  • AfterShafter posted a message in the forum topic Rumor central: Chrono Cross may be getting a remake. on the System Wars board

    Really never got the love for this game. It always struck me as the little brother of Chrono Trigger, always living very much in the shadow of a far better game, and likely wouldn't have got a fractio...

  • AfterShafter posted a message in the forum topic I got a my gf pregnant. on the Off-Topic Discussion board

    If you've been posting here for 15 years, you're likely an adult. This may sound like a dismissal, but it might be time to take that mantle seriously. If you're going to be a father, be a father an...

  • AfterShafter posted a message in the forum topic In terms of games, are you pleased or dissapointed by this gen so far?. on the System Wars board

    I wouldn't say disappointed so much as underwhelmed. Console upgrade cycles moved from leading to a veritable tectonic shift in graphic capabilities to being more like a graphics card upgrade, and t...

  • AfterShafter posted a message in the forum topic Is Microsoft actually in the lead this gen ??. on the System Wars board

    Nah. They put up a good enough fight to keep their fans holding out though. Frankly though, if you like what they're doing, you really shouldn't care about whether they're winning or not. If you d...

  • AfterShafter posted a message in the forum topic "It's hard to launch a $120 million game on a subscription service charging $9.99 a month" - Shawn Layden. on the System Wars board

    Sounds a lot like an excuse designed to make fans give them a pass for doing a worse job than their competitors.

  • AfterShafter posted a message in the forum topic Skyward Sword ... is not bad. on the System Wars board

    Meh, people have been overrated Zelda games for literally decades. Nice to hear one finally assessed as "not bad," which is probably about where it actually lands.

    @uninspiredcup said:Halflife is a masterpiece. You are correct.Oh, I agree. Loved Half Life. The funny thing is, pretty much every time I've seen a "rate your best games" thread a decade out from t...

  • AfterShafter posted a message in the forum topic Is 30fps still acceptable in 2021?. on the System Wars board

    Sure. Frankly, for most games it really doesn't matter. Nor does 4k. Hell, even 720p is fine for a lot of gaming situations. But, it's the same generation after generation... People who were pro...

    @WitIsWisdom said:Comparing a flight sim to just about any genre outside of flight sim is pointless. I always hate when people say things like "Which game is better NBA 2K21 or Tertris?" (just throwin...

  • AfterShafter posted a message in the forum topic Microsoft Flight Simulator vs PS5 exclusives so far?. on the System Wars board

    Big environment vehicle games tend to look extraordinarily good. You don't have to worry as much about textures and weird visual artifacts that appear up close when you tend to be whipping through e...

  • AfterShafter posted a message in the forum topic What are your top three video games of all time?. on the System Wars board

    You know, one thing I'll add to this is that, every time I see one of these threads mentions of Halo inevitably outnumber mentions of Half-Life. This is a bit funny when, having been around when dis...

  • AfterShafter posted a message in the forum topic What are your top three video games of all time?. on the System Wars board

    With over three decades gaming now, it's tough to pick a top three. The first place is obvious, but after that it is tough.1) Planescape: Torment2) Civilization: IV3) Street Fighter IVPossible consi...

  • AfterShafter posted a message in the forum topic Media outlets are boycotting Activision Blizzard. Should Gamespot do the same?. on the Games Discussion board

    Personally, I'd prefer media distribution companies not make the decision for me. I come to Gamespot for news about gaming, and Activision/Blizzard is/are some of the biggest companies in gaming. I...

    I find its general appeal here is directly proportional to how well one's console of choice does it. Personally, couldn't care less. There is not one time in my life where I've sat down to play a g...
