I came in with Marvel 3 in 11 so I never got to experience something like the that. Project L can bring back those good times lol. Uff, you missed a lot of great stuff. Like noobs and scrubs arguing with top players on the forums about the game, and 99% of the time saying they were wrong about why they thought X or Y character was strong/weak on the game. Not saying that top players are always right, but if anyone has a better grasp about the game, is very likely someone who plays at high level than a random dumbass that cries that none respects the old gentlemen rules of old 🤣 In part is one of the reasons why most top players left the forums. What many people who came from 09 onwards don't know is that originally SRK and derivative sites like DL were forums for the competitive side of the community. but with 09 all of that went out of the window. TBH, while SRK became "toxic" in a way after 09, the site was already very abrassive. If you were talking dumb shit you would be clowned, so only people with though skin stayed. After 09, the admins envisioned a more friendly site, so started to make a lot of changes to the site, removing or frowning upon on stuff they considered that shooed away newcomers. And when they removed the premium side, it is why General became the haven for most people who dwelled there, and the "last bastion" of the old guard that stayed, which is why you could feel a disconnect between the regulars from GD and the rest of the site. There were a lot of 09'ers that became infamous due the amount of crap they spouted and were so certain about it, lol.

Genetic Disaster is 80% off at 2.99 Fury Unleashed 7.99 <---I've had my eye on this one for a while...now might be the time then... Marvel Ultimate Alliance = 41.99 ---not much of a sale; only 30% off but it seems this RARELY goes on sale so it caught my eye. Street Fighter Anniversary Collection = 14.99 Oh---the older Castlevania Collection; I forgot aobut it; this is 4.99 (Simon's Quest, Dracula's Curse, Super Castlevania IV, Castlevania The Adventure, Castlevania II Belmont's Revenge, Castlevania Bloodlines, Kid Dracula....sheeeeittt, just 5 bucks) Carrion (*well; can't see this since I already purchased it, and it doesn't show the price on site for some reason) Astral Chain 41.99 Capcom Beatemup Bundle = 9.99 Contra Collection (*I also can't see this since I have it already) Kingdoms of Amalur = 27.99 (*shows up since I have it but via physical version) Night Slashers = 1.99 Namco Museum = 7.49 (*this always caught my eye since it has Galaga '88.) Destroy All Humans = 29.99 (*as this is quite an old game; 29 should really be the normal price anyway, imo) Edited November 24, 2021 by MillionX Abbachio, DoctaMario, DangerousJ and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment

DA I felt was the one game from BioWare that could still be salvageable because it’s never been labeled as a “bad series” or had an entry that’s been received with overwhelming negativity. With Inquisition despite it being made on an engine it absolutely shouldn’t have been (Frost) BioWare did a hell of a job adapting and it was genuinely well received. Dragon Age II before it suffered from being forced onto platforms it wasn’t originally going to be on (PS360) but because Origins was so successful EA wanted more than just a SKU for PC. When playing DA2 you could tell being on multiple SKU’s caused them to cut a loooooot of content and dumb down combat considerably. Even then it was still more-or-less universally praised. Even though we’ve only seen a tiny bit of “Dragon Age 4” it had a lot of promise. The creative director leaving is likely a huge blow to not only the project but overall moral at BioWare.

If you are down for a creative Mageman-ish experience then I recommend a game I don't see people talk about very often called Panzer Paladin. It's an NES style platformer where you play a pilot in a big fucking robot. You can use enemy weapons, and sections do stages will force you to exit the meh for a slightly different experience. I thought this game was pretty cool, creative and fun, and made good use of its NES inspired art style. It's the kind of throw back to that era I like to see. There are also the Alwa games, open world 2D puzzle platformer. First is NES inspired while the second is more 16 bit Genesis/Snes inspired. Also cool little games.
