Argue like its the 90s! PC Gaming vs Console Gaming

[ProfessorProfessorson]

Yeah Postal 2 was kind of a over the top sandbox fps of sorts. It was ok, but not what I'd consider a top tier title by any means.

[Arkhan]

I remember in the late 90s when all my dumbass friends got Goldeneye for N64.

The exchange went like this:

Them: HURHURHURHURHURHURHR COME PLAY 007 WE HAVE PAINTBALL MODE

me: f*ck you fags, I have Quake 2.

Them: WHATS A QUAKE 2

me: come watch

them: MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM WE NEED A COMPUTER AND QUAKE 2.

me: lol

My friends were all defective and got N64s.  I had Disruptor, FFVII, X-Com, Oddworld, RE 1 and Re 2,  and f*cking Tobal No. 1

they were jealous as shit about my PS1.

I remember Zelda came out and I was like lolBraveFencerMusashi

it was like taking a 3 year olds puppy and throwing it off a building.   That's how crushed they were.

I don't know zeta, maybe you bring the best out in me. It's funny that i'm not the only person thats being critical of your comments but you always seem to single me out. Maybe that's why I give you so much grief at times. Difference between you and me is atleast i'm curtious enough to extend you some respect and understanding. You can't seem to be able to do that with me at all. Maybe another reason i find it hard to cut you slack. Your right, i just need to back off. Its not like you and i are ever gonna see eye to eye on anything, or that your ever gonna extend any respect to me at all.

You're the one that brought up Eskimos and lesbians and "the man" and conspiracy theories. I never mentioned ANY of that shit. Maybe I'm singling you out because you said the stupidest shit out of anyone here. I called you out on it and this is the best you can do? I ask you to explain yourself and the only answer is "you must just hate me". Wonderful.

I'm not the only one here to say "PC gaming isn't what it used to be" so why are YOU singleing ME out?

[HercTNT]

I told you i'm backing off, so i'm backing off.

[Arkhan]

Eskimo lesbians don't like blubber.

Maybe you should f*cking drop it already and move on. We get it, you don't like fps, or modern war games of any type, or graphic flight and racing sims, or Dawn of War or Company of Heroes or hundreds of other games you have never even tried. No big deal, to each their own. No one would have singled you out to begin with had you not went on some wild detailed tangent showing us just how little you actually do know about modern pc gaming, and how you think the only popular modern FPS being played is some game about Americans shooting sand people. Shit was already dying down and it would be great to get back on topic concerning the 90's stuff, for serious.

I edited the poll to make it a little more clear.

No one likes Frungy?   Does anyone recognize the reference? :cool:

On another note.... been playing some Xcom Terror from the Deep... <3

[HercTNT]

i know frungy is from star control, but i don't understand its meaning. xcom is a fantastic game, to bad i suck at it. strategy games have never been my strong point. Warcraft 2 is probably my all time favorite and i barely made it through.

[Arkhan]

Terror From the Derp is more like it.


I'm gonna fire up motherf*ckin WING COMMANDER tonight.

Shit's so hood.   I got it for 1.29$ at Goodwill.

[DragonmasterDan]

I go with console gaming here. I like some PC games, but the consoles are where I'm most comfortable.

[Necromancer]

Fun games are fun games, be they console, handheld, or PC.  I play pretty much nothing on the PC now (I've got enough PCE and PSP stuff to keep me plenty busy), but my play time was pretty evenly split between the Turbob and PC back in the early 90s.  Early on my PC favs included King's Quest and other point-n-clicks, Raptor, GTA 1 & 2, Wolfenstein 3D, and Heretic; in the late 90s to early 00s, I was playing the various Command & Conquer titles, Dune 2000, Emperor: Battle for Dune, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and the 3D GTAs.

[Digi.k]

kinda miss the old dos boot up disks and fiddling around with stuff like himem just trying to get games to work properly.

Also really hated the old adlib sound card and were soo expensive in those days and I thought the sound was just superior on pc-e hucards.

It wasn't till I got hold of the gravis ultrasound card and updating it to 1meg ram where the pc sound being more affordable was able to match and in some cases outdo the Amiga 500 sound chip.  Also disliked the lack of joypad support for pc for arcadey games.

Anyway I did enjoy games like Kings quest 5 & 6 along with a slew of lucasarts point and click games.

Those days here in the UK, Virgin handled the master system and elevated it way above Nintendo and it wasn't until the marketing of Mutant hero/ninja turtles was when nintendo got their foot in the door here.

Personally I thought consoles just beat all pc's in those days mainly because games just ran much smoother and had less hardware conflicts better controllers and I really had a dislike for all these game options for pc games.

Also it was pc engine's r-type that won me over.  I thought the amiga translation was just poor

[Tatsujin]

its allaobut JPN games won over european games back tehn..lololwoowowwo. sorry am le drunken..hhe .

[420GOAT]

i could never navigate pc games...they just seemed harder. i can pick up a controler and get it on!.

[KnightWarrior]

Console Gaming for me
