Support NeoGAF

[corrosivefrost]

if it's going to happen, it'll happen once it's pretty clear that the WiiU is no longer being actively supported by nintendo. I dont see them signing off on Bayo2 going elsewhere before then.

With NX imminent and WiiU sales being lackluster, it might be sooner than you think, if that's the key factor holding it back...

And if that's the case, L.O.R.D. might have a point that Bayonetta hasn't been ported/released cause SEGA is going for the 1-2 punch.

Highly unlikely, but it's good to dream every once in awhile.

Is any of the Child of Light dlc worth getting? It looks mostly like shortcut stuff.

Well, do you want shortcuts?

The golems pack adds a short sidequest and a new party member, must have imho:

Those aurora packs contain two skills for your character, also worth getting imho:

Oh cool, Read Only Memories is finally out. Time for some more (hopefully good) cyberpunk.

In 1996 I won a regional science competition by incorporating the scientific method to evaluate, rank, and prove the usefulness of internet search engines such as Magellan, Infoseek, Yahoo, Lycos, and Altavista. The prize included a full four year scholarship, although I turned it down to attend a more prestigious university where I was also awarded a full scholarship through academics. I was 14.

Yes, I've always been a nerd. And yes, I had a Geocities "page".

Well I don't know what makes me more depressed. The contrast that in 96 I spent most of my last year in school bunking off by saying I have (fake) job interviews, although I got very good grades and accepted into all three 3 colleges I had an interview with (beauty of being an art student is that your portfolio does the talking) I chose the shitest one due to finding out the pub up the road would serve us despite being under age or the fact I've just worked out I'm slightly older than you

I never asked for this, Sega.

I did. I don't know if it's any good, but I'll check it out.

Hey Sega, lets talk about Vanquish. And maybe Sonic Colors.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Not even angry, just disappointed. At least the old launch trailer had some kick ass music

That's awesome!

back when Shenmue II appeared to be only coming to Euro dreamcasts and the Xbox version was like a year away I broke and decided to find out how to get a hold of a copy through digital downloads. There used to be a somewhat popular P2P client called Direct Connect that i would use for music stuff often and i discovered that you could find Dreamcast games on there, too.

so i had to download a 4 CD game via 56k onto a 4 gig hard drive. Only had enough room to hold one CD download at a time. So download, burn, and then start on the next disc.

This took a bit over a month to do.

Now, to be fair to younger me, I did buy Shenmue II when it came out on the OG Xbox because i really, really liked those games. And i would buy it again if/when an HD rerelease came out. But i just needed to play it badly and as a poor kid with a crappy part time job importing Shenmue II wasn't happening.

Yep, I remember those days. My first year of college I lived with three friends and the four of us shared a single 56k connection because we were too broke to afford cable internet. And this was right when Napster/file sharing had just taken off and we were downloading stuff constantly. Good times.

 

[Cosmic Schwung]

Well, do you want shortcuts?

Nope, but I wasn't sure if that's what they were. Their descriptions don't really help for anyone who hasn't played the game yet.

Far Cry Primal seems like a $60 game that's entirely based around the most boring parts of Far Cry 4. Unless they can come up with some dumb way of making guns work in prehistoric times, I think I'll pass.

 

[RionaaM]

Hey, I remember that time when this little search engine came and made me switch from Altervista.
You might have heard of it, was called Google at the time.

You mean Altavista? Young kids these days...

I remember mistyping "Lycos" at primary school one day, and a porn website opened in front of the whole class. I don't even know why I wanted to use that page, I never entered there.

hold on, i dont understand this thread, let me run this through babelfish

I hate that fish, it has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in history.

If it makes you feel any better, I graduated from college way too young and entirely too naive about how the world works, with a degree that was largely useless (in that I've never once used it in my professional career). Despite my enthusiasm, nobody wanted to hire an 18 year old kid with an bachelors degree in astrophysics. I didn't want to go back for my masters or PhD although in hindsight sometimes I wish I would have.

Wound up in IT and doing programming since it was something I had done as a hobby from an early age and had done at odd jobs from age 15. And well... I'm still doing that all these years later.

Hey man, I also asked for JSRF and Cosmic Smash.

You know what I want? The crew that did those mini games in Watch Dogs to make their own game.

I want a fully fleshed out game of that spider tank.

Isn't the reason Sega (besides them being weird) some BS with Microsoft on why it hasn't been on not only a Playstation platform but, also PC?

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

I dont see a scenario where Microsoft wouldn't allow it to be ported to Microsoft Windows.

I don't know MS is weird as hell with PC but, considering the way MS is acting recently maybe it wouldn't though.

I don't know it still feels like a pipedream at this point ;_;.

Steam has a demo btw.

 

[jshackles]

And while we're on the subject of Sega games coming to PC - where is Yakuza?

 

[Messiah]

Good to see Sega confirm their commitment to PC ports though.

Spoiler

Maybe someday we even can get Miku Miku'd (for reals)

 

[Uzzy]

Use headphones on sink? That can't possibly work..

 

[Tizoc]

You had 1 job SEGA, 1 freakin' job

This better be released down the line...

For that matter, I am more interested in the fan mods that for Sonic Boom than the base game but at least
SEGA's games have great graphics at their best so Sonic LW will look stunning.

 

[Arthea]

jackpot! I got my first in this life anime foil, thought it'll never happen, now let's see it drop in price like a rock in matter of minutes just because

And it had to be mahjong one *laughs*

Steam has a demo btw.

who has time for demos? They are also often not good indication what a game is.

And while we're on the subject of Sega games coming to PC - where is Yakuza?

glad you asked, I would want to know that too

I can be wrong, of course, but I genuinely think that Yakuza would fair better on PC.

Microsoft's Surface Book 2-in-1 includes Skylake and an Nvidia GPU

Microsoft announced a major addition to the Surface line at an event in New York on Tuesday: the Surface Book, a 13.5-inch laptop/tablet hybrid with some serious hardware inside. It's Microsoft's first laptop. The Surface Book includes an Intel Skylake Core i5 CPU (or i7 in more expensive models) CPU, Nvidia GPU and a claimed 12 hours of battery life. According to ZDNet, the Surface models will come with 128GB-512GB SSDs and 8GB-16GB of RAM (although the video above claims up to 1TB of storage).

The Surface Book's display detaches from its keyboard base, which houses the GPU and ports, to become a 13.5-inch tablet. The "fulcrum hinge," as Microsoft calls it, can also bend backwards to support the screen in a tablet position.

The 128GB, Core i5 configuration of the Surface Book starts at $1500, and models scale up to $2700.

We don't know what Nvidia GPU Microsoft's put in the Surface Book, but having a discrete GPU already makes it a much more promising gaming system than most hybrid tablet systems out there. Unfortunately, the base model doesn't contain the Nvidia GPU. As shown from ZDNet's pricing info, you'll have to step up to the $1900 model to get dedicated graphics.

The Surface Book will be available on October 26.

Microsoft also announced the smaller Surface Pro 4 for $900. It won't be as powerful a gaming system, but you can read more about it over on MaximumPC.

Caffeine is a broken mess. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/10/06/caffeine-lets-play/ And three of the four Steam reviews are negative. The positive one isn't particularly positive either.

Humble keeps on disappointing.

If at this point you expect anything noteworthy from them that's on you. They've become the PS+ of bundles. Or maybe they're hoarding the good stuff for that monthly sub. Yeah, that's it.

congrats on the code.

i love transformers, but i felt saves had a better flow.

better luck next time!

It's an honour just to be nominated.

 

[Knurek]

I know this isn't really a thread for those questions, but I trust you guys more:

i7-4790K + B85 motherboard worth it?
Skylake seems to be a disappointment when compared to Devil's Canyon (also the K version of Skylake is $50 more expensive here and doesn't include a stock cooler, so that's another $20). I don't want to OC, but the frequency bump for K version of 4790 is nothing to scoff at.
(All that stuttering while streaming data in Witcha is getting on my nerves)

I wonder how many people here are actually old enough to remember first hand AOL and Yahoo Chatrooms from way back when?

I'm almost 46 and I was calling up Compuserve, Prodigy, and dial up BBSes in 1982/83. I ran a multiline BBS in the late 80s before dialing up the internet was a thing and when it was, I was on usenet. I setup my first web page in March of 92 using the VI text editor. I remember having to call up Yahoo to get my web page manually listed. I still remember the dark day when AOLers were give access to usenet. Chatrooms were for kids.
