The gaming related ANTI-ventilation thread. - Arjahn - 08-30-2017

We have a normal Anti-vent thread so why not share the love with videogames on this videogame discussion board huh

I'll start, my friend recently grabbed Overwatch and I can actually enjoy playing the game again since he's not super jaded like most of my usual OW buddies and it's fun just jumping in and doing stupid goofs and gaffs with him.

Have you ever played an old Sega Genesis Sonic game and then picked up Sonic Mania? I mean damn!!! Screw that bullshit Sonic 4 crap they tried to pull a few years ago and make this the official Sonic 4!

Going through Fallout New Vegas for who knows how many times at this point, I still occasionally find things I haven't done before. Currently going through Zion Valley with an M1A, M3, Thompson SMG, M1911, and a bolt action rifle. Sure, its a lot of weapons, but I'm going around like a US soldier.

See, the thing is my character was only level 13 walking into that dlc. Practically a newborn. XD

You know, TF2's just a great lil' game. I can play a thousand competitive online shooters and I don't think I'll ever be as amused by them as I am watching a pyro who just installed the game walk the wrong wrong way, shoot at a medkit then jump off a cliff.

RE: The gaming related ANTI-ventilation thread. - Arjahn - 02-26-2018

Something that I still find really cool is that, even with the newest Pokemon games, you can still be using your dudes from 16 years ago in Ruby and Sapphire. How nuts is that? Other games have save transfers for sequels and all, but being able to use the same party members from a decade and a half ago, that shit's just so cool.

RE: The gaming related ANTI-ventilation thread. - Psychospacecow - 02-27-2018

IIRC, you can even transfer from earlier than that with some rom hacking wizardy. At least, I remember reading about a converter around the time I stopped playing.

Got 2 phone calls while playing PUBG Mobile, coming back online to find myself being shot and then falling behindthe sav play zone. I still somehow got that Chicken Dinner. (Nevermind that I died early in the previous 2 matches)

RE: The gaming related ANTI-ventilation thread. - gamemaster1991 - 06-10-2018

KINGDOM HEARTS III IS COMING OUT!!!!! WE HAVE A DATE!!!.... of 2019. Still, we have a date. after like 13 years.

RE: The gaming related ANTI-ventilation thread. - Arjahn - 07-05-2018

Been playing a lot of Terraria lately after grabbing it on a steam sale 5 years ago and hardly touching it, and holy god are the Boss Fights in that game awesome.

I don't actually know why, they're not (at least so far) super complicated or anything, most have two portions and either spawn minions or dash into you a bunch, but good god are they intense. Trying to dodge a ton of projectiles while spamming your potion hotkeys and trying to somehow hit most of your own attacks during all of this madness.

It's just so much freaking fun.

For example, my friends and I got to Hell and there are these chests down there that you can't open because they're Locked. You need to find Keys to open them in the Dungeon, which is this giant stone labyrinth where everything kills you super easily. To get access to the dungeon, you need to defeat Skeletron, this giant floating Skeleton baby head with two weird wobbly arms designed after one of those Halloween decorations.

Now, I've got pretty alright gear, I have a laser pistol and I'm only dying once every ten minutes in Hell, so I'm feeling pretty confident. I head up to the dungeon, setup an arena that'll let me dodge some of his attacks, and spawn the boss.

Skeletron fucking annihilates me instantly, his arms are so weird and floaty, I can't dodge shit and I die.

So I respawn, and now my sole purpose in life is to kill some second grade wall decorations.

I mine a bunch, make some better armor, learn how to make potions, make a ton of potions, kill a Bee and make a gun out of her butt that spawns baby bees, get some dope looking cosmetics, and come back for round two.

I fire up that one Guitar Hero song everyone knows, and let me tell you, this shit was probably the most intense Boss Fight of my life. This time I can kind of dodge his attacks, can outrun him a bit and I have better defense so each hit does slightly less horrific damage. It's touch and go, in and out, but I'm making progress. I've got to run as fast as my little booties can take me while shooting behind and then jumping over the entire freaking skeleton head to try and get behind him so I can repeat the process. I finally manage to take his arms down when, surprise, this guy turns into a super fast Skeleton head who twirls around like a ballerina and fires tiny homing skulls at you! Fun!

It gets down to the wire, the music is blaring, my small army of Bees is chasing him and he goes dowwwwwn. I fucking cheered after killing this guy too, I'm not a very emotive guy but this fight was so satisfying I was fist pumping and shit at 2 am trying not to wake anyone up.

Went back to see if I could beat Rampage 2, and I love how silly Midway can be. The plot of the game is that they captured the original monsters from the first game and locked them in three different cities. They locked Lizzie (lizard) up in Tokyo, George (gorilla) is in New York, and Ralph (wolf) is in London. It's the simple things that make me laugh.

I love the feeling of acidently finding a game you've been looking for.

For a few years now, I've been looking for the first two PlayStation games I ever played. The first is Sheep Raider (Sheep, Dog, 'n' Wolf), which I remember getting at lest half way through the game do a round robin thing with my siblings and aunts. The other I had no clue what it was, but I could remember tiny details about one area in the game. The problem is that I couldn't ask someone what it was because the details are vague. I remember rescuing a girl from a prison that was located in a cave. It was an RPG that lets you have three party members with the kidnapped girl joining when you rescue her. The end of the dungeon (or as much as I knew at the time) had a giant brute as a boss.

Cut to almost 20 years later, I picked up copy of The Legend of Dragoon at a .50 auction (spent like $3-$5 on it) and was excited about getting a $20 game for cheep. I started playing it, and I started to get a strange feeling I've played this before. I was just writing it off as typical RPG elements and just went out to recuse the kidnapped girl. This changed when I got to Hellena Prison, which is inside a mountain, and I started to recognize  all the screens. I bought my second Playstation game ever by accident. Now if I can find Sheep Raiders, I'll be really happy.

That's awesome and The Legend of Dragoon is probably my favorite PS1 game (I can't think of any others at the moment).

I once bought it for $5 to give to my brother on Christmas. He laughed and said "you're getting that so you can play it". Yeah, I kinda did. 
Fast forward years later and he did the same thing to me with Fallout: New Vegas. I didn't even have a Xbox 360 at the time. Brotherly love lol. 
(Forgive me if I've told this story before, anyone).

Good luck finding Sheep Raiders (holy jeez I just looked at the online prices).

RE: The gaming related ANTI-ventilation thread. - gamemaster1991 - 09-21-2018

The original Kingdom Hearts is 14 years old this year. I first rented the game about that time, but I think I owned the game a year later for Christmas. I've beaten this game a number of times, with a few road blocks popping up that I thought I would never beat. Out of all of those toad blocks, only two ever remained, the Ice Titan and Sephiroth. I always thought that they would stay unbeaten on any of my profiles and I was fine with that.

Yesterday, I got up and loaded up my profile I beat the day prior just to try my hand at the Ice Titan before putting the game away for awhile.
Half an hour later, I got this trophy. [Image: 15S0e6f51.png]

That sparked my enthusiasm, and I went to craft Ultima Weapon for the other boss fight.

Later that night, I got this trophy. [Image: 16S9a0920.png]


So, all these years later I beat both optional bosses, on Proud mode no less. I even beat Unknown, which was still pretty difficult, but was easier then the last fight I had to do. I found out that the Ice Titan is a great place to grind to level 100. He's really the second easiest boss if you know what you're doing (which, side note, I've found out that alot of people don't know how to play the original Kingdom Hearts right), and just need to have the Tec Boosters equiped when you enter the battle.
