Anyway guys, SF2 is one hell of a game isn't?
Changed the arcade and home console gaming landscape for good.
As fun as it is to stir some beehives now and then, let's all realize that having different opinions can be a healthy and interesting thing.
Most of the people here are not evil or nasty people because in my experience most people aren't, wether you like em or not.
@HeadPirate Miss me with that white guild, plenty 'none white' cultures and people have been guilty of erasure of history or justification of past atrocities. There is no denying that all history is written in the blood of it's victims but no one has a monopoly of evil in this world.
@HeadPirate not all white people are American @GannonBanned hehe I honestly don't care for them I am not shocked or enamoured by them it's just a symbol from the past. In that same light most Europeans should react the same to Roman imagery but I think the Goths got over it.
@cdmac Most statues are not erected because the people were slave owners, that was merely a side of them, they were erected because of their percieved impact on society.
@cdmac So I live in a country invaded by the Germans 80 years ago, my grandfather worked in a German work camp, did this earn me the rights to be offended by swastikas?
@nessisonett It is not an oxymoron, fascism is an Italian socialist political movement from the beginning of the last century. The manifesto published in 1919 contains points as: Voting for women A minimum wage A strong progressive tax on capital And many more topics that we today find 'progressive' or have since implemented in modern society. Ofcourse the practice and reality of the movement was different from this as we so often see with idealistic movements be they 'left' or 'right' wing in nature. Marx did not invent nor had a monopoly on socialism and it's ideas.
On the Topic, I like the SF V rework better because it just has a sun using that empty space well, in the re-release it just looks like an unfinished mural.
@JammyD As a suplemental feature to play bought games on a modern smart tv without having to actually have a pc when you wanna show it to a friend etc. or you go to a hotel and you log in to your account and you can just play using a controller, it has merrit just not as a substitute to actually 'owning' games.
@Kirbo100 I am so glad I got that one for my birthday around it's release it is a great adventure, it is my first dragon quest game I ever played and together with DQ XI one of my fav Jrpg's
@Yosher The second part of the clip ties in to Sealab 2021. which is parody of the Hanna Barbera show Sealab 2020, in the vain of Space ghost coast to coast and Harvey Birdman attorney at law.
There is a character that looks like Link from the show but is also a reference to wesley from startrek (I think)
I never traded in or lost a game in my life
I have all the boxes and manuals of the games I aquired that way.
Edit: ok I lost a few games, my baldurs gate collection and Golden sun Cart I lend to a friend and then his bag got stolen. He never took the trouble to replace it either, I haven't spoken to him in a decade or so.
@Dazzle The only limit in 2D graphics is the planes of movement, artisticly speaking you can go all out, but yeah the obsession with 'retro' graphics limits desigsn, if you take the pixel art of Slain and Valfaris then you will see that artisticly speaking there is no limit.
@ComradeThom So it's a discriptive term derived from an old english word that describes it as it is. Honestly, disabled sounds more negative to me than cripple. We all have 'lived experiences' about a many things but we shouldn't let them eh, disabled? our way forward... Tom McDonald said it best, we can fill our graves with the stones that they throw or build our castles with sticks and the stones.
This game certainly draws an interesting crowd. For me personally this game looked uninteresting, Tumblr. style game with a bit of pandering to certain groups.
I like it as a fan art, the lines and colours are a bit too sharp for SNK and specially Garou. The overall design of the characters is fine and I think the background could work. But if I'd make a pick I'd have Arc system works and SNK team up for a MotW 2
Can't say that I have heard of him but I might have read his work over the years. May he report to Iwata that Nintendo is doing fine right now when they meet in the afterlife.
@Losermagnet It's not censorship to me it feels more like lazy writing to avoid backlash instead of rewriting lines proper so the jokes still have some edge to them. I know S&M is not South Park but these characters are far from tame.
@N00BiSH MySpace might not be relevant but people pretending on the internet still is and the notion that greown men pretend to be younggurls is more absurd than, just trolls.
@HotGoomba___Rebrand I have been reading some examples of the changed jokes, but they are worse, some not even funny. for example Original dialogue: It’s ’cause everyone on the internet has to pick an avatar, like a dwarf or an orc or an hot young fifteen-year- old girl curious about the adult world and willing to experiment. New Dialogue: It’s cause everyone on the internet has to pick an avatar, like a dwarf or an orc or a troll… But we’ve got enough trolls.
Could've been easily rewritten as: t’s ’cause everyone on the internet has to pick an avatar, like a dwarf or an orc or a fifteen-year- old girl curious about the world. Leaving the punchline in tact, less rauchy but just as suggestive. Instead of that limp wristed slappy palm slap. Was thinking about buying this but I'll stick to the original then ty.
@BrintaPap Niemand de deur uit zonder Brinta. You are right Nvidia has been resting on their laurels too long, same as Intel and allowed AMD to gain a lot of ground, which is good. they need the competition.
Was browsing discounts, found Abzü for 2 euro, for that money it's an absolute steal, it's a short and linear experience but it's quite beautiful to behold.
As for Trump, I don't get the hate, I get that people hate him and for some reasons rightfully so but even son of a Bush wasn't this rediculed and Dems are not doing too hot either from where I am standin' so it's politics as usual, nothing new under the sun and all that.
@Rambler If mario doesn't rescue peach then bowser will take over the mushroom kingdom and try to get mario's attention because beating his eternal rival is more important than ruling over the mushroom kingdom. If you ever played a mario game you would know bowser is a buffoon so that scenario is propably comical.
I have a hardtime picking a favorite Nintendo handheld system, they all have great games but the 3DS was most unique while some found the 3D to be gimmicky I cannot play the sega 3D classic arcade remakes without 3D enabled on the New 3DS. It is such a great experience to see actual depth in a game world. But even without 3D the games on 3DS stand on their own.
The game is fine but it misses a certain charm the original 2 games had, it's a bit too bright and shiny compared to the original but it was mostly made or restore the brand a bit. I would gladly pay for a double pack of the original 2 games for the switch.
