System Wars lounge V 87: The Immersive old school sim Masterpiece Edition

@jg4xchamp:

Hall of famer 🤣

we're the new Browns, show some respect

If you think Antonio Brown isn't a hall of famer, you're an idiot. Dude had 6 straight seasons with a 100+ catches, 1200 yards (including 4 seasons where he went 1499 or higher, 2 of which are over 1600), went double digit touchdowns 4 times in his career. Led the league in receptions twice, yards twice, touchdowns once.

7 pro bowls, 4 All Pros (so 4 times he produced top 2 receiver in the league). The only receivers better than him during that era are Megatron and Julio Jones, and Julio is a maybe, you get more yardage with Julio, but Antonio caught like 20 more touchdowns. Bonus points: he was a lot more productive in the playoffs once he became the starting receiver on the steelers, as opposed to being buried on the depth chart behind Hines Ward and Mike Wallace.

He sure as shit deserves it more than some of the quarterbacks they put in, and will be trying to put in.

@jg4xchamp: ya, he's not getting in. But not because of his play. It's pretty obvious...

Well whatever i aint exactly in the business of guessing what the idiots who vote in players and acted like TO and Chris Carter weren't first ballot. But those of us that actually saw these people play, know that Antonio Brown was a top 2 or 3 receiver of the 2010s.

He is in every sense of the word a hall of famer. He became a piece of shit since the burfict hit lol, but i mean come on.

@jg4xchamp: No doubt. He's crazy good. Still remember when he torched redskins on Monday night.

His route running was godlike. Those double moves he would hit people with were filthy.

Oh my god the stuff he did the browns. He curb stomped the browns punter. He fucking caught a short pass, ran all the way to the endzone, and hit a front flip after. Dude was a freak. You think Steelers fans still cursing Vontez Burfict for that legal ass hit that clearly gave Antonio Brown that extra CTE

@jg4xchamp: He was one who jump kicked that punter thinking he was going low 🤣

Ya, his route running and his ability to adjust to the ball was second to none at the time.

Superb Ruby tackle. Excellent choke hold from granny.

Kinda sad that no one is looking forward to this neither media is promoting this game as it looks old school stealth FPS game and is breath of fresh air in medioce AAAA games we gotten in past years.

@ghosts4ever: yeah saw an article on that the other day. looks right up my street. prefer the look of it to the sniper elite games. pc only apparently

its coming to consoles too anyways.

but its not AAA mainstream enough to warrant advertisement.

RP'ing Tarkov2 before its even released

@hardwenzen: Ignoring "the politics", this war is really interesting in that it's kinda the first of its kind (on this scale at least) where it's readily available to share online in such a transparent manner. Be it horrific, intense or mundane.

Like, if you want, you can pay to see the war from a satellite top-down view as shit is actually happening.

It's a problem Russia had when it denied culpability for Bucha. Their old tactics didn't really work, as parts of it were recorded as it happened via zoomed in satellite photos correlated with smart-phone pictures. Unless you're Alex Jones or Qanon, they were verifiably talking out their ass where all they could do was claim "false flag".

So much crazy footage on youtube. If a dev wants to make a military sim, they have a lot of content to base it off of.

Weird watching the Ukraine conflict, (barely) learned how to operate a Ka-(50) in DCS, and now I get to 52 get blown to shit.

Buratino missiles or whatever they're called are f up. Never heard of that thing before.

From stuff read Russians use that shit on civilians happily.

HIMAR seems like the complete opposite, only has 1 pod, but it's much longer range and super, super specific to the point of being within meters.

While Russia blows it load hitting (at best) in the vague direction expending hundreds of rockets, HIMAR with US intelligence can take out key targets right away at a safe distance.

Yea the HIMARs seem pretty OP. Accuracy within 2 meters is insane.

@uninspiredcup: Cup, Do you see MGS is inspired by star wars?

Solid snake = Luke Skywalker

Darth vader = Big Boss

Death star = Metal Gear

Lol...

^^

@ghosts4ever: Metal Gear Solid was inspired by the likes of Rambo, Escape From New York, X-files anime etc...

He always copies the Sam/Western showdown, except no one ever shuts the **** up. And it goes on for 9 hours.

Hmm

the repeat of story.

kojima retelling the similar story.

you first play as solid snake (luke skywalker) and main villain is big boss (darth vader). then we saw prequel the story of big boss/naked snake (anakin skywalker) who was hero and then turn into villain. both are protagonist father.

something I observe Hideo kojima took star wars storyline and make his own thing.

@ghosts4ever: Na. And this kind of stuff existed long before Starwars my freind.

The most obvious example is Mordred or Macbeth. Where basically told by witches they will get all the shit in the world, but everything crumbles. Something about reaching too high for easy peasy.

Throne Of Blood (Japan Land) has a dope version.

@uninspiredcup: damn that could have been amazing. truly. would love to go the cinema and watch that at halloween. can never find anything remotely decent to watch when it comes round every year. everything disappoints, often spectacularly

Noticed today how ugly the new Crazy Taxi cover is. Remembered the original American one.

New digital cover on Steam and other services:

It's typical. Paintings and drawings are seen as archaic, whether they're movie covers or video game covers.

Lara Croft with massive boobas obliterating a man. Haven't seen someone mald this hard in a while.

Russia telling new recruits with zero training to bring their mom's & girlfriend tampons to treat bullet wounds. Dumbest shit i heard since they've been suggesting to wear 2-3 masks for covid.

@jaydan:

So my friend, you dont like bourne or john wick trilogy and think they are inferior to before.

do you prefer Star wars trilogy or before trilogy? over those 2.

It's not just my opinion, the Before trilogy is more highly acclaimed than all of those franchises.

I don't even like Star Wars so that's not even a question to me.

movie critics are even worse. especially when they gave oscar to la la land which was trash musical movie.

even opening of star wars is better than entire before trilogy lol.

Audience scores:

Before Sunrise: 93%

Before Sunset: 92%

Before Midnight: 82%

‐-----‐--------------------

John Wick: 81%

John Wick Chapter 2: 85%

John Wick Chapter 3: 86%

The joke's on you, because even without critics audiences overall say the Before trilogy is better than John Wick. The only one that rivals is the third installment in both series, but overall the Before trilogy kicks John Wick's ass as I've been telling you.

LOL what does score has to do with it?

Before trilogy suck. just look at his main character

LMAO!! what the hell is he doing? this is what we do when we were kids. making telephone by hand.

now look at how badass john wick is

@ghosts4ever: Look, all I'm saying is the Before trilogy is more acclaimed than John Wick. I know it bugs you but that's your personal problem.

but why you always bring John wick?

@ghosts4ever: because John Wick is your bff

@ghosts4ever: Ethan Hawke is a million times a better actor than Keanu Reeves ever will be, and that's an objective fact.

@jaydan:

if you only go by critics check this out

The entire star wars trilogy have better ranking than before shit trilogy lol.

After posting this garbage re-watched ROTS, been a while. Always liked how power was like a drug to Sith that even the thought of being killed sexually excited them.

@ghosts4ever: I never disputed Star Wars. I only state the facts that Before trilogy kicks John Wick's ass.

@uninspiredcup: Cup, is there any good star wars game? other than Jedi fallen order?

because I really cant find one. dont like KOTOR. not my type.

@ghosts4ever: Squadrons is actually really good. Alot of youngers these days haven't really played a "space sim" so they assumed it was just the space section from Battlefront. Playing it in VR is about as close as get to being in the space pew pew movie. It's easily one of the best VR titles made.

X Wing VS Tie-Fighter is it's grandfather (and better) along with other entires.

But those are space-sims doubt play those.

Episode 1: Racer is an excellent Wipeout clone.

But that's a racing game doubt play those.

Force Unleashed I/II for all this shit it got is pretty fun.

But that's a hack-in-slash game doubt play those.

Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds and Empire At War are great, espically with Clone Wars mods.

But that's a RTS game doubt play those.

Guess limited to playing Dark Forces I/II. But those are old school doubt play those.

For my money the three best Starwars games are 1. KOTOR 2 2. Dark Forces II 3. Xwing VS Tie-Fighter

Think most fans generally agree Xwing VS Tie-Fighter is the best, or one of the best.

Console gamers be a different story, they fap to KOTOR.

I played bunch of star wars games. and most of them just suck

dont know why most of them are mediocre. and yes im talking about old school star wars games.

try jedi knight games. dark force is too outdated and i feel like those games are good for level design but gameplay/shooting suck. Jedi outcast is more age well but bad FPS yet ok lightsaber force game in good level design. worth a buy praise it to cover hate for modern games yet this game is also medicore lol.

tried republic commando. its bad Halo game. no fun. its just Halo in star wars universe. shit FPS.

didnot played KOTOR. dont want to. but its what consider best star wars game.

Jedi fallen order despite having problems is definitely best star wars game. and now they are also making star wars FPS which I hope respawn can make first good star wars FPS. its hard to make star wars FPS good because star wars gunplay just suck.

respawn were clever enough to make entire game full lightsaber game.

@ghosts4ever: Guess have to play the Dune mobile game.

I though Dune movie was going to be star wars done right means its doing what new generation star wars failed but it was also faliure.

beside I will try forced unleashed. heard you fight palpatine and vader. I never fought those in games.

Man that last Super arc was terrible. Don't read manga that much, but have a nostalgia fondness for the Dragonballs.

In the original manga/series the entire point of the story, and character is that Frieza views Sayian' as a threat, killing off their planet for fear of a Super Sand Lesbian and inadvertently through trying to make them extinct creates one.

Now, because the character became mega-popular, basically the franchise's equivalent of the Joker. "i'll let Broly live, he will be a rival", "I'll let Goku and Vegita live they will be my rival".

Kinda turning into MCU shit with key-jangles where everyone gets a new form every 25 seconds cause that's what people know about the franchise.

In the original show a massive chunk of it is not even knowing if it's actually a real thing. When watch that as a kid the pay-off is immense.

Now just throwing shit at the wall. And actually going in loops as well.

Antonio Brown is one of the best route runners I've ever seen. The dude made some of the best corners of this era look straight up garbage trying to cover him. Even that game last season where Brown took his jersey off and walked off the field, he ran this BEAUTIFUL route that had the corner all turned around.
