Gestalt Intellect posted:As funny as these things can be, the false positives are a danger with all of them so I'm not sure they're ea good idea. I remember someone on SA posting about a problem they were getting with serious sam 3 where their view would lock in some weird direction on the second level, which was actually a separate pirate troll from the pink scorpion. They got probated and people made fun of them because it looked like they pirated it, then they linked to their list of owned games on steam and they really did own the game legitimately. SA mods are probate happy though. I have a legit copy of Phoenix Wright 1 and I have it on a flashcart. I didn't want to replay everything up to the last case (I had a friends copy but he took if back to trade in before I could finish) so I asked where I could get a save file and I got probated for

LawfulWaffle posted:Sounds like you have an inside source. I don't believe the news stories about changes happening on April 1st. I don't understand why the person who single-handedly made Metal Gear a household name would have his contribution scrubbed from the title cards after the game must be on the last stretch of development. I don't think that the noted practitioner of misdirection who has gone out of his way to attach his name and face to the Metal Gear franchise would suddenly be removed from the project and become the subject to a wide-scale whitewashing campaign. April 1st is worst day to be on the internet.

Somewhere in storage I'm pretty sure I still have the Blaster Master, Ninja Gaidan, Metal Gear and Castlevania books. I remember them being the bees knees back in 4th grade and I won't hear otherwise. 7th grade me also read a handful of Resident Evil novels and the first Doom book.

Mazerunner posted:Contrast to a really awesome r/b/y guidebook I had (not the one posted earlier, I think) that did poo poo like getting into 100 wild pokemon battles in every area for a good set of encounter rates, a full pokedex of level up and tm moves, stats at level 100 (probably not completely accurate since no one really new how that worked at the time, but they did note that pokemon raised from low levels by battle were stronger than those caught higher or raised by rare candy), actual strategies and sample teams (they all had mewtwo and like 4 mewtwo counters). That guide owned so many bones. I don't remember what the 5 were but they were all the same lovely pokemon. Magikarp or one of the cocoons I think.

Man 9 year old me with access to a gameshark had the most trouble with FF8 because of that. Hot off the heels of FF7 "quick level up" seemed like a code worth using. Boy was I wrong. I keep meaning to go back and replay it because understanding mechanics should make it a much easier game.

dpbjinc posted:The Yunalesca fight is pretty nasty with regard to status effects. At one point, she'll start healing herself. You either have to wait it out or cast reflect on her, in which case she'll just start casting spells at herself, which hit your party. This, of course, means that you'll need to heal more. But then she pulls out the zombie attack, which means that all healing items now hurt you. Oh, you can just get rid of that? Enjoy her third-phase instadeath move that hits everyone that's not a zombie that she can and will use whenever the hell she wants - and that always comes out right after she changes forms, regardless of the turn order. Also, that zombie attack does not-insignificant damage to add injury to the insult. I hope you remembered to build up your summons' Overdrives ahead of time, because they're sure as hell not lasting for more than two turns of her bullshit. Everything after the Final Aeon is a  level joke. Auto-life just shows up on the party after that fight so you can just hammer physical attacks all day and breeze through it.

Konami and PT is a good one. For anyone who doesn't know PT was a demo that went up on PSN by some random company. It was a hallway that ended up doing spooky poo poo and being super unnerving and then when you finished it SURPRISE it was a pitch for Silent Hills a Hideo Kojima/Guillermo del Toro collaboration starring the guy from Walking Dead. Well Kojima announced he was leaving Konami. Konami announced they were canceling Silent Hills and that the demo was getting pulled from PSN. Gamers read that as "oh we've purchased it so we can always get it whenever" and are mad that it's missing from the PSN now. Some people have been flipping PS4s for $1000 on eBay because gamers are terrible with money and easy to exploit. Looks like PT has an expiration date now too.

Grandmother of Five posted:Not really sure if this was a troll as such or an oversight that never got fixed, but in one of the FRIENDS FMV point & click adventure games; The One Where Joey Moves Out / The One Where Eddie Moves In, Phoebe's sort-of-evil twin sister, Ursula Pamela Buffay, has a cameo and if you try different items on her she will make unique, scornful and rather raucnhy remarks (Ursula used to work in pornography in the TV series. Yes, really). Anyway, if you present Ursula with any of the key items needed for Chandler to make up with Joey in the Chandler/Joey line, Ursula will take the item, stating that "her (referring to Phoebe) boytoy (referring to Joey) just lost his gaymate (referring to Chandler The real troll is that you won't share these games with the rest of us.

This was the 90s, not a lot of quality control on licensed games yet, "gaymate" was probably meant as a funny wordplay on the word "playmate" since Chandler was still thought of as possibly being homosexual at this point of the series). The real troll being that Ursula would take the item and lock out the best (true) ending of the Chandler/Joey line.

Grandmother of Five posted:Yeah, sorry, but ever since Home of the Underdogs took the FRIENDS: True FRIENDS series downloads down, I don't know where you'd find them. A bunch of games that were previously on HotU, but got taken down, like Die by the Sword and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, got re-releases on Great old Games fairly shortly after being pulled from HotU, so here is hoping for that happening, but I doubt it since FMV Point & Click Adventure Games were sort of a favourite of the original HotU admin, Sarinee Achavanuntakul, and I'm guessing a lot of those games just got lost in the site's transitions and revival attempts because of disinterest and neglect from the new site managers, rather than the download links being taken down due to requests from license holders wishing to do commercial re-releases. You could always do a screenshot LP

As usual with them, it included a grab bag of random cosmetic rewards. This time it included things like faction-appropriate ugly woolen sweaters, a hover-snowboard, a husky pet, and an outfit marked only as 'MacReady's Gear'. I haven't launched TSW in a long rear end time but I think you just sold me.

Joel Bylos was a thing dragging the game down something fierce. He left and the new person rebalanced combat to make it go quicker, made a couple run speed upgrades, put templates on the runs so you can have a hoverboard or a skate board, and has brought on some changes to long existing bugs. For me at least those changes came too late and I just can't be assed to play anymore which is a shame because I really love the story and would like to see how Tokyo ended but

Realistically if you have enough tree monsters anywhere could be a forest. I want to see that in a game. You visit this small forest town and they're like "the trees weren't always here. They just showed up one day  " then you go on a genocide spree and it's just an open field that used to be farmland.
