The Official Video Game Thread

[Garlic Man]

Kind of surprised this forum doesn't already have a thread like this, may as well start it


Video games general for anything really, whether it be opinions, news, etc

Apparently LoL players can now get Visas by being recognized as professional 'atheletes.' eSports is going mainstream

 

[NotABannableOffense]

Yeah, esports!

Is athletes really the correct term to be used here, given it generally implies physical sports?

[Cackletta]

since it IS a forum for Video Game stuff, I am keeping my gates on Animal Crossing New Leaf open for faraway towns.

 

[U freak]

Donkey Kong is now available on the wii u eshop for only thirty cents!

But you probably already knew that.

 

[Master Crash]

Think it's worth a sticky.

Anyway, TWEWY is on sale for 10 bucks in the app store, is it worth the buy?

 

[ToxBox]

Yes, get it

 

[Nabber]

What exactly is it like? I might snag it.

 

[Boozooka]

TWEWY is like Tales if every character was Jade Curtiss and the gameplay took a few speed tablets. Good game.

 

[Nabber]

I bought it. It's okay so far.

 

[Master Crash]

welp cant buy it because my camera lacks flash or something ???

 

[Nabber]

yeah that's why I couldn't buy it on my iPod and I was pissed

so I just bought the hd version on my iPad

 

[Master Crash]

welp, i'll just wait until i get myself an iphone

 

[Nabber]

I considered downloading the Japanese .apk for my Android, but that probably wouldn't have been a good idea.

 

[Xluidi]

Get the DS version, it's cheap for a DS game, and the dual-screen gameplay adds so much compared to the 1-screen approach the iOS version has. (And yes, I've played both)

 

[Nabber]

yeah I'm pretty disappointed how Shiki is so downgraded from her gameplay in the original

 

[EctoBiologist]

I've played the actual game.

I could actually help you guys.

you guys could basically set your partner to auto and if you're in like the end, try to get the dragon couture pins and evolve them since they're pretty powerful.

If you absolutely need to, set your partner to auto, but I recommend you eventually set it to Manual, dat dual-screen light-puck passing is just pure bliss to play.

What the fuck were you doing EA.

 

[Xluidi]

What the fuck were you doing EA.

This could be applied to almost everything EA has done except the Origin Bundle.

This might be something I consider purchasing if the pricepoint is right.

GTA5 is meant to be amazing. It has also become the fastest selling game of all time. A lot of people out school have got it.
