I was hopeful for The Good Life until the dog version was announced. It's like Swery pulled a lever labeled "Feature Bloat" and sent it into oblivion.

thinking about ridge racer type 4 lately, about once a year I have this feeling that it might be the best racing game ever made and start playing it again. I don't know whether that's true or not but the R4 intro FMV is still incredibly sick to this day

That sounds fair, but it won't take long for people to start making veiled threats about the amount of donations for having the audacity to not include a game in the lineup. "I hope those cancer patients are okay with you cutting Super Metroid." e: It looks like the charity is the Prevent Cancer Foundation, so only new cases of cancer can be blamed on GDQ.

It probably will have a pretty big impact as that usually got a buttload of donations, unless they have something similar lined up?

Grouchio posted:The end of the first act of Danganronpa V3 was the most brutal, soul-rendering thing I have witnessed in video games period. You ain't seen nothing yet. The theme of the game seems to be "one up the first two as much as possible until you're numb as poo poo." chumbler posted:Is there like some actual difference in the game or is this just collectors being weird? The gold cart "not for resale" is a retail copy but doesn't have the holofoil logo so that's collector's being weird. The grey cart is a demo/beta copy with access to most areas and all items so it's a unique version only some stores got.

I think the last ones I saw were for the PS3. I just know that they were always broken and that clerks at wherever they were would always complain about it. I know Nintendo these days just have, like, a TV playing a bunch of trailers near their stuff in some stores.

There's one playing Destiny in a mall in my city. I think there might be another xbone one in another game store too. I think they're declining in the same way that gaming retail is generally declining, though, as more and more people just shop online instead.

I just realized how soon Etrian Odyssey V comes out and that was a real fun thing to discover. I'm so ready to draw more maps and punch more monsters.

Remember the huge Halo 2 launch festival thing that happened where they had military vehicles and poo poo celebrating the release of the game? Or maybe it was for Halo 3, can't remember. Regardless, it was funny because G4 was covering it and making it into this big thing and Microsoft I guess dropped a lot of money to make it as big of a spectacle as they could for a release thing. I don't think that kinda thing really happens much anymore, though. Like, there'll be releases with lots of people waiting outside of the store to get the game, but nothing on the level of getting tv footage and interviews and paying for a tiny parade of sorts.

I played a Switch for the first time ever when I visited Best Buy on Monday. I appreciated it because I learned the controller that comes with the co sole feels very tiny in my big, man hands.

FirstAidKite posted:Remember the huge Halo 2 launch festival thing that happened where they had military vehicles and poo poo celebrating the release of the game? They did them for all the Halo games, and they just kept getting bigger and crazier. I ended up going to most of the NYC ones because at the time I was really involved with the Bungie fandom. The Halo 2 event was held at the big Toys'r'Us in Times Square (rip) and while they didn't have any military vehicles yet they did run trailers on the billboards and a guerrilla marketing guy gave me a free Plantronics Xbox Live headset on condition that I also wear a Plantronics hat. The Halo 3 event was held at the Best Buy near Bryant Park, and there they actually did have someone build a real-life Mongoose and drive it down 5th Avenue. I was too far back in the line to get a good look, but I heard the announcer get real excited about it. That was also where I first tried Mountain Dew Gamer Fuel and holy poo poo that stuff is disgusting. The Halo Reach event was in a theater in Times Square. Kid Cudi was supposed to perform but he never showed up. I always thought he had scored an early copy of the game and bailed on us all to play it, then felt bad about thinking this a few years later when he revealed his history with depression. And yeah, no one really does this any more. Way cheaper to mail boxes to a few dozen top streamers than to throw a big party somewhere.
