This thread is for stupid GAMING questions that don't deserve their own thread

Why not just play SC II HD instead? If you don't care about the characters or how older SC played, then definitely go for V, if you do care, then go for IV.

Okay my question.

I'm playing catchup for my PS3, and here are the titles I'm considering.

- Deus Ex: Revolution (I usually don't go for FPSs, but I played about an hour or so and really like it. As long as they continue to focus on exploration and stealth gameplay I will definitely get this.)
- Bayonetta (Been on my list for a while, but the Xbox verison is superior, is the PS3 version still okay?)
- Demon's Souls (I have Dark Souls, and as much as I like the exploration, I find myself put of by the difficulty and controls, but I think that has to do with not knowing how to play the game correctly.)
- Nier (I haven't investigated this game alot, but people tend to praise it. It looks like an action RPG with a good story?)
- Castlevania: Lord of Shadows (Looks like a great adventure/platformer, but I find myself put off by some of the animations.)
- Okami HD (Don't know a lot about this game, just that lots of people compare it to a Zelda-esque type of adventure. Haven't beaten a Zelda game, but had a lot of fun with OoT and MM.)
- Vanquish (Probably the title I'm considering the least, looks to actiony in the demo and the gameplay I've seen.)
- Uncharted 2 (Only played the first one, and had a semi-enjoyable experience, bar the QTEs, and shootouts.)

I will probably only have enough money to get two or three, but in which order should I get these games? If you have any other recommendations I would like to know.

Okami and Demon's Souls are definitely the best games on your list. I would play either of these two first.
 
- Demon's Souls (I have Dark Souls, and as much as I like the exploration, I find myself put of by the difficulty and controls, but I think that has to do with not knowing how to play the game correctly.)

If you don't like Dark, you probably won't like Demon's is my advice.


- Castlevania: Lord of Shadows (Looks like a great adventure/platformer, but I find myself put off by some of the animations.)

I really enjoyed this game. Drags on a while and the music box puzzle will have you tearing your hair out, but overall I'd deffo recommend a playthrough.

- Uncharted 2 (Only played the first one, and had a semi-enjoyable experience, bar the QTEs, and shootouts.)

It's about 100 times better than Drake's Fortune. Again, I'd highly suggest you play through it.


Without knowing too much else what you're into it/played already, I'd suggest Heavy Rain as well. God of War III just for the spectacle.
 
Does anyone know how to upgrade WiiU VC titles from Wii to WiiU if you've already transfered your Wii into the WiiU's virtual Wii thing?

After you transferred them, you should see the discount in the eShop (the normal price should be striked out and the lower price should be in yellow below it).

I'm new to 3DS and street/spotpass. They say you can connect to last 6 users via spotpass? Do you just need to to get in range or do you need to connect to the wifi? Best buy is one? Any others?

Also are any of the extra streetpass games, the ones you have to buy, any good?

Lastly, a video review for Mario Tennis Open said you can unlock mii accessories. Is that just for in game or does it cross over to your streetpass mii as well?
 
If a development team ships a game and they don't have another to work on what do they do? Training? Improve tools?

Its really varied.

Most big studios have a project set for them, some do a few prototypes and choose the best/what they can get funding for.

Some have vacation periods while a small crew working on pre-production for the next time.

Studios that are part time just prototype stuff and keep doing their regular jobs.

Some close if they don't have a new project being funded for, or cut down their staff a lot till they get funding.

Tools are generally constantly improved, then when a game is over the tools for the developers are updated before full production on the next project begins. If you make big changes to tools in the middle of development, unless it is planned, you can break a lot of things.

Training depends on the developer, lots of training is done on the job or in spare time, sometimes a company might pay for you to go away on specific training.

Ideally you have it planned so that no one is ever left with nothing to do. Concept artists and the like should be working on the next game before the end of the current project. A small crew works on prototyping while people have vacation on a 'rota' so that everyone gets a break. You then slowly build up the crew working on the game and ramp up to full production. Then you repeat.
 
I don't have a snes, wii, wii u, or 3ds.

I do have a vita and ps3.

Are the ports of FFIV and Chrono Trigger servicable enough for me to experience them on these platforms, or should I not even bother?
 
Why haven't I ever been able to challenge a passerby to a battle in Pokemon Y? Can it be a router issue? Wonder trades work fine and I can accept other people's battle requests.

You don't want my opinion on FF4, but the DS version of Chrono Trigger is the definitive version.
 
How do I actually delete dlc from my ps4 hdd?

I delete the notification, I delete the actual file in the applications list but it still says "installed" and I'm unable to reinstall.

Heeeeeeelp.
 
Okay, this one will seem really stupid but...

How do I sign out of PSN on my PS4? As a PS+ subscriber I'm automatically signed in when I turn the console on and I can't figure out for the life of me how to go offline!
 
So, I'm playing Dragon Age II (Har har, yeah yeah, I'm enjoying it -_-;), and I wanted to know about Rogue and Mage builds. With my Rogue, I'm going dual-wielding dps type. Any general tips? Also, is Shadow or Duelist better for this? In the same vein, should I go for Scoundral or Stealth?

As far as the mage goes, they don't have Arcane Warrior anymore, so what would be the best way to go for a nuker-type magician?

*edit* Btw, I got Skyrim Legendary Edition off Amazon for Black Friday. Does it come with all the patches which make it playable, or will I have to download them, and if so, what kind of file sizes am I looking at?
 
GUYZE GUYZE

I has a question.


I tried downloading my xbox live profile on my friend's xbox 360... twice... Once I type my password, it sais "Welcome [gamertag]", then freezes and gives me an error screen.

I tried logging into my hotmail account... "service currently unavailable, try again later".

Is it only happening to me, or is there something like a server maintenance or whatever ?


Btw, I get the security codes from microsoft to two other email accounts, so I don't think my account has been hacked or whatever.


edit: ok... WHY THE FUCK CAN I ACCESS MY EMAIL ADDRESS ON MY OWN LAPTOP AND CELLPHONE !
Fuck me, ever since the last update, the 360 OS quality went downhill.
 
So Bust Buy is receiving PS4 stock to sell 12/08/2013...

They said they will give out limited tickets on first come first serve basis, and they open 10am.

Question: What time is a good time to stand out there?

6am

8am

Or to hell with it, 9:30am?

Obviously use your best judgement and go with what feels safe, but I will say that on PS4 release day, I underestimated the demand for games at my local Targets. I don't live in a major city or anything, so I figured I could waltz into a Target at around 8-8:15 and pick up all my games. Everything had sold out at every Target within like 20 miles within that small time frame. If you think you're good to get there at 9:30, show up at like 8:30 or 9. Just my anecdotal advice. In the end though, it's really how much you value your time, and is totally up to you.
 
I'm having a bit of a problem with my Dual Shock 3 controllers.

I have two of them, both have been paired with my PS3, but I want to reset one of them so that I can use it on my PC only. The thing is, I've pressed the reset button of both of them and they still turn on the PS3 when I press the home button.

Am I missing something? Shouldn't the controllers have to be re-synced with the console with a USB cable after I pressed the reset button?

Thanks.
 
Guess this is the place to ask: I'm wanting to gift a friend BF3 Premium, but from what I've read Origin doesn't offer a gifting option when buying from their site (even though it's fairly cheap there now).

So it seems the only way to do it is buying from a key site, anyone know of a list of legitimate stores for this?
 
This has probably been answered somewhere but I can't find it so here is my stupid question:
How do I transfer my save data from an SD card to another for my 3DS?
I tried the backup restore for Crimson Shroud but it keeps telling me "There is no backup data" in the target SD card. On the other hand, if I remain in the same SD card, I can do the restore.
So, what's going on here?
I'm so confused right now...
 
In Skyrim I can't do the free arrow thing..they are all using crossbows...how or where can I find archers?

Solitude and Dragonsreach both use xbows.
 
Is there a good way to buy game cases and manuals? specifically, I want a case for my copy of assassins creed liberation for the PlayStation Vita that did not come with one. Can I order one online from anywhere? Or, do GameStop sell them? I don't want to pay more than five bucks for it.

What is the best/proper step-by-step way to transfer my Sound Shapes and Flower PS3 saves to the PS4, so that when I boot up the games on PS4, the trophies auto-pop?
Click to expand...
Just sync your cloud save from Sound Shapes' menu, first on PS3 then on PS4, the trophies will pop automatically (be sure to downoad the appropriate DLCs first). For Flower, I don't think the trophy list is shared between PS3/PSV/PS4, so no easy poppin'!

EDIT: to be clear, Sound Shapes is cross-buy and cross-save, while Flower is only cross-buy it seems.
 
Has there been some information about the PS4 support for the PS3 Wireless Stereo headset recently? At some point Sony said that it will work with the PS4 and after that, they said they will patch in PS3 headsets support later (i guess they aimed for january). But since then i have not read or heard anything about it and its been quite a while.
