Re: Random: Child Holding Famicom Controller The Wrong Way Causes Outrage Online In Japan

The Japanese mentality is very different, they care extremely much about details and they hate sloppiness. I'll give you an example.

When I was in Japan, I bought an ice cream that was wrapped in plastic. Before the store clerk sold it to me, he noticed that a single, frozen berry had fallen off the ice cream into the plastic. He immediately changed the ice cream for me so I got one where all berries were still stuck in the frozen cream.

Use that mentality on this article and you'll understand why there was an outrage.

Re: Review: Turok - A Slice Of FPS History That's Still Worth Hunting Down In 2019

Turok 2: Seeds of Evil will feel like a new game if it's 60fps. The N64 original suffered a lot from being slower paced than the first Turok (in order to hide the bad frame rate), plus the frame rate was absolutely horrible at times. The original Turok for the N64 had an almost constant 30 fps frame rate.

Turok 3 and Rage Wars were made by another team (1 & 2 were made by the same people who later formed Retro Studios and worked on Metroid Prime). It's a matter of taste, but I think 3 and RW lacked the pace and interesting level design 1 & 2 had. I still remember how disappointed I was when playing 3, after having played 2 so much.
