I promise you the frame rate was that bad, but it was so much fun it was over looked by critics and gamers alike, including myself. Why are you coming in here trying to change facts....history? There is no doubt that the frame rate bogged down a lot. You ever throw something called am Nbomb? As for Devils third having higher expectations than a Nintendo game.....do you hear yourself? |
I'm not changing shit. I'm saying it like it is. I bought Perfect Dark on the first day it was released. I know what I'm talking about. I'm not saying there weren't framerate issues. It just wasn't uncommon for a game like that to not have framerate issues. SOme of the most highly rated N64 games had framerate issues. The N64 hardware was also getting old at the time. That's why people didn't have a problem with it. That's why critics didn't have a problem with it even though it was mentioned in just about every review of the game at the time. Remember Turok 2? It was one of the top N64 games of 1998 and a Christmas present of mine that year. That game also suffered from framerate issues and occassionally froze when it used the N64 expansion pak. Despite all this, these games were still very much playable and performed exceptionally well for the time.
Now, when looking at Devil's Third, we're looking at something different from Perfect Dark or one of the other top rated N64 games. Those games couldn't avoid the issues they had unless they were running on more powerful hardware. With Devil's Third, it could be better because games like it have been done already on the very same hardware. So it isn't like there's a hardware limitation issue here, or at least if there is, it isn't as severe as some of the later N64 games. Also, Devil's Third comes from the same guy who helped revive the Ninja Gaiden series. so there's a good reason to initially have high expectations. Again, you're looking too much into the numbers themselves. You have to look into the context behind the numbers. You can't just compare two completely different games that have different expectations and suffer from entrely differently problems.
Finally, as for the Nbomb....um...I don't speak bullshit internet language. I don't know what that means. Call me old fashion but I prefer English.
