  1. The game had fucked my mind, perception and reasoning skills to the point of nonexistence during Episode 7. Never been good at solving mysteries and I'd given up on doing anything by that point. I congratulate you two for being able to make deductions and reasoning in that point
  2. http://www.cemetech.net/programs/index.php?mode=file&id=975 TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition is a graphing calculator. Somebody ported Steins; Gate 8bit on this. Goodbye math grade Screenshots:
  3. The scariest movie I've watched is My Little Mermaid. Oh the horror... I still have nightmares
  4. I have a DRM-free setup and patch file for System Shock 2. Anyone that wants to try System Shock 2 can send me a PM, I'll try to send them a copy!
  5. No. If you want horror to that degree, Amnesia: A Dark Descent is recommended. System Shock 2 definitely is creepy. I've never played a game that made me scream, but keep in mind I have never played Silent Hill or Resident Evil or whatever
  6. Play Half Life 2's Ravenholm, preferably only with Gravity Gun. Dead Space, possibly Bioshock, for games. System Shock 2, highly recommended. As for VN's, I'll nominate Umineko.
  7. But do those license fees justify paying 33% more for each game? For example, Steam has regional pricing too, but the difference isn't that drastic. i.e. Bioshock is $20, and that's converted as £13 to the UK store.
  8. As someone that has owned Nintendo handhelds since childhood, (starting from 10 years ago when I got a GBA in preschool) it feels like as a European customer that Nintendo's trying everything it can to make me decide to never buy a Nintendo product ever again. Let's start with the obvious issues first. REGION LOCK. Why the hell do you still use region lock? Nobody else does. PS3 didn't. X360 didn't. PS4 doesn't, nor does XB1. So why the hell, Nintendo? Why is it that you keep doing the least customer-friendly things you can? REGIONAL PRICING. Setting possible reasons against greed and one other reason I'll emphasize later, what benefit does this have except pissing off a particular group of customers(in this case, Europeans)? What you can get for $45 on a US 3DS is being sold for €45 in Europe, with no given reason whatsoever. Let's say(for the sake of the argument) that digital purchases are affected by import taxes, license fees and such. However, does that justify paying so much more for each purchase? Steam has regional pricing too, but it doesn't convert everything 1-to-1. Nintendo makes Europeans pay 10$-15$ more for each purchase, which means that Americans can buy four full priced 3DS games for the same money Europeans can use to purchase only three. Nothing justifies that, Nintendo. NOTHING. Now let's move on to relatively small annoyances. ESHOP. I have never seen such an archaic and counter-intuitive application before. Long waiting times just to enter the Store, and after that, the store almost tries to make you not purchase anything: It makes you add funds first, getting around and finding new games to play is very difficult. DEMO PLAY COUNT. "Demo" is short for "demonstration". It's something you give for free, but you act like you are an almighty god that just blesses a small glimpse of that wonderful, wonderful masterpiece of a game on us pathetic mortals. Oh, wait. You don't even give demos for your own games. It's for free, god damn it. It's not like people will be more inclined to buy a game because the play count of the demo has finished... Demos exist to be a free version of the full game to show what the game is, what it is about, and how it is played. That's done in two different ways: 1) You release a limited portion of the software (One playable character, only three levels, etc.) 2) You grant temporary access to the full software (1-hour trial, limited play count, etc.) You don't do both at once. That restricts the demo too much for it to be effective, and might kill the enthusiasm of the potential consumer. And now... for the reason Nintendo gets away with all this. The fanbase. It's as simple as that. Nintendo fanbase (at least a very vocal and/or a major part of it) never criticizes Nintendo's business practices, and gladly hands over its wallet (and occasionally, mostly in Europe, its anus), never says anything. Never objects. Never questions why it is paying more for the exact same game just because it lives in a different region. Whatever Nintendo does in business side, as long at it has its Pokemons and Marios and Zeldas, it never receives any substantial backlash. It's pathetic. Really pathetic. The only thing more pathetic about this whole issue is the feedback of the fanbase.
  9. I don't have the money (nor desire) to shell out $75 for this game, and I really hate the demo play limitation now. It's quite fun. However, Nintendo's systems are too archaic (Demo limitation at this day and age) and its EU prices are simply unacceptable. Will probably wait for a sale on Playasia or something, if I ever decide to buy this game.
  10. 6/10... I guess the skeleton wants to "bone" her, huh?.. (Didn't get where the avatar was from so didn't really like it )
  11. Haven't read KS yet... *Gently whistle-walks the fuck away from this thread*
  12. Danganronpa 1 is finished, and oh hell finally Muv Luv Alternative might be starting to pay off. I continue my journey through international politics, mech battling and occasional (Muv Luv Unlimited/Alternative beginning spoilers)
  13. I am at the final pretrial of Danganronpa. Was a pretty enjoyable experience...
  14. Congrats Nosebleed!
  15. I watched the first chapter of Danganronpa 2 and holy cow tits that was amazing. (HUGE SPOILERS, guaranteed Chapter 1 spoilers)
  16. The problem is reading said text the first time. I am pretty much the polar opposite of people that wait for voiced lines to finish: I usually double click in VN's to make the text appear instantly and I get to the next line as soon as I read the current one. One could say I'm a hasty VN reader. I don't know about reading a second time. I think the issue isn't present in the testimonies though.
  17. Bought Ace Attorney Dual Destinies yesterday. Being unable to make the text appear instantly on the screen is really bugging me
  18. I've been feeling sick because I'm sick
  19. *obstinately observes*
  20. Who else's hyping for Binding Of Isaac Rebirth?
  21. I am still at Chapter 5 of Danganronpa, and episode 5 (I think) in Muv Luv Alternative. I'll probably go back to MLA only when I finish DR since MLA is like a more boring Unlimited so far.
  22. I'm actually playing the first with an emulator right now
  23. I don't have a game (nor a VN) nowadays that completely hooked me and/or I had time for, but I still manage to kill 3-5 hours in front of the computer everyday. Usually, I spent that time with video games.
  24. 9/10 I really like it for some reason
  25. Keep in mind that E17/999/VLR twists are "Eureka!.. HOLYSHITWHATTHEHELLOMG" moments. I love 999 and VLR especially. Umineko, however, is a 3-meter (both in length and in diameter) tentacle completely surrounded with barbed wire 15 times and constantly rapes your mind and by the end of Episode 8 leaves it writhing in terror on the floor. People love it.
