Derek and TheJWittz are (or "were" in the case of Derek) two of the most unlikable dillweeds on YT, at least the ones that focus on gaming related content, anyway. I want to go on a rant about these two right now, but I should probably save it for a separate thread. |

To this day i still don't know how Mark didn't fire his ass for being such a NintendoNazi. |

To this day i still don't know how Mark didn't fire his ass for being such a NintendoNazi. Lol, that's a good way to put it. The stuff he said about certain Sony games still baffles me to this day. He was so arrogant and full of himself. It's no surprise to me that he fell out of game journalism work. Plus, even several of his reviews of official Nintendo games like DK 64 and Super Mario Land were horrible. Thankfully CGR Undertow was redeemed by other actually mature reviewers like Ray and Ryan. Those guys were awesome. I'm sure there are many other horrible Nintendo fanboys outside of Derek and TheJWittz, but since I am not affiliated with anything modern-Nintendo related these days I have not encountered them yet. |

Derek was cool, I liked all his reviews, they were well thought out, and even if I didn't agree on some things, I agreed on many others. It definitely was a big lost the community that his channel ended.

You should find Jesus and some peace in your life, my friend.

Here's just one example of Derek's heavy Nintendo fanboyism: I'll link more tomorrow when I have more time. |

oh don't make me go back and watch every Derek fucktard video to show you examples of his Nintendo cocksuckery. Derek was the biggest Nintendo fucktard of his time. he would deliberate give a good non Nintendo game a bad review and an average Nintendo game an outstanding review and that was his formula.
"The only people who can't see that Ocarina of Time is the greatest game ever made are the ones who live in the basement of Sony headquarters". The fucko declared Kirby Epic Yarn the greatest game of the year and Raystorm his favourite Ps1 game because it reminded him of Starfox. Out of the entire great library of the Ps1 Raystorm was his favourite?. The real reason Raystorm was his favourite because he has no experience with the Playstaion because he's a Nintendo fucktard that wouldn't dare touch anything outside of Nintendo.

The real reason Raystorm was his favourite because he has no experience with the Playstaion because he's a Nintendo fucktard that wouldn't dare touch anything outside of Nintendo. I'm not a hardcore Sony fanboy, since I haven't played many of their exclusives yet, but after watching Derek shit on some of my favorite Sony exclusives like Jak and Daxter, I totally see why Sony fans despise him. I've noticed that even some Nintendo classics weren't safe from Derek. For example, he shit all over DK 64 and even the legendary Super Mario Land: His inner Miyamoto fan-brat really shines-through in this review. As for DK 64, it's generally agreed to be the worst 3D Rareware platformer, but despite this it still has its fans, myself included. But Derek, of course, disagrees: "It'z not fun!!!!1" he says. "You're misleading yourselves!1 It'z nothing but tedious collecting!1" Shows what he knows. In his review he clearly overlooked the beat-em-up aspect to the gameplay, a huge draw DK 64 has over the Banjo Kazooie games. And being able to play as 5 characters adds a lot of gameplay variety. Plus, the levels are HUGE, especially the later levels. Just watching his shitty review makes me want to play it again.  Even though I didn't make this thread with the intention of calling out Derek, I'm glad we are anyway.  It was inevitable, I suppose. |

It's a matter of taste, I heard some people say don't like collectibles in games, and to me is like one of the most addictive things in gaming.
That's one of the reasons I like Gran Turismo for, because of the ability to actually build your own garage, I believe that's the basis of all RPGs as well, except collectibles are hidden under experience points you grind for fighting enemies to find out what they will drop. And that's what I liked about Rare games.
To be fair I admit I'm not a fan of 3D mascot games in general, I like Spyro, Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, and Donkey Kong 64, but that's about it. In fact I prefer when those concepts are applied to third person shooters like on Jet Force Gemini and also Rise Of The Tomb Raider which is a game I liked a lot.
