"French New Wave action video game fan art" is one reason why gaming will never be considered worthy of serious discussion by anyone worth a drat. I hate the word "pretentious" because its usually said by idiots about something not at all pretentious but holy gently caress almighty that might have to be the worst term ever ejaculated and I now support Jack Thompson.

Night Mind on Black Mirror, gets blocked by BS copyright, but at the very least it is available on vimeo for the moment. I enjoyed what he said about Black Mirror and would like to give it a watch. Biggest black mark would have to be the twitter parallel, sorry but I don't see how I am having a moral failing by NOT engaging with abusive nazi motherfuckers. There ain't any conversation to be had there when frankly there is no conversation to be had in the first place. Everything else I did enjoy and didn't seem to be some pretentious luddites piece of "technology is bad we should go the way of the amish." Well, multiple stories I did find enough appeal to want to watch with only one that is so blatantly ignorant of the situation it did not seem like it was made by the same writers, that rounds down to a almost good score. https://vimeo.com/197363601 Yeah it seems like there's always one goof from the people I enjoy. Noah Cadwell excusing the bullshit "muh multiple timelines the black woman killing yo kids does not have any bad implications" being the other "why, just why would you say that" moment. Annointed fucked around with this message at 09:30 on Dec 29, 2016 |

I am disappointed with Nick regarding the twitter side story of a Black Mirror episode. I like what I saw and shall watch Black Mirror sometime in the future. Nick is the second person that I like who said a really ignorant thing, Noah Caldwell being the first regarding Bioshock Infinite.

Dylan Cuthbert has been asked about the chances of StarFox 2 coming out and he said he is on board, but it is down to legal bullshit as to why it has not been released onto the Virtual Console. Argonaut no longer exists and as with any dead company, getting the rights to that poo poo is a legal nightmare. Also the stuff around StarFox Adventures is equally BS for a multitude of reasons. So yeah, that video is crap. Disappointing, as Larry usually seems to do some pretty good research.

Do not even ask posted:Pretty sure that Miyamoto quote about DKC is a fabricated rumor as well. According to his interview with IGN in 2010, it is. Specifically: IGN: I was interviewing them earlier, and even though you weren't directly involved you were definitely very inspirational in making sure certain things were done in that game correctly. I'm wondering, which parts of Donkey Kong Country did you like versus not like? And what did you address with them? Miyamoto: The first point that I want to make is that I actually worked very closely with Rare on the original Donkey Kong Country. And apparently recently some rumor got out that I didn't really like that game? I just want to clarify that that's not the case, because I was very involved in that. And even emailing almost daily with Tim Stamper right up until the end. full interview - http://www.ign.com/articles/2010/06/17/e3-2010-shigeru-miyamoto-likes-donkey-kong-country-after-all?page=3

While we're on the subject of phony Nintendo rumors, it's total BS that they didn't bring over the Japanese SMB2 because they thought Americans couldn't handle it. That may have been part of it, but it probably had more to do with SMB2 being a sub-par product that didn't really add anything to the series, combined with Doki Doki Panic being a better game but used Japanese mascots as characters.

Yeah I don't get why people are so hung up on Mario the lost levels. They're just challenge runs but I'd hardly call any of them memorable to the franchise. They're more difficult than fun, but then there is the weird but alarmingly big subset of Mario fans who are sadomasochistic nuts who enjoy playing and designing punishingly hard levels. Mario maker is pretty much a torture device

Playstation 4 posted:Kaizo was a mistake. Not emptyquoting this because no joke this is so true. Kaizo is not fun it's just tedious pain distilled in multiple game levels. There is no skill to be had here, only repetitive tedium to constantly perform pixel perfect jumps and memorizing the layout of the maps to scrounge up some form of victory. Kaizo is a lesson of what not to do when designing difficult platformers, or platformers in general.

Man, I'm a lot kinder to Croc than most (I still think it's a shame what happened to 2's rushed release), but that game is definitely not a lost classic and thinking the dudes behind that got their fame stolen by Shiggy is just buying into a sore loser's hype. The only sources I could find for this whole thing came from... one ex-Argonaut dude! Talking up his own code. Hmm. I wonder.

Nah, realtalk: Croc 2 was a good game from a crumbling company that is clearly unfinished and deserved better. If you ever want to revisit those games, only play that one, because it fixed the terrible controls of Croc 1 and tried being its own thing on a shoestring budget. Platforming on tank controls is kind of a nightmare, and that's what damns Croc. Especially under loving water.

Cubey posted:It was not brought over because of an American guy playing the game and literally saying 'this is too hard', so uh A bit from column A, a bit from column B. By the time the NES was getting released, the FDS was starting to get swamped with really bad titles so they were a bit queasy on having a sequel that was just an expansion pack with more dickish levels. Also it was a way for the Doki Doki Panic to be around once the event was over since nowadays the only way to play that is thru emulation or hunting down the remaining disks. Plus, SMB USA is far more enjoyable than DDP just from not having to play the game 4 times to finish it.

Another big part IIRC was the graphics. By the time The Lost Levels would've made it to Western shores a lot of games with nicer graphics had come out. I believe this is also why Final Fantasy 2 and 3 were originally skipped and we jumped to 4 on SNES.

I guess it got warped into Amiya too hating DKC at some point That's probably what happened. The famous quote that gets paired with the story is either completely made up or from some obscure issue of Electronic Games magazine from '95, based on a Google search I did earlier. I couldn't find any solid on it though.
