That's because they were all played by otokoyakus.

So thats it, poison rivers? I never knew that. They explain it in-game and how this happened? Well, even if not, it okay, but now Im curious about that.

this.

Thanks

Poison rivers is a pretty good explanation. But for several of the heroes I think we could chalk it up pretty practically to armor. Reinhardt, Henry, Simon in 2 and IV, and probably a few other characters wear plate armor (i.e. very heavy steel). As a rule, you can't swim in plate.

Trevor and Christopher also wore armor and they sunk link rocks too. You might not think that Trevor wore armor, but he did in CV III's box art and in the instruction books sketches.

I don't consider CoD Trevor to be an accurate portrayal of the character.

Maria needs to lose some weight then...

I wasn't sure, so I just listed the ones I knew for certain.

Never played CoD either. I remember I read the back of the box and was like "OK, you've lost me."

The main issue with the N64 titles is that they came out when 3D games were in there infancy. They came out in 1999. It is now 2013 and look at games today. If the N64 titles were remade with current graphics and controls, they would likely be the pinnacle of modern classicvania. No shimmying. No QTEs. Just platforming, instant death pits, poison rivers that result in instant death, fall damage when you fall from a great height, etc.

It looks aged, indeed, but it's saved to my eyes because the aesthetic is very CV, and because of emulators and HQ textures allow me to play it "kind of" in HD nowadays.

I kind of hate old 3D, but there's some exceptions. With 3D, to me it seems like when 3D was in its infancy, games were made with great ideas and great gameplay, as when 3D evolved and allowed us to have beautiful graphics instead of giant polygons and primitive textures, it's like developers opted to have shallow gameplay. No more jumping from plaforms to platforms, no more death pits, no more open world...

There's a lot of excellent games today, like Bioshock and The Last Of Us, and MANY JRPG's... but I'm still waiting for that great modern 3D game with beautiful graphics and real platforming.

The link doesn't work to me. What do I have to do?

Maria needs to lose some weight then...

Why? Is Maria in the picture?

If they sunk like rocks because of their armor, Maria should be heavy since she doesnt use any, xD

I don't know, dresses in the late 18th century would probably be too heavy to swim in, too. I'm not an expert though, and perhaps you actually could use them to glide a la Peach in SMB 2.

[Pfil]

I bet that ancient dresses women used were as heavy as an armor when they got wet.

Unless its a complete Kimono then I doubt it, armors were much heavier than they appear to be in movies, at least that what I've heard, since I never touched one.

I don't know, have you ever tried to walk in soaked jeans? It doesn't take a whole lot of linen to turn into a total nightmare in regards to movement when enough water is applied. And then there's the off chance that the heroes may not actually know how to swim.

Try playing Super Mario Galaxy 1 or 2.  Gorgeous experience.  Brilliant OST's too!
