Warning: More Rage Ahead
Today has been fairly ragetastic overall.
The 3DS section is pretty terrible. Half the threads (probably more really) seem to degenerate into an argument over the value of the 3DS, if the games are any good, the price, if the 3DS will ever be what is considered a commercial success, etc. I posted a thread out of curiosity, and it was closed within two hours (may be a little longer, but I don't feel like checking) because people just couldn't resist talking about the aforementioned topics. Apparently asking if a game is worth the money is an invitation to derail the thread to high heaven. Great time when you can't even ask a question because the wrong people seem to consistently find their way into threads where they don't belong. For any wondering, just check my profile. It was the most recent topic (after this) that I've posted. I was kind of hoping people would give an idea about the game and, you know, just kind of answer the question(s). I thank one person for that having to be closed though. I won't name names, but damn if it isn't obvious (well, obvious to me anyways
).
I also don't feel like my last post was overboard. I actually had to watch what I was saying as I went through as to try to get my semi-harsh message across without it needing to be deleted. The irony is definitely there.
This is the only section where I see this shit happen too. Hey guys, guess what, if you don't like the machine, stay out of the section FOR the machine.
The fact that I couldn't ask what were fairly simple and straight forward questions without the thread having to be closed by page three is terrible.
In other news:
I tried out DaedalusX64 on my PSP running OoT. I made it into the Deku Tree using as close to the recommended settings as possible, went to equip the slingshot, and shit broke. I wasn't too angry about that though. I was half expecting a freeze. I'm just a little mad that I didn't save before hand, so I'll have to start over and collect those long 40 rupees again (I guess Kokiri Forest is the only place where the frame rate drops fairly badly). It definitely wasn't unbearable, but it wasn't something I would play through a whole game dealing with (which you don't have to).
I'll probably start again a little later. It shouldn't take too long to get back to where I was, even with the shit frame rate in the Kokiri Forest. I'm considering getting Paper Mario, as I never got a chance to really play the first game, and apparently it runs pretty much perfectly in the emulator.
