Except Cheetamen is sought after BECAUSE it's so [parasitic bomb].

the reason that games like this are expensive, is not only because they are rare, but because there is demand for them. people WANT to get their hands on these games, and since they are harder to find, rare, they prices skyrocket. otherwise you could find other rare games that just aren't worth that much because people arent interested in buying them.

If Legends 2 is expensive, it is because people really want to get their hands on a copy, particularly a new copy.

And with Legends 3, one can imagine that Legends 1 and 2 saw an increase in demand. Legends 1 isnt as rare, so it doesnt get so expensive. And people really just want Legends 2 a whole lot more.

Well... yes? The thing is, it still doesn't tell Capcom much about how high the demand for L3 would be.

That doesn't really mean anything considering huge pieces of [parasitic bomb] like Cheetahmen go for similarly high prices due to simply being rare.

What is this game exactly?

I don't want to waste space downloading it if i'm not interested.

I'll be able to tell you tomorrow after I've had some sleep and time to install the demo

Posted on: 2011-07-23, 00:12:15Right, played around for a bit
It's an over-the-head third person action rpg sort of thing, like zelda if zelda didnt have items that were used in totally different ways, and did have items you can equip to increase your stats, and also a fun magic system.
Simple but fun, and pretty challenging. I've died a few times on the first (demo) dungeon, and it was always because I [tornado fang]'d up rather than the game screwing me over or being unfair.

Also, it seems there's at least one secret treasure in every area - on the overworld map you can see "Clear!" next to an area if you've found it.

That last pic is incredible. Love the bright contrasting colours, darkened to a tone fitting for the X series' grimness.
It doesn't really look like anime though... and why are Zero & Iris smiling like that?

Every reviewer pretty much has said that it was lots harder than TP, which seems like an odd move from Nintendo if true. Difficulty setting I could see, but just plain making hard games? What about your casual sales?!

From what I've been told it's not nearly as kawaii uguu but also not as new and interesting as Recettear.

I'm too busy shooting stuff to stop and think about what weapons I could be using instead, and since the games are designed for buster-only to be POSSIBLE I never get shaken out of that state.

I don't know... on one hand,
>Canceling MML3.
>DMC5 is outsourced.
>Dead rising 2 was ok then they release a reskin of the same game for full price.
>Selling shitty RE5 minigames.
>Make a decent casual entry fighter(SSF4) then proceed to go too far and make the shitfest that's MvC3.
>No ace attorney games outside of japan.
>MH3 is best selling Wii game for weeks but capcom refuses to release more MH games because they expected more sales, IE they [tornado fang]'d up hard with their business plan.
>Literally every single developer that made games you knew and loved as a child has left capcom.

...on the other hand, they released Ghost Trick not even a year ago.

Gaming / Re: Official Nintendo 3DS Discussion Thread - Specs, Tech, Price? It's all here!

I wonder why the video quality is poor. 5Mb/s should be fine for low res video. Maybe they haven't worked out some bugs with the resizing the video. Or something in the system assumes a low res device only needs a low bitrate stream.

Either way, the 3DS should be perfectly capable of handling an HD quality QWVGA stream.

A BMP of the size 400x240 is 281KB. Assuming 60 Frames Per Second, a second of video would be 16860KB. That's 132Mb/s.

Isn't it because video uses UDP instead of TCP so if a packet with frame data doesn't arrive in time it's just completely dropped?

« on: July 16, 2011, 09:21:41 PM »

I don't think they'll END it, as in the canon story not allowing for more sequels, but they'll surely leave it to sleep like they did Breath of Fire if they don't think continuing is worth the cost.

Emulation / NSF files without the sound effects

« on: July 16, 2011, 09:12:36 PM »

I prefer using emulated music when possible for various reasons, and NSF files are no exception. Problem with those are that they tend to contain all the sound effects from their respective games as well, and with the player I managed to get for my brand new phone (android; player is DeadBeef) they clutter my playlist.
Very much a first-world problem, but does anyone know if it's possible to get rid of that part of the files or find somewhere that has the files as such?
