The Blackangel

Your introduction was fine. Nothing to worry about.🙂 Games were unique and original on those systems, whereas today games are all sequels and carbon copies of each other. There's no real originality. Game devs weren't afraid to take risks back then. Thanks to that, we got some really great, amazing gems. I remember when NES hit the market, everyone was blown away by how lifelike Mario was, and how complex the games were. Now looking back the games were beyond simple, and the graphics were blocky pixels. But that's part of what makes those games so great. It was a simpler time, with just better games if you ask me.

Ave I’m a classic gamer myself. Despite playing several PS4/PS5 games, I play from the N64 back. I love my Atari2600, and the NES is simply the greatest console ever made. SNES has a lot of great games, but the NES is still far superior. Whatever game you fancy, there is someone else here who plays it. Just familiarize yourself with the rules and you’ll be just fine. Welcome to the forum. Ave

It's about goddamn time. Now we just have to get the clue into the heads of 200,000,000 other bigots.

You make a good point. There's never any mention of Red Dead Revolver anywhere. It may seem that they want to forget it, as they tend to focus more on their best selling games like GTA and RDR2. That said it's still on the website. So maybe they're not so ashamed as it may seem.

I have no clue what that stones shit is. It says absolutely nothing to me. Sand is a stone and so is Bear Tower. So to reiterate, that doesn't say a goddamn thing to me. For my collections, I have 80 something Zippos, and closer to 100 skulls. If you're interested, I can post my gaming library. But it's a long ass list. On the cot thing, here's a pic for you.

Too late. I have a minifridge and a microwave in here. I also have a couple cots as well. I have my skull collection as well as my Zippo collection. But like you said, I only have to leave to use the bathroom. If I can figure out a way to turn the closet into a bathroom, then 'll pretty much have a whole apartment in here. The only thing anyone can do to get me out is to lure me with food. If you can feed me a meal that I like, we're going to be great friends. I'm a sucker for food. I bet you never met a girl like that before!

That's what I thought, but figured I should ask anyway.

I sure as hell hope we actually get a remaster. If RDR1 looked as good as RDR2, it would be even more fun to play!

Quick question. What is "CBA"? I'm not familiar with the acronym.

As far as gaming it's a bit of a back and forth between RDR2 and Zelda OoT. I love my N64, but RDR2 calls me quite a bit. But with my setup here I can watch TV and play my classic systems as I have 2 TV's set up. I could hook my PS5 for RDR2 to the small TV, but that just wouldn't do the game justice. We also have a 75" TV in the living room, but I spend my time in my home office.

Can't say I've played any of these, with the exception of her mention of the NES version TMNT. But I've heard about several of them, mostly from the Nerd. Especially Cheetahman and the Action 52 cart.

Yes I do. But like I said in my initial post, I’m wanting to hear opinions about the games.

I was going to go to Pridefest in St Louis, but the Proud Boys are planning to crash it, and with those psychopaths there, it's likely to become a bloodbath. Not so much for my safety, but instead to keep @Rain Dew out of potential harms way (if she wanted to go), we're skipping it this year.

Every one of these games are from my current gaming library. I own them all. I was looking for opinions because I'm trying to find something different to play. You forget that I have an enormous game library (just ask @Rain Dew) with well over 2000 games. Many of which I either haven't played in years, of have just never gotten around to playing. I can post my library of the systems I play again if you want me to. I keep a file saved and print it out every so often so that when I'm at GameStop or some other place that sells games, I know what I have so I don't pull another Reckoning and end up with 5 copies of the same game because I kept forgetting that I already owned it. One game I was really hoping to hear about from you is Dante's Inferno. I've loved that game since I first played it. It's somewhat in the same vein as God Of War, but still unique in its own right.

The rare rolling block rifle isn't the only item at Braitiwaite Manor that you will lose forever if you don't grab it right then, right there. When raiding the Braithwaite homestead looking for Jack, there's a gold shield on the mantle over the fireplace on the first floor. It's small, so you may walk right by it and miss it. But once the gang leaves Braithwaite Manor after not finding Jack, you've lost your one and only chance to get it. If you give me a bit, I'm pretty sure I can find at least one thing from every chapter that's a one shot item. Legendary's don't count on this, so I'm not going to go with the legendary bull gator in chapter 4.

I know these are a lot of games, but if anyone would be willing to give a review and opinion of the games they have played, I would really love to hear it.

Anyone have anything to add to this? But I know number 7 will get a shitload of reactions. I know exactly how and when the rare rolling block rifle is up. It is a one chance item. Actually, there are several one chance items in RDR2, but they're not hard to get.

The only one I watch religiously is the one we all know. The Nerd takes that place. Other than him I watch random RDR2 videos a lot. Strange Man and RedsDeadBaby are good too. I watch WhatCulture when they have a video that interests me.

Despite not being a player of the game, I would say that Skyrim has been the biggest hit of the generation. True, it came out during the PS3 era, but it has been going like an ox ever since. People who know how to do it are modding the game. The game is (from what I see) one of, if not the, biggest open world games in existence. There really is no challenger for first place. Skyrim has it. Second place, I would say, is a tie between RDR2, GTA5, and Witcher 3. They're all massive hits in their own right, and have a fan base that is just as big as the success of the games themselves. It's no secret that I absolutely LOVE RDR2. I have given the others multiple chances, but just can't get into them. GTA is way out of my "comfort zone" if you will. It is just nothing that entertains me in any way. If I want to experience that kind of thing, I'll just go hang out in my old neighborhood. Witcher 3, despite being the kind of game I'm typically into, just couldn't reel me in or get it's hooks into me. The same goes for Skyrim. So from what I see, those are the four biggest hits that are currently going. If I missed something let me know, because I really want to know what everyone thinks.

Was wondering what happened to you for a while. I'm sorry to hear about your split. Relationship endings always hurt, but after 20+ years would be absolutely devastating. I hope you're doing ok. You know us freaks of nature, oops I mean gamers, will be here for a long time. I'm interested to hear what games you're playing.

The first for me, as you know, was Final Fantasy 8. Zell had a bit of a mouth on him, but that was something that just seemed to fit his personality. Since then, having been playing RDR2 like a fiend, Zell was a perfect little boy who would never even DREAM of using any kind of profanity. It seems characters in RDR2 lack the ability to speak a sentence without a swear in it somewhere.

While not usually my thing, they both look badass, especially Armored Core 6. I'm definitely down to get that one depending on what system it's released on. If it's a PlayStation release, then it's mine.

The worst thing about Guinea Pigs is that they're cowards. They will run like hell when you try to handle them. It takes a hell of a lot of work to get them to trust you. Once they do, they will want to be around you constantly. They will love you like crazy, but can get annoying with it. So be ready to have an obsessed lover. I know rats are like that, as are hedgehogs. Once they warm up to you, they love you like crazy.

Classic gaming is more than just nostalgia. I'm a classic gamer for the simple fact that in my opinion, games back then were far superior to what's coming out nowadays. Everything is a damn sequel, with little to no difference between it and the previous entry in it's respective franchise. And also, so many games are carbon copies of each other. But with classic games, I defy you to find anything today that even resembles A Boy And His Blob. There was originality and uniqueness. There was always something to keep you on your toes, because games were so different. It even happened in some of the big franchises like SMB and Zelda. Can you tell me how SMB2 was in any way a true Mario game? And don't even get me started on Zelda, despite it being a long time favorite of mine. While there are good games coming out now, they don't and even CAN'T hold a candle to the classics.
