Read itself was very interesting.

One of the favorite characters I ever rolled in D&D was a Lawful Good Paladin. Was a sheer “oh wow, I made great rolls!” spur of the moment whims. In real life I’m a snarky, roll with the punches, not at all religious, easy going sort.

12x is terrible for astronomy unless you have hands like a neurosurgeon. Shakycam ahoy!

I would pay Squeenix a whole lot of money for this to see an English release. SoM is one of my absolute favorites of all time, and SD3 (played via a fanslation) deserves a western release at long last.

I had the SegaScope, and the technology was actually *really* impressive for it’s time period. I can see why it flopped (compounded with the failure of the SMS itself), but the effects in Maze Hunter was ridiculously cool, turning a fairly generic top down action game into a real terror— those catwalks were SCARY to…

Modern man portable “machine guns” (In reality either an SMG or an assault rifle) still have very limited ammunition in a clip, despite what action movies and video games tell you. Just the sheer weight of carrying enough rounds to accomplish even a portion of that would result in severely crippled time-traveler.

Of course this is the same Sega that pulled down the Streets of Rage remake (http://kotaku.com/5791059/fan-ma…), and actively did everything in their power to keep westerners from playing the PSO2 they won’t release here, so.. yeah. Not fooling anyone, Sega. Here’s hoping this is a legitimate change of heart on these…

I.. don’t get it. You don’t like her work, or don’t like the movie, don’t watch it. No need to be a total fucking asshole and try to ruin the woman’s life.

Mother of... I want those Darius Huge Battleships so very badly.

If there’s UI and possible graphic updates, does that mean I can cling to my pipedream of a good Diablo again? D2's game mechanics with D3's UI would be amazing.

I was coming to post this one myself. My favorite game commercial ever.

Yeah, I gotta agree, the soundtrack sounded much more like the SMS than the Genny. Nowhere enough of that synth bass, either. What you’ve got linked sounds much more “right”.

I don’t know if I’d really call myself a Sonic fan, as much as just a gamer that grew up in that era and I strongly disagree. The thing that Sonic 4 was lacking was the same care of thought in the level design that the Genesis era Sonics had. The original’s a bit rough, but 2, CD and S3&K hold up as exceptional…

Add me to the list that applies too as well. It sounds interesting but I’ve never heard of it either.

Yeah, all of Sega’s systems LOOKED fantastic. My favorites are the SMS (that black with the deep maroonish red system diagram made it look like some sort of wicked high tech), original Genesis and the Saturn.

Yeah, not only is the build quality poor on the Genesis and Atari ones, the tech is too. The Genesis one can’t save. Not the built in ROMs, not to actual Genny cartridges, rendering a huge chunk of the library almost unplayable anyways.

The SNES is pretty much the easy choice for “Best System Ever” due to the strength of it’s mostly timeless library of fantastic games. I’d be all on board for that idea.

This is totally new to me. It makes my skin crawl, in a good way. I might give it a play when it gets finished, BECAUSE it is so totally differently weird.

Just remember, it’s not the size of the boat, it’s the motion of the ocean.

Everyone thinks they’re terrible because they’re bad games*, not because of nostalgia. Broken cameras, bad controls and boring play are not tenets of great games, regardless of who stars in them or who programmed them.
