cosmicjim posted:Nah. I told her what it was when she pulled it up. I'm debating on whether or not I should make her play it next or something else. Get her to play Monkey Island next, duh!  Also I finished Geist. It's not bad, but it is a hard 6/10. The general possession/impersonation stuff is fun, especially mid/late game when you see Raimi start getting creative with scaring people to make them possessable beyond mere jump scares, but the late-game combat suuucks. The Demon Bosses have far too much health in general, and at the endgame you start fighting other spirits. Those motherfuckers possess you and try to kill you by walking you off a cliff, into gunfire, etc. The only way to get them out is to mash A, and even that requires mashing the poo poo out of the button for a good 5-10 seconds to fill the meter and evict them from your body. It's worth a look, but you really gotta want to try it.

Schremp Howard posted:This topic has probably been beaten to death, but is there a reason no third party has been able to make component cables for the Gamecube? I play most of the games on my Wii which is hooked up via component, but I would love to get the Gameboy Player to look even better. The component video processor is part of the cable, which no-one's been able to replicate.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:It's definitely still emulation. A lot of the "enhancements" that were reported for some of the early PS2-on-PS4 games were due to inaccurate emulation that just happened to be beneficial to those particular games. The additional purchase cost is probably because they had to rebuild the emulated version for PS4 really. The cross-buy versions for PS1 and PSN games worked on PS3/PSP/Vita is because it was one standardized version across all three, so it's no big deal to just let people have'em.

Gio posted:Yeah I have someone offering me $40 for Ultima IV b/c the game likely doesn't play, but now I'm pretty positive he's trying to low ball me if what you guys are saying is true. If you have the full set of feelies and everything but the game working, price it to something reasonably high minus the cost of a basic/disc-only copy of the game. Those will still command high prices regardless of whether the actual game works.

HOOLY BOOLY posted:Beyond Good and Evil was made free for Xbox One and i haden't played it since it came out. Replaying it again, i forgot that there was a magical time where getting an Ubisoft game meant you were getting something cool and unique. Aspects of that time are still there in bits and pieces int the Ubisoft of nowadays but you don't get anything that just oozes charm and personality like BGaE does. They keep saying it exists, no really, we promise, even though Michael Ancel keeps getting pushed to other projects.

Lowen SoDium posted:Wii style"light guns" have never felt as good to me as a CRT scan based light gun. Wii-style are more like moving a mouse cursor and clicking rather than actually aiming and hitting a target. It works fine with how it's generally used (a big honking crosshair on screen), but it's not quite as satisfying as shooting a falling leaf or UFO before your friend does.

P.N.03's ending is goddamn magical . "So I'm a clone?" "Yup". "...Are you a clone?" "I dunno, maybe  ""Huh... I'm going home, peace out other Vanessa". It's also not that bad a game. The controls are clunky as poo poo, but they're at least functional and the boss fights are actually pretty good.

That said, there are some stupid designs and concepts in the new gameplay that people have been telling Blizzard about for months in the beta versions, and it's only now that they're starting to clean it up because now it's several million players saying it and not just the entire closed-testing Beta group.

Dear lord this thing has the least appealing graphics/graphical style. If you absolutely gotta have a less-ugly version of OoT, get the 3DS version. It's superior to the original in every way, save maybe unless you want to do framerate-dependent bug-exploiting speedruns or something.

Last Raven is also worth a look on PS2. At the very least seconding that Armored Core: Nexus is fantastic and well worth a play, just make sure you get a copy that has both discs in it because the second disc with an entire game's worth of "bonus" content is just tucked in a paper sleeve inside the case.
