Re: Sonic Forces & Sonic Mania

I liked the Adventure games, not perfect but were fun as hell. Other than those the only good Sonic games to come out since the Genesis (not counting All-Stars Racing) were Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations.

Re: Nintendo Switch

He's also ignoring the fact the system is the fastest selling in Nintendo's history and that two of the games released so far have shattered franchise sales records. Both BotW and MK8 Deluxe are the fastest selling entries in both series. Its ludicrous to think 3rd party company's haven't taken notice. Plenty of support has already been announced (some available) with more on the way. This is not the Wii-U 2.

Re: Nintendo Switch

^ This was on Reddit (can't find the thread right now) and several known developers confirmed that this data is pretty much spot on. Carts and Blurays cost more than $2.50 and $2.00 to make. Roughly 15% is licencing fees (lowest tiers) the rest is actual manufacturing costs.

Just look at games like Rime and Puyo Puyo Tetris for Switch vs the PS4 versions. The developers of Rime have publicly talked about how it is costing them almost $10 more a piece to release a game on Switch (using the higher memory cart, most modern titles will have to) than it does on PS4. Thus the price difference at retail. The difference is a lot more than fifty cents.

They did, while wearing the mask you see in his avatar. Dude is off his rocker lol. I don't even read his posts anymore. I feel like he wakes up to shit on Nintendo. I love the fact they are doing so well right now and it probably keeps him from sleeping at night. He tries to count sheep but they turn into Yoshi so he gets scared and wets his Sonic sheets.

Re: Persona ish games?

Here's a simple one... Persona. You listed 4 and 5 but failed to play arguably the best in the series, P2 Tsumi and Batsu. You're welcome, trust me.

P3 is also a gem, as is Soul Hackers.

I second this. After playing P4 (my first in the series) I went back and bought them all. Played Innocent Sin on PSP and the digital version (PS1) of Eternal Punishment. Hands down the best the series has to offer.

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts (Read OP Before Posting)

Ah OK. Yeah I've known about the DLC region lock since I started importing Vita titles. The DLC authenticates on the servers they originate from, so if your PSN account isn't a part of that network then its all she wrote because it reaches out to US servers. Plus the codes are only good for their respective networks. Sucks because on Vita you can only have the one account unlike PS3/PS4 so there's no way around it sadly.

Re: Gaming Deals

I've been meaning to buy a PS4 for Shenmue 3/Yakuza games (only have an Xbox One atm)

Apparently there's some sony e3 hype sale happening, is this bundle worth getting? (PS4 Slim with Tekken 7 Deluxe Edition) Was going to wait until Prime Day in August but this seems alright, I loved tekken during 5,6, and Tag 2 but I haven't got much interest in returning to 7, I might just sell it (it's valued £70 here) and use that dough to get games I want and have the price of the console cheaper in total.

http://www.game.co.uk/en/playstation-4-500gb-and-tekken-7-deluxe-edition-only-at-game-1330151/?merchname=catPSdaysofplay-_-header-_-ps4tekken7HW

Not really interested in getting a Pro version either tbh unless it becomes a situation where devs just gimp the OG PS4/Xbox versions (we are kinda seeing that a bit with tekken 7 right now, with insane loading times and input lag etc). I just hoping shenmue 3 and yakuza runs well enough (the latter I've heard runs better on a pro, especially with 0 and 6)

decisions decisions, ripping mah hair out... :-/

I wouldn't bother with the pro unless you really want to. It's having trouble delivering with several titles, and some don't even support it. Which is part of the reason they updated it with the "boost mode". Its not even able to run Dark Souls 3 at 60fps. So I would take the cheaperOG/slim model. Rock solid 30fps is far better than an inconsistent frame rate. Save the extra cash and use it towards games.

A few things I could have done without but eh, sometimes you take the good with the bad. Johansson played a good Major. They seemed to mix and match somethings but one thing they nailed was the world. That shit was spot on. The entire time you feel like you're watching a GitS movie.

Re: Coming back to old save files and you're clueless what t

This happens far too often to me. I get into a game, something new and shiny releases and I make the mistake of trying it out. 6 months down the road I'm starting a game over from scratch because I don't know what's going on anymore. When I was younger I never had this problem, it all started once I got money lol. Back in the day I only bought one or two games at a time so it wasn't as much of a problem.

Re: Switch or PSVR

That's a tough one.

Having tried all three major VR sets, and enjoyed them all, I'm personally still waiting for that killer app. I loved every second of Elite Dangerous but even that's not enough to make me take the plunge. I tried RE7 on my brothers PSVR and while it was definitely cool, I prefer to play it normally. Its not something I would use everyday as it takes actual effort and most of the time I just want to kick back and play. I think VR is in a good spot tech wise, just waiting on actual games. On the Sony front I feel there should have been some major announcements from them by now.

As an early supporter of the move and Vita, I'm skeptical af of PSVR. I don't think VR as a whole will fail no, but that doesn't mean Sony won't let the PSVR fail. If people don't buy it, they will do like they've done in the past. But people won't buy it if they don't show support. A lot of people are still waiting on that. They shut down a studio that made a VR game for them already and that isn't a good sign. I forgot who since its 4 AM right now.

The Switch on the other hand is going 90 miles an hour right now. Launched with good games and there for several I'm waiting on coming out over the next few months. Great piece of hardware with a ton of flexibility. First party support in full swing with several third party dev/publishers signed on. They're breaking sales records left and right so I honestly don't see this having a chance in hell at ending up like the Wii U.

So as you guessed it, my vote is the Switch. But that's not because I don't like PSVR. Besides the reasons I mentioned above, the price. Now is a great time to buy the Switch as that price isn't going anywhere. Its new and selling like crack so that price is going to stay put.

The PSVR on the other hand, has already been $300 (refurb) and $350 brand new more than once here in the US. The stand alone not the bundle. I fully expect a price drop by the holidays, if not then early next year for sure. So it might be best to wait it out and see how that goes.

Re: Switch or PSVR


Drive Club
Ace Combat 7
Gran Turismo Sport
Rez Infinite


Those will probably be some of the best. Reviews say Rez is awesome in VR. I bought the physical disc from iam8bit and keep meaning to try it out at my brothers. I think Ace Combat will be the shit in VR. I'm also excited for Project Cars 2.

By the end of the year I'll be deciding between a 4K TV or a VR headset. I don't watch TV but I love buying/watching blu rays. Its going to be a touch choice since I have a free 4K monitor coming from work soon I could watch them on but its only 34' I think.

The first platform that releases a true mech game like Armored Core or Mech Warrior will end up with my money. I kind of thought Sony would have locked FromSoft into doing something already.

Re: Xenoblade 2

Just like the previous two, the opening of the game is very easy. He said he's about 10 hours in. You only auto attack basic moves, you have to manually do your arts/magic for your MC. The further along you get, the more the difficulty ramps up. To the point to where if you don't stagger you will literally do 1 hp of damage to them. You will 100% not auto attack your way through any of these lol. Watching his game play, he's not using cancel arts or triggering any blade combos. He's just waiting for each cool down instead of doing what the game taught him.

JRPG's vary so much from title to title, and not everyone is going to like this game. But its almost universally praised. I'm 40-ish hours in and the story, characters and world are great. Not saying that everyone who plays it will like it, but I've watched his videos for awhile now. Ever since he was on Scottsquatch's flea market videos. Not for a second did I think he was going to like Xenoblade lol. Just based on the game he does like.

Not saying you two will like it, especially if you don't finish other RPG's, but you shouldn't base your judgment off his video. Watch some people who actually know what they are doing with the combat because the story and the world they've built are awesome.

Re: Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi

I'm going to take the controversial opinion of saying I liked it. :P Though I wish they had left codebreaker quest and Leia flying on the cutting room floor to improve the pacing. I would have liked to have had more Luke/Rey time in its place. I didn't like admiral Holdo. I think Admiral Ackbar should have been the one to sacrifice himself by ramming the ship instead of some frilly pink hair who could have saved a boat load of problems if she merely confided in Poe her plan.

I don't believe Snoke is truly dead. I think he's in the same league as Luke at least and projected himself to Kylo and the others in his thrown room while he was somewhere else to protect his frail body. He can clearly the the Force on others across wide distances so it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

EDIT: Sorry, just dropping spoiler tags in. - OL

I don't think Snoke is dead dead, but his body was physical. We saw it cut to pieces in the room lol. Lukes was just a vision that couldn't be touched. If anything he'll be a force specter or whatever you want to call it like Obi-Wan and Yoda. His death was very anti climatic if you ask me. The battle that followed was pretty cool though.

I can't wait for Abrams to come back and do episode 9. It really sucks in my opinion that he didn't do the whole trilogy. It would have been much better to have one cohesive vision throughout. But oh well.

But when it comes to personal attacks that's where the line should be firmly drawn. If you are that angry you need some help. This place used to the the wild fucking west at one point. I for one hope it never gets back to that. There are a few people I wouldn't mind seeing come back, but others need to stay in the void.
