This is an OutRage AN OUTRAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


...............that Skylanders are now crossing over with Amiibo and have some form of cross functioning features between the two.

Yes you gotta now drop big bucks to get a single Amiibo and a bunch of Skylanders who are not nintendo characters. How long until we see people selling their family members into slavery just to feed their plastic addiction?

Taint Reapers, i think you have the weirdest Amiibo fetish.

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.

goddamn japan, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS

AT LEAST KEEP IT ON THE FUCKIN VITA

Relax dude the Vita is still getting that game where you have to go around taking panty shots of girls and then you must sort through them to see which ones are not wearing panties. And the ones who are not wearing panties are actually killer space aliens because you'll see a giant eye between their legs instead. You must then eliminate the target while avoiding police. Because if you don't the alien will shed it's human skin and transform into some headcrab monster.


It's from the same people who made that vampire slayer game where you have to strip the clothes off of women to reveal the ones who are disguised as vampire and doing this will expose them to sunlight which will kill them.

So either that's a pricing error or the new world of warcraft super deluxe expansion edition is over 100 bucks.


As a collector of fine ultra huge game boxes this outrages and angers me.

Also it's literally just TBC again! They even have illidan on the box, they also stated that everything in TBC was just stdh.txt. You see you didn't kill any of those guys all those years ago they all came back to life in some form, yes lets call everything setbacks! Also they seem to be proudly announcing that you will have to grind for everything interesting mentioned in this game, it's a feature!


Blizzard just release Warcraft 4 already, stop killing the franchise with poo poo like this. Give me my orcs without all thise Vanilla Diablo 3 bullshit and fire that guy who made diablo 3 out of a cannon.

Really the most fun I had with Warcraft in recent memory was playing on a private server with GM commands active. Running through poo poo with friends, modifying the drops so nothing is rare, zero grinds and just steamrolling the game till we had no content left.

I spawned like 100 Time Lost Protodrakes for shits and giggles. It was basically Skyrim with friends which what the game should have evolved into instead of tiring bullcrap.

On the other hand I love the Diablo 3 changes and they've made the game way more fun. The new Horadric Cube where you can combine weapon powers is a good idea and adds a ton of fun to demon slaughtering.

The franchise is turning into a yearly Activision cashgrab and its extremely obvious with Legion. WoD sold like gangbusters to old farts that are nostalgic for orcs, and Legion will probably sell just as well to people who have a hard on for the old elf storylines. They don't even have to worry about people actually playing the game and paying subs if they can sell enough expansions.

Next year I'm sure they'll be rehashing a new Lich King expansion.

Draenor was the second TBC themed expansion, legion is the third.

they're appealing to the same people. I just hope it blows up in their face like vanilla diablo or Starcraft HOTS because only then do they make good games.

And yet Dalaran and Vurkill are in Legion too, so they are trying to grab LK stuff as well.

It sounds like it's going to be a clusterfuck of awful.

Are they at least leaving WOTLK Dalaran alone? Because I always liked flying around the wotlk areas and Crystalsong/Dalaran was always one of my favorites.

People talking about the declining playerbase of wow as if it's some kind of fall of Rome comeuppance is stupid to me. They made a bazillion dollars and then found out it's not actually possible to make people play the same game forever. Ok.

No it's just that after wow stagnates there's like nothing new on the MMO horizon.

there's nothing pushing the genre in a direction that spurs innovation or new franchises.


That and they might finally make warcraft 4 once Wow fully stagnates.

loving Super Mario 64, I do not own a legal copy of that anywhere, I feel I must rectify this tomorrow and purchase a physical copy for my Nintendo 64, especially since I have an empty plastic n64 case with the Super Mario 64 cover anyways.

So that windows 10 piracy feature that you can't disable seems to be throwing tantrums if you try launching a game using DOSBOX or whatever.

Emulators seem to be an issue with the OS as well since the anti-piracy features gently caress those up big time.

The system apparently views most of these programs as illegal and will outright refuse to run them. There is however a fix to this but you need to pretty much hack windows 10 to pieces and remove the anti-piracy software that embedded in the system itself.

Suffice to say we will not be using windows 10 for the annual OLD AS poo poo MMORPG GOD MODE private server run, because most of the workarounds to get the server to behave like a live one requires stuff that sets off too many red lights.

seriously you can't make Pachinko fun or enjoyable in a videogame.

it's like making a slot machine simulator. Most Modern P-Machines have some sort of digital interface already to begin with, so a vdieogame doesn't really bring much to it.


Pinball is the only sort of thing that translated well into videogames as did card games.
