The changes were not that good and the extra content sucked ass :(
Fair enough
Yea II was Xbox only in the states, EU nikkas got lucky and got the dreamcast version.
PDO was good ;-;

Ill agree tho, PS2 was good/GOAT even but gotta give the OG box some credit (Im saying this as someone who skipped out on a OG and Xbone, and dropped MS after RROD)..

PS2 is definitely the GOAT console. There is a reason my PS2 and PS4 operate in the same space, I still buy games for the PS2. That thing will go with me to college. It was refurbished when it was bought ten years ago and still works. My 360 died three or four years in

God, it's awkward to have to hear your brother have sex in the middle of the night when you're trying to sleep. >.>
Ear buds? Headphones? Drowning out their moans with Netflix? Childish Gambino?

I've played some SNES games in my time, I'll give it to the PS2 all day

Quick question? Why do peeps act like the N64 is an amazing console game wise?

...............Thats a good question.
I mean it had some gems and classics but I can't bring myself to call it amazing.

Like it was the first to do 3d movement completely right and it did have the GOAT wrestling games but yea PS1 and Saturn (
worldwide at least
) shits on the 64.

And the SNES library just ages better IMO, just timeless from '91-'96
'91-'00 if you wanna be a wiseass

Uhhhh excuse you, Fire Pro Wrestling Returns is the GOAT. Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 is pretty close. It's no Here Comes the Pain tho.

Also, did the Dreamcast have anything that wasn't a fighting game or a crappy Sonic game?
 

I don't see any Xbox exclusives that mean anything other than Halo, Metal Wolf Chaos, JSRF, NBA Inside Drive, and Phantom Dust

Your OG Xbox game is weak bro,

Conker
Gunvalkyrie
Kung Fu Chaos (Yes Im serious) edit I meant this one
Crimson Skies

These exclusives are Grade A

JSRF is my shit tho

Anybody else not really finish games

Thats the story of my PS3, got a decent collection of games I didn't even start yet.... then boom Remasters on PS4... damn

So my rule for the PS4 to actually finish my games before I get to buy and play new ones. Its shockingly effective as Im pushing myself to play through because I want to get to something else. lol

Also a big rule I made was only to buy games I will actually play. No point in having pirate syndrome while spending real money, its a waste. Also not every top tier game is for everyone, real talk.

You a lie! Conker on Xbox is a perfectly fine game

Nah, the N64 version really is the superior one in that case. Graphics aren't everything.


People seriously saying GunValkyrie?

Even getting past the worst controls in any action game EVER, that game wasn't all that. Shinobi on PS2 did the "hard as balls game that is all about constant and difficult mobility" only Shinobi was a better game under the hood by every metric.

It had a lot of exclusives in its short life. Not a lot that was memorable (or good) though.
 
Something I've been thinking about seriously, and that's that we as black Americans really have to start speaking with our people across the ocean and start preparing for ourselves to head to West African countries if necessary, and make way for those without financial means to make it over as well. I have zero confidence in White America to actually stop fascism created out of a much more inclusive white supremacy. If they can be a part of it, they will not stop it, and we need to look out for ourselves first and foremost.

Nigga you disgusting

Here comes the pain is a bootleg No Mercy which is a 20fps of Wrestlemaina 2k which is a wwf version of wcw/nwo revenge (the true silver prize to VPW2).

Dreamcast had Skies of Arcidia, Crazy Taxi, Shunmue, Jet Set Radio, Gradia II, Ikaruga, 2k games when they werent black twitter jokes, best version of Rayman 2......and the fighting games which you pointing out.

While there is a very large issue in America, more and more White Americans are identifying the issues in society in regards to race, sexism, LGBTQ issues, what have you. I ain't gonna leave just because it's bad. It's been bad for centuries, I'm here and not elsewhere for a reason.

Damn nigga, that one was just me asking a serious question bout the Dreamcast

Here Comes the Pain is like number two or three to FPWR. HCTP Was the first game I played(maybe?) and got me into wrestling. I love it

The only thing exclusive in that lot was Shenmue tho. And to be far, anything on the list that was multiplat was inherently better elsewhere for controller issues alone.

The audacity of hope indeed.

I'm not trying to be here while white america fights it out on whether people who aren't straight white Christians deserve humanity and get caught in the crossfire of that.

At the end of the day I have to think about my family, and I've seen how this country treats black people that fight on the side of freedom and justice, just useful tools to be discarded. Last time black people fought fascism they came back to a country that was still okay with lynching them and not treating them as human. I'll be damned if I'm going to be around when history repeats itself.

If they didn't suffer from porting issues (looks at Grandia 2 ps2 with disgust)

It's weird, I remember Shut Your Mouth and the first Smackdown vs. Raw much more than I do Here Comes the Pain. o.o

Weird indeed, SyM did had better (?) presentation and a better roster but as the youngin said......

Shut Your Mouth does not play as well as HCTP. At all.

SyMs gameplay was still early smackdown arcade-ish and Pains gameplay is good.

People talking reckless about Here Comes the Pain now? Smh

Eh, its top five easily but the better n64 games are on another level. DoR 2 is good tho but the roster is eh and a match can go forever if a player knows how to always kick out pins

Playing HCTP as Goldberg, or Brock, or Legend Taker, or Kane, or Big Show is amazing. I legit took out Chris Benoit with one chokeslam from Big Show

Playing with Goldberg or Brock is like playing with the 96 Bulls in 2K.

I downloaded a Gamecube emulator and tried to play DoR but my laptop ran at a smooth 10 FPS so yeah. I'll take VPW2 and other Japanese wrestling games all day.

The only OG Xbox game I care about is Jet Set Radio Future. And maybe PSO, but I'd just play it on the Gamecube.

As a side note, I'm straight tired of all the negativity on Gaming side. Shit is too much.

a lot of people are in the process of doing exactly this. forging business alliances along pan-african lines with the caribbean, south and central americas, and africa. Lots of money, lots of leveraged economic inequality that sends money and resources to the folks who already have all the money and resources. So that is definitely one of the right ideas. I mean, it worked for the English and the Dutch in the 18th and 19th centuries.

edit: to be clear the point is to disrupt the unfair and corrupt economics and try to create a business web throughout the african diaspora that creates a net increase in wealth and quality of life. but the politics of these places is bloody complicated, as an understatement. and not in a friendly way.

i will say, there's a lot of things i don't like about Switch price/corporate wise, but interface wise, at least Nintendo still trying to add new input and feedback systems (enhanced rumble/haptic feedback, 3D mini-camera,etc etc) instead of just being a generic controller. we need at least one company still doing the "how you are going to play" not just "what you are going to play"

shine on you crazy diamonds

still don't know what to think if they're truly expecting voice chat via phones. they're either losing their mind or ahead of the curve on that one - my brothers and all their friends only use their phones to text message each other on PSN. who knows what will happen when MS and Sony add voice chat to those apps. i'm on the side of they've lost their mind so far on that one

I'm not going to romanticize West Africa just because of the fuckery going on in my own country. Africans are perfectly capable of being every bit as heinous towards other Africans as any white American has ever been to a person of color.

Nah I'm good, right here. Black Americans are not fragile. We've weathered nearly half a millennia of bullshit on this continent and we aren't about to fold because of Donald Trump.

Nintendo always has those one or 2 ideas that make you think they exist in a place where the last 15-20s never happened. I wonder how much is that is company culture? Where the new blood is afraid to speak up

Well they did outsource all the online stuff to DeNA this time.. maybe DeNA is like "yo, we know phones.. so let's just make all our stuff on phones"

True. Luckily, i have a PC so i can enjoy them as a side piece.

Have they stated a microphone is not included in the switch? Because requiring a cell phone to chat seems impossibly dense. There can't be a place where a major game company decides to force people to use a cell phone to play a game.
 
Morning BCT. Tomorrow is a day that'll be overlooked by many, misnamed by others, and taken for granted. Remember the man, faults and all, was able to set the world on fire.

Time for the gym.
Time for burritos.
 
What's up, man? Fresh off a ban. On thin ice, lmao.

I've just been lurking and noticing all this vindication from trump's victory in people's posting. Wild.

Apparently voting in a fascist allows you to not give a damn about minorities anymore. At least that what I get from those posts anyway. It's disturbing how much animosity and racism was just bubbling under the surface of neogaf for so long and it took Trump being elected president to just cause it all to boil over.

But enough about that, how goes it?

It's was all good just a week ago, smh. I've seen some posts from juniors that were obviously alt/troll accounts that people have been waiting to bring out. A lot of liberals on this site switched up quick and placed the blame on us, pandering, name calling for the loss.

Tryna enjoy the rest of this free time before class on Tuesday. Debating on if i wanna get a switch or not. How've things been?

Alright. We were yammering about the Switch and debating about whether we should give a damn about Here comes the pain. Def Jam Fight for NY is the superior wrestling game anyways. But alright nonetheless.

Also I did notice how some "liberals" became turncoats and blamed black people, which is fucking stupid in the first place. But I digress...
