FYI the depth issues in Dolphin are somewhat fixed now to the point where you can actually play Spider-Man 2...if anybody's interested in swinging around Manhattan again

I can't remember who was asking about Luke Cage comics, but or what thread they were asking in, and but Marvel Unlimited just added a bunch of Iron Fist, Power Man, and Power Man and Iron Fist.

Rhyno, you might be the only person in history who's managed to break a Gamecube. Incidentally, since you get early comics, have you read the new Doom Patrol? I'm finishing the Morrison omnibus right now, about to start that X-Force parody, move on to Flex Mentallo and make the Young Animal thread

I had one of those Genesis and Sega CD consoles that was both of them combined into one that my parents sold for $5 at a garage sale. I hope the fuckers that bought it are now enjoying the ~$500 they apparently go for on ebay.

I broke two gamecubes actually, but I managed to get replacements for cheap because it was still the early 2000s.

I don't think I have any consoles. My brother took them all with him when he and some of his friends were renting a place in university, and I haven't seen them since. Only games I play these days are on Steam, in any event. I feel like a new console is something I'd invest in if and when I ever get my own place (probably a couple of years yet before I'm in a position where I can do that) but between the console and the games themselves, gaming seems like a really expensive hobby.

I like my XBOne, and while I'm probably gonna get a PS4 at Xmas for Uncharted, I can't fathom how the PS4, even if it is the better console, ended up getting the bigger share based on how lovely the PS3 UI and how slow and crappy the online elements were. Like, who had a PS3 and a 360 and went "Yup, I want to trust the one where I have to wait a full 5 minutes before I can even browse the store" (This salt may partly stem from me trying to actually use my PS3 to download something last night) Gaz-L fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Sep 6, 2016 |

I dunno if you remember the E3 that consisted entirely of Sony making fun of Microsoft's terrible and anti-consumer business practices, concluding with the most fire-emoji level dunk E3 has ever seen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWSIFh8ICaA But that's how the PS4 got a bigger share of the market.

Eh. I don't buy many used games and am also all digital now. I've actually gotten games I own physical versions of AGAIN in digital because fishing the disc out even though the game is on my HDD is lame. So... um, yay Sony for pushing a feature I don't care about, and charging £15 a month for the other feature people actually wanted. (back-compat)

Microsoft made the same mistake coming off the 360 that Sony made coming off of the PS2. They got it in their heads that they had won the previous console generation because they were just that much better than their competitors, so all their dumb new ideas that were actively hostile towards their end users and hugely counterproductive were actually brilliant decisions that people would happily accept. The sheer number of things they've had to retract or abandon entirely makes the pre-launch Xbox One practically a different console altogether.

Also I mean, their UI is horrendous too. It was built from the ground up to be utilized primarily via Kinect, and was forced to be changed to be Kinectless within literal months once Microsoft reversed on the "always plugged in Kinect" policy. So, even now, it's a confluence of tiles and bullshit that's slow as gently caress and impossible to navigate quickly or concisely.

Which ideas? I can count 1, the thing where the disc was basically a licence key and you could then just download the game whenever on your account. Which isn't anti-consumer so much as it's anti-Gamestop. And I dunno. I like the Xbox UI a hell of a lot more than the stupid XMB.

Everyone screamed at them for about 6 months and then they backed off of it hard. There was a pretty amazing situation where a Microsoft employee was making fun of people who had a problem with the 'feature' on his twitter, implying if you were too poor to have a 24/7 stable internet connection you shouldn't be playing video games at all.

It also led to the famous instance where the executive in charge of their entire games division responded to the reasonable question of what people who live in rural areas or people deployed in third world nations without stable internet should do and he said, quote, "We have a product for them, it's called the Xbox 360."
