Its just akward and unintuitive. It makes me wonder if their testers were spazzy A.D.D. suffurers or were just really stoned,lol. Who thought it was a good idea to run with this concept? The droning attempt at film noir narration is just the icing on the cake.
I plan to give it a chance, I'm only a couple of hours into it, but so far its not lookin too good.
The first Prime was really cool. But they just kind of went down hill from there. 2&3 are not bad, I just have some issues with them that some folks can overlook.
Samurai Showdown my was game game back in the day. Especially Samurai Showdown 3. Me and my best friend would pool our money, get 5 bucks worth of tokens and battle each other till it was gone. We beat it the same way too, taking turns when one of us died. The final boss was rediculous. I got serious respect for anyone who has beat a Samurai Showdown game at lv4 difficulty.
I have a big nostalgic soft spot for 2-D SNK fighters. They just rule.
Congrats on Borderlands 2 ! Now you only have 5 more characters, True Vault Hunter mode and Ultimate Vault Hunter mode to get through. Never mind an easy 35hrs worth of DLC not counting the final massive DLC dropping on the 25th. That game will eat you soul, lol.
I'm already bitter about Final Fantasy, Castlevania, and Contra. I don't want to see Metroid drift into the void of misdirection and mediocrity too.
Yeah I only go to Hell when I really have to, lol. Plus its just fun to say that.
As for Other M, I only paid $8 for mine and I don't really feel I got my moneys worth. Honestly I'm like maybe 2 hrs into it, but the way it plays is just very akward story stuff aside. You probably would be better off putting that $10 toward the Prime Trilogy, although I'm not sure what its going for lately.
I was never too keen on Mortal Kombat, I enjoyed watching other people play it, but I didnt' like the controls. Same with Killer Instinct. I was already a fan of a lot of the SNK fighters so KOF was amazing to me because it took characters from Final Fight, Art of Fighting, some others and put them all together. They were broke down into preset teams of three and in KOF2 and every title since you could pick any three characters you want for your team. And since all three fighters have to be defeated you have a chance to turn things around if you have a bad start. Plus you were getting more rounds for you quarter.
To me it was like they were trying to salvage the scan visor mode from Prime, you had to switch back to the combat visor. But it just does not work. I really don't mind the idea of exploring Samus's back story, but their characterization is way off and the presentation is just weak. Do it right or don't bother is my take on it. God, FFX laughs! Just awkward and creepy from what I remember, one of many reasons why that game is on my shit list of most loathed and hated games of all time.
I really miss Working Designs. Some of my favorite PS1 games are gems they put out. Not only did they pick some realy cool games to bring over, they did it with style.
I really like the first Metroid Prime, I felt they really managed to capture the "atmspere" of Metroid. I had two issues with Prime 2, one being a design choice the other being technical. Consumable beam ammo was just taboo as hell to me. I just didn't like it. The tech issue had to do with doors not opening when they should. It was a mild annoyance in Prime 2 but it got even worse in Prime 3 which to me was unforgivable. Also I felt Prime 3 was really short, and well it just felt rushed like they ran out of time and money. Plus the Wii contols would get stuck sometimes leaving you staring at the ground or the ceiling with an enemy take pot shots at you.
Although I never had a 64 I kind of remember see this one. I have the original SNES game and its pretty good. Its tough in the old school fashion of course. I've not been able to get past the second boss. Shame WD didn't get to do the PS2 port.
I kind off missed out on that stuff growing up. I have always been curious though. Got into a LARP group about 8 or 9 years ago and it was fun . But I was basically what they refered to as a "Sword Jocky" because I was mostly there for the combat. Not that I didn't like the role playing elements, it just I have always been really into the martials arts and this was one of the few places where I could get some melee weapons practice.
