Consoomers / Consoomer Culture - Because if it has a recogniseable brand on it, I’d buy it!

There's nothing wrong with Mechassault, it's just a really bad adaptation of the source material. Taken on it's own it's a bitchin' game, and this is coming from a BT sperg.

The story is not why you play Mechassault lol, it's all about blowing up mechs and copious amounts of terrain, as you seem to understand lol.

It's unreal to me they weren't absolutely massacred for that behavior. Imagine telling an overwhelming portion of your current (and potential future) customers that they literally don't matter unless they "say the line" and laughing off billions of dollars of combined direct property damage, lost business and the knock-on effects of both like it's no big deal.

"Cities can rebuild." JFC ... I can't wait to hear their helpless screams when it's their city's turn. Maybe they'll pony up to rebuild that one. Fuck you, Sony.

In a just world every white person and every straight person would have canceled their Sony-related subscriptions and stopped buying their products then and there, gaming and otherwise. Let them subsist on the comparably tiny market of blacks and alphabet soups if that's what they want.

With Xbox I can tolerate it slightly more because A: backwards compatability including to the OG Xbox to a limited scale, B: bitchin high speed servers, C: they know how to build a high powered machine with no compromises, including keeping the 4k player in with cd capability. They still cuck out on pride month yes, but Sony fanboys, especially them, are just another level of cringe.

I'll go off topic but I had my doubts about a console Mechwarrior game. I had PS2 when I was a wee tot so Xbox is kind of new to me beyond playing at a friend's house. Mech-Assualt fucking rocked. I even got Mechwarrior 2 for PSX. They were all really good ports and I did not expect that. I'm kind of a consoomer when it comes to Battletech shit but in my defense 60 ton death robots are awesome.

All this talk about retro collecting makes me deeply deeply sad that I sold my copy of earthbound for 40 bucks for drug money back when I was in a bad way. I paid like 85 for it and now the loose legit carts are like 300 bucks.

I collect retro shit or I did, but it was only games that meant something to me in some form or had an impact on me like Super Metroid and Mario RPG.

Never had the desire to hoard crap titles just because i want "muh compete collection"

In all fairness that's all I play Living Legends for as well, if I want a story I'll read the books or play one of the turnbased games and make my own.

It finally happened- today I saw my first ever in person Funko Pop collection. The guy who owns it is exactly like you would imagine.

How big was this stash? And what was the dude like other than a soyboy?

 

[Ed Weed]

Question in here for any sane retro SNES collectors. Are prices ever going to come back down to earth, or have neckbeards hoarding shit fucked us completely?

I’m not a SNES collector but generally vidya prices go through a spike when the generation that grew up with them hits young adulthood and wants to relive their childhood, followed by a dip when those people reach middle age and their priorities in life change - they might sell their collection to help buy a house or to turn their vidya man cave into a child’s bedroom or something. The trend might be different for the SNES depending on the amount of manchildren involved, or it might stay the same. Who knows?

It filled up about one shelf rack, with mostly Marvel characters but also some Star Wars and miscellaneous (I think at least one Rick and Morty, but I don't remember that well). Guy also had a nose ring and one of those long soybeards. The interaction wasn't long so I couldn't get a read on his personality very well, but he seemed mostly all right besides the Funko Pops.

Yeah, so basically "time will tell". I guess we'll see, back in 2007 when I was collecting seriously, prices were reasonable. Right now they're fucking insane

I think with Nintendrones that's probably asking a bit much.

Sony's retardation is making a little more sense now.

Honestly Sony's fanbase is staring to become worse than Nintendos.

Starting to, yes, but they are nowhere as unhinged as the anti emulation Nintendo fans. Sony fans are glad we can emulate all of the 1/2/3 games with ease now as backwards compatibility was just a pipe dream.

But Nintendo fans will dogpile you for playing a rom of a “1 of a kind” lost game that Nintendo will in no way ever release. Nintendo doesn’t care about their history and had to track down roms from the internet for the nes or snes classic for at least one game.

Simping for billion dollar companies is weird enough, but when you’re willing to go after your fellow community members in your quest to simp it’s truly unhinged. White knighting for Nintendo by reporting people posting about emulation is not only cringe but it’s useless.

They always cite piracy as a problem but the solution is to make it easily obtainable and it's really weird that they're nostalgia baiting games that they aren't bothering to rerelease. Come to think of it, have we posted anything related to these "Nintendo jannies"?

 

[Sleazy Car Salesman]

If you don't want me to pirate your game then release your games on Steam at a reasonable price.

It’s one of the main reason why in the past few years and change the modding community has never been able to shake this self-righteous attitude of thinking that they are the authority as to why emulation should be a bannable offense.

Most are not like this (of course) but the ones that are loud about it are mainly outnumbering the minority of people that just want to play games.

 

[Vingle]

People are still going to pirate it, but making it easier and cheaper to be obtained lawfully. Will probably make some pirates not bothering with the hassle of pirating and fucking with the settings to get it playing right.
It will probably end up with more normies buying games for the heck of it, which will end up bigger earnings.
Game companies are really stupid.

Valve and Steam Stans can get very crazy too. They literally treat Gabe Newell as God, and shower with him with praise whenever Valve does something, or a game that they like becomes available on Steam. It's as if those Stans have to keep giving GabeN constant praise, out of fear that he'll Thanos snap their Steam account (and all of the games and cosmetics with it), if he feels offended or inconvenienced by saying something about him or Valve games or Steam that isn't praise.

And whenever either a new DOTA 2 Battle Pass, a new CSGO skin crate, a new TF2 hat, or a Steam Summer or Winter Sale happens, those Stans instantly go into "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY GABEN" mode.

I haven't enjoyed a single PlayStation 2 game except for Silent Hill 2 and Okami, and I played three or four more. OK, maybe there was Samurai Shodown VI, which was pretty fun. However, I played the first two games on PC and found it infinitely more enjoyable than sitting before a TV like a retard.

The very requirement that you have an external appliance connected to your TV (which I don't have anymore) is so uncomfortable, that it doesn't even matter what the brands or the games are. Sony should ditch console making. SEGA already learned it the hard way trying to put its Genesis console on life support - only to lose to Sony. What does SEGA do now? That's right, PC games - and pretty decent ones too.

That said, I definitely enjoyed the PS1 era, and I have plenty of good memories of them from the 1990s. The best part - of course - was that I didn't have to suffer the region lock, which prevented me from playing games in English. My parents ordered me a PS2 from Germany which came with Final Fantasy XII and Kingdom Hearts .... nur auf Deutsch. Naturally, I didn't play that crap because I don't have time nor need to learn German. With that in mind, Sony can assure me that they have stopped this habit of making sure consumers stop enjoying their products all they want, I'm still not buying their crap.

There was only one time when I looked back - I bought a PS3 to play RDR (which Amazon never delivered me, and never refunded me for, so I had to buy it at a local retail in a neighbouring town) when Rockstar made the game console-only. It still lies somewhere in my basement covered in cobweb.

Consoles are dead.
