Anyone buying GoW Ascension. I am a member of an Indian gaming website and there is a huge uproar on the delay in delivery of the game in India

It's PC specific but Rock Paper Shotgun is still awesome.

Yeah you're not wrong, I was largely speaking in hyperbole in that post. I'm surprised that the shutting down of a gaming website has had such an emotional effect on me, especially since I haven't been a regular vistor to the site since Ziff originally sold it in 2008. Maybe it's just that I feel like I was a part of it due to growing up with their podcasts.

Anyone bought or thinking about buying an OUYA? It seems pretty cool and at that price it barely a financial risk, there's been a load of backlash against it in the gaming media because of it's ridiculous Kickstarter (and because the gaming scene hates everything popular) but most of the reviews have been reasonably positive.

I'm probably going to pre-order one this week.

(For those who have no idea what I'm talking about: OUYA)

I do have plenty of them, but I don't collect or anything. I have all of the modern ones though. In my place at the moment I have:

PS3
Xbox360
Wii-U
3DS
DSi
PS Vita
PSP
+ a gaming PC.

I have a black Dreamcast, a PS2 (that doesn't really work well), a Nintendo 64 and a SNES somewhere in my storage unit. I don't ever plan on using them because my PC emulates them all extremely well, except maybe the Dreamcast.

At the moment I only regularly use the Vita, Steam on the PC and the PS3. I have a few games ready to go on the 360 and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on Wii-U, but I've been pretty busy with work, chix etc.

EDIT: I've also been reading a ton lately.

Solution = make gaming your work like these professional Starcraft blokes I've read about who get paid massive salaries or some **** to play the game. No idea how it works at all.

And then get chix to sit next to you whilst you play games like they do in LAN cafes in Asia.

Dreamcast was so good. Love it so much.

Anyway, anyone played Dark Souls? Looks quite decent, thinking about getting it.

It will ruin your will to live. Game is so hard. Only play if you have patience and tactical mind. You need to learn from every one of your deaths. And there will be hundreds of them.

My Xbox 360 died a couple of weeks ago, and was really hanging out for today in the hope that the new Xbox would support 360 games. Gutted by the news

Yeah, seems to be the general consensus. Does look pretty coooool, but not sure I have the time of effort to invest in a game that's so demanding. Might just play through Skyrim again instead.

I would 100% recommend it over Skyrim, especially if you've experienced Skyrim already. It's really quite a unique game, it's tough but so rewarding when you finally find your way to victory over a tough boss.

It was never going to happen man, backwards compatibility is a thing of the past with gaming consoles I think. Especially in the jump from this console cycle to the next, where Sony and Microsoft had proprietary chips and hardware in their consoles previously and now have standard PC parts in the new ones, it's not financially viable to produce the current consoles with both sets of hardware in them.

If you're desperate you should just get one of the newer 360's, their prices are very cheap these days.
