If you ever wanted to know what System Wars was like 10 years ago here it is. Man even back then nothing has changed. Seems like it was no different then today. Plus you notice some topics of people getting angry at the Super Mario Sunshine review score. No different then today where you have people getting angry at their favourite hyped game getting a flopped score in Gamespot. Too bad you can't actually go and read the messages in the topics but judging by the title you can tell what they are about.

I don't know, I mean... Solid Snake said it changed, and I guess with MGS4 recieving a 10 he might have some merit there.

Maybe.

So many _basic users! The boards really do change. Almost none of those names are around today.

I used to post on OT back in 2002-2003 with an old account which I deleted (I think GS used to have the delete acct feature) but all of the old users I remember simply aren't around anymore. Either that or, like me, those users have a different name (something not _basic lol).

I only ever came to Gamespot for Dreamcast cheats. I never did go on the forums as I never made an account until 2004.

Yeah, I think its a rare kind of person that lowers the bar for internet virgin fanboys arguing about which piece of plastic is better.

And he certainly does that.

I've been checking this site for news & reviews since the Genny dayzz :o and I dunno, in about 05-06 stumbled upon SW and would LMAO at some of the shenanigans going on so one day decided to join up and it seems shortly after that, the forum became so umm, I dunno, mod happy that the silly fun soon stopped but the mod's have relaxed that a bit and I think there is now a happy medium.

How can so much stupidity exist in one single human being? You probably weren't even born yet when this stuff was happening.

You had no choice, if you had a free account it ended in _basic
