Pre-ordered the 8BitDo 64 controller. I played the PC "port" of Perfect Dark briefly, finding that the mouse and keyboard made it much too easy. Because of how slowly the enemies take aim, for example getting down on one knee like they're posing for a photo. Wish that controller had the buttons colored like the N64 controller. The Retro Fighters N64 controller has the correct colors, but the 8BitDo is just flat black or white to match their other controllers. Bland. But the 8BitDo will have Hall Effect sticks that the Retro Fighters apparently doesn't. When I was a kid, I beat all the GoldenEye levels except I think Egyptian (the last bonus level) on 00 Agent. Good game, but not really Bond. A pure shooter.

I don't care much for CoD, but I am unreasonably upset the new one is named Black Ops 6 and not Black Ops ||||||

Why would it be named that?

 

[Worgen]

Why would it be named that?

Why wouldn't it be named that? That name would be so much better then the number 6.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

Why would it be named that?

The previous games were named Black Ops, Black Ops II, Black Ops III, Black Ops 4 and Black Ops Cold War. So at least there's a trend to be continued.

(Though I wonder how many CodBlops players can count to six....)

 

[Chimpzy]

Why would it be named that?

Until Cold War the logo had a trend of adding an extra Roman numeral I for every game, even for 4

Black Ops 4 logo

Would've been funnier if they just kept adding more I's

Amusing as it sounds, I doubt they would have done that. They would've stuck with the roman numeral V and add I.

That would just show how boring they are.

 

[BrawlMan]

Agreed. COD is boring, and only further proves my point.

Well because 6 vertical lines isn't anything in any common numbering system, even a tally would have one diagonal for 5.

Oh, I see now!

 

[Worgen]

Yeah, you just toss 2 extra lines on the sides of that, it would look fine.

NoChillTV is right with his point. I got it time stamped. The people hating on remakes, because they love their precious originals so much is ridiculous. Especially when a majority of said remakes are of great quality. The people who hate on these remakes or people who enjoy them, are full of shit, and act as if they're forced to play them. When said whiners more than likely have the means to play the original versions on console, GOG, or emulation. NoChill does call out the bad remakes or lazy remasters such as GTA Trilogy and TLOUS Pt.1. So it's not like he's blindly praising remake that comes out. He also makes good point Bloober stating they're not sticking to only remakes (so they don't become a one trick pony), and making all new original title. Similar to Capcom, they're doing the same thing as well. They remake one title, then make a new entry to a franchise, or a new IP in general and rotate between them. They have multiple teams, so that is how Capcom gets it done. I assume Bloober is going to with splitting people into different teams.

Dino Crisis 1 is the Capcom's version Myst. I can see where Max is coming from, as the puzzles in this game are confusing and obscure as fuck. He's not the first person to say this, as HVGN/Stop Skeletons From Fighting said 8 years ago with his Dino Crisis retrospective. People are in love with the idea more with Dino Crisis, than the original game itself. I prefer DC2 over DC1 anyway, because they get rid of the bullshit puzzles and becomes a Mercenaries campaign predating how RE4 did it. Before anyone starts, RE3: Nemesis did Mercenaries first, but it plays completely differently than how RE4(R)-RE6 and Dino Crisis 2 did it. I stamped it, since this a 7 hour stream. I got SSFF's point time stamped too about the puzzles.

It takes away their self-perceived specialness, and their ability to tell others "you'll never know, you weren't there like I was".

Yes. It's that sense of self-proclaimed entitlement and elitism I can't stand. Which people like Yahtzee have been doing, so ain't he sliding out of that one either and is just as responsible with his known echo chamber. Hating on and looking down upon, because the person didn't happen to be born in the same era/decade as the people who played these games were kids, teens, or early 20s somethings. Fuck all of them for this attitude.

I don't even want a new Dino Crisis anymore. I know that it would be as scripted and linear as Resident Evil 6, 7 and 8, and probably in first person view too, to reduce costs. The tired over the shoulder perspective wouldn't excite me either. They would need to put in so many dinosaurs for that overpowering perspective that it wouldn't even be survival horror anymore. Oh, and Regina would just wear the safe jeans and tank top.

Shows how little you know, and you don't even know what the fuck you want. FTR, The original RE3 wasn't as randomized with Nemesis as much as you or most people thought. Most of his encounters are scripted, but they're scripted events are just randomized at certain segments. Also, RE2R and RE4R don't have that many scripted events. RE3R Does have a few more, but it's not the exaction haters make it out to be. Cap knows what they're doing, you're just never happy and it's never enough. You want camera angles that badly? Go to indie. You are not hurting for options. You just don't wanna look. Hop to it.

Of course the RE2 and RE4 remakes don't have that many scripted events. The basis for everything was already in the original versions, the design already proven by sales, meaning less risk for the publisher. When they have to take more risks in original games, the design becomes more linear and scripted, with more hand-holding. Shows you never pay attention to the arguments.

I do pay attention to your arguments. I just stopped giving a fuck over your petty and dumb reasons A long time ago. By the way you have your camera angles, so take them or leave them. Yes, so you don't have options with that mountains of games I provided to you. If you don't like those then that's a you problem. We are done here and deal with it.

Games don't expire, you can always play it yourself.
