I think the Ultimate Ninja Storm games are games people play for the story, not the battle systems. So I think playing 3 before 4 would be good.
Well I mean its inclusion in Yakuza too.
When I boot up Bioshock remaster or alt-tab, it triggers my monitor's "changed resolution or input" black screen. Strange. Usually putting a game at 1080p (which is my monitor's native res) fixes this.
I may be misremembering, but in Bioshock 2, pressing the left shoulder trigger automatically uses your equipped plasmid even if you physical weapon is "out" instead of just switching to it. The same goes for the right trigger and using your weapon. Bioshock 1 should've been updated to use that scheme from 2 IMO.

Eh, probably not. The VF cross overs in PxZ 2 and Dengeki didn't seem to mean much either.
I wouldn't put too much stock into those settings screens. It may be disingenuous as those settings are likely maxed out, and you can still edit them through the ini file.
They are discussing how there is missing water effects in the OT however.

It worked. Ooh, I have Minerva's Den apparently.
Not sure when I'll get around to playing 'em, but the option is there.

I hope so
honestly i don't have trouble comprehending english, i'm just slow at playing games and extra slow when u have to read a lot cos i'm just slow at reading lol
i'm the worst
nice, ready for some juicy dev commentaryThere they are.
user reviews seem super negative for some reason, lots of people talking about bad mouse controls but honestly wasn't planning on using a mouse for it so no harm no foul for me lol
Yeah, that's why it's weird that they aren't couting. Then again, but the counter in the profile page needs some time.

Just completed resi 6, my complaints about the gameplay are largely the same as from my first impressions.
Anyway, ignoring that for a moment, holy hell even by resi standards the plot in this is terrible, it's utterly steeped in the lore and plot of a series that is so dense that it's nearly MGS-esque at this point. I feel like I need to read a wiki now to genuinely understand many of the character's backstories and motivations here, cos they certainly didn't come across in game (let me guess they're hidden in collectible files? devs need to stop that shit).
Then again why do I care? =/
The out of order and concurrent storytelling just doesn't help things, you're dropped into events immediately with no context, and most of the revelations are kept for the secret campaign after the fact.
And even then, after it's all done and dusted, I just feel like... eh... ok then? For a mainline title it just doesn't feel to have advanced or moved the series plot forward in any way.
I guess RE4 didn't either but 1) that game wasn't drowning in franchise lore and 2) at least that game was good >_>

The mouse controls were really bad in the original game too, you had to do all kinds of hacks to fix the FOV and turn off mouse acceleration/smoothing.
Dead Rising sitting at 96% user score right now, Capcom and Qloc know how to go the extra mile. Now I just need to get GEDOSATO or something to remove the blurry DOF in the game.

Just imagine the alternate timeline where Resident Evil 6 was released as an Ada Wong game and unanimuously lauded for its successes. It would be a good timeline.
A software vampire. Aspyr.
That's good news. Very happy about the change.
DOS2's EA is a really nice taste of the game before full release (and yeah, it's good!). I'm super curious to see how much it changes between now and then--hopefully making it even better.

booooo
i wonder what's stopping them from also enhancing KotOR 1. shouldn't not be too hard. it's the same engine right?

You didn't have to play one whole persons campaign and go to the next. The canon order is like
Leon 1-2
Jake 1-2
Chris 1-2.
Then just following them all down the line and saving Ada for last.
As for the lore, I mean the series at the time was 16 years old. So of course it was gonna have some lore going. I agree the story isn't particularly strong, but I disagree it's hard to understand.
Chris wants to avenge his team he lost thinking Ada is to blame
Leon wants to find out why simmons is bad and what's going on with Ada.
Jake just wants a pay check, and ends up being part of something bigger.
Ada wants to clear her name.
But like I said the story is a weak point. It still has some cool points. The best parts of the game are when the gameplay shines through. The campaign has some nice set ups, and mercs is a fun time.
-----
As said above had capcom kept the gameplay but had a singular character with a more focused campaign. The series would be at a very different point right now.

Yes, the Store Page claims as much.
That's interesting. Nice to see them not forget that people may want to play the originals intact.
They actually redid a good amount of modelling in the remaster.
I think the water effect is better in the original though.

here we go. same shot, remaster and original.
i can do more if needed.
for a new page, and i tagged em.
Early on they are a drag, later on it's just cheesing them. Not good design.
oh, nice
Thanks.

Well Steam did me something good just now! I opened up Steam casually and see a Kinetic Novel on my frontpage called KaraKara and the cute art made me curious enough to actually try the trial which floored me a bit in a unexpected way because of the story-premise.
I expected some cute fluff comedy but the premise actually reminded me of the movie Interstellar o.o I mean I wouldn't compare KaraKara and the movie even in my dreams but because of the setting being a bit similar I actually got hooked and now consider buying the full version. I know it's said to be a very short novel but did anyone here play it?

Yeah, the original water effects definitely look more forceful. The substitutes in the remaster are comparatively a little lifeless.

Yeah, some things are looking better in remaster version, while some others are looking better in original. Weird remaster.
My guess is they don't know the minute details that are critical to the platform.

and aim assist

Play with the superior video games input, a controller.
It's not like you need precise aiming in Bioshock games anyway.
