Re: Nintendo Locking A Screen Filter Behind A Console Upgrade Hasn't Gone Down Well With Everyone

I swear every day that passes I feel more and more assured to NOT get the Switch 2 lmao

I think this is fair seeing how intensive these filters can get but all the other horse$#|¥ they’ve been pulling like refusing to credit anyone who works on their projects in end-credits, suing people for being inspired by them, charging money for console tutorial software and making us pay 70-80$ for games even though they aren’t impacted by tariffs anymore is a different story. Someone needs to drop Doug into a cartoonishly red pit of lava over a bridge like the REAL Bowser at this point 💀.

love this overly in your face unhinged era of gaming magazines so much, every article and advertisement and review was like "HEY WORMSUCKER!!!!!! YOU'RE STUPID, GO SUCK UP AND SQUAREDANCE WITH YOUR GRANNY WHILE CRYING ON PROM NIGHT IF YOU DON'T WANNA PLAY HAMMERIN' HARRY ON THE GAME BOY, GET N OR GET TO SUCKING KITTY LITTER ON THE KINDERGARTEN BUS!!!!!!" it's so earnest and charming to me lmao.

@RextheSheep oh no worries I have no doubt there are good sides of it and that it’s not all bad, I’m mainly saying this because of the people who let their love for retro games cloud their judgement for this kinda crap XD. Also I feel ya two on the getting screwed over by companies as someone who had to put up with strictly limited and the bullsh1t they pulled for the Turrican Anthologies💀

@slider1983 that may have been the intention behind Paprium but between the game taking 10 years to come out, people not getting their cartridges even now, Fons constantly going on psychotic Joker mental breakdowns online, and the EXHORBENT price tag the game has ESPECIALLY if trying to buy it second hand completely ruin the whole thing. Why should I give this game and it’s horrible creator my money when I could get streets of rage 1-3, final fight cd, hyperstone heist, golden axe, and SO many more on the same console for (mostly) 5x less the price? Not to mention all the AMAZING modern beat em’ ups nowadays like streets of rage 4 and shredder’s revenge that similarly cost less too.

This BS is why i ALWAYS choose emulation rather than giving these psychos my money. Theyre all just a bunch of sick in the head grifters who view old video games as some bizzare get-rich-quick scheme rather than as the cherishable pieces of art they are, and it blows up in their face spectacularly. We saw it with Paprium, we saw it with SuperSega, we saw it with Strictly Limited games, we saw it with Piko interactive, and we’ll continue to see it until the end of time. Idc about the “physical authenticity” if I have to obtain said authenticity by forking 80-100 bucks over to an irl Silent Hill villain who likely won’t even deliver on their promises, it’s just not worth it to me.

Re: WaterMelon Insists Its Terminally Delayed Brawler Paprium Isn't Dead

Even if it isn’t dead there’s no reason to be interested in this game. It’s just a bog standard beat em up that does nothing to push the genre forward and is headed by one of the biggest clinical psychopaths in the gaming industry, that’s not even mentioning the ludicrous price tag attatched to the thing and the near decade long wait for ppl to even GET their cartridges. Dont see why I should give this my time of day when infinitely better games like streets of rage 4, shredders revenge, fight’n’rage, final vendetta and all the countless openBOR projects exist, not to mention all the sega genesis homebrew projects that ARENT complete dumpster fires for WAAAAYYYYY less.
