There was that real rad-looking game that was using claymation at one of the E3 directs. Not a fighter though

I'm prepared to buy a tiny replica of a Voodoo2 card that plays a selection of mid-90s FPSes

As long as it makes a loud "CLICK" when it switches from your 2D card. That ruled.

Technically the "Sculptor's Cut" of said game, which was a Blockbuster rental exclusive.

exquisite tea: Apr 21, 2007; Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

Rare for a game to accurately predict its own Metacritic score in the title.

You can literally play as Santa, shove characters up your arse, and then fart them to death as a Claytality.

Reckon it's pretty low on the Virtual Console list :v:

I won a local store Blockbuster video game competition and could choose from Donkey Kong Country, Sonic 3, or Clayfighter Tournament Edition as a prize.

I chose Clayfighter because it was the exclusive one lol

GlyphGryph: Jun 23, 2013; Down came the glitches and burned us in ditches and we slept after eating our dead.

Getting Over It is very intentionally a B-game, isn't it? Or at least it's intentionally mimicking one, and the game it's based on, Sexy Hiking, very much is one.

Although I'm not 100% sure what a b-game even is.

I always remember Clayfighter 63 1/3 cause N64 gave it their lowest rating of all time (25%) and absolutely savaged it in the review

If you have it still its gotta be worth a bundle right?

Getting Over It is just an indie game, I don't quite get b-game feeling from it. But it is hard to nail down exactly what that means.

To me "b-movie" means its on a budget and cheese/schlock/camp (usually unintentional but not always).

I have never been good at keeping things that ended up being collectible :sigh:

In any case it looks like even the complete box+manual+game like new is only ebaying for 30-60... someone is trying to sell a graded version for 900usd lol

So I bought Banners of Ruin on the Switch because I saw a good bit of a sponsored stream of the Steam version and it looked cool and fun, but I really wish I had waited a bit more. The UI us horrible on console, especially handheld, and like most PC ports there was zero optimization for handheld. The text is loving microscopic, it freezes constantly and the drat splash screen still says Early Access. I'm glad it was only $16 but here's hoping for a patch soon.

What I have been able to play of it seems pretty fun.

God, even with Gentleman Saints Row 2 on PC is dire. I've been trying to finish off the Chop Shop and Hitman and the game just keeps crashing and removing my progress. I don't like these HD "remakes" but if you gave me a stable version of 2 I'd be overjoyed. 1 as well, as someone who never had a 360, Ace Combat 6, Dead Rising, and Saints Row 1 are my holy grails of games that I should play, but cannot justify buying a console for
