Godly.

Does Zelda ever not get overwhelmingly positive reviews? It's like saying Pokémon is still the best and most creative game ever cause of all the good reviews. I don't think it's impressive to say Zel

i mute everybody when i used to play fps multiplayer a lot. And it is not only the kids that are annoying, it's older people too. 

It's a lot of cussing, hearing other people's music in the background, random conversations, calling people noobs when someone kills someone and saying someone's cheating/hacking if they're the one's that get killed, etc...

Yeah, I never liked playing with over competitive players. Too over the top with their victories/loses.

Some of these types also remind me of some YouTube commentaries like BrainScratchComms.

Bravely Default is getting some hype. Supposedly really good game and i've seen people calling it the best Final Fantasy not named Final Fantasy. 

 

I might be starting Tales of Xillia some time next week.

I did hear a sequel was being made for that game.

 

Just did research and it's developed by Square. Sweet.

I bought Fire Emblem Awakening yesterday. It's my first Fire Emblem game. Is it good? Did I make the right choice starting with it? What do you think?

It's a pretty good game. I'd recommend it to starters since Awakening has a Casual mode where units aren't perma-dead.

YouTube is responding to gamers and YouTubers who are upset about the Internet video giant's extraordinarily aggressive new copyright sweeps. We've got a a copy of the e-mail they're sending out below.

 

You won't see an apology here. You won't see a change in policy. You'll see support for the Content ID system that's been more broadly unleashed on the reviews, features, Let's Plays and other video pieces created by YouTubers and watched by millions of gamers. Many, many of these videos have been flagged of late, blocking YouTubers from running ads on them and letting the supposed copyright holders to these videos run ads instead.

 

The catch is that many game companies aren't even claiming these videos. In many cases, music licensing companies are, as YouTube's bots catch a piece of matching music—even just a boss battle song or a song playing on the radio in Grand Theft Auto, or sometimes some music licensed for an indie game.

 

What's YouTube's take?

 

You will see a recommendation that YouTubers mute the music in the games they're capturing and you'll see what appears to be support for the idea that a music rightsholder can claim that a YouTuber can't run ads on a gaming video just because the music rightsholder has a claim to a piece of music that might run in part of it.

 

Take it away, YouTube...

 

 

 

Hi from YouTube,

 

You might have heard about, or been impacted by an increase in copyright claims made on videos over the past week. We're getting in touch to explain what's happening and how you can get back to creating and monetizing great videos.


What's happening

is YouTube's system for scanning videos for copyrighted content and giving content owners choices on what they want us to do with them. Last week, we expanded the system to scan more channels, including those affiliated with a multi-channel network ("MCN"). As a result, some channels, including many gaming channels, saw claims appear against their videos from audio or video copyright holders.


Understanding Content ID claims

Keep in mind one video may contain multiple copyrighted works, any of which could potentially result in a claim. For example a record label may own music playing in the video (even in the background), a music distributor may own a game's soundtrack, or a game publisher may own in-game cinematic content.

 

Also, online rights are often resold to companies like music labels and aggregators. While you might not recognize the owner, this doesn't necessarily mean their claims are invalid.


Deciding what to do

When a claim is made, you'll see what's been claimed, who's claimed it, what type of claim it is (audio or video), and you can play back the part of your video that it matched. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to act on Content ID claims, and you can
.


It's also important to know that most claims won't impact
.


Tips for new videos

If you're creating videos with content from other people, remember that rights ownership can be complicated and different owners have different policies. Be aware of music. Many games allow you to turn off background music, while leaving sound effects enabled. And if you're looking for music you can freely use (and monetize!), check out our
.


Whether gaming, music or comedy is your passion, know that we love what you do. We've worked hard to design Content ID and other tools to give everyone — from individual creators to media companies — the opportunity to make great videos and earn money. As YouTube grows, we want to make sure we're providing the right product features to ensure that everyone continues to thrive.


Sincerely,

The YouTube team

 

If you're coming in late to this, you should be aware that YouTube's sweeps have snagged a video showing a game that the uploader made from scratch. It's been fooled into diverting ad revenue to people who didn't actually have any copyright claim to the videos that got a Content ID match. Even as some game publishers are rallying to support gaming YouTubers, I hear from YouTubers every day who tell me that their videos are being matched, mostly by music licensing companies whose claims seem narrow and are proving altogether disruptive to the gaming YouTuber scene.

I don't think its ever been a surprised that the music industry is behind this content id deal. They been putting pressure on yt for years.

 

Most game companies understand the power game walkthroughs. And its free promo for them. Only a few companies like Nintendo don't seem to get this.

Really? I see a lot of walkthroughs of Nintendo games.

 

Speaking of Nintendo games, would anyone recommend Legend Of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds?

i've only played the original ps2 version but i highly recommend it because it's an enhanced version with added stuff. It's in my top 5 jrpgs actually. Some might not like the calendar and social stuff they do though. But it is well worth checking out. 

Cool, thanks.

 

Also, do you know how much a pre-owned PS Vita at Gamestop costs? I've seen the website say it's $200 but that's for a fresh one.

Reader Justin wants to bring the Game Boy back. So he's designed a brand new one. It's not as rugged as its predecessors, but it sure is glassy.P

Taking as many cues from modern phone design as portable games hardware, Justin's design has a 5.3" 1080p screen, two cameras, 16GB of flash memory, 4G connectivity, a quad-core processor and 2GB RAM. He thinks that would cost $199 - hey, he's dreaming here, remember - and serve as much as a mini-tablet as a games device.

That sounds like the anti-Nintendo device in some ways. And I'm not sold on the fold-out controls. But then, once they're out, that slimline d-pad actually looks neat.

I don't like it.

Atlus USA describes the story:

 

 

Monsters have invaded the world of Aterra, and only a few special individuals, imbued with the power of the Star God, are equipped to fight it. With only a small group of warriors and a narrow 
 of time in which their powers are at their peak, the solution is clear: combine your Star power to make magical Star Children to boost up your forces in battle!

 

The life of a student can be complicated when you're exploring dungeons, fighting monsters, AND trying to maintain a high school lifestyle. Learn to balance your activities because the deeper the bond you have with your classmates, the stronger the Star Children you'll make! In this stimulating JRPG, you'll be able to create bonds with 7 different female Disciples and create 24 classes of Star Children, so you must learn how to create the perfect Star Children for any situation. In no time, you'll have dozens of 
 kids with different skills that can take on everything the monsters throw at you.

 

Both the 3DS and PlayStation Vita versions will retail for US$39.99. First printings will include the game's soundtrack by Masato KÅda.

DS Games Are Coming To The Virtual Console

Finally! The wait, it seems, is over. Nintendo announced today that it plans to bring DS games to the Virtual Console.

 

Details are scant, but Nintendo president Satoru Iwata explained that getting DS games, with their dual screen gameplay, on the Wii U GamePad has created a hurdle.

 

However, here you can see an image Nintendo created for the presentation, which might better explain how DS games will look on the GamePad:

Nintendo did not provide specifics as to when DS games will hit the Virtual Console, nor did it announce whether or not DS Games are planned for the 3DS Virtual Console.

Meanwhile, there's still some GBA games I want that need to be added to the VC. Mother 3 and Golden Sun 1 & 2 please.

note to self: don't play Ys Seven for longer than 2 hours. Your thumbs will hurt. 

 

Near the end! I don't think i've beaten an rpg in quite a while. I don't count Dark Souls as an rpg so the last one was probably Tales of Graces F almost a year ago. 

 

It would be stupid if DS games weren't made available for the 3DS store. You guys see the news about the Nintendo higher ups taking pay cuts? They're gonna have to have a big year this year. 

I'm still waitingh for some GBA games to be available on the Virtual Console but DS games on it makes sense since some are probably getting hard to find.

Nice gesture (the pay cut).

 

One more week until Bravely Default comes to the US.
