If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

Between this, The Ship, and Surgeon Simulator it would be really cool if devs just all agreed to spare the world from their cutting edge political satire unless it involves Bill Clinton playing basketball.

What's the political commentary with Surgeon Simulator

That report is likely not true because they wouldn't put a cellphone chip in something that's supposed to be able to handle ports from PS4 and Xbox One.

They said it's the same as the one of a freaking Shield somehow I don't see that happening.

For what it's worth, I have industry friends who say that they've heard similar rumors about the NX. It appears that there's at least some truth to the whole thing.

The NX is going to be some ARM/x86 hybrid monstrosity where the ARM is in the handheld part and the x86 is in the dock and my money already went to Nintendo because I'm dumb and buy everything they make.

Rangers are the only class that can take control of NPC squads after their leader dies, get a squad and they'll continue the song and mirror any shouts you make.

Nope

Any class can recruit dudes, just only the ranger can heal them with boxes.

They sing as long as you have control of them, either directly or if you recruited their leader

i'm buying nx for sure but after years of nintendo handheld ownership the question is before or after it gets its 2nd gen redesign to add the backlight, remove the ugly and bulk, make the core gimmick work correctly, and add second analog stick support

As someone who owns a 3DS/3DS XL/New 3DS XL the answer is obviously buy all the NXs

i'm glad to support legal emulation with my wallet wherever it exists but i've softened and become okay with the idea of some video games falling under the grey area of abandonware

it's not 100% legal, but some holding company owning copyright of a game from an extinct developer is not really in the actual spirit of copyright law which is to foster creation of the arts and sciences

i'm actually not sure if VC will even be on NX because it's entirely possible that Nintendo sees more money in releasing things like NES Mini separately

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I just finished Dragon Age Inquisition again and I forgot how much of a massive game it really is. You kinda have to set aside an entire month to chew through the entire thing if you want to be pointlessly thorough (the only way to play). Clocked in at 88 hours being pretty completionist with everything.

I tried out the Neverwinter mmo on PS4 because half my friends list was playing it and found it to be garbage. Just a heads up. Especially if you already play FF14, which is probably the best the genre has to offer, don't bother with Neverwinter.

i think of games like illusion of gaia where quintet no longer exists which means some IP farm has the rights and that does not serve the original purpose of copyright law because they're not creators or artists

OTOH if a developer still owns the rights to their 20 yo game and they say "we dont want people stealing it" then fine I'll respect that. but consider making it available for purchase! imagine konami was represented by a single person and I was staring at that person while I typed that out

Up to like 15 bucks is fine for older games, as long as the game is good

NOLF is the most frustrating one because none of the companies can prove that they're the one with the copyright and all they know is they wont allow a re-release. which helps no one and contributes nothing to art. just petty garbage
