Hi, unless you have a 4K tv already lined up a regular PS4 slim is probably fine, and it is a good cool console. Enjoy your fun video games.

Speaking of fun video games I got drunk and bought shenzen i/o due to this thread and it is a lot of fun when you don't read the manual.

i wish i got to do cool embedded s*** for my job but its all terrible web applications and awful awful release processes as far as the eye can seeeeeee


unfortunately my grocery store did not have a suitably beige 3 ring binder to store my SHENZHEN LONGTENG TECHNICAL DOCUMENT ORGANIZER so the search continues, on that front

is it actually close at all to real assembly work? i haven't done any since college and while i have a ton of random microprocessors sitting around i just flash them with whatever instead of actually doing cool assembly coding stuff

Bear in mind it's last game in a trilogy. I'm pretty sure the other two games aren't on Steam yet.

it is the last game in the trilogy and spoils literally everything about the last two, while its own mystery is (imho) the most shallow and unsatisfying of the series. the voice acting is cool and the cutscenes are p good (bear in mind it's ported from handhelds and the first two games just had static visual novel style pictures) but if you haven't played the first two really don't spoil it and start with ZTD

i'm p sure 999 and VLR are slated for steam release anyway, right??

Rockman Reserve

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

an updated version of both 999 and vlr packaged as "the nonary games" has just been announced for steam q1 2017. if you have any interest in the series you owe it to yourself to play through in order

i am currently playing soul hackers and by that i mean i bought it ages ago and apparently got pretty far and now i'm trying to remember how everything works

other games currently in the same predicament: lost dimension, freedom wars


then there's the plot-heavy games where i remember how to play it's just like wtf is going on, like fe:birthright, and higurashi ch 3 (i remember pretty much everything from higurashi actually but due to the nature of the chapters it's kinda hard to remember what happened when/in which scenario)

basically i have enough games, and fluid enough taste, that i live my life in a perpetual haze of mild confusion

diamond/pearl were terrible awful slogs and i hate hate hated them oh my god


but then black/white came out and got good reviews and i tried it and it was wonderful, so i tried x/y which was also good and ended with a fight against a mysterious giant hobo in the middle of a parade, which was confusing since i didn't remember that being in the story previously but also awesome because what the actual hell was that lol

FF7 is available for iOS with an option to level everyone to 99 and turn off random battles if you want to just see the plot...


....but it's a good game to whip out and grind through a few battles while you're waiting in line or w/e so the level 99 thing is just a bonus

I wonder if the last guardian will be any good

because i am a terrible consumer prostitute i purchased a new New 3ds on black friday and a copy of pkmn moon for my wife to use with my old 3ds

hey Sid try 20XX, it's a procedurally generated Mega Man X style roguelite platformer and the devs update it so often and consistently on time that there's literally a countdown to the next update on the title screen

i want to say that i bought this and this game is loving good and it's currently 11 dollars on humble store / 10 dollars if you are a humble monthly subscriber but really it's worth the 15 if you like megaman and rogue-lites. get it get it get it!!!!!

also i'm p sure the devs have said that it's only going to go up in price as it comes to release, and indeed i think when i bought it it was like 11 dollars. they really have an air of professionalism that 99.99% early access game devs don't seem to have, which is weird for a literal mega man fan project

Is Mordheim good?

idk, it looked sweet in the last sale but i didn't get it because Don't Give GW Money. i think when it first came out there was a dearth of content or something too, not sure if that's fixed.

is it on sale again? i might give GW money if it is to try it :ohdear:

This rule is only explicitly for GW products, not licensed ones. The FFG GW products were actually good, for example.

everyone rebuys all of their games for the last 32 or so years every other console generation or so, and this shows no sign of stopping, so i think they "get" money

Actually I bought a Playstation instead of a N64 because I couldn't play snes games on it.

i got a playstation instead of an n64 because a dude working for minimum wage at toys r us spent like a solid half hour going through the pros and cons of each system and highlighting the best games for each after i showed up, money-in-hand for a 64, and answered "yes" to "do you have your heart set on a 64?"

it sounds like the absolute gooniest thing in retrospect but the guy was polite and professional and helpful as hell and to this day i'm glad that guy existed, because the psone was a hell of a system.

super paper mario was super paper disappointing

super paper mario was awesome and hilarious

paper Mario sticker star is legit one of the worst games ive ever played, ever. not like "oh wow you gotta play this bad game lol, it's awesome how terrible it is", just tremendously bland and boring and awful in literally every aspect

paper jam is okay sorta I guess? I should finish that

the combat in super paper mario basically didn't exist.

well, uh, it wasn't an RPG? i mean it's a really funny game with some cool ideas that (generally) don't overstay their welcome but the real reason to play it is the best final boss of any mario game ever

e: and it's way better than sticker star, where the combat itself was p fun but there were no experience points and every attack used resources so you literally were better off never fighting anything ever. it cannot be overstated how Bad sticker star is

super paper mario still has the best final boss fight of any mario game though

last year i literally could not buy a wii u that didn't come with mario kart 8 so i'm thinking a lot of people might pass on it, but what do i know. it's not like there's much else for the switch.

it's a shame because mk8 was really really good except for the lack of battle arenas but i kinda got it out of my system already, y'know?

I haven't played a Mario Kart game in years so I am really looking forward to it.

you're in for a treat then. the new tracks are awesome and the racing feels really mario-kart-y if that makes sense, i'm just salty on it because the original release was so totally phoned in outside of said tracks

Rockman Reserve

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

Meridian posted:

How do you mean, too similar to previous versions?

eh not like...too similar I guess, just the whole thing had this really artificial feeling sheen over everything that was kind of evocative of an ipad game in my mind. when you combine that kind of substanceless flash with the lazy, tacked-on battle mode (seriously why even include it without arenas? it was pretty much unplayable on most of the tracks) the game felt kind of heartless despite all the love that was put into the new tracks

that said the racing feels really really good, it's just that with the people i play games with most often we're competitive enough that the BS rubberbanding in mario kart is annoying after a few rounds and we'd all prefer to play battle anyway, so i'm really biased here
