Catherine caused me to fucking scream. I'm not even joking, lol. I was so insanely shit at it and didn't choose a lower difficulty, so some of the later stages felt brutal. Let's just say when I was playing the later levels, "UNDO!" would be the word of the hour.

Yeah, Sony have been region free in terms of consoles/handhelds since the PS3/PSP, and X1 is now region free. Shame that Nintendo have to do this, but then they're often guilty of not releasing games at the same time everywhere more than many big hitter third parties these days, so they've probably got more reason to do it.

To be honest, I don't think most of us here are the target audience of these types of games.

These are going for a tenner on Amazon with a promo code (the pink one looks like a vibrator). Phone sometimes dies if I use it too much so this seems handy and not too large.

Neato. Wish I had time to play much this month, so much good stuff coming...

Oh my. Hey @Ike. Go nuts. That is seriously awesome.

Serious? I'm looking and looking, for the life of me I can't see what else that could be other than a dick.

@Cube what cunts. It's sad that there are morons like that around, the sort without two brain cells to rub together for warmth.

Regarding that - in terms of platforming mechanics, LBP leaves a lot to be desired. But I think the game is actually fun to play, not really because of the platforming but because of the creativity side of things (which is really good). Just playing the top 10 rated levels or so and you can see how much creativity has gone into them and just how much you can actually do. A lot of why I love some of the levels is due to being impressed that people have managed to reconstruct something we know inside the game. Even if you don't create a thing, there is some real good shit to be had there. Just looking at some of the variety... (that last one is just a snapshot of some of the 500 wires somebody placed in a level to make a functioning calculator...which I thought was pretty amazing). If you can look past that this really isn't meant to be a balls good platformer, there's still a lot of fun to be had with the game. Even if I don't see the need to buy every game in the series, I'm glad the console has it.

The 'build quality' thing might come from the fact you can collapse the headphones, so it's not a single strengthened piece of plastic. That said, I think the build quality is fantastic.

It's all daft, really. Neither is excusable, but one is perhaps a bit more understandable in some situations (if the team represents your home town or country). It's somewhat silly when people consider one company based in Japan to be scum and another not, based on some weird justifications, but then people can be pretty daft when it comes to sport, too:

This is pretty much where I stand too. Given the choice, I'd take DQVIII over IX any day. You could argue that the PC gives that but it's never as convenient, and I like that there's far more friends to play games with online with consoles.

I don't figure, you're annoyed all the games you want aren't coming to Wii U, but when they go to another console you don't have time for them? Starting to look not at all like a joke anymore, Wii.

Oh right so it was a joke. So you do have or intend to buy a PS4, XB1 or PC then? I'm trying to understand your aggravation if it was a joke, since you'll still be able to get all these games.

lol OK. I guess there's no arguing with that fanboy mindset.

Why won't you buy another console to get loads of awesome games? Seems like you're shooting yourself in the foot.

I'm not saying it makes sense. I'm just saying that the Wii and Wii U could fulfill near enough the same criteria as the GBC due to the backwards compatibility (bar HD which wasn't a thing back then), so you can't really say that's proof that it's not a successor. To me, having most games that the previous unit couldn't run (and at a higher quality/in colour) makes it for all intents and purposes a successor.

Only you can make the decision of whether you want 8GB or 16GB RAM. I have 16GB in my iMac because I process some really large images and it helps. If you aren't doing much intensive, then you probably don't need 16GB. But then again, you seem to have a lot to spend on a PC and a RAM upgrade is usually a decent and not too expensive choice.

Well, the number 2 and number 4 selling games for the week in Japan are PS4 games. So it can still chart. I think it's a problem with all home consoles there are the moment - but I do believe that once the games people really want hit (e.g. Final Fantasy) then the sales will pick up.

There are a lot more GBC games that didn't play on Gameboy though. You've also got to consider that Wii could play GameCube games, and Wii U can play Wii, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't class them as successor consoles. The real question - does the fact that a small number of GBC games also ran on the gameboy mean the GBC was just a revision? I don't think so. Nintendo could release a Wii game tomorrow, and label it as a Wii U title. That would run on both Wii and Wii U, kind of like the GBC games that would run on GB.

Form factor was different to the original gameboy. You'd hardly mistake the two. Name? Ok, so 3DS isn't a successor to the DS? Internal specs were obviously different enough given the GBC played colour games and most GBC games couldn't run on gameboy (biggest determinant to declare a 'successor' IMO). No idea how you think that's a model revision rather than a successor.

Yeah, so exciting! They've already said it's being made for home consoles... I guess it could go to Wii U, but that'd be pretty silly considering the situation. I'll be so annoyed if it doesn't come to PS4!

It's the Wii U that will have zero credibility. Ubisoft releases make it to the other consoles just fine. :p

Oh yeah, definitely. I meant more that the second GIF had a grainy sort of texture to it due to some compression effects. I meant if he'd seen the source footage the GIF was made from, I don't see how it could look worse than the GIF. A different video with poor compression can definitely leave you with a worse impression though.

lol. GIFs generally compress the fuck out of videos to render the quality worse. How can videos look worse than GIFs?
