The state of arcade games in 2019

Its still probably their best game ever created, because they didn't need to create any of the assets themselves.

What was wrong with the cabinets?

Oh, also take note that headshots mean nothing, and every enemy takes half a mag to down, even the tiny guys.

I don't play halo so i don't know the enemy names.
every raw thrills game is make out of this heavy heavy particleboard that disintegrates if you even think about it, the cab designs box all the components in so you have to needlessly take off cabinet structural parts off to get at things as basic as the P1 start microswitch(Looking at you terminator/aliens you rat bastard fuck!) and the components are the worst, shittiest chinkshit components. Screens will wear out after a year, pots bust themselves monthly(How do you fuck up a pot?) almost every machine is underfused, so you constantly blow fuses till you actually look at the power ratings on the components, The worst worst worst government surplus dell workstations from 2007 as the PCs, so you regularly get freezes on a fucking arcade machine. And that's assuming the damn thing finishes the game, as they don't ground fucking anything, so literally any static discharge buttfucks most of their racers. Sure do love giving out $5 worth of refunds on fast and furious! Thanks fuckos!

Holy shit thank you

See this piece of shit? The rails are made out of the same shit as those ugly plastic mailboxes, and every snoboarder you'll see has scrapemarks near the board. Why?

BECAUSE RAW FUCKS WAS TOO GODDAMN CHEAP TO PUT LOCTITE ON THE FUCKING MOUNTING BOLTS, SO THEY HAD TO SEND OUT INDIVIDUAL BOTTLES OF GENERIC CHINESE THREADLOCKER!

That seems like a nightmare to maintain and worse quality than an Arcade1up cab.

Huh. And I thought it was because americans were so fucking fat.

It figures that they would fuck shit up with only two available snowboarders as well.

The arcade I work at is about to get some new games, sadly I dont know which ones were getting yet, crossing my fingers for anything BUT raw thrills shooters

Yeah, they did it for the movie "Every Fucking Marvel Movie Since The Buyout".

Hey at least this one has a fucking joystick
It's better than their Injustice game that's a literal mobile port and has three buttons with no stick

Raw Thrills is cancer but at least there's a Round 1 near me with an entire candy cab section and all the current Bemani games

Raw thrills is so bad at components, they don't even ship with TVs anymore.
i don't freelance, so i haven't worked on an arcade1up(fucking lmao those are a ripoff) but raw thrills has only 1 good point: Their test menus. All of them are exactly the same, they're simple as ever to navigate, and you can use playfield buttons to do it.

Konami>Japanese Sega>Namco>Andamiro>Play-It Amusements Sega>Raw Thrills>Stern>ICE>Bobs Spaceracers>UNS>whoever the fuck is the sad bastard that makes UFO stomper

holy HELL konami cabs are a cream dream. Smooth smooth wood, everything fits like a glove, Everything uses the same attaching screws, you can reach damn near up to the screen from the back panel, awesome components, Japanese sega is a close second, but my SDVX cabs dude, THOSE are nice fucking cabs.

Now if only those good-for-nothings in california would put in an order for vivid wave!

At least there's still nipland and JAEPO

Don't worry, you'll get mobile-tier ticket dispensers instead

which R1 are you near?

Is that Guitar Hero arcade cab with like a quarter second of video delay from them?

Taunton MA

Yeah

Tickets in 2019? Come on user its all about the E-Tickets

I'm not sure if it's much better. It's not as if anyone playing the game does anyting but buttton mash in the first place.

I just noticed it's a stick and one (1) button, so yeah that may actually be even worse

Nope, there's still sega's american arm that makes nothing but trash, Play-It amusement. Then there's ICE, there's baytek who's machines will fail right off the goddamn truck, there's benchmark who's somehow not baytek, then there's triotek who is the absolute WORST, and there's bob's spaceracers who makes big stupid games that get really really hot, but they work 85% of the time.

Then there's adrenaline amusements, who uses decent enough components, borderline chinsy, but they do exclusively mobile adaptations. I have an angry birds, a candy crush and 2 fruit ninjas. They also did a rabbids game, and a tomb raider game which is the same cab with different radar guns, those are surprisingly decent all things considered, but they're still a 5/10
i had to work with tickets up to 2017. Dude, fucking running out of tickets on a saturday night and having to take them out of a loser game, man that was the worst. SO glad i work at a place with card readers now.

The last arcade I was at had like 4 Tekken 5 cabs in the way back behind a sea of the usual nonsense, oh and one MvC1 cab, but it wasn't working. However, I had never really touched 3D fighters before. Now that I've dabbled in Tekken 7, I might actually go back there with my friends some time. If I remembered what location we were at.

I actually got some of the cards from the machine that people had abandoned and EVERY fucking one of them is labeled "inspired by captain marvel".

so you need money and cards for arcade games now? that's not better

How do you go from something that's okay like the TMNT beat em up to making shitty arcade ports of mobile games?

>Punisher and Daredevil made it in to CoC before an MvC game

Attached: 10554520.jpg.png (429x410, 6K)

it's not my location i'll tell you that for sure lmao. It took namco 8 goddamn months to get us our tekken 7s.

My location really got gyped on PCBs. Other locations get cool shit like DBZ and raiden, i get a couple DOA2s, tatsunoko vs capcom, some guilty gear, a final fight, tetris grand master, and a parodus 4
it spits out a card with each play. So rather than do the smart thing by putting all your unlocks on an IC card like an eamuse, a banapass or whatever the hell sega uses, you have this big stack of baseball cards and you get a new one with each credit.

So the entire machine can be hamstringed if too many people play it in a weekend.

I took a young cousin of mine to an arcade like 2 weeks ago. They had iphone games like fucking flappy bird made into arcade games.

TMNT huh? Yeah, raw thrills has something for you! It's a fucking gamecube game.

oh no, that' snot flappy bird, that's "flying tickets". it's a flappy bird knock off.

corporate sent me 2 of them, and they're so cheap, the 2nd one freezes mid-game. I called adrenaline to bitch, and they said "It's normal"

Attached: flyingtickets_unit.png (600x390, 210K)

Still better than CoC and Injustice which prints out more cards than a PirPara cabinet with way less quality.

Can you turn in the cards like tickets for cheap bullshit prizes?

Not for the Injustice and Marvel games but some coin pusher games have cards that you can turn in for tickets

no, but we got coin pushers that do that. And the coins are meaningless. It gives out zero tickets for coins, all the tickets are from what cards you make drop.

You can tell how many happy customers i get to deal with as i explain this, seeing as only old people and hillbillies play coin pushers.

Hell yeah fellow arcade worker!

Hey, at least your arcades get something. I live in the midwest, where a fighting cab is rare as hell, and you're lucky to get a decent shmup. It's all phone games now.

Hell yeah brother.

R1 DnB or mom and pop?

>the midwest
Not midwest enough it seems.

I thought "at least we're getting something" too, but i set up an R1 in nebraska, and they got better stuff than us! Fucking nebraska! I can understand LA chicago or NY, but nebraska?

Corporate only seems to care about puente hills in cali, grapevine in texas, and whatever the hell in new york. Drives me up the wall.

>and whatever the hell in new york
>Putting it in Long Island rather than the city
I want out of Raw Thrill's Wild Ride

Damn. I suppose I do have this in my area, but I haven't ever been to this one yet, and it pales in comparison. At least it's something, and looks like it could be fun to stop by now and then.

Raw Thrills made The Fast And The Furious arcade game was fun as fuck. Everything else they made after that though is indeed shit.

I went to the Round One at Great Lakes Crossing, and they had a row of Tekken 7 machines. Funny thing is, though, they're still the original release that we completely missed out on. It's easy to forget that 7 was only available as a Japanese cabinet for over a year in the modern age. I put my money in and wondered where the fuck Akuma was.
And now I just remembered that Pokken was the same way.

Saying something is like playing a Gamecube game is only appealing to me.

Look buddy, arcades are cucked now. The west is all this rawthrills trash and ticket gambling games and mobileshit cabinets. Even the few based barcades can't keep many old cabs because they can't hire an electrician to keep them operational full time. And the racing/rhythm shit Japan actually produces now is all region-locked registered to specific JP gamecenters because the chinks ruined everything.
Arcades are dead unless you want a soulless mame machine.

Oh, well you might like it then, because it's literally a gamecube game.

eat shit incels, social justince isn't just social justice, it's justice

>Arcade near me has a Jojo machine now
Guess it's time to go back there.

I love how you can immediately spot Raw Thrills garbage by the LED strip borders on plywood

i'll give them this, It's easy to spot a dropped gamecard under their machines.

WHO /groove coaster/ here

It's a Raw Thrills bashing thread.

Ah, my N-Words.

I only go to the arcade for Maximum Tune 5 and Sound Voltex. Time Crisis (any) as well. I really liked Magicians Dead as basic as it was but they must have shut it down or something it always has that Nesica maintenance message up. But Groove Coaster still works.

Hey man, I grew up in an era where arcade hardware was meant to surpass console experiences, not mimic it 10 years after the fact with a cheap dolphin emulator knock-off.

>I only go to the arcade for Maximum Tune 5 and Sound Voltex. Time Crisis (any) as well.
if you go to great lakes mall, i fixed the left screen on time crisis 5 on thursday. Looks great now. HOTD4 is next. Gotta get through the weekend first.

The funny thing is that its the cheapest looking Marvel movie since Iron Man 2. Did they overspend on the marketing and forgot to touch up the actual movie?

Here's a tip, around 4 PM PST to 5 PM PST, they are down for routine maintenance

>Cards

is it a system that records your win/loses or character customization?

Can you play as rocket in this?

Sorry I don’t speak cool

Yeah I know but this all day every day.

Judging by the similarity to the Injustice arcade system, it'll probably give out character cards you can scan in future plays on the cabinet.
The fact that they aren't even worth anything in the mobile game is the cherry on top of this insulting garbage heap.

I see nothing wrong with that. Stopping hating it just because it came from phone games. Flappy Bird actually makes for a really good ticket game since it actually takes some skill to keep going and you can win a lot of tickets if you're really good. It's much better than those light stopper games which are literally rigged.

Hey fuck you Dirty Drivin was the tits

>only light gun arcade cabinet in the arcade is RAW THRILL's Terminator or Aliens cabinet
FUCK, YOU.
