*slowly popularizes arcades in the west again*
This. And D&B is trash anyway.

nice try kiddo
i had a good hamburger there once but otherwise fuck their "arcade"
Wish we had one here
Go to a casino
Its the same thing and you can actually win money.
what were the best cabinets and why was it pic related?
Did anyone ever have a arcade cabinet in their house? I had Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition in my living room, because someone payed my dad off with it for dude lmao
...
>imploding there are anons rich enough to rent an entire Casino for his friends for a day
>muh arcades
Arcades have always been scams to eat your hard earned quarters. The sooner they disappear off the face of the earth, the better.
If any mvc2 cabinets exist i’ll be at your arcade in a second
Insanely overpriced food, and expensive game.....yeah no thanks, Grab 2 pizzas, and 2 red box games, and thats a good night.
my nigga
what the fuck is an arcade
Any local arcades I had around here were long dead before a D&B showed up.
Went to that D&B last year, 70% of it is oversized mobile phone games now.
20% are the same old ticket spewing games like skeeball.
The other 10% are late 90s-00s railshooters and racing games, half of them are usually broken at any given time.
The noise in there is so fucking loud it causes hearing loss and severe headaches.
>imploding there are anons rich enough to rent an entire dave and busters for his friends for a day
oh boy i love ticket redemption "games" and mobile games
>The noise in there is so fucking loud it causes hearing loss and severe headaches
fucking this
>my local D&B recently got a Hot D4 machine
Feels good man
my local GameWorks shut down so idk if that's true user
We're getting one next year. It's going to be the hypest shit
the photo booths are the real attraction here desu
How does one popularize arcades by devoting most of the space to an """esports""" lounge and filling the arcade with oversized mobile games that plague Dave & Busters?
Had one of these right across from the movie theater, it was a pretty great place.
Of course, all of the fighting game cabinets were swarmed by blacks and asians while the rest of the place was mostly empty.
>All the arcades in my city are hipster bars filled with dudebros
>All the cabinets are open save the sports and lighgun games
I wouldn't mind it, BUT THEY'RE ALWAYS FUCKING PACKED
no
this is the right answer
also, my arcade closed in 2006, it was in a mall and i can ASSUME that 99% of mall arcades are fucking gone at this point in the US.
i hate it really
i grew up in arcades, you didn't cry like a lil bitch when you lost, you fucking took your loss and moved on. nowadays everything online is bullshit, fucking ragequitter pussies.
wait dave and busters can have different sets of games? my local one in phoenix and one i went to in san diego both had the exact same games
>i can ASSUME that 99% of mall arcades are fucking gone at this point in the US.
Sadly, ours had to close because it kept getting robbed.
I went to an arcade in China. It was the dopest shit. Apparently they're in every mall there, had plenty of claw machines for losing money fast, some knockoff games to play, and an indoor archery range because why the fuck not
Barcades are actually bringing back the arcades. There are two that I go to during my offdays and play skeeball and Time Crisis before the normies show up with their friends.
Whenever I go to an arcade I have to wipe down the machines with these.
>consoles killed arcades, the only place where technological advancements were made
>consoles hold back PC because they make more money
>consoles are the reason why Sony and Microsoft are in the game industry
>consoles are the reason why DLC exists
>consoles are the reason why paid online exists
Have consoles done anything good?
So you work there for free.
No it's before I play any of the games, I dont' want to touch the controls. Poor people might have been there before.
>always hated arcades because they're obviously designed to nickel and dime you
>there's an arcade two hours away from me in Nashville that lets you pay 10 bucks, and stay for as long as you want
I really need to check that place out one day. I also think that a cover charge would be the way to popularize arcades again. I could see myself paying up to 25 bucks to have an all day pass. Maybe 2 or $300 for an all year thing.
>He works for free
>not having a Round 1 near you
I am going next Friday for a gay corporate party
at least I get most of the arcades for free with the corporate card that you get. the only game i want to play is the star wars sphere, resident evil 3 and mario kart arcade
they have no fighting games
so You touch those games with your bare hands after who know what touched them before?
I bet you don't even use a paper towel to open up a bathroom door when you leave?
Last time I went to D&B I drank and played racing games. I mean most of the shit in their was garbage but I was pretty happy with the fun I had.
consoles kept gaming alive even with all the bad shit. monkey paw as fuck
Yeah, except for the fact that everything at casinos is luck based. Except for counting cards, but they kick you out for that shit.
>implying this isn't the best arcade game
Also good luck playing this on your "consoles" Sup Forums

at the corporate event next friday i am playing this and getting right next to the holes and just dumping the balls in to get all the tickets. I am going to see if I can get a wii u that they have a s a price. i talked to the other people in my company that are going and they will give me their tickets at the end of the day!!!
>hipsters
>dudebros
Pick one or the other, my man.
My arcade closed years before Dave & Busters showed up. I wish I had saved one of the bricks for my game room.
jesus christ
please tell me you told your co-workers you trying to win it for your kids or some shit.
I am from Raleigh and they have the Boxcar Bar + Arcade. bunch of sjw faggots and devs from Epic and Redstorm sometimes go there. The arcade games suck and it is just a huge circle jerk. all these retards do is talk politics. I talked with the lead qa guy of redstorm and he told me the reason there are black people in that medieval vr game they did is because he forced it. he told me "the game is so white, it is 2017 does not matter if it is in medieval europe"
I am not gonna lie I almost took my bottle and broke it and sliced his fucking neck
Whats Better D&B or Round 1?
I haven't seen an arcade in 20 years. D&B is hardly responsible for them vanishing.
>corporate event
Do you mean your weekly date you and your mama go on to get your out of the house?
R1 has more variety especially with japanese games, D&B if you want mainly NA games and SPORTS (stay away from the restrooms).
No you faggot. I wipe down the controls of the games I'm gonna play and Yes I wash my hands before and after I use the restroom and I use paper towels to touch surfaces in the bathroom after I've washed my hands.
also, when I was young and I was living outside America mainland I used to go to this mall with my paretns after school and the mall had a Time Out arcade. Shit was amazing, I would pass House of the Dead 2 with one dollar and they also had Crisis Zone. Come to think about it they did not have any fighting games. Another mall I would go had capcom vs snk 1 and there was this chinese kid whose mom would work at the nail salon. He would RAPE ANYONE who put a quarter to play with him. So one time he was playing Marvel vs Capcom 2 and I put the quarter in and played cable. I HYPER BEAM the shit out of his 3 character and he left the arcade!!! fucking little bitch
Do Microsoft's PC games not count?
>SPORTS
I despise any kind of sports.
why don't you just wear gloves?
that's right my dude... no you fag, we get free drink s and they put us on the big rooms and get shit food.
this is so fucking cute
Because I love to clean the arcade
Consoles did nothing to arcades. Arcades faded from relevance as they ceased to be a better experience than a weaker home version of the same games. Once you got to the 5-6th generations of consoles, Arcade cabinets had no exclusive advantages, the home version was identical to the arcade version.
Fighting Games ceased to be the major draw, which is why most arcades in the mid 2000s ended up with a majority of railshooters, racing games and dance dance cabinets since those kinds of games maintained an advantage through unique peripherals for an ideal control experience.
Arcades died when they lost their tech advantage. It's no fault other than their own. They should have tried some online connectivity measures. Imagine crossplay between a cabinet and players at home.
Oh, if you thought you despised those, I suggest you see their restrooms. They are one of the worst restrooms you will ever see in your life. I'm not joking.
Nearest one is like 4 hours away.
Gonna drive down there in the summer with friends.
that affects my enjoyment.
This guy's gonna some super bacteria for using so much antibacterial shit
Why? This is pretty common sense. It's one of the reasons I have only had 1 cold in 2 and half years.

Funny you should mention that because I'm also this Poster here.
>gay corporate party
Fucking gay mafia and their corporate parties
wouldn't work in fucking 2005~
are you insane?
you must not remember that most people STILL didn't have cable at that point. no joke either, i knew people who didn't have cable because the companies couldn't get to their areas or were too slow to get around to it.

>He cleans the arcade at Dave and Buster's for free
>He opens the bathroom door with paper towels
>He cleans the employees cocks with his tongue
>He does all of this for free
Barcades are the big thing now. There's one by me called Player 1 and you pay $5 cover and get to play as many games as you want. They actually have a lot of old arcade cabinets and current games set up by the bar like Smash and Mario Kart 8
Nah son, San Antoniofags like me still have this gem of an arcade.
Where does he carry the tube of bleach wipes?
I have a feeling you're trolling and that didn't happen.
In my neck, attached to a necklace obviously.
It doesn't work that way. I just do this in mensrooms and thinks that other people touch.
>guns with blowback slides still work
Time Crisis II is fucking masterpiece of an arcade shooter but when the original guns with working slides are still there it makes it so much more fun.
>No round one or a good arcade in sacramento
Fucking why
>He cleans the arcade at Dave and Buster's for free
No I clean the game I'm going to play and only the controls I will touch.
>He opens the bathroom door with paper towels
Doesn't everyone? There are more gastrointesinal germs and bacteria on the handle of a mens room door than on any other surface. en.wikipedia.org
>He cleans the employees cocks with his tongue
No I don't.
>He does all of this for free
For my own health and well being.
>tfw my D&B not only has a DDR machine but actually gives a shit about maintaining it due to having a large local playerbase
That looks seedy and great. Strip mall with dive bars and a taco bell?
I have a few in a ziplock bag I take with me everyday. Sometimes I need an emergency rag to open things with.
No a ziplock back I only need a bout 5 or so per day worst case.
>Tfw my college has a 3rd Strike cabinet, mvc2 cabinet, two sf4 arcade edition cabinets and a Metal Slug cabinet
>Nobody I know likes fighting games or metal slug to play with me
Do you guys remember that game in D&B and maybe other premium arcades in the late 1990s or so. It was a rail shooter space sim and you could play with about 10 other people and sometimes they have a huge walk in game arcade thing?
It's on San Pedro Ave., so yeah pretty much, North Star Mall is down the street from it, probably the best mall in South-Central Texas
the back and forth was just cute my man
Besides Barcade and D&B I haven't seen an arcade in forever. Even the one back in my hometown shut down. There's nothing wrong with D&B you contrarian loser.
Besides, I like having a bar there (overpriced or not).
I'm not gay okay. I just wipe my ass right after so I don't get germs
Just looked it up. Games, Tattoos, Tacos and a dive bar right next to each other. Will definitely visit when I'm next there. Also based whataburger.
Once again this is not me.
and I don't understand whats "cute"?
>tfw my local D&B got rid of daytona usa in favor of some other arcade racing game thats not even half as fun or fun at all
seriously its just press gas and hit the nitro a few times
