I still don't really understand this.
Maybe if the guy had a kkk robe on or a swastika tattooed on his forehead.
Just seems like 2 manly men throwin down to me.

>90% of modern American boxers are black
>modern society would still say this image is racist

Seems like it's equally racist to show the black guy winning just for being black.

>>2826754
that noble gentleman on the left must have a strange skeleton.

>>2826754

the other dude is obviously just light-skinned.

>>2826781
He's white passing, so its ok.

>>2826754
Isn't it just your imagination that this wouldn't float today. I mean you guys like to fabricate opportunities to whine at SJWs even when they haven't actually whined at anything.

Remember that who whines first loses (won't deny the SJWs whine a lot though)

>>2826786
Not OP but this scene has actually been edited or removed in various ports before.

>>2826754
I vaguely remember some versions having a randomly played alternative animation with the black guy winning.

>>2826817
The concept of a woman without clothes is just a white male fabrication.

>>2826817
Ohh totally! Nothing at all lewd is allowed anymore. Just look at how much the SJW turbotards forced Netherealms to cover Mileena up. Disgusting.

I don't get why SF2 wasn't ported to the Mega Drive. Everyone knows that the SNES cannot into arcade games.

>>2826754
Is there any game that encapsulates the early 90s better than this?

BETTER VERSION

>>2826846
Hyper Fighting version

>>2826817
eh, that's probably only because it's a minor, and the west has their panties in a bunch over CP. in previous years they'd solve that by changing the characters age instead...

>>2826879
Mega Drive version

>>2826831
MK9 was from 2011. It's a different time now. Look at how much they changed the designs to cover everyone up in X. It was a big deal leading up to the release with tons of people calling Boon a SJW for toning down the balloon tits and etc. Notice how X has no nude Mileena anymore.

This is what they called SF2 Champion Edition.

The japanese mega drive version has nig intact. They did remove his sleeves for some reason in the sega ports though.

>>2826763
>Just seems like 2 manly men throwin down to me.

see picture.

>>2827313
It's not just the sleeves, the entire scene looks redrawn to me.

>>2827326
Oh yeah I know its redrawn I just found it funny how they didnt include the sleeves when they ported it over

>>2827331
Less sleeves=more badass
They also dropped his left hand, to stop him looking camp when he throws the punch.

>>2826941
It's a random NPC woman you clipped out of one of the earlier images.

And if you meant Mileena I certainly hope you didn't. That would be like not knowing Zelda.

>>2826891

okay, I lost my shit.

>>2827393
I agree; Larry is a concept that wouldn't really work today.

>>2827463
I'm personally very excited about creating my own stuff with inspirations from these games. I almost feel privileged about "getting it". most people nowadays will go "ugh, a dick joke? sooo clever" and not even try to get a sense of what kind of atmosphere these games are creating
there's something delightfully sleazy and irredeemable about larry that makes the series very unique, in my opinion. I can see how a lovable oaf like guybrush threepwood is more viable today, he's funny and at the end of the day he's a sweet guy, no harm done. larry is pathetic to the core and ugly in every way imaginable.
He makes me think of neil hamburger and though neil functions on a more "sophisticated" level of anti-comedy they both of revel in the same type of tackiness

>>2827384
Simpsons version

>>2827545
>>2827384

>>2827507
Larry is rooted in what sex and dating was like in the 70s-80s. That's mainly why it doesn't quite work today. It conjures up images of Journey albums and women with huge poofy haircuts.

>>2826754
There is nothing unreleasable about this today, and you just posted this shitty troll thread on /v/. Fuck off.

>>2826906
The character designs in MK9 were fucking horrendous and MKX were some of the best ever. Anti-SJW crybabbies are a fucking cancer and are just as ignorant as the people they bitch about. Can't understand the concept of good character design if it gets in the way of their moaning.

Also Boon has never designed a character in his life.

>>2827561

no yea and there's plenty of dated references and jokes in the series, the age quiz killed me even back then, especially since I'm not american.
I'm thinking of reviews like this
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-07-22-leisure-suit-larry-reloaded-review
in which it's easy to dismiss everything about it as outdated sleaze

>>2827598
>no yea and there's plenty of dated references and jokes in the series, the age quiz killed me even back then, especially since I'm not american.
You know you can just skip that by pressing Ctrl-X.

>>2827603
could you do that back then as well? at least ten year old me got to learn that perrier is non-alcoholic and joe dimaggio played baseball

>>2827561
Ok how would you make a game like LSL today? Like make it in a way that's relevant to the dating scene the way it exists in 2015.

>>2827616
The original EGA game lets you skip the trivia quiz with Ctrl-X and Ctrl-Alt-X in the VGA remake.

>>2827598
"@nottorp game seems to have been reviewed just fine "prehistoric and outdated at the time series gets revived, is still a travesty, has no place today".

Think back of the top point and click series of the day and LSL isn't one of them. We've moved on. Everyone has."

I agree with this. Some of the 80s-90s adventure games could work today. Indiana Jones could work. Monkey Island could work. Maniac Mansion, Zak McKracken, and Day of the Tentacle could not; they're products of that era.

As for Sierra games, King's Quest might work today due to the abstract fantasy setting. Space Quest is more debatable. Larry is extremely, egregiously dated.

>>2827326
that pic is a pretty good summation of sjws and the problem with them.

>>2827619
For one thing, if Larry is a 40 year old loser today who lives in his mom's basement, he wouldn't be wearing a leisure suit because he was born in the 1970s and would have been in diapers when leisure suits were in.

Anyway, if you want to do this game today it would have to have some storyline where he tries to get laid by picking up a date on Facebook and...something to that effect.

>>2827645
Al Lowe actually has said that Larry was based on his personal fantasies although he's actually nothing like him IRL. The character is described in the original game as being 40 because that was how old Al was in 1987 when the game came out.

>>2827598
"Lucasarts series of games have managed to retain a certain timeless appeal through their thoughtful scripting. LSL has not aged well, and coming out for general release, just stuck its face in the firing line for this review.

Some games need to stay in the past."

See this guy is wrong right there. I pointed out several LucasArts games which are very badly dated.

>>2827619
not that guy but what I liked about larry is the cynicism and the character dynamics.

how to persuade someone into having sex with you always came down to getting the girl an item or whatever. and it usually ends with larry getting shafted either way. you're basically controlling a deceitful (in the sense that he tries to convince women of his love and respect when he's really just looking to get laid) guy and every puzzle solution lends to that. there's really nothing admirable about him. and the girls are usually just looking for a favor, there's basically ugliness in both camps

I personally cannot relate to the lounge lizard culture but I definitely could see a new game in which the protagonist is just looking for a lay even though the odds are stacked against him in. it's such a base "quest" that it immediately lends itself to a bunch of unique obstacles and conflicts.

virtual novels are doing that stuff today but it's much more smutty and more based around delivering porn with a story. I'd like to think that the motivation to get laid as a driving force for puzzles and story can be rewarding in itself

>>2827634
don't get me wrong, I understand that it's not a classical series in any way. it is a very dated both when it comes to puzzles and writing. it's just that I personally see the potential in larry's character

>>2827679
>I personally cannot relate to the lounge lizard culture

That's one of the big things that comes off as outdated. Lounge lizard culture just isn't a thing today.

>>2827679
>don't get me wrong, I understand that it's not a classical series in any way. it is a very dated both when it comes to puzzles and writing. it's just that I personally see the potential in larry's character

The basic concept of the game (40 year old virgin in his mom's basement tries to get laid) is fine, the setting is what dates it.

>>2827687

exactly. if you want to be obvious, make a combination of papers, please with online dating.

in order to get the perfect profile picture you must use an in-game image editor to remove your triple chin and stringy facial hair

>>2827692
I tend to forget the very dated references and stuff, lsl's lasting impression on me is that you're a loser that's trying to pick up ladies. it immediately makes you think "okay so larry is unfunny and ugly, how do I make this woman fall in love with him", it makes you think creatively about this sort of stuff

>>2827696
another idea
in order to successfully impress a lady you must combine the perfect set of unique in-game emojis. if she's interested in animals you obviously use a cute puppy emoji and so on.. mix these manipulative online tactics with some imagery from his dingy basement and you have a larry laffer for the modern age

Must be some setup where you need to dodge her friends when she inevitably busts your one-night stand ass.

>>2827716
>emoticons are mysogynist
stop giving ideas, it's painful to read

>>2827726
and to increase the chance of getting lucky you must have a condom. but to buy a condom you must sneak around the house picking up coins and making sure your mom doesn't find out

>>2827732
I never said that but since the game is about getting laid you're obviously manipulating the girl into thinking you like dogs as well.

>>2827571
She's basically wearing a full burka there.

>>2827812
that's why it's better, because they are hiding their hideous faces

>>2826906
>It's a different time now.
Not really.

The real world doesn't actually give a fuck about SJW caterwauling.
They're louder now, yes, but people also hate them.
Few devs give in to their nagging, and rarely on something that matters.

>>2827820
Mileena's face is a turnoff to me, but at the same time her big grin is so charming in it's own way.

>>2827873
>It's just some fag who got banned from /v/ trying to spread his shit here for the next few days.
Figured as such, strikes me as your average /v/ermin shitposter.

>>2827651
I can dig that it was an upgrade to Al Lowe. Seriously, that guy is the most greasy-sleazy looking son of a bitch ever.

>>2827634
Not to argue since I kind of agree, but what makes Maniac Mansion/Day of the tentacle obsolete? I can certainly see it being made in the world of today with the pop references of today. Zack Mcrkacken on the other hand is very much late eighties, early nineties. It could be revamped I guess.

Space Quest however would work very much still. Sure the techno babble would be different, but the premise might very well stay the same.

>>2827874
The US lost their shit. The campaign ran in a different country. Sony never attempted the campaign in the US, because they knew people in the US would lose their shit. The campaign ran quietly and successfully until the US discovered it. Sony had to drop the campaign, outside of the US, because of the US.

>>2828663
take that freedom, you communist

>>2828152
Vat? DOTT is so, so early 90s in every way that it couldn't possibly work today. The pop culture references and characters are all archetypes of that time period.

And I don't see how you can say DOTT is less dated than Zak which has fewer overt pop culture jokes in it except Elvis references and he'd already been dead for some time when the game came out.

>>2828812
ZM is dated in the sense that it's parodying 80s-90s supermarket tabloids which if you ever saw those things, it was always "Ancient aliens did this" and "Egyptian pyramids that" and "Nostradamus blah blah blah" and "Elvis sighting yadda yadda yadda". That said, it's not quite as in-your-face as DOTT where Bernard is a stereotypical pocket protector geek like you'd see in bad 80s movies and Hoagie is a Gen Xer metalhead slacker and so forth.

>>2827873
>Sage and report to show his kind we don't tolerate gamer gate garbage on our board.
Can we stop using the whole goober goater boogey man already? Most of the people here don't really care either way. Sure the movement got really stupid, but constantly referring to it and name calling won't change anyone's mind or make things any better.

I guess you lament the "old days" of /vr/ when it was an over moderated hugbox for faggots and anything remotely off-topic was deleted and bans were handed out like carbon dioxide. I for one am glad that those days are long over and there's a little more room for good old fashioned shit-posting fun.

>>2829140
Something like Larry could be possible today, but it would need to cater to today's pop culture, instead of 80's/late 20th century pop culture, meaning the main character would probably just be some random beta or guy with a beard.

Yeah, sorry that we're not all in stitches over the insipid EPIC /v/ brand of humor, instead of discussing videogames we should make ironic shitposts about SJW culture and other shit that's totally relevant.

When /vr/ became, a lot of people were happy because it was a board where you could legit discuss videogames on, what NOBODY but the /v/omit audience wanted was for it to be a carbon copy of /v/ dedicated to old games.

We're not all 12 years old.

>>2829430
I lean more on the anti-sjw side, but really, both sides are shit. One is a bunch of shitty sjws, and the other are people who endlessly bitch about them.

Either way, this isn't a GG bitching thread

>>2829432
Then there are trolls passing as both

There's no way this would see the light of day in today's super sensitive times.

>>2829512
It was even censored back then. In the SNES version, he was called Chief Wigwam.

I remember first seeing this intro on a cab in this really shitty sub shop my dad used to get dinner from in the 90's as a kid. I was pretty wowed over GRAPHICS and violence of two dudes scrapping on the screen.

That being said, realistically, and a lot more 'triggering' would be two black guys throwing down in the streets.

Anyway, shit like this from /vpol/ is pretty gay and gets on my nerves when shitposters like OP try and whip up and interject stupid racist sentiment where's it's not needed.

Like videogames.

Wonder if they realize they are basically the right-wing version of feminists?

One screams about patriarchy the other screams about dark skinned males.

>>2829520
Read that as Chief Wiggum and wondered "How the hell can they get away with that?" and then noticed the W and A

bumpp

>>2826754
I highly doubt people would think this is that racist.

Konami getting the most out of the Simpsons license.

>>2829547
It sucks that the game got pulled off of PSN and XBLA, and with Konami's current situation, will never see an official port again

Also, the Simpsons game had that one Japanese part which probably wouldn't fly these days... although, considering how wacky and how loose of an adaptation it is of the show, the whole game would have been a lot different if done today.

>>2829361
For you

>>2829521
SJW's and /pol/tergeists are very much the same, it's called horseshoe theory.

Each are awful persons.
Each are incredibly fucking annoying.
Each are radical and inherently authoritarian and pro-censorship.
Each can literally only look at the world through black and white, there exist no nuances or shades of gray, you're with them or against them, their opinion is right, everyone else's is wrong.
Each gets offended at fucking asinine shit and absolutely have to tell people when they do.
Each live in echo chambers.
Each have serious problems understanding why anyone would disagree with them and go through amazing mental gymnastics to try to explain it.
Each use skewed or fake research to present their case and perpetuate long-standing myths
Each use some kind of buzzword to try to deflect criticism or disbelief (Jew/MRA for instance, or privilege/degeneracy)
Each are incredibly bigoted
Each desperately propagates revisionist history

They are so insanely fucking similar to each other in behavior and modus operandi, if you just strip away the descriptive words. They don't have the same opinions but they think and act EXACTLY the same.

Custer's revenge Remake

>>2829893
>Not only is this infamous release from Mystique a crude and unlikeable game, it is also a crude and unlikeable game in which you play as the historical character General Custer attempting to rape a native American woman who is tied to a pole. This grim theme is not some sort of commentary on colonialism, but intended as a piece of titillation, produced under the publisher’s “Swedish Erotica” label alongside other pixellated porn. “I just don’t believe that adults want to shoot down rocket ships,” said one Mystique exec at the time.

>>2829658
Anon pointed out that /pol/tergeists and Social Justice Kucks are very similar, I explained to him that this was Horseshoe Theory.

Predictably, /pol/ gets colon clobbered.

>>2829767
Are you angry? You should blow off some steam or something.

>>2829893
That was pretty infamous in it's day, feminists and parent teachers association were upset about it when it became known. Remember, there was NO copy protection for the Atari 2600, anyone who knew how could put together a game and sell it, so there was nothing stopping 'Swedish Erotica' (that's what they labeled their line of games, seriously), from being sold, god knows Atari tried to sue them, because that wasn't good PR for them.

I guess it can be interpreted as kind of offensive, because depending on how you look at it, this is Colonel Custer and an Indian in a rape scenario, but ultimately, it's on the same level as some shitty flash game you'd find on Ebaums. It's a dumb thing to get upset about.
