Rival Schools 2 was amazing. I'd be down for a new one.


Funny - remember when the "traditional 2D" took a momentary back seat to "3D" fighters like Virtua Fighter, DoA, etc. and now most games are taking it back to traditional 2D.

Kalyx triaD 08-04-2016 08:33 PM

Rival Schools was mostly 2D in function. Fun game.

#BROKEN Hasney 08-05-2016 02:55 AM

I imported Rival Schools 2 so I could get the create a fighter board game. Just had a 20 page guide printed off, such a fun game.

#BROKEN Hasney 08-05-2016 03:03 AM

Rockstar are announcing their fuftire projects "soon". Red Dead 3 is still where my money is at.

GTA Online also continues to print money.

Official reason is due to Sony wanting the Day 1 patch to be released first while unofficial reason is due to leaked copies revealing several bugs and issues with the game.

Not sure how I feel about Starcraft Remake.... feel like it was good as it was.

ClockShot 08-05-2016 08:04 PM

Welp, the kid who bought the leaked copy of No Man's Sky and posted vids and his journey through the game might have scared away some players.

SPOILER: show
Took him 30 hours to get to the center of the universe and all he did was mine a certain element and sold it for at a high profit. Upgraded is ship fast. He supposedly did minor exploring. Take it for what its worth.

#BROKEN Hasney 08-05-2016 08:32 PM

I mean, if you burn it straight to the centre of the universe, you're doing it wrong. My ballsack is going to touch as many planets as possible.

They're patching in the DLC but it's still expensive.

Why do I keep hearing Pokemon GO is worthless in articles if it made so much money already? I am sure, there will be a drop at some point but kids will love this game forever and a day when they keep adding in the other generation of Pokemon.

Game snobs.

Fignuts 08-10-2016 06:25 AM

Actually starting to get really hyped for Final Fantasy XV. Read an interview a while back, where instead of the usual big corpporation non-answers, dude pretty much said "yeah final fantasy has been shit for a while".

I'm paraphrasing, but point is, what I've gotten from everything I've been reading and watching, is that they genuinely want to make a good ff and bring prestige back to the franchise.

On a somewhat unrelated note, I really want a console Dissidia. Vita is dead in the water, and ff isn't going to save it. Bring that shit to ps4 sony!

drave 08-10-2016 11:19 AM

MMhmm - XV is shaping up to be quite nice indeed.

The demo was entertaining enough to keep me coming back to it. I would also like an Ehrgiez, the Smash before Smash with better characters :D

God Bless The Ring.

The Elder Scolls movie can be really great. The world is rich in lore to make it have a solid foundation to build on. Soooooooooooooo many great stories they can go with at that.

Cast Patrick Stewart as the Emperor from Oblivion and I'll throw my money at it :D

ClockShot 08-10-2016 09:58 PM

Bethesda might wanna sit back and see how Assassins' Creed does at the box office before making a video game movie of their own.

SlickyTrickyDamon 08-10-2016 11:15 PM

STD went to 3 different stores trying to procure No Man's Sky today. Everybody is sold out. Going to get it on PSN but its my brother's account and didn't really want to do that.

OK, Nordic Games just rebranded itself after buying the trademark, but they did buy a lot of old THQ franchises as well as the name and they claim to have 23 products in development. The IPs they have:

Darksiders
De Blob
Deadly Creatures
Destroy All Humans!
Frontlines: Fuel of War
Full Spectrum Warrior
Juiced
MX vs ATV
Red Faction
Stuntman
Summoner
The Outfit
Titan Quest

Cool King 08-12-2016 05:30 PM

Why would you rename your company to a name that sounds like you're the subsidiary of a dead company?

Especially one that died due to bankruptcy caused by an insane amount of debt and years of financial struggles.

Cool King 08-12-2016 05:30 PM

If they just renamed themselves as "THQ", it wouldn't be so bad.

Or even as "Nordic THQ".

But "THQ Nordic" is a strange one to me. :-\

Cool King 08-12-2016 05:31 PM

I'll look forward to some of those games though.

That's not a parody trailer. They have actually made it. First demo at Gamescom is actually happening. The device is just hooked up to gas cylinders with manual control from booth managers though. I imagine a mixture of hydrogen sulfide and mercaptanes maybe.

There's a rumor that you may have to keep that hype going until November 29th now... Fuck. If true, will be announced at Gamescom next week.

They made good games but invested in bad tech/peripherals that didn't pan out. If they stuck with good games they would be in business today. So, good games will help this brand succeed and make people forget about Pictionary/UDraw.

#BROKEN Hasney 08-13-2016 02:45 PM

These just arrived into Gamestop stores, so hopefully the rumor was wrong.

I'm hugely bummed since I may have to delay getting it. Gravity Rush 2 is out the day after and playing remastered compared to the XV demos means I'm really going to have to make a tough decision.

Actually might depend on the price as I pre ordered FF before our currency shit the bed.
