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

Anyone knows what the hell did Homer shout when doing his special attack in Konami's The Simpsons Arcade game? "Operarum!"???

hey guys, do you know if you can change the zoom in battlefield 3 beta to only click once for zoom in and click one more time to unzoom so you dont need to hold down the right MB every time you need to ADS.
 
Square is pretty nonsensical in their designs, but they are far from the worst as far as quality is concerned. That shit is pretty damn bad though, from any aspect lol
 
Dumb question, but is the PS Vita backwards compatible with PSP games? If it is, I assume it'd only be for digitally purchased games?

I never had a PSP, and if I could play some games on it, then I'd really be interested in getting a Vita.

yes, it is backwards compatible with PSP games. PSN games only, of course.
 
If I have my controller connected to my PS3 via USB cable while the system is off (red light, not through the switch in the back), will the controller still charge?

i think the system needs to be on. might as well just hook it into your computer or something.

Well typically if my controller isn't hooked into my PS3, it's in my laptop so it's no big deal. Thanks for the answer.
 
Does anybody know if there is a way to purchase an item from amazon without it using my credit? I have $50 credit but want to preorder a game not due until next year, and it keeps trying to use my credit.
 
bought BF:BC2 since i liked BF3 beta so much. im playing a sniper, and am wondering how long it will take for me to unlock a gun that will 1-hit kill with body shots? the starter gun only 1-hit kills with headshots. or does such a gun not exist?

You can kill in one hit with the sniper rifles but only at short distances. The most powerful gun, the M-95 can be used with a red dot scope for this purpose, it's rewarding but also very challenging (if you miss... :/)

But at long distances, no, you can't one-shot baddies.

I have a question, If I buy a Child of Eden US code on eBay, will it work with my french Live Account?

is that a recon class gun? how long down the line is it?

Yes, it's a recon class gun, if you have any questions about the gun, the stats, let me recommend you THIS WEBSITE! Amazing quantity of stats, really.


For example, the M95 does 100pts of damage until 19 meters.
 
The TRU B2G1 Free is usually in October, correct? Any info on when exactly this month?

I was thinking of doing Zelda SS, Mario 3DLand, and something else.

is there an issue with preorders, or is it better to just do instock stuff?

You can buy more gift cards at a store and then load them onto your Amazon account.

It's probably asking for your credit card due to the fac that $50 is not a sufficient amount to cover the price of what you are trying to pre-order.

Yeah, normally middle to end of October. I can't recall it ever slipping into November (which would leave you out of luck to buy those two games unfortunately).
 
Is there a "secret" PSN Store for let's say, mid-eastern countries? Or mid-west?

My PSN account is connected European Store, supposedly, but i think somehow it misses some titles. Like FF7/8/9 etc. (They may not be on EU Store to begin with :p)

why aren't there more games for linux systems?
Click to expand...
s.a., but a lot of indie folks like to put commercial titles onto Linux at some point. For instance, developers participating in the Humble Bundle have Linux versions of their titles.

By the way, another reason is the library mess on Linux (dependancies tend to break with time, libraries get abandoned, GPL code is nigh impossible to integrate into closed-source stuff without making costly wrappers); plus, most houses develop DirectX-driven games, while Linux only knows OpenGL. While it's not crazy voodoo to port DX engines to OGL, it still costs money, and conservative projections tell the guys who make decisions that the costs might exceed the benefits.

Linux customer support eats a huge chunk of support efforts as well. Just check out a game's site which is on Linux — there are really obscure or non-intuitive solutions to issues, including, but not limited to downgrading libraries, teaching how to read log files, setting up X server configuration files, fiddling in critical /etc/ files as root, communicating simple things like how to traverse filesystems on the terminal or how to make a file executable, stuff like that. If you want to support a customer, you've got to address these topics, and that's no easy feat. Actually, most houses just put that burden onto the community's shoulders, which is kind of fucked.

Anyhow, you should be able to find plenty of games on the OS, albeit not a lot of commercial (or, to be honest, even good) ones.

Sorry should have made it more clear. My store credit that i have. Its from promotions such as pre-orders. Everytime i go to the checkout it is trying to use it. But i dont want to use it as the game im trying to preorder simply has a 2012 release date, and i know i will purchase something that want to use it for before than. Any idea?

Stupid question, I know, but PS3 newbie so... be patient :P

My brother and I recently bought a PS3. I created a PSN account on my behalf and bought 3 games on PSN. We also own Portal 2, and the code to download the game on PC. So here's the deal: I'm scared to link my PSN account with my Steam account and then not being able to switch my PSN account easily to a new PS3 that will be bought soon (like... half a year).

Is the process easy, like just logging in to the new PS3, or you have to go through a tedious process of contacting Sony and whateva? Also, will I lose all 3 games that I already bought? I know this sounds strange but, maybe, somehow they're connected to the MAC Address of the PS3 and not the PSN Account per se.

Thanks in advance guys!
 
You can have your PS3 account activated on up to five consoles simultaneously. All you have to do is to add the already created account to your new machine. Some games have a 24-hour lock, which means if you play it on one machine it won't be available on the other one until the next day.

Why do so few first person games show your own character's shadow? Even if you set the graphics to their highest settings.

That would require actual body model and that mean recourses that you don't see that much and cost a lot

Ah I see.

I do appreciate it when a game does include it though. Oblivion didn't do it and it really jumped out at me when I was on my horse, looked to my side, and could only see the shadow of my horse, as if no one was riding it.
 
Would it be acceptable to start a thread about my friend's new iPod/iPad game on Neogaf to introduce people to it? He wants to, but is awaiting approval, and I'm not sure if it would be against the rules or considered to be lame.

People have done it before, but if the game sucks the thread is going to fail miserably
 
Is there a 360 controller out there that lets me switch around button inputs? Like say I wanted to switch the LB and A button around in GOW 3.
 
Hey I don't have a HDMI cable with me just the basic A/V cable that comes with PS3 (the hdmi is at work), how bad will a game like demon souls look on a like 46" HDTV?

In Taiwan. I would just order from monoprice, but looking at their shipping it may be bunched in with China - emailed them. I looked at PC Home tw and they have one for 499 NT which is 16 bucks USD.

Well was seeing if it worth trying to play before I get one =(
 
Is it worth getting a Classic Controller Pro if I already have a standard Classic Controller (specifically, to play Xenoblade)?
 
If I buy Portal 2 from like Wal-Mart or something for the PC on DVD, do I get to download the game on Steam for free using the CD key or is the disk completely required to play?

I did exactly this as the small control felt odd with the big game of Xenoblade, so I feel it's worth it.

Tad more comfy too (GC is still better :P)

I bought HL 2 and Ep 1 in stores like this and just entered the code in Steam, never bothered with the dvd
 
Do you need xbox live Gold to have netflix in the US? I've been reading conflicting information... To use it in Europe I need:

1. Internet access
2. VPN subscription
3. Netflix subscription

if I need
4. Xbox live gold, then it's not worth it.
