This is clearly how Microsoft feels about the XBOX ONE

"Ay yo, turn my mic up man
I don`t even know why motherfuckers is trying to touch this motherfucker
Niggas' pedegree ain't pure enough for this
Niggas you can't multitask nigga! Ya'll niggas can't multitask!
You know you can't do the remix without me
Don`t nobody talk shit like me bitch, check it out" - Diddy(MS)

Just looking for any fans who played either series of these games by Nihon Falcom. Also, would you guys highly recommend Ys Origins, Oath of Felghana or other recent Nihon Falcom that came out in English? I used to play Ys: The Ark of Naphistim like 7 years ago, but it's the only NF game I ever played and if I recall that battle system was pretty fun :D.

Hey guys, do you remember when Destructoid had a real-time chat room that was called "Outer Heaven"? Yeah, I remember it too. It kind of sucked at first but after a while (and after moderators finally dealt with some people) it actually became a pretty awesome place - only to have it abruptly killed when Dtoid launched their new site format, and it hasn't come back since.

Since smurfee mcgee has repeatedly mentioned I should just go to the forums more often, I'm making an Outer Heaven thread in the hopes of luring the old OH-goers here. C'mon people! Don't let Outer Heaven die! Michael Fassbender demands it!

Hey guys.

DISCLAIMER: I never actually finished Mass Effect 3. This post has Mass Effect 2 SPOILERS as well.

I have a self-enforced policy when it comes to RPGs; if I don't play it for a long, long time, I delete my save file and I start over again so that I can fully appreciate the story.

I recently bought a new Xbox, and my old hard drive is...somewhere. No idea where. Previously, I had started ME3 on my old Xbox, had it import the save from ME2, and then started using Cloud Saves.

This time when I started over, I didn't have my ME2 save file, so I started fresh. It asked me a few questions about who died in the first game, and then for the suicide mission, I picked "Numerous Deaths" (or something of the sort) because I wasn't sure which to go with.

On my first passthrough with ME3, I distinctly remember running in to Thane at Huerta (but I don't remember when). This time, that hasn't happened yet. I'm not sure if that's because I basically "told" the game that Thane died during the suicide mission or because I haven't triggered anything yet (my progress last time was roughly when Kaidan was still at Huerta deciding whether to accept his Spectre promotion).

I just feel a bit dim; the only person that died on the suicide mission for me was Zaeed. I know Mordin is supposed to play a big part in the third game (but I haven't seen him yet).

I just want to make sure I'm getting the full experience; any insight?

So recently I've been having a huge urge to stop by one of my cities flea markets. I love these things, they're like super garage sales. You can find seemingly anything in one. Personally I was going to go one in the near future with one of my friends to see if we could find any rare gems videogame-wise. But it got me thinking, I can't be the only one who loves this experience, shifting through pieces of someones life looking for that potential treasure. Surely these people have interesting stories to tell, or just want to brag about an awesome find.


So here's the deal; Post any awesome story, find or experience you guys have had an a flea market, garage sale, auction, etc. It could be about some interesting gent you met, some odd item you found, or whatever!

We just released our first trailer:
http://ljis17.com/media/


Last Jungle In Sector 17 is a top-view 2D action strategy game, taking place in open space. The goal of the game is to defend your base and survive the enemy assault. The player starts out with a single fighter craft which he controls with keyboard and mouse. As the events progress he also gains access to defense turrets, tactical structures, allied crafts and different upgrades.


So tell us what you think? Any advice would be welcomed :)

When I play SRPGs, I like to take my time, I don't usually rush for ranks or whatever, but in some games, consistently getting low scores can make later missions nearly impossible. Is Elven Legacy like this? Do I have to rush every map to get gold so I'm not screwed later, or can I just take my sweet time?

So I just found out today that the Ura Zelda Restoration Project has been cancelled for good this time. For anyone who hasn't been following this, I've been following this project for about the past two years now (although I think it's been going on much longer than that). It was the most ambition Zelda fan project anyone has ever attempted. Basically it was going to be what Miyamoto originally envisioned as the N64DD(DiscDrive) expansion to Ocarina of Time before it was cancelled due to N64DD's poor sales and lack of support in Japan.
I really wish I could show you guys how incredible this project was shaping up to be but unfortunately it's official YouTube channel, Zeth64, seems to have been removed along with all it's videos. As development went on, the project's ambition grew larger. It was going to be larger than Ocarina of time with an almost entirely redone overworld and completely new dungeons and bosses.

Judging from the concept art and content released by one of the project's members in this video you can see that they were even planning on incorporating a light/dark world element similar to Link To the Past pretty much doubling the games world on much more different and contrasting scale compared to the present/future element the original Ocarina of Time had.

All of the music was completely redone too. My favorite original track for this game has to be the Temple of Light theme at 10:02

This is truly a sad time. For years I had been anticipating this Zelda game far more than anything coming from Nintendo themselves. Considering how massive and ambitious this project was and how careful they had to be to not run into any legal problems with Nintendo, I suppose it was going to be cancelled sooner or later.

Hey!

I have been working on an app as part of my second year at Uni and would really appreciate it if you guys could take a look at the blog and tell me what you think so far. It is a news aggregation tool with the usual stuff. I have have just finished the first stage of Steam integration and it now knows your recently played games and will show you the latest news for them.

Yes dtoid is included!

So here is the Blog, please give it a look:

http://gamehubdev.blogspot.co.uk/]

Post your feedback an let me know if there is anything you want to see as the screenshots on the blog don't show everything.

Things to bear in mind:

- This is for a second year Uni project NOT for me to make millions of pounds/dollars/monies!
- I'm testing it on an iPhone as I don't own an Android or Windows phone but the intention is for it to be compatible on all three.
- I am doing everything independently, code, assets, design.
- This feedback will be included in the final project report

Thanks a lot!

I have no games!

I'll soon be able to get two 3DS games of my choice, however. Which ones should I order?

Hi fellow gamers! I’m currently doing a case study on “What entities in video games cause frustration”. I couldn’t think of a better place to ask than on forums. So my question is, name ONE element in video games that gets you the most frustrated! (e.g, Lag, Repetition, Bad A.I, Permanent Death, Waiting, Unsporting Teammates, Cheaters, Hard difficulty, etc…). Please also describe an example from a game you play that justifies the element you picked. Thanks.

I personally hate bad A.I. They totally ruin the immersion of a game. The worst A.I in a game is from ‘Mind Jack’. Almost all the A.I shoots at the floor, including the bosses!

So, I got a taste of the PC master race about two months ago when I bought an old (2006) gaming PC from a friend for $100. Played Skyrim, Just Cause 2 great; everything else, not so much. The PSU died, and since the mobo used DDR2 RAM, I decided to just go balls-deep and build a rig from the ground up.

I'm not looking to build a supercomputer, just something to play games like Far Cry 3, Tomb Raider, SKyrim, etc. on.

Here's what I got. Feel free to suggest cheaper alternatives, lol.

CPU
Mobo
RAM
Case
PSU
GPU

Thanks for (hopefully) helping me, guys!

I need your help.

I’ve wanted to write this blog about the cost of gaming across the world for a while (like we're talking years). I want to find out what it’s like to be gamer where you’re from and thought it would be really nice to keep it Destructoid specific since we’re a worldly bunch.
I’ve made a short survey (10 short questions) for volunteers to fill out (it can be anonymous if you prefer). I’ll compile the info and write a blog to give people an idea of ‘how the other half lives’.

I would especially love to hear from gamers that live outside of North America and the U.K. But all responses are appreciated.

The goal is to get as many countries as possible.

NOTE: I’m a malaria scientist, not a marketer. So none of this info is going to be sold to any organisations or anything dodgy like that. It’s just for a cblog. I’m pretty easy to find in real life so you can break my legs if you like.

You guys are stars <3

Hello Dtoiders, what are your favorite videogame vocal songs? Mine are those exaggerated, cheesy rock songs that come out of nowhere, like the Dragon's Dogma main menu theme or the boss battle themes from MGS Revengeance, along with harder sounding riffs like those of the Splatterhouse (2010) soundtrack and the old DMC games. Also, I'm quite fond of "Philistine" from NMH2 for some reason. What about you?

So often when I'm on a long drive my mind wanders and I think about how cool it would be if a developer I like took over another developers IP.

Like recently I've been thinking about how Hotline Miami is almost like a spiritual successor to Rockstar's Manhunt which would make Digital Devolver the perfect studio to take over the IP if Rockstar's not doing anything with it which they probably aren't.

I would also love for really any American studio to develop a Super Mario game if only to see a bunch of Nintendo fanboys have rage aneurysms.
