Message: [QUOTE="ATenderLad, post: 85450, member: 3864"] [I]Final Fight Streetwise[/I]?...sorry, "Streetwise". A 3D Capcom beat 'em-oh this is gonna be bad, I see. Random notes! [LIST] [*]Maximo? Someone give me a cigarette to take a long drag from, it's been awhile. [*]Came right for Fake's throat with that paragraph. [*]I think of the massive success of Final Fight - which was iterating on the already popular Double Dragon but outshines that game in most ways - is partly to do with the aesthetic. Japanese games in the 90's were *so* good at capturing the feel of 80's action movies. By comparison, their attempts to roll in pop culture in the 2000's are mostly tragedies; tragedies with nu-metal soundtracks. [*]I kinda respect the "KT" nickname for that Boy Named Sue energy. [*]Oh shit, Vol.3. That was all my brother wanted to listen to back then, windows down blaring Before I Forget as I dropped him off at work or hit the drive-thru. [*]Good of them keep Cody's "Escaped from a chain-gang" chic. [*]I love how KT's apartment is so "Hard-livin' hard-lovin'" tough guy-coded, but he has that little rug by the bedside so his little feeties don't have touch the cold floor first thing in the morning. (You know his girlfriend is suggesting "Her place" every chance she gets.) [*]Had to look him up, Marvel Unlimited has two issues that Kaniuga penciled back in the day; his one issue of Thor was really good in particular. [*]Slam that button, teach that jabbering popinjay a thing or three about fiscal policy! (You really got me with that bit, laughing here to myself.) [*]All of this seediness has me worried that Haggar's mayoral tenure was a net negative for Metro City. [*]That combo/score marker shouting "Decent!" has such a mocking tone, "Hey I guess you *are* playing this video game, that's real good champ!" [*]I got so unreasonably excited by "temporarily forming into one super thug" before I kept reading and grok'ed the full sentence. [*]Sounds like Final Fight is stuffed in there like an apology, like stuffing a twenty into a generic birthday card you grabbed on the way to the party. [/LIST] Another fantastic review, you nail that magazine vibe like nobody's business. Also, I'm very excited by the hint at some kind of article about brawlers of the aughts or what have you, I'm here for it whatever it is. [/QUOTE]
