the first game i got hired to work on i was promised the lead role in a 1000+ page script. after months of unreturned emails i found the directors blog where he talked about how he was researching the setting (buying medals on ebay and fucking russian hookers constantly)

Wow, I didn't realize the development of Merry Gear Solid was so troubled!

Vagabond

then just buy the big games. i dont kno y i keep bothering with these shitty games when i can just get a guaranteed above average game aka im only going to buy halo 4 this holiday

ok some recent gaming shit...

id finsih mas efect 3 if the internet would shut the fuck up forever and now i dont feel like it

averdum escape from the pit - is bad and why would you play any game resembling this. 1/5dums

wanderlust rebirth - wtf is this, its from some guy who posts here? whoever you are, how did you make the controls so bad and why did you rip graphics from zelda. otherwise boring rpg shit 1/5dums

I think you just enjoy trashing these games. Because it's not like you don't know what you're getting into when you buy something like Wanderlust Rebirth.



"WTF it's an RPG with 2d pixel art based on Zelda sprites?! I got gypped! 1/5 dums!"

Or Spelunky. I wasn't surprised that you didn't like it, but why did you buy it knowing that it was going to be a platformer with randomized levels? I mean, other than to tell me you tried it once and then deleted it?

Same with Dark Souls. It's like... anyone could tell you you're not going to like these games.

I feel like you're just playing them so that you can try to hurt people. Is that true or am I missing something?

The US cover ripped off this movie poster:

You should link this shrine (http://shmups.com/guardianlegend/) or put up your own. I dunno, for completeness, since you own the domain!

Love fan sites like this. Much more fun than getting a Wikipedia entry or IGN/Giant Bomb page when you search for something (or god forbid, a "Planet" site).

Not the appropriate place for such a request.

O RLY?

Ages 16+ ... hmm...

Okay, so they have some sets for teens in high school. You're in your 30s. Take a good long look in the mirror, dude. /s

And this is assuming you're only buying the sets that are 16+!

Like what??

Well, the NES was generally targeted at a family audience. So I would say most of those had some emphasis on targeting children.

Uh yeah, and I was a child when I was a consumer of the NES. Hardly a good comparison!

These are children's toys, bra:

Really cute design/shape. I say make it darker in the middle and a little lighter around the edges. Just try it out and see what it looks like - it'll be a lot easier to tell what works/doesn't work once you have it filled in.

 

Looks fun, but putting SGnG and even Rastan next to their game really highlights how much worse their pixel art is.

You got cobras in the Black Market three times?! They don't even appear in the Jungle unless you break open a pot that has one.

I actually put in code to prevent the shopkeepers from aggro'ing if they get hit with cobra spit or snail bubbles, but the code fails when the cobra is right on top of him.

BUG REPORT:

Nortrodamas and I were playing co-op locally, where I died (squished by a boss spider) AFTER he entered the exit. The game locked up on the loading screen.

Yeah, that's a known issue and it'll be fixed in our first title update.

I love the G&G games. They're so distinctive in all these little ways that add up.

Anyway, I know I got the true ending on Genesis Ghouls & Ghosts once, so that version at least isn't too hard.

Sweet, thanks for linking that here!

Love you, Australia.

Sharks (Earthbound)
Leader: Frank Fly

"To tell you the truth, I like drinking tea and eating fresh fruit, but that doesn't fit my super cool image. I guess I just have to accept that about myself."

Onett punks that took over the local arcade and ride around on pogo sticks and skateboards. Definitely the coolest video game gang of all time and the one I would be most proud to be a member of.

Mad Gears (Final Fight)
Leader: Belger
http://capcom.wikia.com/wiki/Mad_Gear_Gang

"Why make your job difficult? Just let us do as we please like the mayor before you did."

The Mad Gears are a surprisingly open-minded gang, employing thugs from all walks of life, no matter the creed or color. They're kind of like the YMCA of Metro City crime.

Tunnel Snakes (Fallout 3)
Leader: Butch DeLoria
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Tunnel_Snakes

"Tunnel Snakes rule!"

This gang and its nature was summed up best by "Cort B" on Yahoo! Answers three years ago:

The tunnel Snakes are a gang from fallout 3 and the reason the are called the tunnel snakes is because the tunnel snakes are a vault gang and the word "tunnel" is refering to vault 101.They first formed in vault 101 but butch(gang leader) goes out into the wasteland if you do the quest were you go back into vault 101(only if you havn't killed Butch yet can he become your follower).The Saying "Tunnel Snakes Rule" is just something that Butch walks around vault 101 saying.He says it because he thinks the tunnel snakes rule.

Yikes, well, we'll see... maybe I won't get cursed on my first outing? Ha ha... ha...

 

Oh my god, I actually killed the Capra Demon! Actually, my first instinct was to go on the right side, but I kept getting stuck on the columns. The strategy I developed that was somewhat successful was running forward a bit to bait his jump attack, rolling back to dodge it, and then stabbing the first dog. From there I'd block his close up attacks and try to run for it when I could.

But there are still so many things that can go wrong - in the end I do feel like I got pretty lucky.

And yeah, shoot - sucks about the merchant. Although I'm reading that you can buy absolution from a dude to unaggro the NPCs. Also, apparently that guy also sells purging stones for cheaper than the old woman.

I'm pretty sure they expected people to stab her their first time playing. Ouch.

Almost killed the Capra Demon, damn it! So fucking hard to get on those steps with the two dogs there getting in your way.
