dr. b 492 Posted June 5, 2019 http://genesismini.sega.com/ Not sure if this thing has been discussed here, but the Genesis Mini is going to have a really solid list of games! Might have to buy one of these I was always a Nintendo kid, but I played Genesis games a fair bit at friends houses. Would be nice to see a few sports games in there though. NHL 94? World Series? Montana? I remember my friend had a pretty good boxing game for his Genesis. Holyfield, maybe... ISO Share this post Link to post
webhead 519 Posted June 6, 2019 One day I'll probably break down and get one of these things. I keep going back to "well my Shield can play these on an emulator just fine" and that generally causes me to close my wallet back up. I owned an SNES but my cousin @Farmatron had a Genesis and we played a lot (even traded systems once... That was cool as shit). ISO Share this post Link to post

dr. b 492 Posted June 13, 2019 That's kinda nifty. Depending on price and the final list of games, I'd maybe grab one. It's a system I was always curious about but never had access to. And it's definitely not something I'd try to get into collecting now. One of these mini systems - if it has a good selection of games - would be ideal. ISO Share this post Link to post

MT 915 Posted June 26, 2019 Switch version of Bloodstained sucks, so I pirated the PC version. That's the last game I support on Kickstarter. ISO Share this post Link to post
dr. b 492 Posted June 26, 2019 I was just reading some stuff about the Switch version. Sounds very bad indeed ISO Share this post Link to post
webhead 519 Posted June 26, 2019 Yeah, I'm done with Kickstarter. I'm hoping to get someone over at Fangamer or maybe the devs themselves to just give me a fucking Steam key while I wait for them to unfuck the Switch version. Quite frankly, we all know it's free to generate Steam keys and it's the least they could do for Switch backers since they were completely fucking silent on what a piece of shit that version was long after it was too late to switch to another platform.

Galeigh 308 Posted July 3, 2019 The kickstarter was obviously not enough money based on the history of the game series and current estimated budgets of development. The skipping of a stretch goal is a symptom of this. That and the dev has been sketchy as fuck on details. Dude is a flake and terrible with money, all the signs were there long before the epic store deal rolled out. (repeated delays and weak excuses for them to hide the fact the game is likely incomplete and buggy af) ISO Share this post Link to post

(repeated delays and weak excuses for them to hide the fact the game is likely incomplete and buggy af) That sounds more like you're implying that epic store exclusivity was a good thing for an already backed 3 years prior project that listed steam keys as pledge rewards. If there was any altruism whatsoever they wouldn't have made it exclusive. Apparently though, Epic and Deep Silver love fucking gamers out of choice and woukd rather strong arm them out of the platform of their choice so they can make extra money. Fucking piss weak. Now Ghostbusters HD is Epic exclusive and even worse, Telltale Remastered collections are going epic exclusive too which sets a shitty precedent. Now remasters going store exclusive potentially means those who already bought and supported games in the past won't get free or discounted upgrades. Tim Sweeney isn't improving the games industry. He is improving his wallet and fucking people out of choice, plain and simple. ISO Share this post Link to post

Mera'din 307 Posted July 7, 2019 Whether they had enough funding from the Kickstarter or not, the game was ALSO being financially backed by Shibuya Productions AND Sony and has for years. If they seriously need more than that for what's being presented and it's not just pure greed at this point (or even if it is), then I'm glad I never cared about this series at all. >_> 1 ISO Share this post Link to post

I just never played it or even know what it's about. I only know it's a cult hit so if this happened with a game series I loved, I'd be fucking pissed. Still, you are so right with what you said. I'm over this bullshit. All Epic did was ring console wars to PC and this shit is just as annoying as when Skyrim had timed exclusivity on Xbox 360. Super lame. Moreso because fucking over project backers is unforgivable IMO ISO Share this post Link to post
Mera'din 307 Posted July 8, 2019 Apparently Epic is offering refunds to Kickstarter backers who don't want it through them, so that's SOMETHING at least. ? Very specifically, THEY are paying for it so it doesn't deprive the dev. of funding for the game. They also said that if this happens again (read: WHEN it happens again) they will either attempt to coordinate with other storefronts so that keys will still be available to those who backed said game, or will offer the same refund deal. Seems like they're doing a lot of extra work and bending over backwords while chucking giants wads of cash at everything when all they really need to do is not make their service fucking awful so that people might actually WANT to use it? >_> ISO Share this post Link to post
webhead 519 Posted July 9, 2019 Yeah they seem to have a lot of money to do everything except improve their fucking launcher. Their development timeline is already missing tons of shit and it seems like they've got like one college grad coding all this right now with her pace they're going at. It's fucking stupid. If I was into Shenmue I'd probably just choose a PS4 copy at this point. This whole thing fucking stinks. ISO Share this post Link to post

Mera'din 307 Posted August 3, 2019 I don't even know if that can be considered a LEAK. They flat out published the info on the site. With a link and everything. And then they had the nerve to call it a "website vulnerability". Even beyond that, the majority of the current problem lies in the fact that after they were notified of the issue (before the story was made public), all they did was remove remove the link on the site but DIDN'T FUCKING DELETE THE FILE so people who knew what to look for/how to look for it could still find it and download it. That's when the shit really hit the fan and the data got passed around. The ESA must get their knowledge of how the internet works from Nintendo. 1 ISO Share this post Link to post
