Heh! Don't you know Rule 36? If it exists, someone has turned it into a fetish!

*Sound Of Rain said: 2) Anti-Cheating measures mainly. New strategies maybe but it depends on what game(s) the mods approve. (If any) |
Ah, fair enough. Well, let me know if you want any help coming up with strategies or whatever. I just need to know what kind of ideas you're looking for.

*Sound Of Rain said: 3) I thought you couldn't own an N64 without playing Super Mario 64? |
Who? Never heard of him!
|
*Sound Of Rain said: You mean to tell me I've done it wrong? |
Yes! You've done it totally wrong! Wrong, I tell you! What you've done is a cardinal sin! "Thou shalt not forsake the fruits of Rare Studios on thine own Nintendo 64."

*Sound Of Rain said: Well, I no longer have it so...too late. |
Nah, even if you can't get it in their online store or whatever, there's always emulation. It's up to you but, seriously, I do recommend checking them out if you can. In my opinion, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark are the games that legitimized FPS's (particularly Goldeneye since it was the trailblazer).
Sure, the genre had already been around for a while but... I don't know... was I just not playing the right games? Am I the only one who thinks that Goldeneye was the first FPS with locations that actually felt "real", rather than just the same room over and over again? I can't say for sure that it was the first but it was the first that I encountered, which I guess is why it grabbed my attention.
For the first time, environments in an FPS actually seemed like real locations. Not because they were lifelike or photo-realistic, but because of their design. Others I'd played prior to that seemed extremely homogeneous by comparison. Everything looked the bloody same. Well, ok maybe not that bad, but Goldeneye was definitely a big step up, all the same.

*Sound Of Rain said: 4) Yeah, I've never really defended Microsoft before...I respect all 3 console makers though. |
Fair enough. I have defended them in the past but I'm afraid they totally lost me this gen. What's funny is that Sony have their own history of being dicks too, but so far this gen, they've been hitting every ball out of the park. Why can't all the companies be awesome all at once? :-/

You don't have to ask, but it had to do with my older signature pics |
I'll just leave it there.
Ok, now you've got me really curious.

I have only played a tiny bit in a friend's emulator, so it wasn't enough to judge it. But I know it's pretty famous. I would like to know if Goldeneye 007: Reloaded for the PS3 is any good or if it's a decent remake from the N64 original. |
I'm afraid I can't help you with Reloaded because I don't know. But regarding the original, I'll just say that it depends on how you approach it. If you play it expecting a modern military shooter, you'll be disappointed (or perhaps refreshingly surprised ), but as long as you remember the game's age and context, I think you'll appreciate it for what it is. It's dated now, yes, but there was nothing quite like it at the time.

I'm so glad to see that I'm not alone - I agree with everything you said. In my case, even multiplayer is painful. Lucky for me, I prefer single-player anyway. The bad news (for me) is that there looks to be more multiplayer than ever coming this gen, which means I won't be gaming much. :-/
