Re: Creators Of New Switch Emulator 'Suyu' Hope To Avoid Nintendo's Wrath

@JohnnyMind Thank you for your response. I am in no way trying to attack your opinion.
I just think the modding and hacking community use similar tools to do what they want. A bit like if I made a universal car key to help all the people that get locked out of their car. So because I don't hold any interest in modding I feel we would be better with neither.

@kr0n0tu I do not want there to be any change in the law to take away people's right to do what they like with the product they have purchased. But there are laws in what you can do with what you can do with it when you have modded it.
And please do not use that preservation argument, what gives anyone the right to preserve something because they think it should be? In that case we should all have a copy of every game ever made.

@LadyCharlie I feel you will get burnt in life thinking that all the little companies are just great people and are completely fair to customers and the planet. And I also think you'll find that there are lots of them that are wannabe big time CEO's who haven't got there yet.
Small companies just have an easier opportunity at making themselves look better.

Re: Microsoft To Share "Vision For The Future Of Xbox" Next Week

I feel this is the slow process of all out digital from microsoft, I believe that you will only buy controllers in the future. They will connect to any devise which will stream the games.
Not too sure what point we are in that but looks like we will hear something from them this week.

@Kiwi_Unlimited No I haven't played it but I have heard it has a few interesting ideas that have been implemented well. So I think it's a bit cheap to try and use something else to promote yourself, but if you have made the game enjoyable then that's not a bad thing. I am not likely to be able to play this one as I only have a switch, but you never know.
Personally I am not a fan of the concept of games ideas coming from marketing but as I said if it makes a fun game then so be it.

Re: GAME Apparently Ending Physical Trade-Ins From Next Month (UK)

This is just another nail in the coffin, this time they are after physical games, next is the console.

In some ways you have to look at the digital world as a way of saving world resource, however governments are not regulating the industry and this is allowing business to take the p*** out of consumers. The biggest example is that they charge the same or more for digital against physical, how on earth do they work that out!

Re: Nintendo Hacker Gary Bowser Says He's "Not Involved" With New Switch Flash Cart

@Spider-Kev
She was the CEO for the post office during the biggest miscarriage of justice in the UK. She knowingly allowed people to be prosecuted for crimes that she knew they didn't commit. Over 500 people were fined/jailed/bankrupted, some even committed suicide, while she lied and did everything she could to protest the business she ran.
I would also mention she has CBE and was a cleric, no god fairing person should ever stoop as low.
It's a long story, but this is the wikipedia page for it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Post_Office_scandal

Re: Soapbox: "Go Outside, Get Some Fresh Air" - Why Won't Outmoded Gamer Stereotypes Die?

@SwagaliciousJohnson You are completely right about the way that older people feel about gaming. I am personally 51 and although the beginnings of the industry was a great time for me, because I loved it. But it was heavily criticised for taking people away from outside hobbies at that time, and it really did then because most hobbies at the time made people go outside.
It's only since the wii and phones/ipads have come along which really changed that rhetoric by bringing gaming to a wider audience, so really people are just holding on to that old generalisation.
Just ignore them, they are wrong and gaming is great!

Re: Feature: Game Boy Color - A Quarter Century Of Colour Nintendo Handhelds

I just saw this as an upgrade and despite there being a few games that were exclusive I never considered it worth it. I just carried on playing the grey brick until the advance and I never felt I missed anything.
I seem to remember there was already rumours about the advance when this released too. That really added to the feeling that this was just a quick upgrade to slightly extend the shelf live of the game boy rather than being the next real Nintendo console.
