@SOedipus: Maybe, I honestly can't remember forum users from 10 years ago all that well lol. It all starts to blend together.

I remember the names, but not much else.

It's not a black sheep, as the game is viewed very favorably. It's just hard to go back and play it because of it's age.

Zelda 2 is a better example of a black sheep, while you can argue it's a good game, it was a huge departure for the series and was generally disliked by the majority of zelda fans

I think Halo's days are long past.

With Fortnite, PUBG, and COD, and an insane amount of other online games there's just too much competition for a mediocre game, which Halo has kind of become

@SolidGame_basic

CaseyWegner....I haven't heard that name in a long time...a long long time.

If I remember correctly, He actually left during the peak of GS forums popularity. Something about not having enough time to properly monitor the forum because of his Job and Family.

Back in the day, that's something that happened every now and then. Forum members/mods would make posts saying goodbye; stating that they could no longer give the forum the adequate attention it deserved. Those were sad posts, as people really got to know one another and it was sad to see people go completely...or barely at all.

I bet if you browse that archive you might find Casey's goodbye post.

This is probably the best example for games over power. Both the Switch and PS4 are doing better than the X. Because of GAMES!

Mass Effect

Star Wars (Other than Fallen Order)

Devil May Cry (5 was fun, but a little shallow and I hate playing as V)

Fallout (Hate Base building in 4, 76 is yikes bad)

for a forum in 2020 this place is probably pretty active. But nothing like it used to be in the 2000's

If you're looking for a sense of community, Facebook groups, Reddit, and Discord would be better options.

I would suggest the MetalJesusRocks Discord. Pretty good community

I mean which ever console is less expensive is going to sell more in the US. Both companies know this.

If they cost the same, I could see the Xsex having a lead because of Power. But they'll probably just be neck and neck

@R4gn4r0k: As far as pixel graphics it's more of a style choice than anything else.

Also, when you really get deep into those games, you'll that just because they look like NES/SNES games, that doesn't mean those game are that limited.

Most newer pixel games will have better audio, larger worlds, better save features, and numerous visual effects not found on the Genesis/SNES.

This

The leap isn't as big as people think.
