Re: 30 Years Ago, The Grandfather Of Game Journalism Told 2D Fighting Game Fans To "Get A Life"

In a way, he's not wrong. But the same could be said for gaming overall. What real life skills are any of us leaning by gaming? How much time of our lives have we invested into this entertainment medium? Ahh, but that's it, isn't it? I'm not looking to learn any skills while gaming. I'm looking for entertainment. For me, as long as I'm entertained by gaming, I'm satisfied. Now, there has to be a balance though. If gaming has become an addiction and you don't function as an adult because of it, that's a problem. In that case though you need to move on from gaming and, as he says, grow up. Life moves fast. Before you know it you'll be in your 50s. You don't want to be there, looking back at your life saying, "What have I done with my life besides sit in front of a screen?". Just food for thought.

Re: Anniversary: Panzer Dragoon Turns 30 Today

@Ristar24 I never played Panzer Dragoon back in the day. My 16 year old brain just didn't get the point as I was huge into MK and my love for racing games was beginning to blossom. As an adult the remake brought me to the series and I loved it. I've gone on to buy a Saturn and both of the main line games (RPG is just cost prohibitive). I'm honestly curious, what were your issues with the remake? I think I recall it not being well received by everyone but I don't remember why.

Re: Virtua Fighter 2 Is Getting A Physical Release On Xbox

Masacheez

@Daze_of_Reality I'm going to assume that this is probably just because it's already been ported to the Xbox 360 which I dount requires a lot of work to get it working on the Xbox One or Xbox Series. As for why it didn't come to PS4/5 is kind of a good question though considering it was on PS3.

Re: I Just Reshelled My Dreamcast, And You Should Too

Not saying any of this is wrong. At all. That's a super, super cool shell. But I'm of a different mindset here. I love my stock white DC and plan to keep it that way as long as possible. I love being able to play physical media and light gun games on my CRT. Just my opinion and I know my opinion is just that, my opinion.

Re: How X8's Contra: Super Wall Storm Is Taking Konami's Series Into The Realm Of VR

Masacheez

So take Halo, use Contra-ish assets and sounds and call it Contra in VR. Got it. I say this as someone who considers Contra on the NES to be in their top 5 most favorite games to play,. To this day as a matter of fact I continue to pick it up and play it. I also bought the physical release of Operation Galuga and enjoyed it. This though.... kind of looking meh but it's also not for me because I don't have a VR headset nor do I have any intention of buying one ever.
