Has anybody here had any experience with Playstation Move? How did you like it? Have you played Resident Evil 5 with it, and is it as good as RE4 Wii Edition controls wise?
Wow talk about a fall from the mountain top. Though if Wii U takes off getting stock now would be a great idea.
Dvader, you played with Move?
Nintendo has sat on their ass for years, it was only a matter of time before they fell off. 2008 was Wii's peak, software and everything has gone down from there. 2007 was still its best year for games. IMO they should have lowered the price on Wii to $99 last year, and had Wii 2 releasing this September, not next September.
In the words of the great Samwise Gamgee:
It's like in the great forums Mr. GG, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and trolls they were, and sometimes you didn't want to open the thread, because how can the thread be happy. How can the forum go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened. But in the end it is only a passing thing ,the trolls ,even darkness must pass. A new day will come and when the posts shine it will shine out the clearer. Those are the forums that stay with you, that meant something even if you were to small to understand why. But I think Mr. GG I do understand, I know now, folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't, they kept posting, because they were holding on to something.
GG: What are we holding onto Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in these forums and its worth posting for.
Only at a store, everyone says its on par if not better than Wiimote.
You are correcr about Nintendo, they should have changed systems much earlier, I was pushing for that for a while now.
Games I've given 10's to in the last 3 years.
http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/aspro73/games-ive-given-10s-to-in-the-last-3-years/46-65078/
I was surprised by how many I've given out when I looked back at my records (these were chosen from games I have beaten in the last 3 years).
A "10" means that the game is perfect and cannot be improved upon in anyway.
2 things struck me about that link:
#1: Wow, Giant Bomb have a really robust collection system.
#2: You gave Sonic All Stars Racing a 10.
On the whole forums and people thing. There are evangelists (those that have a preference and try to persuade through evidence), fundamentalists (those believe there is only one way and don't attempt to persuade because they don't need evidence, they have faith), non-believers and people who are quietly confident in their faith. If you are an evangelist or fundamentalist you will attract the most positive and negative attention.
Personally, I am a non-believer. Someone like Archie is someone who is quietly confident in his faith. We have a lot of lapsed evangelicals and fundamentalists. I think we do have borderline evangelical/fundamentalists (like Leo and Geek).
A good forum needs all of these elements. Drawing greater personal admiration or animosity beyond a discussion of gaming is unnecessary - -as Steel pointed out last week.
You have given more 10s to Sonic games than I have (which is zero).
I haven't given out a ten since LBP1 and that was like 3 years ago.
SASASR is a perfect game. I've only played the PS3 version, so I don;t know how it is on other systems. I hate Kart racers, but this one transcends the genre. It's made by Sumo Digital, a British developer who made Outrun 2. It's nuanced, brilliant and has hours of replay (I've logged over 40 hours on it).
Oh and I forgive Nintendo since we are getting free stuff, yay!
I'm out for the rest of the day, so someone else can do the news.
Peace
Did anyone else know that the Mario 3DS game is called Super Mario 3D Land.
Using the Land name, wow.
I didn't care much about Rage for the longest of time, I was going to get it for the new engine (it should both look and run great on my aging PC because Carmack is God and it's optimised for 60 fps on consoles) coupled with the modability (it's been a while since a mod community formed around a modern engine, I hope this will be it, but even if it's not to the level of past glories there should be at least a few awesome projects) but more recent footage (maybe not this) has made me interested in the game itself, it might be pretty good after all.
The optimist proclaims we live in the best of all possible worlds
while the pessimist fears this is true.

I'm definitely interested in Rage. Can't wait to see how it runs on my PC.
BTW guys, I wanted to post pics of me playing Fallout New Vegas, but I can't figure out the screenshot thing with this game. Its linked to my Steam account, yet I can't take screens via steam for some reason. So I tried the print screen button, it says it took the screenshots...yet when I go to paste them into Paint, I get nothing but a black screen. So I give up.
Print screen should not have any message about taking the screenshots, it should just do it with no notification as it's a Windows function. If you actually get a message in game when you press print screen then perhaps the game has its own screenshot function tied to the same key. Look through its folders.
A litle google-fu says the above assumption is correct. Check your Fallout folder (ugh not even a screenshot folder if it's like 3) and behold at the useless load of bitmaps that have been eating your space.

Ouch!
So, the 3DS will soon be $170. Meh, still don't want one.
