Best [and Worst] of the Past Decade

[lazyfatbum]

Unbelievable, this is like those threads where crackhead fans try to show how amazingly groundbreaking the Sega CD was and drive you mad wit their disillusions.

I dont hate PC gaming, there are amazing games to be had, but the majority, in fact the vast majority is total shit.

This elitism is part of the problem, "Oh you dont like it because its more complicated." That, right there, is what a good portion of so-called PC gamer's mentality. The truth, PC games aren't more complicated, they're simpler because they were made by people who dont understand the fundamentals of game design, but are complicated because of the ugly interface and exaggerated subsystems that constitutes as gameplay in some bizarre off-world that only blue-blooded PC gamers think are good.

[i]It's garbage.[i/] I'm sorry you're a fan of it, there's a very particular reason PC gaming has never taken off while console gaming has flourished: The game's are shit.

Survival Horror before Resident Evil, do you even know what you're talking about? Capcom *invented the fucking term* and before that we had what, Alone in the Dark? Seriously? Did you actually play that pile of shit? I kept wondering why frogs were chasing me. The only thing that came out that resembled survival horror was Silent Hill, The Thing (2002), Fatal Frame (2000 I think, so-called best writing in a game to date, yeah that one), a fucked up game called OverBlood for PSX, and one i'm drawing a blank on that I played on the Saturn, all I remember is the dude with the hedge clippers and then Siren which I bought just because it was made by part of the silent hill team, that came out in like 2003 or so. There's the old fucking Amiga game where you lit matches to see, there's the Japan-only so-called '2-D RE' called Treasure House or something which plays almost identical to RE but on the Famicom. Other than that I remember Friday the 13th on NES having some survival horror elements.

Alone in the Dark not only had a horrible story and writing, it was also French. It was scary on the same level as a Mall Santa. The haunted house in Mario 64 was more of a survival horror game than Alone in the Dark. Remember the piano? How about the Dog Hallway? AotD had nothing like that, no scares, no oh shit moments. It was the same trial and error gameplay found in all text based adventure games from the time. And Alone in the Dark was created by the French, did I mention that?

You just compared Killer Instinct to this shit? Seriously? Is this even a real game or did you upload this as a joke? You think this is the caliber of Killer Instinct? What's it like to be dead, honestly. I dont mean to offend you but you obviously dont have ANY ABILITY TO THINK.

SERIOUSLY? Do I need to explain to you the difference between a bad video game and a good one?

This is insane, its like arguing religion against zealots. No ABF, western developers did not simply switch from PC to consoles, they actually improved. The writing improved, the cinematics improved, the understanding of gameplay improved. Color, contrast, lighting, set design and props, the art in general, everything improved because (i'll say it again just for fun) everything on the PC was shit and your rose colored glasses do not work on me you unimaginative faceless moron.

God damn.



You think that's like, worth even mentioning in the same breath as Killer Instinct? Or Street Fighter? Are you gay? Jesus.... fucking God.
