:lol:lolDrGAKMAN said:Let's just say it infuriates me to no end that everyone praises Sony so much when they only got where they were 'cos Nintendo made mistakes. I don't think they should be credited for the 3D era, nor do I think loss leading and hollywood sized budgets are things that are gonna help this industry. It made me blind with rage that I was punching and swinging at stale air.
Miyamoto once said (durring the golden era when Nintendo was on top) that he wished games could be seen as a more than just toys...Sony has be a critical part in making games into more than toys, but at the same time people who once made fun of the ol' days that I (and many other Nintendo nerds loved SO MUCH) are now suddenly "gamers" just 'cos it's popular. To me, these people aren't gamers...they're posers, but since I'm the N-tard I don't have a say anymore. I was into it WAY before it became cool to be into it. I digress, there's nothing I can do about it.

So much unbridled hatred towards Sony and KK with almost no recognition that sony may have in fact contributed something to the industry when the evidence is the opposite.
I swear if Ken K farted in public there would be a massive discussion on the merits of said fart with some of the N-fans claiming that to be the most evil act ever perpetrated.
If said event would ever occur, I think we would be discussing the ventilation holes in his pants or lack there of.seanoff said:I swear if Ken K farted in public there would be a massive discussion on the merits of said fart with some of the N-fans claiming that to be the most evil act ever perpetrated.

DrGAKMAN said:Thanks for the backup jarrod.
Someone said something about how the Hollywoodization was a good thing 'cos of more competition/higher game budgets. Sorry...these days there seems to be less and less publishers and more and more cookie cutter crap. Not saying there's no good games, not saying there wasn't crap games back in the NES/SNES era's...BUT...at least back then there were more publishers making more money and thus a broader variety of games/genre's.
I know it's the cool thing to ignore the NES/SNES era's and the influences Nintendo (and other top publishers efforts back then) made, and instead try to not only say gaming began with PlayStation, but that 3D gaming was started solely by them as well...but I think that's just simply wrong!
Amir0x said:Yeah seriously, the point in his second paragraph was just as ridiculous - if not more so - than the point in his first.
So what's your point, LuCkymoON?
DrGAKMAN said:I've hit rock bottom.
What's funny is...Sony, in a way, "revolutionized" gaming by making it more popular with casuals and "cool" people. Now Nintendo hopes to one-up that popularization with Revolution by causing a "revolution" in getting non-gamers into gaming. Just as I (an OG N-tard) calls the PlayStation generation of "gamers" posers...I think the PlayStation generation will revolt in a similar fashion to the newer "non-gamers" Nintendo brings in with NDS/Revolution. It's quite...odd!
SolidSnakex said:The only thing I could gather from it is
1.) Games were better off when they weren't as mainstream as they are.
2.) Sony is wrong for having a vision that games could be much more than toys.
DrGAKMAN said:That's it GAF...let out all thy anger upon thee. The more you strike me down, the more entertaining I become. I am the epitomy of N-tard's, you just keep me around as the village idiot ignoring my valid arguments and instead pecking at my admitted weakness. One day though...ye shall be scorned. Woah be to those, for ye hath been warned...the hour cometh of crow eatery...
DrGAKMAN said:What riled me up about this is the comments about how Sony like somehow invented 3D gaming and that "maybe" or "eventually" someone else would've progressed into 3D gaming if Sony hadn't.
No he didn't.LuCkymoON said:he made a very good point in his second paragraph, you just failed to read that far.
Oblivion said:Perhaps I'm reading this wrong (so forgive me), but I can hardly think of any game on the N64 that wasn't in 3D. So you could say Nintendo forced the priority of 3D as well. (again, I could be misconstruing what you're saying)
I just hate that in order to get all the games I want I have to buy 3 seperate consoles...sorry guys, I'm poor, not gonna do it. You say that I should change MY point of view 'cos I'm some sort of blind Nintendo fanboy, when maybe ya'll should change YOUR point of view and realize that not all of us have that much expendable cash to spend on our hobbies.

DrGAKMAN said:I'm not trying to bring this all down on Onix...'cos I've heard/seen these thoughts elsewhere on this forum and out in...life...I just am amazed by how much credit Sony is given. Ignoring the PC movement towards 3D gaming, let's look at Nintendo and SGI rendering with DKC and their efforts with the FX chip...obviously they were moving towards this. Let's look at Sega/Namco in the arcades specifically back then. To me VF meant as much for the beginning 3D gaming evolution as Mario 64. Yet the mainstream mentality is that N64 was a non-factor and that Sony/PlayStation did it all.
Maybe I'm over reacting, but that sorta just...made no sense to me.
Alot of you seem to think that I don't give Sony credit for much...I do, they truly popularized gaming to a point beyond what Nintendo could do...this is both a blessing to us as gamers, but it's also sort of a slap in the face of the efforts Nintendo made with the NES...or even Atari or Sega. Why? Because alot of people seem to think Sony like invented gaming or downplay what Nintendo had done...not saying you guys are like this, this is more dirrected fury at casuals who know not what they do.
I appologize for my "meltdown" but back before it was acceptable to talk about games in public there were N-tard's like me who were ridiculed just for playing them. Not calling us martyr's or anything, it just kills me a lil' inside when people won't put credit where credit is due.

SolidSnakex said:He's a joke character. In another thread he accused 1up of being anti Nintendo because they listed the MSX MG as the real version instead of the NES game.
Onix said:Then stop interpreting things that just aren't there.
I apologize that my earlier post was pretty huge, but I needed to clear up some apparent misinterpretations of my opinion in the matter (if not some of what others have said). I can understand that some people can get a little defensive, what with all the Sony-bots here - but please take my statements for what they are.
I do not believe I am doing anything beyond giving due credit to Sony within the confines of the current discussion. No more, no less.
There are some other (unrelated) favorable things I could say about Sony, just as there are an incredible amount of positive things I could say about Atari, Commodore, NEC, Nintendo, Sega, SNK, etc
I have a love for all of them, and their many contributions to gaming.
DrGAKMAN said:You're a good guy Onix...and never appologize for posting huge posts.
I do appologize, my anger is misguided, hence the term "meltdown".

hahahax said:I only brought up the NES games because 1up conveniently forgot to mention Twin Snakes. I felt that had the game been a remake for PS2 they would have mentioned it. What I did was to employ counter-measures:
Letting it be known that for NES-gamers, both games were actually considered to be the real Metal Gear games for a larger audience for a very long period.
Something that now is forgotten, because now its all about Kojima. And he weren't involved so the games now suck and were abortions etc.
Yes, NES-gamers once had the largest Metal Gear mind share.
I felt that 1up spat on the "Nintendo legacy" as I worded it.
For 1up to be fair, they should have mentioned Twin Snakes as at least being the possible defininte version. The CGN remake even had Kojima's official backing, yet it was omitted.
