I don't think anyone had a choice in the matter. Considering how infamous he was, it's mindboggling how he got any kind of approval for his movie adaptations. And I think we're honestly at the point where we don't need film adaptations of videogames anymore because they've already become so film-like on their own. Sure, an animated series or movie wouldn't hurt here or there, but we honestly don't need to see a live action Sonic, or Mario, or whatever. Just let gamers live their epic fantasies immersed in the worlds the games create, because film is a medium that takes you out of that mental state.
I'd agree with you but it's fucking SEGA, they haven't made a good game in a while.

[comes in and smashes the quote pyramid with Gravity Hammer.]

So, guys, I know this is a rather left field question, but recent circumstances had forced me to sell 80% of my video game collection to pay off a surprise bill. This is a rare opportunity to rebuild, so I would love some feedback on video games to get to rebuild. I'm already aware of the Darksiders games, so that's fine. I'm also planning on getting an Xbox One, as I have said before, so that's open as well.

I know this thread is more about news of gaming, but I figured that here's a good place to get some good recommendations in light of these conversations.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

Any specific consoles in mind you intend to rebuild for? And if you're getting an Xbox One, best place to start after Inquisition is Sunset Overdrive. Other than that, the Wii U is host to plenty of shit; Hyrule Warriors, Wind Waker HD, dem Marios, dat Smash, etc.

I haven't actually played them, but I bet Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor would be a good option, from what I've seen. And I'm sure Enzan wouldn't say no to a new play buddy in Destiny.

But yea, definitely get Sunset Overdrive. I already have a copy of that aside for whenever I get an Xbox One (if I end up buying it myself, it'll only be after more worthwhile exclusives release, like PlatinumGames' new game. Halo 5 doesn't count.)

The same sources are also suggesting that Nintendo's plans and designs are considering the incorporation of a hole in the centre of the screen.
The fact that this would render entire genres completely unplayable - especially shooters - belies an absolutely shocking lack of foresight that sadly, I could actually see Nintendo doing at some point in the future. Like, seriously, what would be the actual fucking benefit of this? You don't make shit differently just because you can.

The hole might be in place to attach some kind of peripheral? I don't know why, but it reminds me of that one awesome console that was a small TV screen with a joystick and the games came with a clear, plastic sheet that you put over the screen to simulate your HUD and reticule. Perhaps they plan something similar to that concept?

It seems like a hell of a lot of trouble to go to when you could just, you know, not have a fucking hole in the screen.

If there's anywhere on the system that by some chance could actually benefit from some arbitary fucking holes, it's exactly where the button arrangements would go - so people can plug and unplug control arrangements of their own choosing. Not only would this enable instant lefty support for pretty much every game imaginable (and anyone who's played Kid Icarus knows how merciless Nintendo is with lefties), it would essentially enable certain developers to invent their own control scheme to go with their games, on the offchance that the standard one won't work as well. Kinda like the peripheral Activision made for Guitar Hero World Tour, only not quite as dumb:
