Indeed!  That was the only thing I had to go on while making a decision on what to purchase most times.  Columbia used to have a shop called Tons O' Toys, which had a huge Nintendo display of boxes on the wall.  It was magnificent.

I just found a retro video game store about 5 miles away from my house this weekend. They had a nice selection of nes titles and it brought back a lot of memories like that. Almost picked up Kid Nikki as a matter of fact. Plus, the boy got to play Duck Hunt with a proper zapper for the first time.

Might as well:

Played Street Fighter when I was upright; FE: Fates when I was resting. Played a tiny bit of PvZ: GW2 when I wanted to have stupid fun and shoot some 8 year olds…  Nyaa

**Truthfully, a lot of them have their mics on, you can hear them talking, you can pick them out on the battlefield by the way they move and act. There are people of all ages playing, but they are pretty obvious. I feel bad for a split second or two… before mowing them down and moving on.**

The Witch and the Hundred Knight Revival Edition was released earlier than expected. Was supposed to be Tuesday. Saw my pre-order status change on GameStop.Com on Thursday though. Called Friday, was told I’d get a call when it came in. When I didn’t hear from them, I went to the store on Saturday and was able to purchase it. Street Date was lifted.

Played this game on PS3 originally, but it had crashing issues that NIS America never, ever even attempted to address. It was a different enough game, being closer to Diablo than Disgaea in execution, that I never lost interest. I’ve played a good amount already and haven’t encountered any bugs, but we’ll see. I am a HUGE NIS fan, but if they burn me twice, I don’t think I’ll support their stuff anymore.

What about you, Big Black Skells?

I started a game of Grim Fandango after finishing The Witness. In fact the whole family has enjoyed figuring out Grim Fandango.

I played a little bit of good old Mega Man, some Gears of War UE, some Halo 5, and some Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Same as last week for me. Dragon Quest 3 and Darkest Dungeon. I am pretty sure at the rate I'm going I might have one of them completed by May.

Those games are far too advance to run on the NES.

Started master league in PES 2016. Played one match. Spent too long playing games?

The guys who made Trine are doing an AMA on Reddit and the title of it is, "We are the developers of Trine, and we failed our fans with Trine 3. Now we are trying to make a comeback. Ask us anything!"


Talk about tackling the elephant in the room, huh?

There was a Trine 2?

I feel sorry for them. They should just be making a completely different game rather than focus testing Trine 4.

Casting pearls before a Trine.

The only people talking about Street Fighter right now are the ones leeching on to drama. Fans aren't talking, blogging or Twitching about it, they're actually playing it. If they WERE to talk about it, it wouldn't be about the story. It would be about the incredible graphics, super-balanced engine, perfectly diverse roster, fast, fun and aggressive play-style. They'd be talking about the merits of the V-Triggers and Reversals, the Criticals, etc, etc... You know, about how the game actually PLAYS.


And what most aer missing is that they stuck to the release date so it cuold be used in a tournament event.  Otherwise they would have held it back.

Do I give a shit abuot Stree Fighter? No. But it is being unfairly attacked. Look at Splatoon and Halo 5 for gradual release, hardly any of the same level of negative feedback.  BTW, Halo 5 is f'n 70 GB install, WTF?

Leo, nothing you do here can be judged.  I do prefer game specific posting in the game forum for the game (OT) for historic puurposes because this forum is lost to time, but you don;t ever have to explain yourself.

This week I've been playing Halo 5. Got a new XB1. Woudl like for those of you podcast-hip to click the sig and let me know what you think. It was a short show this week, under an hour.

Halo 5 is, at this point in play, almost on the same level of Halo Reach, which is likely my favorite Halo game after the first one.

I will be playing Waking Dead Michonne and/ or Sunset Overdrive this week.  But I am super busy IRL so who knows.

Is it more or less entitled to want a videogame to release in a certain way, or to want people to react to a videogame in a certain way? Consumers are only entitled to a product working as advertised but, equally, the producers and distributors of that product are not entitled to a response from the purchasers of their product that cannot include what they or any other purchasers of that product perceive as fair or even unfair criticism.

Basically, even my totally neutral comment not only has absolutely nothing to do with entitlement (not sure if anyone even used that word here anyway), but is just as equally dull as anything else written on such a pointless and banal subject. It is only to my own personal detriment that I have written and posted it. There is no such material thing as justice in this world: this post is, in fact, more material than justice. Help me... Sad

It's as though I've been dropped into a text version of the game under podcast.

If the game was advertised "as is" then no consumer has any reason to complain. Their only legitimiate argument would be on the basis of prior performance, which is a legal argument that has standing.  So, if you have purchased the last three Ford Mustangs, and all came with airbags and seatbelts, even though the advertising did not explicitly state that airbags and seatbelts would be included in this years Mustang, you had a reliable basis on which to assume that such items would be a part of the product.

Most consumers would assume, that in the case of Street Fighter, there would be a bare basis of features that would be available for a full-priced fighting game.

However, as initially stated, I am pretty sure Capcom would have covered their bases in terms of what they promoted as being included, so it falls on the part of the purchaser to have done their due-dilligence prior to paying full retail for a product.

Capcom, in this case, stood by an agreement to release the game in time for a critical gaming event, and made sure that the features needed for that event were included in the game (I would argue that they stood by this commitment at their own detriment, given the bad will that has surrounded release). Anyone who paid full price for SF5, if they did not do diligent research prior to purchase, has no grounds for complaint.

My point is merely that no one in this scenario has any ground whatsover to stand on; we are, instead, all floating out to sea, coated in the viscid sewage of public discourse; some of us (not necessarily here), however, appear to believe we are standing on the beach.
