You are continuing to harp on one word in a post even after I've gone so far as to take that word back and restate my original post.
Not true.
Yeah, people like us that have been playing games since they were kids would know a little more about Wolfenstein, DK and all that shit. Any average person isn't going to know that. The kids buying video games today don't know any of that shit.
The average kid may not know it, but that doesn't negate the fact that these games helped redefine gaming and opened it up for other games. Kids now days may not have heard of Jackie Robinson, let alone Satchel Paige or Josh Gibson, but does that mean they are irrelevent to baseball? No, but that's your premise: Kids don't know so it doesn't exist. LMAO!
And even Angry Video Game nerd has said that he'd never heard of Street Fighter untill Street Fighter 2 came out. That's another game you are claiming as evidence of something but... DID YOU EVER PLAY IT, LET ALONE HEAR OF IT BEFORE SF2?
Yes, I played SF when Round Table Pizza was open in Rancho. They had the one with the two big buttons that you had to pound hella hard. Now, my question to you is why do you think playing a game is a prerequisite to citing it as a source of information or proof? Why are you citing Angry Video Game Nerd as a source or end all? We are not talking about Angry Video Game Nerd talking about he never
heard of SF until SF2 came out. We are talking about SF2 not being the ORIGINATOR of fighting games. What you're saying and what I'm saying are two completely different things here.
Besides the fact that you never even heard of Urban Chaos before you "researched" the interwebs for evidence of "sand-box" games before GTA, I don't give a shit what anybody says. That game is not comparable to GTA. Period.
Read my first response to you on page 4. Any person with a semi-functional brain can see that unlike yourself, I already knew what I was talking about and didn't have to "research" anything. In fact, I didn't give you any proof of what I was talking about until pages later.
Any way you slice it, you never played anything close to GTA before it came out, except for the original GTA for PC and Playstation, which was released in 97. THATS TWO YEARS BEFORE URBAN CHAOS.
Wrong. Refer to what I Pukokeki Ioulo Momu said. Do you have anything else to add? You get the last word here as I'm tired of going back and forth with someone who is completely clueless. Make it funny, make it intelligent and logical, and you'll be famous all over the internets.
