Lots of games made then still hold up so it being old isn't an excuse. Like I said, interesting gimmicks but few of them actually translate to a good playing experience
If your ideas constantly interrupt gameplay or require lengthy tutorials for every little thing, it's poor game design

“Games made 25 years ago have some mechanics that aren’t very good when viewed through a modern lens” is certainly a take. Thank you for making me age 14ish years with a single post |

14 year old Danno was playing some shit games! I think I was mostly playing 40K and "how can we get pissed without anyone finding out so that we look cool for the birds" |

If you were playing at 40K, how many FPS?

TBH, maybe my comment here belongs in the “game mechanics you hate” thread (though it’s design more than mechanic but whatever). But that’s something I hate about writing in Japanese video games. The over explanation of everything. It’s one of (many) factors that kept me from getting into Gran Turismo 7. “Ahh I see you’re driving the Mini Cooper! Built in the UK, with its blahblahblah and blahblahblah it’s capable of blahblahblah blahblah. It’s no exaggeration to say it’s blahblahblahblah.” Could you imagine if Kojima wrote and directed a Gran Turismo game? Just as the lights above the start line turn on a 20 minute cutscene about the history of the car your driving begins. You learn it was is the latest in a line of cars designed by a nazi in the 1930s. Suddenly, you’re thrown back into the race, only to be pulled back into another 20 minute cutscene exactly 2 laps later when we learn about the driver of the car, their horrible upbringing and the reason they have a prosthetic arm. Mid-race your arm starts talking to you about the effects of fallout after nuclear war and how you must crash the car into the crowd to avoid a global disaster. Meanwhile, your pit crew are constantly radioing in with tips on how to feather the throttle and nurse the tyres. And for some reason all the women in the game are both in their underpants and referring to you as their ‘son’. Gran Turismo: Reverence Edit - Also, your main rival on the track is an aggressive cyborg called Pete, who for some reason is allowed to fill his car to the brim with Samurai Swords. |

Apologies, but I think that’s how my brain works at 7am. I’ve calmed down now.

If five had been finished and the FOB nonsense reigned in, it would be the best game of the lot and even then, is probably my favourite.

I'd play the shit out of that, but we all know that each race would take 20 hours to complete because of all the cutscenes.

A pox on whoever decided that what caramel really needed was fucking salt, of all things.

Most cake. Standard stuff is dry, over sweet shite (especially shop bought) but a well baked moist cake is the tits. |

I have noticed as I've got older I care less and less about dessert in general. I really love chocolate but I eat that as and when. When it comes to dessert at a restaurant or Christmas or a birthday I always pass on it. |

I got one. Heat is an excellent film but Al Pacino is utterly shit in it and almost completely ruins the whole film. Luckily he dials it down in ‘that scene’ and it’s brilliant but the rest of the time it is an absolutely ludicrous performance and somebody really should have taken away his cocaine and given him a good talking to.

In the Heat 2 book they make it very explicit that his character is on cocaine so that coming across could be considered great acting.

It's interesting that what we've had since then is what I call "Low register" Pacino but yeah since Heat he just devolved more into a parody of himself. Even in The Irishman.

Abridged version of a story in the JJ 2018 special "This Is Me Now". That version goes into a bit more detail and context, but oddly enough Netflix don't seem to like people uploading their stuff directly to YouTube for all to see.

I'd love it if by "that scene" you meant the GREAT AAAAASS scene. Would like to see a non dialled down version of that. |

Apparently Pacino was playing him as a coke addict, but a scene that showed him chipping coke had been cut, so it's all inferred. I think pacino disclosed that on a panel a few years back. |

Cake shouldn't be overly dry or tough either, to be fair, some moistness is nice, but "mushy" is too far in the other extreme. Same with "sugary" vs bland tasting, you need to have a good balance (If you need additional sweetness besides the cake's, there's always icing, syrup, glaze, toppings, filling etc to take care of that). |
