Re: 30 Years Ago, The Grandfather Of Game Journalism Told 2D Fighting Game Fans To "Get A Life"

love this overly in your face unhinged era of gaming magazines so much, every article and advertisement and review was like "HEY WORMSUCKER!!!!!! YOU'RE STUPID, GO SUCK UP AND SQUAREDANCE WITH YOUR GRANNY WHILE CRYING ON PROM NIGHT IF YOU DON'T WANNA PLAY HAMMERIN' HARRY ON THE GAME BOY, GET N OR GET TO SUCKING KITTY LITTER ON THE KINDERGARTEN BUS!!!!!!" it's so earnest and charming to me lmao.

@RextheSheep oh no worries I have no doubt there are good sides of it and that it’s not all bad, I’m mainly saying this because of the people who let their love for retro games cloud their judgement for this kinda crap XD. Also I feel ya two on the getting screwed over by companies as someone who had to put up with strictly limited and the bullsh1t they pulled for the Turrican Anthologies💀

@slider1983 that may have been the intention behind Paprium but between the game taking 10 years to come out, people not getting their cartridges even now, Fons constantly going on psychotic Joker mental breakdowns online, and the EXHORBENT price tag the game has ESPECIALLY if trying to buy it second hand completely ruin the whole thing. Why should I give this game and it’s horrible creator my money when I could get streets of rage 1-3, final fight cd, hyperstone heist, golden axe, and SO many more on the same console for (mostly) 5x less the price? Not to mention all the AMAZING modern beat em’ ups nowadays like streets of rage 4 and shredder’s revenge that similarly cost less too.

This BS is why i ALWAYS choose emulation rather than giving these psychos my money. Theyre all just a bunch of sick in the head grifters who view old video games as some bizzare get-rich-quick scheme rather than as the cherishable pieces of art they are, and it blows up in their face spectacularly. We saw it with Paprium, we saw it with SuperSega, we saw it with Strictly Limited games, we saw it with Piko interactive, and we’ll continue to see it until the end of time. Idc about the “physical authenticity” if I have to obtain said authenticity by forking 80-100 bucks over to an irl Silent Hill villain who likely won’t even deliver on their promises, it’s just not worth it to me.

Re: WaterMelon Insists Its Terminally Delayed Brawler Paprium Isn't Dead

PinballBuzzbro

Even if it isn’t dead there’s no reason to be interested in this game. It’s just a bog standard beat em up that does nothing to push the genre forward and is headed by one of the biggest clinical psychopaths in the gaming industry, that’s not even mentioning the ludicrous price tag attatched to the thing and the near decade long wait for ppl to even GET their cartridges. Dont see why I should give this my time of day when infinitely better games like streets of rage 4, shredders revenge, fight’n’rage, final vendetta and all the countless openBOR projects exist, not to mention all the sega genesis homebrew projects that ARENT complete dumpster fires for WAAAAYYYYY less.

Re: Talking Point: Is There A Home Port You Prefer To The Arcade Original?

@NinChocolate The Genesis version of caveman ninja is better too since it maintains the ghouls and ghosts styled gameplay of the arcade game making for a more faithful experience than the snes one, but also gets rid of the god-awful adventure island styled hunger system that completely ruined the flow of the coin-op original, thank god😵‍💫

Re: The Genesis Just "Broke Another Myth" By Replicating Classic Castlevania Tunes

PinballBuzzbro

@GhaleonUnlimited Exactly! It’s why it frustrates me when people say the genesis was the best console for beat em ups purely for streets of rage and refuse to look at any other brawler that ISNT bare knuckle or final fight, there’s a really huge problem with shortsighted preferences in online gaming discussion and it’s always frustrated me, lol.

Re: Talking Point: Is There A Home Port You Prefer To The Arcade Original?

Salamander and gradius 2 on the pc engine, for having better sound, an actual reasonable difficulty with the ability to continue, and extra content like adjustable options and an extra stage in the latter port. The sega cd version of final fight too for toning down the bs enemy ai of the original game and having less overwhelming waves of enemies, as well as having a more pleasing warm color palette and the obviously amazing redbook audio.
I think the best one tho has GOT to be double dragon 2 both on pc engine and nes. The og arcade game is just a weak retooling of the og game with weird level themeing, whereas the console versions(barring Genesis LMFAO) turn it into a completely different and fantastic game with great visuals for their systems, fun intuitive combat and pretty good level variety, especially with the pseudo-platforming stages in the nes game. AND, both games still keep in the good elements from the arcade game, like the creepy shadow self boss fight, the surprisingly dark story, and the lovably goofy boss characters like Burnov and the overweight Terminator lol.

Re: Valve's Unshackling Of SteamOS Could Give Switch 2 Some Welcome Competition

PinballBuzzbro

Literally the ONLY thing Switch has going for it anymore in terms of actual games is the stuff Nintendo themselves puts out imo. Everything else is either better on other platforms or is slop like “kids puzzle boobplooza hentai girl waifu puzzle” with ai generated artwork used for the store icon. There are barely ANY non-Nintendo developed Switch exclusive games, and even FEWER that aren’t some of the most miserable gaming experiences ever, lol.

Re: Fan Game 'DC Task Force' Features 82 Different Playable Superheroes And Is Free To Download

@calbeau as someone whos played a ton of vitors games, don't worry, its not as bad as it sounds. His games are essentially streets of rage 2 brawlers with simple levels that focus on including a ton of villains as midbosses, and the large cast plays fairly similar to eachother like in a typical brawler, think those lego dc games where the large casts all play mainly the same and its moreso just about playing as ur fav character!
