    Bayonetta on PS3 still have issues?

    Just played it recently post-update on the ps3. My session was near flawless. Load times are frequent, but short enough now where they're bearable (plus you can practice combos in them which is always fun). I remember only two moments of slowdown during fights, both earlier on in tutorial-like...

    Confessions of the Soul

    Forgive me father, for I have sinned. ... I've clocked in around 200 hours on Sonic Shuffle. On singleplayer :(

    Link me your favorite tracks from Sonic's 16 bit era!

    I'm a big fan of these (strictly speaking, these links aren't the actual 16-bit version of the songs, but 'cleaner' versions of them): Flying Battery Zone [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LP5cMfa41uM&feature=plcp] Aquatic Zone [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuwEEmAF4uY&feature=plcp] Super...

    Deadly premonition...should i get?

    Deadly premonitions is pretty much a trainwreck if we're talking about technical quality. The graphics are abysmal, theres frame drops in the weirdest of places, texture pops everywhere, and the sound mixing is sometimes downright atrocious. That said, it's got an undeniable endearing...

    Building a badass Venusaur

    Get yourself a bellsprout, teach it cut and flash. It can still carry the sleep-powder for helping out with capturing pokes, or possibly stun-spore if you prefer. Alternatively, you could make it carry sunny day and solar beam (sunny day doubles its speed, so it'll almost always go first...

    Self imposed challenges

    Oh, plenty of them. Deus ex: hr - pacifist ninja, was actually pleasantly surprised there was an actual trophy for it Batman: AA - maximum efficiency, must do all stealth sections by taking down each consecutive opponent without letting them discover a single collared body, in minimum...

    Next gen game graphics are hugely unimpressive

    This is incorrect. Super Mario 64 was a massive jump from the previous pixel 2D games. Sonic adventure was a massive jump from "3D sonic blast". Power stone was a massive jump from the old timey virtua fighters. Halo was a pretty big jump The original resistance on the ps3 was a big jump...

    Change one thing about a sport to make it absurdly dangerous.

    Basketball: the floor is replaced with ice Ice hockey: players must now play with axes instead Professional wrestling: your opponent is now some form of a starved and rabid animal Tennis: the ball is now on fire NASCAR racing: cars no longer have braking systems I love this thread :D...

    Ethical choices in gaming

    Yknow, bastion had a pretty great ethical choice at the end. It wasn't choosing between lesser evils either. I hate arbitrary mother Theresa vs hitler moral choices too, but they CAN be done well if there's some actual significance within the context of the game. GTA4 was probably the silliest...

    A Game to Restore My Faith in Games?

    Older retro stuff like streets of rage (from sega genesis) or crazy taxi (from dreamcast) are available on stuff like the PSN and xbla. They're not ports, technically, they run virtually on your machine through emulation. I can't explain it well in technical terms (think of it as your PS3 trying...

    One hand gaming

    You could actually play a lot of simple platfomers, like braid or limbo and such. Supermeatboy's out of the question, but vvvvvv works just fine one handed, and is suitably challenging too if you're into that. A lot of games you play will have to be a little easy going to compensate.... But if...

    I want to love gaming, but I can't.

    People have been claiming DOOM for the gaming industry for a while now, that it's gotten terrible and it's going to crash and a whole lot of other nonsense that's been plaguing it since its very inception. Nostalgia isn't always a good thing, especially if it's rose-tinted and coloring your...

    Help Building Confidence for MOBA's

    You're gonna want to stick with real people if you're looking to learn the game. Friends are ideal, if they're at your skill level. Bots are for getting familiar with the UI or if you want to experiment with a hero you've never played before. Try not to depend on them for learning how the game...
