Saints Row also just has better character and clothing customization overall. Something Rockstar's games struggle with. The character creators in GTA Online and Red Dead Online are pretty abysmal.

Technically you could already play as a female protagonist way back in GTA1 even if the in game graphics didn't reflect that.

You can already play as a female character in GTA Online, and it's not a big deal.

ITT: People with shit knowledge of firearms and existing firearms laws

Well, shit this sucks.

The game is a fun time, but I have more fun with SMB3. Just more enjoyable levels and gameplay.

The game is from the PS3/360 era. It's neither old enough nor dated enough in its design to warrant a full remake. A remaster would have been great but alas.

If anything it's Red Dead Revolver that could use the remake treatment.

Not with the non-human romance and sex aspects the game has. That can be just as creepy in its own right.

It's the classic 'my fetish is acceptable and empowering and yours is demeaning, toxic, and pervy' hypocrisy basically.

And 261 users are physically incapable of making posts that don't in any way reference Trump, Republicans, conservatives, alt-right, account levels, etc. to defend their cultist personae.

Oh well. Doesn't matter how much you reeeeee about any of that. Your board is dead and never coming back. Cope.

See? You still can't cope.

RIP to a crap board.

I actually did not like Triple Triad at all. Tried it multiple times but could not for the life of me get into it.

And you are free to not read on CE.

People are free to do many things. You don't have to visit GameFAQs at all. You don't have to visit game boards. You don't have to behave like a hive of hysterically unhinged cultists on a Politics board on a video game forum. But hey, people chose to do that because, again, they made doing so their whole identity and something they felt was super important.

Are people also free to NOT visit that board of cultists? Absolutely. But it also doesn't mean it should have been fostered in the first place as a video game forum ultimately does need to have rules and they do need to be enforced coherently and consistently. Just because you don't have to visit an atrocious place doesn't mean it should be allowed to behave like that either.

Of course I'm sad about 261 being shut down. Is there some problem with that?

I don't know why you would be sad about a community of mass shitposting, mass harassing, dogpiling, and just generally behaving like terrible people being shut down, but again it's like I said earlier - that community made that board their whole identity.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. "No no no Politics board was actually a great place full of super duper intellectual discussions among super duper awesome and intelligent people and it's the Trumpers!'

That's what the cultists always repeat ad infinitum, and it doesn't change that their community was a cesspit no matter how many times they repeat variations of that.

Yea.... a Current Events board and a War On Terrorism board on GameFAQS of all places make much more sense. Totally different.

Heck, you could shut those down too for all I care. This is a video game forum at the end of the day.

You're the one who made this topic in the first place lol.

You can't seem to cope with its closure.

The other thing that's perplexing is...it's a Politics board on GameFAQs of all places. Not even a place like Facebook, Twitter, Discord, YouTube, or even reddit.

A tertiary board on a video game forum of all places lol.

The fact that you had a community assemble that developed a cult like mentality around their posting habits on a politics board on GameFAQs of all places writes its own punchline.

When you have people with that unhealthy of a mindset willing to make something like that their hill to die on, it was for the best to just end that shit. Of course some of them will refuse to move on because they made that community their whole identity (and possibly dare I say - their life), but it was ultimately the right call to make.

I found myself enjoying FF9 a lot more.

Who cares? Why do y'all make topics about *insert username here* being suspended all the time? I know it's CE and all, but you gotta find something better to do even by CE standards.

Let's be real

It was overwhelmingly the MAGA posters who were toxic and got suspended frequently. Its already happened in this topic too.

They're crying about the board being toxic, despite the fact that they were the toxic element of the board.

So they celebrate that it was shut down for being toxic but they made it toxic?

Also, this is, as is the standard procedure with 261 community cultists, an outright lie.

It was a mix of both right wing (and sometimes not even right wing but just pure trying to trigger a reaction from whoever) accounts and high level, left wing shitposting accounts. The latter made up the majority of the mass trolling that went on in that board.

Now those people will claim 'no no no no it was MAGA/Trumpers!' to try to cover their own asses, but anyone who visited that board even semi-regularly that didn't fall into that cultist mentality knows that's a crock of shit.

GranAures posted...

Nah. It was fandom who got it shut down for being a politics board, but nice to see we still have people happily peddling "but it was toxic" while ignoring all the political community boards that got shut down as well.

And ignoring the people who regularly got suspended there.

Given this site's userbase, it was for the best. Politics just are not a topic the GameFAQs userbase has the world view and maturity level to legitimately discuss. And the site's staff was historically atrocious and inconsistent in handling moderations on that board. Way too many high level accounts got away with way too much shit on there.

Yes, but they aren't nearly as popular as GTA RP servers.

Oh hey the 261 users are still validating the criticisms made about their awful former community. In other news the sky is blue.

Very clearly has to do with GTA6 somehow with the timing.

Probably also has to do with Mikey's journey throughout The Last Ronin which was the logical conclusion to all lore over the years detailing how he had the most raw potential of the turtles if he focused.

Going with Leonardo, although he's a goody two shoes

Really don't see how Mikey is overrated when most just write him off as the dumb/jokey one.

If anything Raph and Don are probably the better picks for that label.

CE seems to be a more chaotic version of 261 with more general discussion about every day life. However 261's flaws as a community are amplified here.

Pretty much this. 261 was essentially like if you took all the non-politics related posts out of CE and intensified the trolling.

But on the flip side, 261 migrating over to CE put their community under a magnifying glass and exposed to more people just how depraved the userbase was.

Call people whiners all you want. Your echo chamber board is dead and never coming back.

Cope.

I wish this board didn't delete old topics so we could go back to the times Viggy got his ass kicked talking about 261.

Here, have a bingo card.

Hell, 261's retorts wouldn't even be enough to fill out a Bingo card.

It just amounted to 'Trumpers!' or 'alts'

The irony being the overwhelming majority of the mass trolling and shitposting on that board came from high level accounts. Which reaffirms how poorly moderated that board was that they were able to consistently get away with that behavior.

BunkerBoy posted...

That only Trumpers whine like you are?

Pay attention to how these 261 users are wholly incapable of responding to criticism or refuting a point without bringing up Trump, conservative, alt right, Republicans, etc. as a reflex.

Do those seem like college level class debating skills?

Again, the point is proven. This is why nobody outside the 261 cultist echo chamber took the board seriously. 261's level of intellect in regards to debating comes down to variations of 'anyone who disagrees with our warped views is a Trumper!'

You can't have debates with that level of ignorance. It's just wall speaking at that point.

Definitely is in my book

BunkerBoy posted...

Let me guess, you supported Donald Trump

Thanks for proving my point.

The only ones that ever complained about 261 being "toxic" or biased ALWAYS came from rightwing trolls.

261 didn't have the same wide variety of CE and that was part of it's charm. CE has an endless supply of gimmicks which clog up actual discussion. And there are a lot of people on CE that have zero debate skills.

261 was akin to a college-level debate class. Most people had some skills in debate, there were a few assholes, but in general the discussion was good. You are essentially getting upset that people who enjoy good debate and discussion had a good place to facilitate that and we no longer have it. CE is and always has been a cesspool.

Nay. 261 was more akin to a batch of Twitter users in a high school classroom with a limited worldview and inflated self-importance than a college level debate class.

reincarnator07 posted...

You say that, but I've seen 261ers finally getting suspended for the exact same stuff they pulled on 261 for literally years with impunity. It's a nice change.

This. The Politics board was historically very poorly and inconsistently moderated for years, and it's insane how long it was allowed to continue on in that state.

uBlock Origin is good and free.

But no matter what they do there will always arise people with add ons to find ways around YT and their nonsense.

Ben & Jerry's says...
This 4th of July, it's high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it. Learn more and take action now

Couple of things here.

1. You're gonna be hard pressed to find a nation on Earth that HASN'T been formed on the borders or lands of others, had foreign interference, etc. This isn't something exclusive to the U.S.

The only places on Earth you'd find any place that wouldn't fit that bill would be certain islands out in the South Pacific.

2. People often forget that there were Native tribes that also fought each other in territorial disputes as well. Look up the Algonquins vs. the Iroquois.

conservashits: "we like cancelling, now."

Well, it's like the saying some folks are fond of saying - actions have consequences

Though for some people it's more 'actions have consequences but I only like it if it's consequences for people I don't care for'

They made a stupid comment and they got justifiably called out for it. Plus, their headquarters is on what could be considered native land so it makes them look like massive hypocrites.

Not to mention, to push aside politics and social crap for a second and look at it purely at a Business 101 standpoint, you're an ice cream company. Focus on that and less on things that don't benefit your business or your PR.

Novel concept but bad execution

We Don't Understand Immigration Laws - The Topic

Yep. Like I said - this is a 261 style topic for sure

A 261 style topic on Current Events.

It's not 'living in the past'. Those games just happen to have a game design that still holds up. Also, this game isn't trying to emulate the N64 games nor is it even made by those same developers. This game is made by Yukes. The SmackDown game devs who worked on that series for so long.

And you can look at and tell it is just from the gameplay.

But yeah, acknowledging that an old game is designed in a way that still holds up years later=/=living in the past or being blinded by nostalgia

We gotta get out of that ignorant mindset.

The N64 games still hold up well to this day.
