man you'd think a company from sweden would be progressive enough not to side with the jackboots of the alt-right gamergate movement

[thisismyusername]

Fire Emblem: Heroes is pretty solid, IMO. It's like one of the rare F2P mobile games that doesn't try to shove it's cash shop microtransactions down your throat.

Rollercoaster Tycoon Classic (RCT 1+2) is also pretty solid for $5, with a few touch-screen issues. The game is still pretty enticing 20 years later. It's insane that it was made in Assembly and ported to like 3-4 platforms.

So that was their BIG ANNOUNCEMENT they were advertising in their Steam group (I really should remove myself from that at this point)... kinda... 

[toku]

Imagine releasing a Collector's Edition without a physical copy of the game in it. What is this, the PC gaming market?

[demi]

Already been done:

[Joe Molotov]

Yeah, Unraveled did it too. Still not for it. I was gonna buy Sonic Mania CE until I saw it only had a voucher.

[Great Rumbler]

[a slime appears]

I'll buy it when it comes to Switch.

[eleuin]

I hope they keep the central location aspect, the bar was so cool

The first one

[Rufus]

So, about Bethesda's creation club... This is about the implementation, not a rant against paid mods.



From the comments:

DahvPlays2 days ago (edited)
Not only are the files downloaded regardless of if you bought or not, you can access the files freely. For example, you can extract things to 3rd party programs like NifSkope etc. You can pretty much do whatever you want with it. I don't condone piracy, but Gods above if Bethesda isn't making it easy. Anyone with basic computer skills would have realized this. Bethesda has made themselves look underpants-on-head level stupid.

[MMaRsu]

why

Haha wtf how?

[Rufus]

why

I tried to play the original not too recently because I remembered it from a demo disc. That game is hot garbage.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

If I've never played a Yakuza before am I better off getting 0 or the new remake that just came out?

[archie4208]

0 as it's a prequel to Kiwami

[tiesto]

So Kiwami is a remake of 1 right? I own 2 and 3 but haven't gotten into the Yak series yet. Seems like something I'd be really into though!

[Positive Touch]

yup kiwami is a remake of 1 with a few changes and additions. great game plz buy. it's like shenmue 1 if shenmue didn't have constant downtime and only 5 or 6 fights.

The track itself only updating at 30fps in Super Circuit explains what I always assumed was related to the GBA not actually having a "Mode 7" but just using its weird overpoweredness to fake it.

I guess that's still possibility the case. Once posted some hott GBA tech using racers but this is a good occasion for some sweet garbage which does nothing to answer that question which I could probably find on Beyond3D or something but is still glorious in a why does this exist way:

Since I decided to keep my Wii U, I want to finish up my game collection.  Some stuff is getting harder to find (either new or in good shape).  Ordered a few games and my library is currently:

New Super Mario Bros. U + Luigi U
Super Mario 3D World
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker
Super Mario Maker
Mario Kart 8
Splatoon
Zelda Twilight Princess HD
Zelda Wind Waker HD
Hyrule Warriors
Super Smash Bros. For Wii U
NEX Remix Pack
The Wonderful 101
Bayonetta 1 (w/ Bayo 1)
Devil's Turd
Xenoblade Chronicles
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE
Tekken Tag Tournament  2
Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge
Call Of Duty Black Ops II
Yoshi's Woolly World
Mario Tennis Ultra Smash
Game & Wario

I have Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze coming since you guys all recommended it and also ordered Sonic Racing Transformed.  Anything else of note I should get?  I'm not big on Pikmin but might pick up 3 for the hell of it.

The biggest "problem" I'm running into now is finding non-Nintendo Selects versions of some games and also finding games complete and in good shape.  Amazon is starting to run out of certain titles and when I hit the local Gamestop last weekend, they barely had anything left.

Kirby Rainbow Curse (this game really needs to be re-tooled on switch)
Paper Mario Cum Splash
Star Fox Zero (game is dogshit but its super cheap these days; includes Star Fox Guard)

Do you play Kirby entirely on the gamepad?

[demi]

No, you use the TV and the Gamepad, but the problem is you have to use the touchscreen to control Kirby and that means your focus is there.

Code Vein gameplay



 

I like the anime Darksiders aesthetic but the combat lacks the weight and impact I was looking for.  I'm still interested but my hype had dropped off a bit. 

[Joe Molotov]

Have you guys seen this Dean Takahashi Cuphead "gameplay" video? It's kinda old, but I just saw it last night and holy crap. It makes Polygon's Doom video look like a AGDQ Sizzle Reel. It's like he started the recording, went to the bathroom, and then his cat jumped on the desk and started batting the controller around. His defense is that the game is just really tough you guys, but come on. There's tough games and then there's "oh no baby, what is you doing?"

[Joe Molotov]

BTW, he changed the name of the video, it was originally "Cuphead Gamescom Demo: Not that Easy".

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Side note: Man, everything that's not a boss battle in Cuphead looks bland as fuck.

[Trent Dole]

[Joe Molotov]

That was actually how I found out about it.

how can you be a professional game writer when you suck  that bad at playing games

mfw they say the PS4 has no games

[Mr Gilhaney]

[nachobro]

  that's pretty clever

From the article:

During the process, South Park stalwart Eric Cartman will comment: "Don't worry, this doesn't affect combat. Just every other aspect of your whole life."

They were told the difficulty of the game affects the amount of money you receive and the way other characters speak to you throughout the course of the game.

 

It turns out, if you pick a non-male character, Ubisoft will use the conversation with Mr Mackey as a smart retconning of The Stick of Truth.

"So the whole King and Stick of Truth thing, she was actually a girl the entire time?"

Mr Mackey then asks you to clarify exactly what you mean by a girl. You're then asked to select whether you identify as cisgender or transgender.

Aoife and Chris picked transgender, and Mr Mackey once again calls your parents. "It still tracks with The Stick of Truth, yes it does. She was definitely a girl the whole time. Yes of course. I get it."

[BobFromPikeCreek]

That's hilarious.

[Joe Molotov]

Using digital blackface/transface as a cheap joke. You can tell the game was made by alt-Reich cismales

Forgot the first game had jew as a class
