Yeah but it's like one of the most viscerally nostalgic games if you romanticize specifically the little bit of time between The Matrix and 9/11
And what a wonderful little period of time that was, made all the more precious by it's briefness.
Even when it was then technically the "new millennium" it still felt like the 90s, but like a, cyberpunk version of them.
Lol at anyone expecting a new sequel to PD to be any good by now, though. PD Zero proved that ship had sailed even by 2005. The best new thing that could have come from that series would have been an expanded edition as a GameCube launch title. Which I guess Rare should have done, considering it was a late N64 release and stretched that console to its breaking point
Am I the only one that doesn't think PD Zero is that bad? It's a flawed game but I still think it's pretty good, it's flaws are forgivable for it being a "launch title", what did people realistically expect for a game that had to drop day 1?
It's insane to realize that if anyone at Nintendo had been a little more forward thinking it could have been Nintendo that cornered the market on online frag fests, it could have been a Nintendo console as the go to and Perfect Dark as to go to instead of Xbox/PlayStations and Halo/COD.
I'm not complaining as that would have probably choked the life out of Mario, Zelda etc, but it is wild to think that literally the future of gaming was staring Nintendo in the face with Goldeneye and they just didn't quite get it, in hindsight it's so obvious.
But again, we got lucky as Nintendo going after that audience would have ruined Nintendo, still kind of interesting to imagine a world where saying "Nintendo" was still like saying "Xbox" today though.
I figure they must be like sports games for their fanbases: essentially the same thing every year, and since that's all they play, they don't mind it all being the same thing over and over.
That being said, I've always wondered about those types that buy consoles just for their favorite sport. Do they just never get the slightest bit curious when they see so many different games on the shelves? Like, I'd understand if video games just aren't your thing, but you like Madden because you like football itself. But once you're all established and you've put 500 hours into Madden, surely you'd at least be curious about something else that caught your eye at the store?
The people that play nothing but COD every year are retards, sports game fans are even bigger retards.
I'm sorry, but it's true, that's the type of gamer for whom gaming is a mindless activity they want to do when they want to solely zone out, they're not looking for a deeper experience than that.
It's the same deal with sports both real and virtual, again, I know it's kind of harsh, but you simply aren't a very deep thinker if that's your number 1 hobby, the lack of curiosity of anything outside of sports games is proof of that.
I know whenever I play online multiplayer the sheer repetition makes the novelty wear off fast, the idea of playing something like that all year long it just confounding to me, it's fun in short doses but months and months of that?
