    Which is the better console, the PS2 or PS3?

    in Modern Gaming Discussion

    Posted · Edited by TheObscureGamer

    SOme of you will not admit it, but i'll say it for you. The PS2 is better than the PS2. No, it's not because the PS3 can play PS2 games, it just has the better game library. The PS2 was my third console I had(behind the Nes and PS1) and it will always be my favorite Sony console(well maybe the PS1 is, it's too hard to choose) but the PS3 is better. Pretty much for every game on the PS2, there is a game just as good if not better on the PS2. The only thing off the top of my head where this does not apply is for Crash Bandicoot, Okami, Resident Evil, Tony Hawk, and maybe Final Fantasy. Everything else like Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, Dynasty Warriors, Devil May Cry got better games on the PS3 console. So which do you like better, the PS2 or PS3?

    Mario Kart Double Dash

    IMO, this is the best Mario kart game after Mario Kart 8. Yes I said it, Mario kart 8 is better than Mario kart 64 and the SNES one. Quit letting nostalgia confuse you and see the truth. Anyway I never understood why people complained about the tag team in Mario Kart Double Dash. It's not like you have to use that feature... hopefully in the next Mario Kart game they have double dash and if not, Sonic racing Transformed :P

    My top 10 consoles and games.

    I think he means on what points do you make that observation, i.e. games you can play on it, specific game library only, technical specifications, technical specifications relative to competing consoles.

    Well it's just preposterous to say that the 7800 is better than the PS1. It has better games than the 7800 in every genre. No game on the 7800 can compare to Final Fantasy 7, Crash Team Racing, Spyro 1/2/3, Gran Turismo 1/2 etc. Sure you could say the capabilities of the consoles of the 7800 era is the reason why no games compare to it so it may not be a "fair" comparison but that's the reason why Atari consoles aren't in my top 10 and if I included handhelds, it they would be even far back.

    Out of all the consoles and handhelds that I have played(and I have played almost all of them), there are only 2 that have no good games. The R-zone and Action Max. The Game.com for example, although not the best handheld, it does have some good games like Duke Nukem 3D, Lights Out, Monopoly, Quiz Wiz, Scrabble, Frogger, Wheel of fortune/2, Centipede, and Tiger Casino. The CD-I as we know is not the best console but atleast it does have some good games. The Apprentice, The lost ride, Tetris, Burn:cycle, Dragon's Lair, Game oldies 2, Hotel Mario, Mutant Rampage etc. The amount of good games the CD-I has may not warrant a purchase for you, but it definitely does have some good games.The R-zone and Action Max on the other hand has NO good games.

    Who in the fat fishes of a phenomenal Fahrvergnügen(excuse my language but) fuck thought that a Videogame console where games are on VHS was a good ideal?. I mean anybody with a brain and over the age of 10 could tell that this was crap after the 1st playthrough, hell even during the 1st playthrough. The same goes for the R-zone. After the 1st 3 seconds, you've already done and seen everything in the game and unlike the Game & Watches, these are no fun whatsoever. Every other console and handheld has atleast 1 good game but these have none...

    2D Fighting Games - Hidden Gems

    in Modern Gaming Discussion

    Posted

    I'm a big fan of this game, one of the best 2d sprites ever.

    The guys who worked on this game also worked on King of Fighters 99, you see some new characters as K or Maxima that resemble the style.

    Yeah I noticed that K and Maxima looked similar. I wonder why there was no sequel to The Fallen Angels...

    2D Fighting Games - Hidden Gems

    in Modern Gaming Discussion

    Posted · Edited by TheObscureGamer

    I'm a huge fighting game fan(one of my favorite genres of videogames) and these are my top 3 hidden gems.

     

    1. Rabbit:One of my favorite fighting games is Rabbit. It's a game made by EA and nobody talks about it(Hell, not that much can be found about it on the internet). The sprites are very colorful and you summon different animals to attack for you. There was a port of the game on the Sega Saturn which is a decent port but goes for around $35-40 on Ebay. Thankfully the arcade game is playable on Mame so this obscure but fun game is not forgotten and anybody who likes unique fighting games should check this one out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WRiMmDfVWM

     

     

    2. Waku Waku 7.This is a fighter developed and published by Sunsoft and is much like Rabbit. It has tight gameplay, super colorful graphics, and funny super moves. The characters are also parodies of other characters. The punching bag parodies Ryu, Dandy J parodies Indiana Jones, and so on. The music is also very good and fits the gameplay. Thankfully it was ported to the Neo Geo and the Saturn for us to enjoy. Not as obscure as Rabbit or The Fallen Angels(still not that talked about) but it's just as good with it's great gameplay and sound. When I'm on the go with my Vita, PSP, 3DS phone or whatever is capable, and I need my fighting game fix, this is one of the first ones I go to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DefAwU3GcEI

     

     

    3. Daraku Tenshi: The Fallen Angels:This was a fighting game made by a company called Psikyo back in 1998 who before this, made a game called Space Bomber. Just like Rabbit, it has no ports of the game but can be played in Mame. It has a more darker feel to it than say Street Fighter or Samurai Showdown but that's part of the charm. It has really good animation and the fluid animation reminds me of Garou: mark of the wolves, Last Blade or Power Instinct 3: Groove on fight. The details of the moves in the games feels motion captured and the level with the burning air strip looks lifelike(look at the fire). Mortal Kombat and similar does not come close to this level of detail with it's motion captured sprites. Also the music in this is really good and fits the atmosphere of the game. If the arcade industry was not over saturated with fighting games,had a few more characters(in 1998 and even some years before, fighting games had over 30 characters not 8 but this might be because of how impressive the game was), and had a port on the PS1 or Dreamcast(even a Sega Saturn port would have been fine), This would have been a much more talked about game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlbLYhYOCKo
