It's still in EA, and has a way to go, but it's got really good potential and is a huge step up from PSO. So maybe society has peaked but games? Games are going strong.

faramir77 02/05/22 6:41:26 PM #9:	The Gamecube was criminally underrated. Aside from Melee which came out a little while after launch day, it had a pretty slow start. But after its 5 years, it had by far the best exclusives of any console in that generation, and a solid contender for best exclusives of any console ever. It was the last Nintendo console where all of the main Nintendo IPs actually had a decent game. We haven't seen much (or anything) from Star Fox or F-Zero since. Until recently, you could say the same about Metroid, too. --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiCtAUrZbUk -- Defeating the Running Man of Ocarina of Time in a race since 01/17/2009. -- <cite>faramir77 posted [p:962396184] in Society re...
