NES WORLD Forum - I'm gettin' pissed with James (AVGN)

Mar 2007 at 15:40 Ever since I found out about Snake's Revenge's unofficiality, I dismissed it as such. I assumed from all the negative criticism that Hideo Kojima himself didn't like it, but then I heard otherwise. So why do people not like it so much? It's a solid game. I'd understand it if Kojima himself didn't like it.

1. It's an OPINION. Just because someone has a different opinion, doesn't mean that they're "morons" or "idiots". Has GameFAQS really seeped into the minds of people?

2. As Armake said, it's an EXAGGERATION. Armake himself actually said that some of the guys he doesn't even find that bad. I believe James said so somewhere, too. The point is comedy. The reviews are not meant to be taken seriously.

3. Just because the creator likes it, and is a "legend" doesn't always mean it's good. Gunpei Yokei LOVED his Virtual Boy creation, but did others? Very few.

4. That Godzilla game is damn impossible...he even proved it in the review. Hell, I proved it myself.

5. Glad to see someone else who is irritated by Jedite. He could be the funniest reviewer for all I care, but his voice is so ridiculous, shreiky, and loud. I honestly cannot understand what the hell he's saying.

His exact words at the end of reviewing Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde are "I'm dead f***ing serious. DEAD, F***ING SERIOUS."

I thought Snake's Revenge was a good game, though. I can understand if it were a terrible game, & everybody hated it; like the Zelda CD-I games. Grin

But there seems to be a rather unusual antipathy towards this title. Even somewhere on GamePro I read that it wasn't even made by Kojima & we should forget its existence or something like that.

Do you really think there is a human being who plays video games and curses so much to the point that he gets so angry that he "takes a shit" on a cartridge (See Nightmare on Elm Street)?

Apr 2007 at 03:53 That's an accurate and very telling review of DD3, lol. I remember I once owned this game. Very difficult indeed. I actually beat it too, without a game genie. Turns out the final boss is Marian as Cleopatra...weird...

Apr 2007 at 04:07 Actually, in the arcade it's Cleopatra; in the NES version it's Noiram? I think the arcade was actually worse - pretty stupid how you fight Hiruko as well.
