Re: Gaming thoughts of the day

This might not be that useful because it's not really retro, but I think this is the best example of how big chain stores have utter contempt for their customers and don't actually 'care' about gaming or whatever.

When GAME were having their financial trouble and it looked like they were going to close completely, EA (among others) prohibited them from selling certain products of theirs, one of which being Mass Effect 3. I was so shocked when I saw what they did next, I actually took a photo -

https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/523001_10150697993673390_1548114080_n.jpg

So their solution to not being able to sell Mass Effect 3 was to put it's 2 year old prequel in the #1 chart slot, with a sticker conveniently covering the title number. Wonder how many mum's, etc got duped into buying the wrong game, just disgraceful really.

^Oh, wow.
Right on!
Very well done sir.
These are the kind of photo's I cream over
Thanks! 8) I would have aimed for a better picture if I knew so many people here would comment.

You inspired me heavily. I worked up a real sweat moving everything over. Thanks Chris!

Sorry I know this comes across as showing off. No more I promise. I just finished up the whole room
SO kinda proud :oops:

Looks really good, nice and tidy. I like looking at game rooms/collections, I lurk the DP and Retro Gamer forums and have seen dozens of tours on YouTube; I find it really interesting to see how different people like to store/display their stuff.

I actually wish more people here would post some snaps, I've seen some really impressive stuff added to this topic over the years and I'm pretty nosey. :P

Im so jealous of the Jewel dreamcast cases yall got over there (top left of pic) wish we got those in the U.S.
^ I don't. Those things are as bad as US Saturn Cases. breath wrong and they shatter and they are not standard so replacing them is a hassle
I agree with you both, they do have a unique charm to them (not to mention the nostalgia value) but on the other hand they are quite fragile and are a pain in the arse to replace.

lol, "Lylat Wars". You guys get so hosed on so much stuff. :lol:
Back then yeah, although this didn't really effect me as I wasn't into Star Fox. I would have been more annoyed by say... having to import Shenmue II for the DC.

Re: Gaming thoughts of the day

Ocarina of Time was my first and only experience of Zelda, I've been thinking about the series (especially the older games) a lot recently and I remember being fascinated with the Link's Awakening cover art when it was released, I regret not getting into it back then, especially considering I wasted my parent's money on shite like Rise of the Robots...

Anyway I decided to see if I could find the TV commercial when I stumbled across this masterpiece from Japan.

As Henry has mentioned in another topic, a beta version of Resident Evil 1.5 has been released. I wanted to wait until a more complete release but caved and tried out the beta. It's really fun to be playing it after all these years but now more than ever I'm glad they went back to the drawing board with RE2.

Re: What Game/Games Are You Currently Playing?

While I love the game. It's overly QTE heavy. I hope LoS2 fixes that.
Just finished the first chapter, here are my initial impressions for what their worth.

Really nice art style, especially some of the environments, there's lots of variety, combat, puzzles, boss fights. I agree there's too many QTE, being forced to hold RT every 2 seconds during that Ice Titan fight wasn't engaging, it was annoying.

Minor complaints would be that to me the voice acting is a little stunted, Gabriel's accent is a bit questionable but you can overlook that, especially when Marie shows up to let you hear what really bad voice acting sounds like, also she had really weird model animation in one of the early scenes.

Like I said these are minor complaints, they're certainly not impeding my enjoyment of the game, not nearly as much as my own retardation is in any case.
