Awesome! posted:i am buying a wii u next week. I never had a wii. besides the mario galaxy games, what wii titles should i look out for? I already have donkey kong country returns on 3ds and okami on ps3. I'm not sure if it's become rare and expensive as hell or whatever, but if you can get it for not too much money, the Wii Punch-Out!! is probably my favorite game remake of all time. Most of the classic fighters from NES Punch-Out!! (although no Tyson) are here and have been fleshed out with full-blown personalities, even legit-speaking the fighter's native language and doing comedy bits between rounds (Great Tiger splits into three copies and has a conversation with himself in Hindi, Piston Hondo reads Japanese Haikus, stuff like that). Pretty much the only piece of music during fights is the classic fight song from the NES version, but each fight is remixed to fit the fighter's style (e.g. when you fight Great Tiger it's played on a Sitar, fighting Soda Popinski is Russian-style). Once you've beaten the game once, every fighter re-challenges you and becomes an entirely new fight with some new "they've learned some trick to counter you" gimmick. Disco Kid is a total pushover in your first fight, but then takes Boxercise lessons and kicks your rear end Richard Simmons-style. King Hippo tapes a manhole cover to his belly-button. Glass Joe has a padded helmet and is immune to uppercuts as a result (but if you hit him with a star punch it flies off briefly Asterix-style and you get a few damaging uppercuts in). You can play the game traditional "sideways Wiimote NES-style", or attach a nunchuck and actually box, or go whole hog on an immersive experience and add in a Wii balance board to dodge with. The game just oozes with that hard-to-define quality where you know the people who remade the game understood what made the NES Punch-Out!! great and did everything they could to preserve and enhance that.

The Kins posted:It's a local multiplayer platformer party game where you can draw your own character sprite in a web app and also it streams tweets with the game's name in it down the bottom of the screen.  says this makes the same mistake the RSA conference made and opens linked pictures sight unseen, and this feature will be shut down following a few goatse's. And then deactivate it entirely once it turns out half the tweets have rape threats and half have racial slurs.

Pablo Gigante posted:tbh the only Lucasarts adventures I could get into we're the Monkey Island games, how does dott compare? DoTT is definitely on-par with Monkey Island and has some really clever puzzles involving altering history (a character thrown back in time can impact the future in various ways). And the game comes with Maniac Mansion 1 as an easter egg, which itself is an impressive adventure game with a ton of replayability.

chumbler posted:Hey, nobody ever expected that any Final Fantasy games would be on steam, let alone the latest ones, so there's at least a little hope that KH games might get a steam port. Mostly I just want Birth By Sleep HD on steam because it's the best one and I don't have a ps3. Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 HD were both released on PS3 at a point in time when Sony's policy was that all games would get Day 1 Digital releases, but neither of them did.

I had the most next-gen gaming experience last night at a get together at my brother's place. Hooked up my Playstation TV, remoted into my PS4 at my place, and everyone whipped out their smartphones so we could play the Jackbox Party Pack.

euphronius posted:What is a good dancing game and maybe dance mat? For my 8 year old They don't really make those anymore, to the point where PS2's are still expensive in Japan specifically because of its library of DDR and other rhythm games (and a few other genres with sub-par representation). Your best best is going to be Just Dance for the Wii (or PS3 if you have the PS Move/Camera).

Magic Rabbit Hat posted:Smash Bros is out, but my go-to game for when I'm on transit has been Monster Hunter 3U. It's still fun even after 260+ hours in it, but are there other 3DS games I can sink a bunch of time into? Already have Bravely Default and thought it was really great. Monster Hunter 4U is getting a western release soon

ullerrm posted:* If you haven't done any of the older Final Fantasy games, they're worth playing. Most of them have a decent modern remake -- and, sadly, some of them have really crappy modern remakes as well. The PSP ports of FF1, FF2, and FF4 are excellent; they put in new sprites and better translations, but leave the core gameplay intact. (In contrast, the DS ports of these games are basically complete remakes with 3D content and new game mechanics, and it doesn't quite do so well.) Likewise, the GBA port of FF5 is pretty solid. Final Fantasy  time!FF1 and 2 on PSP aren't available digitally (unless you setup a Japanese account on your PSP or Vita and buy from there, which is playable in English). It also has identical ports on iOS and Android if you don't mind touch, and they're playable in a shitload of other languages if that's your thing. FF3 is broken-as-gently caress since its original Famicom version so I don't really have any recommendations here (they reduced the frequency of encounters but strengthened monsters to make up for it but the balance is hosed so you get steamrolled in the final dungeon and one-shotted by the final boss at the end of a 4-hour-long dungeon you can't save in and have to grind for several hours). There's "Famicom version" and "every other version", pretty much. FF4 is best on PSP and has the extra content, although the 3D versions have a slightly better translation (3D versions other than DS have difficulty levels). FF5 is best on GBA. PS1 version has a broken-as-poo poo translation if you want a few laughs. FF6 is musically best on SNES, overall best on GBA (has a far, far, far better translation). Everything after that basically doesn't matter.

precision posted:What's controversial about Hatred anyway? There are a lot of old games where "just fuckin shoot mans" was the whole game. I think it's really about how it's much more blatantly innocent, unarmed people you're killing. Pretty much every "you are a psycho killer" game still pretty much exclusively has you killing people who are actively hostile towards you (Manhunt, Postal, GTA, Hotline Miami) and not executing civilians who are pleading for their lives.

SunAndSpring posted:RAM's in. That's not the problem. Reduce your build to its most essential components to see if that works. If you just have PSU, mobo, CPU and RAM that should get you something at the boot screen level. Have as little RAM as your system will support (e.g. 1 stick of RAM if the system will boot with that, and if that doesn't work try the other stick). Did your motherboard come with a speaker (a little round doohicky with two wires coming out of it, possibly going to a weird 4-hole connector with the wires at either extreme)? Find where that goes on the motherboard and hook that up, some issues that don't give you something on screen will beep a sort of morse code error you can then look up online based on your mobo model. There could be other things, like lights or even a number display on the mobo that goes through a sequence; if it freezes somehow that tells you (again by looking up your mobo model) where in the boot process it's failing which can help you troubleshoot. If you get something on screen, turn off, hook up the hard drive and turn back on. If it's detected then try installing the video card (again, turn off first), and work your way up from there.

SunAndSpring posted:Like seriously 37 loving gigabytes, what the Christ. Why would I want to download literally every loving audio file in every language this drat thing was dubbed in? Does that game do it? I think companies have been realizing it's dumb and it seems to be disabled in a lot of cases on PC unless you explicitly set things in motion (e.g. set game to English, fully download it, change game to some other language and it then downloads the asset files needed for that while keeping the English so you can switch between them). A ton of games are legit that size now, and annoyingly for a gaming PC unless you're super-vigilant about only playing a few games at a time you pretty much need a traditional hard drive as a secondary drive. A few larger games are even weirdly designed to mitigate SSD advantages; Titanfall doesn't start a match until everyone is loaded and there's a "dropship arrival" sort of cutscene at the beginning of each match which is what people with fast-loading SSD's get to see more off. Just as well since the game is like 60 gigs because they decided all the audio should be converted to PCM uncompressed files for performance reasons.

ONE YEAR LATER posted:As someone not interested in a next gen system yet but still interested in Dragon Age Inquisition, how is the 360 version? I've heard bad things but I suspect it's the kind of thing you can deal with if you accept that it's a 360 game. Note that it's only available on disc (no digital edition) and it requires a hard drive (you can't use USB storage for the install) and a 7.2 gig install. PS3 version is available digitally if that's an option for you.
