It's pretty nuts that the old executable from the ancient version still works just fine, but their new fangled attempt is such a mess. I wish they'd never even tried to reforge it, just should've added the to the Blizzard launcher.

Wonder if there's a Burbenog TD going on right now.

edit: Oh nevermind. The launcher for the old games tries to make you update some poo poo. Theyre retroactively making the original worse, lol

This is the best part about this whole thing.

You might be like, "This seems like hyperbole." at the rage against the game. Like look at dis: https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/warcraft-iii-reforged

That's a point five. Not a five but like, a point...five.

Then you find out just trying to stick with the pure, original version isn't an easy option any more.

You remember in the first few titles when you dug a hole you were just like, adding a "hole texture" by digging and not actually geometrically creating a hole?

And nobody really cared. Nobody except like, nerds maybe.

Was anybody actually expecting realistic digging physics in an N64 game?

I can vaguely, VAGUELY remember people who were already mad at the game (because it was baby game I guess?) trying to use the quality of the graphics as a talking point back when it came out on the GCN in the States. And that was like, part of the graphics talk. That and other stuff like how it wasn't "Really 3D" because it was a top-down perspective. There was no controllable Z-axis.

Where were the mature games with the good graphics and axises'ses?!

The original concept of Last of Us seemed like it was gonna be pretty sexist:

quote:

The result was a pitch for a problematic title called Mankind. Just like in The Last of Us, the game was set in a world where Cordyceps has leaped from insects to humans, turning the infected into dangerous monsters and bringing down civilization with them. The key difference was that in Mankind, the virus only affected women. An early version of Ellie was the only female who was immune, and Joel decided to protect her in order to bring her to a lab where a cure could potentially be created. But they weren't able to sell the idea, especially after several female Naughty Dog employees voiced their concerns. "The reason it failed is because it was a misogynistic idea," says Druckmann.

(Also some people swear original concepts for the bloated infected reached fetish-levels of growth in this concept of the story but I haven't found any proof of that part.)

For what it's worth at least we have tangible evidence the games under Peter and Todd exist. You can still go back and see or play them, even if you think they're awful.

But there's like nothing left of Lawbreakers but whatever media you can find. All stores have the game wiped from ever even existing on their fronts. Can we even prove the game ever existed?!

The Mega Play version of Sonic 1 is pretty good. Mega Play was basically Sega's sort-of-equivalent of Nintendo's PlayChoice-10, featuring Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games that were modified for arcades. In Sonic 1's case, the game removes several stages (all of Marble Zone, all of Labyrinth Zone, and the third Scrap Brain Zone), the special stages, you can't get one-ups, and the timer counts down to zero, with each stage having different time limits. It makes for a pretty good arcade-y experience since it trims a lot of the slow-paced stage, and I find it to be a lot better than the console Sonic 1 as a result. It's on the Switch Sega Ages release of Sonic 1 as an extra.

So it's like the evil version of Sonic 1 Easy Mode?

Dang, Geoff (or whoever runs the site itself) didn't waste any time in stripping his Game Critics Awards site of everything even slightly related to E3.

http://www.gamecriticsawards.com/

That's like twenty years give or take of E3's just gone. It was nice seeing it kept up throughout the past decades.

Especially during the mid-2000's when they actually had little blurbs from the journalists on why a game won one of their awards. I always liked going back and seeing everyone declare Spore best game of all time three years before it actually came out.

Maybe? I just know he was always a part of it. Part of the Judge's Week, part of E3 in general since those days. Honestly always expected E3 to formally die out before he would cut himself from the event first.

Only if you think award shows are good.

Everyone learned that award shows were a sham back in 2005/2006 when RE4 wasn't nominated for anything because Capcom didn't actually belong to the AIAS at that time. Like they didn't care to pay the dues or something.

https://twitter.com/house_house_/status/1228216844185563137

Also I totally forgot there was a three year chunk where each of the three "B's" won GOTY here. And it's even worse in retrospect when you read about how Inquisition winning just made things for Bioware worse in the long run because the awards were just a reinforcement of sorts that the Bioware Magic could always come through in the end.

Is flossing already out of style for The Kids? Like they were all doing it two years ago but that's like forever ago in internet/current age time.

It's like how Mineccraft is already considered retro at this point by some of the youngest of adults. Like if you got into the game into the game in grade school in the year(s) it came out you're like, either about to finish high school, finished it, or even maybe you've gotten a college degree by this point.

I feel like I've been reading "yep they're dead for good" for a couple years now and I'm still able to walk into mine and nothing is really wrong there so :shrug:

Having new hardware to sell would probably help them sustain themselves a little bit longer at least.

So if either of those new boxes get delayed to early next year that would probably be very bad for the Stop.

At this point the ESA could just cancel the E3 Expo itself this June instead of having whatever they're trying to do that got Geoff to drop them blow up in their faces.

Especially since their plans seem to revolve around "Gamers and Influencers from around the world congregate HERE at our expo!!" so it seems like they want to be...a worse version of PAX and Gamescom.
