Video Game General 6.4: New Halo? What else?

Serious hardware design flaws have been around since before console gaming began. It sucks, but what is done is done.

Yes and they should fix it. Not patch in a guestimation and leave me with my shitty joycons.

So yea design flaws are normal and they should be prepared to deal with them properly instead of using band aids imo.

Me too. I really want to get Yakuza 3 and Yakuza 5 on PC though.

I’m cleaning out my walk-in closet right now and I’m finding some gaming related shit I completely forgot about. A lot of it comes from left over pre-order swag we’d get to take home from when I worked at GameStop. However some of it is from Collectors/Limited editions, Kickstarter physical rewards, from the PAX Prime’s I went to when I still lived in Seattle, or just thought was cool so I decided to buy.

Shits making me mad nostalgic. Came across some duplicates of amiibo I totally forgot about too.

heh, sheeeittttt, I still have a lot of old stuff— like most of my Electronic Gaming Monthly issues…I was just looking at one a few days ago, which has Primal Rage on the cover…I think that was 1994. I even have some old Nintendo Power magazines, along with their special publications, like “Mario Mania” and “NES Game Atlas” from WAY back in the day.

I still have the Joe statue which was a pre-order bonus for Viewtiful Joe…unfortunately the ankles are kinda busted since I foolishly had it in the trunk one time when I was in the process of moving. *whoah that’s weird…no one else has this or remembers it?! ah, if you search “viewtiful Joe bobblehead” then it’s there… that would still rank as one of my favorite games of all time. I’m sure I still have the Gamecube demo-disc for it too.

I also still have most of the game manuals, even from the ancient Atari days.

I still have every issue of ToyFare Magazine in a box at my sisters house. I know that’s not gamer swag but I always loved reading them and seeing what toys were coming out. They also had a on going feature in every issue called “Twisted ToyFare Theater”. It was a comic strip style skit done with the old 70’s cloth style toys. Shit was absolutely hilarious. I actually think you’d get a kick out of them @Million-X. Lots of debauchery.

Most of the people involved with ToyFare went on to work with seth green on robot chicken.

just found out through people I know is that to their knowledge, Doom Eternal is not on the exhibit floor at Quakecon in demo form on any platform. It’s exclusive to the party that’s happening on Friday for Slayers Club members, and ya boy didn’t get hooked up with a invite.

So, the only things I’ll be able to see on the exhibit floor on Saturday are the new Wolfenstein games, and stuff from the Elder Scrolls team.

Interested in Wolf info. Elder Scrolls can EAD.

what do you want answered? I have the PC version of Youngblood preordered, and it’ll be available on Thursday to play.

Just tell me what you thought of what you saw. That’s all.

will do. I’m holding out hope for Doom Eternal in some form on the floor, maybe a Switch version. The Switch versions are definitely on my list to try regardless.

If DOOM makes it to the flop then yea would like to hear your thoughts on it to. Otherwise just Wolf really.

But I mean fuck it, just give your thoughts on the event and everything you experience.

A new Mega Man game is being released on mobile platforms by the end of the year. It’s called Mega Man X Dive.

From what I’m reading it seems like a “MMX greatest hits” type of game. You fight various Mavericks across the series’ history while getting to play as the 3 protagonists of the X series; X, Zero and (unfortunately) Axl.

man, another interesting Overwatch character…such a shame they have to be in that game though


The real deal for me would be if the cast of Overwatch was in a proper action-rpg kinda thing, like Borderlands style. I would’ve bought such a thing day 1, easily. The very existence of Overwatch kinda annoys me, since an excellent cast of characters like that deserves sooo much better, imo.
