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

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
