Halo Combat Evolved, Final Mission? BY YOURSELF

Race a dune buggy with wavy and floatily controls on a set timer with explosion's and enemies firing all over the place and make it to the final jump on time even after your go through all those swarms or enemies called the Flood Levels, in which are Not made up of water but The Flood was a name for a zombie like enemy that can come back to life after you kill them, and then after dealing with the flood levels through in a timed mission where it would make any racing game fan scream, bloody murder and throw their controller against the wall, but I've actually beaten Halo: Combat Evolved multiple times on the easiest setting but it's leaves me cussing every time

Was easy, beat it when I was 7. Halo 3 flood level was much worse, or the ship level in halo 2 on legendary felt almost impossible.

General / Re: Video Game Collecting Dying Thoughts?

« on: April 20, 2021, 07:03:58 pm »

With the retro games being bought up by the masses and the modern gaming industry pushing all digital, what do you think will become of VGCOllect? I think if things keep going like they are today they will be nothing left, unless some new console replaces the modern stuff. I would not mind digital only games if there was a way I could keep and play the ones I bought for as long as I want to. But that is not the case.

VGCollect is explicitly not a physical only database.  It is a database for individual titles and for people to track them - regardless of the platform or medium.  You've made it clear that you don't utilize the site like anyone else.  This site will be fine.

I keep my PS3 and my Xbox360 offline because of this thought and I think we should all turn off our WIFI on our 7th generation video game consoles.

 

If SONY ever does not remotely disable my PS3 somehow. If they do I hope to God they just die of the freking COVID 19, I don't care about them now. I have a whole collection of PS1 games I use my PS3 for and when if I somehow can't play them on my PS3 anymore I'll be pissed because I too would have purchased a whole entire collection of useless shit. And SONY is not even releasing a lot of games I got on their store front. Anyone reading this don't buy the PS5 fuck that shit

The PS5 is going to play PS4 and PS5 games so soon you will not be able to use your PS4 anymore excpect maybe Bluray movies

Ps4 owners might have it rougher though even your physical games will be unplayable when that ps4 internal clock runs dry

https://in.ign.com/ps3/156762/news/ps3-drm-kills-digital-games-ps4-discs-report

If I'm not mistaken ps5 has that same system. I think there will be solutions for this problem for collectors and such but for the masses who owned such consoles it will be paper weight to much of a hassle. ticking time bombs, was this done on purpose to remove people from their older consoles? because it would definitely work for majority of the consumer base and they would probably not give a flying fuck cause of newer gens and because the console was probably going to die at some point anyway

I hope switch and wii u don't have that many issues considering it's allot less online heavy than microsoft or sony.

You don't to have wait long on that one with the PS3. Just till the end of this year probably.

Classic Video Games / Re: SNES vs Sega Genesis Observation

Only RPGs? I don't even own a lot of RPGs on my SNES. It also has great platformers, beat-em ups, and fighting games.

All-time classics like Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World, Star Fox, Super Mario Kart, Sim City, Wolfenstein 3D, Contra III, Castlevania IV, Turtles in Time, Mega Man X, Super Turrican.

None of those are RPGs.

We don't talk about Wolfenstein 3D.  And you do know like 90% of the games you've just mentioned now are literally Nintendo franchises? or cucked Nintendo 2nd party franchises? As for the ones that are not, they're also on Genesis or at least  I found more fun on the NES to play than it's SNES upgrades.

As for castlevania? Rather play it on NES or Genesis. Or even better Rondo of blood on the pc engine not touching that shitty SNES port or whatever you want to call it. Same for Contra it didn't have those terrible 3D sections nearly as much.

Mario kart and star fox? I don't think anyone would touch them these days unless nostalgic, they were a big deal back then tech wise sure even though we had virtua racing on Genesis besides the point. Literally they're 1000x better on N64 and the subsequent upgrades on the newer hardware's these franchises.

Fighting games? Sure. Mortal Kombat 2 and street fighter 2 are debatably better on SNES compared to the pc engine and Genesis even with the poor controller not suitable for fighting games compared to the 6 button controller of the pc engine and genesis, but even if it were true? So what? It's an inferior port compared to the arcade perfect ports we have today of those games or the saturn port of street fighter 2 a few years later. There's little reason to revisit it.

The SNES isn't a bad console or anything and there's a few gems even the Atari Jaguar and 32x has it's gems but they can't escape the self imposed stigma that none of you likely will bat an eye at. In the same way that you think I'm imposing on the SNES in the opposite way, of what is status quo zeitgeist when it comes to the SNES.

I just don't think it deserves the overwhelming hype it gets with the same old 1st party Nintendo franchises that are not bad per say, but being pushed over and over again in the present gaming sphere compared to what the pc engine and Genesis offered back then. I don't want to say americans are indoctrinated when it comes to the Nintendo brand you definably have those types in europe with some countries that Nintendo got a hold on. But I can't help but feel it to some degree overhyping Nintendo.

I found the 1st and 2nd party games more enjoyable on Genesis and the NES. If it's castlevania, ninja gaiden, contra or mega man, or the main nintendo franchises.

Y'all going around and around about SNES and Genesis like a bunch of mouth breathin' jackalopes trying to figure which was better when the answer is clearly neither. A lot of you never experienced the greatness that is the Turbografx and it shows! 

Jokes aside, I'm a both systems guy. Each system scratches an itch the other cannot (at least for me). 

Hey the Turbografx deserves to be remembered jokes aside or not. The street fighter 2 port is good. There was a lot of reasons it failed in the west but I can't help but feel the Nintendo fever played a part in it.

There's always been more games I've liked on SNES.  Genesis has some good games for sure, but stuff like Sonic, that gameplay has not aged well to me I found after playing Sonic Mania and there isn't as much I'm interested in having for it, though there are a few for sure like Gunstar Heroes and a couple others.

I loved Sonic Mania. Felt just like a Genesis Sonic title with just as great quality.

I just realized I hate that old Sonic gameplay at a certain point in my life.  Visually, musically, Sonic is awesome, always has been, but his gameplay is just a lot of running into stuff you'll never know is coming, with occasional bouts of platforming strewn throughout.  It was made more tolerable with Sonic Generations, where they zoomed the game out for Sonic classic, it helps, but otherwise I am just not into it.

Same.  I even tried Sonic Mania and had the exact same frustrations - even if it was a a more polished version of those older games.  Just does not work for me at all.

The SNES is kind of kiddy console compared to the Genesis/Megadrive.

There's not much for someone outside Jrpgs, and the main Nintendo franchises if you don't care for those.

I think most of the older franchises played and felt better on the NES to be honest.

Truth.

Another cultured individual

If where talking nes > snes

I've heard people who prefer the nes era. They didn't like the more cartoony look of the snes but there are probably multiple reasons aside from the looks to prefer the nes if where talking for example gameplay

This is just a bonkers take to me.  I love the NES, but anything it can do the SNES does better.. Especially gameplay.

And if we are comparing SNES to Genesis?  Most the dual platform games are better on the SNES (your occasional Aladdin not withstanding), but to say it only has first party games and RPGs?  Buh?  Huh?  The Super Star Wars Trilogy, Earthworm Jim, Rock n' Roll Racing, the Mega Man X trilogy, TMNT IV, Contra, ActRaiser, and so many more.  And discounting first-party titles when that literally has gems of pretty much every genre?  That's a very broad dismissive statement.

You know a lot of those games are on Genesis as well right? They were sometimes better on the SNES but not to the point that I would justify owning the console as definitive. I said "there's not much" Not it's "none existent" And Man, not everyone is into 1st party nintendo franchises or enjoys them, why is this so hard to accept?

Mega man X is respectful entry but as I said I honestly found the original capcom/konami franchises more enjoyable on the NES or better on Genesis. Same as the rest of the 1st party and "3rd" party franchises that are better known/associated with Nintendo.  The SNES just seems like a HD upgrade of the NES just HD 2D upgrade rather than the HD 3D of the later generations.

@oldgamerz

I don't know about that. The N64, dreamcast, and xbox is a ghost town for releases over there. I know they didn't do well but they didn't even bother to release much western stuff on it. It's better to be a western gamer we got the best of both worlds, just deprived of some JRPGS, dating sims/VNS, and a handful of shoot em ups.

I'm asking your opinions & from your experiences because of Puritans,normies,sjws/npcs & feminists,the censors,people who support censorships,the mainstream & the mainstream media & I'm asking due to what us otakus,weebs,gamers,final fantasy fan/huge fans & hentai fans,our Japanese otaku brothers,our Japanese otaku sisters,our Japanese gamers & our communities going through,dealing with & had to deal with.

Just curious & yes I'm including due to what us fan/huge fans of Japanese games going through,dealing with & had to deal with I had to ask sorry. I guess I will end it here or at least for now & yes I'm mainly asking about us true fan/huge fans & true gamers if Japanese gamers hate us American gamers or not in your opinions & from your experiences .

These days the playstation brand is heavily censored in Japan and considered a secondary market these days. There was a stigma against american made games in the 80's and 90's over there but that outlook is changing these days.

Classic Video Games / Re: GameCube games worth getting for cheap

« on: February 22, 2021, 11:40:19 pm »

Seeing as most GCN games are also on the PS2 and Xbox, it's preferable to get them for those consoles instead for far cheaper, and just get whatever happens to be exclusive to the console.

Aside from Die Hard Vendetta, a few other games I would recommend:
Conflict: Desert Storm ($8-$10 - also on PS2 and Xbox, but the one for GCN is the better version)
Odama ($10-$14)
Evolution Worlds ($15-20)
Mega Man Network Transmission ($25-$30)
Geist ($25-$30)

Turok is 60fps as well on gamecube compared to the ps2 and xbox.

I don't think COVID has really hurt everybody of a certain class. Nobody that I know personally has fallen on hard times because of the virus. Everyone admits to not needing the checks, and just using them as play money. Depends on what industry you are in I guess, and whether or not you have kids, because babysitting can be very costly when schools are shut down.

Someone who can afford 1000s of new video games I'd imagine No, their class is not hurt.
