Keep Calm And Discuss Retro Generally!

Oh yeah. Had them try and tell me how great value the season pass was.

I told them I hate playing online and they asked if I liked the Uncharted multiplayer and I said I hated the Uncharted games and they seemed a bit aghast at that.

Never heard of OUYA. Read a very small amount about it there a minute ago.

Does it give you retro games? or controllers? My initial view of it is its nothing like the retron 5.

The retron 5 does tick a lot of boxes for me though I think.

The arguement of surely you wouldnt want the carts or controllers if space is a problem not true for me anyway.

I would like the carts and would far rather play with the original controllers.

I would also rather the consoles as well but fitting it under the telly which is where I would want it is just a hassle.

With the retron 5 it gives me loads of consoles and all I need is a controller for each which can be unravelled each time I change to a different console game. Games are stored in boxes or on the wall or wherever.

Anyway the more I think about it the more I'm sold on it for my situation.

Does anyone know where it'll be out or where I might get it? It might not get a European release I assume.

Last time i ever go to gamestop again.

Went to pick up the last of us and the manager behind the counter says have you anything to trade in and i said as usual no.
Then he goes off at me about you could of bought the last of us for a tenner if i traded in my games and i said i donti trade in my games because i like to keep them and i like to have a collection of games and he had the nerve to say back at me well i like money.


I left that place and even though i was foolish enough to over pay a extra fiver for the game i also had to listen to him say would i spend a extra 20 quid on a season pass.

In the end **** gamestop

The manager of the Galway branch is an arrogant dude! Never liked him myself. He always makes me feel like I'm doing him a great injustice by keeping the games I've bought.

Isn't there supposed to be really bad lag between the controller and console though?

Last of Us is pretty good. But suffers from the same problem I had with Bioshock Infinite. Good story and lovely world hampered by tiresome combat sections.

Story > Explore > Story > Obvious arena with lots of cover for tiresome stealth/combat > story > explore > story

And coming off the back of playing Dark Souls, the combat feels so terrible.

(In other news, Man of Steel sucks!)

I have to say, while the story is fairly standard stuff so far, the way it puts you right in there in the story is done very well and done in a way that couldn't be done with cinema. You can tell they've been paying attention a lot to what other games have been doing and really fine tuned it so it all flows more naturally than you'd normally be accustomed to in a game. A mistake a lot of these big AAA titles make is trying to be a movie, when they can actually be so much more by using the their medium to their advantage.

It really is a good step forward for gaming in those terms.
