Also, they were waaaaaaaaaaaaay too excited about Scrooge McDu-I mean Cranky Kong's cane gameplay. Granted if we hadn't gotten that DuckTales reboot it might not be as noticeable, but man they just used it in the same way this year.That buff Donkey Kong guy was maybe the most embarrassing thing I've ever witnessed and I've watched a guy tripping on gasoline piss and shit himself in the middle of a bank ATM lobby.
Also, those 2.95 hours they didn't show in that awkward compilation, mind numbingly boring.
That's the funny thing, I'm not even sure it's gotten much attention on reddit yet. At least, not on /games or /gaming (the latter is just a nostalgia/screenshot circlejerk anyway).Reddit being children? Reddit being children.
Did this need to be over an hour???Adam Sessler, TotalBiscuit and more discuss the clusterfuck brought on by Youtube's new policy:
I just read up on the controversy. She's just the fuckin' community manager. She has as much input in the design process as I would if I sent an email to Inafune.That's the funny thing, I'm not even sure it's gotten much attention on reddit yet.

Because consoles are ruining video games.Why do you have more respect for PC/Laptop users than Console users?

For emphasis.Because consoles are ruining video games.
This is basically how one of the Badge XP types worked in The World Ends With You, at least in the US. Since you'd never run into anybody playing the game, you'd have to leave the game in passerby mode overnight and hope you got enough "alien" encounters to give you the XP you needed to evolve some badges. This wasn't an issue in Japan because it's much easier to find people playing the game when virtually everyone takes public transportation.Bravely Default, Square-Enix's new RPG for 3DS, will have a system where if you keep your 3DS closed with the game running, it will award you with Sleep Points, which can be used to unleash big attacks, revive party members, etc. So the game is rewarding you for not playing.
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! There will also be an option in the 3DS eshop where you can purchase, with real money, potions that restore your Sleep Points instantly.
Wow, Squenix. I didn't think you could surprise me, but you did.
Definitely one of the side-benefits of taking the subway to work everyday.This is basically how one of the Badge XP types worked in The World Ends With You, at least in the US.

It's at least smarter microtransactioning than their mobile games, but it still comes across as shitty.Well leaving it in sleep mode would be easy enough, doing it while you let it charge or whatever.
Not terribly surprised about the microtransaction, as that's all over their mobile games.
So, tomorrow Metal Gear Rising goes on presale for 20 bucks for the PC version. By all accounts so far it's an incredible port that runs smoothly and looks fantastic.
This is the world we live in. The world where Capcom (DMC) and Konami (Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, which looks fucking incredible and now MGR) are putting out the best PC ports and where Infinity Ward and Ubisoft and EA are shitting the bed with half-assed buggy messes or unoptimized garbage or DRM ridden trash.
It's about time Youtube became acutely aware of just where there money comes from. They are going to have to work out some kind of deal with the big companies or just start ignoring them wholesale, because the content creators are kind and the big guys have already made it abundantly clear that they'd rather just make their own service to show their products.I've noticed some content makers have started moving off youtube, such as gamegrumps and Nathan Barnatt (AKA Kieth Apicary) starting to put their new content on polarisgo.com instead of youtube.
