I've never had that kind of "hipster" attitude. I like the new consoles, I like the new games! Sure, my favourite fighting game of all time is Killer Instinct Gold (though I hope to see a new KI in the near future), but I prefer the new Mortal Kombat over any of the new ones. I find Super Street Fighter 4 to be better than any of the past ones, except for maybe Street Fighter Alpha 3 (but that's because Cammy had her Killer Bee Combo super in it). The PS3 is the best console I've owned, and I've had the NES, SNES, N64, PS1, PS2 and a Dreamcast. They were all awesome consoles of their respective time, but I don't think they can compare to the new technology, graphics, gameplay and stories that the new consoles and games bring us.

Thinking back on how it was back in the day with the old games do hit my nostalgia right in the heart, but I prefer to put the past behind me and look forward to new games, new consoles and new stories to be told.


I like your attitude.

As for me, I'm staying out of this console conversation.


Hehe, well, there will always be pros and cons for every console and most of the time it is about preferences. I prefer my PS3 over the Xbox, for example, even if some of my friends who prefer the Xbox come with some good arhuements for why the Xbox is a great console. I just prefer the games, the controllers and the console itself over an Xbox. And I think the PS3 is the best console to date with some of the best games to date. ^^

I have not a clue in the world. Not trying to step on any toes here, but how someone can call another user (a mod, no less) a fruitcake and not get a skull is completely beyond me.

But, just as my attitude was when I left, I continue to no longer take anything seriously on this site anymore. I have no reason to.

I try to. There are some good people on here, but there are also some bad apples, but I guess that's how all forums are. So at least I try to take it seriously, but still not too seriously. There should be room for fun and jokes. ^^

Playstation has the best exclusives.

Xbox has the best online service.

Nintendo has the most innovation.

That's all I'll say.

Sorry bro, it's the N64.


Anyone who tells themselves that any Nintendo-brand console, aside from the original NES, is the best console of any period of time is clearly a "fanboy" of Nintendo-brand consoles or, to put it plainly, blind and/or stupid.

The N64 didn't have the lineup to compete with the Playstation, and I only know of a single game that'd even be worth acquiring in ROM form, that being "Mario Kart 64". Not only that, but the console's graphics were beyond dismal. Why in Hell would you release a game on a cartridge in the CD age? Since the SNES era (bloodless MK, for example), Nintendo has catered exclusively to a particular class of gamer--children or adults with the brain capacity and/or entertainment level of a child.

The Nintendo Gamecube was a mild improvement over its predecessor. However, the PS2 absolutely obliterates the Gamecube in terms of the lineup that each console provided. The only reason that I ever bothered to purchase a Gamecube was for the exclusive Resident Evil titles, all of which made the console even remotely worthy or purchase in not only my opinion but the opinions of a good number of other hardcore gamers as well.

My favorite consoles of all-time, given that I don't consider just one being a clear-cut frontrunner, are the SEGA Genesis, the Sony Playstation, and the Sony Playstation 2. Though, the old-school Nintendo Entertainment System could also be considered one of my favorites if only for the sake of the feeling of nostalgia that it provides.

Clearly, this is all a matter of opinion. From my end of the spectrum, I cannot see how anyone could be convinced that anything since (and including) the N64 has been worthy of any significant amount of praise, let alone to a degree that one would consider each subsequent Nintendo-brand console better than its competitors' consoles of that generation. Oh well; I suppose that this is the reason that the following idiom was coined: "Opinions are like assholes; everyone's got one, and some are just plain shitty." wink That is all.

I also applied the terms "fanboy" and "blind", though I will admit that accusing someone of being "stupid" is probably the most juvenile way to debate a matter of opinion. Perhaps "ignorant" or "misinformed" would've been a better way of putting it. See?--I'm mature enough to own up to my mistakes, a trait that you should consider adding to your character.

Nice job ignoring everything else that was said, though. Moreover, I did provide my argument as to why I consider Nintendo consoles to be the least impressive of the other consoles, specifically regarding every console since the N64's release. Of course, I wouldn't expect you to notice the details, given how poorly you picked up on your own mistakes in the debate in which you were thoroughly trounced, a discussion in which you also didn't belong.

Matter of opinions should be respected whether or not you agree with someone. When you start to dwell into the insults or state opinions as facts, then it's no longer an opinion, just something to start off a tangent of reckless stupidity and lashings.

PS2 had the best exclusives but a majority of PS3 exclusives are very uninteresting. I never saw the appeal to Uncharted or Infamous, they are pretty boring. Little Big Planet is fun but Playstation doesn't win that category just because of one game.Twisted Metal is great too of course. Don't even get me started on my hatred for God Of War (and no... it's not because of the Kratos-MK thing).

Why I say they can't compete is because new consoles, or at least a lot of them are too fragile. I had my PS3 for only four years before it died, but my Gamecube and my N64 are still there and I had more playtime on them than on my PS3.

And for the PS2 vs Gamecube debate, both had good games, and PS2 had more capacity than Gamecube but three of my favorite games of all time come from the Gamecube: Super Smash Bros. Melee, F-Zero GX, and Metroid Prime.

Seeing as I how didn't particularly notice any wrongdoing worthy of punishment, I personally requested that it be reviewed. Apparently, I was right. That said, I am completely willing to accept a penalty when I say something that clearly crosses the line. Calling someone a "fruitcake" is a lot better than the alternative. For example, had I gone with "delusional, dim-witted retard," then I would be wholly willing to accept the fitting punishment. Killswitch naively misconstrued what I said (in response to SubMan799) and decided to retort in a smart-alecky tone, so I responded likewise. I'll also point out that he wasn't being addressed at that specific point, so his snippy response wasn't even necessary.

Honestly, had this been directed at another user, one not in a position to abuse his or her power, then I would not have been penalized. That is expressly why I suggested that it be reviewed. The accumulation of skulls eventually leads to a ban. I don't want something as soft as "fruitcake" (as long as I'm not employing its use in a homophobic manner) to be the reason that I earn another strike on my record. Seeing as how I have adjusted how I present myself here, I'd appreciate a bit more respect and a lot less of the bias based on shit that I did or said a fucking decade ago.

I honestly never really gave GameCube a chance.

The only games I ever played on it more than once were Melee and RE4.

As for the PS2, I mostly played Kingdom Hearts and San Andreas. Of that ganeration, the Xbox was the only console I owned, so that explains it a bit, but to be honest, I never cared enough to get a PS2, anyway.

I didn't "state opinions as facts". To clarify, and I repeat, I stated my opinion as to why I believed that Nintendo's consoles are not up to par with the consoles belonging to their respective generation's competitors. It's advisable that you pay attention before doling out allegations of "reckless stupidity". *smirks* That label, on the other hand, does seem quite fitting for your response, chick.

I'm pretty sure a number of the users here disagree and could name at least 5 other N64 games worth acquiring as ROMs, or even physical copies.

I also notice that no one bothered insulting you for essentially stating there was only one decent game on the N64.

Name one thing, o' wise Murcielago, that would warrant the "MODS" being on my ass. By the way, isn't making physical threats (however delusional they may be) against the rules? Not to mention the fact that you state that you'll "sit here silently" and proceed to do the opposite. Damn, you people need to learn how to get a point across without contradicting yourselves.

I don't even know what the *ahem* was for, unless that was a futile attempt to cough up a clever rejoinder. That aside, how about you grab a dictionary and look up "opinion" and then "fact". If by then you fail to comprehend the difference of those two terms, then I suggest that you refrain from further humiliating yourself with these asinine and misguided allegations.

Moving on, I stated that I'd take a look at a few of the games that m0s mentioned. I also said that "I only know of a single game that'd even be worth acquiring in ROM form." Instead of trying to fit in with everyone else and, in the process, furthering this absurd feud, how about you contribute something positive to the discussion and, oh, I don't know, point out a few more games that, in your opinion, would be worth trying?

If anyone else would like to criticize me, for whatever reason, I recommend that you read earlier posts to ensure that you don't come out looking foolish. These constant reiterations are really getting tiresome. sleep

I'm not nor will I ever be a fan of Pokemon, the Legend of Zelda, or Mario Sports (would rather play genuine sports titles). I've already said that I would take a look at Super Smash Bros. and Perfect Dark. I have also already stated that Goldeneye wasn't something that I particularly enjoyed outside of multiplayer. MKTrilogy was released for the Playstation and I already have that ROM. Super Mario 64 doesn't exactly look like something to which I would be partial. I'll take a look at Conker's Bad Fur Day (I'll see if it's in Playstation-form first, however), Paper Mario, and Star Fox 64. I sincerely appreciate the input.

Again, I have never been nor will I ever be interested in Pokemon. I already have MK4 for PC and the PSX version of MKTrilogy in ROM form. I don't recall ever finding Turok all that interesting, so that one will probably be ignored as well. I'll see what "War Gods" is, though. Thanks for the heads-up.

Just goes to show that the mods of this site aren't doing a good job maintaining order around here, when VenoMark can get away with being such an asshole. Then again, he is always brown-nosing them, so they probably like him and get off to him being like this.

Or maybe they are just being lazy. Either way, it appears VenoMark won't stop being an asshole anytime soon, so maybe if we simply ignore him, he will find it boring and eventually stop. We can always hope so.
