A terrible old wrestling game you've probably never heard of

I think I had this!

In the grand tradition of all of my C64 games being shitty cassette copies, which my brother had written whatever name first came to mind to describe them, I never knew what the vast majority of my games were actually called - particularly as a surprising amount of them had no title screen. I think this one was "SHIT FIGHTING".

Just seeing these reports of Destiny having a budget of $500m and needing to potentially sell 15-16m copies just to break even, it kinda feels like stating the obvious but man that has the potential to crash hard. I know it's meant to be a big long term franchise though so maybe things will be easier once they use this initial launch to establish a fan base and I guess they do have all of that Call of Duty money to fall back on so it's not like this is going to kill them or anything. Still, that's an outrageous budget.

15-16 million? Jeeze. That's a bit ambitious. GTA, a well known (and great) game was the only game last year to break 13m in sales (in fact, it doubled). (at least, according to this one website)

I don't know...that seems a bit too risky. And I personally don't know if I want to get Destiny...just seems like a less comedic Borderlands.

Ooh, forgot about 1080 F1 and V-Rally.. man, I loved them.

Never got Excitebike in Holland which sucked 'cause all the magazines did seem to write about them. :/

[TheWho87]

It came out towards the end of the N64's life so finding a copy can be a bitch even more so in Europe since it was delayed, I'm lucky to have grabbed it as part of a bundle at a car boot

They're banking hard on people that weren't 360 last time caring about a game from the Halo guys. I'll admit I'm interested, but I've still yet to see anything that promises to live up to the expectations. But hey, Borderlands with a serious story and better gun mechanics could be fun. Maybe I'd finish this one if it had all that. >_>

[Benji]

Borderlands with serious story and better gun mechanics? Those are two of the best things about Borderlands

fucking long list without the zelda games

How could you forget the two Zelda games?!

[Crybaby Bunting]

Because they're boring and aged terribly.

Like No Mercy.

[KiddKorupt]

I'm gonna add Hybrid Heaven to the "great n64 games" list. The movement can be a little wonky, but the combat makes up for it IMO.

[TheWho87]

Fecking GAME (the shop not a specific game), went to on of their quiter branches and saw they had a copy of Metal Gear Legacy took it to the desk and noticed 2 copies in their drawer, then the fecking thing wont go through their computer and they cant sell me the game, I've been hunting that game down since it came out and I got blocked by a fecking barcode machine....FUCK GAME!

Decided to check out Darksiders II finally after Bound by Flame turned out to be a bomb. It's alright! Holy shit, the PC port is crappy though. Screen tearing and low res textures all over the place.

Bound By Flame is shit? Well, that's one PS4 game I don't have to get!

[TKz]

It's mostly unbalanced, apparently. Random enemies take forever to kill for no reason, for example. Otherwise, it seems to do what it can for an indie title, but the budget just kind of shows sadly.

[Benji]

Anyone interested in a Play-Along of the Mass Effect series? I've been meaning to do the hardest mode for ages and just haven't gotten around to it.

[Colly]

I'm a fair bit into the first one at the moment having never played any of them, my gaming time is very narrow though so you'd all beat me by about four years.

[TheWho87]

So Rudo Resurrection is a thing again, and trying to go through Kickstarter and Steam Greenlight

Also just noticed it was put in the Chikara thread

Wolfenstein? Good reviews? WHAT THE HECK.

[TKz]

It's an old school FPS! Run and gun rather than wait behind your buddies as they open doors for you! Health packs that you can't take around with you! Armour and dual wielding everything! Will probably pick it up later tonight.
