The Activision GoldenEye game didn't have Frigate, Silo, or any of the other exclusive plot points the N64 version had.

Therefore it was a reboot, as it was a resetting of continuity per your own words.

that makes absolutely zero sense. remakes remove and add stuff all the time to varying degrees of success

reboots are a plot reset to make it so that writers no longer have to worry about years of baggage with past stories and characters. activision didnt remove the weird flashback levels from the rare game because they thought that it would somehow interfere with future stories they wanted to tell lmao. they were just adapting the same movie rare was

Cost of living is rapidly rising, wages are eternally stagnant, the job market is flimsy at best and welfare programs are bare bones as can be. The income gap is ever expanding with no end in sight. We have a health care system that most people you tell about in first world countries dont actually believe you about regarding its costs.

on one hand yes trump was terrible at managing people but that was a benefit to you and me because dysfunction and corruption was on full display and it was not heavy-handed in repercussions for the leakers. on the other hand, yes obama was better at managing people but that was a detriment to you and me because whenever someone came out and exposed dysfunction or corruption, he went after them full force and it created a huge chilling effect on whistleblowers.

this isn't a "trump good obama bad" thing and i would honestly have obama 2 before a second trump term, but obama came into office promising the most transparent administration ever and what we got instead was probably one of the most dug in and secretive, and it didn't really benefit a public that would want to know the sort of things being whistleblown to hold leaders accountable

I don't remember as many leaks of classified info happening under Trump to begin with. Most of them were about how shitty his administration was handling things.

And Obama literally commuted Manning's sentence. :/

obama commuted manning's sentence after years of mistreatment in prison under his administration. it wasn't like he suddenly levelled up and gained that power on his way out of office. there's a reason she continues to criticize him after being set free lol

And I dunno how you aren't remembering all of the trump leaks during the last 4 years, especially towards the first two years of it. There was a lot of reports of discontent, yes, but also an enormous amount of stuff reported from confidential meetings and stuff about plans and paths he was preparing to take. 2017 and 2018 mostly consisted of Trump running back and forth getting mad about leaks and threatening to find out who they were and (as usual) ultimately not doing anything. The back half of his presidency just sort of seemed to accept they were going to happen

I was legitimately asking what Obama did regarding the media and why that person thinks Obama was a bigger threat to free press than Trump. He posted a link to a resource I can't access.

So slow down on the unprovoked responses for a minute lol.

i cant access it either but off the top of my head:

Obama was incredibly aggressive about going after leaks, regarding internal drama and prospective plans. There were several multi-year court cases with him going after journalists to attempt to wring sources for various critical stories about him out of them. He really liked invoking the WW1 espionage act on people over this stuff, something that had only been used a handful of times by all presidents prior to him combined, and did it something crazy like toss it at 10 different people over the course of his eight years. I think it's also well known that Obama took an extremely heavy handed approach to whistleblowers during his administration, and that's an entire other can of worms. You might be able to justify it in some cases, but not at all the majority of them and people would have been screaming bloody murder if it was anyone but Obama doing it.

For all the huffing and puffing Trump did, he didn't pursue leakers anywhere near as hard and as iron-fistedly as Obama did. Often it didn't seem like he pursued them at all, honestly, it just made him pout and call them names. I can totally get behind Obama being a lot more harmful for transparency because it was a situation of moron vs someone who actually knew what they were doing

That's not what I called bullshit on. Us haters understood the scene. Doesn't make it any better.

exactly. the "they intentionally voiced the entire scene bad!!!" thing doesnt work when the game has bad voiceacting of a similar caliber throughout it. yes the laughing is extra bad because their motivation was supposed to be corny fake laughs, but the rest of it is so awkward and melodramatic its shocking

forgot to post my hot takes-

Sekiro is incredibly overrated and the least fun of the big FS action games since DeS

Capcom spent the 360/ps3 generation as a complete second class developer and outside of handhelds the only games they put out worth anything were Dead Rising, Street Fighter IV and Devil May Cry IV

The Genesis has a better library than the SNES outside of jrpgs

Dragonball as a general franchise is a poster child for shitty storytelling and Akira Toriyama should have stuck primarily to comedy

Games shouldn't be judged negatively by their length being short alone, and often shorter games can be better than longer ones in terms of being cohesive stories

Similarly, if a story takes an exorbitantly long time (something like One Piece or Inuyasha), it's probably not worth reading and almost always the quality deprecates over time

It really is. It's so beyond obvious what Tidus was trying to do that I question the intelligence of anybody hating on it.

its badly acted. i am not willing to give it the benefit of the doubt of "it was supposed to be badly acted" because tidus and yuna have bad voiceacting in the rest of the game on top of it
