There’s NEVER been a good Terminator video game. Why?

>>12642353>Why?your own ignorance
>>12642353I don't know. A lot of them fall into that shitty "tip-toe through the stage because enemies spawn in annoying fucking spots and there's no healing" category of run-n-gun. Then the T2 games were trying a bunch of weird shit and none of it was good.
>>12642367This was such a big deal when I first saw one
Journey to Silius
>>12642353>good Terminator>>12642367yes the arcade game. console ports were shat thoughbert
>>12642353The Mega CD game was great.
>>12642367the pinball machine was good too
>>12642353This one was okay. Better than the other T3 game, at least.As far as I'm aware it's also the only piece of Terminator media that shows a possible future where Skynet won.
>>12642367I see you never played that far in it. T2 is probably one of the crappiest light gun games ever made. It just dumps enemies and bullets on you to ensure you'll be feeding quarters, and it has a hard filter gimmick near the end to ensure people will blow even more quarters trying to beat it.Fire it up on MAME, and keep coining-in until you reach the level where you need to protect the SWAT van as the T-1000 chases it in a helicopter. The majority of players never got past that level. Because the T-1000 just needs to tap the van to destroy it and cost you a life, and he comes flying in from off-screen at Sanic speeds.https://youtu.be/t_IPljnX374?si=slwifQ-rWoJu5LwO&t=1774At the very start of this level, the player is using two guns to give himself better chances of stopping the heli, and still fails in about 20 seconds. The entire 6th level is like this.
>>12642645Typical western slop. I played to the end on a real cab a couple years ago and there were some fun parts but mostly I was just waiting for it to be over.
The Bethesda ones are great, Dawn of Fate and War of The Machines are decent. The Gba one and the Mega Drive ones are worthwhile. Thats it
>>12642379>>12642381This
>>12642645I've always seen lightgun games (especially Atari/Midway ones) as something akin to a theme park ride, where you have your 5 mins of bombastic fun and then move on.Never had to the urge to credit feed or play them to completion.
>>12642645I remember a local bar had this and I tried it with a friend after we'd both heard everyone saying how great it was, you're absolutely right anon.I think we maybe made it to the HK tank at the end of the first stage but everything just spams bullets at you constantly to the point where it's impossible to avoid damage. The T2 license and the big gun on the cabinet is doing all the heavy lifting for it because the game itself is shit.You're better off playing LA Machineguns or Gunblade instead.
>>12642645wow it took him a whole TWO tries.there are about 3 positions you have to cover. of all the cheap quarter eating bullshit I've encountered in arcade games that one doesnt even make into the Top 800
>>12642803The Skynet and T-1000 fights are far more bullshit just by virtue of how long they can take and how much shit you've got to keep track of.I don't even know if the final T-1000 fight is doable with only one player since you need to keep him stunned on the edge while grabbing the grenade launcher pickup that usually drops on the edge of the screen and then shoot him with it. Probably easier on an actual arcade cabinet because you can just swing the gun around, but you'd have to be quick with it, and if you miss or take a split second too long you've got to do the whole sequence again.
>>12642353this piece of shit ruined my birthday
