Video Game General 7.0: Day Juan Ys: MoC June 9th & Wonderful 101 June 30th!

also on another note the only prob i have so far is that the game really could use some sort of gambit system or tales like a.i. i get the game wants you to constantly switch characters and not sit on cloud but sometimes i watch the other characters not doing shit or never casting spells and its annoying.

Question for those of you who played arcade games in the 90’s.

Which is better - NBA Jam or NBA Maximum Hang Time?

Before someone screams blasphemy, just hear me out.

While I know NBA Jam was the first, and has probably the best all time roster of any sports game ever, as well as the best announcer in sports game history, NBA Maximum Hang Time is kind of like NBA Jam on steroids.

I had been playing quite a bit of NBA Jam on my cabinet the past week but for some reason, it’s not saving my wins after 5 wins so I tried playing NBA Maximum Hangtime, and I have to say, it may be more fun just due to basically having the exact features as NBA Jam + more. The variety of dunks is more fun, the turbo lasts longer, and the double dunks never get old. The graphics are also noticeably an upgrade.

On the downside, the announcer is pretty weak, and the rosters aren’t as classic as NBA Jam. Since the game is pretty much identical gameplay wise as NBA Jam, most skills from NBA Jam transfer over 1:1 to this game.

So what do you all think?

oddly enough I forgot about NBA Hangtime until you mentioned it; haha, those were and still are the only sports games I will ever care about…because the last thing I want in games is a lot of realism. All the wacky shenanigans going on in Jam and NFL Blitz made that shit entertaining and fun to actually play.

Hangtime was later so naturally it at least looks better…if I were getting one of the 2 I’d go with that, since it plays the same but is visually better.

You mean like Cloud dressed up as a woman?

Oh that one is probably just going to stir up another “this game is transphobic!” controversy or whatever, haven’t had one in a while and with COVID slowing things down now’s just about the time. Hell I wouldn’t be surprised if idiots over at PedoEra are already reeeee’ing how Square Enix is disrespectful towards lgbtq community

I don’t discount the possibility. I hate FFVII but I’m enjoying the remake.

edit–naturally I’d prefer a physical version of the game as usual. I appreciate the notion of games like this existing. The overwhelming majority of games out there don’t really push the envelope in terms of what’s considered “acceptable”…and it’s disappointing to me how the player rarely gets to be the true villain of the story in most games.

Hatred is a mediocre game. Being needlessly edgy is all it has going for it.

Come on now, Yuffie was the hallmark of annoying ninja kid before Naruto took that mantle and then proceeded to give it to his son.

Also aside from Shadow in FF6 when has a straight up ‘ninja’ and not just the character class ever been good in Final Fantasy? I am literally having no recollection of a good one unless we lump the samurai stereotype in with ninja.

Oh shit, that mass school shooting simulator actually released? I thought it got canceled or something, I never heard about it after the controversy sparked by its trailer.

Honestly, the only thing that interests me is the fact that it got an AO+ rating and it’s still being released on consoles. On Switch, nonetheless.

Gotta say, I really don’t see the appeal of a game where the sole purpose is to brutally mutilate innocent people. Sure, I do that all the time in games like Prototype or GTA, but those are usually just silly distractions from the core elements of the game. You’re not playing as a character who’s literal whole purpose is to revel in their suffering.

It takes a lot to offend me, it really does, but this is one of the only games I’ve ever seen that I could honestly say is being made in very poor taste.

There was already a predecessor in “Postal” though… heh, I had that too, back in the day… besides the greatness that is Doom, it was the only PC game I cared enough to play on PC…well, there wasn’t a choice though; the original Postal never went to consoles, unsurprisingly. Same deal— you played a character who “went postal!”, to use an old slang phrase of that era. There was one part where you could throw napalm on a marching band. The game was so insane it was hilarious to me. The only other games that even came close to this were the GTAs, of course. (*in terms of you playing a character that was morally reprehensible; a straight up murderer; no redeemable qualities)

…I think one of the Postal sequels appeared on the original Xbox though, but that was it.

Oh, I finally got my Hardcore S run done in RE3 last night.

Just gotta beat it on Nightmare and Inferno now. After that, all I gotta do is collect all the collectibles and open all safes, and I’ll pretty much have the platinum. With 2&3 Platinumed and out of the way, I was considering going back and platinuming RE1.

Then I actually looked at the trophy list for that game for the first time in years. Holy fucking shit, this is gonna be impossible.



Some of this shit I didn’t even know was possible. There’s at least a dozen trophies where less than 2% of people have even managed to get them. Good lord. :joy:
