What do you think about Jet Set Radio?

I found it oddly depressing frankly

>>11851303 (OP)
The gg's became my Ryan Gosling in 2023

>>11851303 (OP)
ok game but pretty shallow compared to tony hawk

Accurate reproduction of Shibuya.

>>11851303 (OP)
A lot of fun.

>>11851303 (OP)
Back then, this game, sitting there in my pile of 8 or so Dreamcast, it was something special. I only had so many games I could play so i appreciated them alot more.

These days, its just 1 game among thousands that are just a few clicks away. Its hard to really separate it from the nostalgia and give an honest opinion about it.

>>11851303 (OP)
I could SWEAR it was called Jet GRIND Radio. Is this some Mandela effect universe shit???

>>11851306
Why?

>>11851446
It is Jet Grind Radio in the U.S. and Canada, but the original title is Jet Set Radio. Just legally it couldn't be called that in North America.

>>11851446
Americans thought Jet Set Radio was too catchy of a title so they changed it to something worse.

I think that Cube is the loveliest

But i'm european though... I guess i pirated the US ISO

>>11851494
I think Jet Set Radio wasn't allowed to be used in Europe as well.

>>11851303 (OP)
One of those games that influenced culture beyond just gamers.

good game but very style over substance

one of the best games ever with an amazing OST, it holds up well, the controls are a bit janky but that's about it

terrible controls

Apparently there's a company that made limited edition extreme inline boots for the 25th anniversary of JSR. Also dropped a promo video of some guys skating them in shibuya. Pretty cool.

>>11851303 (OP)
I like it but I like Future even more

>>11851303 (OP)
the thing i wanna know is when tf did the name change?
it was jet GRIND radio when i was a kid

>>11851303 (OP)
naganuma's "music" sucked back then and still does now, i could never stand the soundtrack of this game t.b.h.

same goes for sonic rush which also bears the curse of naganuma's shitty sample hodgepodge.

11851957
bait

>>11851982
house music is for niggers and faggots, whenever I play video games I mute the t.v. and perform a cover of john cage's 4'33".

the 2000s were so fucking great

>>11851864
It was always JSR in Japan. It was JGR in the west for legal reasons. As time passes and people are less worried about stepping on jewish IP toes, the original name took hold again in western minds.

>>11851303 (OP)
neat prototype

>>11851324
Why must JSR(F) always get compared to Tony Hawk?

>>11852229
>It was JGR in the west for legal reasons
Wrong, it was only JGR in America. The in-game station was still called Jet Set Radio though, and JSRF was always JSRF even stateside.

>>11852734
>JSRF always get compared to Tony Hawk?
I have never seen that happen

>>11852736
I literally could not give less of a shit about your irrelevant pisshole country, yuropoor.

>>11851303 (OP)
shit game but has a great sequel.

>>11852751
Why'd the name change if you didn't care?

>>11852757
Nobody cares about your tears, irrelevant yuropoor trash.

>>11852736
>Wrong, it was only JGR in America.
America is the west, retard

>>11852762
But you're trying so hard.

Unbearably slow. the characters are on rollerblades but barely move above walking speed.

>>11852751
I'm not European you fuckwit lol.

>>11851587
Why "not allowed"?

>>11854864
new game never ever

>>11851303 (OP)
I want to like it more than I actually do. Art direction and music are top notch, goes without saying, but I didn't have fun with the gameplay. I found it too slow and often frustrating with having to go around picking up the spray cans and the minigame for the graffiti and feeling very imprecise with some jumps. I never tried the sequel, I heard it improved on some of this.

>>11851303 (OP)
Very cool. Endrearing arcade like experience in true Sega spirit, vibrant graphics and amazing OST. Could have much better button mapping though.

>>11851587
it was

>>11855012
It's really a game about precision platforming and is very punishing when it comes to making mistakes. The game really shines once you get familiar with the maps and how you can move around in them, lots of shortcuts can be discovered by simply goofing around.

>>11852767
I missed the part where you said "the west" in the partitive case.

>>11851306
the sequel, yes. lots of lonely dark places.
the first one is too arcadey to get to me that way.

>>11851462
actually some band pitched a fit and they had to change the name

>>11851303 (OP)
Glorifying attention whoring vandals is despicable

>>11858727
>t. never played the game

>>11854939
Huh? 3 is coming. There's even a trailer.

>>11851303 (OP)
I think it has a lot of cute girls

>>11862365
what is this unironic xitter tranny stuff

I liked JSRF better because there was more to do on your skates. JSR had a heavier emphasis on graffiti and it just didn’t hit for me. My preferred graffiti game is Marc Ecco’s Get Up.

JGR and JSRF are some of my favorite games to play in summer. The maps with the evening sun are very relaxing to me, so much so that I moved my setup into my sun room. Sorry for the poor contrast in advance

>>11862434
a shame, if they were original characters, they could pass for a late 90's, early 2000's cartoon

>>11859198
watch it turn into live service slop

>>11866382
she kinda cute doe

>>11851303 (OP)
Cool aesthetic, kinda boring to actually play.

>>11860020
For me, it's Cube

>>11866382
would

accessing the spray list on dreamcast back in the day was so slow lol
you could get sprays as DLCs or something but man DC's netcode was an afterthought
I have an old screen photo of connecting to irc using the dreamcast client and it's kino of the absolute jank variety

>>11871998
why does he look like john romero now

woke trash

UNDERSTAND!, UNDERSTAND!, UNDERSTAND!, UNDERSTAND!, UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF LOVE!

>>11862365
That rendition of Gum is reminding me of May Kanker. I have an affinity for retards so I like it.

Perfect game!

>>11866959
It could but people here are weebs who wouldn't be able to tell anyway

>>11874303
I came here to say this

Jet Set Radio has always been my fav game

Pretty stoked on the new game, hope it releases soon

>>11858719
Was it the monochrome set? They have a song called jet set junta

>>11851957
It’s crazy how memed the soundtrack to these games are because in all honesty there are like 2 or 3 songs in each game that are catchy and the rest is obnoxious (despite what fanboys say). There are games with a better formula that give you songs to purchase in game and you can create a playlist from like 50 or so tracks so you have a way better chance of finding stuff you like. Works even better when they have a few different genres also.

>>11851957
Electric Toothbrush clears every other JSR song by a quarter mile, and Naganuma had nothing to do with that.

His "songs" are cacophonic nonsense, made even worse when people try to ape him and his style to horrific results (The soundtrack to Victory Heat Rally is a good recent example of this)

The new one is going to be so shit.
Also what the FUCK is segas problem never re-releasing Future?

>>11886670
Love it, both the original and future are great games.
>Also what the FUCK is segas problem never re-releasing Future?
No idea, Phil Spencer has said that he tried to put it on the BC program for the newer Xbox consoles but it apparently wasn't possible.

Why is this game so popular?
Also, from just watching some clips, it's a shame Sega didn't perfect this camera system, for example the camera turning quickly instead of cutting to a new angle. It would be so much better than modern right analog camera.
