NBA Live 18 seems like it can't catch up with a titan...so WWG ponders why EA Sports just doesn't try to do something different...
Isaac Clarke of Dead Space fame has appeared in many games, both as a playable character and an Easter Egg. Have you played them all?
Yes, it is much harder to start a retro collection in 2022 than it was in 2017, but it’s still possible! You’ll see there are still quite a few SNES games that are fun and affordable.
I really enjoyed Commando as a kid and it’s not listed . I bet it’s cheap maybe? Beat all 99 levels just to find out you start all over again .
You must be talking about Captain Commando and no it's not cheap...going for about $130.
Any retro console is still worth buying in 2022 whether a Genesis, NES, SMS, TG16. Some systems command a higher price then others but a SNES is still reasonably priced and worth grabbing you can mod the NA SNES to play Japanese games throw in an Everdrive and you're set. I feel sorry for some of the consoles I see on Ebay that have holes in them, yellowed to death, modified with shitty mods that barely work. The SNES might need a little work great way to learn if yellowed just use peroxide and UV light and it will turn white again. If you have a hobby of repairing older consoles that are listed as untested broken for parts some of the repairs are basic you can save money that way when buying a retro console. I just bought a $20 NES listed as broken on Ebay disable the lock out chip and new 72pin connector and it works.
I imagine restoration work on retro consoles is going to become much more important as the years wear on. Sure, hundreds of thousands of certain consoles were made, but fewer exist every year.
Depends on the console a SNES for sure needs retrobrite the plastic grows brittle and literally falls apart same with the NES. A White Dreamcast also needs retrobrite if I remember right the TG16 needs new capacitors it suffers the same issue as the Game Gear. Most of the old handhelds need new screens since they fail with age my Game Gear had new capacitors put in and a McWill mod done to it. The NES needs the lock out chip disabled when the power light turns on and off maybe throw in a new 72pin as well. Sega Master System has an issue blowing out the 7805 voltage regulator. OG Xbox depending on the board revision needs a clock capacitor removed or it leaks and fries the board. N64 controller needs a new thumbstick Sega Genesis model 2 suffers from the solder around the power supply is prone to cracking hence the system will not power up. Sega CD model 1 the laser dies fast model 2 the rubber feet supporting the drive fail and the model is know to throw the pico fuse so it dies fast as well.
It also depends how you treat the system also I baby my shit. I don't throw it around like a football the systems I see that might need the most help going through the years are the ones that use lasers and discs. I know some systems have problems due to how they were built as well like again certain board revisions of an OG Xbox and the Game Gear. I have bought broken systems and picked them for parts. I actually enjoy fixing older systems it's relaxing and a great way to teach yourself new skills.
Turning 64 this year.....my days playing video games are Now over.... time to move on to Jesus Christ .....I wish all of you Happy New Year . Game on Dudes!!!
It was fun while it lasted.
The Sega Genesis is a tad underappreciated. This site has already posted about how this console was great for the RPG genre despite the SNES getting more glory. However, that was not the only genre that flourished on the Genesis/Mega Drive.
Shining Force is on my long list of game series should be revived. Same with console Phantasy Star
Shining Force 1, 2 and 3 were awesome, the third one can only be played with emulation along with the translation project because of Episode 2 and 3 that were only released in JP. But I agree, I don't know why SEGA don't revive this franchise, tactics games are very well accepted these days.
I didn't know that about the third one. After the success of the last Fire Emblem, I can't imagine why we don't get more tactics RPGs out there. I'd even take a tactics ogre at this point
YES
i love shining force. i need a bundle with all the games in it.
but the mobile game is coming soon anyways :)
I'm sorry but I feel the list has been made by a person checking his own backlog catalog.
Mortal Kombat 2? missing half of the sounds and animation from the arcade.
And can we say Super dark soul difficulty when we say Earthworm Jim 2
Here's my pick for still holding up and fun
- Shinobi Shadow Dancer, not too tough nor too easy with a good arcade challenge 1 hour long to complete.
- Gunstar Heroes
- Nhl 94
- Thunder Force 3
Great lost with lots of memories. A reboot of the Shadowrun game and Shining Force would keep me entertained and busy for a long time.
-Soleil
-Sonic 2, 3 and knuckles, pinball
-that one x-men game i always forget its name
-that one fighting game that has different characters (a fishmen, an assassin lady, a private detective from the 70s etc)
-shining force 2
-dynamite heady (probably the best looking genesis game, imo)
-wonderboy in monster world
those are the ones that come to mind ha.
Sega CD version is so much better though.. I had both versions back in the 90's
I'd LOVE a new NBA Street, although a HD remake of NBA Street v3 would be fine as well...
Loved that game. EA was on fire back then (NBA Street v3, SSX3, Burnout 3, Def Jam FFNY, etc).
EA should get NBA Street or a new Fight Night going.
lot of people do not understand, nba live is arcade basketball just toned down a lot, basically you can get away with a lot of things, if you learn the game mechanics, dunk easily even with defense on you and etc
nba 2k is more of a real simulation, you cannot dunk easily in that game, well you can in 2k10 this why my boy hate newer 2k he would dunk at anytime with Lebron and although you can block, the game would not let you get it as much as you want even if you had good timing..... in newer 2k you cannot just go up for a dunk, there is body physics, just like in real life if you do not have enough space to take off the person body in front of you will stop your momentum from going to the basket to dunk, so you cannot always push your way.......and you cannot do crazy passes like in Live, the computer is ready to steal it just like a person would in real life.....you have to use plays to be good in newer 2k versions, to get your guy open, the space needed to do the dunks or get wide open shots......you need to make plays where the other team have to double you, and by doing that you have a player wide open at 3 point line to make them pay for double teaming you.........2k like real nba is a chess game, right plays help you win
nba live, you can play with out plays, pick and roll every day and the computer cannot defend you properly
nba live from 2005 and lower were more arcade, remember kevin garnett a big player, even shaq doing backflips before he dunk the ball lmaooo, over the years nba live try to tone down the arcade feel of the game to make it more simulation like 2k, they are not there yet.......but nba live 2018 is the right step, right now they at 2k10 level where its easy to get dunks......if they can keep it up and nail it down in 2 or 3 years they will finally get it on what it mean to be real simulation, and then it would not matter which version you get, both would be good games......but I could not leave.....I love my career mode on nba 2k, building a player up from nothing......to a super star........working out, grinding in practice, and etc give the mode a RPG feeling that I like and it works so well
for those that are trying to play me in nba 2k, I moved on from ps4 nba 2k17......next nba 2k will be on the switch nba 2k18
Nba live 18> Nba 2k17 and if you say anything different I know you're a sheep. Plenty of youtubers who are 2k loyal are saying the same thing, even went as far as to say 2k18 < live 18. I played both and I enjoyed both, Live 18 is more difficult than 2k, however the live grading system is more forgiving than 2k18. Live mechanics feel better to me, but the shooting feels better on 2k. The 2k18 storymode (my career) feels worst than live 18 story mode, seems like another cheesy thing. The playground is an interesting concept but we all know will be a laggy mess. Live approach solves the waiting for 40 minutes to run a game with randoms and lose.
They both have pros and cons, both are decent games, if one had everything the other did then they'd be complete basketball games.
If you have the money get both, if not, TRY the demos and make your decision there, STOP being sheep and choose your own path.
They need to stop making NBA Live so they can go back to making Fight Night but I know EA is not smart enough to do that.
