Switch owners should be happy they dont have to suffer through Randy's degenerate shitshow

[EchoRin]

Randy has a pissing fetish?

I thought he was the dude that left behind a usb stick where there was some underage (or possibly questionable) nudes or what have you. 

[demi]

Yeah, he thinks female squirting is magical and amazing. He's all about the watersports

He's both.

He also robbed SEGA of their Alien development money and poured it into his own pet projects instead.

Ok, sounds good

Eh, to be fair if you're getting paid like $250 to play & review the game, adding another 6 hours means you probably went from making $15/hour to $10/hour on the review.
Also reviewing videogames for money is a terrible time/money ratio.

But then you book overtime trashing the game in extra articles

EGS is annoying when it comes to saves, no cloud save, I lost a few hours of control playthrough recently when the damn game crashed when it was attempting to save.

The cool thing was they have a play from checkpoint so I was only 3 hours lost, Remedy coming in clutch, but with the RNG elements of this game and no cloud save, absolutely fuck that.

nah its done manually by epic on a game by game basis

SNK's announced arcade stick will work on both the NeoGeo Mini and PC.  It also will come with HDMI-out and 20 built-in games.

https://www.snk-corp.co.jp/us/press/2019/091003/

Joystick Mode

In this mode, you can use the arcade stick normally by simply plugging it into a NEOGEO mini or PC. We guarantee a solid experience with this arcade stick.

Console Mode

In this mode, simply connect the stick via an HDMI cable into a TV and get ready to enjoy some of SNK’s finest fighting games. There are 20 pre-installed NEOGEO classics just waiting to be played. You can even rearrange the button layout in the options menu. Also, you can attach NEOGEO mini PAD controllers or even another NEOGEO Arcade Stick Pro for some glorious 2-Player action!

Don't worry, nintendies will get their justice boner when the first Borderlands is ported to Switch full priced, which they'll declare much better than that lame Gamecube with its Metroid Prime, F-Zero and RE4 and constant good new IPs. 

Also reviews are good for BL3? Not that I'd ever touch that shitty meme fest or anything by that goon Pitchford. I remember when he kept petting himself on the shoulder for reviving trash like Duke Nukem and that broken Aliens thing, but then didn't hesitate to blame other developers once the reviews hit

[Ghoul]

the BL3 reviews are all over the place, it's weird which ones are going for hate clicks and which ones are merely sucking up to Randy to get their invite to one of his "parties"

[kingv]

This game cube thing is just trolling. Switch already has more than 2x as many games released for it in 2 years than GameCube had over its whole lifetime.

Sorry, I have zero sympathy for these people.  Talk to someone like my wife who has to regularly pull double shifts as a nurse (or like me back when I worked in a warehouse) compared to some reviewer whining that they have to play some more games because the site they work for is shit. 

[Rufus]

Nobody is stealing sympathy from your wife or anyone else by acknowledging a waste of time and effort, however easy by comparison. It's not a competition.

[BisMarckie]

I am building my PS3 collection right now. Managed to snag Alice Madness Returns for 10 bucks even though the going rate for it is around 35.
Some more or less mainstream games for PS3 are getting expensive. Demon’s Souls, MGS Legacy Collection and even shovelware like The Simpsons The Game(    ) are getting kinda pricey for PS3 games.

[Shuri]

yep the ps3 market is slowly exploding right now. Better start picking up the games you want now before it gets stupid. I know a couple of dudes who have complet sets, it's pretty insane.

[demi]

Simpsons is going for $20 on eBay. If that. What an explosion.

I'm missing a few of the Atelier games and perhaps some other more obscure RPGs for the platform... I never see the Atelier games in stores. What are some of the rarer PS3 RPGs I should get before prices balloon?

Well, compare it with the prices for other licensed shit. Most of them can be bought for a buck or two.

Needs some work, but am game if they can improve it.

Polish developer Mass Creation will release beat ’em up action game Shing! for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam in Q1 2020, the studio announced.

Shing! brings back the arcade beat ’em up gameplay and supercharges it with crazy stylish action and intuitive stick-based controls. Free-flowing combos, outstanding mobility, parries, counters, aerial combat and the ability to instantly switch between four playable characters make Shing! a real treat for any sidescrolling beat’em’up fan.

Take control of four Yokai hunters—deadly warriors tasked with defending the realm from a sudden onslaught of mythical beasts. While trying to recover the legendary Starseed, they will trek through crowded cities bathed in neon light, ash-covered ruins of ancient civilizations, noxious swamps covered in mist, and many other exotic locations.

Band together in four-player local and online co-op to slice up a horde of bloodthirsty demons, overcome epic bosses, and master the most exciting and immersive beat-em-up combat system ever!

[ZombieSupaStar]

Got in on the 3 years of game pass ultimate for $180. Between outer worlds and halo (I guess?) 1 more game and it has already paid for itself.

I didn’t say exploding, I am just saying invest your 401K in The Simpsons The Game

I need to buy MGS4 before it triples in price.

[Nuitangg]

When will EGS get an achievement system?  Not that I give a shit about them but I kinda do.

[Coffee Dog]

Just hit moon #670 in Mario Odyssey after owning it some months, I'm really not sure how anyone can say it's a better game than Sunshine. It has more content sure, but I'd rather take the pacing of any other Mario game over rummaging through the trash for power moons or jumping after a bird for the twentieth time or stacking goombas for the thirtieth time. At least Sunshine had fluddless levels and the sand bird. The amount of low quality derivative content in Odyssey drowns out the few and far between Mario focused platforming sections for endlessly menial busywork.

Somone once said "Mario is such a great controlling character that you could do anything with him and it would be fun", and Mario Odyssey is that theory put to the absolute test, because this game doesn't have you do shit.

[BisMarckie]

MGS 4 is dirt cheap, I think I paid two bucks for it.

That's just the monetary compensation. You paid for it with your soul and you will be ashamed of your deeds and actions.

Is that the game that got cancelled/recalled but promo material along with some copies hit stores and got sold before they could be sent back?

[benjipwns]

Yeah, it got cancelled, but something like 100 copies made it out and never came back. A third of them have popped up on eBay. IIRC, there's only like single digit 360 versions. All the rest are PS3.

A demo for Contra: Rogue Corps is up for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch.

Maybe it won't be crap?  Maybe.

[Chooky]

tyrone is a fucking piece of shit and has been for years. besides just being a bigot asswipe, he sets up shit deals to fuck over devs. from what i understand he basically has the rights to cave story, among other games, while the creator has nothing. he's trash; please don't make yourself look stupid by defending him or acting like this story is out-of-proprotion.

It's kinda-all right.  Kinda.  The game looks ugly, but plays well enough.  Has annoying hand-holding but it's putting you on a 'training' stage so fine unless it stays that way.  Your gun can also overheat with extended use, which I don't like at all.  Ruins the flow of the action.  But you can also jump and do a dodge move if you can't shoot or need to avoid stuff.

Are the tariffs affecting computer build part prices? Planning on building a new rig next year and if so, this is probably a bad time.

[Nuitangg]

I don't think so.  Ram prices were out of control a while back but that wasn't because of tariffs.

[Great Rumbler]

Anybody here played Greedfall yet? I've enjoyed Spiders' past few RPGs, despite them being incredibly janky, so I'm definitely interested in playing, but I'd like to here some impressions before I put down $50.

[Akala]

Greedfall looks dope but there is a 0% chance I'd get to it before like December.

at this rate by next year all the tariffs with every country might be eliminated or we might be in an autarky implementing the scientific principles of Juche, that'll do far more to computer part prices than anything so far has done, prices don't seem off at all, for example, SSD's right now are more comparable to regular HD's than ever

RAM is always weird because of how it's fabbed but it's never really spiked nuttily outside of epic natural disasters since the second suppliers have exploded
