The Computer/Console Gaming Thread

The Arcade SSFIVis ok. Only 1 character is new, and he is one fo the brothers of a character already in there. the other three are just evil veriosn of previous characters. Although I don't see how Akum can be more evil:D Haven't had much of a chance to play it either. darnit.

I got that, well the add-on for SSFIV, but remember how they were saying that the enhancements for SSFIV were more complex, so they had no choice but to make a new game for SSFIV?

Keeping that in mind, have a look at how poor the MVC3 Online interface is and compare that to the awesome one of SSFIV. I was kind of annoyed that even though MVC3 came out after SSFIV, they didn't have the same options (online watch/replay mode, waiting setup) as SSFIV had.

Should have seen this coming really.

I kind of assumed that they didn't want to spend too much on making SFIV, in case they discovered people were tired of the old 2d one on one fighter, but surely after 3 SFIVs, and one MVC3, plus their plans for Tekken crossover, they would be able to see that they can make things a little nicer from scratch. but I guess there is more cash in doing it all over again.

Hopefully you'll be able to download these extras instead of buying the game again.

ohhhh what? I wasn't aware of this, too focused on Mass Effect 3. Crazy...PLEASE bring in Lady from Devil May Cry...

SSFIV arcade edition brings along a bunch of character move changes (mainly reducing the dmg on most ultras and nerfing abel ).

It brings in the brothers Yun and Yang + evil ryu and Oni Akuma.

I don't think the game is worth the price tag it is now (23.99 on psn? wat the?!).

Evil ryu is ok...though replacing his shinkuu hadouken with the raging demon makes him a little crap. Being able to juggle with his hurricane kick is good. His Metsu hadouken can also be delayed if the punch buttons are held.

Oni Akuma is the worst character ever. He no longer has his air hadouken, can no longer juggle with his hurricane kick and his shoryuken is hard to cancel into other moves now (can only focus dash cancel if it is hit from a short distance i think). The only thing i can see that's good from him are his air dashes and his air raging demon. Besides those 2 points, he's a gimped Akuma with the body of Gouken and a new fast overhead slam...

The game is only worth it if you're training for tournaments or you're interested in using either Yun or Yang.

Resident evil 5...resident evil 5 Gold edition. They also force you to buy residen evil 5 gold edition if you want to play with the psMove...they said it would be hard to integrate the controller through an update (even though heavy rain provided a free update to support the psMove!).

Capcom have always been known to be money grubbing ... But it looks like everyone is following suit now...

Online passes which must be bought to play online if you got your game 2nd hand (Official sony games will be doing this as well. E.g. Resistance 3).

DLC Pricing for content already on the disc. Mortal kombat and the costumes...it's already on the disc because you face off against those classic costumes in the Tower mode (Sub zero and Scorpion classic costumes) and the hidden characters during the ladder match! (Jade and reptile classic costumes).

DLC is ruining games for me. I understand developers wanting to keep their games fresh, but they are doing previous developers injustice by not releasing a product they can stand behind as 100% completed. I wish I could submit a half-arsed effort to my boss and just say 'it's OK, I'll fix it in another 2 months' :rolleyes:

Yeh, DLC is cool, but the powers of DLC have been turned to evil. I find it hard to belive that Capcom wanted peopl to buy the Two player mode for that resident evil. that sucks.

On a different story though, I bought the Incredible Hulk game for my PS3 second hand. It looked a lot like Hulk : Ultimate Destruction which I really enjoyed on the PS2. I am actually enjoying it. that VA sucks and the 'story' cut scenes are worse than the ones on ROTF. A static screen of a 'hacked' phone and some voice over, I kid you not. But the gameplay isn't too bad, the Hulk can knock down ANY building. Its cool, jumping throught the air... aah, picking fights and smashing cars, just good wholesome destruction.

I just wish it were a tad more like Ult destruction, that was cool as it had a heap more fighting moves. So far I ahve only found about 6 or 7 combos and move types. Pretty impressed for an old 2008 game that is based off a movie. mindless fun and cheap too.

Well, after grabbing my Ocarina edition Zelda, She Who Shall Be Obeyed ordered me to purchase a 3DS and get rid of the old DS. Afetr some quick googling and discovering all my Japanese DS games will work on a 3DS, I went to Target and got one for $299, Plus a rubbishy looking raving rabbids game.....

I just traded in my PSP console and games, plus some unplayed Wii games and got myself a 3DS as well over the weekend! Absolutely love it! :D

Zelda: Ocarina in time was also the first 3DS game I played. It took awhile to get your head round the 3D. When you first see it, it kinda makes you dizzy!

oh so the 3ds is only region locked for 3ds games? not ds games? bah even then region locking for handheld games are a no no for me. Plus they cancelled their proposed localisation for Ace attorney investigations 2! (my favourite series on the ds).

Can't afford to pay the ridiculous prices australia has for 3ds games...Can get a ps3 game at the same price or lower online :).

Hell even Mass effect 2 on the ps3 is insanely cheap at jbhifi and game! (29 and 28 dollars respectively).

I think I just peed my pants in joy!


SOnic Generations speccy edition

And it looks like a proper "special edition" none of this 'free dlc' to make a spec edition game.

Nothing, I mean nothing will stop me from this!!
