  1. Comics Extravaganza - Pow Bang Smash!

    So help me out guys. It's my friend's birthday next week, and I'd like to get him some cool comic book he hasn't heard of, but is totally amazing. Any recommendations? He likes Saga, Niel Gaiman and Batman, but really he likes any comic book. any suggestions guys?
  2. Honestly Bloodborne was the soul reason I got a PS4. PS+ games every month makes the purchase totally worth it, as I'm now getting free games that I'm actually interested in. OlliOlli2 is a particular highlight. Also the PS4 is a pretty decent console now, I think. It's certainly more worth while now there's games out on it. Yeah, the ink kit is neat, but I don't think I'll ever use it. As a CE, it feels rather random, unlike others which have game-specific memorabilia, like the New Vegas poker chip and cards. But then again I've purposefully kept myself as blind as I can be for this game, so it could be totally thematically awesome. who knows. (well I guess I'll know come friday)
  3. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    Are there loads of adapters in the US then? Because they're rarer than a snake's fart over here. :/
  4. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

  5. So did I. I went one step worse though, I ordered the GAME exclusive special edition. I hate myself so much right now. It'll be worth it. right?
  6. Bloodborne is coming in a week guys. It's looking like it's going to be a completely different beast from the Souls series, and it looks like it'll be amazing. To be honest, my main worry is that it's going to feel a bit more hack 'n' slash-y than the Souls series, due to the whole blood system, but I hope that Miyazaki knows better than to let that happen. This is a nice preview that Keza MacDonald wrote for it: http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2015/03/16/dark-souls-death-bloodborne-killing
  7. Jeff Minter has been bullied by Atari's lawyers so that he can't release TxK on any other platform (it's currently only on the Vita), as it's too close to Tempest 2000, a game he made for Atari. Fucking nuts. His full explanation can be found here: http://yakyak.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=85897 I would quote particular parts, but it's all worth quoting.
  8. Movie/TV recommendations

    Yep, thanks JKO for making me aware of it I know it's subliminal messaging, but I don't even understand the message. Subliminal or not it kinda fails then. I felt really sorry for Iwatani. It was awkward and forced.
  9. Movie/TV recommendations

    I don't know if this has been disussed earlier, but Pixels looks like a huge pile of shit: I haven't even heard of it before today. Now I wish I never knew about it at all.
  10. Jeff LEGOldblum a.k.a. LEGO Jurassic World

    I really hope there's a lego version of this at the end of the game: On a side note, I never got into the lego games, but I've never really tried that hard to either. Which one is the best?
  11. Nintendo announces mobile deal with DeNA

    Yoshi Touch and go was great, but I felt Canvas Curse did it better. Actually, all the minigames on Mario 64 DS would be brilliant. Especially that bomb-omb game. I reckon that's why a tactical game like AW or FE would work so well, because it's turn based and tactical. My fat thumbs could easily select a square on awakening on the 3DS. Animal Crossing on the phone is a worryingly great idea that would suck more of my life and money away. A variant of TomoLife would be insane too. You could probably then link it up to Facebook or something to have a Farmville-esq tower. Damn right, it's all about pokemon typing these days:
  12. that would be cool, and possible too, given that Nintendo started off making Hanafuda cards. Plus they could just use the SSB theme to go with it! Although Pokemon cards are still a thing, which is Nintendo owned, right?
  13. Nintendo announces mobile deal with DeNA

    Sorry to go off on a tangent, but I'm guessing these are official slides that they used at the presentation? If so this one is baffling: A.... Virtual Boy? whu? why? why that instead of the Gameboy?
  14. Nintendo announces mobile deal with DeNA

    Sorry for paraphrasing to such drastic measures! I hope that they don't abandon their own platforms too, because it's what makes Nintendo so great. Also, the NX project has been leaked:
  15. Nintendo announces mobile deal with DeNA

    From reading their Wikipedia article, I actually have some faith that they know what they're doing: So whilst it may be a weird choice to hear about, maybe in Japan it isn't? From the looks of things, they also made the 'Rage of Bahmut' game, which is pretty popular over in Japan (Although I doubt it's as popular as Kancolle or Puzzle & Dragon) I also agree with Roderick, I'm stupidly disappointed Nintendo have abandoned their own platforms. Although saying all of this, Advance Wars would be perfect for smart phones. Ideally I'd like just a lump sum up-front, and no in-app bull, but I doubt it'll be that way. Who knows! edit: huh, i didn't know this forum autocorrected M-o-b-a to Lords management! what a bunch of *********s.
  16. The Ultimate Playthrough, Metal Gears!?

    Oh right... But I thought the patriots are bad? Because Raiden never says "yeah I'm part of the La Li Lu Le Lo", when Aimes asks, he says 'who are they?' to which he's more than happy to give away the president's location. But Aimes is working for the Patriots? Why would he give away important details if he's not working for the patriots? For such a supposedly hidden group, fucking everyone is working for them, with them, or because of them. For what it's worth, my MGS2 playthrough took 18 hours, and 1 took around the same time, so potentially not. I'll keep the tally going with 3, who knows how long that'll take me! Loaded up MGS3 last night. wow. the jump from buildings to a fucking jungle is really harrowing. And yet again everything's changed. I didn't get far at all (I just got the backpack and saved), but the graphical jump between 2 and 3 is staggering too. The game looks amazing. And they've nailed the eyes too, which were really fucking weird in 2.
  17. anime

    HA! That's genius! Honestly, I didn't think Perfect Blue was all that either. It's great, but it's not as good as other Kon movies.
  18. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

    If you haven't yet, I'd strongly recommend updating your MonHun, then talking to your palico in your tent, going to DLC > gifts and downloading the starter pack. It has stuff like Rare steaks, Traps, and some special mushrooms which you can forge to make Luigi/Mario costume for your Palico. (and it's super good armour) It's also a timed exclusive thing, so get on it! As for traps, there are 2: Pit Traps and Shock Traps. You create pit traps by combining nets (Which I believe you get by combining ivy + spider webbing) with the trap kit, and shock traps by combining thunder bugs with trap kit. Traps are ace because you can capture a monster instead of killing it, which usually gives you better drops. You can't carve it after the fight, but I don't mind. Basically, when the monster starts limping, that means he's on his last legs, which is when you can trap it. Make him run into the trap, and when caught in it, use 2 tranq bombs to set it to sleep, and you've won! Another good tell is when he's asleep. then just run right into him, lay the trap and tranq! Honestly, the 3DS is fine, just gratuitously use the lock-on feature. That's how I did it through 3. If it's really bothering you, get a CPP before splashing out on a New3DS (unless you just really want that console, which is understandable, to be fair.) I used the switch axe as my main in 3! The best advice I can give you is to nail the mid-combo switch between axe and sword. It's something like after the third A in the combo, press R+A, and it flicks mid combo to sword. Super useful, and it looks cool. Huh, merus sno (sorry about that!) seems to have written most of what I've just said! Regarding Body damage, I was under the impression that if your weapon bounces off a body part, it still inflicts damage onto that part. Is that true?
  19. Other podcasts

    I started listening to Bit Socket too! I heard about them from Regular Features. The 'is it cannon' section is hilarious.
  20. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

    Not really, you just have to be accurate. Jaggi's heads are difficult targets, but you could always use shock traps to stun them into position. Another option is to mount the Jaggi to floor him, or eat Feyline slugger, which increases chances to make them flinch. I assume you're after the King's Frill btw? I spent a long time hunting Zamitros, only to find I was hunting the wrong enemy, and should have focused my efforts on the smaller fish things.
  21. The Ultimate Playthrough, Metal Gears!?

    I just finished MGS2. I was understanding all of it until the last fight. Then it all went weird and not in a good way. I don't even know if it's all real. What is Metal Gear? What is game? I also find it very weird how Kojima reportedly intended for it to be a standalone, and how he didn't want to make a 3rd at the time, in spite of so many things being left open at the end of the second game. The La Li Lu Le Lo, for example, are mentioned with some sort of shocking revelation, but to no reason or explanation. Likewise it's thrown aside and not brought up again, not even at the very end. I also feel that kojima had something to say about sequels, given the purposeful plot point similarities with the first. (I don't want to give away too much) Finally, I found the bosses to be kinda lacking compared to the first one. My overall impression of the 2nd game is that it's good, but it doesn't reach the heights of the first game. The story at the end is also confusing and long, with a lot of dialouge and cutscenes that seems to go no-where, or to re-iterate a point that's been driven into the ground. Now onto MGS3! I'm expecting great things!

    I would love this to be a thing.

    3 hours is enough right?

    I'd happily take it off your hands, eRonin.
