Barcik: You are utterly out of your mind.


Dammit, I posted my opinion after I've seen this one recently for the first time, and said that it now looks way to cheesy. There was nothing I haven't seen before. It doesn't look like a bad movie today, but nothing particulary out of the ordinary. And that's the kind of responses I get.
For example, I can say much the same about Star Wars. Once, it was grand and original, but coming out today it would have been no more than a soulless rip-off. Or is it not a valid point? Does Indy look today exactly as it looked back in 1981?

Edit: I can't point at a total "Godfather" rip-off. There are many movies which loaned something (sometimes a LOT) from it, but I jus't don't remember a movie I have seen that is a total rip-off of it.

Barcik, I think you're wrong - but thats my opinion. Yes, the effects of Raiders are "out-dated" in comparison to those in todays films, but Raiders has some of the best cinematography I've ever seen, and I don't think the storyline will ever be matched.


I don't mean the effects. I mean that coming it out today it would have been just another cheesy movie. The storyline was very basic, nothing a Tomb Raider can't match, and the jokes have been re-used a thousand times since. Perhaps once it was original, but a movie loses much of its charm after it gets ripped-off over and over again. True classics are films that will never be out-dated - such as the Godfather. Yes, it's an old flick, but nothing has matched it yet.

Well, the first one, yeah. Not the second though, too much bullshit.

But the Matrix too will one day be outdated, leaving many fans in denial stage.

Hooray! A game containing backgrounds photos of what I consider to be the ugliest city in the world. I'm sure gonna play it.  ;)

I liked this game a lot, but I doubt it this format would have worked in a long game. After all, this game had little to offer except the excellet cutscenes.

Man, that sucks.

I couldn't fail to notice that many of you have been robbed. Is it such a serious problem where you live, because I can hardly say that I know many people who were robbed.

I have seen Raiders of the Lost Ark recently, and fount it to be extemely outdated. Perhaps once it could have been the best, but now it can't rival the competition.

Is Kill Bill the new Pulp Fiction? I heard thats what Tarantino was aiming for.

I hope not - cos let's face it, Pulp Fiction was bloody boring!

:P

Blasphemy!  :o

Well, Holland have been shaky the last years, so it's not the biggest of surprises if they will not be able to go through Scotland.

Yes, HideCursor does sound like a good idea.

But I believe HideMouseCursor() will suffice.

How are actors less capable of being politicians then lawyers or brokers? I don't know Arnie's ideology, but judging him as by his previous proffession is wrong.

Many people work hours upon hours and lose in the AGS Awards. Why not create the same for them?

Besides, it is quite obvious that the winners of the 12 MAGS competitions will be the ones between whom the awards are dividided, not the losers.
#439
I'm sorry for being the pain-in-the-ass, but I still fail to see the advantage of it. Can somehow please explain to me how is it any better than simply comparing all MAGS games to all other games in the AGS Awards?

i wish the house messed with them more. it seemed to me that the house existed on another plane and i pictured it on a floating island in the sky no one getting in no one getting out cause of the ghost. The ghost brings the car in for some reason that is never explained and it shouldn't have stopped there. Come out of the bathroom and try to go downstairs but the stairs are gone. Doors are added and taken away when someone steps through them, brick walls appear inbetween doors and rooms you've visited many times. This is the same thing I missed from I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, the act of being messed with by AM.

The car was great, when it appeared i was confused in a great way, i felt "there is something going on here that is crazy and i'll soon learn." but the car seems to be added mostly to give you the lock picks...

more on being messed with: I kept waiting and waiting but it never happened, I wanted to walk into the dining room and see the picture on the wall changed a little. Like he's facing a different way or he's a little more menacing. I wanted to see small things changed in the house day by day or even second by second. walking into the hall with the staircase gone would have screwed me up pretty good, but walking into another room and noticing something is off but not being able to put my finger on it, even better.

And a quote from fullyramblomatic.com:
Quote5 Days A Stranger v1.3 is up. Yeah, I know you already played it. Well, I added sound effects with this one, so the least you ungrateful pricks can do is download it again and listen to all the lovely sounds I painstakingly added. Also, I made two of the paintings do weird and creepy things like change over time or occasionally look a bit different
