Thread for Gamers 2: The Three Is A Lie

[Gristol-Serkonos]

I don't really participate in the trading cards portion of Steam.

Never got the point of it.

I just sell the cards I get.

[Warpspace]

Anyone see the video I posted on how Steam rigged the last steam sale to drive up the prices for their trading cards?

Yeah, it was a gimmick to get more money.

You know, like the whole fucking sale.

The difference is that Steam wasn't manipulating the market with the sale. However it is using trading cards as a giant sneaky gimmick in order to make a fuckton amount of money while manipulating the entire process and artificially driving up prices. It's the difference between normally trading stocks at the NYSE or specifically fixing the market to your whims... which is illegal as shit and for good reason.

So Orion Prelude is free for a weekend. So I'm downloading it.

I hope people still play it. At least one full server. :c.

Everyone but you knew that as it was going on.
Nobody cared then and nobody cares now.

A question with this Roccat mouse.

I just lost resistance on the scroll wheel, and with that, I lost my scroll up and down input on my mouse.

Odd, everything else is working though...

New 3DS, called the New 3DS

it's going to have exclusives made for it
they've added another analog stick and two new back buttons
despite this, they will be making games that are non-compatible with the old 3DS

As Nerd³ pointed out, "Can't wait till Nintendo go the full Apple and release a new version every fucking year. 2011 - 3DS. 2012 - 3DS XL. 2013 - 2DS. 2014 - New 3DS, New 3DS XL. OH WAIT."

ARMA III seems to have the best draw distance of any PC game apart from Serious Sam 3: BFE. I'm impressed.

The best part is is that unlike console games, ARMA III and Serious Sam 3: BFE actually incorporate their massive draw distances into their gameplay.

The difference being that this is the first time a minor update like this prevented backwards compatibility.

There were "DSi exclusives" but I only ever saw like two.

In all fairness, the 3DS is Nintendo's most profitable product.

This is how people get screwed into buying closed systems, but they never seem to learn.

[Bezombia]

I looked it up.
There's only four, and only three of them were released in NA.

Of course, no one should ever buy a New 3DS because it is manufactured by Foxconn.

clearly everyone should download them and 3d print them in protest

[Registug]

is there an emulator for the 3ds yet?

[Bezombia]

There is.

It can't play games very well, but the physical hardware emulation is apparently working, so stuff like homebrew 3DS apps can be run on it.

Am I the only one here who goes on Der Untergang-style rants when I make a silly mistake on XCOM mission that causes me to lose?

[The Rich Port]

I would prefer they leave S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. people.

And in Chernobyl...

But that could be cool, I guess.

I really wish they just made another S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game.

I hope its an open world metro game, that would be very cool. So many stations and tunnels to explore and then you add on the surface environment of Moscow and it would be awesome.

As much as I enjoy the atmosphere of Metro, I hate the setting.

Supernatural... Demon... Radioactive... Wasteland?

I don't know why, but it's somehow done far better in fucking S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

It's less "supernatural" and more "from another fucking dimension" and for some reason that's more scary.

I like both settings just as much, i like the supernatural side of things in Metro but also like the more science based side of things in Stalker. I think they are both done really well.

I disagree wholeheartedly. What's so great about Metro's setting compared to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?

It's a lot more atmospheric.
