Is this it? I've seen it in a few videos but don't really know much about it.

Nah. That's original Yumé Nikki (which I believe was a SNES release). Yumé Nikki Gensou is a fanmade Flash game that is actually pretty awesome considering it's fanmade and it uses Flash. 

 

It has a map layout much like Metroid and gameplay is like Castlevania. 

 

 

It's only in Japanese so unless you can read Japanese, you can't really read anything. You just learn what a few things mean by playing the game. Really, you don't need to know Japanese to get a good experience out of it. If nothing else, the music in the game is freaking awesome. 

 

 

It's not entirely polished, but when you consider it for what it is, it's a very fun game. You can beat it in about 4-6 hours. If you're interested in playing it, good luck finding the files, though. They're pretty difficult to come by. I've burned them to a CD so I have a permanent copy. I really don't remember where I found the game.

I saw some screenshots like that. Wasn't sure if it was the same game or not. If it doesn't require any knowledge of Japanese to enjoy I may play it. Wish games like that had English versions though.

[lomk 20,663]

@@Discordian, I might go poking around. I'm sure the game exists somewhere out there. It was just difficult to find. And I agree but maybe the creator didn't know English. The game didn't garner a huge following so I'm not surprised there's no English version.  That's why I had asked if anyone had heard of it. It's not very well known lol

[Discordian 6,015]

Maybe I should learn Japanese so I can just play all teh games instead of waiting hopelessly for English versions or fan translations. There's a Japanese-only PSP game I really really really wanna play but there's little chance of it ever coming here. It has the most amazing final boss theme of all time. It's called Legend of Heroes: Ao no Kiseki. The song is called The Azure Arbitrator. Seriously, go look it up. That shit makes me want the game purely for that. <3

I am playing the game of life, it takes place in my house and starts with me waking up and ends with me going to sleep, i feel like my game will be a blockbuster hit.

I'm absolutely hating the new UI for this year, and don't think that many of the new features really add anything. I think it's gone a bit backwards this year...but I'll keep playing anyway.

[Gernia 691]

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS. I like a lot of the new characters so far.

[Lelek 178]

Dragon Age: Origins. Very tactical RPG. I like tactics

 

[ShadowPirateX 600]

This is honestly one of my favorite games in the whole series, partially because of the music, and the only problem I have with it is that they insist on forcing the Wiimote controls into the game when there's absolutely no reason for it. Everything in that game could be mapped to a button and the Wiimote actually makes the QTEs in the duels harder than necessary.

 

is even better than the original.

 

I would also argue that most of the 3D games in the series are infinitely better than the 2D games because they actually try to do something different instead of trying to be stuffed into that small little box the Genesis games made a standard for. If anything's killing the franchise it's the fans wanting the games to be exactly like that.

It's one of my favorite Sonic games too! Sure it can be a bit difficult, sure some of the challanges can be a bit asinine (Looking at you Chain of 20 Enemies), but overall I liked it. A tip for the sword clashes; what I did is similar to how I managed to pull off the timing based attacks in Ōkami. Shake, split-second pause, shake. Repeat until the first prompt appears, then look for the other prompts. But you have a point. I can see the GameCube controller working for the game.

 

Crush 40's version is good, but I prefer the original. Each to their own.

 

Nice to see I'm not the only one who prefers 3D Sonic games over 2D. I cold never bring myself to like the 2D games. I just don't like how they work and the ridiculous difficulty. And wanna know what's even more franchise killing? Some fans want the character roster to be reduced to just Sonic and Eggman.

The Wonderful 101 on Wii U

Right this second, playing the AC Unity mobile/companion app. It's something to do.

[Jackleberry 1,921]

Terraria.

 

I'm not sure what happened while I was gone, last I checked the game was supposedly no longer being updated (if I remember correctly), but I feel like so much has changed since I last played, whenever that was. I especially love the snow/ice stuff that's going on, in fact I plan on (and have already begun) setting my 'base' inside a glorious ice cave, just because of how awesome it looks and feels.

[Blacklight 118]

At this current moment, I am playing World of Tanks on my 360. Got to say, I'm having a blast!

Just foolin around with a few other bronies on Xbox XD

[Pinkamena-Pills 6,839]

Halo: The Master Chief Collection. 

 

And realizing that "holy shit -- this is alot of Halo", but also realizing "wow..Halo 2's gameplay is..painfully outdated..great..but outdated..nostalgia be damned indeed." 

[Adorkable 2,737]

Right now, I've already beaten it, but I'm still playing around on Sonic Boom for the Wii U. ^^

[DashieDoo 54]

Currently playing the new WoW expansion. Anyone else playing on Feathermoon server? My main's name is Freyadin.

[Larkybird~ 734]

Kirby's Epic Yarn for the wii. UuU

[Discordian 6,015]

Giving Valhalla Knights 2 another try. Wasn't feeling it the first time.

 

I hate RPGs that don't give you money for beating enemies but make everything cost money.

 

Defeated in battle? Oh, we're gonna take half your money for "expenses". Have unidentified items? Buy Analysis Cards or find them in the field! (yeah right, I've found two of those to ten unknown items) Need allies? NOPE MONEY.

 

:okiedokielokie:

I downloaded this the other day but much like Happy Wars I'm probably never gonna play it unless a specific friend of mine wants to play. He's the only person I usually do any sort of multiplayer with and we mostly do coop.

 

 

Halo: The Master Chief Collection. 

 

And realizing that "holy shit -- this is alot of Halo", but also realizing "wow..Halo 2's gameplay is..painfully outdated..great..but outdated..nostalgia be damned indeed." 

I just played Halo for the first time the other day. I was gonna wait for this collection but I won't have an Xbone for a good while and Halo 3 and Reach were available through Games With Gold. Beat Halo 3 already and will be doing Reach.

 

Halo coop is all kinds of fun. You don't have to worry about saving your allies since you just respawn as long as they find a safe spot. We often used this to our advantage to suicide grenade groups of tough enemies.

 

Also getting through the game on Legendary helped get me closer to my goal of getting a Gamescore of 25k by 2016 (I'm around 16k right now). 125 points for each difficulty achievement is a great boost.

 

 

Right now, I've already beaten it, but I'm still playing around on Sonic Boom for the Wii U. ^^

So what's the down-low on Sonic Boom? I'm not gonna be able to get it or a Wii-U for awhile yet but this is the first game I'm getting without a doubt.

 

Also, do you plan on playing the 3DS one? I'd like some thoughts on that one too if so.

Psychonauts, Skyrim (hint: For true enjoyment, roleplay; its an rpg) and im getting Baldurs Gate soon.

Psychonauts, Skyrim (hint: For true enjoyment, roleplay; its an rpg) and im getting Baldurs Gate soon.

I love Psyhonauts but I wish I had a controller to play it with. I have it on Steam and no compatible controllers. I tried to get my PS3 controller to work but the only thing I know that works for that is a broken mess that shut down my mouse and touch pad capabilities. My 360 controllers are also wireless so that won't work either. I'll need to get a PC controller or buy a wired 360 controller.

 

Who roleplays in RPGs? It's all about stat management!
