Granted the game hasn’t aged well, but for the time, it was the best game ever.
So much so that now, whenI see a new 007 game announced, I get a momentary feeling of “OH SHIT!” until I remember it’s not going to be as fun as being 14, staying up all night in the summer, eating lays potato chips, drinking coke, dragging your balls across the losers face and laughing at him as everybody else holds him down, watching WWF Raw live, and then WCW Nitro on VHS recorded hours before, playing the improv one word game that all stoners play instinctively, recording vhs game boy camera movies. The summer of 1997 and 1998 was magical.
For a brief moment, I get nostolgia anytime I see a new 007 game. Then I instantly remember it’ll never live up to those days of my youth, now in my 40s.
I mean…of all the things to hate on AI for, this isn’t one. You don’t WANT an immitation voice. You want James Earl Jones. But he’s dead. AI is the best outcome possible.
I mean…in the 90s game informer was cool. Then gamestop bought them. They’ve been an Atari situation for like 15 years now. I would give zero shits if this new game informer did replace all the gamestop schill writers.
Nothing of value lost there. Actually, if they did go that route, they should have revived the old EGM name, and got Sushi X. I don’t even remember any of his opinions. I just remember people used to hold signs at wrestling shows that just said “Sushi X” on them, during the time when wrestling shows opened up with 20,000 fans, and of that 17,000 had signs. Every show always had a Sushi X sign.
