Oh God, No Deal Brexit happened in that universe?

As I write this, I've just received my new copy of Aladdin for the Super Famicom in the mail, and I've just been hit with this intense wave of nostalgia. Of course, I played the SNES version as a kid, but the Japanese import was like $30 cheaper on eBay, so... Perhaps label me a miser. Anyway. This ...

Hi both! Thank you so much for your comments. You've both encouraged me to think long and hard about my thoughts on SFIV's complexity, approachability, and impact on the fighting game genre. I think there's a middle ground to be found between your respective perspectives. With your agreement, I'd l...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I TOTALLY WASN'T EXPECTING

Spoiler: show

MR. X TO SHOW UP DURING AN A ROUTE

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK THIS GAME IS ACTUALLY SCARING ME.

I honestly want to buy both the X and the Switch, but both of them just continue to make me shrug in utter disinterest. Anything I could get on XBone, I'd rather have on PC or PS4. The Switch still doesn't have a single exclusive I care about, outside Xenoblade 2. Sony could headline 2019 with an HD...

I deleted the Anthem demo after trying unsuccessfully to load a mission after half an hour or so, after they'd said the PS4 issues were fixed. Really poor showing from EA and paints the game in a bad light before it even comes out. Whether it's dev issues, network infrastructure or otherwise, when ...

And Bioware/EA also keep using old builds for the beta's/demo's so whatever we are playing, and indeed what they had on the dev streams was never the most up to date build. So we aren't even certain if any issues we note have already been fixed, or something that is being glossed over in the hope t...

Honestly, with all due respect, I asked you to give examples so I could understand your perspective, out of genuine interest. As it is, I now understand that you may have simply meant something different by the words you used. There's a lot of talk about 'mechanics' these days and it happens to be ...

Spoilered to not clog up the issue thread. Apologies if I was a little abrupt, middle of the night post, been up with a stomach bug. I'm genuinely interested in what you found convoluted or obtuse, though. It's probably seen as the poster child for both an extremely accessible and extremely deep fi...

It's mechanically one of the deepest and most complex fighting games ever made, far moreso than 3S or Alpha 3, and its success dwarfed every other fighting game of its era. It's far from an also-ran. Complexity to one is obtuseness to another. SF4 felt overly convoluted which, when considering the ...

In original RE2, the two campaigns were *similar*, but had some differences. Chiefly, Claire's campaign dealt far more with Birkin, Sheri and Irons, where Leon's focused more on Ada and Mr. X, with Birkin showing up when he felt so inclined... But they both treaded mostly the same maps in roughly th...

TWR: TOO MANY RELEASES I have only very brief experience with Street Fighter IV. At the time I picked it up, the Super version had already been out for a while, so I picked it up thinking it was the "complete edition". Silly me. I was a little miffed to find out there were at least two oth...

Also, Tangledeep sounds like a euphemism for a vasectomy.

I have no idea what Wargroove is, but 2 or 3 of the streamers I watch are super hyped for it.

That would absolutely tickle my bacon. I (foolishly it appears) assumed you were male. On the speaker side of things, I have some Bose Componant 2.0 speakers either side of my PVM - which have severed me well for many years now. They are extremely punchy and have a deep bass with rich mid. This is ...

I loves me some GBA games, but it wasn't until I played them on the Retron 5 that I really appreciated some of them. Like. Mega Man Zero is a great example of a game with a super, super rich OST that you'd never hear out of standard GBA speakers. That game has some CHONKY fuckin' bass that you can o...

Actually I’m not the big physical collector. Chris and Michiel are the real hardware purists aming the team. This man is not lying. I'm not a fundamentalist, however. I've got more than a few vintage games in downloaded format, especially ones that I would like to play, but am not willing to pay st...

Worth the wait and the game has more to play!

Lucky duck - I've had a grand total of maybe 3 or 4 hours between work shifts to dedicate to RE2. Won't be able to do anymore than 2 hours per day til Monday morning.

So...this isn't the same story at the original, then? It seems like more of a 'new' game than I thought it was going to be. I thought it was literally going to be Resident Evil 2 in third person with shiny graphics. Even just the demo seemed like a totally different experience. I didn't like how th...

Thanks both, I actually had a fiddle with the settings on my TV, and it seems to be working now (Spiderman looks awesome!) It had all kinds of crap turned on like motion smoothing, adaptive contrast, dynamic blacklight etc. Turned everything off, the sharpness up a little and we're all good! Even R...
