Chat thread, I only really feel like buying one game today, and I have narrowed it down to:

Tokyo Mirage Fire Emblem Sessions
Deus Ex 2

I mean I'll get both eventually (especially since my wife really likes SMT) but...

Tokyo Mirage Sessions has a much smaller chance of being re-released as a Director's Cut edition with all the DLC, so I'd go with that. Also, if all other factors are equal, choose the one that your partner wants. That's just a good life tip.

Real hurthling!

deus ex is really great but it will be a lot more satisfying when the other half of it comes out in 2 years

Yep wait on DE. I decided a few months ago to not buy games until the megadeluxe directors extreme game of the century edition is released for ten bucks. This decision has been working out really well for me!

Man, I hate GamerGate. I really do yall. But I just have no idea how that game exists. It is so terrible, it's like some kind of rip in the fabric of space and time. I have no clue how Brianna Wu or anyone who supports her could look at that and say "yes, this is a quality product".

yeah your options for backwards compat are:

put the chips from the last console inside your new console and increase cost and size or compromise on the new consoles parts

manually create an emulation layer for every game you want to play on your new console

both are poo poo and consoles with backwards compatibility are in the minority because of this

well, in most cases. They've gotta be flagged to be able to run on the system. As a result, I can play Dracula X Chronicles on my Vita, but I can't play it on PSTV. Likewise, I can't play Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops on Vita or PSTV. It's annoying the way they work that way. :(

Gearbox took down the atomic edition of duke 3D?

And their new duke thing doesn't even have all of the expansions atomic edition had??

I knew that the upcoming duke thing was going to feature some redone spritework or something, a new expansion by some of the old level designers, and other stuff like that but I didn't know gearbox was being so lovely as to exclude content and keep people from buying said content and marking up the price that much in addition to not offering a loyalty discount (I mean, it isn't required of them to offer a loyalty discount but it'd certainly help considering that it isn't even an entirely new game, just mostly an old game ported to a new engine I guess and with a few new levels)

It's the opposite for psp games, actually, but Konami specifically asked that all their games be blacklisted. it's psvita on pstv games that have to be individually whitelisted.

Some of you may know that Game Grumps like Kirby's Dream Course. Recently they started playing a fan-made Grump-themed hack of the game with about 150 new, original holes. Whether you like Game Grumps or not, this is a huge loving deal if you like Kirby's Dream Course at all.

You can get the patch here.

the amount of detail involved with this is legitimately impressive. I was never a fan of Dream Course, but the work these people put into the game shows how much they love Game Grumps and Kirby's Dream Course. Very cool.

The basic story is that the Game Grumps had a blast when they played the original game, so these fans decided to make a hack so they would have even more levels to play.

Because the Grumps were like "aw man it's a shame there aren't more levels" and so a bunch of people made this thing just for them.
