#287364 Currently playing thread

Posted by DexterousGecko on 31 May 2014 - 03:12 AM in General Gaming

Still keep coming back to Modded Minecraft. Nothing beats a true sandbox game.

Also picked up Watch Dogs (I know, I know, I'm a horrible human being) , seems pretty cool, will be trying it tomorrow.

#300402 GAMER-GATE

tldr; a bunch of guys are misogynistic? how is this news?




#312345 *Stands up and applauds*

Posted by DexterousGecko on 24 April 2015 - 05:07 PM in General Gaming

lets be honest here, mario 1 was a very small fraction of the game that new games are in terms of content and manhours/resources. Yes, there are nasty dlc practices, but some devs release a full game, and continue working on the game releasing new things as dlc. That I dont mind, in fact I really enjoy it. I love finishing with a game and feeling like it's complete, then having somehting added on for a few bucks.

 

Stop pretending dlc is the devil.

Or just buy all three imo

this. Why have a console war. Have an orgy instead.




#311724 AngryJoeShow Nintendo Rant

Posted by DexterousGecko on 08 April 2015 - 04:07 PM in General Gaming

Asian business practices are a joke. They have no concept of letting some of their rights go to make more profit. Nintendo videos on youtube are in no way losing them profits, infact their probably helping them. Didn't EA start making new copies of skate 3 solely due to pewdiepie playing the game on his channel? I've purchased numerous games based on let's plays and streams I've watched.

 

I live in korea and companies do the same thing. Me and a buddy used to go to this mom and pop dunkin donuts 3 times a week and my buddy would always ask for a little milk for his coffee. After a couple of months the owner thought she was being ripped off and started charging us $2.00 extra for a little milk. So they lost our business for the future over a quarter cup of milk 3 times a week. Nintendo is doing the same thing here. They're exercising their rights sure, but their alienating thousands of potential customers in the process.

 

Just because you have the right to do something, it doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.




#311032 Bloodborne - The first 18 minutes of gameplay

Posted by DexterousGecko on 26 March 2015 - 07:02 PM in General Gaming

This is the hardest introduction to the series I've played so far. DeS, DS, DSII all had a fairly gradual curve up to when you were suppose to die for the first time, this game is literally death 10 steps in. It's brutal. Then there is no hand holding at all. I've only played a couple of hours and just got to the second boss, but wow. The second boss feels harder than the last boss in DeS. Maybe it's because they took the shield away, but it's tough. The moves aren't as predictable and they can add a second or third attack depending on the players proximity.

 

It's awesome though, not sure if it will have the depth of the other souls games, but time will tell. The lack of customization, weapons and armor bother me slightly.




#288635 Watch_Dogs sold over 4 millions units during its first week

Posted by DexterousGecko on 07 June 2014 - 10:52 PM in General Gaming

Hahaha, look at the two of you. Arguing about the same thing while whinging at each other.

Someone bring me prawn crackers. Popcorn us overrated.

who are you talking about? the OP? or..?




#288415 Watch_Dogs sold over 4 millions units during its first week

Posted by DexterousGecko on 06 June 2014 - 06:20 AM in General Gaming

I do this really weird thing with video games, music and movies. I watch/play/listen to what is fun. I know! It's crazy. If something gives me some enjoyment to an extent that I think I've gotten my money's worth, I'm generally happy! I know, I should really be worried about the state of video games and the "bigger picture" but I honestly dgaf. If my buddies all want to pick up the newest COD game and play over skype a couple of hours a week? Sure, it's totally worth it. Watch dogs? It's a fun game, what's wrong with that? Do you not remember the pile of pure rainbowe that made up 95 percent of wii games? PC games? this newest trend for paying for a game that isn't even finished yet? I'm sorry, but sometimes I want a big budget, stupid popcorn movie/game to enjoy for a time.

 

I get tired of all of this hyperbole about the state of video games. Play what you want, don't play what you don't want. If you can't find something you want? All the better. Learn a frickin language or something.




#301894 What game has the best storyline ever?

Posted by DexterousGecko on 04 November 2014 - 07:36 PM in General Gaming

FFVI, before the series went completely off the track into nonsense story land. (FFIX and FFXII being exceptions)




#291502 Playstation Now expensive?

Posted by DexterousGecko on 25 June 2014 - 06:44 AM in General Gaming

why in God's name would you link that 'thing'? Don't encourage him.

 

On topic: Sony still believes that their name alone gives them the right to charge a premium for their products. Unfortunately, the rest of the world has more than caught up and has lower prices. Sony needs to make a good product, sell it for a competitive price and stop assuming that people still gaf that they're Sony.

strange, didn't see your source OP.




#301069 Ubisoft FORCING Assassin Creed Parity for PS4 and X1

Posted by DexterousGecko on 26 October 2014 - 04:23 AM in General Gaming

I belong to an FB XBone group b/c I took the plunge and got a Madden XBone bundle.... It was funny to hear these people talk about how they didn't really care about the graphics so much. But they will turn around and diss on the Wii U for not having enough power.

That's like comparing an Acura NSX, a Nissan 300zx and a Dodge Neon. Two of these will have "enough" power, one isn't even in the conversation.




#310435 Titanfall 2 confirmed for PS4, Xbone and PC

Posted by DexterousGecko on 12 March 2015 - 07:12 PM in General Gaming

I've never played, advocated, or sang the praises of Titanfall.

 

I just find it incredibly pathetic that every game that isn't something Nintendo-related or doesn't line up with your particular likes is suddenly AAAAAAAAAAAAA 'garbage' just because you dislike it.

 

Seriously, just lay off. We all know you hate anything by a major publisher, no need to regurgitate it on every news posting about their games.

 

Heck, that's why I barely post or talk here anymore. Anything that even minorly supports a franchise that you, 3Dude or a handful of other people around here is almost immediately met with vitriolic negative reactions to the point of not even wanting to bother with posting anymore.

have to agree, this site has become a graveyard recently.




#301448 Petition to bring Smash to Sony consoles... wait, what?

Yep, obvious fakeboyism.




#288160 Ubisoft the game review

Posted by DexterousGecko on 04 June 2014 - 02:47 PM in General Gaming

I was merely exaggerating to make the point. What's the saying? 'Take the plank out of your own eye before trying to take the splinter out of your neighbour's eye'?




#288102 Ubisoft the game review

Posted by DexterousGecko on 04 June 2014 - 07:17 AM in General Gaming

Shall I make a review on the hundred and fifty Mario games that are basically identical? Throwing stones when you live in the house of Nintendo isn't a wise decision.




#288165 Triforce tattoo I'm getting.

Posted by DexterousGecko on 04 June 2014 - 03:11 PM in General Gaming

I did judge you, but honestly it's not my place, and it's your body. Also, it doesn't look ghetto, and it won't be out there for everyone to see all the time.

#310105 PS4 VR headset gets improved specs with 2016 release

Posted by DexterousGecko on 05 March 2015 - 03:18 PM in General Gaming

I can see the quality of software lacking for the device. The novelty may wear off quick when the software seems more like a tech demo or half finished idea.  It's a pretty huge undertaking and it's not like Sony devs have been lighting the world on fire with continuous quality content for the ps4.

 

It may go the way of the vita at least regarding direct support.


 

Whether that is legit or not, we already know the console's cpu is a bottle neck as stated by a variety of devs. I think the problem with morpheus is people are setting themselves up for disappointment because they wrongly expect the quality of software and graphics to match what's already on the PS4.

yikes, if people are expecting the same level of graphics on a vr then yea, fair enough. I've already realized it's impossible to expect ps4 level graphics on a ps vr device, so I guess I've saved myself any trouble. I just have issue with "some dev" being quoted as saying a certain device will fail, etc, etc.




#310076 PS4 VR headset gets improved specs with 2016 release

Posted by DexterousGecko on 04 March 2015 - 07:33 PM in General Gaming

If the PS4 can hardly do 1080p on its own, how are the developers going to tackle 1080p times two, at 120 FPS?

 

Got some words from some game dev.

"some" game dev? wtf? He's not talking like someone developing games, he's talking like a random internet guy like me and you. What proof do we have that this "dev" is indeed who he says he is? Hell, you could have written all of that!

 

on topic: With the amount the ps4 has sold world wide, if they're smart, the morpheus has the potential to do well. either way, vr tech is improving and i'm excited to finally be able to go into games!




#311456 I Finally Got One!

Posted by DexterousGecko on 04 April 2015 - 02:15 AM in General Gaming

I'm not watching a damn video just so you can get free views. What exactly did you 'finally get'?

 

and mods: is this type of advertising allowed? seriously? if this isn't clickbaiting i don't know what is.




#311491 I Finally Got One!

Posted by DexterousGecko on 04 April 2015 - 05:20 PM in General Gaming

April fools. Watch the video, it's fun. Give him a free view, and while you are at it you can click on the ad before the video starts. That will surely net him a couple pennies.

#290956 Sony officially kills the Vita

Posted by DexterousGecko on 19 June 2014 - 03:51 PM in General Gaming

strange, I've heard rumors talking about a ps4/ vita bundle being released by Sony.




#292302 ASA shuts down EA's filthy lying Dungeon keeper ad campaign.

Posted by DexterousGecko on 03 July 2014 - 05:03 PM in General Gaming

I'm glad to see the forums can continue to maintain the same level of maturity I've come to expect over the past couple of years.

it IS a Nintendo forum...
