It's like watching the fall of Rome everytime a pre-order is announced. People went apeshit that Pro Members at gamestop were allowed in 1 hour early to purchase amiibos and it went so far as some people planning to sneak in with a fake gamestop pro member card.

it's like 15 dollars to sign up or some bullshit.

Where are the crazy rear end videos of people trampling each other like the Walmart Black Friday vids?!

The gently caress is this. What conspiracy did Darwin and Dickens participate in? Is this A Thing!?

I'm sure it's just something they made up. Of course extremely historically accurate video game series "Assassin's Creed" might be finally blowing the lid off this conspiracy :tinfoil:

The last we heard of SNK Playmore, they had been acquired by Chinese company Leyou Millenium. This left fans wondering what the future of the company's fighting game IPs held.

8 eyes. The only game my family ever returned when I was growing up.

I remember that one. Whenever you beat a boss, both of you would sit down for tea and I remember a skeleton butler would bring it out. That was probably the only good thing about it.

You wanna play an even worse game?

Try playing Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates. You can't tell the backgrounds from the foreground meaning you will die routinely because there is no logic or reason to what is a platform and whats not. Sometimes a background object is able to be stood on, sometimes the same object is really part of the background and is therefore unable to be stood on.

Now I have beaten the NES teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game and that was an enjoyable experience compared to that.

Would you say it's better or worse than Hook?

Also, what is it with a lot of NES games giving you an attack that's just outside your hitbox enough to be useless?

The guy who set out to explore his randomly generated world in Daggerfall wound up getting his guy stuck in terrain, he couldn't reload his save either either so that's something like over a decade of gametime down the drain.

It's really loving disturbing how people in the Wii-U are going "yeah I know the game Devil's Third is bad and looks like poo poo, but buy it anyway so you can play a bad game that looks like poo poo".

loving Star Fox is being released so that it can be immediately murdered by the new Fallout right out of the gate, but nope they're championing a loving awful game that's also being released on the PC.

Got to have SOMETHING to play on the Wii-U. I own one :smithicide:

The villain being an evil cyborg Confederate general riding a T-rex was the logical endpoint for the game's premise of "native americans and dinosaurs in space".

Seriously, how does one gently caress up this kind of premise!?
