Yeah, I admit I did forget about that. Also some games let splitscreen team multiplayer, where you could have a local team that could play online against other teams. These forms of multiplayer will be missed and hopefully won’t be done away with forever.

but can it play batman?

Hear, hear! I’ve been reading about this today and it’s really rubbed me the wrong way how different gaming sites are quick to label with all the crimes of GamerGate...

I think others are wrong in saying you should “get a real job” and crap like that, but I also feel you’re wrong in blaming Adblock.... or at least focusing your blame on it.

so you’re saying if I bought you some Chinese food and gave it to you for free, let you eat it all, then show you video of me shitting in everything you just ate, you’re saying you wouldn’t complain, right? you can’t think of any situation people might be justified complaining despite having paid nothing?

were you born yesterday? Steam has existed for years. it was vastly different in it’s early days

most people don’t like that version because of how the controls are mapped. reversing controls in my head was never a problem, so it didn’t bother me.

I think you’re confused. If you purchase something on a 360, you can download that same content on another 360 if you log into your account.

PT isn’t a game. People seem to miss that. It was a haunted house designed to tease a future game. It doesn’t even count as a demo.

“I’m SO hopeful for P.T. to give birth to a new era of Silent Hill because I love the premise and ideas behind it.

clearly they’ve changed it since I last played. still not that simple when you consider the alternative system used by the competition.

Your list is kind of embarrassing to read. Most the games in it use cliches and jump-scares. I think if System Shock 2 isn’t scary you’re playing it on easy mode and/or cheating. What makes SS2 so frightening is the brutal struggle to survive. The enemies are overpowering and will seek you out if you’re spotted. It’s…

splitscreen is great because you can watch the other players then use that too your advantage.... of course, because of that, it’s more fair when each person has their own TV. it also provides more of a challenge that way too (unless you sucked at watching your opponent’s screen but they were good at watching yours).

it’s the copy-protection on DVD’s. it’s been a while since I messed around with any of that, but IIRC there is some encryption that you have to bypass if you want to access the video files without affecting their quality. basically bypassing copy protection is itself a crime, despite the legality of making backups.

I just downloaded Leawo Blu-ray Player. It’s free from what I can tell. I’ve had no problem with it playing movies. No weird work arounds required to get things running like many other free players.

When did that happen? What’s the process like?

I think it varies depending on the reviewer, but for the most part I’d say they’re not. Even though I watch a few of them from time to time (Phelous and Lupa left and make videos on their own site now), they really seem to push the limits of what Fair Use is supposed to do. It rubs me the wrong way when Doug talks…

Vampire Killer for the MSX? Castlevania had exploration right from the beginning. The series had both an exploration based entry and a linear entry released within days of one another. Castlevania has always dabbled in both styles.

you’re forgetting Vampire Killer for the MSX which came out within days of the NES Castlevania.

diminishes Metroid? they both made the same sort of game around the same time. people usually cite Castlevania 2, but Castlevania had another more open world Castlevania title before that called Vampire Killer on the MSX. they came out within months, meaning they were developed at the same time.
