Noooo! I was editing my post and I clicked save but none of it actually got through.


Anyone heard this non sound FX recording of Windy Hill from Lost World yet? I quite like it.

Yep! Someone did an extended version of it too!

Okay, the DRM reversal seems to have brought all the crazies out of the woodwork or something; @NeoGAFShitPosts gained, like, 50 posts in the span of a few hours, only a few hours ago.

People actually wanted their physical games to have a shelf life (bitrot notwithstanding). What the hell?
I kept telling myself "some people are just pissed at the loss of the family sharing feature" but no, I keep reading and reading and I've slowly realized people really want DRM. They want Microsoft to control them, they want to lose their consumers rights. I... I just don't understand how these people function. Absolutely insane. I guess people like being part of the problem.

I'm so so glad Microsoft got rid of the DRM restrictions.... I hope it's permanent. I can't help but feel they have something else awful (not probably not as bad) up their sleeve.


3. Pokemon Battle Revolution: The Wheel of Hades

Even though this isn't one of my top 3 worst games BUT THIS GAME RIGHT HERE pissed me off too. It was a major disappointment to anyone that enjoyed the Stadium games. Everything we loved about the Stadium games are either missing or stripped down.

It was extremely tedious to play through for the same reasons you've mentioned (even with the receptionist blahing on about how to use the menu. YES, WE KNOW HOW TO PLAY, STOP TELLING US THESE THINGS.) One of the few games where I can use a cheat device and not feel a shred of guilt because all of the crap I had to deal with. I'm glad because nothing was worth it in the end. The trainer customization was still lacking despite unlocking everything. Never again.

They need to do a portable Sonic games Collection
Yes please! I also want them to include the Master System versions of each portable game and even do a port of Triple Trouble in Master System format! (I've played a hack of Triple Trouble that's playable on the Master System. A bit visually glitchy on the areas where you can't normally see with the Game Gear's res but it was neat overall.

Everyone needs a break
Yeah. I definitely needed a few days worth of a break. Even though I've still lurked, I was still in a much better mood.

Welcome back!
Thank you!
 
The Last of Us is the best new game I've played since Rayman Origins in 2011. Ya'll should play it. If can't afford $60 game, redbox it. Don't have a PS3, steal one.
 
My apathy for The Last of Us knows no bounds. I don't even know what the premise is, beyond "man and young girl go through post-apocalyptic world". What caused the apocalypse? Are there zombies? Were those guys who got shot in the face in the 2012 showing zombies? I don't know, but only because I don't really care! It's gonna sell gangbusters and get accolade after accolade without me, anyway.
 
Last of Us is on my "to buy" list. A few other games take priority, though.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

HERE WHEN?!?! GODDAMMIT REGGIE

Well, there was only a week's wait between the JP and US releases for Mario Golf, so maybe they'll pull the same thing here.

There was apparently a lengthy Lightning Returns interview in last week's Famitsu that went completely untranslated... because no one cared enough to translate it.

Lightning returns and no one cares. :lol

The weirdest part is how she makes no facial expression at all during it. Whatever character she had in XIII has been sucked out by Toriyama long since.




Hey, so, now that I've had a chance to breathe post S2K6, I want to talk about The End of the World. All in all, here are the parts I found most awful:

EVERYTHING.

As Tails it was the fact that after using Omega's broken flight mechanics, I was unused to the fact that the character who had brought flight to the Sonic franchise has the worst flight mechanics in the entire game. Seriously, Knuckles, Rouge, and Omega all fly better than Tails. So his awful and loose controls caused me to die more than once making that last turn across the gap to the emerald. Also his section always put the safety orbs practically inside a black hole, guaranteeing death if you tried to get 'em.

Omega wasn't so bad aside from the ridiculous red black holes launching boxes at you repeatedly as you tried to fly.

Knuckles and Rouge's segments were terrible because the emerald was never easily located the first time, costing valuable lives in the search for it.

Shadow's was only bad because the homing attack is the worst thing that has ever happened to Sonic's moveset ever.

Amy Rose' was not bad.

SILVER THE FUCKING FUCKHOG was where things got retarded. His psychic powers have an absurd tendency to crap out one second before you land on your target. That goddamn climb up the retractable platforms is made worse by the inevitable death ball. Death balls showed up no less than two seconds after touching the safety orbs.

But you know why it was bull shit? Because there's a fucking black hole at the top of the tower, and it pulls you directly into some sand that is sinking sand. Mind you you won't have psychic juice when you get there, and even if you did, what would it matter because Silver can't use his psychic powers to move up apparently.

Oh man that spot was the worst.
 
So I just finished playing/streaming Earthbound for the first time... so a fucking bee, from ten years in the future, can deal 100+ damage to an alien invader, but gets swatted by a pudgy housewife and dies automatically? What the hell?

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!! I'm downloading NSMBU: Green.

Although, thanks for being super vague, Nintendo! When I went to purchase it, it said "The software isn't up to date", shouldn't it say "Start New Super Mario Bros. U from the main menu and select the update process before downloading this DLC."?

Well, the list is about games you've beaten! (legitimately)

Really is a step down from anything they've made, really. Least the same guy who composed Colosseum's and XD's GODLIKE (I'm not kidding, those two have AMAZING OSTs) did this music.

Gateway Colosseum - Pokémon Battle Revolution

That music is so good it makes me want to slap your Pokemon.

Real talk, though, if you use cheats to unlock everything and just want to 3D battle people online, it's good enough for that at least. (until you fight teams of 6 Mewtwos...lol)
Hahaha. I remember people telling me to buy this so I could play Pokemon DP online with randoms, and saying it was a good expansion to the game. These were the same people praising Secret Rings.

lol....

How did I missed this post? I think the same exact thing happened to me too!

Goddd... I think I even paid PBR full price too :x

NSMBU Red Version NSMBU Green Version

Yellow Version will star Wario and Waluigi. YEAR OF WARIO WAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Here's one song I really liked from PBR: Neon Colosseum. I have no idea if the roulette system in that colosseum was any good, but I remember just putting in a team of nothing but magikarps and laughed my butt off when the enemy team had mostly magikarps. :) (this was one of the few parts of the game where I didn't use cheat codes at all, this was back before I had homebrew)

I woke up from a 4-hour nap and I feel awful for having slept that long. When Noi and I were watching the Lightning Returns footage last week, there were plenty of frowns to go around. One of them directed towards that very gif.

I'd play The Last of Us, but I still have to play the Uncharted games. And I still have to redo lots of shit in Ni no Kuni. >.>

Corvo, I take it that you loved Sonic 2006 soooooo much? (Teehee) I hated the Silver part of End of the World, myself. I think everyone did, for that black hole you specifically mentioned. It was such a damn kick to the face when you were about to complete the stupid thing, and then that stupid thing appears. Fucking bad level design. The game's filled with bad level design, but End of the World takes the cake.

And man, I wish I were more invested into Pokemon to completely get the BR post, but various people have told me that it's a damn awful game.

The hell is she doing?
I don't even know anymore.

A couple of questions about Sonic 2:
1- In Casino Night there are bars that offer you 10 points when you jump off of them, I always assumed these were chilli dogs. Assuming they are; how did Chilli dogs becoming Sonic's fav. food come up?

2- Am I the only one who can't control Super Sonic in Sonic 2? I can never really control him well enough to finish Wing Fortress, he always felt too fast for me.

I thought I was the only one who thought they were chili dogs as a kid... But looking back, they're definitely not, so what the heck are they I wonder?

Geez, so many people on Gaming Side making threads asking about Sonic games; why don't they just come in here and ask us instead of me having to actively avoid those threads in fear of having to read really stupid comments?

Because no one really touches the community tab. That's up to their discretion to do so.

Let 'em make threads about it. It's a good thing that more people are trying to experience the games, good or bad.

2- Am I the only one who can't control Super Sonic in Sonic 2? I can never really control him well enough to finish Wing Fortress, he always felt too fast for me.
I dunno. I usually felt like he was fine in Wing Fortress most of the time. Then again, I really like using Super Sonic in that game. Which version are you playing?

To be fair, though, I'm so used to playing the game on the Genesis with that controller, lol.

Anything went in the 90s. Shit didn't make sense, but damn it looked cool.

And man, I still genuinely dislike those MMXtreme games, qq more.

Yeah, pretty much this. Helps that Sonic threads on Gaming side are surprisingly bearable now, too.

What is up with people making threads about playing the weaker Sonic games? Are people trying to be masochists or wanting to read impressions just for the lulz?

Mainly the PS3 and PS2 ports @_@

Hee hee hee. Seriously, I'm crackin' up here. I needed that today. Thanks.

Gonna fight Ni no Kuni's imitation of a wind elemental Snorlax now. Why I'm still doing these fights, I will never know. Probably because I spent so much time doing them last weekend.

I kinda think so. I think they just want to know how bad Sonic games got for a while last decade. I think renewed interest in the series is a genuine good thing, regardless of the games that they're making threads about.

And the PS3/PS2 ports probably aren't the best indicators of how Sonic handles in those game, imo. Too bad. I hope they re-release Sonic 1 iOS/Sonic 2 iOS/Sonic 3 Complete digitally on consoles and handhelds one day. That'd be great, since I like how Sonic handles in Sonic 1 iOS quite a bit with Bluestacks.
 
how do i shot buster

Megaman Xtreme would've been played by me, if I were not more interested in playing RPGs on the GBC. Dragon Warrior 3 was more my speed then.
