  1. Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon.

    I was buying a bunch of games for my DS used on a spree, and I picked this one up based on the name alone.

    But as I started playing, one thing really bugged the shit out of me.

    Just look at this battle animation.

    IT LOOKS SO FUCKING BAD. Gah

     

    Compared to Sacred Stones (for GBA), which I loved:

    Limited by the GBA's hardware, yet still pleasing on the eyes.

     

    Maybe that's just me. But it absolutely ruin the DS game for me. I can't play it.

  2. I took a few days off of work because of the holidays, so I fired up Super Mario Galaxy 2 for the first time last week. I got all of the 241 stars except for the last one, because it's pretty insanely difficult to get.

     

    Now I'm trying my hand at Ōkami. It's sort of fun, but at the same time, it's a little annoying. Like, when people talk and they make that pseudo talking noise. That, and after playing SBG2, which is gorious, Ōkami looks very, very washed out.

  3. Unless of course you knew I knew and that was some sort of sad personal attack because you feel threatened by the fact I despise Apple...

    A personal attack over the internet? Nah bro, that's retarded. But there is a taint over this entire thread that screams, "Ahh, a company is making money and is thus evil!"

    Objection.

    "- has a rich and robust set of applications"

    ....which are mostly in-bred coppies of each other, or access to websites you wouldnt NEED in the android..since android has FLASH.

    "has a great multitude of configurations, meaning programmers have to either program to the lowest common denominator or make a choice of what phones they are program for (e.g. processor speed, multi-touch interface vs. single touch)"

    then that's the problem of the consumer. They would get the Device that best fits their needs. If youre using a cheap android phone, then you wouldnt HAVE it to play those High-end apps. YOu would have a more powerfull device for that.

    1. Uh, no? Flash is not the end-all-beat-all programming code. I think maybe once or twice I've gone to a website in the past year and a half on my phone and said to myself, "Oh man, I really wish I had Flash right now." And it was more so because I wanted some information that the website had that could have been easily programmed in another language.

    2. I would hardly call Angry Birds a high-end app. The people that buy that kind of phone are the kind of people who use their phone for fun. They buy a phone assuming it can play a game.

    AThat's rapidly becoming an issue with IOS devices now too since you have late model phones and earlier model phones as well as the various tablets all with wildly different capabilities. With both platforms you have to put a wall down somewhere. Sure, there are more devices that are current at any given time with Android, but it's not like everyone keeps their IOS devices current.

    True, but in Apple function, it'll blanket ban devices from getting updated.

    (My iPod touch is a few years old, so I'm thinking that it will probably not make the cut to iOS 7.) Then the new apps that demand better performance will not be available to the older systems.

    It's much like the old Windows vs. Apple debate. Windows computers are very customizable, but you have many more compatibility issues with components.

  4. The bottom line 1LT Worm is that Apple likes to keep you in a closed ecosystem which maximises Apples profits and limits user choices. And Android is open and free you can pretty much do what you want with it and use whatever software you want with it. So yeah fuck Apple and their whole way of thinking.

    However, their closed ecosystem:

    - has a rich and robust set of applications

    - has a limited numbers of configuration, maximizing compatibility

    If I get an app and the specs says it will work, it will work.

    In contrast to Android's "open" ecosystem, it:

    - has a rich and robust set of applications

    - has a great multitude of configurations, meaning programmers have to either program to the lowest common denominator or make a choice of what phones they are program for (e.g. processor speed, multi-touch interface vs. single touch)

    If I get an app, it may or not work. A friend of mine couldn't even play Angry Birds on her phone that she purchased late last year. ANGRY BIRDS.

    Apple is a company, and a company's purpose is to make money. While Android might be open and free, Google is still a company, and they're still making money. Don't be foolish...they're not doing this just to be nice.

  5. This thread:

    "EERRRMAHGAWD I HATE APPLE. APPLE SUCKS DONKEY DICKS. ONLY FAGGOTS USE APPLE PRODUCTS. ANDROID IS MUCH BETTER. I MUST SUCK ANDROID DICK"

    The fingerprint thing might be useful. It seems like the technology is much more solid than a $15 scanner from Best Buy. But that's not the real reason to get the 5S.

    When the iPhone first came out, they came up with some pretty cool apps. It might be even cooler seeing what people can do with a 64-bit processor.

    Oh yeah--you guys sort of breezed over this one--it has a 64-bit processor. Does your Android have one? No? The increase in available processing power might make it so someone can design an add-on and turn your iPhone into a Tricorder. Or Universal Translator. Or some other futuristic thing. It may not happen with this generation, but forward progress is good.

    But at the end of the day, buying an iPhone versus a Samsung is essentially like buying a Toyota over a Honda. They both do what you want to do, only in a slightly different way.

    There's really no point in having blind rage over something like that. It's a matter of style. To each his own. It's not affecting you in the slightest. So cool your jets.

  6. So, I may be totally necro-ing this thread, but whatever.

    So a few weeks ago, I decided, "What the hell?" and decided to buy a combo pack of Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm. I haven't bought a computer game in YEARS....but I'm very glad I did. Does anyone play this game still? Or better yet, have you bought the expansion??

    Let's play some motherfuckin' SC.

  7. H:iamafuckingtool:wever, she has nice b:iamafuckingtool: :iamafuckingtool:bs, and that's all the matters.

    But, when did Square take :iamafuckingtool:ver T:iamafuckingtool:mb Raider?

    (P.S. Happy Greenm:iamafuckingtool:te Day)

  8. I admit every game I've played as of late in teh series I put down like halfway through out of sheer boredom, but I have a good feeling about this one being a good starting point to get back in.

    This. I got halfway through Emerald and White, and just went, "Meh."

    But I thought they retired all the old Pokémon....why am I seeing Pikachu everywhere?

  9. Sonic Team should just release a game like Sonic Adventure 2, but just Sonic levels. No fucking emerald hunting, no gatdam robo-mech-shooter-through-bullet-hell stages (lol you get a life bar, but lol @ u if you get hit and still want an A on the level), no retarded fishing stages. No werehogs, no driving Sonic like a go-kart.

    Just Sonic running around really fast.

    Throw in some kick ass music with a fat and funky bass line and choose a cool art style to base the game on.
