So we're clear, I hate lootboxes. People who buy them are baffling. They completely annihilated reward systems in games. But they are barely gambling (I can only go as far as to agree it's gambling-ish), they aren't criminal, and we can't call them predatory without a good hard look at the community of gamers or gamer parents. I rather not validate the old violent games debate by acting like lootboxes are anything more than super annoying rewards systems that threaten gameplay balance. |

I doubt I'm anywhere near finishing the main quest since I keep fucking around with side quests. I said PC because the save system and lockpicking are so shit they need modding. |
Well I doubt my laptop could handle it, so its probably xbox or ps4 for me.

It'll probably still be a fun game, but just know you can only save with a very limited item (with some main quest and sleeping autosaving). It doesn't evens ave on exit.
Lockpicking is the worst lockpicking minigame of all time, but if you're not a criminal, that won't matter. |

1) SALES & FREEBIES:
2) Similar with the classic NES Mega Man Legacy set, Mega Man X Legacy Collection is currently rumored to be broken up into two sets based on a recent Australian ratings board report. https://www.destructoid.com/it-appea...s-487857.phtml |
Give me MMX 1-5 in the first set. I don't need to play the others ever again.
|
Coming to the X series once is was already over, I didn't find X6 as terrible as I expected to. Really liked X8 actually.
X7 though. Oh boy. |
That's not unlike the Mega Man Legacy collection. There were two sets there as well.
|
My mistake and fixed some of the wording.
Was originally trying to compare how the original set was announced and released. It didn't get a sequel until a couple years later to cover the rest of the non-NES games. I also have the bad habit of forgetting the SNES had non-X series Mega Man games. The X collection seems to be Capcom splitting it into 2 from the start and releasing both at the same time. |

Really looking forward to Agony next month. Whether it's games, movies, books, or anything, I love anything to do with Demons and Hell. I'm a fan of all "ancient evil" stories, but Hell is definitely my favorite.

Gamers subsidizing issues they have no relation to.
|
I'd figure Rhode Island would say away from anything video games after the Curt Schilling/38 Studios debacle.
|
Schilling (and a few others) being a dumbass with this debacle ended up killing a really good idea the state had to lure more game developers to the state. They wanted to become a new hub for game developers and tech companies within a few years.
On paper, the idea was to give Schilling whatever he wanted to help make the game become as successful as possible so they can use it as a launching pad to lure more game developers to the state. Think this game alone ate around 60-75% of the state budget for tech projects. Instead Schilling's studio fibbed on how much money was actually needed and everyone else involved had no backup plan in case things didn't go smoothly with the studio itself or game sales. Not only did Schilling screw the state's plans, he also screwed a lot of other companies who couldn't apply for tech grants because of how much his project ate into the budget. Forgot how the settlement went down but think I technically own a share of the game's IP via being a resident of the state and the state owning the IP now. |

Uhg Trumps video game/movie rhetoric is so tiring. Trying to put the blame on entertainment.....when everywhere else in the world has access to this same content and they don't go shooting up schools/malls/clubs/etc. Probably because they don't have guns -_-'

He thinks the game industry is this one big thing.

"This follows a previous announcement by Trump about wanting a ratings system for video games."
....um |
Y'know, I was about to give Trump the benefit of the doubt and look up what he actually said, because if he suggested that there should be an independent ratings body instead of one run by the video game publishers, or maybe that there should be a rating system involving ages like we have in Europe that has laws around banning children from buying the games. I may not agree, but at least he wouldn't be spouting shit about something that already exists.
But no, he just said rating system. And not just for games, he wants a rating system for movies too. HOW NOVEL Quote:

Sometimes I go to gamefaqs just to see how far the gaming community has sunk. Today, I found a guy arguing in favor of being toxic and trash talking, and comparing it to proffesional fighters like Ali and McGregor.
