Nolan

I think I tried that but to no success.

Ugh. Fuck that lightbar. I play in dark rooms, and on the lowest setting its still blindingly bright.

Am currently lying on the couch pouring crisps into my mouth....

The only reason my vita is dusty is that it quit taking a charge and won't turn on. I'd very much like to finish P4Golden and Disgaea 4.

Also in fairness Sony has far more, and better sales than Microsoft has had. Neither come close to steam of course.

I'd be willing to bite if it offered 4K service like the One S. That's only because I'm debating a 4K tv though. If that doesn't happen neither will either slim console.

I'd argue less that their market doesn't want it as opposed to Nintendo has a much better hold on the handheld market. Better 3rd Party Support and better 1st party support. It's a uphill battle, and it's similar to the uphill battle the NX faces. I'm not sure anyone really took umbrage to stating the Vita is a failure, I just disagree with the idea that Sony wouldn't try again in the future. I'd also argue that Sony did a fine job at attempting innovations to the handheld market, two (actual) analog sticks as opposed to nubs, an under utilized multi-touch touchpad on the back, multi-touch capacitive screen. It failed because of software, not lack of innovation. But whatever, not exactly the thread for this even if there are parallels.

I'll give it a spin later on. Watching too many LPs as it is already.

What are you basing this on? The Vita was actually quite a nice product, and it had some decent support. With time I could see them pushing another handheld.

S'alright. Everything feels good and I love the mobility in both games. Not loving that it feels like even if I get the drop on someone they turn around and kill me. The feedback to me feels like I get hit by just a couple shots and watching the killcam I see I'm pumped full of lead. It's a solid maybe. If I cared about online more I'd likely get it.

To further iterate on the point of things changing, the FFXV release date. It was based on the "gold" version of the game. They decided instead of pressing that to disc with a day 1 patch to push the date and not have a day 1 patch. Official shit changes. Sometimes for the better.

Curious which game (and how you know 812 days.)

No, but I'm sure I'll get it at some point. I didn't get the Wii U until the Windwaker bundle. I'll likely wait for a good library of what I want to play to be available. Unfortunately that makes me part of the problem. Not supporting the console makes 3rd parties less likely to support it as well. It's a pretty shitty cycle.

You just don't seem to get it do you....

Ehhh. It was okay. I was at my parents one weekend and they had just started Episode 2 (I'd only seen the first episode and decided I didn't care enough to watch more.) long story short I was there long enough we finished the series. Its a good show, but I'd prefer more Arrested Development or Knights of Sidonia from Netflix.

Sometimes reading this thread causes literally pain in my head.... Because fuck you that's why! Sorry that's just my go to response for unexplainable circumstances that often make no sense.

I'd much rather this than massive day 1 patches. Fuck Day 1 patches. If you have to deliver a multi GB download to complete your game then it obviously wasn't fucking gold yet, and shouldn't be pressed to disc. Frankly I feel that SE should be applauded for this decision and being somewhat honest about. I'm also said that I think this behavior deserves applause though. Fucking games industry....

What in the fuck? I feel like I'm missing something but oh well. I seriously thought from the title it was a spambot selling Soap for Harpies. Happy birthday I guess then.

That's what I thought. And Slim models also removed the capability of the HDD. Sooooo PS2 falls into the same sort of category as the GC did in terms of online, just with far more support. (Also of note, Dreamcast only came with 56k and a broadband modem was a separate purchase.)

Well, you said it so I guess I don't have to.

Didn't PS2 online also require a bit of hardware? Or am I just thinking MMOs for the HDD.

Correct, two years ago MS finally removed the paywall to use Netflix and a variety of other apps. Sony having had free online for the PS3 for life (until plus offered benefits) never had such apps behind the paywall. Even now I'm fairly certain it is just multiplayer being paid for.

Anyone playing this lately? Just picked it up on PS4. Early impressions are its trying really hard to be OG Legend of Zelda. Not necessarily bad, the other impression though is that they went a bit too far minimalist. Not far enough that info can't quit be gleaned but you get to a shop and are just showed some images.... Not super helpful. All in all though I think I'll enjoy it.

More...nah also importantly. Muthafuckin Disney 16bit games are on GoG. Back when they were the shit. Aladdin, Lion King the others I can recall. Now if only I had the energy to boot up my PC.

As ergonomic as the Wii U controller currently is. Just narrower it looks to me.
