Hence me being mystified by all this hype. It looks like a polished third-person actionRPG, but there's a lot of those.Alot of those? Name one that uses scenery for cover, that features third-person shooting mechanics, and in which NPCs matter to combat. Oh, and with no transitions.
I see nothing new here.
Nothing's too damn bad to see. NOTHING!Dude, this is MUCH worse than Transformers 2. Transformers 2 might have been bad, but it's the kind of movie you go watch, talk with friends and enjoy the cool big robot fights and explosions. It's a brainless movie. This? THIS? This is a failure to even be a movie. It's like the Big Rigs of movies. Every single actor acts like he or she is reading from a script directly in front of their eyes, Events jump from one part to the next. Everything's changed for the worst. Roku's a dragon now. The sceneries look like they came from this old japanese crappy movie set. Appa and Momo appear, but aren't really explained, or have any chance to interact with anything. It's one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Honestly, I think Dungeons and Dragons The Movie was better than this.
I mean, someone said this was worse than Transformers 2, which is a BOLD statement, so now I'm curious. I might just go see this in theaters one day.
Hmmm... You're right... I missed that.Watch the TV series instead. This... it's just too damn BAD.
And now, I feel compelled to watch this even more.
Funny how the TV station here is re-airing the animated series...
I thought the spinning was due to the camera panning over... ._.Camera spun clockwise. Rock spun counterclockwise.
As much as I understand you completely, I can't agree. In my opinion, turn based games have as much of a place in gaming as experimental RPGs with more focus on the actual action. I see it as two different styles that both bring something fun and new to the table when done well. Things like this though are subjective though, so I respect your opinion on the matter of strictly turn & menu based RPGs.Of course they have a place in gaming. I've got nothing against one or two series keeping the style. Persona for example, is still a very valid example of the use of such a gameplay mechanic, and it uses it very well, given that the battles and movements happen quite fast, without need for useless extra pretty animations. Nostalgia also used it quite well, seeing as it's trying to emulate a classic RPG with an adventurous story. I'm just saying it shouldn't be used for new kinds of RPGs, because the genre needs to evolve. As long as gaming can evolve on all genres, I'll be happy. And as long as hardcore old-school gamers continue to cry over the loss of gameplay in their franchises while I laugh and jump around mocking them, I will be very, very pleased. =D
And the really pessimistic guys goYou know what? I am LOVING IT. It's absolute paradise. Every single damn weeaboo is going crazy for the way japanese gaming is finally evolving, changing its ways, making the gameplay better and more accessible for everyone, due to the current technology. I've loved the last few years and how gaming keeps thinking up more and more crazy [parasitic bomb]. And I hope it never ends.
"GAMING IS DEAD, BOOHOOHOO"
Looks polished but I wouldn't say awesome. I guess if you were expecting turn-based random encounters, Fight Whoosh and all...Oh, silly person. RPGs where you traverse a world with a single avatar only to be bogged down by an endless myriad of random moments where the game transports you to another ground where you're unable to move, and your only imput is to choose between options on a menu that leave you open for damage everytime you finish attacking... are dead. Most RPGs have dropped that mechanic, even Final Fantasy is slowly getting rid of it and adapting other things. Dragon Quest will eventually follow it. RPGs need to evolve. Heck, yesterday, I read one of the truest blog posts I've ever read from Penny Arcade:
When Cliff Bleszinski says that shooters are the future of RPGs, he's not wrong; late, but not wrong. The original Modern Warfare is as much an RPG as any other game that toils under that yoke. Play it, and tell me it's not: you earn levels and equip items, customizing your character along three distinct trees. In the sequel, even your Goddamned perks level up. I assume I don't need to bring up Borderlands. RPG's are the present of shooters, assuming they aren't the ancient past.
I'm hesitant to guess how many hours we played Phantasy Star Online. Released when dial-up internet was still a thing that people did, you could tell immediately that you were engaged in something which was unmoored from linear time. Deep loot tables, omnipresent robo-pets, and weird crap like language-independent chat wrapped up in a singular look and accompanied by tremendous music. It was too beautiful. We didn't deserve it, and yet, there it was.
I can't really discern the difference between a "Multiplayer Action RPG" and a "Horde Mode," except to say that the second one is a less robust version of the first. In such an RPG, "playing against waves of AI Opponents" isn't an aberration, it's Tuesday. Also, every other day. You've played PSO, or you should have: how many times did you enter a discrete hunk of forest, only to have bipedal moles raise their claws skyward in defiance? I never got sick of it, it was always ridiculous, and their hilarious, wholly unfounded optimism never wore thin. Today, I couldn't tell you what the pertinent stats for a Phantasy Star Online character even are; just that they would dance o'erhead from time to time, swelling with their increase, and that it was enough.
Compare that to almost any other game where "waves" of motherfuckers arrive perpetually, and there is no comparison: in one, an overarching framework conspires to lend every game event greater meaning. In the other, you are shaving away the hours until your own death. Horde was that strange mutant that survives the rigors of its accurs'd birth, a way to recontextualize the assets already on-platter: in essense, to use the entire buffalo. Pragmatic. Now the Goddamned thing is everywhere, shaking the underbrush, a snuffling boar cropping up in every disc I insert.
This mode of play is crying out for definition. Discipline, even. I'm tired of waiting for the stupid future; I want to know what's next.
That rock... Flew so slowly... D:And SPUN. Why does it SPIN? Because it's on a [tornado fang]ing WIRE.
*Wipes away a single tear* Love is a wonderful thing alright.Making it is the best thing.
I sometimes post into threads before checking that it is the correct one...This is the Random Fact thread right?It's written on your damn browser window and you have to CLICK on it in order to post. How hard is it?
I doubt it's anything I really want. But we'll see.What do you want?
Because it's a bright and shiny racing game reminiscent of Diddy Kong Racing?Because it's better.
From 1upIf they can seriously pull that off, I'll be both amused and awesomed.
Honestly didn't expect the models to be about the same quality as MGS4. And CO-OP sounds pretty sweet.
