No surprise, he ruined OldBoy.
IMHO He's as bad as RZA when it comes to anything script/movie wise

Livin' Da Dream was definitely a flop...I had to play through it twice unfortunately because my game file was corrupt. Second time through though I simmed all the games and skipped cutscenes. After the initial story though "My Career" mode is still amazing. That story though...horrible...not to mention I am white guy with a twin sister that is black and two black parents...I mean come on...do they not think white guys play basketball video games? It was irritating on so many levels going through the story hearing my character speak that way and make faces that you would see most "brothas" be making when talking. It was just silly...I hope nobody thinks that sounds racist or "stereotypical" because its not...its simply straight up fact. If they made a story with a white family you'd be hearing news stories about how 2K sports was being unfair, biased, or even racist.

babadivad3504d ago

It's a little ridiculous that choosing a white guy doesn't change your parents or whatever but what you said was a little racist. That's almost like saying "me so horny" about an orientation chick then saying it isn't racist in anyway. Whatever, I get your point.

kizzle323504d ago

Well, I think that it more leans towards the stereotypical side, though, he made the story that way and the actor portrayed it that way so really they did it to themselves on the stereotype agenda.

KwietStorm_BLM3504d ago

You had me at first, but then you decided to go the ignorant route, entirely.

2pacalypsenow3504d ago

Ignorant? don't act like black talk the same way as white people

Spotie3504d ago

Don't act like all black people talk the same way, or that all white people do, either.

Don't act like people are pigeonholed into speaking one way or another, either.

kizzle323502d ago

All I am saying is that they really needed to have an option for another voice type and have your family generated based on your looks or something. The immersion is COMPLETELY NOT there if you are white guy playing this game...plain and simple. Yea I know that is probably asking a lot but come on. They could have done this a whole different way and just did the mocap and not did the facemapping thing for all of the characters in the story.

Corpser3504d ago

So corny, and they go on and on forever, I skip most of them now

iceman063504d ago

This issue is that he tried to put a movie into a game. As a movie, it might have been enjoyable. However, being put into the narrative requires a lot from the gamer. (having to create a white character and place them in this narrative seems a bit far fetched to say the least)
Plus, they removed (for the most part) the important element of choice. But, I don't blame Spike Lee completely. 2K seemed to have been pretty hands off with the content that Spike wanted to provide. This was Spike's first foray into gaming narrative. IMO, he needed more direction. 2K needed to step in and open up the narrative to more choice.
This was a Spike Lee Joint...but it was a 2K game!

Fortnite is just an absurd grind not necessarily that difficult, but the hardest platinum trophies are from games like Super Meatboy and even moreso, Crypt of the Necrodancer.

ZeroX98762497d ago

Super Meat boy!
I intended to platinum it, but I never went to see the complete list of trophies until not too long ago. I said to myself back then : "the hardest one must be getting a+ every stages", but no. They had to include a "complete all worlds without dying once" for each world, including the dark world versions! How crazy is that ?!?!?!

Skull5212497d ago

Still never seen any harder than Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter

Be #1 on the Leaderboards

bujasem_892496d ago

For me it was the first mirrors edge.

Killa782497d ago

Yakuza 0 was a bit** hidden behind Japanese language/mahjong lol

-Foxtrot2497d ago

Overwatch's and Final Fantasy X for me

Other multiplayer games these days or if they have an online part of the game

Final Fantasy IX...those 200 jumps...urgh

Gardenia2497d ago

Final Fantasy IX 1000 jump rope is total bullshit. Luckily you can use an auto clicker script with PS Remote Play

metalgod882497d ago

I got to 680, lost focus for one second and failed. I couldn't believe it... decided to collect all the cards instead haha

-Foxtrot2497d ago

Super Mario Kart.
Good lord, the struggle...
Mario Kart 64 was almost as bad, but not quite.

blawren43114d ago

Tiger woods pga tour golf. No matter how good you played, the other players scores were close at end of round. I had to take extra strokes, then play my game the last round to prevent this.
