Absolute kino game, I couldn't imagine it would become a trend setter at the time but it's not surprising in retrospect.

Zoomer moment.

Using the right analog stick for looking around was a game changer back in the day.

He was referring to OP, not the fucking journalist you retard.

It was a new control scheme.

He was completely right.

it's weird how nightfire still had the godawful control scheme as default where left analog moves you forward/backwards and turning camera left/right while the right stick is for strafing and looking up/down, despite halo being out for a whole year prior.

THis game looked so fucking good for the PS1

Vidya journalism was always a joke Anon-kun, even Jeremy Clarkson was able to writre game reviews that felt believable to then-teenaged limey chumps who didn't know any better that he's just taking the piss out of Speccy users and getting paid for it.

He's not wrong, this game has terrible control scheme back in the day. Many youtuber gamers complain about it.
