Being a 16 year old, having one of those in school was mandatory. Que hillarity in double history when your meant to be watching a film about stuff that happened in Cideys day
Oh yes...
Wait until you are posting here in 20 years time and the youngsters are giving you stick, slagging off your retro-iphone3GS and you're considered a troll for insisting that the PS2 can never be retro!
At least by then no one will remember the name "Streets of Rage", gamers can sleep soundly knowing that they will never be subjected to those horrors again.0 -

Horizontally scrolling beat'em ups?
More like meh than eh..
I think I'll go and torment the little folk in the PS forum, getting bored!
How can the mod of a retro gaming forum, the largest in Ireland in fact, not see the value in a good side-scrolling beat em up? We shall therefore consult some old fashion logic, & detective work.
If you eliminate everything else, whatever remains, no matter how illogical, must be the truth:

Everyone knows side scrollers are no fun unless playing with friends.
Therefore Ciderman had no friends in the arcade and he stood there with big tears in his eyes looking for someone, anyone to play SoR with him... anyone that was old enough not to make him look like he was a creepy old guy playing with children.
Batman Returns though was great because it was one player. Let the kids have their fun on Simpsons arcade and X-Men.
It's no arcade for old men.

I thought Super Street Fighter IV was beat'em up perfection?
Or was it Tekken 5?
Or perhaps KOF'99?
My money is on The Last Blade 2 or Powerstone.
But in no universe in the grand multi-braned, manifold of reality is Streets of Rage considered "Beat'em Up Perfection".
You can collect your coat on the way out, your name will be erased from the morning roll call.....
"Oh look, I've walked a few meters and I can't move any further.
I guess I'll just stay inside this confined area forever!"
Streets of Rage is Side Scrolling Beat Em Up Perfection to me.
Your senile rants will do nothing to change that fact! 0 -
Aha sorry , having a spectacularly sh!tty day and a bit grumpy. Ok ff gba , mega cd, versions not withstanding sor was a better home scrolling beat em up

Got me thinking of a long retro game shopping weekend in Tokyo! Stop with the temptation!
Oh, got Geist and Odama (boxed with mic) this morning.
Had a blast of Geist and it confirmed that the Gamecube sucks at fps and most of the blame can be laid the feet of both the Japanese dislike of the first person shooter genre and, moreover, the GC controller is awful for this genre.
I wonder is there a 3rd party Xbox style controller or a way to use my Xbox or PS2 controllers instead?
Or, more likely, the game stinks, although it seems interesting so far.
I use an adapter to convert a PS2 controller to GC.
A bit like this one:
Handy as I can plug my wireless PS2 pad into the GC.

GC controller works fine for FPS games. Geist is just a bit **** is all when it's trying to be a FPS. Timesplitters 2 worked best on Gamecube and was a decent shooter in multiplayer. Also Geist was developed by N-space, an American company and not a japanese one.
The game gets a lot better once the crappy opening is finished with. The puzzle sections are good fun, it's when it tries to be a shooter is when it falls apart.

Have to disagree Retr0 old bean.
The problem is the Japanese have no enthusiasm for the genre and the GC was sorely under supplied with fps.
The controller sticks are in the wrong place for fps and the analogue action of the shoulder buttons, along with the click at the bottom is, frankly, weird.
Geist has the same, slightly low rent feel as Coldwinter on the PS2 and that was a game I really liked.
Timesplitters? I wasn't aware that was particularly impressive on the GC, I have them on PS2 and they're only ok tbh, biggest selling point being monkeys and the Goldeneye people made it, the later bound to be a big isuue for a fan like you Retr0! 0 -

Well the single player of Timesplitters 2 sucked donkey balls other than a great opening but multiplayer is great on it, lots of crazy mods and they even had a stab at the assault mode from Unreal Tournament that was surprisingly successful. If you aren't playing them in multiplayer then that's where you are going wrong.
As for not enough FPS games on the GC, that's what I had my PC for. Anyway I'd take Metroid Prime 1 and 2 over all the other FPS games released on the PS2 and Xbox at the time. I really didn't feel it was missing good FPS games at all really, during that generation Halo was the only really competent one and Cold Winter was better than it should have been but stand out examples of the genre, they really weren't that special. I don't know, maybe it's because FPS games bore the arse off me. I think Half Life 2 spoiled me and I measure every FPS to it, and sure why not.

I didn't mention the tickets are for this. Seeing as it's our honeymoon (albeit delayed a year).

Wow!
I take it that the Cashmere sweater will come out for that flight?
More like 'slouch pants', white reeboks and a Dublin jersey. Just for the laugh.

Oh dear, haters gonna hate!
That's pretty much a kamikaze thing to do during a recession!
Enjoy your honeymoon though as much as you can,
It might be the last bit of pleasurable sex you'll ever get!
It goes all downhill from there, the only sex left will be the odd bit of reproductive intercourse!0 -
