Video Game General 3.0 - You know what should come back? Pre-rendered backgrounds!

That doesn’t make it any less dumb. But I wasn’t even talking about this place actually, although I can see how it came off like that. I was talking more about new sites or blogs like Kotaku or Destructoid. It’s all a part of the greater “nerd culture” circle jerk that takes place on the internet on a constant basis.

Despite some of the dumb shit that gets said on this forum, I consider SRK a safe haven from that kind of bullshit.

I would agree, but I got shot in the knee with an arrow while I was waiting for some cake which turned out to be a lie.
I was maimed under false pretenses.

No but seriously GD is it’s own beast compared to the rest of SRK, Every board has some “personality” if you would.
Not even Tech Talk is safe.

As far as Kotaku, Destructoid or other websites are concern. They rely on traffic, appealing to toe lowest common detonator is a easy way of getting people to visit, but it also means you dumb down everything into a circle jerk of memes, cliques and internet inside joke.

arrow to the knee?
more like arrow to the pee!

Holy crap at Cheetah Speed. I haven’t seen the Angry Sun in this game yet…I had a stage idea involving him.

Also I just realized Deep Silver made Metro Last Light. So how did they fuck up so hard on Dead Island?

Deep Silver just needs to keep making Saints Row games, IMO.

What 343 Industries fail to realize unlike many other shooter games, its the local multiplayer options that made the Halo series what it is.
Having Split screen as well as Local-Lan support made Halo 2.

I seen people on the IGN page try to compare it to Uncharted not having multiplayer.
I want to say Uncharted was never known for it’s multiplayer, I could be wrong but only Uncharted 4 had multiplayer and it was awful.

Not having Split screen multiplayer in Halo is like not having split screen multiplayer in Mario Kart (yes I know the hand held versions didn’t but they have link play).
People generally call the friends over, grab a extra controller and take turns blasting the crap out of each other in Halo and having a great time.
its a formula that been around since Golden Eye on the N64 (if not older).

Not enough time or money?

This is the prettiest incarceration of Ryu ever

I was getting hyped and then I remembered that Breath of Fire 6 is a mobile game. This Ryu is not the main character. This gets a legit fuck Capcom out of me.

Wait you have Uncharted 4?

I’ll throw an additional fuck capcom on that for what they’ve done to BoF. Where did this image come from anyways?

Fuck I forgot what was the last Uncharted, 3?

Both 2 and 3 have multiplayer. Supposedly the multiplayer for Uncharted is fun (haven’t played it myself it’s what I’ve heard) but the singleplayer is far more notable.

haha…AHHHHHAHAHAHA! Ohhh that’s a good one, man. WoooOOOooo… Seriously though, fuck that company. Someone please rescue this IP…please.

On another note–that Star Wars edition PS4 is looking quite tempting though…quite tempting indeed…

The source is on the image url. It’s a publicity screenshot.

In all honesty this is really an issue if you don’t look at how much time you spend enjoying something. I personally equate my dollars to money spent on a movie. Given that a movie at prime time is around 10 dollars for 1:30-2 hours of entertainment, I kind of need, at least, 9-12 hours of entertainment for a game to be worthwhile. If I spend less and put in time on it, I’m more than getting my money’s worth. So I bought Xrd at retail for the full 60. I’ve unlocked everything twice, spent time playing friends locally and playing with people online. At least twice I’ve had 3+ hours sessions locally. Time on training mode figuring things out and dicking around, and I’ve easily gotten my full 12 out of the game.

If they release another one (and hopefully improve the netcode) then I can expect that even at a full price of 40, which by my own comparison needed for it to be a worthwhile purchase, I’d need 8 hours worth of entertainment out of it.

So while I don’t desire to buy it at full retail, it is a very justifiable purchase for me. If I can get it for 15, I could far more easily surmise that my money is going to go a long way.

All in all: Meh. Don’t care either way.

Well considering that that they released that Western announcement trailer for the game like…what…2-3 years ago I believe? I’m sure the recent financial troubles they’ve been having had been putting a wrench into their plans. It was a wrench of their own doing but a wrench non the less.

Oh yeah forgot to mention that Atlus USA said that Persona 5 was gonna release this year


Kinda finding it a little hard to believe but I suppose if they release a full dubbed english trailer within the next month then I’ll believe it a bit more.

Heh. You go light. I equate $1 = 1 hour of play. So if I buy a $60 game, I need to get at least 60 hours out of it (and WANT to spend that 60 hours on it) or it’s not worth it to me. $50 game = 50 hours, $40 game = 40 hours, etc. If I can get more than that it was more than worth the purchase. If I can’t get that much out of it, I should have waited for a price drop.

Pretty much the main reason I don’t watch movies. I don’t feel what I get out of them is worth the money spent on them.

That doesn’t even work out. Wtf do you do for a dollar that keeps you entertained for that long?

A game that costs $1.
