Persona 5 is owning my life at the moment. It's really gooood

I'm about to buy it =O

I've played all of them and most of the other SMT games (they dropped the SMT branding for P5 didn't they?). Really looking forward to this.

Too many games, so little time .

You won't regret it. I haven't owned a system since ps2, then bought myself a ps4 last Christmas. This is one of the best games I've ever played so far and i'm only like 3 hours in. It's super dark too. 

Oh nice, glad to hear it. That's what I was hoping for. It's one of my favorite series out there, so different than other rpgs.

So Microsoft just announced the specs for the Scorpio and holy crap... it sounds like it'll be a fucking monster.

oh shit, makes the ps4 pro look even more pathetic. I bet it's going to cost a million dollars though, and that's quite expensive.

i assume it'll just continue to have no first party games i care about and so i'd just rather put more money into fleshing out my gaming pc. i really don't care about 4k. 1080 at 60fps is fine

I've kept out of this generation of consoles cos of the small pissing matches between Sony and Microsoft seemingly every few months. Completely confusing to know which console to back !

You could focus on what console exclusives, type of games you like most out of all the consoles to choose from? 

I don't care much for Halo, forza, but am already creaming for a new god of war, last of us etc...

I like weird indie lo-fi stuff so that's why I'm quite happy with my old laptop at the moment - My aesthetic choice thankfully dictates the system requirements

I honestly don't care about any first party games. I just want Red Dead...

Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

Metroid 2 for GB remade for PC. Play it with a chinese knock off of your favourite retro pad. I use a Sega Saturn one. 

Yeah I had that installed a while ago but still not played yet.. No idea why as I am a huge 2d Metroid fan! Thanks for the reminder will have to check it out soon

Some people have just succeeded in making Zelda playable on PC through an emulator.

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

i will probably try it soon

 

 

Nintendo are gonna be pretty mad

 

 

Holy crap. I want this!

 

So my friend and I tested this out. It's fucking weird. I was ready to buy Zelda through that Wii U Helper client but it turns out you simply download the games, unpack it and then you're ready to go. That's it. It's insane and it feels sooooo wrong.

Yeah, there's rumours of anywhere from 500 to 700 USD for it... It's Microsoft's game to lose, so they better proceed carefully if they want any chance of catching up with and possibly overtaking Sony.

Sony might have played their cards right with the Pro - an intermediary console that forces Microsoft to bring out their next big thing earlier, and then Sony has time to easily best that and probably at a cheaper price point to boot with their next console.

Hopefully the next gen of console gaming gets us to 4K HDR 60 FPS and game makers can go back to focusing on making games rather than seeing how far they can push the hardware to tell a story.

So how well does it run? From what I've read, you need a pretty beefy PC/GPU to get BotW to run at Wii U resolution/framerate (which isn't saying much).

It does look lovely at 4K though:

what are your system specs and how well was it running?

Now playing Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes.

Dragon Quest XI will be released on July 29, at least in Japan

Beat Andromeda a week or so ago. Great ending and game overall. Will take a break from it until they fix all the technical problems though.

NOW playing the Uncharted games. They're amazing. And FUN!

for the persona 5 players

I've been playing a bunch of call of duty zombies with my lil brother. Since I'm leaving for Uni soon I thought it would be a good way to bond with him.

Anyone buying or considering buying a Switch, go do it in-store, and open that shit up before you fork over your money.  The bent console problem is real, as I found out, and bent docks are still being sold in the console box as well.

They were helpful in sending me a replacement console & dock, but I had to let them authorize another $300 on my credit card til they received my defective unit.  The QC this time around must be a new low for Nintendo, I'll be much more hesitant to be a day one buyer next time they do hardware.

well yea..

the display-dock-scratching thing is defo real, can confirm. Used it docked a few times, and there is a minor scratch on the screen where the plastic from dock touches the tablet.

also had some VERY LOUD beeping glitch thing for a few seconds in a Zelda loading screen. Hope that's just software.

One of my favourite shumps from the PS3 is getting a PS4/XBONE/Switch re-release with extra content - Sine Mora!

The guy who did the Silent Hill soundtrack did the music for this game, and it's amazing. Damn hard shump too.

Also available on Steam for the PC Master Race™
