What? In my response to DarkJager, I said nothing about the quality of the collection. I thought my post was worded carefully enough to avoid giving that impression.Leaderbored wrote: »
Saying these games are not good because they don't have the features of modern games is like saying a 1966 Mustang is Crap because it doesn't have power steering and a cd player like a Kia Picanto does.Fnz wrote:Nonsense, you're advocating less features over more, even though more (online co-op, leaderboards, etc.) shouldn't detract from your own playing experience. You can't honestly say that you are pleased they did not also include online co-op in Streets of Rage.
I don't disagree with that.Leaderbored wrote: »This package is aimed at the retro gamer. From my own experience with this type of product in the past, on-line bells and whistles (while they would be of course welcome if they existed) are secondary to nostalgic experience when it comes to purchasing decisions.

DJ said that IHO, this type of game didnt require any online additions and was ok as it was.
You said this was "nonsense", as more would be better than less.
I said "nonsense" was possibly a bit harsh, as the game was aimed at people who weren't necessarily looking for online add-ons, whether they would have been worthy ones or not.
You were a little selective on the editing of the quotes, in fairness. 0 -

Only highlighted a few key words I felt people were overlooking. Unless you're referring to something else.
I know the online features are not, in any way, "needed". That is irrelevant, and is not why I cried "nonsense".
It is nonsense to glibly dismiss useful online features with the non-sequitur: "I'm happier to see them in their original forms than being loaded up with tacked on crap to appeal to the "kids"".
It's an odd response to someone (jayteecork) mentioning the features: 'online multiplayer' and 'leaderboards'. I also wouldn't consider these to be "stupid online features".
I reckon it's safe to say that the best way to experience the multiplayer mode on games such a Streets of Rage is when it's done locally. However, an online multiplayer option does has value and certainly won't cheapen the experience for those who don't use it. Maybe, for example, I don't get to see the person I used to play these games with growing up in person because he lives miles away - wouldn't it be nice to have the online option?
as for online leaderboards, why not? If it's a high-score driven game then it could add to the challenge and extend the life of a game. Seems like DJ doesn't like the annoying online culture revolving around gamerscores and has decided to tar the useful online features with the same brush.
I'm tired now and feel we're going around in circles. Hope my response was cogent. 0 -
