Yeah there was that last anime fighting game with a really hilariously ridiculous name... what was it... ah here it is... Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax

Wait are any of the Dragonball/Naruto games any good? I heard Xenoverse is ok... but the Naruto games on steam seem to have gotten a rather mixed reception.

Though I see what you mean in that the Dragonballs and Narutos and One Pieces can get medium budget 3D fighting games and Dynasty Warriors clones made whereas these other anime fighters are basically MUGEN ports with anime fanart drawn by flash artists and appear to have a combined budget lower than Skullgirls.

I haven't actually played the shonen fighters myself but like you said they have a bigger budget and they generally seem to have been received well afaik.

Note that the weeaboo fighters often have ridiculously high prices (I think last time I checked out the Japanese PSN store some of them were upwards to 8,000 yen, lmao).

playing doom 2 after 5 or more years without playing and it is really loving good, makes me wish borderlands 2 wouldn't have npcs or an open world, just a menu with dungeons, and preferably the option of increasing or decreasing the levels of enemies of said dungeons, just like disgaea, now that would be a loving perfect game. No car sessions, no dialog no story no nothing, just dungeons and loot.

One summer night, two boys were in their tree fort where girls aren't allowed, playing video games. Suddenly an announcement came on the radio: "A feminist has wandered out of its burrow and is headed towards boyzones. This particular harpy is called Girl Gamer, because after what is believed to be a credit rating downgrade, it has ceased to take an interest in shopping for shoes while listening to Cyndi Lauper's hit single Girls Just Want To Have Fun. Enlightened ladder theorists warn that this shrew will attempt to friendzone you, and worse, talk about how video games supposedly aren't perfect in every way." One of the boys got scared, because he was a liberal, but the bigger boy had a gun so he was able to calm down the one that was fey. They ended up playing video games in their tree fort all night. But when morning came, and they opened the door to their man sanctum, they found a gruesome surprise. At the bottom of the ladder, there was a Ms. Pacman cartridge.

i really feel like Ubisoft doesn't really get a fair shake, their AAA games can be huge steaming piles, but off the beaten path is stuff like Rayman, Child of Light, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, Trackmania, and Blood Dragon. They just get lumped in with EA and Acti because of Uplay, which is terrible, but easily circumvented.
No, they get lumped in with EA and Activision because Ubisoft is in active competition with them.

No really I'm looking for a game enchancer for PS3 and Xbox 360 games so I can access dead/unfinished content. I recently did similar stuff for MH3 Tri and got the online mode working again over LAN.

I like Dirt Rally. I think it's a fun game with good tracks, it's super hard if you pick the wrong right car like the RWD cars but there's really easy cars out there, too. I like trying to get that one good run on a track and there's something very satisfying about having tried again and again and finally go through a stage without doing major errors. I think it's similar to Trackmania in that way, especially since the tracks I like the most in Trackmania take 1-2 minutes and the shorter stages in Dirt Rally are that long.

I also think Trackmania and Dirt Rally better encompass that feeling of accomplishment for having worked hard to get through a stage better than Dark Souls does.


Dark Souls - it's the Trackmania of action games.

edit: Don't forget that Trackmania has a way better stage select function than Dark Souls does.

trackmania is seriously good and it's one of my faves, but it (United Forever, not the new ones) has a lot of trouble working with Nvidia Optimus drivers and it looks like steaming dog poo poo because it thinks I have only like 9MB of vram :sigh:

yes.

it's not an uncommon problem and no conclusive solution has been found yet. Somewhere in that thread I said that I managed to find my old config files from my previous computer (a hunk of garbage Toshiba Satellite with an Intel HD4000 GPU). The game looked great on that considering I couldn't even run GZDoom on it.

Restoring those files to this computer makes it look nice, but it resets to pukemode after fiddling with anything. Someone I know suspects it's the game's launcher, as bypassing it doesn't seem to revert the graphics. Never really experimented with that a lot though.

I'll live. It runs a lot of games fine on max/high settings, though it's really only good for :airquote:last gen:airquote: gaming, which is okay for me really. I think the hottest thing I threw at it so far was AC brotherhood and it took it like a champ.

If I really need to play track mania without it looking like a runny dog turd I can just use my gf's desktop.

Trackmania is really good. I liked the gamemode where you had to build a track with limited assets while being given where start, finish and checkpoints are and then drive it in a set amount of time. It's the only puzzle racing game I know.

I bought one of the trackmania games on Steam a few years ago after years of goons gushing over it, and it didn't really play like a driving game at all and didn't have good controller support and controlled with the arrow keys so I played it a little then never played it again

that's my trackmania story, I hope they made that stuff better
