General Video Game Discussion Silver Version

[Eternal Darkness]

Are we doing that Mars mission mentioned in VLR this time around? Trying to go in blind, but that's one thing I'm curious about

 

[Abstinence Pistols]

Presumably. A lot of the characters are recognizable in what we've seen so far so it seems like we are but this is Zero Escape so I wouldn't put it past them to trick us with it somehow.

I just hope we get a lot of the answers from VLR. The whole game was amazing but the end was a huge letdown. Felt like it just threw a ton of ******** at you at once and said "lol play the sequel".

Not to mention

Spoiler: ending spoilers

Akane basically telling you that nothing you do matters because lol multiverse so even if everything goes right the best you can do is stop the virus in one universe there are still an infinite number where it still happens so who cares?

Whatever though. Uchikoshi's writing hits a lot of snags sometimes but after Zero Escape and Ever17 he's earned my trust enough for me to play it even with my reservations. Plus this is the first one I'll go into completely spoiler-free if I can keep it going. Been going to great lengths to avoid learning anything this time around.

On a different note, I've been playing Nier the past few days as well and it's slowly grown on me a lot. Combat is frustrating as hell and can be kind of a chore sometimes but holy **** the artstyle, the music, the story, the atmosphere, it's all so insane and wonderful. And the way it changes so dramatically in different areas of the game. It's unlike anything I've ever played before.

I've heard about a lot more people getting into Nier lately, assuming it's from all the attention the sequel is getting. I'm glad, the game's a clunky mess, but a fantastic one. So excited that Platinum's doing the sequel. It had potential to be the best.

Also I'm just as excited for Zero Time Dilemma. It's been a long wait, and we've all been itching for those last answers.

Wii U release of Mighty No. 9 genuinely bricks the damn console.

Steam thinks its an actual virus.

360 version has been delayed once again because of a certification bug.

Inafune's team livestreamed a run of the game this morning, and that crashed.

Inafune's translator legitimately said the game was "better than nothing."


It's been an amazing day so far.

 

[Jb]

I feel for people who backed this garbage. Vita versions is also delayed

 

[Hydrohs]

This is a truly unfortunate experience, really gives a bad rap to Kickstarter projects in general too, which is a shame.

 

[Jb]

It's getting slammed in the raitings as well. I'm not sure what to really think of this whole situation.

First the game had like 7 delays
Then it made an ad that made fun of its fanbase
It's crashing systems
It's creator doesn't seem to care
Not it's getting hot hard in the raitings


Everything that could of went wrong has gone wrong

 

[Karxrida]

I wonder how all of this will affect the (probably premature) attempt at franchising.

Hopefully Comcept compensates for all of the Wii U systems they murdered.

Could have*

They are most certainly not going to do that, pretty much a guarantee.

 

[Nibbles4Ever]

I finally just beat ice man's level on megaman 1. Because of this specific level I will never replay it, who at Capcom thought it was a good idea to have the stupid dissappearing blocks and moving and sometimes shooting platforms over nothing in every megaman game???!!! XP

 

[Sonic Boom]

The PC version of the game doesn't even save data. Turn it off, and there goes the file.

Oh my wow.

Also even proofreading's a luxury now I guess.

 

[Karxrida]

Wow, this release sounds like a complete disaster.

Also even proofreading's a luxury now I guess.

Can't read it due to small text and bad resolution. What's the error?

 

[Sonic Boom]

Two of them. There's "a AcXel" in the last line, and "ther" three lines above it.

I've heard that "ther" was used instead of "this" in every note like this in the game, in which case, wow.

 

[Charizard Champion#06]

After a pathetic slew of delays I finally get to play Mighty No. 9.

Just kidding I redeemed my code to find out the PS Vita version is delayed on the release date.

 

[TheJLeeTeam]

My local Wal-Mart and Best Buy stores are still selling PS2 games. Not a lot, its pretty much just sports games, rhythm games like Rock Band, and stuff like that.

 

[Karxrida]

The credits of Might No. 9 are about 4 hours long due to listing all of the names of the Kickstarter backers.

Just when you thought Canada was the worst place to be a gamer, Australia strikes!

http://techraptor.net/content/meiq-labyrinth-death-refused-classification-australia

Idea Factory resonated with...

"Hello everyone!
Unfortunately the Australian Government Classification Board (AGCB) has chosen not to rate our upcoming PS Vita title, MeiQ: Labyrinth of Death, due to an interactive touch system on the character menu. As a result, MeiQ: Labyrinth of Death will not release for this region. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause Australian fans.

MeiQ: Labyrinth of Death will still come to North America and Europe for the PS Vita this Fall 2016.
We thank you for your continued support and understanding!

- The Idea Factory International team"

 

[Hydrohs]

Not sure why anyone would ever think Canada would be the worst. Besides our flailing dollar right now North America as a whole gets all the same products.

Pretty sure Australia is the worst place to be a gamer by a landslide, not the first time something like this has happened.

 

[Akwakwak]

You guys can keep ur FF, meanwhile Galgun was announced for localization and it comes with a panty screen cleaner cloth so I'm the real winner here...

Panty what?

Also I missed the flash sale I guess, stupid work.

Plus my PS + ended, I was sure it would end in October, I was wrong it seems.

There is one upside to this: one of them was literally "Kamiya was right".

Yes he was.
