DL Con 5: LET'S PLAY SOME GORRAM GAMES!!!

[Xeroma]

OK I'm not going this year, so even though I still have FE10 I can't really give it back yet :/

[OblivionKnight]

;_;  Alright, not an issue - I think we have enough from other people to loan it out.

Also, someone bringing Cettlers of Satan?  I must show off my awesome sheep-hoarding skills.

[Archmage]

I don't know how many tabletop roleplayers we have floating around the DL, but Laggy seemed to think there'd be interest in playing some sort of short con-style one-shot D&D adventure, probably 3.5e. If so, I'd like to know at least a bit in advance so I can prepare some sort of adventure notes and have an idea of just how many people would want to do that sort of thing. Obviously if any of them are people who are also staying at Laggy's then there's a bit more time to get through an adventure if one sitting doesn't cut it. So as not to clutter this thread, interested parties should probably contact me directly, I'm usually lurking in #rpgdl these days or I'm on AIM as Archmage144.

I can also bring a copy of Betrayal at the House (with all pieces intact) and have some self-constructed Yomi decks.

[Dark Holy Elf]

I'd be totally up for that if it's 4e; I'll pass otherwise, though.

[Luther Lansfeld]

I'd be totally up for that if it's 4e; I'll pass otherwise, though.

[Carthrat]

Systemists!

I'd play regardless of system.

[VySaika]

Systemists!

I'd play regardless of system.

This. I'd need to be taught 4e but eh, I learn fast.

[DjinnAndTonic]

I want to play YOMI!!!1one

[AndrewRogue]

I'd be willing to play or run 4th.

Might be willing to play 3.X.

[Hunter Sopko]

So is this the new nefarious plan of we board gamers? Now that the casuals have invaded our territory, we slink off further into the shadows with D&D?

[DjinnAndTonic]

It's that time again, when Djinn has to do all his game-shopping in a few short weeks.

So I'm putting what I can remember off the top of my head of the list here in hopes that others will add some quality suggestions.

PS2:
Atelier Iris 2
Mana Khemia 2
Sakura Taisen 5
Chaos Wars

DS:
Wizard of Oz
FFTA2
Knights in the Nightmare
SMT Devil Survivor
SMT Strange Journey
Atelier Annie (maybe.. was this game any good?)
Dragon Quest 5
Pokemon Platinum or SoulSilver
KH 358/2 Days
PW4
PW5

PSP:
Disgaea Visual Novel
Ys 7
Yggdra Union
Hexyz Force (finishing up the Sting Trifecta)
Persona 3 Portable (I guess)

360:
Nier
Dragon Age (I don't know what system this is for)

PS3:
Valkyria Chronicles
Disgaea 3
Last Rebellion (not sure about this one)
Cross Edge
Trinity Universe
Resonance of Fate (not sure about this one)

Wii:
Arc Rise Fantasia (maybe)
ToS2 (Though I'd prefer to just borrow this one)

I feel like I'm missing a lot...

[Cmdr_King]

How long will you be in the states?  Birth by Sleep miiiiight be out by then.  On the other hand, if it's only a couple weeks, you may not be here for Valkyria 2 (it's not until the last week of August)  Otherwise...

The DS Atelier game is Atelier Annie.
If you're getting DQV, you may also be interested in DQIX.
Lufia 2 remake is not out over here yet, that I know of.
The Disgaea visual novel is out on PSP, if that's something you'd be interested in.
I believe Nier is a PS3 game.  *research* ah, dual system release.  So either way.
Dragon Age is PC/360/PS3, so whatever floats your boat there.  The first expansion is also out.
I don't think Tal really liked Last Rebellion?  He's the only resident player I know of.
He and Tide, however, did like resonance of fate.
ToS2 is really good!  Feel free to buy.

On the rarity scale... AI2, Knights in the Nightmare, and ToS2 are games I haven't seen in stores in a while.  The rest are recent or unpopular-but-well-printed enough to be in stock, at least for me locally.
Additionally... Mana Khemia, Sakura Wars, Oz, Strange Journey, Hexyz Force, P3p, Arc Rise fantasia and the PS3 crossover games will probably have be be picked up new.

Otherwise, they only game I've played in the past year that you don't have listed there is non-RPG stuff.  That said, Edgeworth is a worthy buy.

[DjinnAndTonic]

I find myself very uninterested in DQ9, and only barely interested in DQ5.

I would scratch Last Rebellion off my list but I hear it's a NIS-developed game?

Disgaea Visual Novel and new Phoenix Wright games need to be added to the list. Oh, and I guess I'll get the new KH DS game even if BbS isn't Englishified yet. No VC2 makes me kind of sad.

[Hunter Sopko]

VC2 is the 31st of August. BbS is the 7th of September.

[AndrewRogue]

Dragon Age is for PC. That is the only correct answer.

[Cmdr_King]

The only correct answer if the question is "how to make Djinn not play it" at least~

[Grefter]

It really is far and above the best way to play the game, as someone that likes it I can't reccomend it for other systems and that isn't be being the PC dude that I am.  I haven't heard of anyone playing it on Console that realy enjoyed wrestling with it.  It is kind of endemic enough that Bioware announced that the console and PC versions of the sequel are going to have completely different combat systems.

[DjinnAndTonic]

Yeah, my PC is crap, so playing a modern game like Dragon Age on it is basically out of the question. It's gotta be 360 or PS3.

[Archmage]

So who actually has Pokémon D/P/P and plans to bring it and a DS for potential battles?

[Hunter Sopko]

Oh yes. Anyone have poker chips and a deck of cards? If not, I can go out and get them.

[QuietRain]

I have cards and a few poker chips.  Not a big set of them, though.

[Hunter Sopko]

I'll pick up a cheap set of chips then.

[Talaysen]

Atelier Annie (maybe.. was this game any good?)

It's pretty fun, but it's not like the other Atelier games that came over here.  It's more a mix of an RPG and something like... Harvest Moon perhaps?  Atelier Iris 3 is the closest one we got here.

Nier

Just gonna point out that the PS3 version of Nier is the same here, as far as I know.

Last Rebellion (not sure about this one)

Don't bother.  Last Rebellion is an incredibly mediocre and short game.  It's not worth the money, and arguably not even worth the time.  While I wouldn't necessarily call it bad, it's just... bland.

Also regarding Resonance of Fate: I find it okay so far but nothing great.  So CK is kind of wrong there!

---

On that note, any games people want me to bring or anything?  I assume all systems will be available there?  Might bring Nier and Trinity Universe then.  Unless anyone is interested in seeing Arc Rise Fantasia in action too?  I haven't got far in that so it'll be early game stuff... actually can Wii saves even be transferred?

I could bring Last Rebellion too if Djinn wants to see it in action before deciding to buy it or not.

[Luther Lansfeld]

I'm bringing Suikoden II for Tai to borrow. Just noting this so I will remember it. Also bringing someone a Suikoden save file for transfer, I forget which.

[Taishyr]

Ciato: Bringing me it. >_>
