conker\'s bad fur day?
« Reply #60 on: February 27, 2001, 07:39:23 AM »
using slang and having a hilarious, hard to understand accent are totally different. I have played the game, the voices are very fast, quiet, and British. Yecch!

The Ram cart as far as I could tell, did not do anything, as I played it with and without, no difference, sound or otherwise.

The Control, you get used to, but it\'s no Rayman 2.

Just wait til you play the game, you will see. It is a game for immature preteens and young teens, not for adults. The swearing, farting, pooing, etc all get tired after a short while.

Whoa he drinks! whoopee!

Abbreviated version...how about you grow up for once.

Someone only has to look at my last post and compare it to yours, I think you\'re the one that doesn\'t sound experienced and intelligent. Also don\'t give this \'my time is precious\' crap, you practically live on this forum anyway.

It\'s no suprise you\'d go on another Nintendo bashing tirade though, gotta keep that simple mind of yours entertained right :rolleyes:

Right. I will rent the game. I just can\'t see myself not getting tired of the potty humor over the time it would take to beat the game. Not to mention the price. Yikes. Cartridges are way to expensive for me to go buying. And the only N64 game I plan on buying currently is Paper Mario.

That\'s cool.  I mean, I have no problem whether or not someone likes a game as long as they give it a chance.  It\'s just when people say a game is crappy or a rehash, when they haven\'t played it before.  That is all I\'ve been trying to say.
It seems as if the people [casual gamers] that we consider to know absolutely nothing are the ones that actually know the most important thing: Name brands don\'t make the console, games do.

Ah it the ocupational hazard of the games developer

if they make a "origional" game they might lose money if it dose not catch on.

but if they just rehash it then they run the risk of releaseing another "tomb raider".

Most of they time they do play it safe with tryed and trused method\'s.

Maybe we need more independent developers to brake this cycle, as they have a great chance of reaping their rewards back if it is sucessful.

For example a Independent whould get

  • Possible international reconition
  • Increased sales if their new idea appeals to more than the one gaming genra (pardon the spelling)
  • possible unorigional sequal that could add to the sucess of the first.


byt hey thats just my opinon, it\'s always up to the developers to take the chance on a new idea and stick with it right to the end.

There is a budding independant developer community for the dreamcast. The developers are VERY talented but the time and effort required to make a DC game might turn a lot of people away.

Yeah ... But for somereason we still buy them in our droves , it might be to do with the fact that there are no alternatives to choose from.

But that dose not excuse them from breathing a little life into a tried Genre.

i mean how can you develop on a beat them up with out resorting to rehashing some of the basic consepts of this genre.

For example you can list mainly all of them that have the tried best of 3 bouts system.

only a hand full stray from this with other modes and game set ups.

that is why it is important for developers to listen to the gamer, it would be a crying shame if the next series of final fantasy games on the playstation 2 where nothing morethan a high res version of the playstation versions.

I think Conker faces a few problems in this situation. Its by Rare and for the most part they keep a certain formula and don\'t break it.

And even if the game is excellent  platform fare, the potty humor is going to over-shadow it. I\'m not sure how many 17+ want to pay for a game of a talking animal who cusses. Its cute at first, but then its boring.

The N64 is severely out-dated. I would of saved the game for the GC . But, hey, thats just my opinion.

You\'re right, you don\'t jump to Sony\'s defence, big deal. But why is it that you must knock every little thing a particular video game company does. Really, you come on your own forum spew out a pile of unintelligent bullsh[/i]it about Nintendo, and why, because you\'re still dirty on them for being sucked into the Nintendo 64 hype 5 years ago. In your own words it\'s - you "hate" the company, lame :rolleyes:.

You\'re like the infamous chubby 10 year old piplely faced bully who demands respect and who laughs at his own jokes. The other kids haven\'t got the balls to stand up to the bully for fear of being punished, of course behind his back they think he\'s a wanker, moron etc. It\'s a nice analogy and it fits you like a glove.

Run along and play your revolutionary \'computer entertainment system\' from the thrid place that will take the PC years to catch up to. Moron :rolleyes:

Again you fail to understand that the humour is simply a front for a very deep and enjoyable game. As for getting tired of the humour well I believe the way the humour has been used is quite intelligent in many areas.

To begin with the Matrix spoof is brilliant, here is a scene that plays out exactly like the movie, slow-mo bullets, mid air flips etc but what makes the humour so good is that by simply replacing neo with a short stubby squirrel trying to look like neo you produce a very comical and amusing scene, this is smart humour. Another example is the aliens spoof where, just like Ripley in the movie Conker says \'Get away from her you *****\' except of course it is a squirrel saying it and like the Matrix example proves very funny. Another example is when Conker dies somewhere in the game and he meets the Grim Reaper, now the Grim Reaper approaches Conker in a very evil and menacing fashion while casting a dark, long shadow. Obviously you\'re expecting a very evil and deep voice from the Grim Reaper but not in Conker, the Grim Reaper gives off a sqeaky high pitched voice telling Conker not to laugh, absolutly hillarious. Finally the money Conker uses in the game talks as well, in one scene the cash says "come back for more have ya, ya greedy bastard" (or something similar), the list of smart humour in the game goes on and on. Yes there is plenty of South Park humour but it is also intelligently used throughout the game instead of mindlessly in South Park.

The other thing that sets Conker apart from the rest is the emotional content. Conker reacts to everything from love, hate, fear, greed, lust etc. Conker has more emotional content in it then any other video game ever made, period.

Why because for having a differing opinion and because I don\'t believe mm sets a good example for this forum. What a dopey thing to say.
