About fighting games on the wrong machine resulting in horrible controls, how about Street Fighter 2 on Amiga with a single button joystick?

RE4 is a game design masterpiece... unless you expect it to be what it is not. It is not a shooter (no strafing, no jumping, no crouching, no cover taking), it is an hybrid between an action game and a survival horror. The genius of it is two-fold. First, the somewhat restricted movement allows...

The problem with Tom Cruise is that you know a chunk of the money you pay to watch the movie goes to scientology. An even bigger chunk when he is also producing the movie (Jack Reacher, M:I Ghost Protocol). I don't think anyone is disputing his acting skills.

I just checked and as far as japanese gamers go (a least Famitsu readers who rate their all time favorite games), the top three FF are first X, second VII and third XII.

Doesn't these games have randomized dungeons?

I can't say I hateOcarina of Timeas I enjoyed the game, but always scratch my head when people wet their bed dreaming about it (Half Life 2falls into that category too). What I can say is that I hateMajora's Mask. It's sad because the theme and universe are very appealing, but I find the time...

What about rat poison at that halfway house and knife in her killing youth? The girl is not a serial killer with some sort of ritual, she is a murderer who is observant, resourceful and not dumb. Killing is not the end for her, like it is for Dexter, it's the mean to an end.

The director has been showered in awards with his previous two films too...

I played mostly games from my seemingly infinite backlog, but out of the 2012 things I played the stand out game wasJourney. Most original online implementation since Demon's Souls, generates an extremely broad spectrum of emotions, fluff free, supremely tight gameplay and gorgeous. Some design...

As a true euro hardcore gamer of the '90s, I played through the SNES Final Fantasies with the japanese originals (I know there were strong Japanese games import scenes in France and Germany too - was it anything like that in the US?). As it was in the pre-internet age, it was all about...

Deb doing highway stunts and then drinking her cool-aid is not a lot more stupid than Hannah noticing Deb drinks bottled water, sneaking into her house, noticing the anti-depressant and deciding to spike the water with the anti-depressant, hoping that, maybe, she will drink water before doing...

With all the board hoping I lost the post I made to wrap 2012 and tease 2013 Bah! The latest piece of news is that Federer launched ayoutube channelthat is broadcasting live his exhibition matches in south america. Three have been played already (Bellucci, Tsonga, Haas) but you can watch...

I played DQ1 for the first time something like four or five years ago. It was enjoyable and you could already see the ability of Y?ji Horii to summon a lot of fiction with very little. It should be said though that my enjoyment was certainly boosted by playing it on an emulator at 400% speed and...

There are many moments of pure groundbreaking genius in Another World / Out of this World, but it had many rough edges on the gameplay side of things that did not fly too well with it's unforgiving death system, especially as a present day gamer. A masterpiece nonetheless.

Pit Fighter on SNES. Uglier than sin and controls responding so poorly it makes people check if their controller is properly plugged in. To add insult to injury, the strength of the arcade version was the huge size of the sprites and on SNES they were ridiculously tiny.

I would say yes. It's almost 20 years old for one, it's french for two and both Caro and Jeunet fell off the movie enthusiast radar a while ago for three.

I shamelessly have yet to play it, butLone Survivoris an indie 2D survival-horror game that sits at 83 on metacritics. I think it was in one of the humble bundle?

The PS1 game was a pretty generic, a not very inspired nor inspiring 3D platformer, and when a PS2 sequel was announced, I remember reviewers going all Spyro crazy and it really surprised me. As far as I know the result was just as bland as the first too...

Aaaaaah you're right. I forgot about that.

Putting the did she or didn't she conundrum aside, did Dexter and Debra willingly put in jail a girl who knows Dexter is a serial killer?

There are many ways to understand that line. For me it meant: "If you stay on the straight and narrow, we will never have to meet face to face again."

Yeah it was cheap horror movie conventions right there. Something else sounded odd to me... from the CIA's point of view, their loony agent got in a car crash and disappeared, then their loony agent calls from out of town saying she has been kidnapped by Abu Nazir. The CIA people go there...

Still a work in progress, but you can already buy it and experience the beta:Proteus A kind of anti-game about the musical exploration of an island. Brilliant and very original.

It's by the director of Tron: Legacy on a screenplay he co-wrote based on a (yet to be published?) comic book he co-created... color me cautiously optimistic.

Two things: - Dragon's Lair at the time was indeed extremely impressive visually and kinda magical, but there was no illusion for anyone over 5 that it was a terrible terrible video game. You could not predict the result of your choices (so it was 99% trial, error and memorization) and there...

I see it.

I think they are going in the wrong direction. What they should have done is go to Microsoft and Sony and tell them their online store are total shit and that they should outsource them to Valve. I am pretty sure in all of two slides with some $$$ figures they can convince any bean counter. The...

You mean because it launched along with Steam or because of the content of the game itself?

One of the most improbable trio of heroes find a baby in a dumpster.... a Christmas miracle! A brilliant dramedy by the late Satoshi Kon:

We had something going pretty well on MoreNetz with a similar topic. The idea: shine a light on movies you enjoyed that might not be known by you fellow posters! Old and new, foreign or domestic, comedy or drama, everything is welcomed as long as you feel it's worth encouraging people to...

I saw the trailer yesterday and I am really really looking forward to it now. So that trailer added two solid reallies.

Fake people voting for a fake band should be legal!

Considering these "bands" did not manage to all wake up to vote for themselves nor ask a couple of their friends to do it too makes me wonder how many are actual bands and how many are fake entries by the organizers to make it look more fleshed out.

It was easier to vote than to look at the picture, so a vote has been cast.

Substituting just for a post spandex for gore-tex, there is a comic book moment that haunts me, so it seems this thread is fit for sharing it. It"s in Tanigushi"s Kamigami no Itadaki (Le sommet des Dieux in its french translation), a manga about mountain climbing. A journalist is trying to track...

I may have found a perfectly logical explanation for all of this.

If I understand Project Z correctly, it"s all different people voting once a day, so it does not exploit the voting system. Too bad for "bogus" votes...

In all fairness, about 600 guests are people brought to the FSR thread through digg or similar "link to cool stuff" portals.

She cleverly "gave up" the last time, just before doing a massive web offensive and beating the cousin on the finish line so...

I am pretty sure the vote figure is just from a conspiracy theory post made after the fail. I suspect their vote.asp code is half decent and discarded all of the votes made with masked or repeating IP. It just did that without notification. In the end, the countable votes were probably in the...
