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

It's funny, too, because in PM64, my favorite characters are Goombario, Bow, and Lakilester, yet they're very situational to use for the most part but in TTYD they're all pretty useful and all pretty cool (except Flurrie, no idea what IS was thinking with her) and balanced on top of it. But my favorite to use was always Koops because of his abilities like the shield and his breakdancing moves.

I kind of hope if the next game is 64/TTYD style they'll really go out there with new and returning characters for party members. For instance, General Guy returning, only this time as a party member. That would be so awesome.

I suppose I'll ask again.

Does anyone want a free copy of:

Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition Wii U
OlliOlli Wii U
SteamWorld Dig Wii U
BIT.TRIP Presents... Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien Wii U
Mighty Switch Force! 3DS
SteamWorld Dig 3DS
Gunman Clive 3DS

They're all good and all well worth your time.

I'd gladly take SteamWorld Dig Wii U and Gunman Clive off yer hands.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Sent!

[Foggle]

Thank you.

I just just beat the demo for Jack The Reaper. It's a pretty fun indie game that plays like Kirby and Gunstar Heroes or at least that's the best simple description I can come up with. I can't wait until the entire free game comes up. The demo was longer the most indie games.

Welp, with all the crossover promotion and art it was inevitable. A Squid Girl costume DLC is coming to Splatoon. Likely will remain exclusive for japanese players, though.

[Spark Of Spirit]

It kind of can't be because online players see each other's costumes from every part of the world and can buy them from Spike if they want. Nintendo probably worked through the overseas issues since it will appear in every version regardless of license.

My question is where is my Squidward costume?

I found FF VIII at GoodWill for only $6 today, and almost bought it for the novelty- until I saw that it only had the first 2 discs.

Part of me thinks that I should go back, anyway.

[gunswordfist]

TAKE IT BACK. Don not get ripped off. I'll lose sleep if you do. I swear.

Guys. Guys. I've never touched a Metal Gear Solid title in my life. Just noticed this PS3 compilation called The Legacy Collection. Seems like it has almost every game in the franchise barring MGS5. $25. Good deal? Should I go for it? Anything negative that would ruin it for me? It looks as though if I ever wanted to check out the series, this would be a fantastic option.

[gunswordfist]

Foggle or talon should know.  Also, play MGS2 first, if you get it and then the rest in order.

[talonmalon333]

I've only heard good things about it. And it seems like a really easy way to each game, all of which being solid if not fantastic. I've never heard of any glitches or issues with it, so unless Foggle can correct me, I'd definitely say go for it.

[Nel_Annette]

Right on, then. Next paycheck, I'm ordering it.

I'm pretty sure it's just a double pack of the HD Collection and the re-released MGS4 with a download code for MGS1 included (which hopefully hasn't expired yet), so it shouldn't have any issues.

I personally suggest playing through the series in release order. Try Metal Gear 1 on the HD Collection disc first (playable from the menu of MGS3); if you don't like it, skip to MG2, and if you don't like that, skip to MGS1 (etc).

Seems like it has almost every game in the franchise barring MGS5.

It doesn't have Portable Ops, Rising, or any of the non-canon games either. I urge you to try Rising and Ghost Babel at some point if you find yourself liking the series.
