I'm actually having a hard time motivating myself to play OoT. It's just feeling a little too closed/small/linear for my tastes. It's like I want that gameplay, but in a different package. Kingdoms of Amalur has been filling in that need very well lately.

It really is nice. I got it initially when I picked up that Ocarina of Time special edition 3DS years back, played it a little more when the 3DS XL came out, and actually started all the way over when I got the *new* 3DS XL. Running that game in full 3D and still being able to use gyro controls is pretty effing sweet.Shadowman wrote:I picked up Ocarina of Time 3D last night.

It's not exactly PS4/XBone quality graphics, but the improvements over the N64 version are immediately noticeable.
Oh yeah, the porting is amazing. They did a great job of preserving the integrity of the original and tossing in just the right amount of modern touches. If I didn't know any better, I'd say it's always been a 3DS game.Shadowman wrote:I picked up Ocarina of Time 3D last night.

Good stuff. I'll be out of town next week and will be diving back in or playing Mass Attack
I'm old school, so I'm sick for collectibles. I have to make myself stop now a days just because the time invested rarely is worth the payout.william-james88 wrote:Hey Cary, I was curious as to how you dealt with collectables. With Luigi's Mansion DS I was at first really into them. I had to get all the gems. But in the end, they dont do too much and now that I have all the upgrades for my vacuum, exploring locations for more wealth is useless, so I just go about the main quest without looking arond as much as before. Also many of those gems are just so damn random I have to look up guides online and I dont really feel like doing that for a cute nintendo game like this (its not like Metal Gear 3 where I badly needed a guide).
Those things are tempting but I don't any old carts. Emulation is king!itscramtastic wrote:So..Retron5?
GameStop still has them for purchase online, I have coupons and credit, maybe I'll pick one up with two SNES controllers and two Genesis controllers?
Gaming?
Emulation is quite nice (and the Retron5 is a glorified emulator), but I do have old NES, Genesis, Game Boy/Advance (and hopefully some SNES carts) still and I feel bad for not using them and buying the Virtual Console versionscarytheone wrote:Those things are tempting but I don't any old carts.

So there is a game that I've wanted to play since I've heard about it. I'm kind of a cheap ass and most indie games either become one of the "free" PS+ games are get severe discounts. Guess what I got this month:
Paint me excited!
If you don't know anything about this game, then stay that way, go find a copy for your gaming system of choice and play it. If you want to know more then I'll give you just a bit more. It's what the kids would "a walking simulator" (goddammit CoD). Think MYST if you're old enough. All I will tell you is that you explore a house and there is a mystery to be solved. I finished it about 5 hours (probably cause I like to take my time and enjoy a game). And if you want just more than my seal of approval, my wife applauded as the credits rolled
seriously

You really think the people who make a budget restricted game like Gone Home have enough money to buy off reviewers?
william-james88 wrote:Did the people who made Proteus buy the reviewers too?
william-james88 wrote:Is it because those who did "Everyone's Gone to the Rapture" didnt pay reviewers that it got such a low score?

First time I've ever heard of that game. But from what little research I did, it looks like they actually earned those reviews.
You want to see games as art? Play Journey. $15 on PS3 or PS4, and getting it for one let's you get it for free on the other. It's is easily the most beautiful game I've ever played, and it's the only game soundtrack to have been nominated for a Grammy for Best Original Score. (Its competitors that year were Howard Shore, Hans Zimmer, and John freaking Williams.)
Do you seriously pay $20 a ticket for the movies?
And like I condescendingly said, that's a totally unrelated thing. Do you seriously expect the same experience from a movie as you do a video game?

Yeah, I don't do that. I got MP Optimus when I was a kid with money I got from my birthday, but that's the extent of it.

This is very interesting, would you mind providing a link to that article?

Seems like that is Naughty Dog's entire agenda

But lots do. Or else they would stop selling em. My only point was that value for amount of entertainment in minutes is very subjective. Even in games. A game can be long but not fun to play. You can buy the risen series for cheap but its a slog and there are plenty better things we could do with the time spent playing that game. And that notion can be extrapolated to other things.
william-james88 wrote:And yes I do agree that there is such a thing as overpaying. I personally feel I overpaid when I bought Stanley's parable for 5$. That was a walking simulator and it was similar to watching a boring ass movie that didnt go anywhere (like Lost in Translation).

So right there you just confirmed that value and worth is really in the eye of the beholder.

I never said it wasn't. I said there's a limit.
It is, however, tremendously hilarious that, rather than argue any of the actual points I made on the game, you instead try to poke holes in something you only imagined that I said.

Your whole argument with the fallout 4 expansion was about the worth of a game. I am not poking holes, I am simply stating that not everyone will agree with your idea of worth since it is in the eye of the beholder.
I also greatly dislike how you are coming at me now making fun of my arguments. I am trying to be civil and I did enjoy our back and forth. I dont now and I dont care to continue.
