Re: Talking Point: With Sonic's Movie Series Set To Cross A Billion Dollars At The Box Office, It's A Shame His Creator Doesn't Get Credit

RossoftheRobots

It's a tough one this. While it's a nice, romantic idea to acknowledge the creator, he was on the Sega payroll at the time so would have been financially reimbursed for his creation.

Also, I doubt that records would exist proving that he was the only person that had any input in the character design. What if someone comes out the woodwork saying that they inspired the character during a conversation during a break in a kitchen canteen?

I do agree that it would be really nice for Naoto Ohshima to have a credit but clearly a business decision has been made to possibly protect Sega and their IP which at the end of the day, they're free to do what they want with.

Re: Anniversary: 25 Years Ago, Sega Launched Dreamcast In Europe With One Of The Most Esoteric Campaigns Ever

RossoftheRobots

I was working at GAME at the time this launched and I loved it. The Dreamcast was truly amazing and I remember seeing the bright colours and amazing visuals on all the TV screens in store and thinking that games wouldn't get any better. I'd marvel at Soul Calibur and be amazed by the way the Lizard man moved and rattled his jaw.

The warehouse was full of all the pre-orders we'd taken and we had stacks of games ready to go... with only a handful of broken boxes at the time too!

What a time to be a gamer. We didn't know how good we had it.

Re: Best Ridge Racer Games - Every Ridge Racer, Ranked

RossoftheRobots

I can’t argue with any of this list but it must have been great fun to put together. I absolutely love Ridge Racer and keep going back to the original from time to time.

Also, spot on putting Type 4 in the number one spot but I would have expected a mention of the Jogcon. It takes some getting used to but it’s alright once it gets going… Not as good as a pad obviously, but still interesting.

Re: Strictly Limited Games Issues Statement On Lengthy Shipping Delays

RossoftheRobots

How long have Strictly Limited been operating now and they still run into issues where things take 'way longer than expected'?

For me, the damage has been done. They have a poor business model that relies on customers bank rolling them for years before they receive a product. I'm sure that if they didn't have the year long pre order scheme, they'd go out of business pretty quick.

With these long lead times, extortionate prices and often a substandard product at the end of it, I'll never be using Strictly Limited again.

It's just a shame that so many people are happy to put up with them.
