[General Discussion] What are you currently REPLAYING (prefix RE)?

Replaying Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory at the moment. I just can't get enough of the slitting of the throats. It's too great.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I picked up FFIX again the other day for no apparent reason. I was going to continue with the game I began a couple months ago but I had long since forgotten what I was supposed to do next in the game, so I just started a new one.

How ya doing, buddy?

Devil May Cry 3

I got tired of waiting for the Special Edition to come out in Europe so I just went ahead and started playing it again. Trying it on Hard this time, but not finding it too difficult.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

At the moment I'm replaying Banjo Tooie.
I started playing my original version on the N64, but I just couldn't bare the low resolution graphics quality anymore after having tried to let Banjo work on my PC (with Project64)....with which the graphics quality is absolutely freakin' amazing!
I recently bought a USB adapter for my N64 Controller and now I'm playing it on my PC instead!
(much better indeed...especially with the "save state" function and finding out there's a secret "Bottle's Revenge" mode in the ROM of Banjo Tooie....which can only be found with a gameshark or the cheat function in Project 64!!)

I was speaking idiomatically.

Star Ocean, Till the End of Time for me.
Probably one of the most hated games of all time - but I really like it. The story's pretty good, although the presentation of various elements of the story is absolutley horrible.

However, the gameplay (battle system) is great. I like real-time battle systems. And in my opinion, Star Ocean, TtEoT's battle system is complicated enough to keep one busy trying out combinations and various strategies, but simple enough to capture one's interest in the first place.

I don't generally like putting restrictions on myself when replaying games (eg, saying "I must only use physical attacks" or "I must not use any stat increases" or "I must beat the game at level 6"), but I do enjoy seeing how efficient I can be (speed running and such). So this time, I'm seeing how long it takes me to do each battle (boss battle, more like) and making sure the method I use is systematic and efficient.

...I do seem to be a bit over-algorithmic in my approach to games (and like, everything else) these days. Perhaps the abundance of mathematics around me is having a negative side-effect. Increasingly so, because higher mathematics is anything but algorithmic...oh well.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

My most current replay is "Illusion of Gaia" for SNES. One of my all time favourites. Let's not forget about all of the other great SNES RPG's!

FELIPE NO

Is that the one with Claude and crew? cuase if it is I really liked it. I agree, I really liked the battle system.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

You know if you checked out Yama's journal, you would know that he is not just playing Tales of Phantasia but absolutely destroying the game.

In the mean time, yama is a banana.

I am still replaying Valkyrie Profile although I don't think I am going to get around to Final Fantasy VII. I want to play Xenogears again tho.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

RPGs are scary. Before I start a new RPG I feel like I'm making a commitment to my playstation and my television.

Gosh, I'm such a loser...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I have to say that I feel the same way, in a particular sense.

When I buy a game, I experience a certain sense of duty to complete it too. Although that's perhaps because there's money involved, and it's always a good idea to get the most out of a purchase...

Anyway, back to my dearly beloved Star Ocean (which I just completed...I feel empty inside now). If you liked Star Ocean II's battle system, then you'll probably enjoy Star Ocean III's. It's a bit lacking on the 'adding points to obscure talents' section, but the battles are a lot better. I felt that SO II tended to reduce itself to mashing and spamming too quickly.
Then again, if you know how, you can sort of mash and spam your way through SO III on even the hardest difficulty setting. Right, enough rambling from me.
I may replay Xenosaga II. No wait, that'll only make me want XS I and XS III more...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Funny story: A couple of months ago i decided to replay Chrono Cross on my PS2. I got about 2-3 hours into it when i decided to save for the first time. I got a pretty shocking surprise when i noticed that i didn't have a PS1 memory card. Now I could have borrowed one from a friend of mine, but i was so pissed that i just turned of the ps2

Anyway, that was the most recent attempt to replay something.

I'm trying to replay Halo on Legendary mode, but I don't think I'll be able to beat half of the levels. The AI is just way too good.

I was speaking idiomatically.

As soon as my sexy new computer gets here, I'll be playing through Half Life 2 again. This time in it's full potential. After that I'll probably pick up Doom 3 again.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Not really now, but I replayed a few of my old gamecube games last months. First it was tales of symphonia. after that metroid prime, i tried to replay mp2 but i went straight to Metal Gear Solid: TS. I replayed TS a few times to gain all Dog Tags in easy mode, then i got bored because of Stealth camoflage and bandana.
latest game I replayed was Zelda The Wind Waker I got all treasure maps, but then i got bored of treasure hunting

maybe i should replay MP again

FELIPE NO

Been replaying Breath of Fire III for the past couple of days. I just beat the first round in the Tournament of Champions by finishing off the Dodai that Claw stood on.
I was going to wait to take out the Dodai during the third round with Patrio but because of his incredible likely hood of getting Lucky Strikes, I was turned away form the idea because I would eventually have to heal my Dodai which would then have him targed me instead of it.

Stupid me for not starting the first battle fully healed :P.

I recently found my copy of GT4 (which I thought I had sold) and discovered that I still had my old save file, so I decided to have a go on it. Took me a while to get back into the style of driving after playing driving games with "arcade-style" handling, but got the hang of it now though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Had an inking to replay Indiana Jones and The Emperor's Tomb again. I've never won it yet, so it's a good time as any to do it. I'm starting over from the beginning though, as I ran into some problems halfway through that's making it hard for me to get past the level.

Has anyone else played it? I think it's pretty darn cool. I just love the combat system.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm currently replaying Metal Gear Solid 3 (Subsistence) in European Extreme. Some parts were vastly more difficult than others. A few of them were just insanely frustrating. All of the bosses were difficult. I'm at the part where I'm trying to drag EVA's slow ass through the jungle. I don't know how I'm going to pass it, considering I can't get detected at all.

It's been interesting, the kind of tactics I've employed. One area was insanely difficult for me because there were multiple guards, no good hiding places, watch dogs, and to top it off I was 90% unarmed and without camouflage. I struggled with the part for hours, then finally passed it by rushing all the guards behind their backs and knocking them out with cigarette spray. While I was doing it, I was like, "this is never going to work. I'm sooo caught."

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Awhile back I started to replay Emperor's Tomb too, but I stopped to play something else. Right now I'm replaying Jak 2 along with Solis, but it's a lot harder than I remember.. When it came out 3 years ago, I got to the final boss in under a week, but it's taking a lot longer this time..

I was replaying Ratchet & Clank 2 and 3 a few weeks ago, but Solis got so far ahead of me so quickly that I quit once he won! He's evil...

I'm almost finished a replay of Seiken Densetsu 3, but I've already started replaying Fatal Frame 2. Just finished the third one and feel like playing more, but I need to give 3 a break before I go back to it. So 2 it is. Right now I'm playing through with an FAQ to start unlocking extras, get the stuff I missed the first time, and complete the spirit list.

Even with that on my plate, Morrowind has been calling me again...

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've been replaying Phoenix Wright almost all the time doing the cases over and over and over again. It's just too much of a blast. The fun thing is, I still get temporarily stuck on certain things while I remember how to solve them. That's the overall beauty of the game.

I'll never ever touch Star Ocean 3 again. Why you ask? Because I've already logged 1000+ hours on it doing this shit when I went to war with the game.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I finished Chrono Cross for the second time recently, and I'm replaying FFVIII and Ogre Battle 64 at the moment. I'm about 80% finished with OB64; more people really need to play it. It's one of my favorite games.

FELIPE NO

Valkyrie Profile for the 9th time I believe. One of the few games that never seems to get boring no matter how many times you replay it.

I blame the battle system.

How ya doing, buddy?

I just finished Fahrenheit today and i'm going to replay it now. It was a great ending, despite a so-so ending.
