Things won't be the same it seems. Too bad but not much can be done about it.

That's pretty awesome... here's to hoping the game itself is as awesome.

Eh... while Xtreme 2 is indeed a more solid game than the first, saying it controls like the home console games is taking it a bit too far. I prefer having a separate button for dashing, and I found the slide motion to get in the way from time to time.
Anywho, I'm honestly looking forward to Other M quite a bit. I get the impression it's going to be more linear than what I'd prefer, but that said it still looks fun.

Zero Mission has always been my second favourite Metroid, to be honest. Fusion had a lot of ideas that I liked, but I wasn't a fan of the locking of sectors off (much like most people).

I liked Scott Pilgrim to a certain degree, although I do agree that the supporting cast is far stronger for pretty much the whole series. I have yet to see the movie, but I'll be looking into it. The game looks interesting too, despite its dev.

« on: August 15, 2010, 05:44:28 AM »sucks for you, then.I think you misinterpreted his post. He was explaining why he's for Link being silent, but he thinks the NPCs should remain silent as well to keep the illusion going stronger. I'd have to agree with him in this case.
I disagree.
Having him not speak is one of the things that makes him a unique character in my book. We already know that he is an established hero/warrior, and it's really up to the player to decide how exactly he relates to the situations that follow throughout the game; whether it's trying to rescue the princess or pressing onward to defeat Ganondorf. To me it's almost like having a created character, and (as cheesy as it may sound) going through the game somewhat through your own eyes. It also creates a slate for people to speculate on what type of personality Link has. And even then, Nintendo has had Link demonstrate a variety of facial expressions (like the feeling of "shock", pain, joy or nervousness).
Link is already given courage and bravery, and that should be enough.

That was an awesome read. It's nice to hear that they got things pretty accurately for the most part (although not perfect by any means). No surprise about the fighting in the game not being realistic though, that's to be expected

Admittedly this is Team Ninja so anything could happen I suppose, but I doubt much will change aside from the heels.

Too bad there's no Gears-style co-op mechanic, that would have sweetened the deal.Yeah... would have been hard to put co-op in there when the time slow seems to be rather important, judging from some of the stuff I've seen.

I like that they got all the different people who voice acted as him in the more recent shows to do the voices here. That said, I'll reserve my judgment on the game itself for when it comes out. It's looking good so far, though.

It would be cool if they brought the damn games over, but that doesn't seem likely with their track record. It's too bad really, considering the gradually evolving battle system used in Tales games is one of my favourites as far as JRPGs are concerned.

Gaming / Re: The Capcom/SNK Playmore Debate
« on: July 23, 2010, 08:07:19 AM »
I liked that SNK tried new things with their characters for each installment. On the other hand, this usually made it a tad more difficult to get into a new installment right away, due to the modified movebase.
Also, I dunno about the stereotypes part. I'm pretty sure there's a few in there.

It's amazing how quickly post-Maridia bosses go once you realize that.Depends on the boss, not to mention the fact that there isn't exactly much post-Maridia (well, on the regular path that you're expected to take anyways).

This time, we see 1 or 2 of the characters, mainly Carmilla, and what would seem to be her daughter. Maybe.
Anywho, still looking forward to it. The little Vampire Killer jingle at the end was a nice touch.

« on: July 22, 2010, 01:56:43 AM »They're only decent in Prime 1, and only if you rapidly alternate between A and Y to cancel the cooldown.Yeah, they can be handy depending on the situation. Otherwise they mainly went into the special missiles. It wouldn't surprise me if they're not that useful here due to the way they have to be used.
In the 2D Metroids, missiles were plenty useful. Being able to spam them into targets that are stuck on a 2D plane generally helped their usefulness. Bosses in particular were rather susceptible to them (ie. being able to kill Kraid with Super Missiles in Super Metroid before he fully spawns in).

The missile expansions adding only one missile might feel a bit awkward at first, but they probably had a good reason to go that way (probably game balance in general).

I watched Voyager much longer than I should have, really. I really liked the concept, and I guess I really hoped it would pan through. Unfortunately, that didn't quite happen. There was moments where it's potential shone through, but it never quite lasted. I still have to go watch later on in DS9, since I had given up on it when it was still in Soap Opera mode.
As far as the topic at hand, I'm looking forward to see what they show. Not getting my hopes up for anything, mind you, since I know better than to do that
