Is Kid Icarus Uprsing good?

It's a well-made game with a ton of content, great graphics and music, but suffers from some of the most uncomfortable controls ever.

I seriously need help buying an HDTV. I've got all my systems in boxes because I lost my old gaming TV to the new family room.

Like I have 3 new games I that I haven't opened because of my dilemma and I'm getting 2 more in the mail. I should probably start a thread in the Diversity Lounge, lol.

And funnily enough, Daigo and all the other former Evo champs all got knocked the fuck out of the tournament!

Oscar, can you explain what Konami is doing? At least with Square Enix we see them pump out tonnes of phone games. Are Konami making a tonne of phone games too, but no one in the west cares to even report on them? Have they sent all of the game developers to KojiPro and PES? Did a bunch of people get laid off so Konami can fully transition into a fitness centre business?

They have a lot of stuff on the JP App Store that will probably never leave Japan. And of course they also have the Star Wars Force Collection card "game" that pulls in a sick amount of money.

didn't they have a popular mobile game called dragon collection? what happened to that?

am i correct in assuming it was just another boring rage of bahamut clone?

these sort of games are so gross, no actual "game" at all just click on stuff, get reward, and throw money at the game when the grinding become's too unbearable

I found this really cool wiki, it's basically a re-post of a ton of tips to know "before" you play a game. Or maybe just tips you werent aware of. It's compiled from a huge thread on SomethingAwful. It seems updated often, since I saw Child of Light there.

It takes a certain mix of hubris and willful ignorance to begin a documentary about video games with a quote from Gandhi.

Quote

transitions to a title card that announces: “A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.” The tone is one of people who banded together to cure a disease or survive K2, not mass-market Donkey Kong to the children of Baby Boomers

the proper gandhi quote they should have put instead

Someone should do a video game movie like Pirates of Silicon Valley

Zach Braff and Wil Wheaton can be in it too, as Allan Alcorn and Nolan Bushnell.

And Anthony Michael Hall and James Van Der Beek as Howard Lincoln and Shigeru Miyamoto.

Takao · « **Reply #13898 on:** July 20, 2014, 11:51:53 AM »

- repetitive
- too short to do the concept justice
- stars b-list actors
- unfocused narrative

sounds like the most faithful video game movie to me

just in time for the announcement of the new NIS game... Great Pedo Blacksmith!

Quote

Nippon Ichi have been teasing a new PlayStation Vita game with clues of “gold” and “beautiful woman”. This week’s issue of Famitsu reveals the game as Oedo Blacksmith or Great Edo Blacksmith, a title with erotic elements. (Thanks, Game-Jouhou)

In Great Edo Blacksmith, the protagonist is a swordsmith, and only has one year remaining to live. The goal is to make money as a swordsmith and fall in love with a girl. The main part of the game revolves around making and selling swords and decorations. In order to gather material to make the goods, you’ll need to step into dungeons to mine minerals.
There are battles in the dungeons, and you’ll need to get help from hired allies to take them on. Great Edo Blacksmith also has some sort of “touching” feature with girls in the game. Here are the girls who’ve been introduced thus far:

Sayaka (voiced by Izumi Chiba) has the trademark style of a sideways ponytail. She’s positive but somewhat of a klutz.
Asaka (voiced by Shizuka Tsuji) doesn’t know much about business talk. While she’s quite the articulate girl, she also has a cute side to her that goes over well with customers.
Yugiri (voiced by Shizuka Ito) has an attractive face, figure, and good looks overall, but she’s clumsy and tends to be a pessimist

According to Nippon Ichi, Great Edo Blacksmith is targeted at men in their 20s. It will have a fair share of erotic elements, as the company would like to turn it into a franchise similar to Criminal Girls.
Great Edo Blacksmith will be released in Japan on November 27, 2014 for PlayStation Vita.

More free PSN goodies coming soon:

Quote

Today's settlement, which has yet to be approved by the judge, offers plaintiffs benefits such as free PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable games, free PS3 themes, free subscriptions to PlayStation Plus, free subscriptions to the Music Unlimited service and free SOE Station cash.

Claims made by those who didn't participate in PlayStation's "Welcome Back" package — a program in which Sony offered PSN members free games as thanks for their loyalty after the security breach — will be honored on a first-come, first-serve basis, subject to an aggregate cap of $6 million. Claimants will be able to choose two separate benefit options or two instances of one PSN benefit option.

Those who did participate in the "Welcome Back" package will be eligible to receive one game benefit, a theme benefit or a PlayStation Plus subscription benefit. Participants will also be honored on a first-come, first-serve basis to an aggregate cap of $4 million.

http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/dreadnought-yager-e3-preview/#!bk4oZH

Quote

Each of the five ships present in Yager’s E3 demo has very different performance and special abilities, all of which roughly line up with those that you’d expect to see in a more traditional class-based shooter. They’ve all got primary and secondary fire weapons, as well as four different cooldown-managed abilities assigned to hotkeys. Players also have the ability to re-route power on the fly with each ship, beefing up shields, engines, or weapons at the cost of lowered effectiveness for the two systems power diverts away from.

Quote

Let’s take a look at the five ships:

Destroyer: The Destroyer is Dreadnought‘s well-rounded capital ship; it doesn’t excel in any one category, but its decent speed/maneuverability, shielding, and offensive/defensive capabilities make it effective in virtually any role.

Dreadnought: The Dreadnought is a powerful tank class, with its heavy armor and weapons loadout balanced by the slowest speed and maneuverability of the five ships revealed so far.

Corvette: The speedy, lightly armored Corvette is your scout class, able to zip behind enemy lines, both to feed intel to the rest of the team and for flanking maneuvers.

Tactical: The pristine, white armor of the Tactical cruiser stands apart from the darker metals making up the other ship classes, and that helps players to easily identify it as the go-to medic. It’s not a very hardy fighter, but it’s got a couple of different options when it comes to repairing damaged teammates.

Artillery: The gun-shaped Artillery cruiser is Dreadnought‘s sniper class. It fires slowly and crumbles quickly under fire, but its damaging attacks maintain pinpoint accuracy at the most extreme distances.

I hope we'll be able to do this:

I recently ripped out the time capacitor on my modded Xbox, after reading that GAF thread about it.

There was some leakage, and some corrosion, but I turned it on just now and it works fine.

Only 160GB so not many games (I modded this like 8 years ago), so I'm gonna just stack it with the exclusives and a third party game or two.

Gonna do it with my second unmodded box and look into softmodding it.

This is a good insight into the stories of Bioshock, B:Infinite, and its DLC. I'm still unwilling to play B:Infinite through to its conclusion because it's boring as hell and has streamlined its own gameplay conceits into something are internally nonsensical, but it's calming to think that maybe there is a coherent narrative thread bringing a beloved character some closure.
