Not only he appears small, but he is also extremely thin. And I doubt there's a Bruce Lee-like physique hidden there. If you remove that armor, he will look like some pro-Ana model.

Head is disproportionally large;
Neck is too long;
There is some fuckery going on with his shoulders.
Honestly, action figure comparison is valid, because as a kid I would often switch heads around the figuriness and piss myself laughing, pretty sure same thing is going on here.

Seriously, what's wrong with their model artists? D: Only Bethesda can rival them in shitty AAA models category.

 

[Drax]

Is just that they want to identify with the character and they're all sad manlets.

Must be all that gravity on them aliеn planets...

The head doesn't look like it's "inside" the suit (the neck area). More like someone copy-pasted the head/neck on top of the suit.

Weird angle too, looking like the pelvis/stomach is slightly closer to camera with shoulders and back arched away from it.

Overall, shit design but who cares as I haven't touched a single Bioware game since KotOR, and likely never will again 1 ;D

This is how they sold game editors at the start of the 1990s:



The above video came in the box on a GOLDEN VHS CASSETTE. What more could you ask for?

(Well, having the footage in the video match the product, as 8-bit owners quickly realized how badly they'd been shafted.)

As opposed to the elite Heavy Cavalry units of other nations, which decimated enemies by farting in their general direction?

Does anyone honestly even read IGN or Gamespot reviews anymore? I remember dumping Gspot almost 20 years ago when they gave mediocre Chrono Cross a 10/10 and finding them highly suspicious even back then. They were obviously corrupt long before Kane & Lynch came along.

Being such a well-known site, I'm sure there's a fairly constant flow of new people who start taking an interest in games coverage.

Bioware's really gotten worse with their designs. It's as if they replaced all of their competent employees with interns or something.

Most gamers agree with the big review sites, because gamers are the dumbest people in the world. They don't decide whether a game is good or bad as they play it, they're told whether a game is good or bad beforehand and that determines whether they enjoy it or not.

SNES preservation project "dead" after $10k of games lost in the post

A Nintendo fan's project to digitally preserve every SNES game has ended in defeat after the US Postal Service (USPS) lost a package containing 100 cartridges.

The parcel contained between $7500 and $10k worth of vintage games, which were en route to amateur archivist Byuu.

The package made the journey from Frankfurt to Byuu's home state of New Jersey, but after this was lost by the USPS. It was the second of five planned shipments of games from a European collector, who has now been left without a large chunk of their collection.

Byuu had planned to borrow the games, 100 at a time, dump the cartridge's contents, then repackage them and send them back. This worked fine for the first 100, so Byuu was eagerly awaiting the second shipment to continue his work.

After the shipment went missing, Byuu spent weeks appealing for help on Reddit from anyone who worked within the USPS or knew anyone at its New Jersey processing centre. The sender had insurance, but only for its travel to the US. Beyond that, it was lost. Sadly, after more than a month of no word, Byuu's luck seems to have run out.

For those thinking "clearly this is a scam", Byuu is a well-known member of the emulation community and author of his own SNES emulator, higan, which is widely regarded as one of the best there is.

As our own Chris Bratt found out when investigating Nintendo's own Virtual Console service, many of the pirated SNES ROMs available online are not true copies of the game - they've been edited in some way. Not even Nintendo has the original digital images of all these games - which is how copied games find their way onto Nintendo's own store.

Writing on Reddit last night, Byuu admitted defeat. His focus is now to reimburse the European collector for the games which were lost - people have suggested he set up a GoFundMe to help, which he said he may do.

But the preservation project is over - at least, for now.

"I'd rather start working on reimbursing the sender now, as game prices only go up," Byuu wrote. "He lent me 100 valuable games (Vampire's Kiss, Incantation, Hagane, Mega Man 7+X+X2+X3, etc etc), and now I can't send his games back.

"It was a terrible mistake have him trust the mail system. I'm not going to risk anyone else's games like that again."

"Lost" as in someone working for the USPS found out what's in the packet and nicked it.

Christ, that sucks. I guess you're better off just flying overseas and handing off the games themselves.

If most ROM dumps aren't true copies of the game, does that include the No-Intro ROM sets?

Also, what kind of edits are made to them (barring obvious things like ROM hacks)?

 

[Average Manatee]

100 cartridges should be pretty small if packed properly. Anything worth $10k that can fit in your carry on luggage should be worth a plane ticket IMO. But then 20/20 hindsight. Sad to see.

But still, Nintendo themselves don't have a backup of games? They are just downloading ROMs off the net and reselling them? Any shred of guilt I may have had for downloading ROMs is now gone. If you yourself can't keep a copy then you don't get to keep the copyrights.
