I have phrased it wrong: Act 2 will be added before the end of the year - it is part of the game which will be released later.

As for the amount of money spent, my guess is that a lot of it went for artists and voice actors (they have some known names as voice actors) - it is a well finished product.

So I've been playing Illusion of Gaia lately. Great game so far. Highly recommend!

The only problem I've had with it so far is that it's by far better on a control pad than keyboard. The controls are more or less designed around the functionality of a handheld controller, and it ends up being hella clunky on keyboard.

I'm considering doing a thread where I post screenshots and reviews of the ROMs I'm playing. Would that be of interest to anyone?

Definitely interested. Been collecting a bunch of old ROMs to play through myself (your last post reminds me somehow, I still need to finish Terranigma) so it'd be cool to see some other opinions.

how would you feel about doing a ROM thread as a bi-weekly/monthly game club?

Empire · Post Post #455 (ISO) » Sun Jan 26, 2014 12:49 pm

Sounds cool. It'd definitely motivate me to actually finish the mountain of games I have in my backlog >_>

ok I'll make a thread and finish up Illusion of Gaia tonight maybe

So we have a Wii U now. Got the Mario bundle for it, and also Mario 3D world.

I actually like the game pad. It's neat to be able to play games on it when your other half is watching TV or playing on the PS4 or whatever.

I just need some suggestions for games aside from the Mario games we already have and the virtual console games I am eventually going to fill the system with...

Pikmin 3 is fun but it's not worth 60 dollars for the time given.

Wind Waker HD is also good but it's not worth 60 dollars if you've played the GC Game. It's an upgrade but it's not significant enough to warrant a 60 dollar pricetag.

I think Wind Waker has actually dropped a little in price. (Or is simply on sale.) I haven't played it on GameCube, but the little bit I've played and what I've watched on you tube doesn't interest me at all.

It could be like Dragon Warrior 7 where it takes a little bit of time for the game to get interesting, but going through the intro of Wind Waker on the demo was just painful for me.

so i got pie and reck copies of virtue's last reward

I feel it was a good choice solely for the look on pie's face after one of the more ridiculous endings

VLR is more mind-screwy than 999 or at least feels that way to me
but that's not necessarily a good thing
still a damn fun game though, my schoolwork suffered for a week when I first got it :V

the new LEGO: Marvel Universe game, has anyone else played it or tried it, and how is it? I was considering getting it for either PC or xbox 360

I have it, it's pretty fun. If you have a controller for PC, get it on PC, otherwise go for XBOX.

Flying controls are shit, but the rest of the game's solid.

My friend has it. It's actually a pretty good game. I never expected much from a lego series but it might surprise you. Not GOTY material but it's definitely good.

I have the wireless xbox controller reciever for windows so all my games are "xbox games"

even if they're for PC

but my PC also sucks ass

A kid I know has an absolutely shitty computer and he can run it fine with just some laggy cutscenes, so you're probably good.

Umbrage · Post Post #469 (ISO) » Wed Jan 29, 2014 4:15 pm

Mark of the Ninja is on sale on Steam - get it if you don't have it people!

Parama · Post Post #470 (ISO) » Wed Jan 29, 2014 7:03 pm

All of the this^
It should be criminal to get a game that good for that cheap.

Maruchan · Post Post #471 (ISO) » Thu Jan 30, 2014 7:24 am

Umbrage, I never thought I'd say this to you, but thanks. You've convinced me to get it for the (cheaper) PC instead of xbox, if it'll run on this pos.

Beat VLR. HOOOOLY SHIT.

Also, Legend of Zelda: Four Swords is free on the US eShop for anyone that wants it. Only until Feb 2nd.

Parama · Post Post #473 (ISO) » Thu Jan 30, 2014 10:50 am

it's a good damn thing I can't connect my 3DS to WiFi at school then \o/
I missed out on the thing where they gave like 20 free games for the veteran 3DS owners because of that crap too seriously in this day and age shouldn't be dealing with this

Maruchan · Post Post #474 (ISO) » Thu Jan 30, 2014 12:14 pm

aaaaaaand nope.

Can't get LEGO: Marvel.

Why?

Steam doesn't support a billing address thats a US Military APO/FPO address. I open a support ticket and they tell me to just put my homestate there instead, what happens? Shocker! The bank declined the billing information! You'd think Steam would be a big enough game distributor to realize HEY WE HAZ MILITARY CUSTOMERS WHO WANTS GAMES TOO!!!!!
