I feel vindicated that the Jaguar isn't in the Failure Tier but the 3DO is.

But WTF is the Vectrex and the CDX doing in the high tier?

Maybe the CDX is supposed to represent the Genesis? Maybe that's why it's there? :shrug:

by Aristotle Sat Jan 03, 2009 6:28 pm

by Aristotle Sat Jan 03, 2009 6:30 pm

by Honor Sat Jan 03, 2009 6:33 pm

i don't know who compiled the list, but my first assumption was that it was based solely on each one's library and not the technology.

by JaysonAych Sat Jan 03, 2009 6:42 pm

Then the Vectrex, Odyssey2, Fairchild Channel F, and the Pippin wouldn't even be on the damn list at all.

by Aristotle Sat Jan 03, 2009 6:43 pm

hmm...good point.

i had a friend in elementary school that had an odyssey2 :talon2:

He's obviously retarded. All you have to do is see the dreamcast on top of that list to know that the guy who made it is an idiot. The dreamcast was a piece of shit. And come on, he puts the regular xbox above the 360? An atari in the high tier? Idiot.

I've owned none of those.

I like Civ and Pirates.

And I played Jedi Knight when I was in high school a bit.

Man, you're missing out on so much good shit.

by Honor Sun Jan 04, 2009 3:31 pm

and wally, i think you would like this game called "rome:total war" for the PC. i played it somewhat, but i just dont have much patience for big strategy games like that anymore.

haha nah. The Jedi Knight (Dark Forces II). This was way back in 97.

by Honor Sun Jan 04, 2009 3:32 pm

oh, never played that one. KOTOR is a fantastic game though. the 2nd one too to a lesser extent.

hahah yeah. I can't deny that. I love me some reading. Plus I'm going back to school.

I enjoy video games. But I always find I get a head ache after about an hour and a half.

It was a fantastic game. Truth be told I actually played all of the games in the Jedi Knight series. There were, I think, 3.

What the fuck dude? The Dreamcast was a great system when it came out, it was so much better in many ways than the Playstation. It just all fell apart when the PS2 came out and Sega decided that they weren't going to make any more games for it. I think it could have done really well. I almost felt that it was a form of a predecessor of the XBOX.

I mean it shouldn't be the "GOD TIER" but it should be up towards the top.

by SBF Mon Jan 05, 2009 12:01 am

And why is the Wii on the Failure Tier? Nintendo sold more Wii's and DS's in the last year than the other two systems.

by spaced cowboy Mon Jan 05, 2009 12:02 am

the fact that the wii is in the failure tier alone makes the list worthless. there is absolutely no measure by which the wii could be placed there. arguably, there should be 4 systems in the god tier, based on social impact. nes, snes, ps2, and probably the wii, given how it has exploded.

i don't own one, wouldn't, and am quite happy with my ps3. but you can't deny that nintendo did smash through to the mainstream in a way that sony and microsoft really never could.

and sbf, you were like 30 seconds ahead of me...

Yeah, the DC was very good and had some great games, but when PS2 came out, that was it for DC. PS2 didn't have shit for games until a year after the launch, but the hype machine got everyone standing in line and shooting each other for PS2s on launch day, and that was that.

I think the PS1 deserves to be in the God Tier more than PS2. PS2 had some healthy competition from the XBox and the Gamecube, but the PS1 was in a league of its own. Sega, Nintendo, Atari, and 3DO had nothing for them and looked completely lost by comparison. When you bury two console companies (Atari, 3DO) and start hammering nails in the coffin for a third (Sega) with one console, in your first foray as a console manufacturer, that's God Tier status.

My one favorite game on the Dream cast was Shenmue. I was so disappointed when Sega announced that they were discontinuing games right before Shenmue II was supposed to come out. It was only sold in Japan and Europe. Luckily, a friend of mine had acquired it with an emulator, so I was able to play a little of it.

I actually still have all of my original consoles, including my Atari 2600.

by Aristotle Mon Jan 05, 2009 2:00 am

i used to work with a guy that was a shenmue fanboy. dude talked about it every day until it was out on the DC. then he plays it for a week and trades it in for something else.

that was some kind of bullshit. :smelly:

Shenmue 2 did come out on the XBox in the US, though.

by SBF Mon Jan 05, 2009 2:39 am

I didn't have one for a long time until about a year and a half before 360 came out. I'll have to see if I can find a copy though.
