2019-07-29 at 1:30 PM UTC in Shenmue 2: greatest game I have ever completed or really played
Originally posted by Wariat I dos till enjoy 3d mario platformers and for some reason sunshine is my favorite despite being ranked the lowest. It was so fun doing tricks or not using the water cannon to try betaing the levels for instance and the world had so much personality.
I was really disappointed in that game at first because it wasn't a normal mario platformer, which is what I wanted at the time.
Looking back now through I'm glad it exists, the aesthetic and gameplay style is really kakkoi and soothing. -

I think I bought a few issues.
I prefer everything from the NES to the PS2.
Back during that period gaming was at its peak and the greatest content came out during the time.
The problem with modern gaming is that all developers are expected to keep increasing the fidelity of their games with each generation, small devs can't keep up or afford that so they're left out/ignored.
Somebody should release a console that has modern specs (around what the PS5 will have) and keep that model around for 15 or more years and focus on attracting small and independent developers with games that might have production values resembling the 6th or early 7th generations. -

Originally posted by Wariat By the way, despite me putting morrowind down when compared to shenmue 2, it is my second favorite game of all time and is also way ahead of snything rockstar produced.
Back when game developers were sincere and not mossad/cia plants or shitskinned or a woman.
I legitimately loved and enjoyed Oblivion, but then Skyrim came out and like GTA V I was so underwhelmed and disappointed.
Rockstar, Bethesda and every other major developer right now keep releasing the same exact game, just with different stories, characters and worlds. -

Originally posted by Wariat What is crazy is how ahead of the time it was, even now they made a big deal of red dead redemption 2 how it shows the hand grabbing stuff. Shenmue 2 had this detail and the ability to grab objects out of shelves decades ahead of red red redemption 2 or anything rockstar has done since. I mean I have not played rdr2 but it seems to pale in co parison in every way to shenmue 2 and this is a 2019 game.
Modern western game design is an ABSOLUTE joke
They aren't even video games, they're basically themepark attractions with lite gameplay elements sprinkled here and there.
Playing a modern game is like walking through some haunted house or something from universal studios, you start at point A and follow the lead to point B end of game.
I watched videos of RDR2 on judentube and immediately I felt bored, nothing about what I saw seemed at all unique or worthy of existing, it felt so copy and pasted like hollywood movies.
It's an insult to my senses and to the gamers of the world, like Final Fantasy XV, games these days are literally shallow empty husks with nothing to do but walk around and play the same four or five quests over and over 100 times until the game is over.
That's why I hated GTA V, there was absolutely no substance to the game at all, everything was so shallow and lacking. -
2019-07-29 at 1:12 PM UTC in Shenmue 2: greatest game I have ever completed or really playedGames today are such garbage compared to the 6th generation.
I was recently permanently banned from the GTAFORUMS website for arguing against some dumb NPC about modern games being garbage compared to the 6th.
It is an objective fact and has nothing at all to do with nostalgia, just look at the catalogs next to each other.
6th gen had so many unique and groundbreaking releases, it was a golden age for gaming.
With the 7th fewer and fewer games were released and the ones that did were either rehashes or sequels to AAA action adventure titles.
With the 6th there was GTA 3, Animal Crossing, Shenmue 2, Silent Hill 3, Dragon Quest VIII, Disaster Report, Fable, Knights of the old Republic, Deus Ex Invisible War, Bully, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Underground, Splinter Cell, Morrowind, Deus Ex etc etc
The 8th generation has not had a single really groundbreaking and original series or even anything that felt really interesting.
I'll probably just stick to playing NES, PS2 and PS1 games for the rest of my life. -
2019-07-29 at 1:06 PM UTC in Shenmue 2: greatest game I have ever completed or really playedOh and around the time other games like Deus Ex: Invisible Revolution, Knights of the Old Republic and Fable came out, that period was like an RPG renaissance for the Xbox.

2019-07-29 at 1:05 PM UTC in Shenmue 2: greatest game I have ever completed or really playedThat's my favorite game of all time.
It was really really groundbreaking/revolutionary back in the day.
Being able to walk around a game world that felt alive, the day and night cycle, being able to interact with all the NPCs and all the side quests.
This is objectively the greatest game ever made, nothing ever has come close. -

Originally posted by Nil i dunno dude, i actually fundamentally disagreee with the historical circumstances with regards to politics and muh people vis a vis the canadian government, i'm like a weird nationalist-soveriegnty desiring motherfucker. i feel pretty strongly about this and would pursue it if given more reasons, sadly most natives would rather gfet a government check and do petty crime than embrace somehging greater than hedonistic self destructuion, short sighted bastards and poor clay.
You're going to die soon anyways you might as well make an interesting statement with your life.

Originally posted by Nil maybe wat u want to do will piss people off, go out and found an anti-state militia or some shit. the world is you oyster bro. i chose to play video games for a long time and they lost there appeal, learning a new skill(s) is cool, but maybe you should try and start a business of some sort in a market you know. or try to hunt. push some boundaries and get out of your comfort zone.
When I spoke of militias and other similar topics it was all purely theoretical, I never intended on actually doing any of those things.
It's AD2019 free speech should be set in stone, not threatened ... it's the internet too FFS if someone talks about things like cannibalism or serial killing it should be accepted that they're joking and not describing true events.
As for starting a business ... well ... I don't want to have to live according to a time schedule so that's out of the list of options. -
2019-07-29 at 2:36 AM UTC in Are there still IM programs with chatrooms anymore?Like Yahoo instant messenger
Do they exist anymore?
I miss going into random rooms and chatting with people
it was magical back then there were rooms for any topic you could come up with
I remember going into chatrooms for street gangs and they would all have their font changed to the gang colors it was amazing
and then one time I went into an arab room and booted some people .... good times .... -
2019-07-29 at 2:34 AM UTC in You know what would be a neat job?I really despise capitalism and everything it has done to humanity
People are meant to live and be, not exist as a machine or in search of money.
Something must be done to end this stage of humanity and usher in the next, but it shouldn't be communism or technocratic totalitarianism -

2019-07-29 at 2:27 AM UTC in Non-electronics based activities?I could write books but the way society is heading, in a decade or two my ideas might seem too fringe and I don't want to attract attention to myself.
Actually come to think of it maybe I will write books, I have lots of ideas and I have unlimited time.
UGHGHGHGH WHY MUST HUMAN LIFE BE SO BORING
