Not to say I don't enjoy them, but I'll gladly take Double Dragon 2, Final Fight 1, and Turtles In Time over pretty much any SoR game I've played. I'd hold them up over Konami brawlers easily, but otherwise I tend to agree. SoR2 has such a bitchin soundtrack that it really gets held higher than it should. The console war factor (where few of us has SNES and Genesis if we had a 16 bit system at all) and the co-op probably boost its status as well. Remake and 4 are pretty damn good though. 4 would have really benefitted from keeping 3's mechanics of universal run/dash and the up/down evasion- would speed up the feel a lot. Last playthrough I did was with Cherry and I was impressed with how much better her run made the game feel. Abbachio, RSG3, DoctaMario and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment

I considered Spider Man until I concluded it was probably a lot like the Arkham games, which I have already played the shit out of. All might be games I would enjoy- there's just nothing that makes me want to try them. Maybe if I had bought a PS3 instead of a 360 I would have tried some of those franchises a decade ago. And I do intend on picking up Ghosts of Tsushima once it goes down to $20- kind of afraid it will be too much like Assassins' Creed, which I have never been able to get into.

Konami brawlers are supposed to be simple to the point that you can drop a quarter in, mash the attack button and have a great time/kick ass, at least TMNT1 and Simpsons. Turtles In Time was much more complex than that and Double Dragon 2 had a lot of stuff going on considering how simple the controls really were. Final Fight seemed like a more polished version of SoR even though it came out 2 years prior. Anything Yuzo Koshiro composes though, I'll stan for. That man is fucking brilliant even when I'm not as into the songs (like Portrait Of Ruin.) He'd be a saint forever imo if the only thing he ever composed was the Actraiser OST. 41 minutes ago, Camacho said: Ooh, I've got another one: the only Sony exclusive I've been really excited about for a long time was Bloodborne.

MillionX Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 oh yeah---The Division--- when they first showed footage of this game at E3, I was interested because it looked awesome...visually it was on another level at the time. Then came a critical 2-hit combo the killed it for me... too much "real world" stuff and the fact that it's online-only. I've given some games a pass on that horrible online-requirement nonsense, only when I enjoy literally everything else about it to such a degree that I can overlook such an unfortunate flaw.... but I couldn't give this one a pass. When it is too much based on reality (*thus, no expectations of supernatural powers, aliens or ghost, vampires, mutants, zombies, time travel, portals, demons, etc. etc.) , then I probably won't ever be interested, as I've surely mentioned many times before.... quite unfortunate; there was 3 friends trying to sell me on that shit but nah... *maybe* if I got the game for free and even that's just a very bleak "maybe". ....Look at Outriders on the other hand---that game lets me do shit like slow down time itself around me, teleport or use other elemental magical powers in addition to the gunplay. Gears lets us save a world from subterranean humanoid freaks that have a similar level of tech and weaponry... Lost Planet gave us a cool grappling hook to play with as we fight alien creatures, and of course Vampyr lets me live out my fantasy of being a powerful badass vampire, Saint's Row 4 lets me super-speed run or fly around the city as the President of the U.S., saving the world from hostile aliens with my superpowers and Keith David as the VP....sheeeittt, the list goes on and on. Games that are shackled to "real-world stuff" can't even begin to compete with stuff like that, imo. It's not always the parents' fault when a kid does some stupid, horrible shit. Sometimes that kid was just seemingly destined to be a horrible person. We've all seen this early in life with our peers...with the classic example of the bullies at school, or perhaps those kids that enjoy torturing animals... I am not sure why people forget about this when they grow up. Perhaps it's something about human nature itself that is a bit too depressing and dark for most people to admit...we don't want to admit that there is such a thing as a "bad seed"... a kid who was destined to be a lowlife piece of shit that was always doomed to fail or do something horrible at some point. No, I don't believe children are all perfectly blameless "magical" creatures. Just like in teen and adult years... some people are just scum and it becomes obvious at a surprisingly early stage in life. DangerousJ, TheInfernoman, Camacho and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment

Faltimar the Dark Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) Streets of Rage 4 kinda blows. It got a lot of praise but I've played other recent titles of the same genre that are way better. Best SoR is SoR Remake. Best final fantasy is Star Ocean: The Second Story. I thought the first Ass Creed game sucked but im finna try out the last 2(?). They actually look fun.

On the nerfing thing--- that always seems silly to me... especially in a game like this with 15 difficulties if I recall?! Classic movie monster I never liked--> The Wolfman. He just looked lame and silly to me...like a guy that just has a hairy face... there's people in real life with a condition like that, where hair grows all over their face like the classic "wolfman".

It's glorious 😆 Trickster has another move that is similar to Tracer's "Recall" in Overwatch.. casting it marks that spot where you were...so during the time that skill is active, you can instantly teleport back to that spot by activating it again.

Vhozite Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Gaming unpopular opinion here but I don’t get the appeal of loot boxes. As a consumer, why would I ever pay for the mere chance of getting something I want? Unless I genuinely don’t care what I get (and at that point why buy anything?), it just seems like a complete scam. Back when I was casually into YGO I’d almost never buy packs unless there was an overwhelming chance of pulling multiple cards that I want. I would always stick to the box sets because you know exactly what you’re getting. But even then when you’re buying real life trading cards at least when you’re opening packs you can pull something that might be worth more in the future or even appreciate it as a tangible object you’ll always have. With video game loot boxes the trash items are literally worthless. Old_One, Darc_Requiem, DoctaMario and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment

If they had the option just to spend the in-game currency or real world money to get the thing they wanted, they'd rather do that.

And not have retarded pricing. Make some shit Horse armor, I don't want to play 2.99 for it. Make it free or apart of a larger pack. Cosmetic DLC could go ether way.

MillionX Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 ha, that reminds me that comic books/collectible shops back in the day did the "mystery loot-box" thing... I think sometimes they called it a "grab bag" or mystery box or something..... and I didn't like the concept back then either. Same deal... I like knowing exactly what I'm getting for the money. A box of something could end up being nothing but lame shit. (and looking back on this...you know there's no way in the world they would put actual cool stuff in there) I bought it once and never again...because OF COURSE all the comics in there were lame old shit....not even *new* lame shit. Well, at least 1 of them was a Silver Surfer comic, so that was at least something decently cool, but the rest of them were something you throw right into a dumpster. Travelling <---nope, I'm not into it. This is seemingly different from 95% of the human population, from what I see....it's especially annoying when you have family like an overbearing parent who is *constantly* harping on the idea that you should travel and go see another country and all that jazz. If I'm being 100% honest about it... then no, I'm perfectly fine right here. I may visit other cities in the U.S., but I already feel quite lucky to have been born in *modern-era USA (*ha, as opposed to old slave-time USA) in the first place. The only notable landmark that is elsewhere in the world that I have a slight interest in seeing would be the Great Pyramids in Egypt....that's seriously it. This is the modern age where we can easily see pictures and video of every other place in the world without physically being there. Yep, I realize that most people think it's a sad thing if a person spends his/her entire life in 1 city, never setting foot outside their country. To me, home is where the fun and relaxation is. I never feel like I can be in full "chill mode" if I'm somewhere else. Really, every time I've been somewhere else....even if I'm having fun at the moment... I'm also always thinking ---"...can't wait 'til I get back home...". DoctaMario and KingTubb 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Hawkingbird Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 For people who think about being vegan I always ask if they thought about being vegetarians first. Diving head first into veganism is silly as that's a difficult diet to maintain and depending on where you live might not even be available. Vegetarianism can ease you in and is more readily available. RSG3, DangerousJ, DoctaMario and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment

The thing with traveling is that I hate the getting there and getting back, the in between is awesome usually. But I get it, especially if you like sleeping in your own bed and having your stuff around it makes complete sense. Being on the road for as long as I was, I learned do the Carlin thing and pack a smaller version of my stuff and now, I could go for a week long trip with just a backpack.

I fucking HATE the actual act of traveling. I hate driving I hate being on a plane on a train on a boat But I like being on vacation or visiting somewhere new. I usually have to sit down and deal with the pit of dread I find myself in before a trip and convince myself the transit will be worth it.
