I did not have a lot of fun with Ico at all.  I didn't get sick or anything ( I don't get sick from video games) but the combat is piss poor, the game doesn't always do a great job of telling you where to go, and tugging around that chick gets old.  SotC is a million times better than Ico.

 
Oh yeah, forgot my update on every game I play that none of you probably care about:

Tomb Raider Anniversary was fun and challenging, but a good bit of the challenge came from me fumbling with the controls. The camera was a bit troublesome, but other than that something about the controls just felt off that I can't really pinpoint. Fun level design though. 6.5/10.

About 4 hours into Re: Chain of Memories. Liking it so far, card system is interesting. Can't wait to dig into it some more.

No because if/when he comes back we'll all have to break that habit again.

Yeah but when he comes back, he'll have a new name. Then on the leaderboards it will say his current name, and have to be changed to whatever his new name is. And then people will know anyway and Corgi will rat him out again.

Also like it was said before, unless he can change his ip I doubt he'll be back since the mods seem to be determined to shut that kind of thing down these days.
 
Any of you still following that trolltard in the Kickstarter thread? Here's a few choice quotes:

The definition of semantics:

"It's still a deal (two parties entering into a mutually beneficial arrangement). If we only want to allow discounts, it should be called the video game DISCOUNTS forum."

After being called a contrarian:

"By this logic, Jesus was a contrarian. So was Martin Luther King Jr. So was Ghandi. So, I'll take it."

And that's saying a lot since SotC is a pretty shitty game itself.
 
I lean to the side of gameplay, but definitely do appreciate when s game can deliver an intriguing story. But only when it's door through normal dialogue and/or cutscenes. If I have to read a bunch of journals or listen to recordings I'm probably going to miss out on some stuff.

Kinda like ish's sorry in TLOU. There were people hoping for DLC to get more into his background but I barely remembered him.

See, I didn't want to say anything about how I'm enjoying it because I've been conditioned by the internet to believe that it's the greatest thing ever, and I figured I'd get blasted for saying anything to the contrary. I like the atmosphere and visual setting. I haven't really seen any real puzzles yet, so I'm not sure about that part. The combat blows, though. I've been looking forward to playing this game for years, and I'm a little disappointed so far.

I was just going to come here and make a sarcastic comment about how some idiot posted this video in the GS thread and made the comment that PS4 "won". It's official guys, PS4 has better graphics than GameCube.

But does it have better graphics than 2 taped together!? :shock:

I don't know who has played Ground Zeroes, but I liked the direction they're taking the series with in terms of streamlining cutscenes.

I just started Peace Walker on the PSP Go so I know what's going on in GZ. I like how it actually feels condensed for the platform it launched on. At least so far. I'm only at the last mission of chapter 1. I'm guessing the streamlined cutscenes are due to MGS4. Man was that game not a lot of game. I enjoyed it nonetheless but I know I'm probably better off for having played 2,3,4, and Rising so close together...I actually know what's going on, as crazy as it is.

I also have started ICO a few times (on PS2) and just never really felt what all the hub-bub was about, of course I have it for the PS3 now (Thanks Plus) , maybe I'll just skip it. We'll see.

Seriously. What the fuck. fuck you Ubisoft.

Ubisoft is intentionally holding the PS4 version of AC Unity back so that both consoles can have "graphical parity" at 900p/30fps.

Black Flag was 1080p on PS4, so clearly they have no problem actually hitting 1080 on PS4 if they wanted to.

Man that's bullshit. I'm not a graphics whore or anything, but this is basically retarding the growth and development of this generation of consoles. I'm not generally a fan of impeding the development and evolution of anything that has positive influences on the world. Like technology. What else are Ubisoft going to hold back from other PS4 games because they can't make it work on the X1? Why should Sony be punished for putting out a superior console?

fuck you Ubisoft and fuck you MS.

I played ico when it came out and liked it a lot. Sotc I played years later and hated it. So it seriously matters when you play a game. Games aren't like other media. they rarely age well.

So basically...PS4 is the greatest console of all time and even better than PC?

Confirmed.
 
I am really old. I love the butter rum life savers. I got them at Publix for a dollar. They were the only lifesavers flavor on sale so I figure its because only old people like it. fuck it I don't care.

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. I think it honestly just depends on the game. I mean they keep re-mastering games all the time for a reason. A game like Bionic Commando re-armed although updated it was the original source material that made it so fuck ing awesome.

Go post this in the Xbone thread.

 
One of these days I need to replay SotC via the remastered version, the main reason I bought it because the framerate was often really shitty in the original PS2 version and the remastered version stays at 30 FPS for almost the entirety.

Next trip will include a purchase of Werther's Originals. That's when you know you've gone full gramps. I'm sure Chrunchewy will appreciate the company.

This may make some of you happy. Twin Peaks has been officially confirmed as making a comeback. It'll be on Showtime as a 9-episode limited series. Should come out in 2016.
Click to expand...
Very happy. I remember watching the series when I was in high school and then getting into the craze that followed it. (25 years ago? Shit.)

Just watching the clip of Laura saying "I'll see you in 25 years" brings up all sorts of creepy chills all over again.

 
I hate sounding like a graphics whiner, but to me it sets such a bad precedent.

Like, imagine if Monolith/WB couldn't get the Nemesis system running right on X1 like they can't on the last gen versions of the game?  They're just going to pull it out of the PS4 version?

Maybe not the best hypothetical.  But to me, not optimizing a machine to get everything you can out of it is pretty stupid.

Wait The Crew is racing? What's the ones with the dudes in the city fighting one another?

EDIT: The Division

Good names Ubi. -180p for the loss.

Yeah, The Crew and The Division are terrible names for games. And The Crew is going to not be good guaranteed, that's nice.

The Crew is a sequel to a game released back in 2008.

Well it's even more stupid because generally speaking it's seems as though it's always been make the best version and then dumb it down for inferior consoles, now instead we'll just get it automatically dumbed down for no real reason other than they don't want complaints? People will probably complain just about as much if not more over the loss of the P's.

As it stands I still don't get all the love for AC in general anyway. I know some of it is solid but that game still has problems lingering from the 1st game.
