Pretty good with a controller. Little twitchy, but not as bad as 2001 on its best settings. The speed wheel, despite lack of FF and decent rumble, is surprisingly awesome with it. Seriously. If Daytona was the only game you could play with it, it would still be worth the $60.evlcookie said:

I don't even think that it came out at that price for retail, did it? I seem to think that most places were selling it for $79.95 upon release. Anyway, even though I already own it and could still pick it up for under $20 I'm willing to pay the premium for the convenience of playing it off of my harddrive.Shaneus said:
I agree with you, person on the internet of whom I have never met and am not now, nor have ever been reptilescorpio. My work hours have changed, I have less time to visit a couple of times during the day and sometimes don't get a chance in the evening of morning to look at this thread. HyperPosts are the only way to catch up.reptilescorpio said:
I remember back in the day (gather around children, an old man is talking) I was part of an email group. I forget what the old name of this technology was, but it got consumed by Yahoo and became YahooGroups. Anyway, you would send an email to a particular email address and that would distribute it to all the members.
The group had a rule which was that you weren't allowed to post multiple times per day and you had to HyperPost 9if you had multiple things to say). During it's heyday it received quite a number of posts and all the discussions were quite intelligent and involved.
tl;dr most emails sent to the group were gigantic ubernovels of discussion and ideas that would even make
Internet Detecting is a bannable offence. Keep on diggin' buddy and I'll make sure you go down with me. I mean us. I mean we won't go down because I, I mean we have done nothing wrong.Rahk said:
I don't think I agree. I think there is probably the same small percentage of people that get a movie day one much like with the gaming community. Having said that, I think this may have diminished slightly i recent years and it's moved to a day one download attitude. Much like the day one complete season DVD release of a series has been replaced with week by week TV Rip downloads of each episode.Fredescu said:
Apart from the points Fred and Choc have brought may I also posit this: it ensures all stores have the product in stock. As many larger chains get their shipments early by necessity, they have a greater opportunity to sell early. If they sell early this takes sales away from smaller shops which makes it harder for them to stay open which reduces competition which allows a store to charge whatever price they want.RandomVince said:
If you think the local prices are bad now, imagine what they could be if there is only one chain that the can buy them from.

I dare you to post that in the UC3 review thread.
OzGameShop doesn't, as I just found out with Batman. They shipped it on release date in England, with us being 10 hours ahead, that pretty much meant that they sent it at the end of release day for us, which was 2 or 3 days after most places started selling it over here. Le sigh, still no Batmans.reptilescorpio said:

My wife is out of town tonight which leaves me with an agonising choice:
Predator or Terminator 2?
Predator or Terminator 2?
It's not a small percentage with games. Week 1 at least is the best sales week for most games, and usually by a very wide margin. I admit to being completely ignorant of the sales patterns for DVDs. I also admit to being a little too happy that I was finally quoted in a megapost.Planet_JASE said:

While I will agree that the DVD market certainly has longer legs than the game market the first 3 to 4 weeks of a DVD's release window is similar.Fredescu said:
For example, sales for the recent Harry Potter film dropped 43% in the second week of it's release. The recent Transformers file debuted at #1 in it's first week with 716000 unit and two weeks later sold only 220 000. This is slightly more surprising when you think of the lack of social integration of DVDs, as far as multiplayer style functions go.
There's a few sites that deal with weekly sales of box office / DVD / Blu-ray. One I found was http://www.the-numbers.com.
I still can't come to terms with using it in FM4... just doesn't feel like I could get close to the times I get with a controller. It is a great peripheral, just a shame it doesn't detect tilt as well. Going left to right in Afterburner Climax is AMAZING, but there's no way to go up or downBernbaum said:
But yeah, with Daytona, it works really, really well. Gave the accel/brake max sensitivity for the triggers and kept the gear changes on the face buttons. Force feedback setting doesn't seem to make any difference, but there are heaps of corners that require a slight turn which just aren't possible with the 360 pad's analogue stick.

Definitely going to EB on my lunch break!
Anyway, I need a new phone, sub $200, unlocked so I can jam my old SIM in there. Ozbargins says vodaphone stores have some kind of crazy-ass sale going on that's not yet being advertised or whatever for discontinued stock, so that might be my best bet, but what does Ausgaf recommend?
You pretty much hit the nail on the head and a lot of what you said matched some of the conversations that happened in the office yesterday and this morning.Choc said:
Not only will this kind of thing end midnight launches (which is a damn shame, because I really enjoy them) but it'll be the end of us getting games day and date (or even ahead of time like NSMB Wii) with overseas. If we can't be 'trusted' to stick to a street date then we're going to go back to waiting a few weeks after the US releases, which just means more imports, which lowers local orders, which means some games don't get local releases at all.
Which probably won't affect anyone in this thread, but still.
November 7 to 11 is gonna be really interesting.
Thanks! I totally forgot I didn't do a comic last night, Daytona will do that to a man.codswallop said:

No no, You never go 4 - 3 - 4. The secret to success is 4 - 1 - 4 around that first corner.
You also never go 4 - 2 - 4 around any of the rest of the corners. What you use is a secret! (well not really) but i'm going to pretend like it is, until i get the game and beat people's times, then it's yours for free! ( again, not really)
I'm enjoying Arkham City now that I've passed that tricky boss. I don't like the pure trial and error method though. Doesn't feel as organic as say metal gear, Zelda or metroid boss battles. I'll probably grab it on Wii u too. Its only a minor quibble. The next boss battle was excellent though. That forced variety did play like an mgs3 boss battle. Sort of like the fear.
Still don't get why catwoman was put in a pass. You never use her.

Usually just means you need to forward a few ports to your xbox IP, or even just make the xbox a DMZ (really not a huge issue, as long as you set a static IP for your xbox's MAC address). I can go through it with you on steam chat some time to get it all working if you want.
