What Are You Currently Playing? 6.65: Neighbor of the Beast

I just beat my steam copy of Metal Slug X. I've played 2 but not X before. It was pretty much as fun as I remembered 2 being when I played it years ago. All of the levels were solid. This just might be my favorite Metal Slug. The perfect Metal Slug would be levels as good as X/2's + final mission as perfect as 3's + all of XX's features.

X is way better than 2 since it removes the unbearable slowdown. It's also my favorite Metal Slug.

[gunswordfist]

Good choice. I used to have to play 2 with some super super bad slowdown.

I just got down trying Blood for the first time. It froze on my first try and I said fuck it and restarted my computer while doing nothing different and then it worked. I'm going to have to get used to playing it for a built in laptop mouse...or just borrow a mouse. I got nowhere.

Make sure to save often! There are no checkpoints or auto-saves in Blood, but you can quick-save at any time.

I found out the hard way when I had to go back to the first cutscene! lol

I bear Oniken's first level early this morning. I liked the demo version of the level more. It had a 2nd floor and was a bit more open. It kind of had a Rondo Of Blood feel to it. Also, the boss music was a lot better.

[gunswordfist]

I got further on Blood. Now I need to figure out where the hell am I supposed to go.

[gunswordfist]

On Oniken I beat level 3 without losing a life after the level gave me trouble on my other tries. Level 4 is a kind of tricky boss gauntlet. I'm liking the game. It reminds me of NES Ninja Gaiden mixed in with hi-tech Fist Of The Northstar style.

The game where I bang my head against the wall repeatedly trying to get Star Wars Jedi Knight II Jedi Academy to work.

[gunswordfist]

Ugh, level 4 of Oniken is pretty hard.

Fatal Frame 5 is out today!!

[gunswordfist]

I got to the 2nd level of Blood. I'm starting to get hang of this, kind of sort of maybe not really.

[Foggle]

What problems are you having? Old FPS games take a while to get used to for sure.

[gunswordfist]

It's just the fact that I am playing on a laptop's built in mouse pad, or whatever it's called. Blood is actually playing well beyond that.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Level 3-S.

Good Feel, why do you hate me so much?

I mean, I beat and 100%'d it, but man was that brutal.
