Video Game General 2.0: Yo Dawg I Heard You Like Remasters And Ports

Nintendo brought the Steam this year, both figuratively and literally.

I thought Nintendo had a fantastic E3. You could see a clear difference between their stuff and what everyone else was offering. Besides their Direct, they had a constant flow of content through their Treehouse stream.

Nintendo, for me, had Bayo 2, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Hyrule Warriors, and Star Fox, and I’m actually legitimately excited for these. Sony had Bloodborne and The Order seems like it might be interesting, but I don’t really NEED it. MS… just had Scalebound. And just to be clear, I am not a huge 1st party Nintendo fan, I never really got into Zelda and Mario isn’t really my thing. I liked Metroid Prime and the old Star Fox games. Oh, and Pokemon and Fire Emblem, but honestly, I kind of don’t feel that those are as iconically “Nintendo” as Mario/Zelda/Metroid, even though that’s not really true lol.

Games like No Man’s Sky don’t interest me. The art style is interesting if it was just art, but as a game I don’t like it, too abstract. I also don’t like randomized environment games at all. Plus, what is the game even about? Exploring? Until they can show me how they’re making that interesting, I don’t care too much.

Are they really mad that nintendo is not exploiting their fans enough? Is this really what it has come to?

Actually, that’s one of the biggest complaints I have about western game trailers. Even the ones created well into it’s development rarely show off and explain systems in any kind of detailed way. Looking at Freedom Wars, the last 3 or so trailers have literally just been about explaining game systems. You RARELY see that with western game trailers. They may show stuff you can do, but there is rarely an explanation for it.

Or like the reveal trailer of GGXrd vs the MKX reveal trailer :rofl:

Count me in as another guy that was left cold by Nintendo’s conference. Bayo 2 is the only thing they showed that I want to play.

@Gasaraki I would say give Zelda another shot. Im not that deep into mario either unless its a 3d game or an rpg.

And yeah western game trailers don’t show gameplay, just cinematics, because they know niggas will love any game with good graphics nowadays lol. CG trailers are fine for an announcement to let you know the game is coming if they don’t have any gameplay footage available for being too early in development or etc

It was all about the Treehouse, TBH.

I am sure that many of us watched the Tree House, again, if you are not really that into X or Y Nintendo franchise then is not really doing anything for you.

PS Now rental prices are raperrific.

$2.99 to rent Crazy Taxi for 4 hours? Pass.

I have a few times. The game is just not my style. I don’t think they’re bad, I am just not into them. Same with Castlevania. I’m not sure how to explain it, but in Zelda’s case, I don’t really care for the setting and emotion that Zelda’s art-style tends to have, and I have a lack of patience for a game that has action systems but withholds many of your abilities to be earned over the course of the game. I’m fine with character growth, but I really either want it over quickly, or to at least have all my basic abilities very quickly.

For example, IMO the dumbest thing about MGR is that you have to buy Offensive Defense, the dodge move. I mean, it’s cheap so you can get it quickly, but it’s just as important as parrying in that game so I really have no idea why you can’t do that from the start.

In Castlevania’s case, I just don’t really care for the way the games feel or move. And I’ve tried almost every era’s Castlevania. I haven’t played the original NES ones, but I’ve played Rondo of Blood, Portrait of Ruin, Ecclesia, the horrible N64 ones, the newer PS3 one, etc and I just couldn’t get into any of them.

Playstation Now has it’s own subscription doesn’t it? What the fuck is up with these prices? $2.99 is how much I can get Alpha Protocol for in the currently steam sale.

WTF!? A 4 hour rental should be like a fucking dollar!

This is how I feel every time I see a first-person shooter, dat Madden, Assassin’s Creed, Master Chief, or a damn zombie… :bluu:

I understand your pain… DEEPLY.

I WILL RENT FF13 !!!

HAHHHAHAHAH

Might as well rent a dominatrix. Would fulfill the same thing. :coffee:

Jokes on you, i don’t like zombies, fps in general or madden (only sport game that i care about is PES) :coffee:
AC i still have to play them to form an opinion about it

Don’t bought it last year, tried playing it back in Feb. Game is utter shit. Sold it to gamestop and happily took those few bucks in store credit.

Alot of the issue are with the gameplay, Hope, Snow, and sorta Lightning. Shes like a garbage version of Clare from Claymore, which is ironic since they have the same name

Despite outward appearences Dominatrix are supposed to bring pleasure through the pain. FFXIII never delivers on the second part
