Those same developers also had a habit of pissing John Carmack off because he wanted them to program engines a certain way. But the developers stuck to their guns - while the Saturn is a wonky piece of hardware, those devs actually understood it.

From reading the Masters of Doom book John Carmack seems like the kind of guy who would get pissed off if something wasn't done exactly the way he envisioned

He totally is, which is why he did so much of it himself.

I can't really imagine playing Quake with a controller so it's probably for the better

If you tried playing at like 1080p or 4k agreed, but if you played at software rendered 320x200, the way God intended, it would probably work well.

Still the only game I've ever refunded on Steam.

She's not your blood-related sister. The truth is much dumber. She used her psychic powers to alter your entire family's memories so you all believe she's the MC's sister.

EDIT: Oh and turns out what was creating issues to connect my Vita via USB was that I had registered it Via Lan with the PC previously so both were conflicting with each other. I erased the Vita from the lan connections in the MCA and voila!

Any recommendations for a case and screen protector for my Vita? I'll be traveling with it in a few months and will need to keep it safe in a crowded backpack.

Wouldn't mind saving a few bucks ordering from China.

I'm used to my 3ds rubber grip case that makes it more comfortable to hold (and less compact).

This is the best case I've ever found for any handheld, it's a little harder to get a hold of these days and won't fit the charge cable though if that's an issue for you.

Can't recommend a specific one, but if you're gonna put plastic on your screen, try to get matte. It's really nice to not have the screen reflect anymore.

Well it's not Unreal Tournament but Counter-Strike works pretty great on vita as long as you have someone hosting on android.

The games themselves run really well. A portable version of 2 of the best games in the series is no bad thing.

However, keep in mind that L2/R2 are mapped to the back touchpad. For some this is a non issue but for my oversized hands it was almost a dealbreaker until I got used to it.

If you can get over the rear touchpad then the game is a must buy.

It's also missing some features (the ape escape game, snake's dream, secret theatre, the skateboarding from 2 and MGO) but they're otherwise portable versions of some of the best games ever so if that sounds appealing to you go for it

To be clear these are not just left out of the Vita version, they're not in any versions of the HD collection.

MGS3 does include the 2 MSX games which are a cool bonus.

I just finished Metal Gear 2 for the first time and it's genuinely an excellent game. It really does feel like like if someone took MGS from 1998 and stuffed it into an 8-bit game. Several set pieces are blatantly recycled in MGS1 which is kinda funny to see. :krad: music too.

On another note, does anyone have any recommendations for vita games that have been PS+ games? I have this huge catalogue of them but don't really know what's worth a shot. I've played some of the more obvious stuff (Killzone, Uncharted) but wondering if there's any gems I've overlooked?

Same. Atlus doesn't even have an excuse, no one is asking for her to appear in story mode, who gives a poo poo.

We probably need to wait like 15 years when feminism becomes relevant in Japan and then another 5 for when they remake the dance games

I meant my post mostly as a joke; but there is a correlation between sexism and atlus consistently dropping the ball to have any female protagonists I mean

Ibram Gaunt

That is definitely true.

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

there is a correlation between those two things, but the onus is on atlus. furthermore, it's an issue complicated by the fact that a large portion of the persona fanbase is women who like the hot guys in it, including the male protagonists. they might see a female protagonist as unnecessary because they have a female fanbase that is mostly there for the men. obviously, a female protagonist might bring in more women besides thirsty nerds, but it's more complicated than 'atlus doing a sexism'

otoh their constant refusal to acknowledge the female p3p protagonist in any way whatsoever is weird. I don't even care about her not being in any of the spinoffs but she even skips out on random promotional art for the franchise.

I wish they all had a protagonist option just for making replays more interesting so you could pick the opposite gender and get different social links.

Yeah the femc thing is really weird because even if you go by atlus obsession with the canon routes... the dancing dlc s include characters that couldn't be in canon routes either, like Adachi or goro .

About the sexism thing, I do get that there's a lot going on; but even in that case above sexism can play into things. Girls who viciously attack female characters because they get in the way of the mens are part of that. So I don't even mean that atlus doesn't care about their female customers.

I mean, I don't think anyone's actually done that and I don't think any of that fanbase would care if there was a female protagonist.
