I'm biased against Bioware because my most middlebrow friend, a guy who takes TED talks seriously and reads sci fi novels and no real books, eats that poo poo up and loves all Bioware stuff. I don't think he ever has good taste in anything.

See, I don't think that's the case. Popular things can be bad and/or lackluster. Popularity isn't the same thing as quality, and vice versa. I mean "overrated" isn't a particularly useful word anyway because it can mean a wide range of things, including: - "This thing that I otherwise liked ended up disappointing me because it didn't meet the expectations I had built up by reading other people's opinions." - "I didn't like this thing that it seems most people like." (basically the meaning you're ascribing it) - "This thing is good and didn't disappoint me but I think the praise it receives is hyperbolic." And probably a few other things, too.

Ok, I get that this is a 270 page thread and not everyone will read all of it. But the post the guy quoted JUST got itself laughed into oblivion, guys. I miss having manuals to read, but I dont miss needing to read the manual.

Same, but these days they really aren't necessary since games will mostly tutorial your head off in game. What I do appreciate is a good art book or similar. A good example is The Signal From Tolva. It came with a 50 page book containing no info on the gameplay and just interesting lore and fluff.

more games should be like goldeneye 007 and have cheat codes you can only unlock via ridiculous speedruns like you couldnt get invincibility unless that doctor guy spawned in the right 1 of 3 rooms, and you basically had no idea if he was there or not until like the end of the run

get that OUT of my face posted:donkey kong country 3 is underrated. it does some things much better than the two games that came before it, and a lot of the one-off level gimmicks are done well. it gets poo poo on for the end of the game being hard as gently caress, and that's fair, but it's good overall I agree but you can't deny that kiddy kong sucks and that's probably why it doesn't get as much love as the others.

Speaking as someone who only owned DKC3 and just rented the other two, DKC3 gets so much hate due to Kiddy Kong looking like a toddler and the level design not being up to snuff. Still a good game though, hardly the "DMC2 of the series".

If DKC3 had used Funky Kong instead of Kiddie Kong people would put it in a pedestal right next to 2.

It's the reason why there's more levels involving water, he can do bounces if you roll onto the top of water and hit, I think, jump right as you hit the surface.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVM3pEMubUU Like, when I look at any random position in this video, my skin crawls. It just looks so janky, I hate the way you don't just move your crosshair but move your gun in that weird reticle, I hate the cheap sound effect for when you pick up a gun or ammo, aiming at enemies looks like such a pain. I guess it looks impressive for the N64 but uugh gently caress playing that

It's not the way it looks, it's the way it feels. The N64 was not meant to have an FPS on it with those lovely buttons. And I hated that game when I first played it when it came out. I just couldn't stand it, same with Goldeneye and pretty much all Rare games I ever played. Shibawanko fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Aug 27, 2018 |
