Clickbait article on GoldenEye "Secrets"

CptLima:
Just saw this article...

https://www.thegamer.com/hidden-things-super-fans-know-goldeneye-007/

It's pretty badly written, and most of the "hidden secrets" aren't secrets or aren't even things in the game... but that aside, going through most of the screenshots on the page, they're actually screenshots not of GE64 but of older versions of GE:Source (and mostly uncredited... one is even a screenshot of one of Graslu's YouTube videos of a mod level).

Of course, they never mention GE:Source anywhere in the clickbait monetized article, even though it has a bunch of GE:S photos in it... would have been nice if one of the 25 "hidden things" was that there's a really fun fan-made mod that's still going strong today, especially if they're going to show a bunch of photos of it!

They also used images from Goldeneye 25! On top of getting basic facts wrong. Like saying frigate wasn't in the film. It was. Bond saw Xenia steal the emp proof helicopter! He just didn't shoot a bazillian guys and free a bunch of hostages while doing it.  ::)

I find it disgusting to harp so badly on what was clearly well-intended, and he obviously knew when he was using screenshots from not the Nintendo 64 version.
I didn't know the fall was in every following game (have not played many of them), nor about the briefcase, etc.  Red shirts is actually a reference to Star Trek, but I never noticed it in the game.  I didn't know "GoldenEye" was a British code word.


I acknowledge that he got some things wrong, but I am not going to join some bandwagon meant to mercilessly rip his soul apart for no reason.
If you just reached out and cordially contacted him he would make changes.  How is what you are doing here better than doing that?

Eh... Don't you think you're being a tad bit dramatic? We're not "joining some bandwagon meant to mercilessly rip his soul apart for no reason." It was a crap article, so people called it a crap article. Nuff said.
