Devil Survivor 2 Overclocked was announced just recently overseas

[Joe Molotov]

Are the DS games good, demi-chan? I haven't played them. My bro has DS 2, but if DS 2 Overclocked is coming out, I'll probably just wait for that.

[archnemesis]

They're great although very similar to each other. Playing one of them might be enough. It's a hybrid between your standard SRPG (Final Fantasy Tactics, Disgaea) and classic Megami Tensei. You have similar combat and demon fusion systems as in most other SMT games.

They can be ridiculously difficult if you grow your character and monsters incorrect. The Overlocked version fixed this to a certain degree, as well as adding an easy mode (basically double XP).

the Taco Bell game ought to be a Bore favourite.

In order to defeat the monsters, you squirt them with packets of Taco Bell hot sauce (also found on the ground) that burn them alive, reducing them to piles of smoldering ash. Essentially, you use one of the very products the game is supposed to be advertising to immolate godless creatures in the suffocating darkness of an ancient crypt.

I want to preorder BioShock Infinite on Steam, but I want that free copy of X-Com they're offering if they get to a certain level or preorders, and it doesn't look like they're going to get to that level...

[Trent Dole]

I still have all three BK games, and the Pepsiman videos are awesome...

Same here, I got all the achievements in Pocketbike Racer...

that album is awesome

[Cerveza mas fina]

Yeah im listening right now.

I couldn't get all of them, but I've got most of them. Surprisingly good game. Big Bumpin', on the other hand... Crap! Sneak King was taboo for a bit, but I ended up wanting to throw my controller on that last level.

[demi]

I 200'd Pocketbike and Sneak King

Can't find anyone to boost with on Big Bumpin

[tiesto]

Wow, that Kavinsky doesn't sound like it's up my alley at all, no siree...

C&C soundtrack was RED HOT:

[Fifstar]

Loved that Act On Instinct Track. Also loved this bad ass track from Red Alert:

[tiesto]

Yeah, C&C had good music, I never actually played any of the games but I've heard the soundtrack due to knowing some big RTS fans in college, and it still sticks out to this day.

[Great Rumbler]

Most of the music for the C&C series was done by Frank Klepacki, who has also done some solo work:



Ignore the anime picture on that second video, it's got nothing to do with the song.

Apparently Game Informer is announcing Thief 4 tomorrow and it's a next gen game.

[Great Rumbler]

"Yay!" for Part 1, "Boo!" for Part 2. But at least it'll look incredible nice, though.

I've played a demo. It looked nice enough already. I'm not sure how many additional shades of "dark" will be added by going next-gen.

I was gonna laugh, but then I saw that its originally $30 and it's actually a full length rpg? What did you and the rest of the Bore think of it, demi?

[demi]

I think it's great. It is a full length RPG. Has jobs to fuck with and everything. Definitely get on it. I'm on the final "chapter" -- almost done. I play it at work.

[Beezy]

Thanks, this should be perfect for my boring train rides.

The internet rage is being directed at EA for a botched SimCity launch...

[magus]

what do you guys think is a good price for a second hand ps3?

[archnemesis]

Are you selling or buying? Prices will probably drop quite fast when people start buying next-gen systems.

[demi]

what do you guys think is a good price for a second hand ps3?

Depends what it comes with, and what model and condition. I'd pay roughly 175 for a slim (not a super slim).

Archnemesis, I think it will be the opposite. People will keep their PS3s since they cant use it on PS4, and everything works out of the box (online, PSN, etc.) -- PS4 is still a huge unknown to these people. Sony will also not just up and drop PS3, especially with games still coming out, even Last Of Us. & Beyond.

[archnemesis]

I think it's mostly us enthusiasts who care about the BC. The average dude is going to sell his current systems to Gamestop to finance his purchase of the new consoles.

[magus]

buying,it's 170 for an 80gb phat but it comes pre-hacked which is what i really want mostly... actualy the thing i fear the most is the dreaded yellow light of death or stuff like that
i've been wondering for a while if i want one,part of me thinks i already own a 360 and parts of me really want to play N1 stuff,ni no kuni and whatever tales of game they come with

I have the 80GB phat model, bought it used in 2008 and it's still going strong. I upgraded the hard drive to a 750GB Western Digital unit a year or so ago... feels good, man.

Another day, another classic PC game getting a re-release. This time, it's a Steam release of Age of Empires II.

Saw this on SEGA's facebook page:



DO WANT!!! Megurine Luka is mai waifu

[Mr. Gundam]

I'd be afraid of buying a PS3 fat at this point due to YLOD issues. It's gonna happen at some point because of the crappy lead-free solder.

[Joe Molotov]

LIKE x 10000000000000

[Trent Dole]

Figured that is what'd come of them testing the waters with that Eng demo on Vita last E3. Hope they make a special edition super uguu PS3 to go with it.

[Great Rumbler]

This came out today:

yeah a friend of mine told me the european 80gb don't suffer from the issue but i still wanted to ask before

This came out today:

oh god i hate any sexism in videogames discussion,it always turn stupid,and seriously we are talking about peach & zelda? what's next? sexism in snow white and the seven dwarfes?

[Positive Touch]

This came out today:

ah, thanks for posting! that was a pretty good intro; cant wait for later videos to get more in-depth!

Thank god for Damsels in Distress -- otherwise we wouldnt get amazing games like Tomb Raider

Haha regardless of her viewpoints I hate her for her giant dumb fucking hoop earrings. Can't watch video of someone who looks so stupid, sorry honey!
Also: what's wrong with being sexy?

Meh here's something that's actually kind of cool and worth discussing

[fistfulofmetal]

hey that chick is pretty cute

[fistfulofmetal]

honestly all that shit she's talking about is pointless. every form of media does damsel in distress. it's not a video game problem, it's a cultural problem.

[Positive Touch]

yes... and shes talking about how the cultural problem manifests itself specifically in videogames

[ferrarimanf355]

I had mine for almost 5 years and had no problems, so as long as you take care of it, you should be fine.

[Purple Filth]

She's just kind of listing things off so far.  I mean, I can go to TV Tropes just as well as she can.

It's a topic certainly worthy of some proper discourse, but she's proven pretty poor at every aspect of exploring the topic apart from calling attention to it, IMO.  I hope she can do better in the future.

Ouch.

The fact she got money for this won't go over too well.

[benjipwns]

I think the problem is the audience she's "addressing" (or more importantly is getting the attention of) more than the content of the video. They're suspicious of ulterior motives everywhere. Pointing out really obvious shit = sekret plot to kill off Nintendo/Sony/gaming.

I barely even saw anything "feminist" and it seemed more like just a selective history of a common trope. I mean sure there's a few word choices that "give away" her personal ideology but where won't you see that? And what aren't you expecting?

It's really just the last part where she sums up and that's basically irrelevant to the content of the previous twenty minutes. You could have thrown in almost anything before and said the same thing.

I think the upcoming part where she discusses who has "flipped the script" is where there will be real value and probably should have been the overall focus. But that's really just a personal thing as I think it's a positive approach that's hard to "attack", you aren't "tearing down" the beloved history of video games but saying "these are really great, more like this please!"

If she gets more detailed and feminist about it, the ire is only going to skyrocket.

[benjipwns]

It wasn't really a criticism just more of my out loud bafflement identifying me as unworldly.


LET'S SEE HER STEAM LIBRARY

oh god oh god oh god from her website:

but what's the point? Singling out video games isn't going to solve any problems.
