It matters because you can get used games for sometimes a tenth of the price they charge on the digital store.

What is this based on? It sounds like something that would be against even the most basic licence terms.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I’m asking about whether the concept of “you are allowed to play pirated games if you own a physical copy of it” is based on any legal truth.

I’m aware that the emulators are largely completely legal as long as they don’t package console bios’ with it. That’s why you have to go find a pirate bios to make your emulator run

The sequel Fade to Black was too clunky to enjoy. I never played the remake but I hear the remake is getting a sequel, so I might pick it up.

My favourite was Flashback. Kind of the spiritual sequel to Another World. I had the SNES version. I think it’s my all time favourite video game.

Do you have anything to back that up? Or is it just “trust me bro” that kind of proves my point?

Did that claim have any actual grounding in reality? Or is it just an urban legend that keeps persisting?

It wasn’t the tank controls per se. It was the tile based actions. Tomb Raider was basically a 3D Prince of Persia game. If you’re running and you press the jump button, the character would jump the next time to got to the edge of the current tile. It was a very deliberate and measured way to plan your moves.

They did that with Tomb Raider, but ironically the obtuse controls were pivotal to the game design.

They aren’t testing anything. They are just enacting a stealth twilight of old Reddit like they’ve been planning ever since they thought up the new UI.

The ones that pay are the ones running the ads. If the content creators have to pay, they will be the ones doing ads. This is how AV content has worked since the dawn of broadcast radio.

I only got it by state save scumming in zsnes, and even then it was tough not to save yourself into a corner.

So, just like FFXIV?

You are conflating copyright and patents. Copyright is protection for the expression of an idea, like the art design. This is a patent issue, which is a protection of how something works.

If somehow I patent a vague mechanic like “a method of selecting weapons with the directions of an analogue stick or mouse, presented as an 8 direction on screen circle.” Then I could sue Red Dead Redemption and Batman Arkham, despite there being no copyright infringement with whatever game I made with that feature.

The production values are good, and it’s generally entertaining, but I just can’t cope with the gaps in logic and the seemingly deliberate attempts to make it conflict with the Alien films.

I’d rather re-watch the Red Letter Media review than the film itself.

World of Final Fantasy is as close to a Pokemon rip off as you can get, and they didn’t get sued.

Edit. And now I think about it, the mobile game of Rick and Morty was very much a reskin of Pokemon.

It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times!?

Even Matrix 4?

We must be thinking of different films…
