Equating janky ass Witcher 3 to MGS V should be a felony.

like how contra and bubble bobble are similar because they're 2d games where you shoot things

A newsletter, yes. No other info than that though. Not sure what to make of it. You guys expecting something officially Mother for the Switch? Any semi-decent rumors? Or is this the first time anything Mother related has appeared in a long time? Fan games excluded of course. Only official stuff I mean.

Modern AC is a blend of MGS5, The Witcher 3 and in Odyssey they added some Wind Waker into the mix.

here's the stupidest thing I've read all week

At least he didn't drop Dark Souls in there too...

I have no clue why companies even make them anymore. Save Blizzard maybe. But even for them, do they really need it? The cost must outweigh the gains.

Although I suppose you can't really show an alpha state as a trailer. But then supposedly we are gonna have gameplay next week of this game so yeah. Ubisoft trying to create a big hype. I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't do half as good as Odyssey. But then again, it will be cross gen so it will benefit from those extra sales boost.

There is. The Eivor name is also female only in Sweden. There are no males named Eivor.

I think they were just scared and for marketing purposes are putting the male guy front and center. How predictable for a company who makes games by comite.

Honestly, I'd be ok with this just being a reskin, so to speak, of Odyssey; having some dashes of mythical creatures n' shit thrown in.

I went to try the Trials of Mana demo I downloaded on steam to compare the PC version to the Switch version.

It kept giving me an error and wouldn't boot. So I went to the store page and the demo is GONE. SE deleted the demo for PC. WTF SQUARE.

I'm late to this realization, but playing Streets of Rage 4 with the Xbox One d-pad has highlighted how much more strenuous it is to use. The added resistance of the clicky domes tired out my thumb really fast. Does it wear-in eventually, or do I have to work out my thumb?

I wish everyone could just copy the Saturn's design. :'( Accurate, effortless, perfect.

I was having a similar issue.. Was wondering if I was just getting old and my button mashing wasn't what it use to be, but then started questioning if it's the d-pad of the DS4... It is slightly larger than the DS3, so it takes more out of my thumb just to move and double tap constantly.. bork was recommending some Saturn like controllers whoch can essentially be used on PS4. PC would be even easier of course. Before the DC, Sega's d-pads were God tier.

Agreed. So bad that the actual plastic walling restricted the inputs. I don't know who thought it was ok.You literally had to twiddle the d pad to get it so the actual d-pad wasn't too close to one of the walls. People who didn't mind putting in a little work sandpapered the plastic walling down a bit, but that's an absurd solution.

As much as I personally rag on the game awards, I've never really heard anyone say anything bad about Geoff Keighley on a personal or professional level. He visited a place I worked once and seemed pretty genuine in how much he loves games and what goes into making them. Dunno what Garry Whitta's deal is.

Sunset Riders is apparently getting ported to switch soon and I'm very excited. Never got to play the arcade version but the Genesis game was a classic.

I had it on SNES later on, but initially played only the arcade version, because the local bar in my little countryside village had one in the back, next to the foosball.
It had that, and some pretty cool Marvel beat 'em 'up with a buff Venom and maybe Hawkeye or Black Cat or some shit, but that shit was rigged to hell to eat your money so we rarely played it.
