Hey, are you listening to a word I'm saying?

Same minus it being a jarring experience. I expect a weird time in a thread on the Something Awful Games forum.

Also the PS4 has been great fun, but in a way I'm hoping this is a lovely year for it so I can try out good games released in years prior to last year, provided Monster Hunter World doesn't monopolize my free time (it will).

I've enjoyed every games controller I've ever used except for the original Xbox 'Duke', way too large, having a black and a white button was just odd and the dpad was sub-par. Props to Microsoft for making the follow up controller actually decent and also linking up so well with PCs.

Nothing will beat the iconic impact of Square, Triangle, Circle, Cross though.

Since you mentioned it the Dukeshock there's d-pad is also holding me off jumping on right away. I need a fourth controller anyway though so if it's bad I'll give it to my least favorite friend I guess.

That xbox-style controller seems to be exactly what I've been looking for. I can't understand why they've made the dualshock so small, as you can't really get a good handle of it.

DS3 maybe, but I can't tell a size difference between the PS4 and Xbone controllers at all.

I prefer ds finger grip to xbox palm grip, i prefer xbox system buttons, i prefer ds convex sticks, etc but im not gonna act like i care when the game pulls me in

Nintendo threads were loving awful when it was the Wii U death zone and Zelda wank space, but yeah I think it's now harmless daydreaming about Dark Souls Switch (somehow real) and Mother 3 (hahaha).

The tone is way different when it's a game that hadn't even come out yet. See it was supposed to be the game that saved Nintendo and the Switch (and maybe sorta the Wii U while you're at it) so you had your typical Goon contrarianism mixed in with a lot of fantasizing (does anyone else remember all the people swearing up and down you would be able to customize between a male and female link?).

Cynical posting is why I usually start ignoring certain threads. I don’t mind over the top gushing over games, in fact I enjoy that, it’s fun! But when everyone goes all gloom and doom everything is terrible and sucks blahhhh I check right the gently caress out. Games are fun, I don’t like being negative about them. Criticism is fine but it never seems to end there without spiraling into bizarre hate. Unless the game in question is Evolve. Evolve is terrible and bad and should be poo poo on until it’s forgotten in time.

It's subjective and besides that odd speculation, I mean, they weren't wrong. Botw is one of the best games of all time.

It seriously harmed by enjoyment of Horizon when I played it after botw. I replayed horizon after long time doing ng+ and the dlc and had a much better time.

Right now you’re probably at the summit of the difficulty curve of Bloodborne, stick with it entertainment and gameplaywise it only gets better and better. Soon enough you’ll be flying through that area without batting an eyelid.
Translation: After endless grinding you will have discovered every surprise in that area and become so familiar with it that you sprint through the area ignoring it all together. Repeat until mental conditioning is finished and you realize Bloodborne is a flawless masterpiece.

Cine D's fine, it got all the old man's dominant genes, while Games got all the flawed, recessive genes...Games is just the leftovers of what they used to make Cine D. Can you understand what it's like to know that you're garbage since the day you were born?

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
I finally, finally pushed through 9S's bit in Nier Automata and now I'm in Route C and running around as A2, although the game keeps asking me to choose between her and 9S. Am I missing anything by sticking with her?

Also, is there like a secret item merchant somewhere to just buy all the poo poo I need to upgrade my weapons or would I have to grind it out?
