*mild Harmony of Dissonance spoilers*
Harmony starts off very promising, gets better, but then it drags on when you're just filling in the maps. I mean, technically that's what you're doing from the start, but when it gets to the point that all you're doing is visiting the opposite version of rooms you've been to, it becomes kind of a chore, especially with the way transportation between the two castles is.
Working on StHA.
My game time lately has been dredged in TurboGrafxry. Aside from ol' Bonk's Revenge which I bested, it was an evening of Devil's Crush and Space Harrier. I noticed that button II is starting to get a little unresponsive on the turbopad I was using... that's simply no good.
Just finished playing Pitfall the Mayan Adventure, great fun. Yesterday i finaly received Gun Star Heroes. Guess thats next.
Working at Gemfire, Beyond Oasis, and SFCD.
Picked up where I last left off in King's Field 2 yesterday. Ended up unexpectedly hurling myself off a cliff and finding a strange samurai tomb with a righteous sword inside, as well as then figuring out where I was supposed to go next, where I made hours of progress past the last save only to stupidly walk into a pool of lava and die instantly.
Worked through to the end of Bonk's Adventure yesterday as well, but misfortune struck in the form of a frustrating final boss attack pattern that I just couldn't seem to work around.
..and this morning I was playing a bit o' the ol' Resident Evil 4, Mercenaries mode. Wanton slaughter, yes indeed.
SSX On Tour
I've been investing a fair bit of time in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. ..that, and this surprisingly awesome LCD handheld of Super Breakout. Paper Mario is one incredibly fun game.. these last 20 hours have just melted away.
Now playing Toy Story for the good ol genesis.
King's Field: The Ancient City has consumed me. While I wouldn't say it surpasses King's Field 2, it's most certainly a great sequel. I can easily forsee 50 hours of my time going into this one.
I'm already playing like 5 different games at once. SF3, FC, PS4, Crusader of Centy, Beyond Oasis, Light Crusader, and once my copies of Vay and Lunar arrive I'll probably start up on them at once XD.
I've actually been playing Evil Dead: Regeneration after picking it up for a few dollars on the PC. Sure it's shallow and repetitive but all I wanted was to slay some deadites and hear a few corny one-liners from Ash and the game delivers.
Right now I'm playing Bust A Groove for psx... really great game.
Heh, I had the same thing happen to me. I fell off and was about to break into a string of curses, and then it was like "WT?" and that sword was there.Quote:

I'm currently working on Half-Life 2 for Xbox and Guitar Hero for the PS2. I picked up the latter on a whim and have been just blown away by it. It's just incredibly well done.
If you liked the first two, there's no way that King's Field: The Ancient City would disappoint. I'm ten hours into it so far and it's just amazing. Get it, Melf - get it!Quote:

I myself didn't quite "get it" until a couple of hours into King's Field 2, but after that, I was hooked. I wish I hadn't sold King's Field 1 all those years ago, as I'd really like to play through it now with my current appreciation of the series.
Still, it would seem enough people like it to keep the sequels a-flowin'. In fact, there's been a King's Field announced for the PSP, although no information exists beyond that.
At any rate, I think I'll go back to the ol' Ancient City right about now.
