Dude, that's exactly what their thing says their doing!

They're doing some licensed anime shovelware card battle game for 3DS 

As long as its not yugioh i am interested.  Love card battle games.  Though the best one is on pc.  The name escapes me though.

[magus]

yu-gi-oh ain't bad as long as you don't play to competitive level (then it just gets silly),they are bringing a new gameplay mechanic with the next update

one card game i liked a lot was duel masters on the GBA,there is a crappy american version that's the most awful thing ever but there is also a good one that has been japan only

[Damian79]

Ah the games name is Etherlords it had a sequel aswell.

Are there any actually bearable commentators in tournament games of SSF4, BlazBlue, MvC3, and whatever else? Sometimes I get a random urge to check out the tourney games despite having like no interest in taking the games up seriously, but my GOD most of these guys are just a horrible combination of nasally voices, bad jokes, and SHOUTING REALLY LOUDLY WHENEVER A PLAYER TAKES ANY DAMAGE

For real, if any of you fighting game nerds can point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated

[Raban]

That's the fighting game community, man. Learn to love it.

I've already seen Jeff's Muffintop. I want to see Davis in all his glory.

[Raban]

I thought you'd enjoy Ryan being showered in dong-shaped video game controllers.

[Raban]

Seriously. So awesome.

this kid wins the internet

[The Sceneman]

he's got a lot of charisma for a kid, shame people are slagging off his video

[magus]

[youtube=560,345][/youtube]

this should be a full game but instead it's only a short demo,gaming sucks so damn much

[Bebpo]

Iconoclast better play that

[archie4208]

Game is extremely buggy.  Random crashes everywhere.

[magus]

well duh it's not even a demo,it's a prototype of a game he didn't finish

[Damian79]

About the same level of charisma as Obama.  Shame he cant construct a decent sentence off the fly.  50% of the vid is "um"s.

Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai has been playing Crysis 2, which saw Japanese PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 release on April 1 (the PC version arrives on April 14).

Crysis is of course known for its high quality visuals, and Sakurai seems to be impressed with what he was seeing. Earlier today, he Tweeted "For today's HD games, is it no good if you can't make graphics of this level?"

This comment lead to some back and forth about graphics with some of his followers. One follower, saying that he believed Crysis 2 places importance on graphics over gameplay, suggested that it's okay if you just have "a certain level" of high quality graphics. Sakurai's response was that it's no good for a developer to stop at just "a certain level."

He also added that he doesn't feel the relationship between graphics and game enjoyment is one where reducing your effort in one area will necessarily lead to improvements in the other area. Although it is extremely difficult to excel in both areas making this a rare thing, he said.

To another follower, he said "I'd like to try HD at some point. I wonder if I'll get the opportunity?"

Now,where is SantaC to make a thread "Why doesn't Nintendo embrace graphics like Sony/MS?"
gaf has one

next gen Nintendo fan=graphics whore

that would be fun to watch

[demi]

To another follower, he said "I'd like to try HD at some point. I wonder if I'll get the opportunity?"

[archie4208]

Sakurai wants to make a HD game?  Does that mean he will be working on PC? 

[demi]

Not if he wants his game to sell.

[archie4208]

It'll sell six months down the road when everybody buys it for $5 during a Steam sale. 

[Himu]

upgrade wii2 to xbox graphic capabilities with modern gaming tech (shaders, lighting). i won't complain.

[Bebpo]

whoops

[pilonv1]

I don't mind, I miss the days of staggered launches for awesome products. These worldwide launches for shit devices are boring.

[Bebpo]

Nippon Ichi needs to program better.  Everytime they add a feature or fix a glitch the patch is 400 megs+

They just released a patch that "fixes a rare crash when a line is said post-game" and that patch is 837MB.  I'm pretty sure their entire Disgaea games are < 837MBs since they're just some sprites and voices. 

[The Sceneman]

I would blame Sony for the patch size

easy 1000G - better drink my own piss

[pilonv1]

That's awesome.

Would be great if there was a co-op mode where you had to piss for someone else to drink it




There better be self administered enemas too

[Damian79]

Nintendo tries to make a hardcore game.

[Great Rumbler]

Hey, alright, another interesting looking Nintendo game for the Wii that NOA will ignore!

[EmCeeGrammar]

Meh, if it did get released here the enthusiast press would ignore it, the wii demographic would ignore it, and the hardcore gamer would ignore it and complain about his dusty wii all the time.  NOA is just ahead of the pack.

I think a pointer hack and slash combat game could be fun, but it seems a little story oriented in that obnoxious expostion japanese way.  Don't know how I can say that from said trailer but I just got a feeling.

[Great Rumbler]

Like I care about that.

[The Sceneman]

pls define "enthusiast press"

[Great Rumbler]

if only we could somehow connect those things that emcee was talking about to something you do care about, like games like that getting released in north america

but i can't see how so

 

[Damian79]

I dont know, i think hardcore gamers would gladly stop complaining about the wii and actually buy the games too because hardcore gamers go where the games are.

[The Sceneman]

pls define "hardcore gamers"

[Damian79]

Look at the japanese hardcore gamers like bebpo once decent games came out for it he stopped complaining about it even claims it is a better system than the 3ds.  I wish i coudl says the same about the wii.

pls define "hardcore gamers"

Well the kind that would go out and buy a system for a single game like me.

[MCD]

We need better graphics first.

[Damian79]

We need better graphics first.

Then you arent really a hardcore gamer, you are a *doof* *doof* gamer that really cares more about the asthetics rather than the actual game.

[Raban]

pls define "hardcore gamers"

Speak for yourself home-boy. The kind of person that buys a video game system for one game sounds more like a hardcore idiot.

I would agree if finding decent games arent hard these days.

[Raban]

I would show you how wrong you are, but I can't give eyesight to the blind.

[Damian79]

Name me 10 good rpgs on consoles(not handhelds) this gen then?  I dare you.

[Raban]

I can't argue that JRPGs aren't being represented as strongly as they were last generation, but I'm not losing any hair over it. Japan needs to spend some more time trying to figure out how to make games 21st century style, and I'd rather not deal with the refuse while they blindly stab in the dark.

And if it's the W flavor of RPG you're looking for, then let me introduce you to newegg.com and a little something called Windows.

[Damian79]

I dont care if they are western or japanese.  You can have both.

Hey man i got windows 7 before you did.  PC is the holy grail of rpg gaming ATM.

[Raban]

Then why dare me to list anything? You've clearly tasted the fruits yourself!

[Damian79]

But i like good console RPG's aswell.  PC rpgs are vastly different to console rpgs.

[Raban]

hokay 10 good ones eh?  

mass effect, dragon age, fallout 3, oblivion, tales of vesp, the last remnant, valkyria chronicles, blue dragon, demon's souls, lost odyssey

just off the top of me head.

I'm gonna add Nier and FFXIII to this.

[Damian79]

Mass Effect 1&2 pissed me off too much and i found it to be boring.
Dragon Age 1 while it started off slow was brilliant toward the end so yeah thats 1.  DA2 was garbage and made me swear off bioware games for good.
FO3 was shit however FO:NV was awesome, thats 2.  
Oblivion was only decent on PC with the mods that removed the auto levelling of enemies.
Tales of Vesperia was boring,  Never played Tales of Graces but it looks more fun so thats another one 3.
The last Remnant was awesome.  Thats 4.
Valkyria Chronicles is is by far one of the most overrated strat RPG's ever.  Even the Wii Fire emblem was better not that i would consider ti a good game.
Blue dragon - garbage.
Demon's souls a great game let down by the fact that you coudlnt save anytime so you find yourself wasting so many potions on bosses and no way to ge them back so it reverts to grinding but ill give you that one, if i dint play it on impossible mode first i would have enjoyed it a lot more nad wouldnt have had to retart a million times.  Thats 5.
Lost Odyssey -garbage.

[Raban]

See, Oscar, this is why I didn't write a list. Because you just get that. Every. Fucking. Time.

[Damian79]

EDIT:  I digress its not my place to judge.

[Damian79]

Eh, in hindsight i should never even have started arguing.  SMH.

[Raban]

Too bad. It's immortalized now. Suffer in the infinite sadness you bitch.

[Damian79]

Eh, atleast i dont support the likes of FF 13. *shrugs*
