What Game/s are you Playing? Daily/whenever check :) 2016 (GAMEPLAY)

[FieryReign]

Just started Boy and His Blob on the PSTV. I like what I'm playing so far, really dig these puzzle-platformers.

Vita's been getting some nice new releases recently. This game, Oddworld: New n Tasty, and Dariusburst Chronicles. Compare that to all the childish garbage junk being released on the 3DS lately.

Yakuza 5 (PS3) is pretty much the only thing I've been playing for the last few days. I finally finished off the final story chapter this week and am now working on the last few mini games & arena battles I need to complete to get 100% completion in the game (currently at 98% completion rate). If it weren't for me importing Yakuza 0 from Japan last year this'd have been my favourite game of the last year. So much fun and content packed into one game. Very tempted to jump straight onto the imported PS4 remake of Yakuza 1 when I'm done, but I'll probably take a break for a couple of months rather than getting burnt out on the series!

Retro wise I've been playing through Capcom's 1985 arcade releases. This week I finished off Section Z, an incredibly fun shoot em up game that didn't overstay its welcome. Its length and difficulty level were just right and the different obstacles over the 26 sections helped the game stay fresh for the duration.
I also had a quick play of the Famicom home ports of Exed Exes and Gun.Smoke which arrived this week. Exed Exes is bad, its slower than the arcade game (not entirely bad, as the arcade game was a tad too fast in places) but this game chugs along painfully slow. The game is also not smooth at all, sprites jerk across the screen uncomfortably and I was bored by the time I reached stage 4. Gun.Smoke is the complete opposite. It looks and runs amazingly well and I much prefer it to the arcade version, which in my opinion was too difficult for its own good in later stages.

How is Boy and His Blob for the Vita? Is it a decent port (no frame rate issues etc.)? I've been meaning to pick the game up but grabbed the Limited Edition release of Darius for the Vita instead (which I don't regret, that game is great fun on the handheld!)

Just finished Kirby Dreamland for the Gameboy the other day, making my way through 2.
Playing Pokemon Blue in Japanese where I'm trying bloody hard to find a damn jigglypuff amongst all these pidgeys and spearows.
Touched DQM2 on Gameboy as well to try and grind my monsters while replenishing my draining herb supply.
Let's not forget about HP & The Chamber of Secrets for the Gameboy, took awhile to get around it, but I'm finally grinding.

Today was a big tournament day at my house, and it was a great time. I don't play in it when I host these, but my friends found out that they were more into some games than they expected. Some of the big hits were Salamander (PCE), Prehistoric Isle 2 (MVS), Devastators (arcade), Ninja Commando (arcade), 'Nam 1975 (AES), and Wetrix (N64).

Afterward, I got to play some Rampart (SNES) with my brother, which was fun, even if I was pretty rusty.

I didn't notice any framerate issues. Some control problems though. Analog instead of dpad character control. I prefer digital pads with 2D platformers. Some unresponiveness when picking beans in the quick-menu. Could be the pstv, though.

I wanted to snag Dariusburst when it was on sale a couple weeks ago. But Sony's store was jacked up, couldn't access it. Looks like a great shmup, just way too expensive for a download.

Played a bit of Castlevania for the NES the other day. I plan on going back to it today to try and beat it!

[Videogamerdaryll]

Testing a bunch of SEGA CD and Sega Saturn Games today..

[PrimordialHelios]

I'm trying to limit myself to one game at a time (it isn't going well ), but I'm currently playing God of War for the first time (extremely close to beating it), and I'm replaying Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days on proud. Planning on Plyaing the remake of Rygar once I finish GoW.

EDIT: I can't believe I actually left out Quake. I've never played through episodes 2-4 or the mission packs, but I'm finally playing it through.

My 3DS XL was out of commission for a few days while my husband repaired a small crack in the hinge. (Didn't send it to Ninty because it's a Pikachu version with only 1 small issue, VERY out of warranty. For $100 and no guarantee of getting a Pika 3DS back? No thanks.)

So lately I've been playing DS games.

Picross 3D
Pokémon SoulSilver
Retro Game Challenge 2 (original Japanese version: Game Center CX - Arino no Chousenjou 2)

I really wish RGC2 would have gotten a Western release, but XSeed made it clear they would have lost their collective shirt on localization and licensing costs. I'm using a FAQ that translates the challenges so I can at least my way through it and unlock the games to play for as long as I want.

Analogue only control is a shame, I always prefer digital for 2D games as well. And yeah, Darius is an awesome game on the Vita but the price could have definitely been better. I'm a collector though so I was always going to snag the game at launch... Not that I really regret it, its absolutely brilliant fun to play!

Anyway, this week I've been playing through Commando for the NES. I've got mixed feelings on this one. It runs really smooth and has great controls but the screen flicker/judder is really bad (distractedly so at first) so bullets would disappear but still kill me which was incredibly frustrating. Plus I didn't really care for the game looping the same four levels four times. Its far from a bad port, but the above issues prevented me from enjoying it more. At least its better than the Amiga port, with sluggish controls and questionable collision detection, topped off with a slow pace.

I've been playing these as of late:

PC: World of Warcraft (Been playing it for over 10 years).

Console: Black Ops 3 Zombies and Garden Warfare 2 on the Xbox One.

One day, I wanna sit down and complete all my NES games, I got over 100 of them...

I've since quit ABAHB due to a game breaking glitch that pissed me off. In the 2nd House world when you're falling down the last level to meet the boss, the game freezes with error message. It was such a glitch that I had to delete the file and redownload the game, it would not open back up no matter what I tried. Couldn't even upload my save data because of an error message.

I've read somewhere else that the Wii version had a similar bug. So yeah, fuck Wayforward for this one. Apparently it's en vogue to release broken games now. It's basically a crime to take peoples money without giving them what they pay for, so how are game developers any different? I'm oh so close to saying fuck videogames forever and looking into a substitute hobby.

After Burner II (Sega Genesis, 1990)

I didn't realize that the game was made to Auto Fire Cannons so I thought it was broken,or my controller stuck..

After trying two systems clone and original several controllers decided to look it up online..
