Going to redeem my Mighty No. 9 code now and see for myself just how much of a Mighty No. 2 Inafune has done all over Mega Man's corpse.

Ultra Mantis 06-21-2016 08:56 PM

My code doesn't even work so we're off to a good start.

Mighty No 5040 went in hard to Inafune in the Mighty No. 9 credits.

Happy 25th birthday, Sonic the Hedgehog.

Got to wait till Dec of 2017 to get Dead Rising 4 on PS4...worth it

Sepholio 06-23-2016 12:46 PM

Ah the joys of owning all the consoles.

Kinda wish they would have given an extra year to DR4 though. Not because it isn't ready but because imagine what they could have done with the power of the Scorpio.

DR4 is one of those games that would benefit so much from all that extra power. It would have been an amazing launch title for Scorpio.

It's Capcom, they'll likely just up the resolution and call it a day. It's coming for PC though, so we'll be able to see how Scorpio could have done it.

The Friday the 13th game seems like a great idea and "why haven't they made it a next gen game yet?" but it seems like it's a 1 trick pony. I'm guessing we'll end up getting Halloween and Elm Street games eventually too

I wonder if Destiny will finally incorporate some sort or a RAID MATCHINGMAKING SYSTEM? for Rise of Iron?!

Oh, and ditch the weapon infusion bullshit. Bring back weapon rolling.

Kalyx triaD 06-27-2016 08:29 PM

Re-Rolling kinda killed weapon balance when optimum rolls became prominent. Certain perks were indefinitely nerfed or removed altogether in response to the re-roll days. We can't have that return.

drave 06-28-2016 06:10 AM

Raid matchmaking would be fucking great. It is the one aspect of the game I haven't tackled yet, mainly due to no one else being on when I play(ed).

Same. Really want to try them. Met a friend of alvarado who said I could raid with his crew if I pick it up again. Have to get my light level iup first.

Could suggest you as well if it comes together.

drave 06-29-2016 06:12 AM

Sounds good. My biggest issue is "dad duty". I joined the "Dads of Destiny" group many moons ago but nothing really ever came of it.

I haven't played in a while, but started getting upgrades from completing Prison of Elders. Might start it up again soon.
