I think the reason I could never agree with “Sunshine is a lesser Mario game” people has to do less with the game itself and more to do with that specific event. Swimming around the reef in Gelato Beach while swimming around irl is a pristine gamer memory

The dog would also be in the pool, wearing sunglasses, floating in a big rubber duck inner tube.

I played this & all the sequels while everyone mocked & talked poo poo about the musou genre for 20 years. Now look at you. Oh you finally realized it's just 3d diablo and is sick as gently caress? Oh you like it now that Link is the Main Character? You are the first corpses amongst my pile. Die.

Dynasty Warriors made me a Three Kingdoms head and is why I have this username. Thank you, Musou.

i'd forgotten dynasty warriors goes back that far somehow, but then i remembered that i used screenshots for some Community-esque "bring greek myths into the modern age" project in college because i really wanted to play a trojan war version where musou mode was divine rage for some reason.

My og PS2 lasted maybe two years and would no longer load games past the title screen. Didn't matter what game, or what controller I was using. I could even go into the options menus, but not start the game.

tao of lmao posted:my ps2 was a beast that eventually would only spin a disc if the whole system was upside down Mine got to the point where it could only be used for 90 minutes at a time and would malfunction if it stayed on longer. I could watch movies as long as they were under 90 minutes. I probably should've had it fixed but I traded it for a slim. I got mine around March 2001. I think the first game I played on it was a rented Star Wars Starfighter. The DVD-playing ability was such a huge deal at the time and probably why mine wore out; I probably used it for movies as much as games.

Yeah a DVD player on its own cost about as much (or even more) than a PS2 for those first couple years so it was basically no contest.

I bought my PS2 at a Japanese import game shop because the guy behind the counter assured me that it wasn't region locked and it would play anything. It would be about a year before I could mod it to play US games, but I got pretty good at street fighter ex 3

Mine was the 1998 Matthew Broderick Godzilla lol. I got it, an OG Xbox, the dvd remote thing that goes with the Xbox, and a copy of the first Splinter Cell for the most epic birthday I’ve ever had. No idea how my parents afforded it since my mom was working at Best Buy and my dad was an enlisted grunt in the Air Force. Parents ftw. Apparently the movie is complete dogshit but I loved it as an 10 year old or w/e so I’m never going to rewatch it and taint the memories

Same, it was my intro to Godzilla and I loved how effortlessly Godzilla trounced the military until the jets took them out. Then in, like 5th grade, a dude I was buddies with showed me Godzilla 1984 and was like "Dude check this one out, not even the jets can stop him in this one" and 10 year old me was immediately hyped.
