Classic Ken moment, love the guy

@CO_Andy i have no problem with respecting anyone. This isn’t about respect. I simply expressed my opinion, and you insist on being rude.

I think you’re wrong. If you can’t deal with that it’s on you

@CO_Andy thanks for your opinion, please be more respectful next time. You don’t know me

@Daniel36 “what would be better?” The original, definitely. The idea that a localiser can “improve” the game is poison. At most they can make the translation unobtrusive.

Never understood the point of localisations. Translations are 100% superior.

I’d rather have my own interpretation of why something is written in a certain way, than have some pretentious doofus showing me his own vision of what the author meant

@-wc- can't be that old, i'm a millennial as well ahah
i've been a lifelong SEGA fan, so i understand what you mean. This isn't Sega Enterprises anymore.

Still, the Atlus RPGs are great, RGG (Yakuza) games are awesome, and even Sonic has come back around. So Sega's in a pretty good spot right now, even for old fans like us imo

@-wc- firstly, RGG is a Sega-made studio. Secondly, Atlus has been a Sega-owned studio for over 10 years, and the games have improved massively in quality and popularity ever since.

Let’s not kid ourselves, if Atlus was underperforming Sega would take the blame, so denying them credit over an excellent job over 10 years is petty

@-wc- weird timing to say this when there’s a Sega game as GOTY contender. Along with a bunch of highly rated popular Sega games released the past couple years

@Ristar24 even this same game was censored on the original home release, that’s not the point.
The point is why would you censor it nowadays at all in such minute capacity

If it shouldn’t bother anyone because it’s a small change, why did it bother them to commission two different versions in the first place?

There is no defending this. If the argument for it is “why do you even care?”, then there is no argument at all

@KitsuneNight That's fair. I agree the old designs weren't great either. It's not a character i have ever found appealing, and this redesign won't change my mind :/
But i'm glad other people enjoy it

@KitsuneNight @LadyCharlie
You're both implying i said she wasn't a woman. She is very obviously a woman. I said she doesn't look feminine because of her huge chin, and i don't think the character looks as nice because of it.

Not all feminine looking women are super-models either. You're probably assuming i share the same views of the knuckleheads mentioned in the article. I don't. Doesn't make it obligatory to think the character looks good. Don't think she does, she looks manly now

Never liked her designs. But she looks like a man now. Not very feminine, which was one of the appeals of the character. She’s no longer a femme fatale with that jaw line.

The name is irrelevant. People are just upset they paid more for the same thing

That’s a funny way of killing your product

Unfortunately it doesn’t fix that it’s a very uncomfortable system to play for any prolonged amount of time :/

It took Sega a looong time to get back to a great spot like it is today. The massive brain drain caused by dropping out meant Sega had to go through a period of lesser quality before being able to re-establish itself as a top dog again.

MS repositioning itself in the gaming market could potentially have similar consequences. Imagine MS not wanting to invest in new developments and just have a million rotting IPs in the stable. Not that farfetched of an idea

@Poodlestargenerica what are you on about, European consoles also had the Sega logo right on the front

@McShifty1984 one of the most influential games of all time. Like many other games that are considered "the best" it has been surpassed, but doesn't make it any less of an achievement, and it's still a great time today.

@Chinesus he just wanted a girl running around in a bikini, it’s not that deep. Maybe not to the enjoyment of anyone else, but wouldn’t assume someone is a sexpest for what he does in a video game (what would that make of Rockstar creating GTA)

PS: even tho I disagree with your opinion, I understand and respect it

@Chinesus I don’t think you read the article. The point is that it was a silly concern from Sony, not that he was a “sexpest” (for liking boobs?)

@EarthboundBenjy that means you only played the first one

Great read. Had no idea about this!

Sorry bros i just voted 10 on all of them xD
Wipeout 3 and Pure are my all time favorites

Could also include Shenmue for fun

@calbeau it was on every commercial. The Sega chant you’re mentioning was only present in Sonic games

There is a common misconception that the PS2 was much more powerful than the Dreamcast, when in reality both played different strengths. I always wonder how games could’ve looked on the Dreamcast after 5-6 years into the console

That’s pretty funny

Not Gizmondo for sure

Persona 5 for me, and a bit of MGS2

This is absolutely appalling. Can’t believe thieves easily get away with this

This is a wonderful story, thank you for sharing. These people shaped gaming as we know it

Used to play this all the time on the gameboy. Great fun at the time, might check this out

Just the daily dose of people believing internet clout is worth anything in the real world (it isn’t)

@TheIronChimp completely forgot about the indoor mode. Such a shame they took it out.
Volta in modern Fifa is pretty close tho

Lots of folk will say 98, but i think 99 really ironed out the kinks.

Of course from a technical point of view the “best” would be a modern one. But personally I really loved 99 and still find worth in playing it sometimes

@TheGrizMan i guess you misunderstood. Not defending anyone. Stating not everyone agrees with you and no need to be a duck about it. Everyone enjoys different games, even reviewers

@TheGrizMan respecting different opinions goes a long way.
I’m glad a lot of people feel strongly about this game, but I’m not one of you guys either. Gotta agree with Geoff on this one
