Looks Dragon Age-y.

I'll log into my account and see if it has a description, you have me curious, hehe.

If I remember, there was just a random avatar armor pack, kinda like the ninja pack they have. I have a couple different setups. I let XBL test my avatar for 28+ hours or something and received a lab coat, crazy hair and helmet or something like that. I'll gather them in a bit.

Drakul 07-18-2014 09:38 AM

I have Ada Wongs outfit and a whip. No one ever actually sees your props.

VSG 07-18-2014 12:09 PM

Is that supposed to be Sauron?

drave 07-18-2014 12:32 PM

Don't think so. It comes from a brand called "Legendary Champions".

Today's News:
1) Some QuakeCon news:
2) Google announces a big change for their app store with developers who offer free-to-play games can no longer label their games as "free" in the store if they contain a micro-transaction system. The new change will only cover Europe for now and was done as a result of a recent ruling from the European Commission.

Weekend News Edition
 
Harmonix is considering the idea of reviving the Rock Band series in the near future according to a recent survey sent.

Quote:

At the top of the questionnaire, the Massachusetts-based studio, says, the feedback will be “hugely helpful for us at Harmonix as we plan for the future.” Such feedback would be in regard to how frequent gamers play Rock Band and its DLC offerings in addition to the number of instruments owned and which last-gen platforms they were played on.
Quote:

The survey’s final question asked fans to rank their excitement for 5 possible options Harmonix could take the franchise next. In no particular order, the developer polled fans on a new Rock Band game for Xbox One, PS4 and Wii U or if they would want upgraded versions of existing instruments for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii. A return to DLC is also an option, gaging interest in a sale of the existing songs or brand new tracks to jam out to.

If the DLC I already have doesn't transfer over, it would suck pretty hard.

Disturbed316 07-20-2014 02:25 AM

I wonder how they will work out the cross gen transfer of dlc, if any. I would be more interested in a new one if I could do that.

Happy Birthday, Ryu. Now, please retire. Immediately.

Kalyx triaD 07-21-2014 02:36 PM

This is why you never make a birth year for game characters. Just month and date. Team Ninja learned this the hard way.

Drakul 07-21-2014 02:59 PM

I've always looked at birth years for characters that live in a time bubble like Ryu as changing each year. So, he was 27 in SFII and he still is. It's just rather than 1964, he was born in 1987. Next year, he'll still be 27 but his birth year will be 1988 and so on.

Kalyx triaD 07-21-2014 03:14 PM

Seems tedious, just avoid years altogether.

WHy is the new Doom a reboot again?

Doom 3 was great. Fantastic even.

Doom 3 is a reboot.

Not much, but you don't hear the average joe winning against a big business these days.

Kalyx triaD 07-22-2014 01:59 PM

I wouldn't call him average but he deserved that win.

Drakul 07-22-2014 05:19 PM

Bought MvC Origins as it was 50% off. Controls don't seem to respond to move inputs all the time and Onslaught is utter garbage. I'm not even angry about it. It's just...urgh:nono:. He's like the kid that always had to have a magic way out of any situation he didn't like when you roleplayed a fight as a child.
Got to a point where I just did not care if I won or lost. Kinda wish I could get a refund. I was wondering why it's XBLA rating was so low. It's like ★★★ at most, I think.

Emperor Smeat 07-22-2014 06:00 PM

Today's News:

Megaman and Ryu, and just spam projectiles. That's how I beat him in the arcade back in the day.

Kalyx triaD 07-23-2014 01:53 AM

What if you already seen their ending?

Drakul 07-23-2014 04:24 AM

I was thinking a projectile heavy character would be easier but any character combination should be usable. I know the old cheat game devs did with arcade games, making the boss unfairly hard so you'd pay up to keep trying because you're so close to beating the game.
I might have done a little better if the inputs worked. Down to forward and punch should do move X so I do it but my guy decides he'd rather just ignore the down to forward bit and do the standard punch instead.

Why did they never put the SFA games on the 360?

Kalyx triaD 07-23-2014 04:37 AM

Capcom appears to not give a shit about the Alpha series since the last update was on PSP (lol) and it was only ported to PSN without any bells and whistles.

Drakul 07-23-2014 04:46 AM

I had heard it was on PSN. They probably should have put them on XBLA when SF was really surging in popularity again. It's since died down, I feel. The opportunity has passed.

Kalyx triaD 07-23-2014 05:30 AM

Well then it would have been "over saturation" and "milking". Besides, if it wasn't gonna get the Online Edition treatment there's not much loss anyway.

Drakul 07-23-2014 05:46 AM

I'd rather have had SFA than SF3.

Kalyx triaD 07-23-2014 12:54 PM

SF3 had more 'street cred', I guess.

The hell is this? :wtf:

A bunch of kids, Sailor Moon and Superman ride ice cream to defeat Nazi Broccoli Hitler. Saw it on the Wii U eShop.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/QxwHifHAc64" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Seems pretty suspicious that two of the characters use real ice cream products, both by Walls.

One rides a Twister.

Another rides a Funny Feet.

If it's product placement, I wonder why they haven't straight out said the product or company names.
