Didn't CDProjekt get its start selling pirate games for the Polish market?

I don't know, but you could openly buy bootleg games and music  (alongside  bootleg Russian cigarettes  ) at pretty much every market until the early 2000's.   

EU bureaucrats ruined everything

[BisMarckie]

btw. instead of selling fake Marlboros, they are selling Jin Ling cigarettes nowadays.

Jin Ling cigarettes are only sold illegally and the brand is the first to be designed explicitly for smuggling

Xbox is super gay confirmed

[Pissy F Benny]

Xbox is transgender 

Mm right now

[MMaRsu]

Lmao I really dont have anything against trans 

I do feel its wrong to expose young children to shit like that but w/e

[Akala]

that xbox thing can't be final. 

colors don't really care about, I don't think I would really miss all green everything. would look better if they randomized it or something, but if not I like the fact a certain subset of people will have to see rainbows all the time.

the actual tune sounds like a seven lions intro/outro, and seems overlong.

[MMaRsu]

Its pretty terrible right?

[Nintex]

The sound is inspired by the Rare developers they fired and the franchises they killed to make Kinect happen.

that xbox thing can't be final. 

You bet that it's FINAL, Sony can be depressed but they can't be this W O K E

[toku]

I think it's great.

Unlike Nintenbabies I prefer to play more than one new game every 5 years though.

Astrobot 1 is the new king. Also, no they literally don't deliver anymore outside of a single Mario game once a generation. Turning everything into the same type of 2D shit ever since New Mario Bros. took off. Even things like Chibi Robo.
Activision saving the genre before Nintendo did

[BisMarckie]

Super Mario Odyssey is a fun experience, but they removed any semblance of challenge and difficulty. It’s a great skinner box since finding moons feels great, but I don’t have any desire of playing it again whereas I replay the 2D Marios like once a year.

Criterion Games or who cares.

That's the menu soundtrack of Need for Speed Underground breh

Yea we know, but I don't trust EA to make a good NFS game really at all anymore.

The last good ones were Criterion made, Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted. After that, utter trash.

[paprikastaude]

Guess they saw how Activision hit that nostalgia fountain and want some too. Too bad that NFS Underground isn't exactly the quality of THPS2 or Crash Racing. To compete with that you'd need a remake of that level for Burnout 3. Or I guess SSX:T. But I suspect that Lil Jon meme was a far bigger success back in the day, so that's what we'll get.

[MMaRsu]

Where is my goddamn Def Jam Fight For New York HD Remaster with all the original music, uncensored, and on Steam for 20 bucks.

Only EA shit Im interested in besides C&C RA2 Remaster

Oh and NBA Street V2 Remaster as well

Neat, a throwback to the early 2000's.

Which mod is now using MMaRsu's account to continually stink up gaming side even more?

I remember when he'd post in all lowercase letters and not sound like carepost bot.

[Nintex]

Need for Speed Underground on the Heat engine as an asset flip would be cool tho

When did I ever post all lowercase letters 

Im not sure what a carepost bot is but ok

It's a fine engine and already looks sorta like Underground

But the handling is trash

NFS Underground was trash as well.

[MMaRsu]

For that time it was pretty good..

[paprikastaude]

stfu where is Burnout

[BisMarckie]

For that time it was pretty good..

Nah, a trash game will always be a trash game and a good game will always be a good game.
It looked pretty cool with it's corny street racing aesthetic, but the driving was always bad. I can still sink some hours into PGR or Burnout Revenge and have a good time or the PS2 era Gran Turismos. They might not look great for today's standards but they are still fun.

[Mr Gilhaney]

Sure. Some games lose a lot though with years, when genres have evolved so much, that while the wow factor might have lasted for the play through and even a replay back in the day, it isnt that amazing anymore. Original RE or RE2 is not scary to me anymore or very fun to play, back then it was fucking intense as fuck though. Half Life 2 while still being good, is nowhere close to as amazing as it was back then, when no FPS (that I played at least) had done a physics gun that well, super mario 64 is mediocre as fuck playing it today, not the least due to the absolutely shit camera, but back in the day it was pretty fucking great. Stuff like the first gran turismos are also not very fun to play anymore, when you've played later GT games and Forza that are so much better.

[BisMarckie]

I‘d argue that these games were never great to begin with from a mechanics point of view. MGS looks like shit, but it’s still fun. The same goes for Doom or Quake whereas Goldeneye was always bad and when you take the things away it had going for it, you are left with a bad game, just like Mario 64 was always inferior to the 2 D Marios, however it is still a decent game.

[paprikastaude]

Average games aged poorly. Great ones less so. Like, I wouldn't recommend RE2 to a casual, but to enthusiasts no doubt. Caught up with all Mikami games before Evil Within came out and Dino Crisis was a hundred times more tense than that mess.    Best gen 7 machine was 32 bit aka DS. Randomly picked up PS1 Crash Racing a few years back and was shocked it shits all over modern Mario Kart, which I played hundred of hours. Indies keep copying 16 bit games, but still can't match the old level design made by pros in their prime.
