What Have You Been Playing Lately? Options

[I.S.T.]

FF5 Advance, European edition(Fixes a few bugs, including making Knives other than the Chicken Knife useful. ). I'm up to Walse, as it's called in this version, massively overpowered because I felt like building. I looted the castle, and now need to meet the king.

Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation. Gotten up to Chapter 9, Kyosuke route(Ryusei is just the most annoying looking fool I have seen in a game for a long time...). I'm doing an all skill points run, which, for someone who has not played a strategy RPG in over five years, and has never played an SRW game before, is pretty brave.

Unfortunately, I've run into a roadblock. To get the skill point(aka Battle Mastery), I need to kill all enemies in seven turns. The problem is only two of my units can kill the reinforcement Lions in one hit. Makes things difficult, given they DO NOT ATTACK YOU! They ignore you completely. Thus, I need to grind up cash for upgrades, to the point where my Gespensts can kill these in one blow normally(perhaps needing a critical hit. I can get those via the wonderful world of instant saving. So glad this game has that.). The tanks hit you, luckily, so you can counter attack them to Explosionville.

I get roughly 50K per run, and need about 500K total if I want to get all the upgrades. I could probably knock it back 100K or more, but I also want to upgrade my two units so I can kill the boss easier.

SRT:OG1

Got that stage beat due to luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. I noticed while grinding for cash that I could do it if I was careful enough. So, I gave a try, and almost failed. A mixture of not paying attention to where my units were placed(A flaw of mine...), and bad luck almost made me retry again. The tank enemies were not attacking me, or were attacking people outside of their counter range. But, with a little luck, I managed to pull it off.

The next stage, I ran into a similar problem. This time, it's kill one of two units in 4 turns total. The problem? The game lies to you. The way it's worded, it sounds like kill one of those two units within four turns of them showing up. So, I wound up not getting the Battle Mastery. I tried to get the boss that shows up to kill me, but he has a very peculiar order for picking enemies to smack across The Universe Itself, and runs out of energy before getting to the Hiryu. Hiryu being exploded=lost stage always.

FF5 Advance

Beat the Tower of Walse, and got the Water Crystal jobs. I am in the process of grinding some of them. I won't grind them all, as some are kinda useless. Once I get done grinding jobs, I will go and get the Shiva summon. After that, I will proceed properly.

[I.S.T.]

FF5 Advance

Accidentally got a bit further, heh. Went into Karnak to buy stuff, then got arrested. XD I went back to the town, bought stuff and went backwards so I can do the Shiva quest.

SRW: OG1

Beat that stage with a bit of trickiness, then played the next one. Ran into some trouble, but Sara helped me out. Thanks again!

Next is a run through FF1. Well, not all of it. A friend of mine has an FF1 project, and needs someone to get pictures for it.

[I.S.T.]

Didn't really do much with FF5 Advance today... just got like 5 job levels. that's it.

Didn't do anything with OG1, either.

Most of my gaming time today was spent with FF1 NES. I hate this game so much now.

[I.S.T.]

Done with FF1. I hate that game so much.

Did a bit of grinding yesterday with FF5 to test the new Procaster version. Less than 10 minutes worth, given it was a test. That's about it. FF1 took up all my gaming time.

[I.S.T.]

FF5 Advance

Beat the Fire Ship or whatever it's called. Got the jobs it gave me a few levels, then I began making my way to the Library of The Ancients.

Edit: Beat the Library. Got the Dark Matter from the boss, but forgot to get his Blue Magic spell like a dummy. Ah, well, I'll get it later. Got all the other Blue Magics from the place though, four in all. Next up is a bit of job grinding, to get my White Mage and Black Mage jobs up a level. Won't take much ABP to get.

[I.S.T.]

Been busy lately...

Played a lot of SMT: Imagine. Gotten up to 21st level, levleing until I hit 25 so I can do the next story quest. Level caps like that when it takes like ten hours to hit 25 is really clumsy...

[I.S.T.]

Gotten my Expertise in Imagine up a fair bit higher, got some items. That's about it. Haven't been doing much.

[I.S.T.]

Haven't been doing too much. Did play some Streets of Rage 2 though. I need ot continue that save state.

Soon, I will be doing Genesis playing hardcore. I'm buying an X`eye, which is a Genesis/Sega CD combo ala the CDX, but made by JVC. They got the rights due to some contract work they did for the SCD or something. It's apparently pretty rare, but who cares, it's a Genesis! And a Sega CD! Can't wwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttttttt.

[I.S.T.]

Been doing A LOT of Lunar: The Silver Star lately. Up to getting, then losing the Dragon Helmet. Surprised me a lot, despite expecting something like that to happen.

[I.S.T.]

Finished Lunar 1. Moving onto Lunar: SSSC. After that, I'll take a break from Lunar for a while, then do EB and EBC.

[I.S.T.]

Up to getting Kyle in SSSC. Got all the Bromides so far too.

[I.S.T.]

Finally got back to OG1. Completed the last mission I was on, 13, and now I'm onto 14.

[Darkskeleton]

Just started a new playthrough of FFVIII, been playing the single player Red Faction Guerrilla Warfare a bunch too. A lot of guilty gear too of course and I am thinking about resubscribing to WoW again (I go off and on a lot with that game)

[I.S.T.]

I've been playing Seiken Densetsu 3 recently. Forgot how good the game is. Doing(In order), Hawk, Kevin and Carlie.

[I.S.T.]

Changed my mind, and restarted SD3 with(In order) Hawk, Kevin and Duran. Just Class Changed for the first time.

[Darkskeleton]

Last month or so has been League of Legends. It's free and basically a Defense of the Ancients Clone if you know what this is from Warcraft 3. It's good fun and the price is right, i've got the same name on that too so hit me up if you ever decide (or already are) playing.
