Support NeoGAF

[BlackRainbowFT]

I'm assuming they're all good ports? I haven't seen a ton of negativity.

Actually yes, except for one thing... if you're playing with a controller you'll get messages like "press J08"! Which isn't ideal with quick time events (really really rare and only used in mini-games or boosting Junctions or whatever they're called in English).

For VII there's a mod to actually display xbox buttons.
I couldn't find anything similar for VIII.

You also get cloud support and some sort of trainer.

 

[JaseC]

Are you kidding me? This mode is a pre-order exclusive only?

Just... what?

Something like that isn't going to be a pre-order bonus exclusively.

 

[Tecl0n]

mmm i'll wait to see if nuuvem has a deal for XIII before jumping in.

 

[JustinBB7]

Something like that isn't going to be a pre-order bonus exclusively.

Says on the page it's a pre-purchase offer.

Seems like a core game mechanic..

 

[littlegrasshopper]

GAFers do I get Lego Marvel Super Heroes or Lego The Hobbit... This decision is too hard to make all by myself.

 

[JaseC]

Says on the page it's a pre-purchase offer.

Of course it's going to be advertised as one in the here and now; Techland wants you to pre-order. The implication of exclusivity is intended to attract people like me who'd rather be safe than sorry.

I am saddened that FF13 is outselling FF4.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is a better game than The Hobbit

 

[jshackles]

I am saddened that FF13 is outselling FF4.

I'm not too surprised, considering:

• Final Fantasy XIII is cheaper than Final Fantasy IV
• Final Fantasy XIII has better graphics than Final Fantasy IV
• Final Fantasy XIII is newer than Final Fantasy IV (13 > 4)

It's sad, but that's the way these things work.

I am saddened that FF13 is outselling FF4.

They both came out of no where, and I think FF13 is getting more attention because it was more unexpected!

I might go for the 980, for xmas at least if it's not within my current budget. Rumor says $330 for GTX 970, $549 for GTX 980.

If USD$549 for the 980 proves to be accurate then I'll be opting for two non-ref 970s. $549 is $50 north of my limit ($499).

 

[Hero Prinny]

That's not the theme song. That's the song that plays at the very end of the game, just before the credits start rolling (although it was also used in some of the promotional material). It's also only in the Western release. And yeah, it's pretty bad.

If anything, this would be the main theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5_pyG9C4po

There are several variations of that melody played throughout the game, and of course it plays on the title screen.

Oh my bad

I might go for the 980, for xmas at least if it's not within my current budget. Rumor says $330 for GTX 970, $549 for GTX 980.

I hope those are real prices cause I so want to upgrade my 650ti to a 970

 

[salazar547]

quick question about something not so gaming related , should i upgrade from windows 7 to windows 8.1??

 

[d1rtn4p]

Fantasy 4X...Any thoughts on picking up Age of Wonders 3 vs Endless Legend? Or should I just stick with Fallen Enchantress?

 

[Grief.exe]

If USD$549 for the 980 proves to be accurate then I'll be opting for two non-ref 970s. $549 is $50 north of my limit ($499).

But that would be well north of your limit!

Isn't Tages dead in the water anyway? Last title I can remember with it was Anno 2070. SolidShield was the replacement for Tages and still crops up on games now and then but mainly retail disc stuff. At least you can revoke activations yourself manually with SolidShield where Tages is either rolling reactivations or you have to contact the licence holder.

As the resident W8 fan my answer is: Yes

 

[Thorgal]

Damn ff 13 at nr 1 on the top selling list .

The lightning thirst is real !

 

[Mono]

Let's port beg this

[ashecitism]

I assume he'd SLI the 980 too. That's why he said he'd buy the 295x for $1000 earlier.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Now, we must push for the true Final Fantasy game of last gen: Unreal Engine's own Lost Odyssey.

 

[Ozium]

Sorry but FF4 doesn't have Lightning, so obviously people are making the correct choice.

I was talking to Kanokare the other night about how this game w/ cards would be insane... Lightning Wallpapers.... think of the market prices for LIGHTNING stuff.

Also now that the Warrior Goddess is on Steam, surely Japanese Steam usage will increase by at least 1000%

You heard it here first, folks.

I don't know, but their website is top notch. I especially love the "Hackers' comments" and "Wrong statements" tabs, haha.

I've got three. Please stop.

does it work with the current discount? been on my wishlist for a while but so many fps roguelites in backlog already

edit: how is everyone getting these hoovy ballet coups?

Yay, now I don't have to buy Lightning Returns for PS3!

I'll probably end up buying this version XIII-2, too; FF Squeenix certainly has a way of convincing you to buy games you already own over and over again! :X I really hope they keep up the PC releases!

quick question about something not so gaming related , should i upgrade from windows 7 to windows 8.1??

at this point u should just wait for windows 9 release unless its urgent

"Can't be applied with other discounts."

 

[JaseC]

Per-card limit. USD$999 for two GPUs is as high as I want to go. My original plan was to upgrade in time for Unity but in all likelihood I'll put that off until after the Winter Sale... in part because I may not have the money in time, anyway, but mostly because games.

Super Heroes. no doubt about it.

I'd hang on until later this month as there's some strong rumours (and more importantly videos out there) about there being a Windows 9 announcement. I'll dig out a link or two but looks like the perfect marriage between 7 and 8.1.

Edit: Here you go, should have all the relevant rumoured info in there.

Hahah it won't even load the page in an iPad. Just get a solid purple screen.

If you can get it for cheap, then maybe. But Win9 is to be announced soon and might be coming soon so might wanna wait on that.

does the game run fine or is it badly optimised like DR3?

or are you not allowed to answer that

 

[Alien8]

Nuuvem has a Civilization franchise sale.

Civ V Brave New world is 11 R$ (~3,60 Eur or ~4,60 USD). If I'm not mistaken this is the cheapest it has ever been.



Edit: Oh! Gamersgate has another Civ franchise sale, but the prices are somewhat higher.

 

[JaseC]

Did you check VRAM usage while playing?

 

[Addnan]

Did you just compare a Crytek PC game to that thing.

 

[MUnited83]

He already said that it was badly optimised.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Nuuvem has a Civilization franchise sale.

Civ V Brave New world is 11 R$ (~3,60 Eur or ~4,60 USD). If I'm not mistaken this is the cheapest it has ever been.

so, if all i have is vanilla Civ V then i can get the 2 expansions for about $10? Is there anything i would be missing?

Oh wow really? I would not expect that from them

looks good , i guess i will just wait for now , thanks

 

[World SkiFree]

Sounds like everyone likes both Lego Marvel Super Heroes and Lego Batman 2. Which is considered the best of those two? Is it just a matter of preference in regards to the roster of playable characters (DC vs. Marvel), is the open world/hub aspects different, etc.?

You'll be missing a few maps and packs. If you want them, you should double dip and get the complete edition for ~$13

Eh, $10 was my sweet spot for a complete edition. Gonna keep on holding. Thanks for your input!

Did they lock Injustice? Every trader says they can't unlock it
