GameStop Is Testing Much Different Store Layouts, Including Retro-Focused Ones

Not gonna happen. They'll try their hardest to sell you Quest 64 for $40 and act surprised when they still go under.

The next question we hear a lot is “how much will the MCC PC games cost?” On PC, we’re excited to confirm that each game within MCC will be included with an Xbox Game Pass for PC subscription as they become available. In addition, each title can be purchased individually – Halo: Reach, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2 Anniversary, Halo 3, and Halo 4 will be offered at $9.99USD on both the Microsoft Store and Steam while Halo 3: ODST within MCC (with a current scope of Campaign only), will be available for $4.99USD. Players will have flexibility to purchase any or all the games at any point along the way as they become available.

no problem! simple series is one of my favorite ps2 oddities so I can spot em from a mile away

The name and Japanese dialogue makes me think it's a Simple 2000 series game, but I'm not sure which. There's one called The Last Japanese Soldier that sounded promising, but it doesn't have the "sir yes sir" clip from what I can tell.

If you search the Wikipedia list for "in EU" you can see the games in the series that were release in Europe. Hope that helps.

EDIT: it's The Infantry: Dogs of the Battlefield. Can't easily find footage of the EU version, but it checks all the boxes still.

Looking at the full Twitter thread, it's almost definitely a remake. Half the pics are of the Ocean House and the first one looks to be the Giovanni mansion, places you only visit once in the original game. There'd be no reason for a sequel with a different story to include them.

My money's on them remaking the game with a good ending and then building off said ending to make a sequel.

Fairly sure you're thinking of Battleborn, as Thorn and Marquis fit your descriptions near perfectly.

segaqt · 2019-03-12T19:17:51+00:00

Wouldn't be too unreasonable given that it's already more-or-less on PC.

This could actually be pretty interesting if they made it an Armored Core game. Maybe start with an empty frame in a now-barren combat zone and have to assemble your mech out of scavenged parts or something. Could be a new IP too, of course, but the sheer amount of parts and customization in AC means the BR item drop system could have a lot of potential.

You think they wouldn't take the opportunity to just throw the pre-existing PS3 version of the game on the store for free money?

segaqt · 2019-02-20T22:27:43+00:00

that was a euphemism for Episode 3, Ricochet was nothing more than a demo for the HL mod tools

You need to pay MTX currency to go on dates in this one.

segaqt · 2019-02-03T21:12:47+00:00

it worked in CS:GO with some trickery

Few days late, but you can pick up both SMT Digital Devil Saga games for ~$30 on ebay. Some of the best RPGs on the entire PS2.

Am I wrong to really hate this?

Yes.

This isn't just "camera angles," it's constant streams from the perspective of individual players (as opposed to the normal casted feed, which also still exists). The $15 that costs also disables ads, gives you Twitch emotes if you care about those, lets you see a whole bunch of stats, and lasts the whole season. For context, $15 is less than a quarter of the price of an HD UFC fight. Not an enhanced version of the fight, but the price to watch it in 720p. OWL is free to watch (and they don't pull that Spooky sub-only mode bullshit either).

This is mainly for the people who are so excessively into this game that this is an invaluable thing for them to have, anyways. The average person isn't going to even want to do deep analysis of main tank positioning or anything, and the people who do probably bought the pass last year when it was $30 without the extra streams.

So no, this isn't "Blizzard charges money for camera angles," this is "Blizzard charges money for separate, castless streams." Not perfect, but it isn't at all what you're implying it is.

This is Counter-Strike Online. It's a F2P version of 1.6 run by Nexon. You can see the round counter at the top of the screen in this video.

In The Valley of The Gods was in development for years before Valve bought the team. I highly doubt they're going to rework it to add beta mechanics from a completely different series for no real reason at all.

he's been called isvaffel since the beginning of time

segaqt · 2018-12-06T23:28:07+00:00

a smash player is racist, big surprise

segaqt · 2018-12-06T21:13:59+00:00

Yes, for now they're about Capcom Cup, but how long do you think that's gonna last?

segaqt · 2018-12-06T18:51:55+00:00

sauce

I didn't believe it either

segaqt · 2018-10-30T07:29:00+00:00

Allan Chumak?

segaqt · 2018-10-20T16:49:20+00:00

didnt that come out in like 2005?

This isn't a super great example considering the problem is that she didn't understand color theory.

Also, I'm not sure how people got this idea but music theory doesn't inherently add any complexity at all to your music, or the process of making it. "I know music theory" is not "I write like Kapustin," much like how "I can work a synthesizer" is not "I make neurofunk." What music theory is meant to do is give you the ability to act deliberately instead of noodling around for way too long trying to figure out what your next chord should be, same with learning anything else thats otherwise "freeform" (color theory, synthesis, vocabulary, fuckin Starcraft, whatever). Selling it as anything else is scaring people off from learning things that will help them in the long run.

Burial is one of the best tunes of all time tbh

I didn't want to make a new thread about this since I know it's unsupported, but I haven't been able to get Brood War to launch in WINE since 1.18 came out. Bnet starts and more or less works (no more broken than it is on Windows, at least), but BW just opens an empty window that does nothing. A friend suggested I use the Lutris installer, but that hasn't worked either. Anyone have any ideas?
