BassGuitari Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 In Videogame Hell, the Jaguar crushed the Saturn, Nintendo 64, and PlayStation in the '90s, and after suffering Jaguar domination for over 20 years, you are now stuck with the Jag4. And its games are download-only. And its best game is STILL Tempest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7800fan Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 JRPG that is text heavy and is in a language you don't understand, and you can't proceed without knowing the correct answer to some questions in that unknown language. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 There are stores in Japan named Hard-Off selling used video games, where the same music plays over and over again. Being an employee and listening to that song must drive them crazy- unless they wear earplugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 You pop in a cart and power it on only to find out the screen says you have pirated games and have committed a crime. I'll never forget in 1995 it happened to me. I was going to play Super Mario All Stars and the screen from the top video was shown. I was like wtf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leods Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) How about a modern high definition console that plays only sports and violent FPS games? Funny thing it actually exists, and Microsoft has released three consecutive consoles so far. Well at least if the advertisements are any indication of what's available. Zero of those fancy games interest me in the slightest. No wonder the Japanese keep rejecting them. Besides MS being an outsider, Nintendo has more fun, and Sony has more variety. Xbox has neither... I have an xbox 360. I love it. I don't like sports games, and I hate playing FPS on a Controller. I still have hundreds of good games to Play on the 360. I'll cut you some slack because MS has no clue as to how to make a Videogame console, and much less about making games for it. But nowadays it's so easy to make a console that even they can make something People can make good games for. The xbox 360 with games for Windows live during 3 years game me incredible bang for the buck. The JAPANESE Scrolling shooters are mostly xbox 360 exclusive. Go figure... I don't understand why to this day. The xbox 360 is one of the best consoles of all time. It's very far from being gaming hell. But any xbox fanboy will actually make it seem like gaming hell, because when you ask: What's good about the xbox 360? They'll answer Gears of war and Halo. So yeah. Not as bad as toumb raider reboot, but pretty Close. And MS bought exclusivity to the new toumb raider, so as far as their efforts go they're trying to make it hell as much as they can. They even tried to make Kinect obligatory. Well, if that's not gaming hell I don't know what is. Clueless idiots.

I was like wtf For whatever reason, Sony considered us Euros to be more prone to pirating games. As seen in many games on the Cutting Room Floor (a site that expose hidden stuff in games, leftovers from early development, and other stuff) Many Playstation games contain a warning screen, but European games are the only game where this screen is ALWAYS displayed (just after boot) : (Unless I've been told wrong and this screen also pop up botting US games as well, so in this case just stone me to death) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually enjoy watching Youtube let's plays of classic games. If they suck, it makes me feel better about my own gaming abilities. If they're good, I'm impressed, and I might learn something.

Being an employee and listening to that song must drive them crazy- unless they wear earplugs. Or the employees are deaf, they can easily ignore annoying music. You guys could be blaring Justin Bieber song or Barney song right in my bedroom and I'd still have no problem sleeping. By the time anyone gets any sound loud enough to annoy me, you'd end up pissing off everyone within half mile and get thousand citations for noise complaints.

Gabriel Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Gaming Hell You wake up on Christmas Day. You rush to open your presents. Your present is your favorite, greatest console EVER! You also got the games for it you wanted more than anything else! You hook it all up so you can play, and the system doesn't work. Since it's Christmas Day, there's no option to return it that day. You can't play the games you so dearly want to play. You keep trying to get the system to work during the day, hoping against hope that something will be different this time, but you always get the same dead screen. The day passes painfully as you wait for tomorrow and the chance to trade in the system for a working one. You go to bed, and restlessly toss and turn because TOMORROW you will finally be able to enjoy those games. You wake up on Christmas Day. You rush to open your presents.
