But Nuts and Bolts isn't a good anything

that is literally correct for Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls though

Have you even played it? It's stupidly good fun.

>Trying to get your first plane off the ground and flying

The physics are deceptively deep.

Why put "X" if it's always going to be "game"?
>>
>>338354550
It's a mathematical term. Quit being retarded.
>>
>>338354826
He's right
>>
Silent Hill 4 Isa pretty good horror game but not a good Silent Hill game.
>>
>>338354826
You're missing the point.

The word that is going to be replacing "Y" is going to be a different game series every time, so that's fine.

But "X" is always going to be "game"

>it's a good GAME but not a good banjo kazooie GAME

So there's no point in having X instead of Game.

Holy Christ. I'm not even the OP but it's still an incredibly easy concept to grapst. In this case X = Game, and Y = A game which is part of the same series as X. Quit being a faggot.

You might want to read the OP again and double-check what X stands for.

quick in lay terms what does cauchy's integral formula tell us?
>>
>>338355558
Why not? X is still equal to a certain game in this case, and we all understand that. Saying X or saying Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts amounts to the same thing. As long as you understand what X is, it shouldn't matter either way.
>>
>>338355706
Well they do say imitation is the sincerest form of flatterly :)
>>
>>338355801
>X is still equal to a certain game
No.
X is equal to "game", as in literally the four letters "g a m e"

How can one man be so bad at reading comprehension?
>>
>>338355864
I don't follow

What's "flatterly"?
>>
>>338354536
While it can be fun, its not good at anything it set out to be.

A game where you're suppose to build vehicles for challenges not letting you actually do that for most challenges is just ridiculous.

Ironically, the only place they got the actual concept done right was in the DLC. Since they finally split logs choice and player's creations into two separate takes on the same missions.

Secondly, when it comes to building, the game was incredibly limited. Very few pieces weren't just straight upgrades over previous tiers. You were limited by the rather small building size, and the few pieces that weren't upgrades were situationally useful at best.

The whole concept of building your own vehicle for challenges has been done far better in other games.

This isn't even touching upon the banjo IP either. Its a fun lil game to play, but its not nearly a good one.

A typo/spelling mistake.
>>
>>338356028
You said that "banjo kazooie" was X

Which is wrong. Read the OP again: "banjo kazooie" is Y, not X.
>>
I totally agree with this though for Nuts and Bolts. It wasn't any of the usual platforming people expected because of the prior two games and the constructed levels themselves kind of sucked ass, but it was really fun just messing around in the freeplay area making crazy vehicles.

Its a good Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts. What don't you understand here? I can use your logic against you because what I said still makes sense.

>>338356306

Why did you quote the same post twice?

Also read the OP again, it goes like this
>it's a good game, but not a good banjo kazooie game

> I can use your logic against you
That's not logic, that's being unable to read
>what I said still make sense
It doesn't, again read the OP

Since the other morons weren't good enough at explaining it, "X" is a mathematical variable.

"Game", as it's used in the OP, is a constant.

So, "Game" as a constant cannot be the same as "X" which is a variable, and therefore the OP makes no sense.
>>
>>338356749
>the OP makes no sense
Exactly. "Game" never changes.

The problem is that idiots started interpreting "game" as "any game", which is not the case, because that's Y
>>
>>338356824
Y is also a constant in this case as well though. It's referring to a certain game series, in this case Banjo-Kazooie.
>>
>>338356980
And what part of my previous post denied that?
>>
>>338356082
>>338355864
You need to be over 18 to browse this site
>>
>>338357060
Nothing I was just commenting on it. Y could just as easily be X in this case. In which case we'd have X = Y = X.
>>
>>338357208
>Nothing I was just commenting on it
Ah, I see. The "though" threw me off

And yes, I agree with what you're saying.

The proper statement should be
>it's a good game, but not a good X game
>>
>>338357280
I agree.

this was actually a really good game, and I wish some other stealth-action shooter existed that controlled as fluidly as this.

like, literally steal the mechanics and controls wholesale, and slap it on a new IP. guaranteed gold.

This and Hitman Absolution were both amazing at capturing the action-movie feeling.

The issue is that they did so in franchises that had traditionally stayed pretty fucking far away from feeling like standard action movies.

also if absolution were released today /v/ would jump on its dick just to feel like they were saying fuck you to sjw's
