Guest Sakura Report post Posted June 26, 2003 What are some games that everyone hates but you enjoy? Maybe you just honestly like them? Maybe they're guilty pleasures? Maybe you see their flaws and just don't care? One of mine would have to be Street Fighter The Movie. Yep, I like it. Playing it right now for Saturn. There is just this charm to it. I know the gameplay is like a really awful port of Super Turbo...but I like the badly digitized graphics. It's funny, it's like an expirement gone wrong. I also like how different it is. It's Street Fighter....but not. The music is also legit good. It's too bad the PSX and Saturn versions are completely different than the arcade version. I liked the arcade one too. Mortal Kombat 3, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Mortal Kombat Trilogy are probably the biggest though. Like 99% of the fanbase likes II more but I have always liked 3 the most. Not in a guilty pleasure "well it's funny" way either. I love MK3. I LIKE Kurtis Stryker. I have always been a huge fan of the post-armageddon Chicago atmosphere, I love the chain combos and the faster pace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest KoR Fungus Report post Posted June 27, 2003 Dance Dance Revolution I don't feel the least bit guilty about loving DDR. It's an incredible game, and it's almost always the case that the people that hate it are the people that have never played it. My guilty pleasures are bad old fighters. We were playing Rise of the Robots, TMNT: Tournament Fighters and MK3 the other day, and I was totally into all of them. TMNT especially, I actually thought that was a really good game. Unfortunately all my friends thought I was crazy and it doesn't look like they'll ever play them again. Bah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted June 27, 2003 Good Lord, Sakura. I like your posts and all, but it seems to me you like some pretty games. Don't take it personally, just saying. Street Fighter: The Movie in the arcade was an uber-crappy bastardized SF that played like Mortal Kombat, had glitched gameplay and horrible character balance. The home version had washed out graphics, and the worst music in a Street Fighter. Ever. Elevator music in a freakin' fighting game? I pity Raul Julia lending his likeness to that pile of crap before he bought the farm. However, I guess the fact that it was the closest thing we got to a Super SF2 Turbo at home without getting a 3D0 until SF Collection was released won you over probably has a lot to do with you liking it. As for myself, I actually enjoyed War Gods during the brief amount of time I rented it. I guess kicking the crap out of some people for a little while, seeing the fatalities, and getting rid of it is the best way to enjoy it. As for myself, I liked the old 16-bit wrestling games, save for Super Wrestlemania on SNES. I played Rumble and Raw both extensively, although I know they got a lot of bad reviews. Some people hated Wrestlemania the Arcade Game--but fuck 'em. I suppose the people who liked Xenosaga can chime in on this thread as well. MK1 SNES was a decent rental as well. Nintendo's censoring was retarded, but it still played like MK, and more so than the Genesis version. Of course, it was MKI, so the series hadn't yet gotten to the point of controlling well or being able to stand on its own without gore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CED Ordonez Report post Posted June 27, 2003 Like KoR Fungus said, DDR isn't a "Good Bad" game. More like a "Good but Terribly Misunderstood by the General Public" game. I really like playing games based off anime titles even though they range in between terrible to sub-par levels for the most part. Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle for the SNES and DBZ Budokai for the PS2 come to mind. My worst guilty pleasure? Sailor Moon R (import) for the SNES. ...quiet, you...

Guest Sakura Report post Posted June 27, 2003 played like Mortal Kombat Elevator music in a freakin' fighting game? It may look like Mortal Kombat but it surely does not play a thing like it. Boot up the ROM in mame, the arcade version is nothing like MK. Elevator music? I don't remember the arcade soundtrack but it is not elavtor music on PSX or Saturn. You're thinking of the wrong soundtrack. I had/have Super Turbo on PC. I like War Gods and WM: The Arcade Game too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rendclaw 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2003 Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle was a fun game... Yu Yu Hakusho for the MD/genesis was a lot of fun, too. I thought that Royal Rumble was the best 16 bit domestic wrestling game out there... then I started play NJPW titles and there was one female puro game that was just *sick* to watch... I wish I could remember it. Everyone is entitled to their opinipons as to what they like, but WM Arcade and SF: the movie?? You're both sick. EDIT: Speaking of SSF2T, I found a Grand Master version of that, and DAMN is it hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cavi Report post Posted June 27, 2003 I also love MK3. I think everything about the game just rules, especially the atmosphere and presentation. The first GTA game was not exactly liked (though the press seemed to come down with a bout of revisionist history when GTAIII came out), but it was my favorite game back in 1998. At first, I though it was quite bad, but my friend continued to push it on me and I really warmed up to it. And last, but certainly not in the least, I totally mark for Way of the Warrior. What an amazingly pimp game. Major Gains, Ninja (what an awesome name for a, well, ninja!), and Shaky Jake are just too cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agent_Bond34 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2003 Beavis & Butthead for Genesis. That game ruled. It was always a bitch, getting the ticket pieces.

That combo is a series of punches, a couple kicks, a barrage of razor swipes, ankle grab, and "NOBODY--MESSES--WITH--THE BAD GUY!!" I can practically remember most of the main combination moves from memory I've played that game so much. I owned Wrestlemania Arcade on 32X!! YES, IT REALLY DID EXIST!! It may not have been as good as the PS version, but it still had the soundtrack albeit in crappy Genesis sound. And what's wrong with liking the 32X version of VF? In many ways it was better than the Saturn version. However, while we're on the subject, I had a 32X and liked a lot of the games, like Metal Head and the worst "Sonic" game ever, Chaotix. I'd still play Chaotix if I could play it on another machine that didn't take up so much space and wasn't such a pain to maintain. I also had Raw for 32X and NBA Jam for 32X Elevator music? I don't remember the arcade soundtrack but it is not elavtor music on PSX or Saturn. You're thinking of the wrong soundtrack. Maybe that's not what I mean to describe it, but it had this soft, wussy, throughly un-SF-like soundtrack for the home version. I never played the arcade game more than once so I don't even remember it. And the arcade WAS very MKish. There were single-button charge moves and tap-tap attacks.

Guest Will Scarlet Report post Posted July 1, 2003 Ephemeral(sp?) Fantasia - I am not to sure how well this game went over with gamers, but good god, was it panned by the critics. Sure, it had a concept which really didn't work out, but I felt it was a nice change from the usual RPG's I played. Of course, game reviewers saw this different, "IT'S A FF7 RIPOFF!" they screamed. "IT WAS TOO HARD!!!!!" they cried after playing the game for about 5 minutes. If anything, this game taught me to beware of game reviewers, like one who admitted to playing this game for an hour, getting stuck, quitting, and calling it the worst game ever made and a FF7 ripoff because their head villain just happened to resemble Sephiroth. I am just glad that I stuck with it and played it all the way through. Had I listened to reviews, I would never bought this game based on the opinions of a bunch of losers who were not good enough to get past the first level. I also liked Final Fantasy 8. I guess I don't get the overwhelming hate of this game just like I don't get the overwhelming love for Final Fantasy 7. Then again, I played this game first, so that could be why. Tokimeki Memorial - a Japanese dating simualtion game. I find it fun, now if I only could read Japanese... I always enjoy most of the Smackdown games. I know a lot of people say they hate the Smackdown engine, but I always felt that the game was closer to WWE style than No Mercy was. Plus, I love wrestling squash matches on those games. WWF Attitude - I loved playing as Kane and squashing jobbers in handicap matches. It brought joy to my day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had NBA Jam T.E., Wrestlemania the arcade game (which did rule) Virtual Fighter and some other games I can't really remember. All I know is that most other people I talked to didn't like the VF game much, so I fgured it was the majorities opinion. I loved it and owned everyone in that game. The Wrestlemania game, I could only get Taker, Luger, Razor and sometimes Brets BIG combos to work. I got Shawns one time and it was a thing of beauty. I think it was a barrage of punches, 4 side kicks, 4 back drops and a drop kick. Beautiful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted July 2, 2003 Yup, I had a 32X. 2 in fact. I bought one originally for 150 bucks (I was a kid with Christmas money, okay?), and after it bombed I was so pissed I threw it out a window and broke it, and traded in the games for a pittance. I did end up getting another one as part of a package deal, and played and beat Chaotix, as well as the other two or three good games on it (WM, NBA Jam, and Virtua Fighter). I had Primal Rage also which came with it, but it sucked no less on 32X than it did on any other system. Ended up selling the stuff to my brother in law, though. I do kinda wish Sega would have Chaotix as part of the next Mega Collection, along with Sonic CD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest J*ingus Report post Posted July 2, 2003 and calling it the worst game ever made and a FF7 ripoff because their head villain just happened to resemble Sephiroth. This brings up an interesting point that I've wondered about for a while now: which came out first in Japan, FFVII or the anime Cowboy Bebop? Because Sephiroth and Bebop's main villain, Vicious, look a lot alike. Both have long white/gray hair, both wear long black coats, both have gigantic swords despite living in an era of guns, both are chased by young heroes with really tall hair who used to work with the villain but now hate him because he did something bad to a girl they loved. Coincedence? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Special K Report post Posted July 2, 2003 Yeah, I'd say coincidence. Vicious may seem a bit Sephiroth-y in look and even attittude (though he wasn't crazy.) But the plots are as disparate as can be. Though FF7 definitely came out 1st, since Bebop came out in Japan in '98 and I believe FF7 came out in the U.S. in 97. As for good/bad games, I HATED Grandia, which gets a lot of love, and quite enjoyed Grandia Xtreme which was mostly panned by critics/fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, he was a hidden character in WWF Raw, the slight upgrade to the 16-bit games which came out far earlier. Raw came out not long after the 32X's launch.

EC: Challenge From The Dark Side is a very cool game. I'm a huge mark for it. Other than the CPU being insanely hard (I would say it's quite possibly the hardest fighting game ever), it's fun when playing against another person. It was also the first fighting game to ever have unlockable characters, though I doubt many were able to unlock them in the standard fashion as the requirements were pretty ridiculous. Thankfully, you can just enter codes to unlock them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
