wonder what a bethesda-made pokemon game would be like

seems like would weirdly be a good fit

Skyrim with balls

Not impossible

just highly unlikely

Actually, why hasn't anyone made a Pokemon-like mod for Skyrim? Soul gems are already a thing, seems like it wouldn't be too hard to make a mode where you capture and release monsters from them.

Of course I haven't researched it in the slightest, for all I know there is something exactly like that.

I like turtles.

Having gotten a used SNES to play around with I find that I'm not doing much of the playing around because I didn't realize how pricey carts are. I think I might cut off the "region locking" measures so I can cut costs getting a Japanese copy of Super Metroid.

The retro game craze is really getting huge. I mean, everyone's a fucking collector now. There are half a dozen fairly sizable retro gaming stores in my town alone, and most of them opened within the past few years. It's nuts.

I even saw a guy online yesterday showing off his complete WII games collection. 1620 games! He said he already had 5 other complete collections for older systems. Crazy!

But that's why the carts are getting pricier.

Turtle

I like turtles.

Hitting up the smaller stores might have to be my next stop. Any Goodwill I see around. Maybe conventions at some point too? But yeah, not even holding my breath for some of the rarer games.

Is the japanese cart less expensive than the na one?

Turtle

I like turtles.

Seems to be consistently cheaper for SM at least. Not sure about across the board.

the problem is i just can't convince myself to buy games that i have no interest in ever playing. that's probably a good thing though ...

Yeah, it's one thing to own some rare games that you will never play but are a neat collector's item because not many people have them. It's another thing to own Ninjabread Man.

that game only has memory in my brain because when Egoraptor played it with Danny Sexbang, he talked about how in highschool he was touching dicks with another guy and showed off their boners

I fucking hate xbox so much. All I wanted to do is play Dark Souls and now we've spent the past three hours just trying to start the damn game. I've gone through so many fucking error messages, surfing online, restarting the console, reading shit trying to figure out wtf they're telling me because it's in their own version of english, etc. All I want to do is play a fucking video game. What happened to turning it on and pressing start, for fucks sake?

Shit. Why didn't you get it on PS3? :/ The Xbox 360 is a piece of shit.

One shall stand, one shall ball.

It's real great how consoles have managed to make playing a video game annoying. Even when it isn't shitting all over itself you gotta spend 20 minutes updating some nonsense for one reason or another and it's just like fuck, man, I don't use half this shit.

Isn't the 360 version supposed to be way better? Better frame rate and load times? Also for the future, if PC isn't an option at all, get the PS4 version of DS2 instead of PS3 (assuming you have/get one for Bloodborne). Scholar of the First Sin is basically the Master Quest to DS2's Ocarina of Time. I prefer original DS2, but the PS4 version is very close to PC in performance, and the PS3 version is awful, so it's well worth it.

What error message is it giving you?

Honestly, the PC versions of DS1 and DS2 are the way to go at this point. Especially DS1.

Because PS3 is disc only and I don't have the physical game and don't feel like hunting everywhere for it or waiting a long time for it to come in the mail.

Every time I tried to start up the game it would tell me that I had no multiplayer privileges and that I could only play in offline mode. We went back and forth with customer service over the phone only to learn that the xbox live gold membership is good for both of our gamertags on the xbox one, but only for one of us on the 360, which is fucking ridiculous. So in order to play on the 360 I have to either purchase a second gold membership or sign on as my sweetie. I opted for the latter, but I get disconnected from the server every 5 minutes and the game reboots. Fucking hell.

Serris

So you could play it, but just offline? I got the impression you were playing DeS purely solo, so you're not missing out on anything playing offline unless you want the multiplayer this time.

Yes, i could play it offline, but I honestly have no clue if it even matters if I play online or offline, so I aimed for online just in case it mattered, but now it's a huge headache. If it really doesn't matter, then I might as well just start the whole game over on my account.

Also, is there no way to view a digital manual of a downloaded game on xbox 360? I googled it and apparently I'm the only person on the planet who can't figure it out because nobody else has asked.

I fucking hate xbox. There's no way for me to hold the controller with my fingers on the RB/LB and the RT/LT at the same time without dropping the fucking controller all the time. Worst controller ever made.
