I thought everybody just bought the PS2 version because Capcom announced it several months before the Gamecube version launched. Even though the PS2 version ran like poo poo.

Borderlands and Dark Souls however are both incredibly successful original IPs from the last 5 years that have appeared on every major platform except Nintendo's so I dunno if this post is very convincing.
not really with dark souls, i mean the souls series is just the spiritual continuation of the old playstation series kings field which From software also made

Also, Transistor is apparently a remake of Bastion, which is news to a lot of us.

I was unaware that 1990 was less than 20 years earlier than 2014. Must be that Nintendo math that makes 3 rehashes equal ten games worth the price of admission.


There's promo art put out by Rare of Banjo and Kazooie with the characters from Viva Pinata and Killer Instinct. We gonna claim those are the same games?

The PS2 version was poo poo so everybody in uni got it for gamecube. The PS2 version was all prerendered lowres cutscenes too, instead of your business suit or whatever you had equipped.

The points can take a day or two to show up. If it's been longer than that I'm not sure. It only works for purchases made from a Wii U Deluxe version.

I kinda want Mirrors Edge 2 and couldn't give a poo poo about battlefield but I have a feeling they're going to gently caress it up with guns.

Then again if it has guns it could be a great Phantom 2040 simulator.

Does anyone realize almost all games are pretty drat similar to other ones and Nintendo isn't the only company guilty of it or is it just me because it seems like a lot of people are huge idiots about that kind of thing. You would think all the other game consoles besides the Wii U have brand new genres being created for them nonstop going by how most of these morons act. If you changed Mario to a guy with a beard and named it Laser Beam but kept everything the same everyone would say FINALLY A BRAND NEW GAME FROM NINTENDO

Kingdom Hearts 3 is never actually happening though. You might have well said The Last Guardian or Santa's Golden Egg Laying Cockatrice or something.

Fulchrum posted:

Well, I could point out you're comparing the peak results of the Dreamcasts established hardware versus the new hardware of the Ps2, but I was talking more in terms of gameplay. The Ps2 was when games made the true transition from an attempted emulation of the console experience to a more fully realised idea of console games as an experience meant not just to amuse, but to really sink ones teeth into. Lets compare the way the two consoles approached puzzle games. The Dreamcast gives us Chu Chu Rocket - colourful, simple, cartoony. Gaming equivalent of candy. The Ps2 gives us Ico. Artistic, hauntingly beautiful, impactful in the way no game before it could have been. Gamings ambrosia.

i finally sat down and read this post and holy loving poo poo lmao
