The Computer/Console Gaming Thread

[G1Optimal]

There's an FCC listing for a new piece of hardware from an applicant that happens to be using the Xbox teams FCC ID number and it's under NDA at the FCC till Microsoft's press briefing at E3. I bet new consoles coming from both companies this Christmas. I am disappointed to see Sony is using the AMD Jaguar architecture again instead of AMD's new Zen architecture that's going to be out by the end of the year. I guess I should go to EB Games and preorder tomorrow. With the current consoles that they released 3 years ago EB Games had them in the computer months before E3.

It just a guess but the upgraded system is probably for psvr

Trev, I loved the first DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball, still a great sports game. The second one was ruined by minigames and other BS between the volleyball matches, I just want to play Volleyball.

Do yourself a favour and track down Beach Spikers!
Girls are still pretty hot but mostly volleyball

This new one tho seems to have little to do with Volleyball and more to do with just being creepy. Having the girls including Marie Rose who looks like a tween and not an adult do striptease really makes me think the target audience for this game is perverts and not guys that like a sports game with a little eye candy. Also apparently the amount of new content compared to recycled content is disappointing for a full priced game.

I was going to order it from Play Asia but the actual criticism of it and not the sensationalist criticism of it really put me off. If they made a pure Volleyball game with the DOA girls I'd be all over it, but this isn't it.

Yeah I loved the first game as well. It was a perfect wind-down game and since you could have your own music playing in the game (if you had uploaded it to your Xbox) I would just sit in the beanbag for hours casually playing and listening to some upbeat jams.

I never bothered with the second one as I didn't buy an Xbox360 (went the PS3 route for WFC) and apparently the boobs independently jiggling made you seasick

The more I read about this new game the more dissapointed Im feeling. Apparently the volleyball itself sucks and yeah - I'm totally not keen on them having a tween character like Marie Rose in it. Thats ok for the perverts I guess, but if you perfer your DOAX characters to be actual women (and of the.. ahem... full figured upstairs persuasion) its an odd inclusion. Im digging the other new character though, Honoka - she looks awesome!

But it's all a moot point at the moment because I cant afford a PS4 anyway

But... but... where are the photo shoots? And those girls look like they are playing in suitable attire for the sport - thats not what I'm after at all!

Apparently this is only getting an asia release because some US prudes dont like it (typical, you can rip someones spine out or have completely topless girls in GTA as long as you kill them and steal their car, but girls playing volleyball is apparently offensive ) so I am wondering before I run out and buy a PS4 if games from asia will play on an Australian console. Does anyone know?

If it's Japanese, it won't play on a consoles as they are US region locked. However if on a PS3/4, I believe it's region free when it comes to games.

Also the games were always made for pervs, let's be honest here

For the current gen, only Wii U & 3DS are region locked. DOAX3 is for PS Vita and PS4, so you're good to go. If you buy the Asia version it has English text too, Play-Asia has it here http://www.play-asia.com/search/Dead+or+Alive+Xtreme+3

The only thing is, if you want to get any of the paid DLC, you need to be logged into a PSN account for the region the game is from. You can still download patches regardless of what region PSN account you're using.

On PS4, you can setup different profiles to use different region PSN accounts easily. On PS Vita it's possible but too much hassle, you have to do a format each time you switch.

I remember the days when DOA was about fighting.

and bouncing boobs.

But seriously, the first DOA had a great counter mechanic at the time! Even DOA 2 was nice.

And on region locking Xbox 360 had optional region locking for the developers to implement. Mostly for licencing and region restrictions. There are tons of 360 disk that are region free tho. But the Xbox One is not only region free for disk but you can easily buy digital games from other regions with very little effort. I have several indie games that have never been released here (thank you Aussie government for insisting all games have to be submitted for ratings and only enforcing it on Xbox) that I bought digitally over Xbox Live.

As for DOA fighting games, I love fighting games and this generation I have put many more hours into DOA5LR than MKX or SFV. I found MKX is great but it grew old fast. SFV has some major issues still (patch it Capcom!). But DOA5LR despite being an uprezed verson of a 360 game I played some time ago has stuck with me because the combat is really fun and I feel that even tho I can't pull of their more insane moves I can still do well at it.

I'm persevering with XCOM 2. It is a great game in spite of the loading/pauses. I'm actually using a mod that stops the AVATAR Projects clock from ticking upward so I can fly around the world and do random missions without worrying about the time constraint that's a normal part of the game.

There's a Nintendo Humble Bundle going on right now and this time it's available outside the US.

I'm doing alright in a classic/ironman game on XCOM 1. How are you finding that mod? The ticking clock seems to be a big part of the new game.
