Has the perception of maturity ever factored into your gaming choices when you were younger? Bonus points if it was to the detriment of the actual entertainment value.

I certainly got hung up on the GameCube's perception of being a "kiddy" console. It's why Max Payne getting a PS2 and Xbox version but no GC version really ate away at me.

yes I regretted getting a n64 in my early teens. It turned me away from console gaming and more to PC gaming in the late 90s

[Anonymous No.8027358]

This has never once affected me, and I grew up right in the time when it was GAY AS FUCK to own a GameCube. I didn't care. I thought doom and quake were better FPS games than COD and Halo and I could play Quake and Doom on my PC, everything else I wanted to play was bright and colorful and fun. I looked down on kids my age for not knowing about those games and thinking Halo did something unique when they could just download Doom for free on their computers, meanwhile I never gave a shit if people mocked me because I preferred SA:2B over Halo because all my friends also had SA:2B and we had the times of our lives trading chao on our memory cards and talking about emblems in the school cafeteria.

Yeah, I tried it. I had an original Xbox with my gamecube, owned the first Halo, Doom 3, and the Doom 3 expansion game. Had some friends who were really into the series owning both games at the time, and we played co-op and death matches until 6 AM sometimes. I never really cared for it by myself though, and rarely played Halo 1. I never really thought the series was "cool" (the badass aesthetics of master chief were what really sold the game to kids my age), just a decent Xbox FPS that I was willing to play at a sleepover.

I remember getting in constant arguments with this one kid I went to school with who thought that any character from any piece of media was only as good as how strong they are. When Kingdom Hearts came out and I was talking about how fun it was he immediately hand-waved it away with "wow that's gay, some dumb kid with a stupid key sword? Master Chief would destroy him." He was also a die-hard fanboy for the OG Xbox during that console war, he used to always say that there was no such thing as a Japanese game worth playing. Being around him taught me pretty quick not to put stock in something just because it was perceived as "mature."

The sixth gen was also the peak of the "muh mature game" era, in which the Gamecube actually missed major M rated games like GTA, but I also especially blame game journalists. For example, scathing reviews for The Thousand Year Door, what publication already said that "we rate games based on how we think our audience will think of them" or some stupid shit like this
The AAA era of the seventh gen just excerberated things when game journos outright nearly ignored Wii games. I believe only few publications even bothered with most Wii games, while some AAA shit would get some obviously paid daily front page editorial stuff. Also peak Nintendoom news era, which lead Nintendo to eventually start the Nintendo Direct, but I digress here

Throughout the 90s is the key there. In 2000s, UT and Q3 with mods and Q3A were there for sci fi, MOHAA, RTCW and later Enemy Territory. Yeah, there weren't any EXACT Halo clones, but it is because PC already had a range of futuristic shooters with mix of hitscan and projecticle weapons from Quake II through Unreal to Red Faction. To call Halo a completely new and revolutionary experience is an overstatement. At least compared to PC scene.

I can, and there will be a big amount of truth in it. Try finding some of them in which shotgun wasn't the backbone of the arsenal, and the weapons didn't follow the same progression. Bonus points for ones where shotgun (or mechanically similar weapon) wasn't bind to 3, machine gun wasn't on 4 and rocket launcher wasn't on 5. Quake counts but it has less weapons, super nailgun is mechanically similar to an ordinary one, and the progression is the same. Until Half-Life it was set in stone, and even that inherited some of the system.

Don't self reflect, retard. It is clear that you are autistic. It is nearly impossible to argue with you on why Battlefield isn't like Halo, but I'll try.
>Halo has a sci-fi setting, whereas BF tries to go for realism (it was the closest game to war simulation before Arma)
>The guns in both games feel completely different because of that. In one, you have alien and futuristic weaponry. In BF, as it goes for realism, weapons don't have that same artificial punch
>shields/regenerating health in Halo
>Both have vehicular combat, but the vehicles are completely different.
>Maps and map sizes are completely different in both games. Halo has a focus on smaller maps, with more hand-to-hand combat. Whereas, BF has incredibly large map sizes.
>And I could fucking name 1000 more, but it is pointless.

If you think Halo is still like BF, there is no hope for you.

[Anonymous No.8037672]

>>8037560
>BF tries to go for realism
lol, no. battlefield 1942 had a realistic *theme* (you know, the largest war the world has ever seen), but it does not go for realism. that shit is crazy. bf1942 was based partially on codename eagle, which didn't sell well but the people who did play it loved it for its ridiculous multiplayer moments.
watch this and tell me they weren't playing into that with 1942: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbKmhtkbjn4
also:
>it was the closest game to war simulation before Arma
lmao what? im guessing op flashpoint went under your radar?
>weapons don't have that same artificial punch
okay, yeah, i get that; two different games are going to have completely different gunplay.
>shields/regenerating health in Halo
yes, in other posts this was addressed. that's really the biggest difference i can see for myself.
>the vehicles are completely different
okay, fair, they're entirely third person and handle differently. but again, i don't see this as a huge difference. UT is about as different in that regard.
>map sizes
essentially, this boils down to halo having smaller maps. BF has plenty of small maps, but halo has no huge ones.
>And I could fucking name 1000 more, but it is pointless.
if retreading ground already argued to death in this thread is all you could come up with, you posting this to begin with was pointless.
>If you think Halo is still like BF, there is no hope for you.
i don't think halo is like battlefield. i think that claiming that halo was especially unique, like the other retard in this thread was doing (presuming it isn't you trying to start up shit again)
>Sure you have. Take your meds before bed, schizo.
