So how much of what that chart says is actually true? Regarding number of modes, maps, etc.

And has there been any word on split-screen local multiplayer?

Is Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut any good? I've already got Shadowrun Returns but I haven't played it (Steam libraries, maaan) and it's a little over £3 in the sales for the next few days.

And unlike other shittier crowd funded vidya, there is a playable alpha build you can try.

Don't forget that so many things went bad with people leaking the worldwide release of Pokemon everywhere, they decided that we don't deserve to have that.

>I really don't care about shooters on consoles,
I don't care about shooters *at all*, and I can say that Splatoon is incredibly fun even so. I got it as part of the packaged-in Wii U bundle thing, so I figured I would give it a try, and it's tons of fun. It's not really like a standard shooter since you're not trying to kill opponents, and that makes a big difference in how the thing plays and feels. It's less about twitch reflexes and more about strategy.

Well, those who were against the idea of paid mods can smile:

Well thats a whole jimquisition episode wasted.

Yea a format was better than their myriad of Storage Media they attempted in the run up to MP3 Device Standardization and their replacement by phones and tablets.

And really that kinda game is fine when its new to market and their competitor hasn't been out there for over twenty years with successful handhelds. Really if the VITA had used standard MicroSD Memory Cards . It would have been a much harder choice between the two handhelds.

>>194288
They used CDs and DVDs with the first two Playstations, though. And for something they wanted to push, UMDs and Vita cards aren't even used with other Sony devices.

>>194292
That just means they hadn't developed a "reasonable" competitor to CDs/DVDs at the time. Also, part of their reason for supporting DVDs was that it made the PS2 one of the cheapest DVD players on the market at release and so helped to sell a lot more.

Crap

Is this real or is Polygon really that inane (not that I'd doubt the latter).

>>194285
>>194499
Hmm, as I thought it's a shoop. Title is cribbed from the Bayonetta 2 review and such and such. Not that Polygon doesn't have serious issues with self-righteousness, and their Xenoblade 3D review is pretty meh, suffers from blog-level tone and I'm already spotting a few outright errors in it.

Man, the Midgar parts of FF7 were so fucking cool. So fucking cool. I just remembered those out of the blue. I don't know why.

>>194002
I know, right? Like, the game opening up was awesome and all, but those first few hours in magic-cyberpunk-ville got me hype as fuck.

>>194002

I found it pretty dull and tedious, but I played it long after it first came out.

>>193480
I feel that its like Zelda more Alternates that come from a source but not Sequels. In that I still want a SMRPG2 for the 3DS.

And Club Nintendo went down hard.

Quite sad to see one pass that young.

Sony has sold Sony Online Entertainment

Ya, kind of regretting not buying a wiiU bundle with camecube controller adapter. No idea why Nintendo doesn't just make more.

As for Amiibo's... good old scalping. Knew I should have just bought Fox. All I ever wanted was some SF merch... oh well.

In any case... Melee has the exact same set up at EVO as last year so get ready for more hour long sets.

>>193071
Between two Smash Bros (fun to play, not really to watch especially with how long sets go), Killer Instinct (tryhard inbuilt hype and general awkwardness), and Tekken 7 and MKX being way too new for mainstage (clunky unfamiliarity) means this is going to be a very sleepy EVO.

>>193074
Scalping in the US is pretty bad. Little Mac for instance goes for around $50 now. When Nintendo says "limited edition" they REALLY mean it. Unless it's Pikachu and Pario, almost all of the figures are being sold for far more than their MSRP.

Needs more music

Also Lucas was apparently shown to be the next DLC character and there is a write in vote going on as well that will probably be ignored.

Hearing about the ten year deal for the game makes me feel something similar happened with StarCraft 2, so when is part 3 due out for that anyway? or does anyone still care or remember it's in three parts to get the whole story equal time.

>>191962
Leliana always starts hardened in Inquisition, but you can unharden her through two plot events as long as you didn't do that spoiler.

>>191996
Wait, shit, by spoiler I meant killing Marjolaine.

>>191997
So killing Marjolaine makes it impossible not to make her unhardened in Inquisition? That sucks, you could kill her in Origins and still leave Leliana unhardened

http://www.nintendo.com/eshop/offers
There are some pretty cool offers right now.
Grabbed Liberation Maiden and it's pretty funny. Maybe I'll get Attack of the Friday Monster as well.

I didn't know Medievil was a collectathon platformer. I always assumed it was a typical action/beat em up. Games "aging" means practically nothing to me, so I might try it out anyway.

>>191461
Please, that kind of political gaming is so weak, there's no need to say "You're loyal to us but don't even know it!". That kind of lame reasoning only leads to corrupt practice like what GamerGate supposedly organized to prevent. Just let the handful of people who care support to the degree they want to. Gamergate is an arbitrary affiliation and can easily get replaced if something filling its purpose is needed again.
