Stunning as fuck

'Shadow of the Colossus' is second to the best PS2 game ever 'Katamari Damacy'! I guess the riding around searching for the Colossuseseses would be the boring part, but I felt the environment was calmly immersive.

I keep glancing at Dark Souls in Steam, but the strong suggestion of playing with a controller puts me off. I'm much more of a keyboard and mouse person and I keep reading how the K+M controls are bad. Anyone have any insight on this? I played all the 3rd person GTAs with K+M and I didn't have any trouble.

 

just buy a ds3/4 you sissy

 

you should already have one for emulating ps2 games

 

What's a ds3/4?

 

I have a PS2 adapter for my PC, so I can play with a PS2 controller. I just generally prefer K+M.

 

DualShock 3 or 4 (aka PS3 or PS4 controller) - both use Bluetooth, so if your PC has BT, you can easily pair one up and it's hands down the best controller (although some would argue the XBOX 360 controller is better and works with Windows right out of the box).

OK, so playing with a PS2 controller should be essentially the same. Other than the BlueTooth, I didn't notice that many differences between the PS2 and PS3 controllers.

I'm not saying 'or', I say "also"

Yep - even better since it's a wired connection.

Cool, thanks, JR! The first one is $20 in Steam, so I'll give it a go this weekend.

Is Fez worth around 4$?

Nope, it's worth around $25

Nice.

I'd say Fez is easily one of the best games I've played in the last 5 years or so...

Absolutely!

Yeah!

I will buy it. Thank you.

ok

*jots it down*

 

I finally got around to starting Deus Ex: HR, approximately a year after asking about it on watmm

 

I liked the part where I backtracked through the first real level for an hour because I couldn't see the other door that was clearly in the server room

Nintendo Reports a Loss of $457 Million, 3DS and Wii U Both Fall Short

That's weird. Nintendo have been doing such a great job in keeping up with the competition. Releasing a machine like the Wii U at the time they did. How could it possibly go this wrong?

 

Why Nintendo, why?!

Granted, 270 million of that was R&D, and that's an operating loss - their net loss was 229 million. Still, get your shit together, Nintendo.

Ahh they're doing fine - was interested to see their share index since 1990 and -

 

 

So it only looks comparatively bad compared to that massive peak in about 2007, they're currently on a par on when the N64 launched - and Nintendo certainly didn't die then ....

Nintendo needs money... so this happened:

 

 

 

JUST THROW POKEMON AT THE PROBLEM!

Yeah, except if they wanted to save the Wii U, they need to put one of these Pokemon games on it, and not the 3DS.

 

I just hope these use the X/Y game engine (they spent a lot of time redoing all the 3D models for the Pokemon in X&Y, so the game assets are mostly there)...

 

Nintendo also announced a mobile app so people can watch Mario Kart matches on mobile. Whooopeee...

 

They also said they were going to develop "new hardware" for markets like China... yeah, let's fracture your base even more, AND piss off your supporters at the same time by offering hardware some won't be able to get! Next they'll be offering games only for those regions... further pissing off their loyal customers.

I am playing hotline miami. Mostly because I really dig the music on it. It's a bad ass game.

Hello, there's a shit ton of Nintendo games that never get localized outside japan. Wondering if they'll have time to cram in Pokemon Z before November.

 

Also, Denpa Men 3 has waaay too much Animal Crossing, you got your chocolate in my peanut butter!
