They need to fix bounties for Diablo 3. People still don't complete them in groups and the meta achievement requires like 2500 finished bounties which is way too much.

Supposedly reworked bounties are coming with the opening of the Diablo 2 areas.

They're making a physics based POG Championship game that's loaded with Free to Play Bullshit.

Well through some miracle I was able to re-establish online functions to Wii-games since most of them seem to have everything stored on the disc itself.

I then proceeded to decimate monster hunter 3 Tri via lan with a few people because nobody ever beat it.

Granted 3 Ultimate makes everything redundant, but it doesn't have that awesome city. And we didn;t stop until everyone had two sets of Alatreon armor and all of the fully upgraded weapons.

It's thanks to the nerd store though that I have obscure rear end games like Legaia 2. So at least there's that. BUT NO SHADOW HEARTS

Even back when Gamestop was selling PS2 games, Shadow Hearts was a title that was kind of a pain to get a hold of.

I remember I had to go into a Gamestop that had a stairway leading down to it because the store was located under street level. And I walked into a big spider web, and that remains to this day the only time I've walked into a big spider web while going to the store.


It was one of Midway's few published RPGs.

But you know what Robot Alchemic Drive is probably even more of a pain to get a complete copy of now. Meanwhile poo poo like Jade Cocoon 2, Grandia 2 and 3, Dragon Quarter, Radiata Stories, and many other JRPGs can be gotten for dirt cheap.

The blowback from the new Rayman IOS game is amazing. :allears:

You know all that poo poo you could do for free in Rayman origins and Legends? You know like limitless continues? Everything is charged money now and it apparently made a ton of people angry because there's a ton of land of the livid dead gently caress YOU sections that you need time to memorize.

This is probably going to wind up being bigger than Assassin's Creed not working correctly.

I don't think you get it, it took me 2 hours of dying before I was able to beat Land of the Livid Dead.

For this game nearly every stage had some contrived bullshit to block you to the point where you need the buyable items.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tkepcWyB9U this is land of the livid dead from origins, this is how on the ball you need to be. The IOS game apparently doesn't flow nicely like Legends did and really soured a ton of people who wanted a real third installment.

I had no idea that the Splatterhouse reboot contained the entire Splatterhouse series on the disc. Like drat it's 4 games in total and the game is going for under 5 bucks. This also saves me the trouble of tracking down a TG16.

I also think I'm finished buying all the worthwhile xbox 360 exclusives. Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts along with everything 360 related was being liquidated at stores. I've got under 200 games for the Xbox and Xbox 360 combined it's a rather small library compared to the Nintendo, Sega, and Sony systems.

I never beat RE4 because Leon got Decapitated and somehow became unkillable and didn't die which bugged out the game and made it impossible to beat.

The malicious prank of "swatting" -- calling in false emergencies that send swarms of heavily armed cops to a school or home -- is often perpetrated by X-Box gamers who occasionally hijack peoples' Twitter or Facebook accounts and refuse to release them unless the victims make a swatting call, according to an affidavit filed in federal court.

The affidavit cites the case of Matthew Tollis, of Wethersfield, Connecticut, who is accused of taking part in seven swatting calls. Tollis was allegedly part of a group that threatened to bomb the University of Connecticut, attack the home of an individual in Connecticut, create false threats to school across the country, and in one ghoulish call told police that a man with an assault rifle was headed to the new Sandy Hook Elementary School, the scene of a notorious massacre of staff and first graders.

Tollis claimed to federal investigators that he began taking part in the swatting calls after he was targeted online by hackers who "doxed" him, a tactic of posting online all of his personal information, including Social Security numbers and passwords, and "pizza bombing" him, sending large numbers of pizzas to his house which he then had to pay for, according to the federal document.

“Tollis explained that he began to look for ways to protect himself and his family from online abuse,” FBI investigators wrote in the federal affidavit obtained by ABC News. He told the FBI he joined a group of gamers who called themselves “TeAM Crucifix or Die” (TCOD) because “it would discourage others from bullying him.”

The group's membership allegedly includes gamers who live in the United Kingdom and use names like Verified, Jordy and Declaws, the affidavit states. Tollis used the name Hxrbor, according to the document.

Tollis, 21, was arrested Sept. 3, for his alleged role in the April 3 swatting call that claimed there was a bomb at the University of Connecticut. He is charged with three counts connected to the UConn incident as well as three counts of federal conspiracy and aiding and abetting.

Tollis' attorney Jeremy Weingast had no comment on Friday before Tollis was due in federal court.

When he was interviewed by investigators, Tollis said he was involved in a total of seven swatting calls, including calls to a high school in Texas, two in New Jersey and one in Florida, the document states. There were also threats made against Boston University and the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. Tollis denied making the calls himself, "but admitted that he had laughed in the background of the calls,” the affidavit states.

He also told investigator he knew about a host of others that the group allegedly perpetrated, including the call regarding Sandy Hook Elementary School, the document states.

“I was scared of being their next target so I did not inform the Authorities of their Actions,” Tollis wrote in the statement, according to the affidavit. “I stood by and watched as resources were wasted for hoax calls. I did so out of fear and regret associating myself with these people."

The federal affidavit, filed Sept. 9 in U.S. District Court in New Haven, Conn., said "the group primarily consists of Microsoft X-Box players or gamers." It described how a victim of doxing may have their personal identity details publicized or have their Twitter account taken over with the hackers "extorting individuals seeking to regain control of their Twitter accounting by requiring the individual to, among other things, send nude photos of themselves or calling the police to report an incident that would require specialized units like SWAT or the bomb squad to respond (swatting,)" the affidavit states.



I don't see why he would be afraid, any sort of round looks like it would bounce right off him.

Oh sure Atlus claim that Persona 5 has an all new cast and then drop the Megaton bomb that the Persona 4 cast shows up about 1/4th of the way through and they're like in their 30's and are basically the Ghostbusters but run by Chie who is wearing Arnold's Clothes from Terminator 2 and the entire P5 cast just becomes Vaan from Final Fantasy 12.

Persona 5 is just Persona 4 part 4. Do Not believe the lies.
