I went for Heavensward to get MCH and it's fun, I really like it. I picked up Astrologian too, for some reason, but it turns out I really love healing so I leveled AST instead

I'll hop back into it when I've cleared off more games from my to-finish list.

I felt sorry for my cousin when her kids end up discovering Skylanders and wanted every toy. She just told me, just wait til you have kids and you'll know how it feels. Haha. That's cool you are doing more co op with your fiancee. I do that with my GF from time to time when we were both aren't. We are still hopeful to get a Wii U soon. God I really wanna play Wonderful 101, Super Mario World 3D, Splatoon (my GF really wants this game), Bayonetta 2. And of course Star Fox Zero.

I dont think it's a question of having a killer app it's a question of affordability and ease of use. Budget Cuts' demo alone is the most exciting launch game I have played since Mario 64.

Accordion Man posted:That's because the American version of Vanilla DMC3 made Normal difficulty Japanese Hard. That's just scratching the surface dude, and you don't have to tell me, I'm well aware of the differences. I've posted about it in this thread before. Not only are the difficulties bumped up a notch, but much more significant is changing the yellow orbs to golden orbs and giving you effectively infinite yellow orbs. That alone completely shifts the challenge of beating the hard bosses, no longer requiring you to do a perfect run through the entire level and boss in one life, dark souls style.

I got in, though I'm not sure how much I actually want it. There's no way it's gonna come even close to last year unless they literally give everyone in attendance a free early copy of Last Guardian or something.

Also you should try again because a bunch of people got their places in line reserved and then errored out and the site was likely still holding their seats.

But then there always is, and all the best stuff gets pushed out years or disappoints, because lol E3 curse It's cool that Nintendo uses E3 as it was originally intended, to list the games being released in the next 12 months and when they'll be available and everybody hates them for it. The only game from last year's direct that I can remember that isn't available yet that Metroid game.

Real hurthling! posted:Room scale is totally a gimmick Have you tried it? I'm not saying it's going to take off as is but we are in cathode ray TV era. Wait for smaller standalone headsets, inside out tracking, etc. Its not a gimmick, its pretty much a god damned holodeck. And I wasn't sold before I got the thing. I had my hopes but pretty much figured it would be like having a monitor on your head. But it's not, like I said it's as if you are really there, and that's despite the limited resolution. As far as non Wii sports games with substance, job simulator and tiltbrush took up 8 hours straight with my first day on the hardware and I had like 20 more to try and didn't get to because I was so absorbed.They're not AAA but there's substance there.

Kensuke Tanabe stands on the precipice of Nintendo headquarters. He has toiled for seven long years to bring his latest and greatest revelation to the world. Yet the masses below are confused, anxious, and worried, mistaking his idealism for insanity, and feverishly calling for his head. Despite the outcries, only Kensuke Tanabe will know that the masses will be silenced once he is finished. This August, everyone will know, and everyone will bear witness to the will of Kensuke Tanabe, producer at Nintendo.

E3 is pretty dumb in a lot of ways. Mostly the "this is a completely bullshit representation of this product but you should get hyped for it." I'm also dumb for buying some of that stuff each year  .Also wasn't there a huge freakout over the Metroid game from last years E3? Or was that Star Fox? As in, people got stupidly mad over the most inane thing.

Metroid got blasted for being a spin-off after five years without a mainline title and Star Fox was dumped on for being "not what people wanted" when all they wanted was Star Fox 64 2, but when they got it they still complained about how it was too samey. Joke's on them tho because Star Fox Zero is amazing

Gotcha. Also PS+ games look pretty neat. https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2016/05/31/nba-2k16-and-gone-home-join-playstation-plus-this-month/ NBA2k16 I hear is fun and the 2v2 stuff should be good. I also never tried Gone Home so guess I'll see what all the fuss was about and if it was really a non-game.

Oh also Her Story is in the latest Humble Bundle and it's really good and you should play it if you love puzzle games. It's probably one of my favorite games in a long time.

That's really my big beef with this stuff, we've been teased about the Oculus and so forth since 2012, and the field doesn't seem to reflect that at all. And that all says to me that nobody had any confidence in VR for PCs despite the years of hype.

She just told me, just wait til you have kids and you'll know how it feels. Haha. Yeah skylanders poo poo cause it isn't like we want to get *all* the figures or anything like that, we've got a local electronics thrift store that has a bunch of the fuckers for cheap and they're kinda easy to find cheap so we can pick up whichever ones we think would be neat to play as and leave it at that. Co-op games are fun, I like playing hyrule warriors & mario 3d world with her. I hope you are able to get a wii u soon. I saw that wonderful 101 was only $15 at walmart and that's weird cause even at gamestop it's like $25 I think and it didn't have a rollback tag or clearance tag so I think that might just be its normal price at the moment.

CrashCat posted:It's a pity that no studio/publisher overcame their cowardice and made a AAA title for the launch though, they would basically have a monopoly for a while. And they've had years to prepare one. That would be nice, but true AAA costs 20 mil+ to make. At 60 bucks a unit even if every single current VR owner bought one it wouldn't come close to breaking even. You need the install base, but even with the promise of that in PSVR any big publisher is getting kickbacks from sony to create a game for their platform (this I don't know for sure but I assume knowing how the industry tends to work). It's not so much a matter of confidence in the idea, more knowing that the install base is not there *yet*. There's no one game that could singlehandedly turn the HMDs that are out there into 50 million plus selling consoles, not even if nintendo made the next mainline pokemon exclusive on them.
