You start pointing out how all the characters are so cool and then…you meet that one character that’s, for a lack of better words, not so right in the head."

There are a lot of crazy characters in these games now of days as well.

Poseidon5172d ago

bird man from heavenly sword

Acquiescence5172d ago

Dude has a giant pyramid on his head. That's kinda peculiar.

Mucudadada5172d ago

The grave digger in Red Dead is also pretty messed up, lol

JaeKuro5172d ago

I think he was more scary rather than normal creepy lol

Mucudadada5172d ago

That is quite understandable, ha!

VladimirK5172d ago

Haha, also in Red Dead, the guy that you collect flowers for so that he can give them to his wife.

I suppose he could be considered as a bit weird.

Mucudadada5172d ago

Ooooh yaaaa, I remember that guy. Ya, that was awkward.

NateNater5172d ago

The king from Katamari is definitely a very weird character. Actually just about everything in that game is straight up weird.

I'd also throw Noby Noby Boy somewhere in there

Caithness5172d ago

So many more that could be added to that list. Nice to see the fairy godmother from Ocarina Of Time there... that bitch WAS crazy...

... Poison Ivy look-a-like in the weirdest way possible.

Lvy_Wry5172d ago

I hated that woman so much...she gave me nightmares....

CharlesDCI5172d ago (Edited 5172d ago )

I'm glad Shank from Borderlands made the list. His jokes made it so that I didn't want my back turned to him, for obvious reasons lol

Even if they do crack down all a person needs is an Everdrive and a regular old school machine. Or modify a disc based console that has a dead laser to boot off an SD card. Some of those illegal devices look neat and some of them are just plain crap.

This won't stop it unless you have a great service.

Inverno8d ago

What a stupid thing to be wasting time, money and effort. Aren't these guys literally drowning right now? Maybe y'all should focus more on that instead trying to stop people from playing old games no longer being sold.

Inverno7d ago

Pretty sure I've read and seen parts of Italy experiences/ing pretty bad floodings. Id argue that's more important than trying to prevent the sale of emulation devices.
