Re: "Limited Run Games Has Been My Life For Ten Years" - Josh Fairhurst Announces He's Stepping Away

truth_will_set_u_3

wow such bad press from ppl in the comments. lrg felt like an amazing company to have around with the amazing merch and game rereleases. not everybody is going to be happy as items are on a limited run, go figure but i thought they were a really cool company.

then tombi remastered was announced and released with literally a very small handful of 'not so remastered' changes for an extortionate price. the game is nigh on identicle to the ps1 version.

this was when i saw that perhaps lrg isnt as great as i thought.

Re: "They Lied" - New Research Casts Doubt On Analogue 3D Accuracy Claims

oh no, its not quite right in the smallest of issues so this must mean the company is a total fraud, lets listen to a hacker and just disregard it on his say so.

pffft. these online voices literally think they are devinely important, 99% of the time ive never heard of them and they are just doom posting like they are on a power trip which is damaging to companies and products. lucky most of us over a certain age have our own minds.

is the a3D slightly off, yes.

will it seriously affect the performance of games and personal fun of players, no.

so lets just enjoy it ffs

Re: "THIS IS THE END" - The Man Behind The Infamous SuperSega Console Finally Admits Defeat

most ppl knew this was coming and for the unfortunate ppl who payed into this, the lesson should be learnt now.

in a modern tech age where anything is possible in the games sector via hardware enthusiasts- this multi
generation games playing machine will be built or is being built professionally somewhere by trusted product makers so- when you see a dodgy disheveled guy with long hair, long beard, in a white lab coat, puffin on a cigarette pull up with a plastic box and asking for your money. it is a scam

when you see said guy doing faked interviews with himself and ppl he just met, sat playing loads of sega games on a faked plastic box, with wires everywhere and the video footage edited. it is a scam

dont be gulliable

pretty sure he was drug or drink intoxicated throughout most the weird videos. cant believe anybody or any media bought into this. was weird straight from the get go

anyways, there are emulators of every game imaginable that can be played on any modern device or system so why bother with the novelty multi gen cartridge/cd using idea of this? just get emulators and enjoy games scam free

Re: "It Would Have Been A Huge Success" - The Pitch Behind The Sega Handheld That Might Have Rivalled The Game Boy

@Twapsel thank you lol nintendo have forever been very good at building a family brand too, which guaruntees longevity because it means the kids who grew up playing/buying mario and pokemon stuff will then have families of their own so will no doubt buy their children nintendo products and repeat the cycle. sega didn't have this strategy, they were more for quick play arcade gaming. only now in recent years have they evolved into a family brand. might be a good time for the game gear 2?!

yeah sega's marketing towards rivals was very brash, brazen, arrogant and very over confident in the 80s 90s until nintendo gave them a few spanks and sony shoved humble pie down their throats to finally shut them up lol. which ultimately and perhaps weirdly enough turned out quite well because it freed up sega from the pressures of the console wars and gave them hard earnt success again. they restructured, learnt lots about themselves and built themselves back up as a brand which has been amazing from 2005 up to this point. trouble is though, this newfound success in the modern games and entertainment industry has brought out the old cocky sega attitude lol. the sonic racers advert for instance showing mario kart world as a boring slow racer is classic sega 90s advertising. yes sonic racers is more cooler, is faster, is quite abit more fun BUT mario is mario and some lessons from 40years ago it seems, have still not been learnt lol

Re: "It Would Have Been A Huge Success" - The Pitch Behind The Sega Handheld That Might Have Rivalled The Game Boy

nah a monochrome handheld with sega games would have flopped too just like the game gear. i owned both the gameboy and the gamegear, then the gameboy pocket and gameboy colour so can honestly say that despite the gamegear having a great backlit colour display, it just wasnt the gameboy. there was something special about the gameboy. sega have forever tried to do the full bells and whistles with their hardware, leaning towards the flashy cool more appealing features and each time they failed. the gamegears' problem wasn't battery usage because like me, most people would of had the power adapter and battery pack. the main issue with the game gear was nintendo. since the gameboy, every nintendo handheld upto the switch 2 has just been a behemoth in success. no matter what any company throws at the nintendo handheld brand, it wont ever stand up. nintendo are just too good at this sector of the games industry to be beaten, they suck at home consoles since the nes/snes but have now managed to reign that in with the hybrid switch 1 and 2 systems, merging both handheld and home console together which actually does work without being a sales gimmick. the gameboy dominence tho for the time was on another level and they sold so many gameboys on less nintendo flagship games then they ever have, there was no pokemon until nearly a decade later and only 3 mario land games with an assortment of mario sports titles but that was it. the gameboy was so sought after that literally every company, entertainment, movie and cartoon franchise wanted a piece of the gameboy sales action. this led to an overwhelming amount of games being released on the gameboy including games from the big well known companies like capcom etc. any rival system just could not compete with this level of content. the gameboy had every single game you could imagine except for sega games whilst the gamegear had no games except for sega games, thats a huge sales problem

Re: "It's A Middle Finger To Everybody" - Producer Behind Netflix's Castlevania And Devil May Cry Series Is Working On Duke Nukem Next

truth_will_set_u_3

its about time. come on lets give duke nukem the brilliance he deserves be it a game or tv series/animation. its a total missed oppurtunity of a character. poor games, poor ideas, poor humour, poor everything. clearly hes based on arnie so arnie would have been a great choice to play him in a movie 30 years ago. such a shame. hes just stagnated and nobodys really known what to do with him except cheesy smut. he needs to have abit of ultra gore, violence, abit more aimed at adults instead of teenagers. no sleeze, just good old fashioned adult entertainment

Re: A Build Of A Cancelled PS2 Duke Nukem Game From Rockstar Has Just Emerged Online

truth_will_set_u_3

i bizarrely like the look of this. the way duke moves and looks is great except the poor mans bullet time animation, but looks like this could have had potential. the trouble is poor duke has never got the game he deserves. he needs an ultra gory, part futuristic.1st person shooter in line with doom or similar. needs to be a decent solid action shooter with not much cheese and no turd fishing from toilet bowls. not sure why everybody who takes on duke games has a very weird idea of humour. very teenage boy toilet humour of boobs, swear words, turds, trashy one liners

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

truth_will_set_u_3

not to speak ill of the dead but that was a very narrow minded, angry pathetic rant coming from a then very middle aged balding man who obviously lacked insight and had no idea as to how big an impact the 2D beat em up genre was having around the world and would have on the games industry up until now. they are still very much kicking ass today whether new or literally 30years old so wtf was he chatting?!

made me laugh that he said more skills are learnt playing pac man and space invaders, while being possibly sarcastic i'm guessing he was slightly unhinged and very hateful of beat em ups because they obviously were way too advanced for his pac man skill set. he must have absolutely sucked at 2D beat em ups so bitterly spat out a hate filled article about them. while moving on to 2025 there are more 2D beat em ups and 2D indy games that are way more successful than even current gen AAA titles. not to mention huge tournaments and huge revivals of retro 2D games.

he said play virtua fighter and other 3D games instead yet didnt seem to grasp that nearly every game in a genre is identicle in most button layouts/move sets/story lines/characters. the only difference is the 2D or 3D visuals and therefore a game being 2D or 3D doesnt determine skill level or difficulty either.

kunkel was just a hater steeped in irony and total contradiction. he played sh*t games but wrote articles calling beat em up fans losers who need to grow up and move out the basement, whilst the saddo sat their watching wrestling. which is basically softcore porn of sweaty grown men in spandex pretending to beat each other up in a ring and acting out sh*tty soap opera story lines. hahaha rest in peace ya dope
