So I saw that "insane" final boss fight. Gotta say it's just dripping in symbolism. What better way to ring in Metroid's 30th anniversary.

I am pretty much done with No Man's Sky and Hello Games in general. At this point I would actually pay money to have all the mining and crappy space dogfighting taken out of the game and have it be a pure walking simulator experience. There's just no fun at all here.

Plot twist, Nintendo is not doing the NX. The Playstation NEO is actually Sony buying out Nintendo.

No Man's Sky
Alright. It's finally here. Played for about two hours. First and foremost to answer the question of what exactly this game is.
This is a survival game first and an exploration game second. Expect to micromanage your inventory from the very beginning. Inventory slots are painfully limited. I managed to get a decent starter planet. No real hazards to worry about. I've already read of some harrowing experiences on people's first planets. Some minerals are in healthy supply. But other, specially the Plutonium needed to activate the Launch Thrusters every time you take off are much harder to get. Also, carbon for your life supply, zinc for something else, etc.
The first time you take off and you see other planets in your starter system is a really jaw dropping moment. That moment when you set off for a new planet really made the hair on my arms stand.
HUD elements are sometimes a bit too ambiguous. It might take you a while to figure out how to craft different items. I appreciate not even bothering with the training wheels but a little help is never bad. I keep getting "You have unredeemed items, to claim them please use the options menu" messages but I can't for the life of me figure out what items the game wants to give me. Also I've explored several planets but missed the way to scan flora or fauna. I've just been mining resources from it but not reaping the rewards of scanning them I guess. There's a lot of things the game doesn't tell you which could prove useful.
I like the game but I'm worried the gameplay loop is going to be extremely shallow. The planets have a bit of samey quality to them. I hope that the further I travel I really start to see more differences instead of different colored rocks.

General Chat / Re: Golden State Warriors (and other NBA teams, I guess) thread
« on: August 06, 2016, 10:55:46 PM »(and that Barnes and Ezeli both sucked ass in the times they were needed the most).
This cannot be emphasized more. Barnes wilted under the pressure to the point where he routinely passed up open jumpers and the ones he did take were painfully off the mark. Which betrays the fact that he had at least showed up on previous playoff series. This put more pressure on Iggy who was injured and Livingston who can really only give you 20 minutes at most on any given night.
Ezeli was more egregious. That Varejao played nearly as many minutes as he did during Game 7 shows how much Kerr had lost confidence in him.

Agreed. For a team that has had so much misery it's nice to get to talk about them blowing something that's actually meaningful just a year removed from winning a championship.
I'm wary of saying the T'Wolves are going to be fun to watch because I said the same last year and well...

---If you can't see the videos, remove the "s" from https on your address bar and try again---
Sure, teh b-ball doesn't get the love around these parts as other sports. We don't have our fearless leader talking about the Milwaukee Bucks on Twitter. Or get bonus segments on podcasts like hockey does. But who cares. This thread is all about celebrating our love for the roundball. Cue the music!
Even after losing a crushing 7 games series, and with their MVP/human cheat code Stephen Curry playing below his ungodly self during the Finals the Warriors are still far and away the favorite to win the 2016-17 NBA Championship. Not only do they boast the core of Curry, human microwave Klay Thompson, habitual nut puncher Draymond Green and all around old guy Andre Iguadola but they've made a few notable additions.
An MVP going to a fully stacked team seems unfair, but there's fair question to how Durant will mesh with the rest of the offense, and how shots will be distributed from now on. There's also the question of depth and avoiding injury. Also, we need centers. But never fear because...
We also have Zaza Pachulia! The man who's biggest claim to fame is the video above. In addition he was nearly voted to the All-Star game this year thanks to the votes from his home country of Georgia.
Need more reason to root for this super team? Well, you'll certainly love the hijinks of one JaVale Lindy McGee! Don't know who he is? Check out this "highlight" reel!
In addition to all that glorious talent we also have your usual assortment of unabashed ring chasers (David West), scrappy guys off the bench (Shaun Livingston, Anderson Varejao), scrubs (James Michael McAdoo, Ian Clark, Kevon Looney) and rookies who fell into a golden opportunity but will never play (Damian Jones, Patrick McCaw).
So what are you waiting for? Come join the hype train! Warriors always come out to play!

Zelnick said he doesn't think the guidance for the current fiscal year includes any contribution from the Nintendo NX platform, which Nintendo has said would launch right at the end of Take-Two's fiscal year in March 2017.

Is it that bad online? I heard a few stories, but Warriors 2k17!? LOL
Might as well give it an extra few months and go with next year's games at that point. Warriors 2k17 and WWE launch within like, two weeks of each other around the first part of October.
Stephen Curry (the human) is often described as a human cheat code. So yes. The Warriors in a video game are extremely OP.

I don't know. To me it makes more sense to unveil it before we get to the week before Black Friday madness.

Of course the Just Dance NX version is going to run better than the PS4 one...
Unlikely that it's Integra, and more likely they have nothing to say yet, and who knows when their fiscal ends, could be March 2017. Either way I would wait, it's just take two. I'm sure we'll hear more in the coming months.
Their fiscal year ends March 31. Still it's worrying to see they're not even bothering with a token NBA or WWE game.
