anyone have any tips for this part?

problem i'm running into is that if you stand on the floating platform for too long it falls, and you lose a life. i've tried IMMEDIATELY jumping on to the column but getting the timing down is impossible for any normal human.

This game somehow got installed on my old PC back in the day. I suspect some kind of prank.

Weren't there tons of issues, though? Like wasn't the Goldeneye HD version that came to XBOX specifically different in its core gameplay because Nintendo refused to let Rare use the same engine?

that's not what happened. The gamers.txt thread had devolved into nothing but passive-aggressive tumbltards posting completely reasonable things that white men said and getting angry about it. I was the hero gamers.txt deserved.

Dude you posted that giant rant that game dev's bitter ex posted on the forums after the mods deleted the thread and insisted everyone take notice and discuss this very serious issue of abuse and corruption. You're the worst.

Excels posted:

i don't know where he posted prior to his arrival in the gamers.txt thread, but he provoked people into arguing about social justice and feminism instead of "funny poo poo gamers say" and derailed every consecutive thread until the mods just deep-six'd it. although to be fair, he was laying really dumb, easy bait and getting a ton of bites. if people had just ignored him, things might have been different

As usual with these sorts of threads, once he got the ball rolling, people crawled out of their FYAD holes to join in on the bad posting, making it really difficult to ignore.

Wow, that's actually going to start being a Thing in video games now, isn't it?

Particularly in series with voice actors who do TV voice work or in series that employ celebrities, casting is going to determine whether they can bring characters back sometimes. Obviously not like Charles Martinet, which is sort of a Mel Blanc situation, and anyway, he'll do it forever and he has a lot of life left in him.

It happened in Assassin's Creed when they couldn't get Lab Lady Who's Suddenly Tanktop and Lipstick Lady's voice actress back.

My biggest concern is that Retro City Rampage will rely on me finding 8-bit graphics and references super wacky; is the actual gameplay good?

Yes. It's really fun and has a lot of varied mini games and powerups to change up the basics of the top down GTA-like.

and if you think Hollywood movies are bad you should read the Greek Classics or watch Samurai films.

7 Samurai is a great example of a war movie that makes war look incredibly lovely and doesn't make the "heroes" look that heroic, despite having totally lovely villains you have no sympathy for.

There are a few reasons but they all basically boil down to "most of the people making Hollywood films were raised and educated in the US".
