it's a very good simulation of being RoboCop. you turn up with the AUTO9 , fuck everyone up and then leave.
Had to look them up. Outside of Stray (the cat game) only thing I know them for is Donut County, which was a disappointment because it's a VERY watered down Katamari.
Especially as that faggot Howard Scott Warshaw has overstated the impact of E.T.; when he first did interviews he mentioned someone else did do some art, particularly the title screen (which given the Atari 2600, wasn't bad and the best part of the game) instead of the "yeah I coded it in six weeks". He took credit for "killing" Atari, which in reality was much more complicated.
For the time, ET wasn't that bad of a game. In '86 a friend bought it for me as a Christmas present (maybe as a gag). Constantly falling into the pits at first was a pain, but you could mitigate that somewhat (finessing your way around the screens) and concentrate on finding the phone pieces and avoiding the feds.
This meme edit is gay and lazy and wrong, half the titles besides Undertale and Celeste don't entirely apply to any of the indie slop labels you put forward, it's really just putting every popular ""independent"" game they could name together regardless of if they're actually shit. Off the top of my head, for one, Meat Boy was a flash game from before 2010 that just eventually became a title you could purchase. On the other hand, Risk of Rain as a series actually did some majorly original shit and the second was a masterpiece before Gearbox got their hands on it. Neither of these games/series released with anything I could consider relating to the modern agenda, either. Meat Boy was simply too early (2008, with it becoming a full release in 2010 as Super Meat Boy) for this to apply.I find it very stale today with the same fucking type of games being released (2D pixel art platformer / RPG with an allegory for mental shit, retro 3D-styled game usually also a platformer that flops at capturing the aesthetic, walking simulator with a similar cutesy artstyle, etc), and it's equally pozzed with many trannies being involved in the scene and often sneaking their fetish / political agenda into their games.
Let’s be honest, the Atari 2600 was shit and was going to die. I can’t understand the current retrogaming fad of pretending the games are still worth playing when you can emulate the arcade versions easily or play slightly later consoles.
Even other consoles released relatively soon after it, like the Intellivision or Coleco were technically superior and had controllers that weren't just a stick and a button. The Atari was great for when it came out and offered a cheap enough way to have some games, but it became outdated fast, because of course it did, it was a games console that released in the 70s. Atari nostalgiafags are some of the most pathetic people in the 'retro community' imo because there are almost zero redeeming qualities to make it's games worth playing today.
The thing was technology was advancing FAST in those days and the Atari had been out for over six years when Atari was dismantled. The Atari 5200 was a rebadged version of the Atari 8-bit computers (but not actually compatible with it, nor Atari 2600). By the time the Atari 7800 was released that addressed most of the 5200's issues, it was obsolete from day one and it was two months away from the widespread release of the NES following successful test marketing in major markets.
I couldn't disagree more that the 2600 was shit. It was the best system of the era until the Colecovision came along. The Intellivision and Atari 5200 both had better graphics capabilities, but both systems were hampered, imo, by over-engineered controllers. If I recall, even the Colecovision had a similar issue, but at least the Colecovision had analog controllers. The "controller as pseudo computer keyboard" thankfully died with that generation of consoles.
Only development hell trash. The same ones that have the delusion that you need Hollywood budget to make a successful game. Or they're just full of shit and they make shitty, over-budget games on purpose so they can get their money back from tax evasion and shit.
Wrong! All of them deserve to lose their jobs for making shitty products. Also if you accept working for shitty companies, don't expect any pity when they later decide to fire you.
This is the reason (or part of the reason) for the crash getting exaggerated as much as it. Ever since Call of Duty 4 (and I assume earlier), Nintendo fanboys have had a doomsday cult. If [current trend] continues, there will be a massive crash, then Nintendo will swoop in, save the console industry, and reign for 1000 years. Now say ten hail Shigsy's and go to bed.
