GhostofAnakin Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Peragus dragged on a bit long. The idea behind it was good, I just thought it would have been better to be done with it a bit quicker.

Krookie Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 I thought it was a bit to long too. I'm going to Block Buster in a little while, and I'm thinking of trying out with Battle for Middle Earth 2, or Hitman. Or both.

karka Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) Kotor 2. Damn Peragus! It's long, boring and linear. Damn! Damn! Damn! Why should i use that damn little droid again and again! Edited July 13, 2006 by karka
Haitoku Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Stella Deus: The Gate of Eternity. Pretty fun tactical JRPG... so far anyways.
Musopticon? Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 EB, Epeiros. I've taken all of Greece except Thermon, Sparta, Chalkis and Athenai, thanks to Epirus' awesome levy phalangites. A huge contigent of armor-piercing slingers and Pyrrhos' royal guard units helped too. I'm just semi-irritated that the ever-present reinforcement bug decided to introduce itself when I was taking Sparta. After a 100% to 11% victory with fullstack armies, a ctd isn't exactly the most welcome of rewards. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
Llyranor Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 I want more tactical RPGs on the DS, darn it. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

Llyranor Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) A tad too dungeon crawler-ish for my tastes, I'll admit. If you're into that, though, keep an eye on Yggdrasil Labyrinth. Being made by Atlus, of course. The art is very nice. Not to be confused with Yggdra Union, the GBA game being published by Atlus.

Thanks for the heads up, it looks interesting indeed. Yggdra Union is suppose to be something of a sequel to Riviera correct?
GhostofAnakin Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 I wonder if Fergie and company can give me amnesia so I can lose my memory and replay all my old games. It worked for the Exile.

Krookie Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Rented Hitman:Blood Money and Battle for Middle Earth 2. Both are fun, but Hitman is really hard, even on the Normal setting. Battle for Middle Earth 2 is actually quite playable on the 360, despite the lack of a mouse and keyboard. The control layout is done very well, but there is some slow down when you've got a lot of troops on screen. The cool thing is, unlike most other RTS games, when they say "huge army" they mean "huge army". Like any other game, you build a barracks and click once on the "soldier" button for one soldier, right? Wrong. Instead of clicking once per soldier, you click once for an entire battalion. That nets you somewhere around 100 troops per 5 clicks. They are 'built' pretty fast too. The resource gathering is also unique, as you don't need to harvest food/wood/all that other stuff seperatly. Instead you build a single structure to carry all that out for you. That also means less workers/builders running around, getting in the way. I think I'll keep Blood Money until I finish it, since BlockBuster got rid of late fees, and actually buy Battle for Middle Earth 2, as the replay value is probably a bit higher, and you get online play.

I remember fighting at the black gate on the good campaign and watching an epic clash of about 5-6 hundred men go at it. it was really funny with the enemy ai... you'd take a single guy put him outside the walls and have every other member of your army be an archer. let the swarm of opponents attack and if you had the right hero you'd let the money roll in as you got cash for every kill. you could kill entire armies with this because they'd send said armies after your ONE troop put outside the wall Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

Craigboy2 Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) I would be playing Zelda: A link to the past next week on my flight to California but my mom screwed up by selecting standard shipping (I'm paying for it, I just don't have a debit card) and amazon is gay so the soonest I might get it is July 21st (which is a day before I leave, but I doubt I'll get it in time) and the latest is Augest 4th. I'll probably get it on July 22, you know after I've left the house and started to head to the airport. On a side not that I should have said earlier, I was going to buy the game for $20, told my mother about it and she said see would place the order after work. By that time she got off that copy was gone and I had to get the one for $25. $5 dollars ins't a lot but it didn't help the mood I was in. ANother thing is right now I only have Metroid Zero Mision which is too souless to play for three hours and Namco 50 Anny Collection with some fun arcade games on it but because you can't save your highscore that takes most of the fun out of them because you know most arcade games are very repititive and the only reason you keep on playing is to beat your old highscore.
