I'm not interested in any Nintendo controllers until they finally release the Vitality Sensor.

The Sims 1 & 2 Get Re-Release From EA


I'm on the fence with getting the Sim 2. It was the last non-mobile video game that my wife enjoyed, and my son has also been curious about it. But I don't think either of them would really play it for more than one sitting. If it were $20, I'd scoop it up immediately, but the $30 price tag is making me pause.

So I think I have officially put away Vampyr. Very frustrating, because I do like the game, but I just can't deal with all the frequent crashing. This morning was the last straw. A mini boss fight occurred in one of the streets as I was trying to complete a mission, and in the middle of the fight it crashed. So I restarted, and again midway through the battle it crashed. I think that was the eighth time in about 5 hours of gameplay???

So anyway, that's what I tried to play this weekend. Also, I streamed Kirby's Rainbow Curse a little bit. From an audience standpoint, it's interesting. Lots of people like to pop in and ask what it is. It gets mistaken for the DS game, Kirby's rainbow attack. Most people have never heard of it though, probably due to being a Wii u title. However, most people don't hang around very long to watch it. It lacks that level of familiarity that keeps most people hanging around.

I’m always a little skeptical when it comes to predictive technology. While it may work most of the time it’s the odd chances when it doesn’t work that I don’t want it to affect my gameplay.

I'd hold off for now. A lot of people have had technical issues with them. EA said that they are working on fixes now.

That's kind of bizarre to hear. I guess getting older games to work on modern day operating systems is more complex than I would have guessed.

I finally figured out how to beat the third level boss in Ninja Gaiden using just the sword! It took me a lot tries to figure out where to stand and the proper timing of the boss and bullets. I'm sure if I actually had some magic powers when I got there, it would've been much easier, but I can't seem to get there with anything useful. Now onward to the fourth level! Grinning

I'm on the final boss in Doom.

I still haven't figured out what the green power up is that's surrounded by spinning metal rings. I can never pick it up.

Lol I think its BFG ammo, which i never use, so I can never pick up the ammo.

Edit: I've been watching Doom Eternal and Doom the Dark Ages videos.

I feel like my brains playing tricks on me. I can't see any difference in graphical fidelity. There's more character models though.

What's going on, is it a cross gen game or is it diminishing returns?

This weekend I've been playing Ninja Gaiden (NES), Contra OG (PS5), Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse (SMS) and Super Mario Bros 2 Allstars (SNES).

I nearly finished Castle of Illusion last night, but ran out of lives. The game gives you a generous 9 continues, but I want to beat it without using them. It's been over 30 years since I last played all the way through it, and I still remember a lot of it. The timing on the spinning tree boss gives me the most trouble so far.

I've been playing Nina Gaiden II Black this weekend. I may be about halfway through the game.

That predictive technology sounds a lot like how the Quest2 senses where your fingers are rested. Basically it meassures the weight of your fingers and thumbs on each button, even if you're not pressing down on it. Quest 2 uses this to accurately show your hands on the controller.
