GBAtemp's Golden Threads Thread

[Black-Ice]

Comeback of the Decade.

 

[BORTZ]

just FYI "Golden Threads" are what Samurai Jack is collecting in the rerelease comic series now.

(...) Case in point, the PS1 sold over 100 million units and had a considereably larger library then the N64, but how many great games were there, how many ground breaking games were there? Not a whole ton, there was a vastly high ratio of shovelware compared to quality titles on the PS1 while the N64 had a smaller but more consistently good quality library. One must also remember how easily the PS1 was to mod, but at the same time a lot of people had to rebuy their systems because the mod chips broke them. (...)

What did we learn today, kids?

• The PS1 doesn't have a lot of groundbreaking games
• The N64 has a library of consistently good quality games
• The PS1 sold so well because people were replacing their consoles due to faulty modchips

Feel enlightened.

Now I'm one who would back up the N64 from unnecessary hate, but even I think that quote is stupid.

Because I'm requesting the whole off topic stuff be removed from that thread, here's my reply so we can all see how stupidly wrong he is.

There's a total of 110 games here that sold over 1 million copies, almost a third of the N64's entire library. Please, go shove your Nintendo dildo up your ass somewhere else

You might be too good to list all the games, Foxi4, but I'm not

You act like 1 million copies is fucking hard to do, it's not. Even some of the most average games sell stupidly well because people are dumb enough to buy them. Oh and I like how what you disagree with is 'wrong'. Go fuck yourself you arrogant tool.

If it's not so fucking hard, how come the N64 only had 40 games that sold over a million? How come the Gamecube had hardly half that many? It's fine to like Nintendo and all, but constantly shoving a fat fucking Nintendo-branded dildo up your ass in front of everyone just isn't acceptable. Please, go be a fucking moron somewhere else

What you said earlier is objectively "wrong" - the PlayStation 1 console, ecosystem and library of games laid the foundations of contemporary gaming. We use the Dual Shock setup to this day, it's been emulated ever since, and a great number of long-running franchises we know and love that changed the face of gaming started off on the PlayStation. This isn't a matter of perspective, this is historical fact.

 

[Foxi4]

Honestly, there are barely any good third party games so I have no clue about what your talking about. Just try naming more third party games that anyone wold find interesting.

Im not stating my opinion and the fact is there are barely any good thrid party games isnt my opinion, it's the opinion of everyone

You think im trolling around,perhaps the only good third party game is planes 3d and that new my little pony game their planning to make

No, we do not. It was locked by the staff because it "caused Flamewars and was an outlet for mocking other members"... which is true, but also hilarious.

Oh yeah, I think I remember hearing about that

 

[Hyro-Sama]

I thought the #ShitGBATempSays thread was locked because DiabloStorm was being butthurt about his rape comments in the shoutbox.

 

[Veho]

We use the Dual Shock setup to this day

So we have the PS1 to blame for condemning a large portion of the gaming world to mediocrity for so long.

You have the developers to blame for that - nobody forces them to use the setup, it's entirely optional. If they feel like it, they can use the D-Pad or just feature both control schemes.

Good luck hitting me with a dual analog- oh crap I just remembered dual analogs have auto aiming because it's the only way you can hit something with one ;O;

I am doomed ;O;
