Okay, I had a spare 1000 point card that I was considering spending on Ogre Battle but then Shantae happened.

I doubt it, most publishers are going to enter that portable gen in the "Sony lost before, they'll lose again" mindset, especially since the sales failure of the PSP was mostly on the software side, the hardware did move after all.

If Activision keeps cutting away franchises and developers they may end up cutting their Activision part entirely and being just Blizzard...

General Gaming / LG vs Sony
« on: February 10, 2011, 10:39:58 AM »
Yeah, LG demanded that the PS3 be banned. That's standard practice in patent lawsuit, EVERYBODY enters a patent lawsuit demanding a ban, they never get one. It's just a pressure method. Trust me, it's going to be settled with a licensing agreement.

I'm kinda interested in Ogre Battle now but I don't really play such lengthy games much outside of portables.

« on: February 09, 2011, 01:11:54 PM »Nintendogs sold very well, yes, but is there evidence that it was a system seller?
We can point at correlation but outside of anecdotes I think it'll be hard to prove causation.

General Gaming / Re: Sony getting hit Hard lately
« on: February 09, 2011, 12:49:20 PM »QuoteLG claims Sony is infringing four of its patents in a complaint that broadly relates to "certain electronic devices having a Blu-Ray Disc player and components thereof"
What the **** sort of retarded patent is that? Sony invented Blu-Ray! Isn't any Blu-Ray Disc player going to be an electronic device? Or is the patent on something that is a Blu-Ray player plus some other electronic device in one? You might as well have a patent on "automobiles that are blue in colour."
Who works in the US Patent Office? Due to some of the utterly ridiculous patents, particularly software patents, you figure that those running the place are a bunch of geezers confused by those new-fangled computer gadgets. We're talking about inventions so I think the people calling the shots have to be up-to-date and informed with technology and science. You wouldn't grab some random bozo off the street and assign him to the Supreme Court. Yet the Patent Office seems to be run that way.
The USPTO is overwhelmed with applications and pressured to just rubberstamp everything.
It's possible that LG has a patent on something that was used in creating BluRay, they might have a claim on all BluRay things. However these cases always get resolved with a licensing deal.
But wait...there's more!
Sony is demanding that Google turns over the IP address of anyone who has replied to any of George Hotz's videos on YouTube - this is complete horse ****. I hope LG wins their lawsuit.
I don't think Sony has that legal right, if they do that means the law is broken. Tracking down commenters like that would enable freedom of speech violations on a MASSIVE scale.

I think that could be an improvement, both have their strengths but both have weaknesses too. For example Dynasty Warriors could use a major gameplay makeover.

That Catrap game is on most too-many-in-one pirate carts for the GB IIRC. I think my cart called it Pit Boy.

Next time give a GMT offset for your timezone, most people don't know what EST is. It's -5, for reference.
I'm bowing out, 1 at night is too late for my tastes.

I don't buy HD games at the full 70€ ($90) MSRP, the closest I've come were games for 55€ ($70), the early discount some places put on there. And the only ones I bought at that price were Brütal Legend and Vanquish.

I was EIGHT.
Yeah, me too. Maybe in Kindergarten you could have stumped me with that but I've been playing Katakis ever since we got that second hand C64 and upgraded to genuine R-Type and Nemesis once I had the Game Boy.

What Sony will have to make sure is that the system is more than just a port receiver for PS3 games. That didn't work for the PSP either.
