    Can anyone recommend a ps4 controller?

    Battery replacements on the Sony Controllers tend to be pretty straight forward. Sometimes the batteries begin to build memory, where they register a full charge as less and less as time goes on. Most replacement batteries are less than $10 and can easily be found online.

    Television Anime and Manga v41

    Just don't read the Manga that it is based off of until the end. Consider where the Anime finished the proper ending point and you'll be fine. Oh... I see that it's already been mentioned.

    Witcher 3 on Switch gets cross-platform save

    I wish more publishers would do this with their games that are cross platform. But for some reason a lot of publishers seem to think that they own your save data also.

    A few Metroidvania games that I put a few minutes into that are languishing in my STEAM library (and my random thoughts on them): Aerannis: This is a post-Feminist Dystopian Cyber Punk where you play an assassin in world where men no longer exist. I messed with this one a few years ago (it...

    Blizzard/Activision, how far will they fall?

    Which I believe I addressed with the rest of the post that you did not include in youw quote and in the post following that. No matter either way. It looks like Nvidia thought they would have access to those games during the initial 90 days after the beta. It does not look like that was...

    Blizzard/Activision, how far will they fall?

    Latest news on the Activision/Blizzard pull of the games off of Nvidia. As per Nvidia themselves, they weren't supposed to be there. It's a "misunderstanding" of the deal on Nvidia's part. The article: So.... It was over money.

    Shadow Complex is great. It's the only reason why I have the Epic Games launcher on my desktop.

    Television Anime and Manga v41

    I think it's great. Is it perfect? No... The first season was too short. However, if you know the backstory of the production of the series, it makes sense. There are other nit-picky details, but that's the biggest. In the second season, they spent way too much time in the basement of the...

    China is also pushing a "cultural reform" that is pushing traditional martial arts to the forefront. It's a full push, full blown pro-government propaganda movement that they've been pushing for the last few years. It's the reason why Xu Xiaodong's exploits against traditional martial arts...

    ^^ That one is done by Supergiant Games. I knew it looked familiar. While they aren't quite Metroidvania games (a lot of the genres do get muddled), the overhead style reminds me more of Diablo and Bladur's Gate or even classic Legend of Zelda. But they put out great games. The ones that...

    Blizzard/Activision, how far will they fall?

    Twitch is monetized via advertising and subscription fees (explained here). It is too big of a platform to be doing for free. So there's a bunch to possibly ask a cut of. But if we are specifically asking about GeForce, it's explained right on their page itself. The free version of GeForce...

    Blizzard/Activision, how far will they fall?

    Believe me, I can't wrap my head around it either. However, if we take into account how entertainment media has been changed through digital distribution (especially in the areas of how people get paid according to how copyright law is outlined) there's got to be a bigger reason than "these...

    Blizzard/Activision, how far will they fall?

    Actually, as you stated, almost all the big publishers are doing this. I think this has more to do with how digital media is distributed and monetized more than it is that they simply want to be dicks about it. With a lot of the online interaction possibly being monetized down to each click...

    PC or Consoles - Which do you prefer playing video games on?

    I try... But sometimes the obvious isnt always so obvious.

    Two other Metroidvania type games that I've dabbled in lately: Battle Princess Madelyn: This one takes it's cues from Ghosts and Goblins, but is a measure forgiving (not too many cheap deaths meant to steal quarters from you). 2D sprites, great animation, and a really easy to pick up and play...

    PC or Consoles - Which do you prefer playing video games on?

    While I'm no fan of Rob's, he's not talking about anything obtuse or confusing. In fact, if you were able to hook up your own PC or entertainment center and didn't screw up any of the connections, it should be well within your power to run a line or re-locate a PC closer to a TV and connect...

    PC or Consoles - Which do you prefer playing video games on?

    I play wherever the game I want to play happens to be. I'm split pretty equally between Console and PC, but a lot of time I find that my work time sways where I want to play when I get home. When I did game QA in the early turn of the century, I had all of the current consoles but I played...

    Atari is building gaming hotels.

    I wonder if they'll ask to crowd fund these hotels also.

    Nintendo The METROIDVANIA Thread

    No prob. A lot of the indie Metroidvania games are too tempting as "impulse buys" for me to pass up. It helps that I absolutely love the subgenre in general. Although, I do find a lot of the ones I pick up end up playing a lot like old school Legend of Zelda or Mega Man games. Sometimes the...
