Or you could make a good game. I hear that helps with funding new projects.
Still playing through XIII-2, though I'll switch between it and Halo: ODST (damn that soundtrack is wonderful), and I might finish my Mirror's Edge speedrun achievements.
Humble Android Bundle is still up, for those who are still interested at www.humblebundle.com, and they just added Toki Tori to the bundle, which is free for all who've already purchased the bundle. You should check it out!
Give more than 10 bucks to get Tower of Heaven's soundtrack, which is chip heaven.
Also, I definitely preferred the soundtracks to Aquaria and To The Moon to Superbrothers, which I found a tad overrated. Jamestown's soundtrack was great, but disappointing since I'm so used to hearing Manabu Namiki music when I shoot shit up. Video for emphasis.
Aquaria's soundtrack is a gem, for sure.
So then, this is like a gay minority version of Napple Tale, then?
Napple Tale was a good game with a great soundtrack. Let's see if Arkh System Works can even come close.
As a long time, and I mean LONG time fighting game player, I can tell you that personal preference plays a major part in things....until your fighting game utilizes more than 4 buttons or you hit your skill ceiling with a pad, necessitating the use of a stick for higher-level execution.
I've played so much KoF in arcades and on NeoGeo as a child, on both stick and pad, to tell you that it's not hard to play competently on a pad as long as the button count remains low. It was still sort of hard to hit multiple button combinations with my thumb (later KoF entries made this into an art form), but it was very much something that could be done. Thing is, unless you are amazing at fighting games, you will hit a skill ceiling after awhile, some people hit it sooner rather than later, and you'll hit it sooner if you're using a pad, which becomes far more noticeable if you're playing a game that requires insane levels of execution, like 3rd Strike or Garou. The transition from pad to stick can take a few weeks, but you have to keep at it. If you do, you'll notice yourself visibly approaching the skill level on stick that you have on controller. Once you become proficient on stick and begin to understand its advantages over a controller, even playing at the higher levels that a stick can more easily enable, it becomes very difficult to play fighting games on a controller, since you will feel like many feats of high level execution are locked out while using it. Hell, certain characters have a low skill ceiling due to ease of use, and can be played at a fairly high level with pad, but every now and then, there are characters, like Makoto and Urien in 3rd Strike, and C. Viper in SFIV, that make owning a stick a much more attractive option.
Some D-Pads are superior for fighting games, most of them circular, like the Saturn's D-Pad, the Gravis GamePad Pro's D-Pad, and the Logitech Cordless PS2/PS3 controller's D-Pad, while others aren't as great, but people use them out of both necessity, and the aversion to dropping money on an arcade stick (PS3 D-Buttons). Meanwhile, a few shouldn't even be used for fighting games (360 S). Point is, if you're just playing local multiplayer with your friends on the couch, hoping to pull off some flashy moves every now and then, a stick is not for you. You can do just fine on a pad. If you're looking to up your game and play at higher levels of execution, you should use a stick--there really is no competition.
I saw the post entitled "This is Kotaku East" and I had to check the comments for pink.
Also NEVAR FORGET
So, on Thursday, Kirk will write about soundtracks from games not called NieR, and on Friday, I should stick to Kotaku Core?
That is, unless you crosspost the article to Jezebel and Gawker.... Then I'll read, if only because I'm planning to start a drinking game where I take a shot every time I see one of the following hashtags in the comments:
#rapeculture
#whiteprivilege
#heteronormative
#bodysnarking
#patriarchy
#mansplaining
You guys'll play too, right?
Make something good enough and it may join the ranks of Aladdin's Private Reserve, The Conquistador, and the Lucky Shot, all great community-made items we've shipped this year that were mentioned by name on rap oracle LL Cool J's 1987 album "Bigger and Deffer".
This entire post is def. Just unequivocally def. In fact, this may be the mos def I've ever seen in a post. And I'm spent. Good night everyone.
Well, it didn't play games before, and now it does. I just have to remotely open it with the controller at the dashboard.
No, it is easier to simply install an .apk file to pirate Android software. Thing is, iPhone jailbreaking is very common in Japan, where I have numerous friends tell me that DoCoMo and Softbank employees don't recommend purchasing iPhones WITHOUT jailbreaking, almost as if it's required. Once jailbroken, it isn't much more difficult to pirate Apple Store software than it is your average PC game. No idea about Windows Phone 7, though. I hear they're born fully-formed from Windows Phone 7 trees.
Tons of people who shouldn't be married are getting married. That's pretty much it.
Yeah, it won't control as well as the original, but maybe the new control scheme would necessitate new levels!
In any case, let's hope Android or WP7 gets the game, at the very least. It's good to see that more and more developers are seeing the huge and untapped Android market and are starting to release more games over there. Hell, I thought the Japanese market was going to stay strictly iPhone for a long time, if not permanently, such that all the Japanese developers would only release ports on iPhone and iPad, but Android is a pretty big thing in Japan right now, which could have a HUGE impact on the Android games selection in the next year or so.
Best Kart Racer: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
So I fixed my 360's disc drive....but now my eject button isn't working for some reason. Let's just say I'm glad that Mass Effect 3 is supposed to be on one disc. If I wanna go back and play Mass Effect 2 again, however.....
Maybe I just need to dismantle the bastard again.
At least now I have something to shoot for in my Insanity playthrough.
Can't wait until they flood the Halo 4 community for the first three months after release before going back to Call of Duty 2012. I think I'll probably find another game to play temporarily when that happens.
You had to wait until about February or March for the Reach community to clean up; I suspect it'll be the same way for Halo 4, provided it comes out at roughly the same time as Reach did.
I haven't even returned my second one yet. I already know where this is heading. They may replace it for free, but it costs ten bucks to ship it, so that's ten bucks down the drain when the next one craps out a month later. I've heard the non-TE controllers last loner because the analog ratchets are what causes many of the problems, but I just don't care anymore. Bring on the MLG controller!
Though I will miss adjustable analogs and mouse-style buttons...
MLG controller = WANT.
I need something third-party to fill the void in my soul left by Razer's abomination.
Funny how I find myself comparing a somewhat respectable peripherals manufacturer's product to Mad Catz of old, while wanting a product from the more modern Mad Catz to replace it. That's how you know you dun goofed, Razer.
