The Video Game thread

The all star cast of Silent Hills gets another stud today as Del Taco reveals that Junji Ito was also on the project.

Thanks Konami

Aaaah, right in the feels.

Imagine the epicness...

finally bought a PS Vita a few days ago

..why the hell did these fly under the radar so much? i've had a 2DS since that came out (i like flat handhelds and 3D hurts my eyes) and even though there's some super fun games on 3DS it feels like a toy now. (Project Mirai DX fuckin' rules though)
anyone got any particular recommendations for it? i remember tons of people complaining when it came out about there being no good games but there's a ton now, especially since there's no region lock. i semi-purposely keep myself 2-3 years behind on video games in general because shit gets mega cheap and i feel like it's harder for stuff to seem 'dated' nowadays anyway. i mean most of the popular portable games are ports or remakes of N64 or PS2 games etc.

I love my Vita, it's totally my Metal Gear and Final Fantasy machine. I've got a couple Persona games that I never finished.

Just play Snake Eater over and over.

I bought a Vita to play Destiny remotely. Works pretty well, though the thumbsticks can be a challenge for aiming.

Otherwise, Shovel Knight is pretty good if you like platformers.

I may have to check out the games you listed.......since I don't really use it often.

Also have a 3DS, and while "toy-ish" I much prefer the games........MarioKart, Pokemon, Dr. Mario, Luigi's Mansion, Monster Hunter.............I tried street fighter, but I'm used to a fight stick on console.

Silent Hills is still a thing? I thought it was cancelled..

It is still cancelled, Del Toro was just lamenting the talent that would have been working on it.

Ah, I see

Anyone playing "Everybody's Gone to the Rapture?" A friend told me about it, and I have to say it sounds really interesting.

Almost finished building my PC (CPU coolers manuals that look like Ikea assembly instructions are evil things...). i7 6700k, GTX970, nice big SSD, etc. When everything adds up, that thing was super expensive but I'm kinda excited. I'll use it for game development stuff at home but games will obviously be played too .

I've been using PCs at work for ages but I've basically been a Mac laptop person for a long time, so this is my first home desktop PC since the end of the previous century I think. I reactivated the old Steam account I made years ago just to get Portal for free and I'm preparing myself for an avalanche of games that I won't have time to play (Steam name is the same as my name here).

Still playing MGSV, after like 140 hours I'm still at 65% somehow and It must be bugged or something.

Nice. Building PCs genuinely makes me happy, it's always so much fun. I just built one in March and I already would love to build a mini ITX rig.

PC Masterrace can still rot in burning hell though.

Agree with these things. I had a lot of fun building my PC. I worked on computers for quite some time but had never built one and installed all the OS/Drivers/bullshit from the ground up. Good times were had.

This is a beautiful, fascinating thing, and it gives me so much anxiety.

Yay, they stopped that b/s Deus Ex pre-order scheme they had going. Looking forward to Mankind Divided, I can still replay HR even now and Eidos seem to be fixing the issues from the previous game so I'm loving the idea or playing it to death.

EDIT:
Finished The Beginners Guide. It was alright, I guess.

NSFW: show

I worked out the twist, whooaaaaaaa

[chuckjaywalk]

I bought if a few weeks ago, played it for a couple of hours. Found it really boring and gave up.
