Support NeoGAF

[zkylon]

Yup. Definitely do that as Dolphin/Wii support works best with the Wiimote. You'll also need the sensor bar(if you don't already have one).

do i need all of that for it?

it's like 65usd (with argietax), so still pretty lame

 

[lashman]

hmmm ... looks like Shadownet and Ozium got banned

Apparently, you can also use LEDs as a substitute for the bar. I've never tried that method. PC gear is pretty rad in how you can get things to work. A bluetooth receiver with bluesoleil software was what I used for the Wiimote with Other M.

Weird, I wonder what for? Both of them look like they haven't really posted anywhere but the Steam thread recently, and I don't see anything in here that would get them banned.

Doesn't referring to someone as a cunt get you banned?

 

[Dr Dogg]

Over here you can pick up a 'Wireless' sensor bar (in other words a battery powered piece of plastic with a couple of infrared led's in either end) for 99p in the various offshoots of Poundland, Poundstrecher, 99p Stores etc.

It is a very rudimentary detection system. One could use two candles in lieu of a bar, irrc.

Aww, I never got to see the Deags at Dawn battle!

Hope it is a short slap on the wrist for all the drama turnout and nothing longer.

Maybe just a short enforced break to cool off? The episode earlier was a bit unfortunate, and it's a shame it wasn't sorted out via PMs instead.

The redesigned version of Higurashi When They Cry (ch. 1) has a store page.



Still looks hideous.

They sure ran the backgrounds through some terrible filter.

Overall art for the girls is good though IMO.
One for Milamber though

ban's a month and a half edit: never mind that, fucking cunt shadownet can't read. ban's only a month

pretty harsh if you ask me

i do love me some drama but people should learn to stop when they're winning

hmm well the prices he's telling me about are not too different from the ones i have here so i'll just pass

i'll just borrow the things from a friend

pretty nice

The sensor bar is literally just a few LED lights so that's why. I've even managed to get it working using candles instead of LEDs.

Bloomers are a miracle of the universe and should not be considered NSFW.

 

[Arthea]

Over the last 2 weeks for some bizarre reason my junk listings of backgrounds and emotes have slowly but surely been selling on the market. I had about 130 odd listings around mid November and I'm now at 96. No idea why now as they have all been 3p. So unless some peeps are buying them for christmas pressies or the hope of doing something with them in the next sale I have no idea. Sorry in advance is someone gets you a crappy background or emote for Christmas.

It might have something to do with rumoured scrapping items for booster packs, because if it's true, those items aren't useless anymore.

Why is Higurashi episodical? That makes no sense, it's a Finnish game, or am I missing something?

Can you call a game a plaftormer if it only has automatic jumping?

In my experience, that's not really such an unusual art choice.

I'm just hyped that we are getting Higurashi on Steam, and in a version which isn't repulsive to look at.

well people call the hold forward sections in uncharted platforming so nothing's sacred anymore

If I'm not mistaken, they got banned for the same stuff during the summer, so I could see the mods getting harsher if they can't manage to behave themselves.

 

[Lain]

Did you pre-order the game in the store?

Spoiler

Or have you bought a Russian key? o.o

Directly from the Steam store. Trading isn't for me, especially now.

 

[dex3108]

Eh for me it's hardly anything to get self righteous or mad about (not saying you are but a quick trip to various message boards some folks certainly are). I mean I've got countless other games to play, the majority of my playtime this year has been late ports and asides from the first 2 GTA has set a precedent of being 5-9 months behind on PC as it is. Couple that with delays to the initial launch date, problems with the Online component, stuff still missing from it as well, current gen versions getting announced meaning shipping 5 SKU's in a short time period (and possibly one of the reasons for the earlier delay of last gen). It might seem like they're stretching the releases out to get folks to double or triple dip and yeah with only announcing and releasing one batch and then neither confirm or deny current gen or PC versions are being worked on might add credence to that but it's been painfully obvious that a PC version was on the cards and in the works. Plus if the extra time in the oven means Rockstar can finally release a GTA game on PC that isn't littered with bugs and performance issues for current hardware then it's definitely been worth the wait.

Nah R* is big enough company to release game on multiple platforms at once. And it is not only GTA V anymore. Removing songs and updating San Andreas for worse, removing songs from Vice city was handled better but new updates are raising concern that they will remove songs even for old sub, when GFWL ending was announced R* stayed silent for GTA IV etc. They really don't care about PC that much and it is sad that other companies are bashed when they delay PC version for week or month and yet when R* delays game for 1+ year nobody cares.

Yeah the PS2 sprites are bland as fuck.

Well I'm getting 1p per item so it all depends on how many items you need to craft to make a booster and how much that booster could then sell for. Let's say it take 20 items or less which then spits out a boost you can market for 25p and get back 21p (I think that's about right) so you'd be up 1p in that instance and a lesser amount of items. Now if it was over 20 then you could be losing out in that hypothetical. As the wonky proverb goes 'look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves' which is kind of true as my wallet balance is getting topped up.

Oh come on games are not set to one size of scope and a GTA is fucking masses and masses more work than what other open world games are let alone something like a corridor shooter. It's not our place to dictate how big a company they are and how many platforms they release on that's for their parent and investors to decide. And let's be honest PC has not been their priority since GTA 2 so it's not like this is some recent betrayal.

i'm trying to not sound foolish in a conversation

yeah, that's understandable

igavanias specifically refers to the castlevanias that iga made. (SotN, and then a bunch on GBA and DS).

 

[InfiniteNine]

Well they keep a log of the circumstances for which they were banned and it's weighed against future bans if it's repeated behavior.

I'll stab you! I understand Higurashi but Umineko is more than serviceable plus the PS3 sprites are really bland in expression.

 

[Arthea]

I hope Steins Gate follows Higurashi's example and get on steam finally, so we can have one of the best VNs ever,

preferably with cards, backgrounds, cheevos and all that sweet stuff

I also wonder what are our chances of getting mobile 999 ported to steam.

isn't that more of historical thing than really bad art, I mean, it is bad, but I seem to remember that there was such style going around some time ago, like really long ago.

wait what? You kidding? or are you referring to agreement that was mentioned some time ago. I thought it can be changed with time.

not sure I understand what you mean, it is on mobile, that's why I think we might get it ported on steam, because I don't see us getting it in any other way.

So what was the really super important Origin news that we all had to be there or be square? Looks like a Massive Action Sale with just a few more bits and bobs from their Black Friday sale. Oh and you can buy The Witcher III on Origin now.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Well they said their current contract with the original pubs didn't allow it so we'd have to wait for it to expire to see what will happen in the future.

Also I notice is that the new Higurashi sprites clash with the filtered BGs way more than the old ones because of how they're colored. I'm wondering why they didn't redraw those?

I don't really see that. The original BGs were clashing with the character art just as much. Maybe it's more obvious now because you're not being distracted by the fascinatingly terrible character art
