He was using pirated official Nintendo 64 development kit software to build the game, so I mean yeah it kind of did…

To be totally clear I don’t support Nintendo in this decision and it’s a shame it couldn’t be continued but it wasn’t like he was using the available open source toolchain, he was using Nintendo software so at least they had a leg to stand on legally

Also if memory serves Nintendo never even took it down, they just told Valve (who actively reached out to Nintendo) that they couldn’t release it and the developer took it upon himself to stop the project after not receiving Valve’s blessing.

Same experience. I found leaving difficulty on normal but turning down enemy health (or turning up your damage I can’t remember which) made a huge difference. I beat the game a couple of times like that. Before I found out about that option I had given up my first playthrough toward the end because of the combat and spongy enemies.

The story is amazing and the voice acting etc is great. The combat gets pretty repetitive especially toward the end and the enemies are total bullet sponges, so I highly recommend playing on normal difficulty but just turning down enemy health (or turning up your damage I can’t remember which it is but same difference). Made the game so much more fun for me. Beaten it I think 3 times now because I love the story and the game isn’t too long, maybe 15-20 hours?

The article is about insider builds aka betas. Yes betas have bugs lol

Except the fact that Steam removed their 2 hour refund rule on this game and everyone who bought it is apparently getting a refund (people even getting refunds without asking for them).

Honestly I have no idea why anyone besides maybe content creators would use this mod…hmm I think I just answered my own question it’s probably mostly streamers and YouTubers and a few people with morbid curiosity haha

Thanks!! I’ll give this a try

Fantastic game! Played it on gamepass and recently bought it on Steam so I can play on PC with a PS5 controller for better haptics (and also play on Steam Deck). Highly recommended!

I never would have guessed lol

Way further back than MP3’s even. The music industry had a whole ad campaign about how cassette tapes were going to kill music when they came out lol. Then they freaked out again with DAT tapes and then CD-Rs. Amazing how there’s still new music today…more than ever in fact.

I lost it when they made that comparison. Also, ya know they actually had a rover to drive around on the moon haha

Have you seen the replies they’re posting to Steam reviews? Fucking hilarious(ly sad) LOL
