/vr/ - Retro Games

No. Kurt Kalata is a faggot cuck.

It has exclusive content, but given the quality of content on the site....

>>4133571
It's pathetic because HG101 really should be a great website but peoples opinions color it so bad.

I never read the books, but there's nothing in their reviews you couldn't figure out yourself just by loading up a rom and playing for 15 minutes.

>>4133592

even I could beat GNG loop included with some credit feeding and perseverance, howhever wrote this didnt give two shits it seems

>>4133571
How do cucks and sjws get into retro gaming? Pretty much every game must trigger them.

>>4133587
15 minutes per game * 100 games vs finding out the info in 1 second.

>>4133643
>seliph is a twerp
Groundbreaking information.

>>4133643

Why the rush to sound knowledgeable, bro? Nobody gives a shit about your old vidya knowledge.

I liked when they completely destroyed Idea Factory's reputation by spreading that the Japanese called them Idea Fuck.

>>4133564

They give Inafune credit for designing mega man. Though better than the "Father of Mega Man" nonsense most mags give, it's still misleading.

>>4133564

Would those books contain new information that's worth reading? If it's just nerds describing the game, any idiot can do that. If they did really serious research, and interviews, then that could be useful.

>>4133590
>>4133592
If this actually bothers you then the ess jay dubs are right

>>4133682
What, the sjws can't play ghouls and ghosts without cheats?

>>4133653

It's that actually true or not?

>>4133693
It's not, that's why it's hilarious.

SEGA also released Flashgal in 1985 whose main character was based on the wonder woman and her design served as inspiration for Blaze from Streets of Rage.

Are the Boss Fight Books any good? They're pretty modern, and seem to be filled with information and research. My question is what are they basing this research on?

Here's an excerpt:

The pieces of shit completely destroyed the career of that translator woth their autism, last I heard the were still running away and hiding every time they are called in court.

>>4133703

That was not HG101 themselves, but one of their editors. And it looks like the guy was outright schizo. I even heard a rumor that he's nowhere to be found and might be homeless now.

Which is a shame, since the project is a great concept. People write shitty blogs and posts about this or that, but few actually do the research and interview old devs.

>>4133702
>please disable adblock
Fucking shittaku, here's a screen capture.

>>4133705
>That was not HG101 themselves
Ohh, ok then I stand corrected.

Which is still a shame because it all started because of THAT interview that they since taken down, but it was great and one of the site's best moments imho.

>>4133703

Ok, that sounds great. Anyone has more information?

>>4133709

I want to know what in the hell they're basing this on since there's a lot of info in there that I haven't seen before. Did they do real in depth research, or did they just repeat what some Wikipedia articles say?

>>4133709
>Fucking shittaku
I had delete that website from my browser because it's so clickbait-y and misinformed, the editors are actually retarded. Have been leading a happier life ever since.

>>4133694
no, I mean, did they actually destroy their reputation?

>>4133735
Well, they were never known for great games to begin with.

>>4133686
Probably not, actually.

>>4133725
>>4133728

Thanks.I just knew Agness Kaku was involved somehow, since her interview disappeared suddenly. That John autist sure seems like a nutjob.

>>4133748
She's as crazy as he is. Social justice nutjob who got mad she was ordered to translate Metal Gear Solid 2 literally without taking liberties, then got blacklisted by the entire jap industry.

>>4133748
>>4133858
Yeah don't feel sorry for Kaku, she dug her own grave

>>4133571


THIS. don't support HG101 or their bullshit agenda

Remember when these guys posted how they were feeling bad about the world, """"coincidentally"""" right after Trump got elected?

The fact they, or whoever wrote that, were so serious made it really funny. Like, how dense or tonedeaf can you get

It's a good website, just don't ask how the sausages are made.

>>4133897
Cucko did nothing wrong.

>>4133912
Do people honestly read their articles? I just browse the site for recommendations and download the rom judging by how cool the graphics in the screenshots look.

>>4133923
I know I don't.

I may glance at some sections if it's just factual information, not too concerned with the opinions or review aspect of it.

>>4133735
It's not really much but I am an idiot who believed it for the longest time and stayed away from their games.

I do still think Cross Edge and Agarest are unplayable garbage but their newer stuff is alright. Not great but alright.

Well, Drumpfsters?

>>4134004
literally godwin's law

>>4134004
What was that, /vr/?

>>4134019
I thought that was my aunt for a second

>>4134019
>man tits

>>4134004
Was this after he had to take a break for a month from crying too much

way back when, i used to go there a lot, but kind of fell off for a long time.
now everyody shits all over it.
what exactly happened?

What's even the point of HG101? I've read a few articles and it just seems to be a the history of a select few games.

>>4134019
Is this the guy that writes HG101? Jesus how old is he?

>>4134096
It's not just one guy, tbut if I understood correctly he's part of the website and not an occasional writer

>>4134089
>what exactly happened?
SJW bullshit is at the core of it all, plain and simple
in the outskirts of that shit parade, there's their growth which started around what, the beginning of this decade? and quality started going down too, with SJW crap slowly creeping in as it became more fashionable to talk shit about politics in any context, and they still dont proofread or edit their articles before publishing. I remember when they started talking about money and donations, it was to pay people to write more content for the website, but it's hit or miss as far as my experience tells me. Now 10 years ago? That's the HG101 I like to remember.

>>4134089
>what exactly happened?
The owner started shoehorning his political ideologies into articles about 8-bit hop-and-bops. The other writers followed suit.

Not that any of the articles were ever well written in the first place.

Have they reprinted the books with the "new content" too?

>>4134115

I still read HG101 and I don't think it's THAT bad. There's some politics stuff in the articles sometimes yeah, but it's nothing excessive, and it's still a cool place to discover unknown or niche games, although obviously the quality of the articles depends on the contributor.

the decline started when they stopped giving a shit about real games and started to talk about indies non-stop. I don't care about their political views, but that shit killed the site for me

>>4134004
They'll see me as B.J. Blazkowicz? That's fucking rad!

>>4134142
You're right, it's not world shatteringly horrible or anything close to it. I'm all for injecting some personality into reviews and stuff, always better than being dry and lifeless, but it's just noticeable and, imho, grating enough that it feels like an honest misstep. But yea, to their credit it's not pervasive and the reviews are still about the games, but their reviews are a whole other can of worms, they should have better standards for writers, we got newfags here who can do better than some of them

>>4134019
That's the most archetypal example of slinnyfat i've ever seen in my life. This 'man' has never lifted anything heavier than a mega drive power brick.

>>4134115
>Now 10 years ago? That's the HG101 I like to remember.
Same. It was nice for discovering games back then, seeing all the different versions of a game with a slew of screenshots and nothing really lengthy. They kept it simple. Just compare the old and new.
