October's here folks! 10th month of the year! Two and a half months till Christmas (as I'm sure all the shops will remind you now on a daily basis Smilie ). So with the festivities of ghouls and scary things at the end of the month, what be you playing on your console toys until then?

For me, the key word is Persona. The fourth to be exact, and I implore each and every reader with access to a device that can play PS2 games to run out and get it. Now.
Aside from that, there's Final Fantasy XIII and Vanquish on PS3, and Super Mario Land 2 and Zelda 4 Swords on 3DS. Good stuff. Smilie

Been away for a while, looking forward to playing Radiant Silvergun, Rock of Ages, Deus Ex HR and probably most of all Dark Souls.

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

Just Xenoblade atm.

Will be doing the rest of what Four Swords has to offer, and finishing up the missions in the DX add-on of Sonic Adventure. Also started on Silent Hill 2, but don't know whether I'll get the chance to finish it soon. It's mainly just stuff in my backlog I'm trying to finish up.

I started playing Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi, which is FE6 and the first of the three GBA games, yesterday and I'm loving it so far. It never came out in the West as you can easily tell from its name, so I'm playing a fan-translation on an emulator. I loved the other two GBA games and this one tells the story of Roy, so I had to check it out as well. Smilie

I'm also playing Four Swords and Age of Empires III to mix things up a bit.

Only game I've ever emulated. Because Nintendo never gave me a choice! It's pretty decent, but I still think Fire Emblem (sequel) is the better game.

As for me, I'm not really playing anything unfortunately. Too busy. :/

Yeah, I agree. You can easily notice that FE7 is much more refined when you play it. Things like thieves not having a promotion etc. Funny enough, I think FE8 was too refined with its free roaming/level grind spots and branching promotions. Just a little bit too much. FE7 just got the right balance there. When I'm done with the other games, I think I'll play through it again now that I'm much more experienced with the series. I did a lot of mistakes the first time around, like never leveling up a thief and missing out on many items to steal or using (pre-promoted) characters with crappy growth rates and/or starting stats.

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus on PS3. Both look lovely in 1080p, and SotC in particular benefits enormously from the framerate upgrade (ie; it's now stable). Ico just looks nicer. I suppose it may have slowed down here and there before, but it was minor. In SotC it was all the fucking time, everywhere. The latter doesn't just look better, it plays a whole lot better. 16:9 for both, too!

Echoes221 on 06.10.2011 at 07:51#10

^God damn I want a PS3.

Anyway, for me:
Gears of War 3
Team Fortress 2
Counter Strike Source
Battlefield 3 Beta
Bad Company 2
Halo Reach

Just started playing Twilight Princess again. I figure I should actually try and complete it before Skyward Sword arrives! Smilie
Can't believe it was released five years ago. How time flies. :s

I just completed pokemon yellow! 151 pokemon seen and caught.
Surely that's worth a star?

LKR000 on 07.10.2011 at 12:27#12

Playing Uncharted 3 multiplayer and it's fantastic. The new opening levels are very fun to play on and I love the customization.

This is the PlayStation thread. On a Nintendo site, with millions of other threads you could have said that in, you chose the PlayStation thread? Hero.

Stulaw on 07.10.2011 at 18:04#14

Martin, you've somehow got your threads mixed up.

I'm going to start Playing my games again now that I realised I can get Trophies without logging on to PSN, and now that I've settled into Uni (need an Ethernet adapter for my PS3 to go online though) so I'm going to be playing FFXIII and still playing TWEWY.

I've just gotten back into Final Fantasy XIII. Am gonna try and get the platinum trophy before the 2nd game is out. Smilie

I hate how repetitive it is to earn CP. Plus the adamantoise I fight aren't dropping any Trapeziums or whatever they're called. Smilie I need more dammit! Smilie

I've shared the best CP earning trick a couple of times on this site, do you know about it? If you've completed the majority of the hunts then you'll have the item which doubles your CP too, which makes it easier. It's then just the same as most RPGs where you grind to max level, but nowhere near as bad as farming for Traps and Dark Matters, I agree. The drop rates are extremely poor, but again, you have to make the most of certain areas of the game to quickly reset, load and try again.

If you need more info, just let me know and I'll put it in the FF thread or something :]

I have Twilight Princess for GameCube if you're interested. It's in mint condition. The cheapest buy it now on eBay is £40. What would you offer me for it? I also have Wind Waker Gold edition (with OoT disc) and the Zelda Collection that has LoZ, LoZ2, OoT and MM. I'm sure you know the one.

Marzy on 08.10.2011 at 14:48#22

I might be willing to pay £30 for it (including P&P). No more though.

I've always wanted to try Twilight Princess in its original form, but I've never sure whether to buy it or not, considering I already have the Wii version (has widescreen and improved frame-rate in places). I hate the fact that it was mirrored though.

Martin_ on 08.10.2011 at 15:28#23

Well, I don't know what to tell you. It's probably not worth dropping any money on it if you already have it? Depends how much you want to play the original version, and if you have money to burn. I'd certainly sell it to you for that, though. Don't buy it if you can't really afford it. Just sayin'.

SirLink on 08.10.2011 at 17:43#24

Wow, just wow. I actually just got a Game Over on the second Hero's Trial level in Four Swords. I wanted a good challenge but this is just insane. Shit's flying at you from all directions while every possible hazard is making it near impossible to defend yourself against all that, let alone actually kill the enemies shooting at you. The fact that you often can't possibly have the item you'd desperately need in certain situations doesn't help either, as all you then have is your sword.

Has anyone here beaten those levels already? I'll definitely try again later but damn, they were serious when making those. Smilie
