I am on a Zelda kick right now. I have been playing Wind Waker on my Wii U but got a little burnt out trying to get everything in the game. So I switched over to playing A Link Between Worlds on the 3ds. It reminds me a lot of the SNES Zelda that was really fun.

Christoff posted:I think it's funny they're re-re-re-releasing FF7 on PS4. But it's the steam version released in like 2012. And they made a big fuss about it lol The trailer showed SD video in a smaller window than full screen. I kept waiting for the cropping to go away and them show FF7 was somehow remastered or whatever. Instead, they try to hype up a port of a port of an 18 year old game. Also the PC port was lovely because the music was all low quality midis.

Is that a real genre of games? Like super young cartoon girls in weird sexually suggestive situations? I must live in a cave or something because I've been playing games since the 80s and didn't know that poo poo was real.

I say we play generals so half of us can be terrorists and the other half can be freedom-loving patriots or communist serfs Suicide bombers in terrorists were the poo poo. That game was so much fun. Too bad I can't play it on a mac. My PC cooling fans are all hosed up and clicking because my god drat cat sheds so much hair the inside of the case looks like a giant furball.

The only PC spaceship games I remember really playing were the X series. I still have X3 Albion Prelude but it's a pain in the rear end and not really that much fun starting out.

ded posted:Obliv quality graphics you say? So the wiiu is stepped up to an xbox360 quality? Wow.  if you've bought a Nintendo console for the graphics. The Wii U is about as strong as a 360 with more memory available to do poo poo like suspend games and open the store at the same time. However, there are a lot of really fun games that Nintendo makes and I play mine more than my PS4.

Spicy Guacamole posted:You know, goons are some whiny bitches, but you gotta admit: it would be pretty rad if somebody made a game that was essentially Silent Hunter III in Space. Silent Hunter is the poo poo. There is nothing like the feeling of dread when depth charges explode all around you as you listen to the metal creaking from the emergency dive and change in pressure. Also, I really enjoy surfacing and slowly destroying merchant vessels with the deck gun.

I haven't booted up my pc in a week because one of the cooling fans is clicking like it is trying to work but can't. I imagine it wouldn't be too expensive to purchase replacements and install them but I mostly post from my macbook and I have been playing console games lately.

Lazy Reservist posted:It's a space trucking game where you blow up other space truckers and sell the poo poo they were trucking for money and buy a better ship so you can blow up more space truckers. Ok sounds good enough. Hopefully the stars look less terrible than they did in X3. I am downloading this now so we will see how things go. edit- Do we get radio stations with lovely euro techno music like Euro Truck Simulator 2?

Looks good. I have downloaded the single player tutorials and am working on the full game right now. Too bad I can't play through the single player stuff while downloading the actual game. Also, I have no idea how you guys are playing with game pads. I tried a dogfight and immediately went to the garage to dig out my flight stick. I don't have my X45 anymore so the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro will have to do for now.

I passed all the combat tutorials but explode my ship trying to dock it. I think I am going to have to bind the vertical thrust keys to something.

This Elite game is hard. So far I've managed to: 1) Undock 2) Attempt to fly to new system, instead fly into sun and explode 3) Undock 4) Fly to new system and request permission to dock 5) Have docking permission denied, accidentally fire weapons when trying to figure out how to call contacts 6) Explode when station shoots me I am like 10k in debt or something now and still have no idea what's going on. I am going to go look for tutorials and poo poo.

Why is it that the large stations are easy as hell to dock in but the small ones never want to recognize my ship is landed on the correct landing pad? I have stopped playing twice now because I can't dock.

I kinda regret dropping the money on it. You should show me how the gently caress I am supposed to be flying poo poo in X-Plane.

Helldump Immunity. posted:We should get a DCS A-10 squadron going I don't have a HOTAS anymore. My Saitek X45 died years ago and I've simply been loving around with a Logitech 3d Extreme or whatever it's called. If I can play with something that cheap and someone can show me what the gently caress I am supposed to be doing I would be down for whatever. I know how to fly WWII poo poo and civilian planes but I've never done modern military jets before.

holocaust bloopers posted:The A-10 is stupidly easy to fly. Matter of fact, modern combat aircraft are generally very simple to fly. Managing the systems while blowing poo poo up is the difficult part. That being said, the A-10 systems are pretty easy to learn. Something like launching a Maverick involves finding a target, designating it as a target, slave the weapon to the target, blow it the gently caress up. That's about as complex as it gets. There is a wealth of youtube tutorials showing practically every phase of flight. Learning a sim is about the time and effort you put into it. I don't mind spending time to learn aircraft but I am not interested in spending 45+ minutes on preflight checklists like I see on all the DCS youtube videos. I played the hell out of the IL2 games and learned a lot about flying prop planes doing it. I bought Falcon 4.0 back when it was released but never really got into modern stuff because I didn't know anyone else who liked jets. I can't learn everything at once and I've been spending a lot of time on civilian aircraft on X-Plane. If other GIPPERS want to do the A-10 thing on DCS, I will commit to learning whatever I need to but I don't want to spend the time and money doing it if others aren't going to follow through.

I bought the A10C for DCS World. This thing has a 671 page manual!  Thankfully the tutorials seem fairly in depth so far. I am going to spend some messing around with it while I try to convince myself that I don't really need an expensive HOTAS.

To be fair, not being able to access online poo poo on your PS4 kind of sucks. We set aside time for my son to play video games with his cousin across the country and haven't been able to do it. It's not the end of the world but it is an inconvenience.
