Video Games

I've been playing the demo for Rayman Legends recently and wow it's amazing. The worlds are gorgeous, the gameplay feels just a little bit tighter and the sense that the game is a half-baked mashup of earlier ideas has all but evaporated.

I feel a bit sad there's no real Murfy implementation on PS3, but then I suspected that a dressed up version of the Luma from Mario Galaxy 2 might not be all that compelling over an extended period of time.

So, I preordered Saints Row 4 and started playing it today.

Guys

Guys, listen

It is awesome

The only thing I dislike so far is that they didn't keep that rock channel on the radio

Played Altered Beast and Golden Axe for Sega Genesis this morning...


....good way to start the day. [ ]

I personally wouldn't mind the one time payment thing.

...So Zenimax and Bethesda have decided on a price:

Online games like that can't win, really. If they're free you get nickel-and-dimed over most of the features just so the game can turn a profit, and if they have a subscription you inevitably feel ripped off and end up wondering what the hell you're spending so much money on.

I'm consistently impressed by what one can do in LittleBigPlanet. I'm trying to make a murder mystery game, and as a part of it I've made a magnifying glass that reveals hidden items when you look at things through it. That Move pack came in handy.

That said, I can't seem to get wormholes to work. Basically, wormholes let you move Sackboy from one part of the level to another without killing him. But as you can't make a two-way wormhole it makes my "press triangle to enter the room" idea problematic.

Couldn't you just use two sets of wormholes?

Oh, I do, but for some reason, when you layer them on top of each other it automatically teleports you from one set into the next set, even if they aren't wired together. It also seems to do this if you stack them.

Got a couple more Genesis games....Aladdin and King of the Monsters 2 (apparently a port of a Neo-Geo game....I will see how well it fares in translation).


....also...I had to get a Genesis 2 because the Genesis 1 I was looking at had just been sold when I went down last week...what do I find today? Another Genesis 1...if it makes it until next Friday it will be mine...and I will have a Genesis in two rooms of the house. I do not care. [ ]

Dream looks awesome but I can't play it because my computer lags it to hell

Sir, you are being hunted IS a fun game, but it's still being worked on. They plan on adding more terrains, animals you can hunt, and some big guys like a poacher who uses traps on you and a sort of Lord who roams his island for human intruders. Right now, it's still great, and you can even choose if you want the game to call you "sir" or "madam" on the menu

I started playing the new version; you can import saves from the old version until the 1st of September. (You can still play that save on the old version after you import it btw.)
The cookies you had will remain, and all your buildings (and grandmas and whatnot) are converted into cookies so you can buy them again in the new version.
One reason why this version is better: it makes cookies as long as it's open in a tab, the screen doesn't have to be open like in the old version. It's more like the Candy Merchant game now, I liked that.
It's also prettier now and you can sell buildings, which you couldn't before, and there's a bunch of boosts and updates that you can buy.

EDIT: Join meeeee so I can know if I'm doing a good job or need to click this cookie harder to beat you. I need to be the Cookie Mistress.

VG: New Diablo 3 expansoin......SWEEEET

sooo i have prepurchased amnesia a machine for pigs, and outlast. and i plan to play them both for my let's play channel....
Y DID I DO THIS I'M SO SCARED

This is how obstinate I am: when I went to The Exchange to buy a Sega Genesis two weeks ago, I was hoping the Model 1 I'd been looking at was still there. When I got there, it had already been sold, so I bought the Model 2. Fine.

...fast forward to last Friday, when I go back to pick up a couple of games and a second controller. What's sitting there? Another Model 1....

...so what did I get yesterday, and then hook up to my 47" flatscreen television? The Genesis Model 1.

So now I have a Genesis in two rooms of my house...because reasons. [ ]

JT I'm staging an intervention.

You clearly cannot handle all these videogames.
Give them all to me.

Now help yourself to some complimentary Intervention Ice Cream.

No, they're MINE! MY OWN! MY PRECIOUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.......[ ]

Pfffff. I got an Atari 2600 in it's box.

Excellent. Four switches or six? Also, welcome to the club. *gives you an official membership card* [ ]

4 switch I think

You're always bringing in the hard questions
Well I'll never talk! You'll never break me! Do your worst!
