Snow?
yeah.I don't know why they didn't try to clear the roads. We knew it was going to happen the last few days. In fact it was suppose to happen yesterday but they then said it would happen today.
SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:
.....well they suck, so it is an issue. But as I said, the controls are shit. Of course I only played it for a half hour, so I can only imagine what else is wrong.
Try playing it on your new PC. I guarantee its a much better experience.
Just because something isn't the best version, doesn't mean it's bad. I played Witcher 2 on 360 and absolutely loved it. It probably would have been my game of the year for 2012 if Mass Effect 3 and Borderlands 2 didn't come out the same year.
There was a television station around me that had a "If you haven't seen it, it's new to you!" campaign to boost viewership in the off season... I feel the same applies to games: If you haven't played the ultimate, best, optimal perfromance version of a particular game, you have no frame of reference and won't know any better.
What the Witcher does best ISN'T in the graphics or even the gameplay; they're both serviceable. It's the fact that Witcher doesn't pull punches at being more "mature" than most fantasy games and adds more depth to the entire world, characters and story than most RPG developers that churn out generic crap could ever hope to.
Should have saved it for a PS4/Xbone launch game.
Its not just the graphics. Its frame rate, loading, etc.
^ I don't remember any of those being an issue. As a matter of fact, the load times on the PS4 game stuck with me for being 100 times WORSE!

Just wait until they measure the damage Oculus will do...
...to wallets, first and foremost...
...and then the industry in general.

The moment developers need to resort to knocking other companies to boost their own, is the moment I lose respect and interest.
Instead of bad-mouthing Nintendo, Oculus should take lessons from them on how to make their products AFFORDABLE and accessible.
I've played well over 2330 games in my lifetime, I think my opinion can stand on it's own. No offense to Vader.
Tonight I watched a documentary called Atari: Game Over which I found on Netflix. It's quite good and I learned a lot of stuff about the Atari generation of designers and videogames. I think a lot of you guys would enjoyed it if you haven't seen it already.

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu
Even commenting on a 20 year old piece of hardware is concerning to me. Might as well be saying, "when they talked about the NES they said you were playing with power, but it wasn't really that powerful."
Yeah I thought the 360 version of The Witcher 2 was just fine technically as well, it just wasn't as good as The Witcher 3 is in other aspects outside of the technical.
There's a big PlayStation Essentials sale on PSN right now. Some great stuff there. I got Suikoden for $1.50 and Final Fantasy VII for $4.00 on the PS3. There's some other good stuff like Final Fantasy Tactics and Xenogears for $4 each.
I also think they'll be souring any chance of us ever seeing a Virtual Boy 2.
To return to the topic of NEO, what I find most irritating are the on-track hazards, especially the crates being moved across the track and the fire exhausts in another. Those 2 I hate with a deep burning passion.
If and when I ever own a console that allows for in-game purchases with stored credit card data, I'll be getting me one of those pre-paid credit cards that don't allow you to drop below zero. Not smart of the parents to not keep a better eye on this, but with all the games these days that have microtransactions built in some way or another using such a credit card seems much more manageable to me than keeping an eye on everything without just flat out blocking all forms of microtransactions.
Unlocked the Supersonic league in Fast Racing Neo.
Then placed 10TH out of 10 in it. Fuck me this game is hardcore. I was pretty great in Fzero GX this is a whole new level of skill required. I also somewhat agree with bugs, when boosting, landing those jumps is critical and it's hard to spot some. One missed jump can nuke that race and thus your chances at the top three.
Ass. Lol
I played the game, the exact same game you did. Nothing is going to change the world structure, the boring combat, the half assed action adventure moments, and terrible inventory.
Just finished Rise of the Tomb Raider, such a fantastic game. Got 84% complete, time to go for 100%.
Splatoon review is up.
