But, aren’t most of the outlets using a picture of Punished Snake, not Big Boss?

JonDiskonected1638d ago

yup hahaha, so even this article is getting it wrong

Vanfernal1638d ago

That is an actual quote from MGS2, where the meme came from.

@Vanfernal We realize that, but the title of this article states that people are “Mistaking Big Boss for Solid Snake,” but people are actually mistaking Punished Snake for Solid Snake.

Should have just used the meme to point at Oscar Isaac with. The guy is NOT Solid Snake. Looks nothing like him.

CrimsonWing691637d ago

Thank you!

He doesn't have the voice, either. It's going to come off as a bad cosplay with a person doing a try-hard voice impersonation. I know Snake isn't tall, but isn't Oscar kind of too short as well? Like, seeing him stand next to other characters might also look off...

I’ve lived with depression for years, and I can confirm it’s so much more than just feeling sad. It’s the numbness, the exhaustion, the constant mental battle just to get through the day. What helped me, oddly enough, was focusing on small tasks — like improving my living space. I know it sounds random, but researching things like home comfort gave me a sense of control. I even stumbled across this site about ductless mini-split systems: https://mytunbridgewells.co... . It gave me a distraction and a goal — making my space feel warmer, both physically and emotionally. Sometimes healing starts with the smallest, most unexpected steps.

I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.

Abear21576d ago

Agreed, Same with Metal Gear Solid imo. Came for Bioshock and was not disappointed. Would easily put Burger Time or Space Taxi over tempest. Also, OG Sim City and Oregon Trail. Mario 64 as well. Just too many!

Abear21576d ago

Never played it I gotta get on this one

Double_O_Revan576d ago

Me too. I didn't have a GC until way later and never played it. I've been waiting on Nintendo to release the HD edition on the Switch for forever, but they just won't!

FinalFantasyFanatic576d ago

I never bought a Gamecube, I've always had an urge to play this game, maybe it'll get a remaster in the future.

LoveSpuds575d ago

I played it on WiiU for the first time and it remains my fave Zelda game to date. So much character and a real sense of exploration without the open world bloat.

Petebloodyonion576d ago

Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?

Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.

Said it before but Heart of Darkness is truly a timeless gem.
