A shame LRG is working on it instead of M2 (Castlevania and Contra collections) or Digital Eclipse (TMNT collection). LRG's emulator plain sucks, it doesn't give you any proper screen size or filter options, your border options won't save, and the only way to save is to exist the game.

Depending on how much cybernetic RAM they could afford to upgrade their brain.

Yep. Sony has the greatest exclusives. Bet Bethesda is kicking themselves in the ass for selling out to MS after Starfield bombed.

Like what, a whopping 14 games, including several VR ones?

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/9/9fa685c8.jpg

And prove that Starfield bombed. Oh wait you can't. Meanwhile the PS4 versions of Skyrim and Fallout 4 don't even allow mods thanks to Sony's idiotic policies.

Meanwhile PS5 owners failed to buy Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo even when they were exclusives, while Square Enix is in financial trouble because not enough people bought FF16 and FF7RB.

Whataboutism is literally the only strategy you have, isn't it?

It's not whataboutism if there's a direct link between Munich and Molotov-Ribbentrop

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Agreement

Joseph Stalin was upset by the results of the Munich conference. On 2 May 1935, France and the Soviet Union signed the Franco-Soviet Treaty of Mutual Assistance with the aim of containing Nazi Germany's aggression. The Soviets, who had a mutual military assistance treaty with Czechoslovakia, felt betrayed by France, which also had a mutual military assistance treaty with Czechoslovakia. The British and French mostly used the Soviets as a threat to dangle over the Germans. Stalin concluded that the West had colluded with Hitler to hand over a country in Central Europe to the Germans, causing concern that they might do the same to the Soviet Union in the future to allow its partition between the western nations. This belief led the Soviet Union to reorient its foreign policy towards a rapprochement with Germany, which eventually led to the signing of the MolotovRibbentrop Pact in 1939.

In 1938, the Soviet Union was allied with France and Czechoslovakia. By September 1939, the Soviets were to all intents and purposes a co-belligerent with Nazi Germany, due to Stalin's fears of a second Munich Agreement with the Soviet Union replacing Czechoslovakia. Thus, the agreement indirectly contributed to the outbreak of war in 1939.

This happened years ago. GameFAQs was in news

https://gamerant.com/persona-2-gamefaq-update/

Nine years after the GameFAQs guide of Persona 2 went live, the original author updates the guide with some rather unusual insight. According to the update, the author of the original guidebook that was written back in 2011, has become a born-again Christian. The author goes on to condemn Persona and other forms of Japanese media, such as anime and JRPG games, for promoting demonic imagery, fortune-telling, and witchcraft. The author urged people to stop promoting the series and also posted Bible verses.

GameFAQs fixed it after the news story came out.

LMAO if you check the Internet Archive, the author went off the deep end.

Years after originally writing and posting this guide, I now take moral offense at this game and would prefer that neither this guide nor the game exist. The only reason I have not removed this guide is I had submitted it under contract that it be allowed to stay on the GameFAQs site. Their staff has been very helpful to me and I hope that my petitions and comments might eventually reach someone who can remove it.

My complaints against this game are against its glorification of demons and evil spirits, and also against its promotion of witchcraft through tarot and other means (tarot card divination/fortunetelling is expressly witchcraft). Both of these blaspheme against the Almighty God, Jesus.

Promotion of demon worship and witchcraft is common across Japanese-produced media, including anime and video games, and therefore I would caution anyone who is aware of these dangers to beware of these two mediums as a whole. However, I will only comment on a few more lies found in this game.

1) Who's the most powerful demon/persona in the Shin Megami Tensei / Persona games?
The devil Satan (not Lucifer, that's not really a name for the devil) only has what authority Jesus gives him. In other words, the devil is a wimp!
At the end of time, the devil and all fallen angels and all wicked humans will be permanently destroyed. Gone. No sin will be in the kingdom.
Contrary to popular belief, dying is NOT cool.

2) Since all the Persona games have their own little end of the world stories, which are false, I think you should know the way it will really end.
First, the end time son of perdition will be revealed in a strong delusion in God's temple in heaven.

30 days later will be the huge invasion of the Gog/Magog war, which is Russia, China, Syria, and Iran successfully invading the rest of the world.

That lasts for 1260 days, then the next 45 days consist of the death of the two witnesses, the 1st resurrection (7th trumpet), and the wrath of God at the same time as the marriage supper in heaven.

On the 1335th day Jesus Christ returns to establish His Kingdom on earth, destroys the son of perdition and the false prophet, and imprisons Satan and his fallen angels until the 2nd resurrection, which is another opportunity for all unsaved to repent towards God and achieve eternal life.

I wish I had known about the curse on this game and the many others like it. Where were all the hundreds of millions of Christians while I was playing these games? They must be a bunch of fakes because I never heard a single warning! Well, consider yourself informed. And if you don't believe the warning, then believe because of the consequences. There really is a curse for disobedience. I pray more people will wake up to the reality of the evil in this world and stop supporting it.

Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, what shall we do?"
Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
- Acts 2:37-38

"And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and began burning them in the sight of everyone; and they counted up the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver."
- Acts 19:19

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/may/09/how-eunuch-maker-livestreamed-extreme-body-modifications-marius-gustavson

Gustavson, 46, originally from Norway, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 22 years at the Old Bailey on Thursday after pleading guilty to charges including conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm by performing extreme body modifications, including the removal of penises and testicles.

The court heard that life-threatening procedures were performed on vulnerable victims in non-sterile environments and broadcast on his website for the sexual pleasure of viewers.

Gustavson, who has had his penis, testicles, right nipple and left leg removed, was accused of being the principal offender, organiser and ringleader in the lucrative and wide-ranging conspiracy involving up to 29 offences on 13 victims and the trade of body parts.

They didnt popularise HDDs or FPS. Stop lying and stop moving goalposts. I didnt ask you to tell me what they popularised. If you arent going to answer my original question, dont bother replying

So tell me which console prior to the Xbox has HDD as standard and with a marketing focus on FPS games and online multiplayer.

My question hasnt changed, you just didnt answer it sufficiently. Instead you tried to change my question to what did Microsoft popularise, even then you got most of that wrong. Attributing HDDs to Microsoft is a weird meltdown even for you and HDDs in consoles doesnt answer my question

LMAO stop moving goalposts.

Your original question was "when was MS ever good for gaming", which by itself is a subjective question. I pointed out facts ie trends they popularized, which you dismissed because you personally dislike them. The gaming industry doesn't revolve around you.

i asked for what good things thryve done

You're the one moving the goalposts by dismissing things because you personally dislike them.

I prefer PC FPS games like Quake, but that doesn't mean Halo is unpopular nor that it wasn't one of the most played online multiplayer back in the day. Remember PS2's expensive HDD and modem add-ons that barely anyone used?

And if achievements are a gimmick then why did Sony and Valve copy it?

Rika_Furude posted...

FPS games were never good and still arent good on consoles
Online multiplayer was already popular on PC, they just copied that and started charging money
Achievements are a gimmick
HDDs isnt something Microsoft invented

anyways I was asking for anything good Microsoft contributed, not just random shit they did first

LMAO so because you don't like it, it doesn't count?

Plenty of people play online and FPS games on console, and the Halo series were revolutionary for its time.

Did I say MS invented the HDD? No I said that they POPULARIZED it, or do you prefer Sony charging a premium for a 8 MB memory card?

LOL yeah right. Hi-Fi Rush may have won some awards but it didn't translate into sales, and neither did Ghostwire Tokyo when it was PS5 timed exclusive. Sony would have closed down their underperforming developers, and so would EA and Ubisoft.

A major draw of Tango Gameworks was Shinji Mikami, the director of Resident Evil. When he left he took the top talents with him, and now the studio is a shell of its former self.

So a developer makes some decently reviewed games that didn't translate into sales on either PS5 or Xbox. How dare MS not keep funding them.

Xerun posted...

Gamepass is clearly unsustainable. Despite all the glowing praise for Hi-Fi, its not translated to sales.

I assume Microsoft was hoping buying out Activision would be able to force people to Xbox for exclusives so they could then raise Gamepass prices higher.

Then the market turned and interest rate skyrocketed and playing the long game was no longer feasible.

I imagine thats still the gameplan but in the short term its going to mean a whole lot of closures and layoffs.

LOL how many people bought Ghostwire Tokyo when it was a timed exclusive on PS5 again?

Just remember kids if Microsoft buys your company get ready to pack your bags

Not MS's fault that Shinji Mikami decided to leave and took the top talents with him.

A group of counter protesters, most of whom probably aren't even students (how's that for "outside agitators"), shout obscenities at the protesters, release a sack of potentially infected mice, then leave behind a giant TV screen which blasts propaganda complete with snuff footage for days on end. While security guards actively protect the TV screen.

Fact remains that even before MS's purchase of Bethesda, they had lots of dead weight and Ghostwire and Deathloop didn't exactly set sales records even when they were PS5 timed exclusives. Bethesda was also the one who greenlit Redfall, which was in development for PS5 around the time the company was bought.
