I never could get the buddy list to work... Not sure if they fixed it or not.   I like playing Zynga poker... only get to play it here any there anymore.   

Who else plays?    I wonder if it's possible to now get into a game with a friend.  A co-worker and I tried for the longest time... but the buddy list wasn't working. You had to stumble across someone to add them (IE as if they were at the same table)... you wouldn't be able to find them otherwise.

If you play... post up.  Maybe we can try to play some poker at some point.

bumping this... thinking of moving to the PC section instead of under PUBG.

Join up on our Discord Channel - we have a few members in Discord right now.

Not much activity there... do you see it where we should leave it out where it is? Post it up.

Please see 1st post - I updated and will update there what I'm working on under the bold and highlighted text.

Please continue to post more here you want to see.  The ones in my 1st post have my visibility.  If more are desired: Discord, Google whatever, Instagram, Twitter, Twitch...etc...  Post it up and I will add above.  Don't want to get too crazy but we will do whatever is good and current.

A couple of years ago I stumbled across a free private PSO server called Ephinea. There are a few main private servers and this is one of them, but I really enjoyed the community there and they strive to keep the game vanilla with a few quality-of-life upgrades here and there.

Welcome to check it out! It's Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst so it's Episode 1, 2, and 4. They've created a ton of side quests and quest bonuses to keep things interesting. Let me know if you're thinking of joining and I'll definitely hop on to play and help out.

MM... create a topic in PC about this... maybe we can get more to it.  Also, If you want PUBG play... create it's own topic in the Multiplayer thread.  I'm sure we can get some people going on it.


@Target - No problem.  Maybe we can try tonight... but not sure I'll be available yet.   I want to get D3 going... it's been a long time.  fun game.

I'm not the greatest either... I Thought it would be cool if we could share and play each other's levels and such.   IE If someone finishes one up... they could get it critiqued here or just post to share.

That's a bummer your Wii U broke.  IT's still a fun system to play.

and Creating something in Console/Handheld called "SNK - Everything Neo Geo."  This would be to discus Neo geo CD, AES, MVS, Pocket Color, and 64.

Thoughts?  If it's too much... then we don't need to do it.  Just thought it would be cool

* Note: This is a sub conversation of our retro category conversation.  Don't want to clutter that up right now and derail with this topic.

Mm. Get some people going on pubg. That sounds like a great idea. 

Up for d3 tonight target? I might have same time 9pmish est.

I was just at Beat Buy and noticed Super Bomberman R for the Nintendo switch.  It was $40 so I didn't walk away with it today. 

Anyone played it?  Is it good?  I'm a pretty big bomberman fan since Super Bomberman on the Super Nintendo.  I saw this for the Switch.... and was thinking how awesome it would be if we could get a few of us to get bomberman gaming sessions moving

Lol. Not any more my friend.  Not anymore. 


The trend has even made it to the elderly.

Come on target... even grandma is doing it. 

Lol

Will there be a PS Vita Successor?   Will Sony Ever enter the handheld market again?/

I personally dig my Playstation Vita.  I've played it quite a bit... PSN integration is done very well with trophies, messaging and all.  In fact, I like the format, design and layout.

Personally, I hope Sony decides to release something else.   I think Handhelds are the way of the future... at least very portable systems.   The Switch in my opinion is the future.  In manufacturing, we now run much smaller systems (fanless machines - super small terminals).  I'll create a topic on this later.

Post it up!

I started up my Phantasy STar ONline account with MAster Mario lol... and he gave me some money.

Haven't done much outside that in PSOBB... yet.

Sounds like We need a digital Distribution topic! 


Keep posting up your switch thoughts.

According to a rumor or what not... Dark Souls Remastered  - Switch - will be running on the Dark Souls 3 Engine:

Dark Souls Rumor - Running on Dark Souls 3 Engine - Resetera.com

Not sure how much to read into the rumor or if that's confirmed yet.

Coming out in May - Dark Souls for the Nintendo Switch.  From what I read, it's a port... but for some reason, I'm still very excited for this game.

Dark Souls - Nintendo Swith - Amazon.com

I'm still looking ... anyone know who's responsible for the port?

What do you think about it coming out on the switch?  Are you excited for this game?

yeah... I hear you .  I have a nice set of Logitech speakers with massive subwoofer.  IT does the job for the room... extraordinarily well.

Let me know if you dig them.

Been looking for something that fits right... these are good but trying to decide.

There is the recent promise to do more first party games. I hope it turns out to be a similar promise that Sony has made. But I think Sony has seen the effect that it has had on the success of their system. More single player story driven games. I can get into a good story driven game and I compare that to a good book.  i wish to see the same type of support that the 360 had, good library.

That is true... it is very much like a good book.  The visuals happen on screen instead of your head.   If you don't see it play out in your mind while your reading... you're not doing it right 

I thought the 360 was alright... very good for games like Gears of War and Halo...  but most other games I tended to buy on the PC.   I was super excited to see Gears of War was getting a Windows 10 release... but became sad when I found out I had to have an XBOX LIVE membership to play online... and for other features.

Gears of War,  Halo, and more... PAnzer needs to show up on the PS4 though.  I want that game there

I get what your co-worker is saying.  It has impacted me more in recent times.  Not for graphics sake... but they are FINALLY more interactive to the point where it is important to see what's on screen.  However, this doesn't mean all retro games "have bad graphics"... that's not what I'm saying.  If you have grainy graphics in the games of today... you will miss certain objectives.   Graphics where physics are involved (environment effects... even down to rain drops) impact the mood of the games. 

Graphics for graphics sake are punished by the gamers of today though.  From what I've seen, you can have a classic 2D or Classic 3D style game do well.  The Indie market thrives on Steam.  Many gamers look towards these games... but Graphics for graphics sake are really left behind.   Gamers are more fickle too.. if the game doesn't have EVERYTHING THEY WANT... they will not spend time (waste time in their eyes) on it.   That's not necessarily a bad place to be though... why? we only have so much time on Earth.

There are games I used to love... but it's hard to go back.  I will say it's due to gameplay more-so than graphics though. Your co-worker not going back to PS3 games is very extreme.  Ps3 games (visually and gameplay wise) HAVE NOT deprecated that much.  It's not like the N64 to Gamecube... or Saturn / PS1 to Ps2 jump we saw.  Playstation 3 still looks pretty good.

LOL!
Nothing else to say on this topic?

Release Date appears to STILL be March 16th.  I will have it 1st day... and let me know if anyone else has this game.

Heck... maybe I can take the day off.  I need some good BV time.  Been too much adulting and work lately.

The Friends Codes topic.  Post up your friend's codes and they will be added to this list.

I have a several levels... we don't really create them often anymore... but might start up again. Super Mario Maker is a very fun game.   There are features they could add for Super Mario Maker 2... but plenty are offered in Super Mario Maker for now.   The most annoying this are the troll levels in Expert that tend to pop up... and those levels where you must hold right immediately or you can forget about beating the level.

Do you have levels published?  I've been thinking about creating something around here for when members create levels.  They could be shared up via post in a certain board... or something like that.

Thoughts?  Post it up!

They aren't free like on Xbox?  What do you mean?

I'm definitely not ok with Paying for online... but it doesn't seem like we have much of a choice anymore.  So far, the Playstation 4 has been a pretty good console.  It started off a bit slow but is now gaining steam in the titles offered.

Well... this game arrived and........

I haven't it yet LOL.  I hope to try it out tonight!  If tomorrow.   

But I don't want to adult anymore...

If you haven't seen Korra , you should check it out.  I like the humor much better in The Last Airbender and like it better overall.   Korra is much darker and more for older audiences... a must seen though and it is well done.

Excellent post retro.   

I love Bangai o and son and punishment.  I have them both... also sin and punishment was released on the wii virtual console... of course it was a must buy.  If anyone hasn't played sin and punishment - please look for it in the virtual console section on Nintendo. I don't know if it's there for the switch or not yet.

The transformers game looks interesting. I need to review it a bit more.  Thank you for showing it... didn't know it exists!

Rakuga kids looks very interesting. And I agree... developers should've tried more 2d games on the Nintendo 64.

Star soldier... I bought the us release and loaned my cart to someone.  I forgot who.... never got it back.

It really does.  Looks like midway ported it for Atari. 

It's stated that both games were released in October 1997 and Mace the Dark Age was the "clone" of a game.  However for either to clone... it would've had to have been at the arcade level due to release dates.

Yeah... it really did.

Now I think I remember...They remade panzer for he Xbox, right?

They are probably due to remake/ remaster the game again.  With..... trophies / achievements.

Haha... I know what you mean. I did the same thing with one of the science Channels a couple months back.

I think I'm going to fully learn that solo.   Awesome solo.

maybe we should put up a new board under general for general media and news.  I guess general discussion could be for that too lol
