System Wars Lounge v54: The So Many Games Edition

That looked cool. Would be great if they had a gun ad-on for the move to play with that game.

@soulitane: There were some for the PS3 version of the move ( I recall one for KZ3) so I'm sure that if this takes off they'll make all kinds of accessories for it.

@charizard1605: Dunno. I can't remember the password for the email I used so I can't see the ban message they must have sent me.

@commonfate: Nope, I've had member status for awhile.

@Xaero_Gravity: lol

Silly Xaero, getting banned outside SW! :P

@Desmonic:

GameTrailers and 1UP are the only forums I've never been banned from. ;_;

@Xaero_Gravity: No #Xaero4King in those it seems lol

Oh noez, Wil Wheaton is in a Nintendo game.

Meh. Parasyte is great because specifically how he drew the eyes imo. That was the biggest draw. Anime's changed artstyle destroys that.

Also, **** female voice on Lefty.

Xaero had it right, it's Hannibal, and it's not even close.

Not this again

Death Parade is awesome.

I hate daylights savings time.

The only thing that truly bothered me about Death Parade was when I watched episode 7 when it was revealed that...

the arbiters are artificial beings that don't have any emotions.

The problem with this is that considering everything that has been going on in the series contradicts this. But as the series went on now things feel like they're starting to get into place as if these games that the humans play are a way for the arbiters to gain "humanity" seeing the humans and their actions. It's also pretty obvious that..

Decim has human emotions judging by what we seen.

But all in all, Death Parade is a great anime and I'm looking forward to watching it till the end.

Ordered two TV DVD's from Amazon (one of them from another seller).

Haha, nah. We just both like Chie. I'm my own unique individual person. :)

The folk at Previously Recorded tried too hard to complain about The Order.

I got, and actually quite like, Destiny.

I dub thee FinalstarV2.0

DmC sucks.

Like, it really, really sucks. And I like Ninja Theory games.

My Smash bros sound track order confirmation from Nintendo came entirely in Spanish. Should I be worried?

That game rubs me off the wrong way and makes me want to avoid it and stick to the older DMC's (which I still need to beat the first one).

Well after last year and the Order I think all of our standards got low. :P

HOLY SHIT!

Yup plus that opening is ridiculously catchy.

And I'm not much of a "j-pop" fan.

@Seabas989: But my last year was spent entirely on Nintendo :P

So I bought Monster Hunter 4. Should get it on Friday. Anyone else here play?

Question for anyone here who's familiar with Phantasy Star II.

Lately, this strange thing has been happening when I play. I get into a fight and select the fight command. After everyone goes their round, it's normally supposed to allow me to either select fight again or strategy. Instead, the game is automatically selecting fight for me. Now, at first, I naturally suspected my X button was stuck down a little bit, just to the point where only Phantasy Star II could detect it (my controller has never given me problems before); so I switched that input to triangle just tonight, and it did it again. At this point, I was 99% sure it was my copy of Phantasy Star II (Sega Genesis collection on PS3, not physical cartridge) just glitching out, but I decided to make 100% sure, so I switched controllers. Sure enough, the game still did it on this controller with both the X and triangle button.

My question is is there some sort of setting I have the game on that's making it do this? It never did this at first, but started doing it a while ago and has since done it more and more to the point where it doesn't almost every time. If there's no solution, no big deal really.

@mems_1224:

Yeh boi.

Yep. We should go hunting.

Also, speaking of grindy games, I am so getting into Destiny. if anyone here still plays, we should totally get together and play some.

Don't know if you guys are sports fan(cricket) or not but.... **** yeah we won. Suck it Brits.

@charizard1605:

I'll reinstall it today then.

Some rumours floating around about Quantum Break being delayed. Somewhat expected considering the precedent set with Alan Wake....

Hopefully they'll prove us wrong come E3!

I always thought Kaepernick was garbage anyway.

Some sweet controller skins for MLB 15 preorders.

NYC

How about new covers for the damned thumbsticks >:(

So I finished up a trilogy of D&D campaigns nearing a year ago. The whole story was an incredible epic that the players enjoyed, and although we were sad to see it go I was relieved that we could resolve everything for that story. Now, I have an idea for another installment and I have a group of people, some who were players in the trilogy and others who had only heard the stories, who really want me to GM it.

I feel like Hideo Kojima with MGS. >_<

@Xaero_Gravity: Sounds good. You have the PS4 version, right?

and Max Payne

@mems_1224: This reminds me

Halo needs its own Battlefront.

@jg4xchamp: Don't recall the Max Payne stuff as I was but a young lad with no Internet at the time of their release! :D

@charizard1605:

Indeed.

The original had some dev hell and was delayed pretty often. It and it's sequel went on to be beast third person shooters, two of the best the genre had to offer, and vastly superior to what Remedy did after that. Plus if I'm allowed a moment to get some conjecturing in, will probably end up being more interesting than anything shown in Quantom Break.

Regardless more Remedy is a good thing. Sam Lake is the shit.

@jg4xchamp: Yeah, the Max Payne games were pretty fun (I have yet to play 3 since it looked pretty generic and boring)!

I like the time control stuff on Quantum Break but they need to use it correctly, which may be a bit tricky. It's one of those "powers" than can be easily too OP if given to the player without much restriction but also comes across as super gimmicky if they only allow it's use in very specific scenarios.

Still, it's a shame if it's delayed. Though that does beg the question of how Remedy manage their projects... clearly this isn't something new after all.

It's probably getting delayed so they can port it to PC as well

Poor Lems XD

Small studio, big aspirations, usually working for a premiere publisher. Max Payne was with Rockstar (albeit technically before GTA 3 I think), and now Microsoft. It's like an Obsidian game launching buggy. Smaller team, way more ambitious in design and scope than its predecessor (KoToR/Fallout 3), less time to work=bugs. Part of that is on Obsidian, part of that is is circumstance.

I wonder if PoE will be buggy as hell.

Was South Park buggy too?

@jg4xchamp: Makes sense. You'd imagine they would have increased their staff considering the big name projects they've worked on.

Also I have to say that 50% of the charm of FNV (and Fallout 3 too) were the bugs! :P I was also pleasently surprised with their work on Stick of Truth. Graphically impressive and virtually bug free (3 playthroughs, not 1 single bug encountered on my part). It was a fairly linear and small game though.
