Post about games that are of VIP Quality or need VIPPER attention!
I'll start with Dwarf Fortress for obvious reasons! ( ˃ ˂)
Next up is Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst!
Sometimes I play with Japanese VIPPERs, they often don't speak a word of English but sometimes we swap emoticons! My SJIS for theirs! ( ί ί)
If I'm lucky, I'll see a VIPPER or two in TF2! Yes, on Weeabootique, though I rarely play anymore. ( ί -ί)

Anyone hyped for HOKUTO MUSOU?

Is this VIP?
I made a private minecraft server for us to play in.
http://minecraft.net/play.jsp?server=6ccc64b13e9285bc327822f883a20e61
Unfortunately it's running on a server currently located at my mother's house, and her internet randomly dies now and then. It usually comes back after about 5-10 minutes.
If GENETOS has allready been posted here, i am sorry, but it is an excellent shooter.

I was so excited when the full version came out, and it's definitely a great idea and very fun, but I unlocked everything and beat all the modes the next day and haven't really played it since - it doesn't seem like playing for score is much fun.
That said it's totally VIP and belongs in this thread.
So how do you VIPPERs feel about FFRollercoaster? I'm sure we're all currently playing it and trying to pretend we're kids again.
It's certainly exceeding the abysmally low expectations I had for it!
"Your search - FFRollercoaster - did not match any documents."
I don't know what you're talking about ):
>>209
FF13
You'd certainly have guessed what I meant if you played it.
20 hours in, and I have yet to choose where I'll go next.
>>195
I know someone who's currently developing a infiniminer/minecraft style game in scheme, it's very VIP so far and will let users make their own stuff(blocks, gametypes, equipment, enemies, maybe vehicles).
Can't wait for it to get to a releasable state so I can show my fellow VIPPERs how cool it is.
I thought I'd share some classic VIPness with everyone. It's a game I played years ago called Super Robot Wars Alpha.(Clip of battle animations here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEWM5jfqkdE) It's all about tactical turn-based robot fighting action. It includes mechs from several popular mech animes. To top it all off, there are some pretty complete translations that can be found with quick Google searches and applied easily if one has the know-how.
Etrian Odyssey III came out in Japan on the 1st of April, I'm really looking forward to a translation.
There are a lot of neat looking new character classes, they can be found here;

>>216
Could a Vipper please translate the Farmers text for me? This class intrigues me.
"They are peasants who look out on the sea of trees, dreaming of great riches. Able to learn various skills for walking through the forest and collecting raw materials, they are experts of forest investigation. In battle, they use auxiliary skills to disturb the enemy.
Example Skill
Nature's Blessing
A skill exclusive to the farmer that increases the acquired experience points of all party members if the farmer is alive when the battle ends.
Two Crops a Year
A skill that restores the execution count of chopping, mining, and taking.
Loitering
A skill where the farmer begins to kill time, causing an hour to pass."
Etrian Odyssey III is a load of fun, I got it the Monday after it was released. I'm actually using a farmer in my party, and while I was a little disappointed with his battle abilities at first, but the option to subclass later in the game allowed me to keep all of the field benefits he gives while gaining offensive skills from another class.
I only want to play EO3 because I can make a party full of pirates.
Any VIPPERs have MH3 yet? Summer just began for me, and I'm looking to put together a group of VIPPERs to hunt all summer with.
>>220
I don't have it, but I may be picking it up if some of my friends agree. I'll be sure to post here if I do.
>>220
I'd like to get it at some point. Monster Hunting VIP team sounds fun!
Hunting with VIPPERs sounds incredibly awesome. I am broke as fuck, still I might be able to scrape enough money together to buy it.
I was going to buy it then I realized I have all these games I don't play already that I just bought because everyone else was so excited about them. All I do is work anymore. I am not very VIP
I picked up SSF4 the day it came out, played for a couple hours. Think the only thing since then has been online poker, damn this gambling habit.
>>228
Same here on the SSF4. For some reason games just aren't able to hold my attention anymore. I love games and get so excited when one that sound good comes out, but then I get it and am bored after dicking around with it for a few hours.
>>227
Dragon Quest IV, Dragon Quest V, FFIII, FFIV, Etrian Odyssey, Etrian Odyssey II, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Front Mission 4, Phantasy Star, Romancing SaGa 3, Shadow Hearts: Covenant, Shadow Hearts 3, and FFX International.
Currently finishing Strange Journey. I can't play more than one game at a time.
I just bought the Orange Box for the heck of it, so now I'm playing Half-Life 2 and Team Fortress 2. I feel so mainstream!
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

>>235
They are great games, if you ever get a chance I highly recommend them. The most atmospheric FPS' I've ever played.
First night of Monster Hunting was great. Good Great Jaggi kill guys!
Currently enjoying Resonance of Fate, a JRPG about killing the christian god, guns, and street fashion. I enjoy playing dress-up with the pretty boys. Stop making me sexually confused Tri-Ace.
(Also, something like a third of the unlockable clothes I saw were ROF merchandise... that's pretty dumb, even if the devs most likely had no say in the matter. What sort of asshole walks around wearing a shirt with an effigy of themself?)
Tri-Ace really are at their best when they don't bother telling you what the hell is going on.
I'm thinking about getting Monster Hunter Tri for COOL QUALITY MONSTER HUNTING, but I'm also thinking of picking up Super Mario Galaxy 2 or Fragile Dreams - Farewell Ruins of the Moon.
Any input, VIPPER?
I have just learned both that there was another Alien Breed in production and that it is already out! This is very exciting news to me. I remember spending countless hours playing the nigh-impossible Alien Breed: Tower Assault. I haven't even played it yet, but I know this will be a must-have for VIPPERs everywhere: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_XV-dlzYAw
I'm playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II.
Fuck Mira, she sucks and I don't want to be forced to play as her.
>>241
Monster Hunter is probably my favorite game of all time. SMG2 seems the same as the first. Up to you though.
Fragile Dreams - Farewell Ruins of the Moon wasn't bad, but it was a tad on the easy side. The environments are beautiful - it seems like every wall is covered in amazing drawings and graffiti. If you are in the mood for a more relaxed game then it's a good choice.
I've been playing Strange Journey - I'm kind of dissappointed, because some of the monsters look really bad, like they were scaled down really poorly. The thing is, it will show a close up image when you fight a boss and the drawings are amazingly detailed. It makes me wish they would make a game on an HD console with some nice hi-res, hand drawn graphics. Also, the game is pretty easy so far and I was hoping for something epicly hard and long. Now I want to try Dark Spire, Etrian Odyssey, and Infinite Space, but I can't decide. I can only get one for a long vacation I'm going on - can any vippers recommend one over the others?
>>246 I want you to look back on this post when you reach sector E.
As for me, I've been playing a bunch of Super Mario World romhacks. The quality varies wildly, but I'm bored enough waiting for university to start again that quality really doesn't matter.
I wish there was an online version of Last Blade, it's always been more fun than the Street Fighter series.
>>249
Interesting, though I don't like how the GGPO site just assumes you're running windows. Looked all over and not one word about what platforms it runs on other than the download file extension. Wonder how hard it would be to port or if it works with wine.
www.cosmicbreak.com
It's like a combination of Virtua On and Custom Robo.
>>252
I'm going BRD. They have green GaoGaiGar with a sword as a battlefield summon. Can't beat that. I'd love to play with some VIPPERS.
Anybody playing MGS PEACE WALKER?
>>254 Well then, I guess you showed me! The only thing I can really say is watch out for sector G, but given you've survived sector E it shouldn't really be too problematic. Might want to bring along your own map, though.
Beyond that, I can't say with any honesty that the game gets that much harder at all. Sorry.
>>261 That's ok, Dark Spire is only like 12 bucks so I think I'm going to pick it up!
I was playing Juri on SSFIV for something like 10 hours, my arm feels like it's still doing quarter circle motions.
I'll play with you >>259
Look for ACommon some time.
I foolishly chose wiz though. You can't get any arena fights if you're wiz because almost everybody is wiz.
I just ran into a tanasinn mecha in Cosmic Break who awarded me 25 VIPcoins for acknowledging their fantastic custom skin but departed before I was able to take a screenshot. I hope that they post a screenshot on the image board!
>>264
I ended up restarting on DOS, because BRD is comprised entirely of morons. Part of the problem is that, as it appears some of the translation staff are from the 4th circle of hell, the game was pretty heavily promoted there. Some severely unVIP people are playing on BRD and WIZ. DOS appears to be mostly pretty cool dudes, however.
I'm sort of taking a break from the game so as to not burn myself out on it, like I did with other VIP QUALITY games like Blur and APB.
Currently playing Atelier Annie. I don't know why, but the general tone of the setting reminds me of the Marl Kingdom games. Also, every time Annie speaks, I can't help but imagine Kafuka speaking instead.
>>267
I don't have a DS, but I've played Maria and some of Elie, got stuck because I never got my library card. Wonder how the translation is going, my Nipspeak isn't quite good enough.
Try imagining Fuko instead(ML)
I can't stop playing with the Vocaloid function in MGS Peace Walker.
Cosmic Break is a lot of fun but if it becomes a cash shop nightmare like the Japanese version after the beta, then I won't be playing. The custom skin feature is really cool, though.
I really like playing contra (LEΦE`)

I once beat contra II, hard mode, one life.. I still suffer from PTSD ('A`)
(LEΦE`) Oh! and, I play Galaga too!
..anyone else play magic[theGathering]? ( L₯ิΦ₯ิ)
>>277
I used to play casually years ago around Scourge and Mirrodin. I stopped playing because everyone I knew wanted to play 3-8 player games with 100-200 card decks where it consisted of building little armies and nobody ever doing anything to anyone.
>>278
I still play Tempest, fortunately for me, I don't have enough friends to worry about an over populated game! Most of the time, I just play by myself. (LA`Bj
>>278
I used to play casually with friends, but stopped in the middle of Kamigawa.
Just got Dragon Quest IX in the mail today. Any game that let's you make a character with a big pink pompadour hairstyle has to have something going for it.
I'm playing Haven & Hearth atm, a build-everything yourself mmo featuring co-operation, ganking & lumberjacking: http://havenandhearth.com/portal
>Fragile Dreams - Farewell Ruins of the Moon
More like ";_; :The Game". Great game but so much predictable, shitty drama... that still gets to me.
>>246
Etrian Odyssey
About to start my first playthrough of Siren since I never bothered with it. Played New Translation and now I feel like playing the first two. So, terrible dub here I come YEAHHHHH.
>>284
WOAH
ARE YOU ME?
I noticed this, and only this, today on a shelf as well. I'm also curious.
I bought Valkyria Chronicles for about 1/4 the RRP today, I hope that it lives up to the hype I have heard!
In addition to this does anyone have any knowledge regarding the localisation of EO3?
>>286
Heh, I picked up the God of War I & II collection because I hadn't played it. Might get it in a week or two since the reviews sound interesting. Though what I really want is for Atelier Rorona to come out already.
>>287
That game is why I bought the PS3 in the first place. But then Inoue Marina is one of my favorite seiyuu, Itou Kanae is great too though. ACVp[AbvI

Pre-order Ships 9/21/2010
Monster Rancher DS is coming out on the 7th.
I have such a craving for raising monsters.
What's the best Dragon Quest game for the DS?
>>296
Dragon Quest IV, V and IX are really good. Can't go wrong with any of those. The translation at the start of IV is god awful, but it gets better as the game progresses. Rocket Slime is pretty fun, and Dragon Quest Monsters Joker is boring and grindy.
