I can understand buying a system to play a particular game or two, but what baffles me is doing this pre-emptively. There were a number of PS3 owners who suddenly felt swindled when FFXIII was announced for the X360, for instance, and I just laughed to myself. Here's a novel idea: wait until the system you want actually has the games you want.
Even on GAF, logic can go flying out the window when it comes to nostalgia and console tribalism.

Wow, Nuclear Throne just released. After LUFTRAUSERS, they have my undivided attention.
I heard there's a lot of salty ass motherfuckers in the NT discussion boards for coming out of EA because apparently NT is coming to PS4/Vita or something?

I was actually going to casually mention how Nuclear Throne was coming to consoles as an EA game and how silly that was, until I actually checked Steam to see it in full release.

And yeah, it's out on PSN right now. Upset customers wouldn't surprise me; don't think there was any warning at all.

What the great thing about PS is you can play any game you want regionally wise. A bundle PS4 can be foudn for 300.


But if I want a NA region 3DS, I have to pay over 400. Yeah screw that!
 
Latest client bug is really starting to annoy me

What even is this? total blank page with glitched menus
 
Look, I liked 2, mostly, at the time... and I was okay with black flag.
(I have not played Unity)
This is not the first time =p
Unity is pretty, you should try it out sometimes.

I did that with MGS4, but yeah the idea of 'game series X' or 'develop X' belonging exclusively to a console is a bit ridic.
You must understand it means they are losing their edge in List Wars, they feel "betrayed".

Last level of Shantae and the Pirates Curse made me want to punch a wall. I got to the save point before the final boss, but yuck.

I'm confused. If memory serves, Devolver went after the Blood IP following the release of Shadow Warrior (or was it Rise of the Triad? I was confusing Devolver with Apogee) but found Atari's asking price too unreasonable.

I figured I'd try to flog off one of my Estetiikka spares on G2A, but my listing was suspended pending "proof of validity". I jumped through the hoops but the request to have the suspension lifted was denied: apparently, inventory and purchase history screenshots, as well as confirming the e-mail address tied to my G2A account, was insufficient.

so does darksiders 2 get shit later on or something? I was under the impression a lot of people hate it on gaf

so far it's enjoyable, it's not without its flaws and they took the game towards a weird direction with some strange design choices, but it did quite a few things better than the first game

also pretty sure alien isolation is another game with broken achievements on my end, steam's achievement system is pretty fucking shit for quite a few games for me, off the top of my head DmC, Darksiders 1, TR and now Alien Isolation, maybe there's more!

The portion of the campaign that sees you return to Earth is utterly awful, but that's about it. If you've enjoyed the game thus far, then you'll enjoy (most of) the rest.

If you can make it past the second world which is literally the rule of three to the power of three, then you're probably gonna finish the game, let's be honest.

The PS4 is pretty cheap over here, but still way too much for me to buy it for one or two games. At that point it's basically a peripheral for the game you want.

Couldn't you paypal someone the money, then have them buy it for you and post it to you Zkylon?
well argieland doesn't like that stuff

say i paypal someone 300 usd for a ps4, i have to pay an extra 100~ in 35% internet buying tax, then say shipping costs 30 bucks and 35% tax on that too

then when i pick it up here i have to pay 40% for import tax which is around 200 usd more for a total of 650~

and i have to wait like 3-4 hours in customs and do some paperwork to get it

argieland is in "srsly don't buy a console" mode

even if it's shipped as a gift i have to pay imports tax for it, i met people last time at customs that were like "i randomly got notice of a package someone sent me without telling me so how am i gonna pay tax of something i don't even know what it is"

it's fucked up lol

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Sounds terrible. I'd probably move.

But I like your Biggest Loser show though.

it really isn't, at least not compared to real problems

having to pay a premium to import shit is like such a minor and self-centered problem to have in life that i can't seriously complain about it

it sucks and it's a shitty way this country has chosen to solve some of its problems but what can you do

i know you're joking but yeah, i wouldn't move anywhere else for something as small as this, i love living here and wouldn't give up my friends or family for pretty much anything

as in only if i'm invited to work on league or obsidian lol

if that happens then screw my loved ones

But I like your Biggest Loser show though.

lol wtf is that

Yeah I was just messing around. About 6 years ago now I sold almost everything I owned and packed up the rest and drove across the country - literally as far away as I could from where I grew up because that place was absolutely terrible. I don't regret it one bit. I kinda like it here, but this country has some serious problems. I've actually been giving some thought to moving to yours once both my kids are out of college (about 4 years from now). Seems nice there.

I can't explain why I like this show so much. But I do. People there seem nice.

So I just finished Shadow Complex Remastered - the game is legit guys. Honestly, probably my third favorite Metroid-vania game of all time, behind only Super Metroid and Symphony of the Night. There is so much stuff to do and collect, tons of secrets and things, and even whole sections of the story you can miss/skip. There are even (technically) multiple endings.

I'm really glad this game has come to PC. And it's free so you should all be playing it.

really? buenos aires or somewhere else?

there's places in buenos aires to live a quiet life and just hang out and then be like a an hour away from downtown for like a more city-like life

it's a cool city imo

Oh lol I guess all this time I thought you and JaseC were both in Australia. I guess there are common complaints about console importing, online taxes and the like.

Damn, got to the

Importing is fine here... for now, at least. I was toying with the idea of buying a 980 Ti from Amazon and selling my current 980 to make back most of the cost, but ultimately decided against it as the performance difference between the two cards is generally a mere 10-15% or so at 1080p.

Oooh Chicago.

I could go for a deep dish right now.

also fun fact about me: I hate tomatoes. I love pizza, I like ketchup, etc. I just hate the texture of tomatoes. Therefore, deep dish isn't my thing :<

I had homemade pizza with ghost chili pepper pizza sauce last week before I went back to college, that was amazing :3

how can you hate tomatoes

what kind of sick monster are you

that texture makes me want to throw up

I'll eat any eel or whatever sushi or odd food you want me to eat. I will eat anything spicy. Anything. I use 1,000,000 scoville sauce often for a little extra flavor.

Tomatoes have a texture that makes me want to gag though :x
