yea but you're comparing two genres:

1. which had hit it's highpoint at that time. avp wasn't the best arcade beatemup but you're comparing it the best because that was THE genre at the time.

2. a genre in it's infancy... doom, wolfenstein and avp suck when compared to the high point of their particular genre.

it's all relative. i enjoyed the game, dropped a ton of quarters into it. liked it more than the jaguar game.

takeaway: i could still play and enjoy the arcade version of avp... the jaguar game (or ANY 1st gen FPS) would make me want to gouge my eyes out.

none of them are goldeneye or hl2 that's for sure. the jag avp was probably the first to offer multiple storylines in a fps campaign, and that was part of the allure, but playing as a predator was really fun, and so was the alien. the marine...eh.

playing guardian legend would probably be like pulling teeth now, doesn't make it any less of an amazing game

i'm the opposite. i couldn't force myself to sit down and play streets of rage now, or battletoads or double dragon. at least the jag avp offers a wide variety in gameplay that modern fps could learn a thing or three from

jag avp = marine, several weapons, standard template of modern fps; alien, mostly melee with a spit attack i believe, could not heal, but could be reborn by infecting a marine and hatching when they died; predator, stealth with an honor system that unlocked or removed weaponry based on whether you were in stealth mode or visible when you made the kill. aliens could still smell you, and marines could see through the stealth if you weren't careful

modern fps = automatic rifle, grenade, knife

jag avp still one of the best fps despite its graphical limitations

this was 6 years before the pc version released, so lets compare super mario bros to super mario world next

or maybe we could compare link to the past to ocarina of time

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
