    Questions......

    Hello

     

    Been a looooooong time since I've been here but it still feels like home.

     

    If I seen a game on eBay and its from England, will it run on my North America 1040 ST? I really, really want Dungeon Master and Chaos Strikes Back but the only ones are from England and Germany.

     

    Does anyone here have a power cord for the 1040ST and Dungeon Master for sale?? Pretty Please!!!!

    I am really interested in reading peoples experiences here on AtariAge. I spent some time and watched 4 live games on Twitch yesterday, two playing on PS4 and two playing on XB1. The game really looked good (though Twitch video quality leaves something to be desired) and the people playing were really into it. The atmosphere of the game looked incredible.

     

    But all of the players were also having trouble with dying on a regular basis. All were having to retry areas at various points in the game, multiple times, due to deaths. One guy was getting really PO'd when he died for the 4th time in the same area (the Alien was stalking around the area and there were people shooting at him also). He finally cleared it when the Alien went after those that were shooting at him and then left after the slaughter. The Alien hadn't done that previously, so it appears that the game might be very random in regards to the actions of the Alien.

     

    Anyway, looking forward to more comments on the game.

    I was very seriously considering buying this game at launch. But after reading several early reviews, I thought I might wait a bit longer as a few facets of the game (such as the SAVE system) I'm not sure I'll like.

     

    One of the nice features of the XB1 and PS4 is that Twitch is available on both and a lot of people are broadcasting their games live. I plan on using it to watch people playing Isolation live to get more of a feel for the game.

    Destiny, anyone?

    Its probably more like a Star Wars prequel or the later Matrix movies...not bad starting out but pretty brutal in the end.

     

    Actually the prequels were all shit. Sorry for anyone who likes them....I don't.

     

    You hit the nail on the head: what Destiny needs is Jar Jar Binks!

    Yes the reason I got the 360 version was because it was the only Ghost version Amazon had in stock at the time, and I had no clue if it would ever come in stock again. A few days later they put up the One version so I snagged that version as well. I really wanted the game on one of the current gen systems anyways. I returned the 360 version and got a refund. Amazon had busted the lid all up when they shipped it so I just returned it as damaged.

     

    Ahhh, understood. Knowing that you had current gen systems, I was just curious why you picked the 360 version.

     

    My son was really, really torn between the PS4 and Xbox360 versions as he wanted the better graphics of the PS4 but he has a lot more friends to play with on the 360. He ended up getting the PS4 version and wishes now he had gone 360 so that he would have a better chance of getting into raids.

    Destiny, anyone?

    Otherwise I can see people losing interest after 10 days, never mind 10 years.

     

     

    That's basically me. About 10 - 12 days to make it to Lvl 21 and then lost total interest. Others enjoy it and that's cool, but I played enough.

     

    Besides, my time is now taken up playing Defense Grid 2 while waiting for The Walking Dead Season 2 on Oct. 21st.

    What's the latest games you've played on your Wii U?

    For me, it seems like every time I want to just play a game, I turn a device on and I have to do an update of some kind before playing. Sometimes a game update, sometimes a firmware update, sometimes both.

     

    Just the other day, I wanted to see what was new in the PS Store and before I could, I had to do an update. Then I browsed the store and found a game I wanted. I purchased it, downloaded it, installed it, and then went to play it. But.... had to do a game update for the brand new game I just purchased.

     

    I guess maybe I have really become a crotchety, cranky, senile old man.
