What are you playing?

Dragon Quest I•II: Dragon Quest - I recently bought Japanese copies of, like, the entire main series of Dragon Quest on Super Famicom/SNES. All at once. I thought I was missing IV, before realising that that one wasn't ON that system! For some reason!
Anyway, I've actually already completed Dragon Warrior for NES (a US copy) and did it in the space of 24 hours, even! I literally only stopped to sleep. I don't know why I did it this way, but it was awesome. I marathoned that thing.
Sooo... I could totally skip DQ I and jump straight to DQ II which I actually HAVEN'T played, right? WRONG. OH YOU'RE WRONG. For some reason I feel the need to conquer the first in the series all over again! Just in translated Super Famicom remake form this time!
I'm out of the starting area and fully equipped past the first two weapon shops so far! Getting some good momentum, strong enough to beat that first Skeleton which has given me my first death in both versions of the game so far. I can't remember where to go next! But that's ok, all part of the fun!

I'm definitely intereseted to see how the SFC port of 2 treats you when you get to it. I played through the Japanese 3DS version a month or two ago and that game has SO many dick moves in it it's just nuts Xp.

I thought I was missing IV, before realising that that one wasn't ON that system! For some reason!

Might be a hypothetical exclamation, but--. They didn't get around to releasing the remake of Dragon Quest III until December of '96. By then, almost all Enix, and ChunSoft development shifted to the newer consoles. They still didn't finish the Dragon Quest IV remake on the PS1 until late 2001, but it sort of fit the pattern they developed with main-series Dragon Quest releases after the NES: Dragon Quest V ('92), Dragon Quest I-II ('93), Dragon Quest VI ('95), Dragon Quest III ('96), Dragon Quest VII (2000), Dragon Quest IV (2001), Dragon Quest V (Mar. 2004--okay, they broke with tradition a bit here), Dragon Quest VIII (Nov. 2004).

I figured moving onto the next system would be the case for that once I heard about the non-chronological release order of the SFC games! A little annoying to be missing one number in the sequence for that system, but cool to have them all nonetheless! I'll have to pick up IV on Famicom, NES or DS at some point, especially since I'm planning to play the numbered entries in numerical order (not that it matters story-wise, but it's fun to see the progression of the series in order)

Ohhh, I'm looking forward to it then.
So far out of the series, I've beaten IX, Dragon Warrior Monsters, Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker, Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2, VI (DS, fully completed, optional boss and all) and Dragon Warrior (NES) in that order. I just got the whole numbered series on SFC plus a boxed Japanese copy of Dragon Quest Monsters 2: Ruka's Journey (Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Cobi's Journey in the US) so I have a whooooooooooole lot of Dragon Questin' ahead of me. This isn't even all of the RPGs I got at this time either, just the Dragon Quest ones.

I started Ghostbusters: The Video Game on the Sony Playstation 2 this afternoon!

So, the game has two different versions, a more realistic PS3/360 version and a cartoony version for the Wii/PS2. It was also made in 2008, so it probably is the most modern game I have ever played. Like, the characters won't shut up, the game keeps throwing tutorials at me and it is rather stupid easy.

With that being said, I do like that all the actors are back and it really does feel like a true Ghostbusters movie. Arkroyd is the character with the most lines by far as he kind of follows you around. Murray kind of feels like he is phoning it in and still making up lines. The others are doing well and I think they actually care about the project. The combat is good, but it does get a little repetitive after a while. But, it's very short and I do love going back to the Ghostbusters movie.

I hope you enjoy it! I played through the PS3 version a few years ago, and I had fun with it. It is nice and short, and as you mentioned, it is as close as we will ever get to Ghostbusters 3. (As much as I wanted to like it, the reboot was pretty dull.) I loved the section where you prowl the hotel with a PKE meter.

I like to play series in order, too, even if there's not really any continuity in the stories. It's nice being able to follow some of the "inside" references, and callbacks to earlier games.

Jurassic World Evolution (PS4) so easy it's kind of boring the only thing that makes things difficult is some of the missions make unreasonable and stupid demands that are real time wasters. Jurassic Park III Park Builder (GBA) is about 10 times better then this slop never got a chance to play Operation Genesis on the PS2/Xbox but I imagine this is a pretty big step down from that as well.

The systems are just crap it's probably the blandest sim of any type I've ever played. I wouldn't recommend spending over $15 on it.

Only playing Heroes of the Storm recently. It's a pretty fun and casual Moba that deserves more attention.
Besides that I've been playing Hollow Knight which is not as great as people make it out to be imo, but still a very fun game.

I'm a huuuuge Ghostbusters fan, and I freaking LOVED this game! I played the 360 version, even imported it from the US since it's region free and I just couldn't wait any longer for it when it came out, since you guys got it earlier (like pretty much every game ever)

Speaking of games which took ages to be come out here in the UK compared to the US:

Animal Crossing - Two years. We had to wait TWO YEARS from the US release date for this to come out in the UK!
Then, after waiting so long and being so hyped for it, it turned out that the day I got it was an end of month raffle day at Nook's. Meaning- the shop was closed. Meaning- no real way of making bells. Meaning I wandered around town for the whole day shaking trees in vague hope that 100 bell bags would drop. But what did drop was mostly BEES. I met most of my villagers with a horribly swollen face, with them screaming in horror at this monster who'd just moved into town. The original Animal Crossing has no medicine to heal bee stings, meaning I had to wait for the next day for them to heal.
This was my introduction to Animal Crossing.

Coming back after...

THAT long?! My town is a mess. It is only weeds now. By this point I've just about cleared them all out (after three days of playing daily) and realised how very little I've done in this game compared to Wild World and New Leaf, which I've both played extensively. I still need to fully upgrade and pay off my house, and that place is a total dump!! I'm really missing a lot of New Leaf's quality of life gameplay tweaks and improvements- the menus feel like a gigantic chore compared to it, and having to post fossils and wait a day to get them appraised is a pain. But, as it turns out, I just now finished my museum's fossil exhibit! After all these years, I only had one more thing to donate to it, and it just so happened to be the first fossil I got my hands on playing it again!
My goal is to fully upgrade and pay off my house to consider this game finally beaten, plus perhaps counting that and getting all the golden tools/filling the entire museum as a goal for completion.

And- oh! What's THIS I found in my mess of a house...? It's-

Donkey Kong - The good ol' playable NES games from the original Animal Crossing! I've missed these the most from the series! I currently have Donkey Kong, Balloon Fight and Clu Clu Land. I R E A L L Y want Wario's Woods, was pretty excited when I looked up the NES game listings in AC and saw that one! Apparently it's one of two only available via the GBA-link island, which I've just been visiting! I'll have to look into methods of getting it from there, since I really want to play it! It's kinda magical finding that you actually already own a set of games within another game without really realising it! I knew about some of them, but I'm much more into something like Wario's Woods compared to the set of early, very arcadey NES games that I knew were in there. Wario's Woods was a cool surprise!

Anyway, something about the Wii (that I'm playing AC on) connection that I'm using makes the screen go blank on starting up a NES game on my TV screen. Think it's a resolution switching issue- I have the same thing happen with starting certain Virtual Console titles on my Wii. Luckily, you have the option to temporarily download NES games to your GBA and play them that way, so I did just that, and beat both mode A and B to do it all, so, game complete!

The NES version of Donkey Kong always feels oddly lacking to me, especially considering how short a game it is in the first place- no "How high can you get?" progress screen before levels (that... could have been worded better... >_> ) and the Pie Factory level is missing after level 1.
Still! It was a fun one to briefly revisit and finish, and it only took like 5 minutes or so!

I started Oddworld Abe's Oddysee tonight,I had been waiting for this game for a long time, my cousin was bringing me from Germany.
However, play on the original PS1 and pad, it's a great feeling that resembles the best times of childhood.
I've never been able to finish Oddworld, maybe this time.


I also recommend the Rocket League game and the purchase of Rocket League items.
I made a good purchase because Rocket League is a game that is amazing and one of a kind. There is a lot of excitement, adrenaline, competition, constant improvement of your playing technique. I prefer to play Xbox and PS4, these are my favorite platforms to play with a friend, but I have two accounts on two different platforms. I would love to transfer my items from one account to another, from the Rocket League account on PS4 to my Xbox account. Racket League or Rocket League, but it seems that the only way is to sell my items, and for the money I earn from the sale I should buy items on the target platform.
It requires a lot of patience and tolerance, but tolerance is good. Equality is very important.
I believe that if you want to buy item for Rocket League then you should try it in some trusted online store, ideally it would be a shop with good community rating and great reputation. Crates is the main purchase, but items are definitely more popular. I plan to buy Rocket League items soon and it should be something fancy, so once again I will be happy to add new content. Yes, it's something new and it's a light futuristic, but it's good quality.
I tried different stores and I am optimistic, I bought the best rocket league items I bought in the store like this one https://odealo.com/games/rocket-league

Cheap items, a large selection of crates and fast delivery of orders are some of the most important issues for me. That is why I consider this a very important aspect and worth considering

Welcome to the forums! Let us know what you think of the game. I have been trying to decide between a run through of the original and a run through if the remake, and I am curious as to whether the original holds up.

As said on the appropriate thread, I've played Tyrian 2000 and Raptor Call of the Shadows today, because... my mouse broke!

Apart from that, I've been playing a lot of Heliborne and Girls' Frontline these days.
