They should've made the game fun to play, too. Shit was BORING.
Does this make me more evil than Metal Sonic?

Does this make me more evil than Metal Sonic?

Finally got around to ordering Sonic the Phonebook Vol. 2 last week and it arrived this morning.
Still haven't read the first (mostly 'cause I don't particularly care for the really early slapstick/wretched pun issues) but I really like these books. Don't mind the loss of colour for so much content to the dollar. Only problem is the store messed up and sent me some Kindle case or whatever instead of the collected Azumanga Daioh I'd also ordered.

I'm of the mind that it was probably supposed to be boring, on some level. Sort of like Animal Crossing, or Harvest Moon, or something. Being boring was part of the immersion, and if you let it get hits hooks in to you, Shenmue sucked you in to its world better than any game has even today.
I honestly think Shenmue 2 lost something when it tried to pump up the action and negate all of the waiting around.

Rankings seem spot on, 2 sometimes gets a bit of a bum rap but sandwiched between the awesome combo of 1 and 3 it's understandable.
Never seen 5, don't want to, it would hurt me too much.
Still gutted that we never got Second Attack, had to make do with Bomberman Hero which is enjoyably average at least.
I borrowed Lego Racers off a friend once, I remember good things but who knows if it holds up or not.
I'd love another F-Zero but I get what you mean.
Actually there's one that bugs me more right now, Metroid fans crying "Metroid is dead! Other M killed it, it's so dead and it's never coming back!", this is like standard Metroid thread protocol.
Yet despite their own claims they still expect Metroid to turn up at like every Nintendo event and complain when it doesn't, come on guys, it's dead remember?
Also something something Retro Studios.
It should've just played from the start of the fight instead of suddenly starting up on the final phase.
The other bosses take long enough mind you.

Vs. Nega-Wisp Armour - Phase 1 sounds like something ripped out of a Final Fantasy game.

There was a thread about why the Dreamcast failed and in it someone linked to how the sales for SEGA prior to the Dreamcast's release were positive but during the Dreamcast years it was in the red-
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=601851
Off the top of my head, SEGA was doing fine with the Genesis but the SEGA CD and 32X was the start of their downfall what with the CD being dropped for the 32X which was released a year after the CD, and then the 32X only had like 1/10th of the CD's gaming library, which support for was dropped when the Saturn was released 1 year after the 32X.
Furthermore, the CD and 32X add-ons were quite expensive I believe.

The Sega CD was released a few years before the 32X, I believe, not just one.

You think they were fucking around when they sang "Sonic, he's got an attitude!" in the SatAM theme?

Ah I stand corrected then! The Sega CD was around for 2 years, the 32X was released November 1994 in the US, with the Saturn releasing in May 1995. ...that's what 6 months? Dang 90s SEGA...
In Japan the 32X AND Saturn were both available in December 1994 it seems.

Guys, I went into a game shop with my friend of poorer gaming taste, he saw the Fuse box art and said that it looked interesting, you know the box where the characters have their heads chopped off, I guess that focus testing was good for some people.
This came after he poo poo'd the idea of Mario & Luigi Dream Team for his 3DS because he thought it was Luigi's Mansion 2, it was all too much for me.

I don't know, maybe he's worth keeping around, you haven't truly lived until you've argued the merits of the Fuse box art while in a shop.
It's just another entry to add to the list of awful game based conversations i've had with the madman, this list trails onto the floor.

I can't believe you failed to mention that the Green Ranger figure was the best thing about this picture. Green Ranger was awesome. Way better than the White Ranger MMPR. My cousin had all the MMPR figures and toys (including the Dragon Dagger) and never let me play with them whenever he did because he was, and still is, a spoiled brat. :/Finally got around to ordering Sonic the Phonebook Vol. 2 last week and it arrived this morning.
For a minute there, I forgot what Fuse was. Which reminds me that I still have a copy of Remember Me to go through since another one of my cousins lent it to me and wants to trade it in. I need to finish Uncharted firsssst (I just haven't had time to get through it lately; it's not that I don't like it because I'm apparently still early on in the game.
Wait, does he think Luigi's Mansion 2 is bad? (Haven't played it yet.)
Nocturnowl

Nah, he hasn't played it for one thing.
Unfortunately he's one of those guys who sometimes asks me for game recommendations then promptly shoots down every suggestion with arbitrary reasons which is always fun.
I did at least manage to make him buy Mark of the Ninja off Steam the other day since it was like £3, I felt so proud until he told me he wasn't playing it due to keyboard controls (I can relate on this one so i'll let him off) , either way I just can't win!
Coming to think of it there was supposed to be some DLC for that game coming soon, EXCITE!

What a coincidence Seven Force, attempts to branch out in local multiplayer options with the same guy from earlier usually ends up with all other options being vetoed by him and thus we all end up stuck playing Halo 4 (and before that Reach) because seemingly if it ain't about shooting dudes in the face then we ain't playing it.
Hmm, I hope I haven't predicted my multiplayer antics for tomorrow...
Anyway allow me to try and one up those Seven Force anecdotes.
Platformers aren't worth playing because they're "just jumping", also they're 2D and occasionally old which is a bad thing.
Bonus Round: "There's no interesting games coming out this year"

Yeah, his taste in games is fucking weird, haha.
Though he always recommended me awesome games (especially PS1 stuff, I got Einhander, Suikoden and Strider 2 thanks to him) when we were younger, so I guess his taste isn't completely screwed up.

Well then I think BlackJace wins, and in turn also loses since he has to endure that, that's how this game is played.

I moaned about this on twitter earlier, but lordy, Uncharted 1's way of handling grenades is just awkward. I don't like it. It takes so freaking long to correct the stupid thing for accuracy with the sixaxis tilt and the stick that it's probably best to blind throw them. I'm told that Uncharted 2 switches to button controls/Gears controls, so that's not a bad thing!
As for there's no interesting games coming out this year... Hmm... what is coming out this year? I don't think I've played a lot of games that came out this year in general now that I think about it.
Oh, wait, Watch_Dogs. Mario & Luigi. Sen no Kiseki. Somethin'.
What, so because a game uses spritework, it's automatically "occasionally old"? Please. Spritework is something I generally prefer because you can inject so much personality into facial expressions, movement, and character gestures if you do it right.

Well, I do have friends that are fans of stereotypical dudebro franchises, but even I'm surprised at how many of them have varied tastes outside of that. I have one friend for example that's actually trying to get into playing CoD professionally. Buys pretty much every CoD game day one. Yet, you wouldn't know it from looking at him or his gamerscore, but the dude's pretty much a walking Panzer Dragoon encyclopedia.
Having friends with weird/unique tastes in games goes both ways, I guess.

I remember using the Lightning Storm in Infamous 1, but I was tilting my controller without realizing it and I missed one of my targets. I damn near got killed because it drained all my energy, too. :|

Well I was thinking more of how he's the type of fellow who'd shun an old game because it's...old and that most 2D platformers comes from ye olden days of sprite work, though this goes for other genres as well.
I think this year has had an okay first half with some big hitters and the back half of the year is pretty loaded in a way that we can all surely find a handful of titles to look forward to.
I mean compared to the slim pickings of 2012 this is like living in luxury.
The sad truth.
Of course I haven't mentioned my chums with superior and also varied tastes.
And fortunately no one is a CoD fanboy.
