Lately, I've been playing Soul Silver (slowly), Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (Even more slowly), and STREET FIGHTA FOH'. I got a Madcatz Standard Edition fight stick, ordered some Sanwa parts and switched them out. Feels so slick. Once I get the art on there (it's going to be Darkstalkers themed), I'll post a picture of it.

Well, I bought Persona 4 last week, and I haven't touched FFXIII since. I freakin love this game.

bought SoulSilver last week. still haven't finished FFXII. in fact i haven't played it in a couple of weeks. not related, but i went to Texas all last week. i love it down there.

[quote="h2orowe"]I love WoW, but for me, it's more of a game I play to have fun with friends/have some fun with PvP. When I played FF11 (I didn't get too far, but I got to one of the "worst" parts of the game: leveling in the Dunes,) I felt like I was in a completely different world. In WoW, there's times where I can get pretty into it, mainly in PvP, but when I do PvE, I just feel like I'm trying to hit the next level when I'm soloing, which is 90% of the time since everyone is level 80 already.

So there's a ton of the game you've just never even seen? Crazy.

Pretty much. It was probably glorious.

Just got Guitar Hero 5. Mii Freestyle is now tons of fun as opposed to World Tours, which was pretty bare bones. You can save a mii freestyle jam and rerecord parts, plus you can play with lighting and stage effects with the DS interactivity.

Party play is great because no failing = more playing = more fun. Now when I play Silversun Pickups - Panic Switch (drums) on expert, I don't fail at 98% from the big finish.

Leaderboards is pretty neat, if it was in World Tour, I didn't notice it. I was surprised to see myself in 35th place or whatever on some songs and I've only been playing the game today. I certainly won't be putting up any expert difficulty scores for fucking Arctic Monkeys - Brianstorm, holy shit... Some serious stick mastery is needed for those sweeping tom-tom beats. I can't even begin.

GHTunes music studio does sound better too, though I only checked it and the user created content briefly. I thought I read somewhere that you could import created songs from WT into this version? I haven't found the button yet if it is possible, but I did find the WT songs and DLC migration.

I think I'll stick with the drum kit I still have, the new one doesn't look like a huge improvement.

Great, so now both Persona 4 and Final Fantasy XIII are kicking my ass.

Since when did Final Fantasy games actually become DIFFICULT!? I don't think I've ever died so many times in a RPG before...

Haha yeah, the bosses can get difficult. I stopped playing right at about chapter 13, lost motivation. I have to go back and beat it soon.

I just started chapter 10 and I'm sooooo bored. I picked up the game again on Monday for the first time in weeks.

I took a week long break from it. I haven't been bored, but it's a little hard to get into the flow of things with this game for me. That, and the bosses just keep kicking my ass. Especially does damn summons.

I'm not trying to sound like an ass or anything, but I think that game is cheese so far, even the bosses. But, like you said, the Eidolon battles can be a pain in the ass. Actually, they are a pain in the ass. Every time.

Yeah, it's a little too "anime" for me as well. The game is just too damn campy in general.

I wish. Unfortunately, my grandfather passed away March 21, and the receiving was in Texas where he lived. If I'm lucky I might get to go to Hawaii and bury his remains in a punch bowl in August, which I suppose is some kind of Hawaiian custom.

Exactly. One thing I absolutely can't stand from Final Fantasy games are the characters' wacky costume designs. It's like.... why?! Let's go back to FFIII please. I guess most RPG games suffer from this, though..
