Video Game General v8.01D : PC Gaming Golden Age, Big Box (Part 1)

Most of the SMRPG models were made with a bunch of orbs stuck together to form the overall shape of the character. These models look more angular, which throws off the whole thing.

Back from a rare trip to Gamestop. I haven’t been inside one since last November.

So, I had traded in the extra copy of Ghost of Tsushima that I got due to UPS screw-up, plus my PS4 copy of RDR2 (PC version is better), and Star Wars: Fallen Order.

Due to COVID, my Gamestop is unable to do cash trade-ins, so I got these 2 and reserved the new Crash game.

I know people said this game was funny but I didn’t expect this much. I may get it later.

I really wish they’d go back to using experience. Also there might be a spoiler at the end on something but I don’t know if what happens is real or not.

Prince of Persia or bust.

So with talk of G4, possibly X-Play making a comeback? I decided to search out some classic episodes. Stumbled across this hilarious 4/20 themed episode.

Edit: And damn, Morgan Webb so hot. Damn shame her career went exactly nowhere after X-Play. Not nescessarily acting but, she should have done like Olivia Munn and pushed harder to break into business elsewhere. Instead of fading into obscurity.

GoT is AssCreed when it wasn’t ass and was still about assassinating shit.

So GoT is a game that never existed?

sheeeittt, there was an episode where you could see up Morgan’s skirt. I still have that shit on tape somewhere. This was another nice perk of tv back in those days… networks like this often would rerun shows over and over again 100 times, so you had plenty of opportunities to record some critical moments like that. Heh heh, another good one was that Halo 3 episode of Cheat where Kristin Holt’s FINE ass had the super-short skirt on. I definitely had to record that too.

Meanwhile—in that Gears 5 Horde… I’m pretty sure I’ve been kicked out of groups a couple of times for hogging the kills sometimes…? Well, not really my fault if characters like Kait happen to be so completely ridiculous :rofl: I’m here to shoot as many of those locust and swarm bastards as possible… that is pretty funny though, that she’s so outrageous you may have to ā€œhold backā€ just so others can participate.

Oh yeah—on top of all those damage bonuses… she also can get movement speed bonus as well…so you have this character that does crazy damage but can also eventually have super-fast walk/run speed…in addition to health and regeneration bonuses. Bruh… :laughing:

whoah… I kept seeing people referring to Operation 5… I didn’t know info had been released on it yet, then saw this on a search result:

Changes Coming to Gears 5 Operation 5

  • New Characters and maps
  • Complete separation of characters and classes
  • Improved quitter mitigation
  • Ongoing quality of life improvements

whoah… :exploding_head: I honestly didn’t think they would ever do it but here we are…

I thought Mario RPG and the DK country series were some of the better looking games on the SNES.

Merio RPG looked ugly because all the characters looked fat like someone slightly pressed down on them.

Both games utilized newer Silicone Graphic workstations to render the 3D models, then they screen capture those models to bring then to the SNES as 2D sprites.

They look impressive at the time

How did you reach the end so fast?

Watch, he only thinks it’s the last dungeon
