A character from a namco property that wouldn't require additional licenses and from a cult classic arcade/turbo/mega drive game/series that the older demographic buying the xbox would probably recognize from their youth as opposed to Link/Cloud/Heiachi being relatively more associated with a younger demographic. Plus he uses an assortment of melee weapons.

Unless they wanted to dig out a Weaponlord character.

Spawn was popular in the mid/late 90s.

> but rather "game overs"

Lot's of games do that. They literally say "Game Over" and then prompt the continue screen; or do it on the same screen.

>but just a black screen with "better luck next time"

Lot's of games do something like this too, pic related, using continues is the n°1 factor for your ranking in NES Batman Returns

>>12389118
>going back to the OP's point, you can't judge difficulty accurately if you haven't 1CCed the game,
What? Of course you can. There are plenty of games where the early (or even later) stages are extremely easy, while others that are a huge pain in the ass and will likely result in you losing all your lives the first few times you encounter it and needing to continue. Infact thats the clearest way to determine difficulty of sections of a game based on how many times someone has to keep restarting a stage. If someone is stuck at the Yellow Devil in Mega Man, how does that invalidate their oppions on the difficulty ranking of previous sections of the game.
>>
>>12389118
>tons of arcade games had check points at stages or mid stage and still operate under the 1cc rule.
Clearly they don't if the devs put in checkpoints to begin with. It's something clearly implemented into the very fabric of its program by the devs.

Mainly because life was brighter + more simple at the time and it was more Halo.

>And then Halo 2 tries to be this big hollywood alien apocalypse plot and it just sucks.
You're the type of brainlet who thinks the prequels are bad.
>>
>>12390160
I concur with this 100%.
It's a class example of thinking bigger = better and failing.

Multiplayer improvements were great in terms of actually having online, but generally it was a competitive step down from Halo 1. It wasn't bad, just different, especially in the map design.

But the story tried to be this huge dramatic thing, telling this tale of oppression, space racism, unity, and struggle all while introducing pants-on-head retarded shit like Gravemind. All this from a sequel to a game where an armored super solider fought two aggressive alien races trying to invade Earth. Did we really need to introduce politics into our antagonists and make them sympathetic while also doing the extremely tired and poorly done troupe of 'they're only bad because they have bad leaders'.

Just like you said: it all felt very 'hollywood'.

Also, the finale is rushed to all hell and the game abruptly ends on a wet fart.

Paid 20 dollars for a boxed system with light guns, action replay, extra controllers and about 12 games. Wish i had known earlier that the action replay would let me play jap imports. I would have gone crazy importing stuff when it was cheap.

I had an N64 and my friend had a PS1. No one knew what a Saturn was. I found out about it years later from Retrojunk.

Yeah my friends dad had it we used to play Sega Rally with him. I think he was a Sega Arcade guy way back in the day so he always bought Sega up until DC died. Dude had like a ton of fish too, he was always fucking with these giant saltwater tanks in the basement room with the Saturn and Genesis. It was a pretty cool 1997 era mancave of like, tropical fish and video games I guess.

It's a bad remake of Resident Evil (1996) but it's a pretty good remake of the Arranged Mode from the Director's Cut even if the monsters are nerfed.

Many times, although some of them have been soft-locks and me not understanding how to properly configure an emulator; once I thought I had wiped a memory card when all I did was change the directories and I couldn't find it.

I did this for Tomb Raider 2. I was trying to do a tricky backflip from some ladder in the oil rig and I saved mid-air instead of loading. Dumb me learned that day to keep multiple saves in a game afterwards.

The SNES port of Final Fight is a perennial whipping boy. It's only one player, no Guy, a missing level, it's censored, it was mogged by Streets of Rage etc.

But you know what? It's a fun game on it's own if you weren't aware of what it was missing.

Final Fight 3 is better than Streets of Rage 2, and I'm not going to apologize.
>>
>>12391068
It's called 3 because there can be up to 3 enemies on screen. If you play co-op it has frequent slow down too.

>>12391075
FF3 has a lot going for it but they should have went the extra mile and put a special chip in it or something for better performance.
