There is a man who is now in jail for going around local Gamestops and defacing Sonic Boom games and standees in protest of the fact that Sonic's Arms Are Not Blue, so is it safe to assume Sonic Boom will be your 2014 Game of the Year?
Strap that motherfucker in the electric chair and fry his ass before he can breed. No appeals!
it’s a toss up between “tiny fishing pole with a stuffed mouse on the end” and “tiny cloth thing shaped like a piece of toast with a jangly bell thing inside.”
The GOTY video stuff this year is freaking amazing. You guys should do videos about games for a living. Do you have a main writer for that, do it by committee or do you divide it up?
We jammed out some basic ideas up front, but everyone was more or less responsible for their own bits.
I’ve been able to get on in fits and starts for most of the past couple of days, but yeah. Considering the attack supposedly stopped awhile ago, it’s pretty wild that things are still jacked for some people.
I am moving to the U.S. next year and have begun to look into what I should do with my games; Nintendo are surprisingly lax and are happy to refund digital purchases so I can sell the hardware and disks and rebuy what I need over there. Microsoft haven't returned my calls. Sony won't do anything meaning I will either need to lose my digital vita games or continue to buy UK ps plus. I also have modded genisis and around 200 carts (plus others). Is it worth the cost of moving or should I sell up?
In theory you could put your European Xbox Live account on your US hardware, set that box as your primary machine, and play those games on your shiny new US account. I created a Japanese Live account on my 360 to buy a few things awhile back. I don’t think they’ll let you switch regions. Sony’s in the same sitch, the only catch is that, yeah, you can only have one account on a Vita. Also, as you’ve figured, PS Plus stuff would go away as soon as your Euro account lapsed. Kind of a hassle. You could always just keep the European PSN account and use it on your existing hardware. It’s region-free, after-all. You’d just have to deal with Euro pricing and whatever delayed release dates that region still has the contend with.
My understanding is that most PAL Mega Drive carts will work on US hardware once you’ve gotten around the different cartridge port sizes, so you’ll probably be fine on that with or without your modded hardware. Keep that thing.
I’m surprised Nintendo even has a solution for this. Not bad.
Destiny's bed-shitting: The product of hype and a little incompetence (a la Watch_Dogs) or the product of Bungie wasting a glorious alignment of the heavens to squeeze out a generic, moderately firm turd anyone with enough money and Marty O'Donnell's phone number could have made?
They probably planned for a much bigger game, fought about what kind of game they were making internally, struggled to rebuild vast parts of it as they slipped further and further beyond their initial milestone dates, and cut out significant parts of it to make a 2014 ship date.
I don’t know. I’d be surprised if the studio leadership truly felt like the shipping product met their initial goals and desires for the project.
Considering the resources that were probably at their disposal and the talent on-hand, it’s a real shame that Destiny isn’t more than it is.
At this point, they should probably find the people responsible for putting in multiple reputation meters and currency and get them out of that studio. It feels like some people on that team think they’re making a MMO circa 2004 or something.
