Snesboy said: Your rig is pretty dope. Though my Ryzen 1700 is still kicking ass so I'll wait to upgrade. Handy enough with Ryzen all using socket AM4 you could be able to get yourself an upgrade with only changing the CPU and not needing to chuck out the board/ram this time around, jump from the 1700 > 3600x if you've got a 400/500 series chipset in your mobo and yeah... you'll...

If I want a free copy of San Andreas I'll check pirate bay for it, don't want more launchers. ...

Nintendo's New Fit Game (Ring Fit Adventure™)

in Nintendo Discussion 12 hours ago

Gotta say the box art looks interesting, using the ring to fire fireballs at enemies in your path, could we be seeing some form of AR or VR using the Switch system, it has me intrigued which is what Nintendo are great at doing before pillaging my wallet for money hah.[img]https://ringfitadventure.nintendo.com/assets/img/home/buy/packshot.png[/img] Side of the box is advertising "custom workout"...

super_etecoon said: I really hope this becomes enough of a success that SNL does a parody of it with sex positions or something random. It's a skit ready to happen. The thing is, that kinda main stream appearance of the device would be great for Nintendo in the long run, for every 100 people who laugh at it on SNL and think "that's a daft looking ring" there's gonna be 1 who...

Could this be called False Advertising?

Vodacixi said: Ganoncrotch said: I assumed 100% correct and the statement on the thing is still not untrue. It just so happens that if you buy the game with vouchers then you get no points to double because you've already gotten points for the purchase of the vouchers, they're not going to award points twice for the same single transaction of cash. No, you assumed...

The_Liquid_Laser said: Atari 2600, NES, SNES, and Genesis. Just put in the cartridge and start playing. The best startup sequence is not to have one at all. The whole startup sequence thing started when disks came around. They have slower load times, so they needed to give us an entertaining startup sequence, so that we didn't realize that we were actually...

RaptorChrist said: Ganoncrotch said: Even without knowing a word of this language, if I look at that it looks like it's saying "points with purchase x2" like I said, knowing the language of math I can tell you that 0 points x 2 = 0 points, that is not false advertising. False advertising, by definition, is the use of false or misleading information, and I think that's...

curl-6 said: Ganoncrotch said: Quite possible but the majority of PS3/360 titles were running at 720p up from the 480 of the Wii so they were still in the same region of pixels, but a ton of Switch titles right now are sub 1080p at 720/900p and I think the next gen machines are gonna be looking at pushing for 4k or 1440p at least in all titles, a dev wanting to create a game for...

curl-6 said: Ganoncrotch said: Aye, was thinking that as well, the Switch sold more than every other system combined... and that includes the nearly 20k 3DS's which are also Nintendo owned, the popularity of the Switch could really hamper titles going to the ps5/neXtBox imo because over the next 18 months the ps4/X1 are going to die down an awful lot while it seems that the Switch...

VAMatt said: I've not ever thought much about this. I'll have to kick it around some. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking it might be Sega Saturn. Though I don't think I'd vote for any XBox in the OP's poll, I do think its worth noting that I've always really liked the XB green color. When I fire up an Xbox and see that logo and the bright green color, my gaming senses get rolling, and my...
