Dragon Quest VIII coming to 3DS, in Japan

 

http://www.dragonquest.jp/dq8/

now that's a game i'd pay for an hd rerelease of, considering i never beat it and my ps2 is kaputt

 

I still have my PS2 limited edition copy... got to the first end encounter with the villain, got my ass kicked and realized I needed to do a LOT more grinding, and put it aside.

yeah. i got pretty far in it but it does require a lot of grinding.

I can't wait 'til I'm home from Uni for the summer. I have shitty internet in my room, so I can't play games online and I don't have that much free time either. I'm basically living in the third world.

Stuff I'm looking foward to playing:

Batman Arkham Knight

Bloodborne (if I get a PS4)

More Destiny (if they fix everything)

Monster Hunter 4 (if I get a 3DS)

Isaac: Rebirth

Dark Souls 2 SoFS (I still haven't played DS2 at all, but Dark Souls is one of my favourite games)

finally decided to build dedicated emulation console (rather than rely on laptop) with retro pie raspberry a pi2 and two ps3 controllers. should be able to emulate everything up to n64/ps1 with ease using what is basically the greatest controller of all time. $80 for a pi2 kit plus a bluetooth dongle. should be here in time for me to setup over the weekend

PS3 greatest controller of all time? Surely you must be joking. The L2 & R2 on that thing are shit, as are the anal log sticks. 360 controller tops it & PS4 controller tops both of them in every conceivable way.

don't really like the analog sticks on ps4 and won't be doing much l2/r2 for retro gaming. it's all about that dpad and the 360's dpad is garbage

and the battery life on ps4 is trash because of that stupid light

The WItcher 3 is getting really good scores across the board, looks pretty sick but I'll probably wait to pick it up til it's a little cheaper, got a lot of other stuff I'm playing atm. Plus when Arkham Knight comes out I'll be fixed on that for a while.

the Vita has a sweet d-pad

no

just cut to anywhere in the middle and enjoy the shittiness.

Anyone try Invisible, Inc. yet?

broke down and bought DA: inquisition (30% off at the origin site). I'm always reluctant to pay full price for AAA games but I love the heck out of the DA series and I'm looking forward to losing more than a few weekends to this. sorry real life, I'm out for a while.

I pre-ordered The Witcher 3 on Steam. Can't wait for Tuesday. I have it pre-loaded already.

Just completed Wolfenstein: The Old Blood (prequel to The New Order). Pretty solid overall, but fairly short.
It's kind of a throwback to the 2001 RtCW in terms of story, and even has a hidden classic Wolf 3D "Nightmare" level in each chapter. The characters have realistic dialogue as well - no wooden "actors" here.

Anyway, for those of you Steam users interested in Capcom titles I think they still have a big sale going on right now.

Gonna cop Fatal Frame 1&2 for the weekend, I think. So sad about Silent Hills still.

played witcher 3 for a bit. crashed to desktop twice and showed artifacts a couple of times. im on a brand new i7 4790k / 16gb ram / gtx 970. fucking goddamnit.

pretty much anything with decent graphics is unstable this days it seems.

was rummaging through hoarded ps+ games on ps3 the other nite. started playing through ducktales remastered. either they added way more easy to find secrets in this game or i'm much better at finding them now than i was when i was like 10. already beat the main levels and now onto vesuvius. really felt like i beat the game as a kid and don't remember the extra last level at all

They added n tweaked the gameplay heaps. The NES game was very open and let you explore the levels and stumble onto the secrets (but most were never too detrimental to beating the level or progressing forward). The remastered game alters the level flow a bit and sort of guides (forces??) you a bit more into covering the levels a bit more thoroughly and covering all the secrets..

The remastered game is pretty lovingly done and the animation is gorgeous but the alterations to the original gameplay take away from the charm quite a bit for me at least !! ) plus the constant cutscenes/dialogue is a bit too interrupting for me.

Definitely feels like a remake more than a mere remaster job.

Its a weird game. I wanna hate on it and tear it apart but it looks so nice and gorgeous plus a lot of people seem to genuinely love it ? Ducktales nes for life !!!! For me, imo. At least :)

project cars online-great fun

gtav pc-taking over my free time,have to force myself to stop,must be good

Watched a livestream of Splatoon on Wii U last night - game is pretty good, looks fun - definitely a change from the standard shooter. The only thing I see hurting this game's chances are Nintendo not supporting it with DLC after it comes out quickly enough (I'm looking at you Mario Kart 8), and the relatively small Wii U userbase (and probably even smaller online Wii U userbase that's not playing SSBWiiU).

The Wii U is looking pretty barren for the remainder of the year, and I'm not sure the influx of indie titles that have been on PC/other consoles for ages now will help much.

I've read the "campaign" is a joke. Plus, yes I own some Amiibo, but a $36 DLC paywall, which look like these work exclusively with this game, is bullshit.

I like the look of splatoon, might get me a Wii U in the future, so cheap in the second hand stores now.

Currently playing Guns, Gore And Cannoli, a side scroller about an Italian mobster killing zombies. Pretty fun, but apparently is quite short.

That's exactly my experience with this game too, which is a shame cause there's apparently a whole lot of game after that
