[QUOTE=mchapra;44470848]I'm probably the very few people who enjoyed that game even though it had nothing to do with starfox[/QUOTE] It nothing to do with starfox because it wasn't even supposed to be a starfox game to begin with.
[QUOTE=J!NX;44468673]starfox adventures was a bad game and yet krystal is like the baseline for bad furry porn[/QUOTE] I dunno dude, Starfox Adventures was a pretty interesting zelda game.
[QUOTE=usaokay;44471674]Furries ruined Digimon for me.[/QUOTE] Digimon didn't need furries to ruin it.
The developers were just lazy shits pumping out wannabe cash cows after SA2? Nah, it's obviously the furry fandom's fault. [QUOTE=usaokay;44471674]Furries ruined Digimon for me.[/QUOTE] I never was too big on Digimon at age 8. Disney's Robin Hood, however... I don't know why I loved it so much as a kid. :v:
[QUOTE=J!NX;44468673] starfox adventures was a bad game[/QUOTE] I dunno, I enjoyed it for being different than other Star Fox games. [QUOTE=J!NX;44468673]yet krystal is like the baseline for bad furry porn[/QUOTE] Disney would like a word with you.

[QUOTE=usaokay;44471674]Furries ruined Digimon for me.[/QUOTE] Implying digimon was good, its the one who started all those card related monster-robot knock-offs that totally aren't ripping off yu-gi-oh/pokemon. Disney has a reputation for doing furry animals in love related things: Robin Hood,Sword in the Stone ( when Merlin turns him and Arthur into squirrels and they just had to mix in female squirrels) and there might be some others I am missing. But as kids we usually didn't care. But its apparent that the internet shows it differently.
[QUOTE=J!NX;44468673]starfox adventures was a bad game and yet krystal is like the baseline for bad furry porn[/QUOTE] Wait, hold on, I thought Star Fox Adventures was considered very, very good?
[QUOTE=FlakAttack;44468825]I actually wrote a paper and did a presentation about furries for my Anthropology class a few years back. Virtually no one in my class had seen or heard of them outside a few CSI viewers. Interestingly enough, a few years later, almost everyone I know has heard of and even seen at least one brony. In a tiny amount of time bronies attracted more attention to themselves than the furry fandom did in 10 years. I find it hilarious that they managed to become so hated, MLP/Brony shit is as bannable as gore on many sites.[/QUOTE] Because they like running around shoving their show and opinions in peoples faces. Especially when they tell everyone of their friends that it is a good show and to watch it There are more (known) bronies in my school than (known) furries due in part because they like showing off and letting everyone know. Its sort of like there being no increase in homosexuals, just more homosexuals not afraid to come out
[QUOTE=Fhenexx;44472258]Wait, hold on, I thought Star Fox Adventures was considered very, very good?[/QUOTE] It was well recieved but not to the core Star Fox fans or purists (Mostly because it was different & they expected it to be hot shit like Star Fox 64...oh & Rareware was behind it, they gave them games iike Donkey Kong Country). [t]http://i.imgur.com/5iHSr4b.png[/t] I laugh at the Star Fox fans these days.
[QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;44472104][t]http://facepunch.com/image.php?u=63029&dateline=1391242427[/t] I do.[/QUOTE] Welp, I have been found out. *Sets out to destroy more anthro IPs*
man I remember when that word "anthro" was used. Movies, games, a lot of things Now people just call it with that awful label "furry" oh, wait.. [sp] i don't think that term was used enough in the 2000's [/sp] [editline]6th April 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=AJ10017;44470965]I doubt the furry fandom will ever come close to ending :P[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] [B][url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Really_Nifty_Differences[/url] says...[/B] (Yeah, it's [I]that[/I] steam group but it brings some valid points.) Primarily, anthropomorphism does not belong to any subculture, fandom, or independant group of people. it is simply a base form in itself that we stem different (more or less) cultural foundations from. Perhaps I've used cultural as too big of a sense. The obvious example of this is the furry fandom. Anthropomorphism and the fandom are in fact not one and the same. Anthro is like the base, the crust of a planet in which life sprouts from. Now furry would be like a tree. It needs the crust to survive as an anchor point and a source of everything that makes it physical. To lessen this metaphor down to a small mouthful, furry needs anthro to survive, anthro though does not need furry. A connection, but a distinction between the two. Thus in this, anthro belongs to everyone, and should be able to be seen by everyone as it is independantly rather than being smothered by the inevitable stereotypes that a large cancerous collective of social rejects have built upon it. [/QUOTE] [B]tl;dr:[/B] Ether way, if the furry fandom [I]were [/I]to die, nothing of value would be lost.
After playing through Sonic Adventure 1 and half of Sonic 06 i have came to the conclusion that Sonic 06 is better than DX but isnt as good by much than Adventures 2. Let the hate begin. I have my support on hold.
[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;44464226]I'm pretty sure the reasoning was that the Nintendo/Sega rivalry died out like the Cold War did, and Sonic just had nothing to do anymore, SEGA was done as console maker.[/QUOTE] So Sega = USSR? This just in: Eastern Ukraine invaded by hedgehogs
This was actually a decent read, despite being pretty biased and such
[QUOTE=spectator1;44472160]Implying digimon was good[/QUOTE] Shut your mouth. Season 3 was fucking amazing.
[QUOTE=Helix Snake;44475728]Shut your mouth. Season 3 was fucking amazing.[/QUOTE] Go back to hugging your Renamon Dakimakura pillow, season 1 was dabes Digimon doesn't really hold up without the nostalgia glasses though.
[QUOTE=Fhenexx;44472258]Wait, hold on, I thought Star Fox Adventures was considered very, very good?[/QUOTE] I think it was one of those games you either fell into the very specific category of the kind of people who enjoyed it or not. It really was something that wasn't made for everyone.
[QUOTE=mchapra;44476069]I think it was one of those games you either fell into the very specific category of the kind of people who enjoyed it or not. It really was something that wasn't made for everyone.[/QUOTE] Star Fox Adventures and Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts would probably be remembered as great games if they were original IP's. Shoving them into already popular franchises may have potentially increased sales, but the genre shift alienated fans.
It's good that sonic is dead, it's an unpopular concept (as in not many big deal game companies didn't like it) & sonic team decide to go "fuck sonic, we've got all this LSD & cocaine, we do what we want!" & threw sonic away.
