GTA IV: friends. Stop calling me. Though I did find out recently that if you accept an invite and then call back to cancel, it doesn’t affect your relationship. Still didn’t like them though.

@dipset Final showdown of every movie is 25 minutes of him ground and pounding the baddie and letting it go to the cards.

Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne remaster. Finally gonna get to play it with Raidou instead of Dante. May actually finish it now.

@yoshi congrats! Just sold ours. What’d you buy?

I don’t recall being more excited for a game as a kid. I got it for my eighth birthday and hated how hard it was and restricting powers to a meter was such a dumb choice. Then years later I found the debug cheats and it was much more fun. Plus the Magneto theme is SO sick.

@bam541 I ended up ordering a physical copy for Switch but it’s pretty far back in the shrink wrap back log. Will post thoughts here around spring 2023.

100% yes. I first thought about how good Link’s Awakening and Final Fantasy 7 remakes look (haven’t played either) but realized those could have been just as good if they were sequels.

Remasters can disappear. I know people sometimes say the remaster makes the older version of whatever amazing game it is unplayable but that’s just because a slightly improved version has been provided. Without that version, we would still play the original if it’s a game we love.

Twilight Princess, for example, the no-pause transform makes rhe GC version unplayable which may be fair but the pause transform doesn’t make the GC version unplayable on its own.

Also, as time goes on, we will get more and more remasters of the online-enabled generations where QoL changes could just be patched into the original so I feel like my opinion here will only become stronger.

@dmcmaster kinda got that far on my own. Not a huge musou fan but wondering if it has enough substance and gameplay variety to separate itself.

Anybody get it yet? It’s on sale for $55 Canadian and wondering if it’s worth it.

@oscillator yeah that’s a thing I don’t get. How are the cars different from one another in F1? I remember somebody saying Hamilton catching Schumacher was nothing since his car was so good. Wouldn’t Schumacher’s have been as well? I remember there being some tire thing with him. Or are things just worse now?

@axel minor correction: 15 fixed teams, 5 others qualify annually.

But yeah it seems to be a battle by the old guard to stamp out the parity that has come along and challenged the ‘Big 4/2/1’ clubs who have traditionally run their leagues and had a walk into the Champions League. Now they will guarantee their spot and annual revenue rather than need to qualify for it. But it’s just a buy-in thing. Fucking Spurs are part of the founders group. The San Jose Sharks/(sigh)Vancouver Canucks of EPL. You’ve done a hell of a job when people are accusing you of shady shit when FIFA/UEFA is the alternative.

Lot of beauties so far. 1 more

WCW vs NWO World Tour

@dipset said in That's News!:
Black Ops 1 was a pretty bad follow up to MW2

100%. Played MW2 a lot at friends' houses so was stoked to get my own copy when Black Ops came out. Was majorly disappointed.

@DIPSET Dom (can I call you Dom?), the judgement of your taste in metroidvanias starts...right now! Ori 1 and 2

@mbun I think the 3G model and proprietary memory cards didn’t help either. Both were just unnecessary risks that confused and angered people/me.

@e_zed_eh_intern ordered

@bam541 Getting this ASAP

I have started so many of these games and finished so few. I'm not sure why I always stop because I always enjoy them. Of those I have finished

1. SMT IV
2. Persona 2 IS/EP
3. Persona 4
4. Persona 5
5. Persona 3
6. Revelations: Persona

Ranking what I have started but not finished

2. Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers
3. SMT 3 Nocturne
4. Devil Survivor Overclocked
5. Devil Summoner Raidou
6. Strange Journey Redux

The Persona 4 Arena fighting games are awesome; Persona 4 Dancing All Night is not.

Pineapple
Cantaloupe
Mango
Raspberries

Grapes MUST be crunchy and red>green all day

Strawberries are great until you start putting them in anything besides a smoothie. Tomatoes are basically the opposite. I don't like when a take-out place puts big slices of tomato in my salad but in burgers, on sandwiches, in sauces, sundried or in caesars, I will happily consume more than a reasonable amount.

Granny smith and fuji apples

Like most here, I will eat just about any fruit.

Street Fighter V news:

1. Rose releases April 19
2. Oro gameplay shown including V-Triggers and V-Skills
3. Akira gameplay teaser shown followed by VT2 shown at very end of stream - Rival Schools fans will be pleased... I think?
   

Good stream. Rose looks super scary and I like that Oro has his orb and Tengu Stones in V-Skill / V-Trigger, making them more about utility than if they were a CA.
