It's been suggested that maybe Games should have a chat thread. I'm not sure if I agree with that but people should have the chance to express themselves and the worst thing that will probably happen is that this thread ends up getting gassed.

Talk about games, gaming, all that other stuff here. Hell, set up an improptu gaming sesh. Share some screenshots. Whatever.

:havlat: Don't talk about or post stupid poo poo that you know will get you banned or probated. You should know what that that is by now.:havlat:

I've been playing a bunch of Far Cry 4 and have revisited Megaman 4 on my 3ds.

I've been playing Tales of Xillia 2 and I've fallen in love with the most recent character to join my party because he's an undercover king in an MIB outfit who has never heard of a comb and has a sword that's in the same ballpark as Sephiroth's for length, he's pretty rad.

i didnt, it looks cool but i think i would just get frustrated with it. they should go on and make a new one off this though and update mechanics a bit, that would be v cool

farcry is good, i like the rotercopter thing and accidentally falling out of it. i dont have my 3ds anymore, i sold it for a vita because i really wanted a bunch of the vita games. going to eventually pick up a new 3ds though. have you played persona q on it?

i am currently playing a mix of farcry 4, gta 5, destiny, the new cod and persona 3 portable. p3p is good but it just makes me want to play p4g again.

The new Killing Floor is coming out for PC and I personally can't wait, despite the fact that it will be on early access first. Killing Floor is without a doubt my favorite co-op game.

I'm partial to Super Metroid because that's the one I've played the most but I also really enjoy Zero Mission and Fusion. I need to spend more time with the Prime series as a whole; I always end up going to the 2d games with romhacks (like the one for Super Metroid that fixes the wonky aiming and stuff) and I need to quit that and go through all the primes again.

I feel like I'm one of the few people who really did enjoy Metroid II as well; I found it to be way better than the first one even if young me was extremely frustrated by how much harder it was sometimes.

I've never actually played Metroid 2, but it wouldn't take much to be better than the first Metroid game, let's be fair.

My eyes are too slanty and my skin tone is a little bit too copperish also I don't have blonde hair. So I guess if I wore a wig or dyed my hair I could do anime samus or something weird like that.

Do most people not enjoy Metroid II? It's incredible as a minimalist horror take on the Metroid formula. All that open space and bizarre architecture seen through the tiny monochrome screen of the oldschool GameBoy is such a unique experience. And the evolved Metroids are terrifying the way they scream and lunge. Game owns.
