Retro Game of the Week: Wrath of the Black Manta


Posted on 11/08/2014 at 09:17 PM | Filed Under Blogs

I feel like the score should be lower. It's out of 5 yeah? Seems like this would definitely fall in the below average category based on your description. To me, "not completely awful" is at best a 2. What made you decide on 3? This isn't to get a war over review scores started, I'm just curious. Good review in any case. Even with that score, I can tell from your text it's really not worth playing. But really, is any Ninja Gaiden clone worth playing when we have Ninja Gaiden? I guess if you've already played NG and want something similar from a different franchise, but seems like most of these games failed to match the quality of their inspiration.

It's not sad at all. I mean Jon Favreau's character is a sad sack and he has to go through an arc, but as Favreau says in his commentary he likes hopeful movies, which it is. I'd definitely reccomend it to parents, it has some great family messages in there.

I honestly just stopped caring after a while. Kinda zoned out cause I knew where it was going and the repeat-the-same-day thing kinda took the tension out of it for me. Yeah, he can mess everything up when he gets injured, but meh. Never really had any doubts about where the movie was going and honestly didn't find it that interesting visually despite all the positive reviews when it came out. 

Now Chef, that one I really liked. Fatherhood movies tend to get me though and the fact it was also a dramedy about artistic passion made me a mark for it too. I think Jon Favreau is a really talented guy and he seems nice. Plus, Sofia Vergara is even sexier when she's acting straight as opposed to the Modern Family caricature she portrays on that show. Scarlett Johanson isn't bad either. But really, the food was the sexiest character in that movie. Laughing

It was chill. Watched Chef, which was excellent and made me well up a few times while also being funny. I think you'd like that one, since it's more or less about artistic passion. I actually watched all the deleted scenes and re-watched the movie with commentary. Red Box usually doesn't put those on their DVDs. 

Edge of Tomorrow was ok. I guess I just wasn't in the mood for a repeating-the-same-day story even if the main character figures it out quickly enough that each day is different and it's edited so that you don't start back at the beginning every time. Still, the repeat-a-day thing pretty much removed the tension for me. 

Also went to a bar with some friends I haven't seen in a while. Too bad Notre Dame lost, but I guess the UTwin makes up for it. Bunch of Aggies fans when we were there, looked like they were beating Auburn pretty handily.

The hell it is! Definitely wish I would have waited on a few Steam purchases I made thinking they were as low-priced as they'd get.

I honestly don't care about the radio frequency thing cause it has to pull from all the radio frequencies in the area to determine which is the most popular when changing the ad. Unless you're on your own, it's just an indication of what channel most people are tuned to. Even if you're on your own, the ad probably doesn't tell everyone what freq you're tuned to anyway. 

The cell phone stuff is a bit creepy though, cause it implies advertisers (who I don't really care about having access to my phone; send me your coupons) are not the only ones who have access to your phone. The good thing is shutting data and GPS off should help keep you off the grid.

That reason is probably the fact the game is so dark both visually and in tone if I had to guess. Doesn't seem like your style. I absolutely love it though.

It really was, I agree. The smaller ones I tend to just let outside. However, this spider was going to impale me, so I figured it was justified self-defense. I know you feel differently about GIGANTIC animals, being from Australia where you keep terrifying everything as pets, but dammit I was scurred!

Note: I don't actually think Australians keep giant beasts as pets. I do think y'all have one scary-ass continent animal-wise.

You're right. I have 6GB RAM (memory). I removed that sentence.

There are a lot of questions that simply ask if you would be comfortable with certain kinds of ads, so you don't have to experience location-based ads first hand to answer the questions. Hell, I don't think I've ever seen a location-based ad cause I shut GPS and data off most of the time.

And yeah, I remember your blog. It's definitely a worthwhile game. Can't wait to finish it.
