Support NeoGAF

so, what's the deal with windows 10? I'm not a PC gamer but steam is pretty popular, I never hear bad things about it. so is this windows 10 stuff fragmenting the PC community?

Windows 10 in itself is great. What PC gamers are reacting to is MS releasing their games exclusively through the Windows Store, meaning there are limitations to support for CrossFIre/SLI, mods, tweaking .ini files and such.

I just realized in Metroid 2 that you can only hold one beam type at a time, unlike later entries. Am I going to need to pick these up in a specific, strategic order, or can I just swap them out as I encounter new ones?

You should be able to go back and swap them back, if necessary.

Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward: Without spoiling specific events, could someone explain to me how to obtain the True Ending?

Do every route.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Do every route.

Thanks! Any skip option I can use to make it go faster after the first route?

You can fast forward any text you've read before.

I have a cable box that doesn't have HDMI (instead it has the old RGB component cables for SD). I'd like to somehow connect it to my Xbox One, is there a device that will allow me to do this? Or am I boned?

I have a landlord that is too cheap to get the HD FiOS box.

I want do a back up of my ps3 just in case but i read this :http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/on...-need-to-know-about-backup-and-restore/96334/

Is it true that you have to redownload games ?

Will anyone buy a VR helmet and dismiss it because they don't have headphones?

Can you imagine people who even buy a package ready to go but the audio isn't up to snuff, Do they package headphones? Or do they just hope people get it?

The PSVR packages headphones. But they look like cheap earbuds. Definitely not premium stuff.

Question. how did I leave vanquish on my shelf for months before finally playing it?

Is it worth buying Guilty Gear Xrd on sale on PSN or should I wait for Revelator? Have they said if there'll be a way to upgrade or would I have to re-buy the game when the new version comes out?

No way to upgrade, Arksys is known to understand shit about upgrade and milk their fans out with each new iteration of a game. Wait for revelator, if you can, you should even wait for the finale version since you can't be sure they won't release XRD "whatever" next year.

Question about the Gears of War Ultimate Edition/Rare Replay Bundle seen here:

Is it one disc with both titles on it or two separate discs that are identical to the individual copies of the game(s)? Thanks for any replies.

Two separate discs.

A friend of mine wants to buy a new TV and I was wondering if someone has some recommendations on which models are currently good picks.

Its mainly for gaming(Ps4) but also watching football(soccer) and netflix and occasionally BluRays.
His budget is about 700-1000€

Is it smart to go for 4k even though there is no 4k content? Or is it better to pick a FullHD TV in the same price range, will the image quality be better?

 

[Sjefen]

Heres a stupid question: I have seen the word Vanilla beeing used lately, what does it mean?

 

[Jucksalbe]

Heres a stupid question: I have seen the word Vanilla beeing used lately, what does it mean?

It's either a spice or referring to a game in its original state (without addons, mods, etc.).

To add to this, usually refers to the state of an online game prior to patches/expansions

Is it possible to connect an Original Xbox and Xbox 360 in LAN in order to play games that support it?

Wife bought a new pc here in Taiwan and it came with a bunch of software and games.


Csgo is ww key but I have a question about the f2p codes, are they tired to Taiwan? The site I got them from was in English, also an Intel website. Anyways to tell?

Are there any racing games or any game with driving where you change gears?

 

[Oldest Snake]

What are the odds of us ever seeing a Demon's Souls remaster on the PS4?

Is there anything that completely rules out a remaster (license/developer issues etc.) similar to Red Dead Redemption or is it still a possibility?

 

[Jucksalbe]

You mean a manual transmission? Most racing games have that (optional).

Tiptronic though.

Cool, I didn't know that. Thank you.

There is a bunch on eBay that'll allow you to do this. Not sure if you can link eBay so I pmd it to you

 

[Haganeren]

Are there any good horror games available or upcoming for the PS4 besides the Resi games, Until Dawn, The Evil Within and Layers of Fear (I don't really care much about Resi and already own the latter three)?

Well, we had our devkits quite late on Narcosis but we still theorically want to put the game on the PS4 current 2016 if it interests you.

why the hell do console versions of old games have local multiplayer but the feature is dropped in PC versions of the same games instead substituted for LAN multiplayer. It's not the same thing, what the hell was wrong with those devs? I'm talking about N64 and Gamecube games like Episode 1 Racer and NFSU2. Such great local MP but the PC versions are gimped with broken LAN components.

It's only a guess, but it could be because the N64 had 4 controller ports native in the system hardware, whereas most PCs do not. But then again you could use USB controllers, so I dunno.

This might be the biggest curse of PC ports...

 

[Mattenth]

Is Star Wars Battlefront even worth getting on PC? I don't plan on getting the DLC right away either.

Depends on what you're looking for.

If you're looking for an arcade shooter to kill an hour or so, Battlefront is amazing.

If you're looking for a deep shooter with lots of mechanics and abilities to master, then stick with something like PVZ:GW2, CS:GO, or just TF2.

It's probably cheaper to implement and kinda fits with the stereotypes.

Can I use a Canadian Wii Points card on the Wii Shop of my American Wii? Will the card work? Thanks.

 

[Pimplitosaurio]

Someone gave me a eshop card for my birthday, and I saw that RE has a deep discount. I want to buy it but I have a 2GB SD card on my 3DS. Currently I'm dirty poor, so no, I can't even afford a 4GB SD card before the offer ends. Is there a way to buy it, and then later download it or something?

Yeah, just buy it and don't click "download now". It'll be in your account history when you have the correct SD card.

No, you can't process the buy without enough memory. Perhaps you can get a dl code for the same price? Else at least there's the solace that Capcom sales are a recurring thing.

Wow. Why design it like that?

Better safe than sorry.

I'm pretty sure I've done this with Halo 2, but it was 10 years ago.

I thought there was a download later option. I got that when I bought something on the eshop.

 

[JSoup]

No, you can't process the buy without enough memory.

Is that a recent thing? I was able to buy Omega Red without having enough room for it and had no restrictions pop up.

 

[Professor Beef]

"Download Later" just means you download it while the system is in Sleep Mode instead of waiting right there. You still have to buy it and make sure there's room.

 

[PtM]

Maybe I am mistaken? I remember having to delete demos a year ago or so. It doesn't hurt to try, anyway.

Hmm. Well, give it a shot Pimplitosaurio and I'm sorry in advance if I was wrong.

 

[Pimplitosaurio]

Yeah I will try and will inform if it worked or not. Thanks

How easy is it to make a EU Wii-U account?

How easy is it to make a EU Wii-U account?

You mean an NNID? As easy as it could be, I'd say. Register via the console, and confirm through the link in the email you entered. Log in with your personal data, and voila.

It's the flexibility - or rather the inflexibility - a lot of people are having issues with, but that's a discussion for another day.
