It took Sega a looong time to get back to a great spot like it is today. The massive brain drain caused by dropping out meant Sega had to go through a period of lesser quality before being able to re-establish itself as a top dog again.
MS repositioning itself in the gaming market could potentially have similar consequences. Imagine MS not wanting to invest in new developments and just have a million rotting IPs in the stable. Not that farfetched of an idea
@McShifty1984 one of the most influential games of all time. Like many other games that are considered "the best" it has been surpassed, but doesn't make it any less of an achievement, and it's still a great time today.
@Chinesus he just wanted a girl running around in a bikini, it’s not that deep. Maybe not to the enjoyment of anyone else, but wouldn’t assume someone is a sexpest for what he does in a video game (what would that make of Rockstar creating GTA)
PS: even tho I disagree with your opinion, I understand and respect it
There is a common misconception that the PS2 was much more powerful than the Dreamcast, when in reality both played different strengths. I always wonder how games could’ve looked on the Dreamcast after 5-6 years into the console
Lots of folk will say 98, but i think 99 really ironed out the kinks.
Of course from a technical point of view the “best” would be a modern one. But personally I really loved 99 and still find worth in playing it sometimes
@TheGrizMan i guess you misunderstood. Not defending anyone. Stating not everyone agrees with you and no need to be a duck about it. Everyone enjoys different games, even reviewers
@TheGrizMan respecting different opinions goes a long way. I’m glad a lot of people feel strongly about this game, but I’m not one of you guys either. Gotta agree with Geoff on this one

Re: Flashback: When Hideo Kojima Argued Over Policenauts' Bouncing Boobs With Sony
@Chinesus I don’t think you read the article. The point is that it was a silly concern from Sony, not that he was a “sexpest” (for liking boobs?)

Re: Poll: Which FIFA Is Best?
@TheIronChimp completely forgot about the indoor mode. Such a shame they took it out.
Volta in modern Fifa is pretty close tho
