Found a guy on Craigslist selling his PS3, 3 controllers, and a shitload of games for $160. The PS3 looks like it's in great shape and I could use the spare controllers. Trying out Demon's Souls on PS Now made me wanna play it for real very badly. :v:

edit: Here's the full list of games copied/pasted right from the listing


The only games in there I own are the Uncharteds on my PS4 so it's definitely a net gain for me.

That sounds like a stolen PS3 with the price and the amount of sealed copies.

I'm legitimately shocked Konami has someone staffing an English twitter account. Pachinko doesn't sell on the states, so why bother?

I had to stop listening to CoolGames Inc once Griffin thought that his ironic vore fetish was comedy gold and new episodes ended up being him moaning and slurping into the microphone about how great a game where Shrek eats you would be.

That puts the amiibo corner and his Mario level into a gross new light.

I thought the reason they didn't release XCOM 2 on consoles in the first place was because nobody bought the first game on PS3/360?

Microsoft: No clue, but hopefully an explanation of what their future plans are. Maybe they'll start making pc/console hybrids that just run windows 10. Will probably have the premiere of Dead Rising 4, even though it'll likely be multiplat.

Sony: PS4K, Deep Down, Last Guardian, Kingdom Hearts 3, FFXV, Probably an actual gameplay walkthrough of Horizon Zero Dawn where they show off actual mechanics and crafting, maybe more of their VR thing.

Nintendo: Zelda, Mario, Monster Hunter, New Handheld and/or NX.

Didn't Nintendo say there would be no NX at the show? Other than that i'm liking your predictions!

Real hurthling! posted:

my bets

Microsoft - attempts at providing clarity on wtf xbox will be going forward and a reason to buy into their hardware if they really are going 100% pc support. A few new games, more trailers for the games they announced years ago and still haven't made.

Sony - a case will be made to get people to buy into vr possible AAA attempts at vr games may finally make an appearance. a huge price drop on ps4 to soften the blow of ps4k, many new games

Nintendo - Zelda and Pokemon


I'm really liking this Microsoft prediction. I predict this prediction 100% accurate.

I'm gonna leave for an anime convention in like 5 hours and I only just realized that I should have totally dressed up as this random motherfucker from the Fuan no Tane horror manga thing




Fuan no Tane can be pretty hit or miss since pretty much all of it is just "random stuff that may or may not be creepy" and a lot of them just kinda end without any real resolution, for better or for worse, like that one ending right with him just shouting "LET'S PLAY" over and over

"Eyewitness" is one that has always stuck with me, for years. Something about it just gets me.

AR and VR both have a lot of interesting practical applications, it's just that consumer versions tend to be either cost limited or in the case of games unable to deal with real world movement.

I think that the Crash Bandicoot remasters will look weird; crash doesn't look right when he's not polygonal.

I kinda wish companies would be more willing to leave in the blocky polygonal look, just with updated / cleaner textures and wide-screen support.

I find it strange that it's the first time call of duty is doing something interesting and new for the series in a very long time



and yet this has been the response


That was for the original trailer which made it seem like ghosts 2 : ghosts in space

The reaction to the e3 demo was much much better, given that they show off some of the actual interesting combat and plane sections.

I hope the overall response doesn't end up being lukewarm, I would like a call of duty game that revitalizes mutliplayer shooters some instead of just being a call of duty game

The movement options they've added in the latest games have absolutely changed those games for the better: I cannot imagine playing a Call of Duty without the jump jets / slides. Going back to WW2 or whatever would be a real bad move imo but with people starting to burn out on future combat I'm not sure where they can go next

Maybe ww2, but there are aliens and your guy steals an alien rocket pack or whatever

Mighty No 9 has a bunch of voiced cutscenes but there's no actual facial animation so it's just people with blank expressions gesturing in a loop. And it ends with a sequel hook.

This game raised enough money with one Kickstarter to make four Katamari Damacys.

I mean that was to be expected given how hard Inafune has been pushing for this to become a franchise, what with the cartoon, but :lol: the stones on that dude

The capitalism series is also good, as is Reccetear for a newer more anime game. Prison architect is also good and fun.

http://www.vg247.com/2016/06/21/keiji-inafune-says-mighty-no-9s-launch-version-is-better-than-nothing/

quote:

“The reality is they put everything into making this game,” Inafune explained on a livestream. “They didn’t try to microtransaction it out, they didn’t try to DLC it out for extra money. They put it all in. So, for now, this is what you see and what you get, for the Mighty No. 9 world. But, again, we can hope that if things go well, there’ll be sequels. Because I’ll tell you what, I’m not getting my 2D side-scrolling fill. And at the end of the day, even if it’s not perfect, it’s better than nothing. At least, that’s my opinion.”

It's incredibly rude to paint the project lead as a con man just because the game didn't turn out the way you want.

Maybe it's because he tried to franchise the game before it even launched


Or started a second nostalgia based kickstarter before the game for the first one came out (I don't remember if this was before or after the first delay)

Hey maybe it was the second kickstarter for mn9 that might be coloring his opinion on the matter

Or the fact that when the game finally came out his summation of it was "it's better than nothing"
