Video Game General 6.4: New Halo? What else?

No peripheral is worth that much money.

Depends on how much you’re planning on using it. I’ve already bought new systems just to play SF.

The idea of getting a peripheral to really enjoy myself isnt really that out of the ordinary.

As I said, ā€œwith my income.ā€ For a console I can at least use it with tons of games. For a peripheral like that, there is literally only one game you can use it for. If I DID have the income to make that purchase I would, but I just can’t justify that when I’d only be able to use it with one game. Even if I put 500 hours into that game, that still doesn’t justify it for me with my current means. For those people who are going to buy a PS4 and stick specifically for that game, I get it, that’s what they’re into and almost nothing else(/or they just have that kind of income anyway).

sheeeeit, yeah I don’t like the idea of spending a large sum of money on a peripheral that will only apply to 1 game.

well, I tried out Anthem tonight in freeplay… apparently they bumped up how often titans and ursix appears in freeplay… I know it was just 1 session of it but I only saw 1 titan tonight and I was in there for what seemed like a decent amount of time…enough to do about 3 or 4 world events + random exploring and killing things, on…also only got 1 masterwork item…on GM2 difficulty. :laughing:

You can probably play the VOOT games just with with a pad. The peripheral is more for the hardcore types who refuse to play them on anything but twin sticks.

You definitely can, but it is definitely a worse control experience as I mentioned earlier. The analogs just aren’t as good as the joysticks since they have way too much dead space. It’s just not the same as digital inputs. It’s fine if you just plan to mess around a while though, but if you’ve played twinstick even once before it’s super noticeable.

aha, soooo that’s why Storm always seemed like such a low-tier piece of shit in this game… the damage reduction that is supposed to happen when Storm hovers doesn’t even work properly! :rofl: (*I figured it was just destined to be bottom tier anyway though because of the inherent gameplay design there; Storm is the ā€œwizardā€ of the crew… a glass cannon…in a game where enemies on high difficulties are constantly shooting you from all directions and doing INSANE damage…that’s just how it goes though with games that have different characters and abilities; something is always going to be shit-tier. It is impossible to avoid that.)
Plenty of more ā€œcolorfulā€ commentary about the state of the game is in here as well, of course:

Def Jam made another Def Jam: Fight for NY post on its Instagram/Twitter 12 hours ago. They also made a similar post around August of last year

Not sure if it means anything, but hopefully they’re gauging interest

…Yeah, still gonna go ahead and eventually buy KH III anyway, cuz a) fuck what you think and b) you aint the boss of me.

Is Days Gone supposed to be good? I feel like they hyped the shit out of that game at E3 2 or so years ago and since then I’ve hardly heard anything about it. Maybe it’s just that I’m not going out of my way and over Zombies at this point, but that trailer they showed way back when looked pretty cool and like it could be a good game. I just saw it’s coming out in like 2 weeks and didn’t realize it was that close.

EDIT:

Just read it’s open world, nevermind. I’m out.

Totally agreed. Bought a refurbished WiiU from Nintendo primarily because of Bayonetta 2.

And there people like us who make their own.

I’d personally like to see one of those new Virtual-On sticks torn apart and dissected. Then posted in Tech Talk for great posterity.

All we really need is a PCB that supports it, and a good case. The rest is just bog standard Sanwa parts.

People make their own twin sticks?

How do they do the actual sticks?

I spent $800 just to play Killer Instinct at X1 launch and did not regret it one bit. Well I guess I do now because Keits ruined the game, but I definitely got my money’s worth at the time.

I thought all the new characters were cool but not the first time I’ve heard this.

What he do?

I hope whatever they are working on is nothing like Icon. I am still curious about where it will take place and who will be in it. I wonder if DMX will be in this one and how much of the roster will be legacy versus new?
