Captain Red Posted January 8, 2008 http://www.navgtr.org/library.html Castlevania: Symphony of the Night sucks because you can't jump while swinging your sword. Also, it should have had more cutscenes. Goldeneye hardly redefines first person shooters. Oh, it has multiplayer, but who cares about multiplayer stuff. Gran Turismo Has terrible controls and is completely unrealistic. Honestly, why you'd waste your time on games like those duds when everyone knows Bubsy is where it's at. PS Doom, Doom, doomy doom (seriously bad). 0 Share this post Link to post
Texas Libra Posted January 8, 2008 Uhhhh...where that guy get the idea that Master Levels came with it? Or am I the one who's clueless? 0 Share this post Link to post

EllipsusD Posted January 8, 2008 Ok, I understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinions... but seriously? I mean, I understand some of the complaints, but others seem completely arbitrary, or have to do with things that were standard for the time the games came out. 0 Share this post Link to post

Regen Posted January 8, 2008 I think there entertaining in a historical respect wether there off a little or not. im allways digging around for gaming videos on youtube, witch is what its also unfortunately good for in many ways. ill find myself watching someone play doom (and other games) more now than i sometimes actually play it/them myself. less expended physical energy if that doesnt sound even more pathetic. wasd + mouse is a bit much on some days when im sitting back. 0 Share this post Link to post

Kristian Ronge Posted January 8, 2008 Nice find, Captain! MikeRS said: Very poor attempted copy of the Angry Video Game Nerd... These reviews appear to be very old (i.e. from the 90s). If they're not, somebody made a *very* good job of faking it. Also, some of the reviews consist (almost) entirely of praise, e.g. the Super Metroid review. Look through some other reviews found at the top link -- there are hundreds of them. EDIT: Heh, the SNES Doom review mentions the upcoming "Nintendo Ultra 64". Classic! 0 Share this post Link to post

How dose that make it fake? It's an archive of video review from the mid 90's that are the genuine opinions of the people reviewing them at the time. It makes it old I guess. 0 Share this post Link to post

40oz Posted January 8, 2008 wtf does he mean "who cares about multiplayer" multiplayer is what makes a game replayable. The internet would be a shitpile if there was no multiplayer. I'd probably use it as often as I read a book. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted January 8, 2008 They say Super Mario 64 sucks because you can beat it in only two weeks. And it has too few cinematic sequences. 0 Share this post Link to post
40oz Posted January 8, 2008 And I liked Gran Turismo. A lot. Its not like the car physics were too hard to get used to. And I also lol'd during the castlevania review, shortly after he was comaplaining for a straight 30 seconds about the no jump+whip combo, he says "so much for realism". Haha was Castlevania, in any way, originally planned to be realistic?? 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted January 9, 2008 There are so many things wrong with that Goldeneye review that I just have to say it must be some kind of joke.

Captain Red already made a good point; I'll just add that the title common for all the videos was probably added when the videos were uploaded (i.e. not there in the first place). In some review videos you see the beginning of another game review at the very very end, so the reviews were originally grouped together. Anyway, see e.g. the "Super Metroid" or "Resident Evil 2" videos for reviews that clearly aren't of a very high quality, but hardly joke reviews, either. 0 Share this post Link to post
Prince of Darkness Posted January 9, 2008 caco_killer said:Those reviews are laughably bad. I have to agree with Caco here. This guy just seems faked. Also, have you ever noticed how, not only does he never show emotion, but how he plays so badly? It might just be me, but it seems to be more like he just watched some footage made and gave his two cents on what he saw. And what he said about my beloved Myst...(Grrrr!!) *shakes fist* 0 Share this post Link to post
