I'm 17, without a steady job to pay for it. My family is too poor for one otherwise.

I was talking about the GAF gold and the fact that the Sam Jackson face is the Avatar for a hardass mod on GAF and that this is intended for hardcore GAF people and that I wouldn't find it funny otherwise.

It's a NeoGAF thing. It takes a lot of backstory to get the full humor of the GIF.

If I got a Vita my pockets would hate me. I would have a dumbphone for texting and calling, an iPod Touch for my multimedia and WiFI browsing, a 3DS for gaming, and a Vita for other gaming and 3G browsing. Jeez. Maybe I should just get an iPhone and cut down those devices down to around two.


Can't you disable autocorrect? I know you can on iOS, at least.

I don't have a smartphone so this would be useful as I could just go month to month using it when I wouldn't have access to the internet. I want to be able to do internet where ever I go.

I believe this delightful post will tell you everything you need to know about Tendoboy.

I wouldn't be surprised if since HD development is more complicated any of their previous systems, any game that Nintendo can't guarantee will be out within the launch window they don't want to risk showing. Actually I wouldn't be surprised if because of new more complex HD development Nintendo fears that some of their delays will end up much longer then delays for Wii and 3DS were so if they were to show games they can't guarantee will be ready for early 2013 now, they could end up being delayed until late 2014 which would give them another Twilight Princess PR situation which I'm sure they never want again.

The only "difficulty" of developing for an HD resolution is making all the textures sharper. That's all HD is, a resolution. I could play an N64 game in HD, and it would still be an HD game.

I didn't call him on it at the time since the thread had moved on from it without breaking a step and I didn't want to break the flow. Second, I was too busy trying to breathe through my hands as I face palmed myself into unconsciousness only to have gravity save my life. His statement is so wrong on so many levels, there is no limit as to the depth as to how one could explain how wrong he is. His ignorance is superhuman. It is his superpower and I weep.

And I love how he ignores you and continues on.

Insulting? I want a price drop. Bundled with a memory card. And a free game. With a month's free of 3G. That's the only way I will ever buy one.

That Clerk isn't a typical gamer. She's a casual gamer who managed to get a minimum wage job at a retail store. After saying that she loved Just Dance on her Wii, you honestly expected her to know ANYTHING about video games?

I played both Quake and Goldeneye just four months ago,

There is a difference between playing these games four months ago and playing them 15 years ago when they were revolutionary and mind blowing.

You mean 15 years ago when you were much younger and now that when you look back, you are blinded by nostalgia?

Not talking about that either. The gameplay is boring, the multiplayer levels were bland, and even for the time, the framerate was ****.

Well, I have to disagree with this statement. I spent hours upon hours playing the game in both the single and multiplayer modes, and I wouldn't have done so if it weren't fun, interesting, and engaging. Goldeneye was not a simple run and gun shooter like many FPSes today. The ability to sneak up on enemies and strategically eliminate them added a ton of depth to the game, and I wish more FPSes would utilize the same mechanic today. As for the multiplayer levels, there were one or two that were bland, sure, but the majority of them kept me and my friends playing this game until only a couple years ago.

It certainly could have used a better frame rate, but other than that, I have to think it is one of the most polished games on the N64. They went the extra mile in many areas including multiple enemy reactions to where they were hit (something I am not sure all FPSes even do today), as well as including excellent soundtracks and level designs that really use the 007 license to its full extent.

How old were you when you played the game?

Quake and Goldeneye really shouldn't be compared with each other. One's an arcadey twitch shooter, while the other is Goldeneye. Go and play the original Deus Ex and tell us you also hate that game. I know I definitely couldn't get into it after playing it two years ago, and it's the same reason you can't play Goldeneye.

No one's bloody patient enough to figure **** out for themselves these days. End! We've all been babied through incredibly pretty-yet incredibly non-interactive FPS games for the past decade and it's sent the genre way back. But that's my opinion, and obviously sales for those select few explosive set piece-driven shooters are through the roof, but whether or not they're successful due to ease of play or merely the appealing action sequences is anyone's guess.

The original A Boy and his Blob is totally a **** game compared to Super Mario bros.!!! Accessibility, right? Trying to make a game as appealing to on-lookers at a first glance as possible. Quake is incredibly easy to pick up and get in to, where Goldeneye needed those two old words no one uses anymore, learning curve.

Nintendo has mentioned many 'o times recently--as recently as a week ago when referring to the WiiU Zelda in fact--that they're trying to make their games as accessible as possible. No learning curves!!! Great for you, someone who grew up in such a time, but for the rest of us? It sends shivers down our spines, as we find sticking with complex games with layers of depth rewarding when digging deeper. Most people are just happy with runnin' and gunnin' though, yay. -___-

WALL OF TEXT OVER.
tl;dr Back in my day, etc...

I was always under the impression that Quake/Doom was the shooter with the steep learning curve, not the other way around.

Amon still has his face though. You can very clearly see his eyes many times in The Legend of Korra. Koh is known to take the entire face. Eyes, nose, mouth, and all. Plus, before the age of bending the elements, it was the norm to do what Aang did during the series finale. I don't think it's just spirits and the Avatar that can do it. The problem is, he had to have learned it from an extremely old spirit (which I guess points to Koh) or that Lion Turtle.

The only reason he seems sinister is because his whole reason to exist is to steal faces. And considering his name is "Koh, The Face Stealer" it isn't exactly surprising that he tried to steal Aang's face. But hey, your arguments sound better than other's that I've heard. It's normally one of my berserk buttons. Same with those theories that Aang's other son is Amon. That one is just stupid.

I don't care if you don't think I'm old enough. I played both Quake and Goldeneye just four months ago, and I feel like GE praise is overblown. id's shooters are much better in every way and still hold up today. In my very humble opinion, GE doesn't.

Please, don't pull the "I'm older than you so I know better than you" argument. I didn't come to these forums to be treated like I'm your child that just doesn't know any better. The great thing about video games is that I can still play them today, no matter how old I am. 

Might I clarify that while it did pursue things that pushed the FPS forward and introduced different modes still used today, that doesn't make it the best. Things can be innovated and improved on things. Just because Martin Cooper created the first cellphone, does that make his creation good compared to the cellphones today? No, not at all. GE is the same way. Sure, it was good for it's time (so you say, I wouldn't know) but I feel like it didn't age well compared to other FPS's of its time and FPS's today.

But I'm too young so my argument is instantly invalid right?

I don't think he means visual polish.

Not talking about that either. The gameplay is boring, the multiplayer levels were bland, and even for the time, the framerate was ****.


 

Oh, definitely. GoldenEye is a very well-polished game. Still has great gameplay, solid play-control, a decent soundtrack, awesome multiplayer... yeah, it's still a great game.

How can one not see that? o_O

Like I said, nostalgia. Sorry to say, but it doesn't hold up today. Perfect Dark, like I said, is very good. I refuse to accept that Goldeneye holds up today. Hell, I don't think it held up well at the time.
