I thought about getting it, but wasn't sure how fun it'd be. I might grab it on the next Steam sale or something.

Damn, EVO Street Fighter V finals were real nail-biters!

Anybody excited for this ? The trailer made me hope for the real return of Sonic. Hopefully they won't just release it on "PC/PS4/XBONE" tho !

People are gonna be so surprised when they realise that Sonic was never any good.

I strongly disagree. Sonic 3 is a masterpiece (even tho I know I'm probably biased by the fact I played it as a kid etc etc), I still play it from time to time and it never lost its magic. Sonic 2 is great as well - maybe the first episode was a bit overrated, I find it way too slow and not really enjoyable.

Sonic 3+Knuckles and Sonic 2 aren't all bad. not exactly my favorite games ever but i enjoyed them as a kid and still can today.

the first name that rocks up in that trailer is Christian Whitehead, australian dude who's been obsessed with sonic since always and used to spend alot of free time just carbon copying sonic code and recreating the games from scratch. later on he was involved in porting the original games to mobile, plus ported Sonic CD to ps3 era consoles + PC, in widescreen HD.

as cynical as i wanna be in dismissing this as being nostalgia grabbing sega rehashing old ground bullcrap... i'm partially interested at least tbh. knowing for certain that legit super passionate sonic fans are involved in making a modern 'retro' sonic game. it could be interesting ??? i'll keep an eye on it for sure :^)

I've been playing Undertale and Baldur's Gate 2 for the past few months and they are both great 9.5/10 for both! Because rating systems are important. Everyone knows this.

Undertale is only.. about... 4/5 hours long, but you have to play thru it 2/3 times to get the full effect so I recommend it.

Baldur's gate 2 was like 40 hours long, and I'm still gonna do a run thru on a higher difficulty at some point.

They're both pretty cheap on steam.

So yeah, recommend those.

picked up final fantasy dawn of souls (1 and 2) for gb advance today.

oh yeah, I forgot I bought that. Should get back on to it. I'm a bit skeptical since it's pretty much universally adored in the chip scene, to the point of a lot of people doing covers of the soundtrack.

I've barely touched anything since I finished Doom. This will probably all change when the new Deus Ex comes out. My girlfriend has been obsessively playing Grim Dawn for the past couple of weeks so it'll be nice to have something to play while she's playing that.

edit: also wtf sonic 3+knuckles is perfect

I was surprised that it had its own fandoms. Usually things with massive fandoms tend to be cringy, but Undertale is great. The music IS overrated, I mean it's mostly just theme music. I've never heard amazing theme music now that I've heard of it, but some of it is good, and most of it is alright. Very little of it is bad.

Btw what websites do you go to for the 'chip scene'.

There are lots of bad animations on youtube (some good ones though). Never look them up.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention I also played through Brutal Doom once. I had more fun playing that than the new Doom. Definitely worth a play since it's free, and a great game really. I don't normally like games with just guts and gore, it's fun for 10 minutes then gets repetitive, but the fast pace and stuff and the way enemies attack you feel like these tiny puzzles you have to solve. If you play it you'll see what I mean (hopefully)

Yeah one of these days I'll get onto Brutal Doom. I just thought it was some gimmicky skin pack or something, but it seems to be some kind of modification to the gameplay mechanics as well.

well, there's chipmusic.org, which is alright but can be a bit cringey at times.. the Chiptunes = WIN \m/ <3 \m/ or whatever it's called facebook group is a bit better.

Oh no, it's basically.. 30+ new levels with modifications to feel more..modern, but still mostly doom. You have a higher degree of control.

The levels are designed very well too.

I jumped back to Bloodborne this week, now on NG+2... I also started a new char to run the Old Hunters DLC on... may attempt it in NG+2 also, we'll see.

If you enjoyed Brutal Doom, I recommend Project Brutality, which is arguably superior.

Just completed a second XCOM 2 playthrough, losing only my SPARK on the final mission. Still never got around to any Psi training though. I will make training Psi Ops agents mandatory next time.

Gonna try Singularity next, since the reviews look promising. I always opt for shooters that have some sort of sci-fi or occult weirdness factor to them. Contemporary ones like CoD or Battlefield just seem too bland for me.

i had suuuuuch a hard time doing the dlc first time on ng+. the dlc is easily the hardest levels of the game so be sure to tackle it near endgame.

I've been thinking about another Bloodborne run while we're waiting on the DS3 DLC...maybe now is the time.

Well, those are now the current-gen consoles (and PC), so why would you expect to see it anywhere else? Not sure if a 3DS could handle what they have planned for it...

I've been playing a LOT of Song of the Deep - really enjoying the exploring and building up the ability set. Forgot how satisfying it was in these kinds of games to go back to an area where a part was previously unpassable and now you can with a new item/ability...

hardly playing anything unless you count go. going on 3+mile runs hatching eggs. going on walks w/a neighborhood friend to catch shit occasionally (have one good friend who lives nearby who is actually into it). running into mobs in the park on the way home from work and mooching their lures for a few minutes. swiping stops as a passenger in the car.

and the occasional sfv still. went 1-2 in tournament on saturday. was happy to get a single win when i hadn't played since ibuki dropped a few weeks ago.

And Juri is out tomorrow - although I hate her new outfit (prefer her SFIV one)

juri looks p cool i think. not sure they needed to quadruple her bust size but what do i know. i'll probably grip her and hopefully try and start playing a good bit again. i'm interested in her and ibuki as alts for mika.

Man, psi ops are great! You gotta go for it. My only full playthrough I ended with two psi users on my squad and they were the highlights of the whole team. You get an ability that lets you grant other players extra moves, which opens up tons of combo potential.

windwaker, metroid, mario sunshine, elite dangerous.

All on the oculus rift DK2.

amazing

I never noticed that - I guess being evil means you get evil boob jobs.

I recently started playing Dungeons and Dragons again.

Super cool guy over here.
