Unrelated, I'm watching a Longplay of the T2 arcade game and man this game is terrible. I always thought the original Arcade was good and LJN just hosed up the home ports but nope the Arcade is just overflowing with quarter devouring unfun bullshit.

You which one is just unfun bullshit? the Terminator game for GB. No continues whatsoever. Sure it's short but goddamn is that game bullshit.

Also up there with the first Terminator game for the NES.

I've never actually played it but Bethesda made an open-world Terminator game in 1990 that sounds awesome.

quote:

Gameplay is similar to modern Grand Theft Auto style games; the player basically runs around shooting anyone in sight, stealing cars, and breaking into various buildings to steal supplies.

Following the storyline, you either take on the role of Kyle Reese and protect Sarah Connor from the cyborg sent back in time to kill her, or become the Terminator and eliminate Kyle and Sarah. Either way, the player chases his opponent through Los Angeles buying or stealing weapons and equipment while attempting to eliminate his enemy and avoid the police.

Well all of them really. I just remembered the actual Arcade game being fun but like everything after the second stage is just designed to take quarters rather than be fun. If anything it's worse than the console version because there are more horrible stages and even more stuff on the screen at the same time. like you thought the protect the truck stage was bad on console? Well have twice as much stuff trying to destroy that truck. Later in there is a worse version of that stage. Also, while it doesn't prevent you from going forward if you fail like the protection stages, the Cyberdyne stage is even harder to actually 100% and like in the console, you don't 100% it? Bad ending!

The Division is a video game about a terrorist organization that releases a biological agent that forces all of Manhattan to go under quarantine to stop its spread. Telling me, a guy with brown skin, that maybe I could play as the bad guys aka the terrorists felt like a metaphor.

I guess that's not what you meant. But I don't understand why you think the good guys can't have a tan skin color and that's reserved only to the bad guys?

Granted I will admit I cheated on that because of AVGN, but goddamn the soundtrack is awesome.

Also I just don't think there is any good Terminator games at all. I tried one of the games in Dave and Busters (adults chuckie cheese basically) and it was Terminator Salvation. Granted mostly because how of heavy the drat light ak 47 gun was to shoot with.

I remember there being a PS2 Terminator game that was alright but yeah no one has really done that series justice. The Sega CD one isn't awful but outside it being the first game ever to have a soundtrack featuring actual electric guitar, it's a pretty unremarkable game.

someone complains that u cant pick a non-black brown skin colour in the game and u post "Maybe when they release a major dlc for the division you'll be able to play as the bad guys" directly after them when no one was talking about playing as bad guys or dlc or anything other than being able to play as someone with brown/tan skin tone and ur trying to play it off like this. what a bad look.

I honestly didn't even know there were terrorists in the game, I thought it was all looters, crazed CDC people, and a PMC. I guess I should have assumed that there would be terrorists in a Tom Clancy game.

Okay so I recall a goon thread from awhile ago about a game which was stated as something of a spiritual successor to the Suikoden series. Given that I'm replaying that series currently I could go for something once I finished that's in the same wheelhouse. Damned if I can remember what the game was though. Was hoping some goon in here might know what I'm talking about? I recall that it was a PC game, and I'm reasonably sure it was/is free.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


I tested Terminator Salvation and that game was the boringest cover based shooter ever and had to take out a really awesome boss fight because the guy making the movie threw a tantrum about the boss fight ruining his movie's continuity.

The game also had a better plot than the movie despite having a really bad plot.

I'm not sure if I'd call it racism, but it does seem poor planning and a general inattention to detail to have only three pre-selected shades to skin tone or whatver it is you guys are bitching about.

Even Salt and Sanctuary, with its rear end ugly character models, still lets me be all the races, including black, less black, more eskimo, and zombie.

As far as I know there's no real way to map out game releases like you can with film, other than that Christmas season is generally when "blockbusters" come out.

It's racism to me because it's my skin tone that's been left out. Don't get me wrong, I'm used to this. There's only a few characters I can relate to like Dhalsim (or TellTale's Walking Dead 2 at which point they legit made one of the first south asian actors a decent side character), I get that it's going to be a long time till I see a protagonist with my skin tone (There's also prince of persia).

But poo poo, you'd expect that a big budget game with a character creator would let you create brown people. It is poor planning and it is a general inattention to detail, and it is racist because they neglected such a large demographic and just never noticed. That kind of ignorance is hard to pass off as just incompetence. It'd be like walking by a homeless person all the time and just never helping them out because you never really thought about them. Sure, you're ignorant of their plight, but you're also a huge dick.

The Division doesn't have to include my skin tone in the game, But it's hosed up that they forgot.

What are you even booing here?

I mean all sarcastic joking aside the skin tone choice in any game should be one of those color sliders where you can be bright loving green if you so desire and limiting it is really stupid.
