Sorry, Nintendo would give Link a girly screeching voice whenever he slashes with the sword. They did it for the "A Link To The Past" GBA port. The Super Mario 2 port got a similar treatment.
I hate how Nintendo wants all their characters to be girly whiners with really annoying voices, screaming your ears off every time you do anything. (I collected a coin, YAHOOOOOO!!!!!)
This just ruins the whole game for me, there's no way I can play the GBA port of A Link To The Past now.
This is why I always set my expectations to "low" for almost all games. That way, I don't get disappointed and can enjoy a game for what it is as opposed to getting disappointed by what it isn't.
Okay, replace the word "mild" with "heavy"... I forgot about the tiny map sizes. I agree it was dumbed down because of the damn Xbox, and the unified ammo and that stuff was annoyign at first, but still I enjoyed playing it and thought it was a good game. Not AWESOMELY GREAT, but enjoyable. If anything, it was just overhyped.
Am I the only one who finds the "new" robot-girl model to be distasteful and cheap? I'm not saying I don't like breasts, but they had to add those huge supermodel balloons onto her. Not only that, they also made her face "pretty". It just completely takes away the "scaryness" of that thing. There weren't even any breasts on the old model at all, so why did they have to change it? The reason the old model was scary was because it was ugly and horrible. Instead they made her a supermodel with metal legs... Oh well, I guess nothing is perfect.
Do you mean a wrench? As far as I remember there was no crowbar in System Shock 2. There was a wrench, a lightsaber and a crystal shard, but no crowbar...
I can't see why people hate Deus Ex 2 so much. Sure, it wasn't an exact copy of Deus Ex 1, but it was still a good game despite the fact that it was suffering from mild console syndrome. Oh well.
They were mostly (or completely) identical in early game, but I seem to remember there being quite a few differences once you got to the good high-tech stuff.
Anyway, I disagree that it is the ultimate strategy game. It never struck me as a strategy game, it felt a bit more like a super crazy mass-producing-unit slugfest until one player's nuke gets through into the other player's base. In my opinion, Starcraft is a better game.
Heh, sorry if I came off as a bastard but I just find this stuff annoying. Like "all your base are belong to us" and "badger badger badger", it was once funny and clever but is now simply lame and stupid. That and everyone and their grandma is making their own crappy version of it.
1. Make a flash animation with a still picture while playing calm quiet music
2. make it wait for 30 seconds, then make a 'scary' face appear while playing a very loud "rrrraaaaarrrrrr!!!!!!!!" sound
3. post it on the internet!
Wow, that is so old! I can't believe people are still posting links to those crappy "shock" flash "animations". I can see one of these from lightyears away, this one I didn't even have to click the link.
I agree. I couldn't stand watching it. I stopped watching after about 2/3rds of the film, because I just couldn't stand it. Watching the movie was physically and mentally painful. The only reason I watched that long is that I thought any moment, the two murderous main characters were going to die a horrible, horrible, slow painful death.

Hah, yeah right. I'll just download a crack and play away while the legit customers get all the "login to Steam" trouble.
Don't worry, it'll be "released early" for us pirates. Join us, or suffer! Yarr!
Yay! Yet another crappy flash page that wants to open a new window and go full-screen. No thanks, I guess I won't be viewing that website.

Of course, I don't have a GBA...

I want to see a reenactment of the great space battle of 1978. I think it was called "Space Invaders".
I agree, nice essay. :)
I can mod about 15 percent of the posts in here.
Not anymore, you can't!

Do this. No one will ever want to steal something like that!

Check it out!
Didn't you mean Litigious bastards?
Someone already thought of that Don't know about rocket launcers though. Maybe you really want a tank?
Am I the only one who thought this was about how to "cure" people from being at the computer all day long?
I'm not going to argue over the meaning of the word "proper", but according to this, I guess both are correct.
Sorry for going off-topic like that.
Do you mean
Cactuses
?
