is pillars of eternity any good or like wasteland 2 and so many others has kickstarter once again failed to return our youth and fill the emptiness inside

wasteland 2 is great, but pillars of eternity does look vaguely shitty.

It's like the first game Josh Sawyer directed by himself, and that's a pretty bad sign because Sawyer's kind of ridiculous.

People seem to really like it though, so I'm looking forward to giving it a try. I haven't really liked anything Obsidian has done in a long while, however, so that does temper my enthusiasm a bit.

Man can you even access Club Nintendo right now? I can't get past the login page.

[notbov]

Not only did I login to Club Nintendo and register my Smash U code, I did it on the 31st

It works, it's just slow

I've seen some converters that let you use Saturn controllers with a Dreamcast, but I have seen any that let you use dreamcast controllers with a Saturn. Do they exist. Are these sort of controller controllers actually worthwhile or do they have a bunch of input lag?

Geez, why would you want to? For Bomberman? It'd cost the same or less to just buy some cheap controllers, surely.

[Renfrew]

For arcade sticks actually. I've got a dreamcast stick with some modded Sanwa parts for fighting, and I'd like to get a second. Im also planning on modding some sticks with some seimitsu parts for shooting games. It would be nice if the two consoles could share and I didn't have to have four sticks for each.

[The Blueberry Hill]

Oh right. That makes plenty of sense.

[Renfrew]

Well, my dad is a great woodworker, so I guess I may as well rip out some controller guts and get him to help me build a few from scratch. Is there a limit on how many different controller parts I can put in there. Of course I definitely want Saturn and Dreamcast functionality, but if I could get 360 and Playstation in there as well that would be great.

If I'm hearing you correctly, you want each microswitch to connect to a different pad setup inside the stick and then have four cords coming out to different consoles? If that's the case, you might as well figure out a custom situation that outputs to variable controller converter. The optimal solution is a custom PCB that can connect to different controller PCBs that connect to the consoles themselves.

Ugh.

This is why I like emulation.

[Renfrew]

Thanks. It probably be best for me to find a nice step by step guide.

I bought a board from focus attack for making custom sticks that I think might be able to do that. I think it's called PS360-- its main claim is the ability to have a stick usable on ps3/x360/PC, but it also has a port for using custom breakout cables for legacy consoles.

[Ni Go Zero Ichi]

What's SB's general verdict on the Dead or Alive series? Which is the best one?

I've been playing the 3DS game a bit and I like how the gameplay doesn't hinge around convoluted, unintuitive control inputs like most tournament fighters. Also Team Ninja has some of the best 3D character animators in the industry, even post-Itagaki.

DOA2 was the only fighting game I could get other people to play way back when, by sheer fact that it's easy to understand and feels good to pick up and play. The titillation factor can't be denied, either, though that's going to vary from person to person.

I still load up DOA5 when I want some enjoyable punch-times without having to memorize a move list or deal with hyper-competitive horseshit.

I may be committed to building my own sticks at this point, but my question about controller converters still stands because I have one Saturn twin stick and one dreamcast twin stick.

anyone have one of those benq lagless monitors?? thoughts??

I've got a XL2420TE, an older model that's not made anymore. I like it, it's nice. I mostly got it because I use Nvidia GPUs and could take advantage of Lightboost (this makes it so the backlight strobes and gives smoother, more CRT-like motion while increasing input lag a tiny bit when your framerate meets your refresh rate). I've never really used it too much with consoles but it seemed legit, no apparent lag and decent looking (AFAIK, BenQ gaming displays are still TN panels and all the pros and cons they come with). I've loaded up Project Diva with no adjustment for display latency and played it fine a few times, played some Smash online with it and no problems.

if you need stuff to look fancy, you should be able to find a screen with an IPS panel and low input lag nowadays since that's the next avenue to push.

Does anyone here know if there's a difference between the ps3 and 360 versions of El Shaddai? I noticed a used copy for ps3 is 10$ but for 360 its 5$.

[dongle]

ps3 has lower framerate and looks slightly worse, but i prefer the ps3 controller.

[Mikey]

None that I can think of.

I played just a little bit, it seems alright but I don't have much patience anymore for learning made up goofy fantasy names and settings every new game

I've gotten to the point of installing it without having played it yet.

I saw that dhex (late of IC and essbee.net) has been playing it on Steam, so Ima ask him for his take thus far.

[jodeaux]

I own both Memories of Celceta and The Oath in Felghana. Which one do you think has more of an "ys" type of feel? I am obviously interested in both but is it true that Celceta is structured like a monster hunter game? ie. taking quests from a "quest board" and killing monsters as opposed to playing a linear narrative. I guess a more succinct question is to ask whether Celceta plays like Ragnarok Odyssey/Toukiden or does it play like the early Ys games?

[Rud31]

Celceta plays like ys7 and oath plays like a proto ys7.

What are the good news & reviews sites? I'm feeling increasingly out of touch since I stopped being a twitter addict / since indigam.es shut down / etc.

[Rud31]

dongle just ask me if a game is good or not and I will tell you.
