Were the 5th and 6th gens the golden age of licensed games?
If you were a child during that time, sure.
>>12085836Yeah
>>12085836What kind of parent would buy a game with that cover for their kid?
Surely the golden age was the 4th gen when they were actually good
>>12085836Maybe for some. The Simpsons had a good run on the PS2.
>>12085874Loony Tunes was a lot more brutal than Cartoon Network.
>>12085836Fuck no, the 3rd and 4th gen were. Lots of decent-to-good games were made with licencing shoehorned in later in development. By 5th gen they were just lazy shovelware because kids don't care about quality
>>12085930Simpsons Hit & Run is easily better than anything from 3rd or 4th gen.
>>12085941Konami made a better simpsons game for arcade
>>12085874Everyone in my kindergarten was playing GTA.
>>12085945I played that coop in the rerelease because it has a limited credits/lives setting, and while it's neat to some degree, Konami beat em ups are kinda terrible and it's way too early in the shows life to represent The Simpsons proper. Simpsons Hit & Run easily clears it.
>>12085945>simpsons arcade gameEasily the most overrated Simpsons game to date, and your very post is evidence of that.
>>12085952Painfully third world post
>>12086019I live in America, in one of the wealthiest states per capita. I went to public school, but most of my classmates lived in McMansions and went to private universities.
>>12086037I grew up in America too and only poor and brown parents allowed their kids to play M rated games.
>>12085874I don't see the problem other than it's mildly violent.
How do I avoid Vic's pissing on me?
>>12086049Do you live in bizarro world? In my experience, black and brown kids were the ones who weren't allowed to watch SpongeBob, read Harry Potter, etc.
>>12086105That's wild. I would always look forward to going to my poor/nonwhite friends' houses because their parents let them play and watch anything. I was middle class but all my richer friends had even stricter parents than me.
>>12085952What the fuck.
>>12086158Same here. I had mexican/filipino friends who were allowed yo play M-rated games in elementary school but all my white friends had strict Christian soccer mom-type parents
>>12085836Best character
>>12085930>kids don't care about qualityThat's why shovelware is fun for when you're a kid.
>>12085836It fucking sucks how everyone copied Smash but only this game copied Power Stone
>>12086437Tom & Jerry game is similar.
>>12086449>>12086437Yeah I was about to say. The Grim and Mandy game and Tom & Jerry War of the Whiskers are both shameless Power Stone clones.
>>12085836Nope, there was a huge downgrade during the Ps1 era, whereas the NES and SNES and Genny got some nice hitters
>>12086437Huh, there were quite a few power stone clones, and the only one that was unironically good was a LITERAL clone made by Capcom using the Spawn characters.https://youtu.be/hJ3VCNavuIk?si=ftINPSSl-Q75stXQEvery other game was just meme ''hidden game'' (aka, mediocre) or fucking Powerpuff Girls Chemical X traction tier garbitchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHdDFmP3XOY
>>120858366th gen did have its share of gems, but hardly any 5th gen ones were good from what I can recall.
>>12086840It knocks me stone stiff stupid that there wasn't a single Turtles game during the 5th gen, when the N64 and Dreamcast (and PS1 with multitap) were just sitting there.
>>12086461>Grim and Mandy*Billy and Mandy
>>12086437Shrek Super Slam. There was also a Looney Tunes one on Xbox called Loons.
>>12085836No you stupid fuck, licensed games are and always have been complete garbage. There was absolutely nothing unique about the games from any generation. Just like every other licensed game they are derivative, lazy, cheap, boring, and aimed squarely at children who are too retarded to know any better. The absolute best licensed games are a worse version of another game, and the vast majority are complete trash thrown together in 10 weeks.
>>12087549you have to be 18 to post here
>5thNot really>6thSure, if you're not in PAL region
>>12085945It's alright, and the rest of the 3rd and 4th gen simpsons games are utter garbage.
>>12087549What about Ducktales?
>>12085941Hit & Run is so overrated>gta-style game but only with the most boring part about GTA, the driving
>>12087904What the fuck are you talking about? The driving in GTA is awesome. You get to run over people, commit drive-by shootings, and speed.
>>12085836I can't think of any good licensed 5th gen games, all the ones i played were pretty terrible>simpsons wrestling>powerpuff girls chemical x-traction>ranma 1/2 battle renaissance>dragon ball gt final bout>digimon rumble arena
>>12087906The driving is pretty shitty until you're very late in the game and get good cars. And you obviously don't shoot things in that game, so to make up for it most of the difficulty in the game comes in the form of shitty platforming and time limits.
No.The golden age of licensed games was the late 80s/early 90s, when good Japanese companies were doing them.
>>12087917That was the era of Laughing Joking Numbnuts though.
>>12086619>and the only one that was unironically goodOP's game is good tho
>>12086037>>12086049USA is third world country.In finland most people didn't care about age rating until recently and even now most people think age ratings are ruined by globalism.Fucking suddenly we got swearing and nudity ban thanks to third world countries such as USA and christ thumping europe.
>>12088238Always funny to see Europeans use American terms they don't understand.
>>12087904>the most boring part about GTA, the drivingYou say this like there isn't a subset of the GTA community who buy those games purely for the driving.
>>12085836Licensed games are almost entirely mediocre (at best), but there are a lot that I enjoy from gens 5/6. >any of the Star Wars N64 games>Battle for Bikini Bottom>Rogue Squadron 2>early TT Lego GamesI even enjoy a few that are of lower quality. I've almost finished the N64 Scooby Doo game (for Halloween), and it has been a good time, overall. Hoping to try out Night of 100 Frights for the first time soon.
>>12088238That's cute
>>12085836Which Billy & Mandy characters should have been in this game that weren't?
>>12088238Shouldn't you be seething about Sweden or Russia instead of a country on the other side of the world that doesn't give a shit about you?
>>12088453But, why?
>>12087904>the most boring part about GTA, the drivingah yes, holding r1 and then pressing circle over and over is true stimulus.
>>12086842Because TMNT was dead alive at the time of the PS1 and N64 era, or did you wanted a Next Mutation game? i never really got into the 4kids TMNT of the 2000s or the Konami games because most of them were not made in japan.And thats one thing missed, Japan developed licensed games, became less common, and i am not talking of anime stuff, i mean Japanese ''commission'' games made for westerners based on US IPs
>>12088461Numbah 3
>>12088195?
>>12088631>or did you wanted a Next Mutation game?I mean they could still make a good game out of it. Nobody would confuse the 80's TMNT cartoon for being well written either and it still got quality games.>i never really got into the 4kids TMNT of the 2000sBig mistake. Great show and it still holds up until a certain season, though the games WERE ASS and only the third one resembles a game I could maybe recommend to people, but only if you had played the other good 4 player 6th gen games.
>>12085836It's 3rd and 4th
>>12088195The good outweighed the bad. Stuff like Sunsoft Batman, the Capcom Disney games, most of the Konami TMNT games are legitimately great games and would not look out of place on a top 20 list. I don't think you can say the same for whatever is in the OP pic or Spongebob shit.
>>12089704TMNT4 is insanely overrated
>>12089787Licensed game fans are a bizarre breed. They will tell you Turtles in Time is the best beat-em-up of the entire 16 bit era, when it's totally inferior to not only Streets of Rage and Final Fight, but also Hyperstone Heist on Genesis.TMNT4 gets it doubly bad because it's a licensed game AND a Nintendo hype cycle game. So while consoles like Genesis and NES had legitimate hits built by word of mouth, the SNES was the first Nintendo console to heavily rely on a hype cycle were all the Nintendrones bought the same game every 3 months because Nintendo Power told them too, before spending the next 30 years calling whatever mediocre game they all played at the same time "The best X-genre game of the 16 bit era."
>>12089787No it’s not lol gain taste
name ONE (1) good licensed game right now.
>>12089834u just did
>>12089834astro boy on GBA. I dont even like astro boy but its one of the absolute best gba games.besides that I got nothing.
>>12089828Terminal case of babby's first slap-&-bap. Play any other brawl-em-down of the era and you will realize this.
>>12089838I've played them all. The two best of this gen are easily Streets of Rage 2 and TMNT IV. I don't know what else you are thinking might compare unless you're just engaging in gay /vr/ contrarianism
>>12089856Everyone who disagrees with you isn't a contrarian. SoR 3, Final Fight, River City Rampage, Alien vs Predator, Tower of Doom, and Cadash are all better than any TMNT game in my opinion. I apologize if you have extensive knowledge of the genre and still prefer Turtles in Time, but most people with that opinion have literally never played another beat-em-up.
>>12089601Not a Billy & Mandy character. The crossover doesn't count, that's like saying Spongebob is a Sonic character.
Behold
>>12087910I assume you dont count ports of arcade games because Capcom did the Marvel and Jojo games, but the ps1 ports of Marvel sucked dick and Jojo had unique stuff but wasnt arcade perfect
buenos dias mandy
>>12085836Zoomers will never understand
>>12091157Sorry for being born in 2000 and being too young to be deluded into thinking unc ahh cartoons and games like Billy and Mandy were any good, gramps.
>>12091172>unc ahhWhy can't zoomers talk like humans?
>>12091217each generation has experienced more negroficiation than the last.
>>12089834Cowboy Bebop on PS2. and it was recently translated.Escape from Butcher BayX-Men LegendsKing KongBunch of Spider-Man and LotR games.007 NightfireThe WarriorsScarfacehonestly, the 6th gen had a ton of good licensed games.
>>12091136The person who made this is Brazilian or something right?
>>12091591>spanish text I don't think so
>>12091340So that's what cowboy bebop was doing on his computer...
>>12091172Shut the fuck up retard
>>12088238>t. Can’t afford a car
>>12091172Sucks to be you
>>12087843No, I can't admit defeat so instead of agreeing that it's a good game I'm going to tell you it's a cheap ripoff of *insert obscure platformer here* and call you a retard.
>>12085836That game fucking sucks
>>12092841It's a decent Power Stone clone, and Billy and Mandy was one of CN's best shows so it works.
>>12092849The show was goodThe game fucking sucked
>>12092602
>>12085874any parent except maybe Chinks becaues I heard they are deadly afraid of skeletons
>>12085874what's wrong with it? it has a cartoon skeleton? are you a mormon or something?
>>12093000Zoomers are overly sheltered and think kids don't like "scary" stuff
>>12093002I mean I know they're alergic to characters showing some skin but jesus christ this is something I expect from an old lady in the 60s
>>12086619>, and the only one that was unironically good was a LITERAL clone made by Capcom using the Spawn characters.you forgot Heavy Metal Geomatrix, also a Power Stone clone, but that came out after the Dreamcast got discontinued and never re-released
>>12085874Hateful fart game
>>12089834I remember tom and jerry war of the whiskers being fun also the two towers game on ps2/gamecube
>>12085836It depends on the IP holders. like looney tunes games definitely peaked in the 16 bit era. Disney you could make a case for 16 bit era or the ps1. Cartoon and Nick original shows definitely the 6th gen. Starwars as well. There were a lot of decent starwars games before the 6th gen but that's when they really hit their stride with battlefront, kotor, commandos ect
