I dunno about the final game for this year, but the first game I play every year for the past like ten years is a playthrough of Super Mario Bros. on the NES. Knock it out in like ten to fifteen minutes, I'm not good at speedrunning but it's still fun. :)

I think the first and only JRPG run will be Final Fantasy VII, it's like 4th run before the end of AGDQ. Maybe there's something else, check yourself - I haven't memorized all JRPGs out there.

highlight of sgdq for me was the ff6 run towards the end, i figured they'd have a ton to fill time at the end. i'll take a look at the list thanks for the link

The Wii U is the best console to own. It's 3+ consoles in one.

i hate to wish success on ubisoft but i think if watch_dogs had been given a more strict wii u release or had had some kind of success we would see a lot more multiplats including the wii u which would be nice, its really a shame.

but if you have a pc + wii u you really don't need to worry about that in the end because almost everything is coming out on pc now, thanks in part probably to both "big" consoles moving to x86 processors

games set in a desert will be brownish because sand is brownish. this should not be a surprise.

farcry 4 was good but even without being brownish it eventually got old. and then the area of the game that is brown happened and that was better (because it was towards the end)

having x86 cpus doesn't suddenly make it trivial to port from them, its just as complicated as it ever was. you still have stuff like the memory setup being completely different on both consoles to a PC, the GPUs having weird additions and architectural challenges etc. even the CPUs are different as they interact completely differently to the rest of the system than they do in a PC, the SDKs have more low level support leading to the coding needing porting to run over more abstract APIs etc. its more due to most everything coming out on all platforms in order to make more money, thats all.

compared to porting from a processor used in one device, it is significantly easier is what i meant to say, i did not mean to imply you could just plug that poo poo into a windows machine. it is definitely "easier" than in previous generations when things like the cell processor have features, that i imagine, were not easily reproduced in a desktop pc market

its really just fc3 in a new place. i don't really think much changed except adding grappling hook which is really just a gimmick used for a couple lovely first person platforming sections and to access a few hidden areas. you can mostly avoid using it by using a hang glider to get to the top of the section you would've had to climb.

they do but few ports are literally just doing that, they would run very badly otherwise. console versions still have significant optimisation made to them for both consoles rather than just using the highest level abstraction available and nothing else (DX on xbone, openGL on ps4). if they were doing that you would see really really REALLY badly performing ports compared to currently.

but you are saying this in a world where the assassin's creed unity port is a thing that happened as if to illustrate the point that they just hit a button to port it poorly

i said few not none. but also, unity runs well on the xbone for some really odd reason to the point that you have to spec out a really good PC to match it, so they mustve done more than just thrown it through the DX API on the bone and said done. probe went from the bone first, then cos they didn't fix anything and tried to brute force it it came out really poo poo and bad.

it was being advertised using the xbone promo so microsoft probably paid them quite a number of american dosh to make sure it was -the- release

otoh judt don't play ubisoft games as they are bad though

this is true but it won't stop me. still would've liked the wii u watch dogs to do well to secure a few more ports to it

FactsAreUseless posted:

The mission design is so much better, though. Instead of campaign missions being the low points of the game (the incredibly lovely boss fights, the giant monster) they're variations on the central sneak-and-shoot gameplay. It makes a big difference, especially with the removal of the long slow unskippable dream/drug sequences.

uhhh how far did you get? because you are required to do one of the drug sequences for the manor and its one of the best missions in the game imho. though the removal of bosses for stealth and take over bases is much cooler and there are a lot fewer story quests from my understanding too. the unskippable cut scenes are still a thing and kind of annoying but you only really have to watch them once.

the best part of 4 is the secret ending and it justifies the entire game
