The start of it is pretty lackluster...

And from what I've seen, repetitive dungeoning continues.

Even me?

Course you are. Look at that avatar. That smiling face is automatically animated inside my mind as blood starts dropping from the eyes, the hundred mouths start opening all over the sky and the universe falls prey to your hunger for souls.

Odd, you should be able to IIRC. Even playing the PSX version on the PSP I remember being able to do it even if it was damn uncomfortable due to lack of L2/R2 >_>

Dunno what's up. What I played of the game, it wasn't incredibly exciting.

Hmm, by Namco's fighters, does he mean their games or their characters?

No idea. My guess is that he doesn't want to have yet another crossover fighting game.

I've been wanting a DC one for years, and when I got one, it was an average crossover with the Mortal Kombat universe. ;;; Life is hard.

Talking about Hitomi, are we? Well, I remember a thread where she just called the majority of RPM "weirdoes". Those were good times.

I still haven't met a single one of you who isnt a wierdo. Heck, I'm a tremendously gigantic wierdo to most people. It's probably why I like coming here.

Real quick, why don't you like ZX? Don't wanna get into to it too much, i'm just curious.

...mostly the gameplay. I guess it's pretty standard fare in Megaman games, but while the simplistic "can't duck or shoot up" gameplay was fun back in the old 8-bit titles and heck, even excuseable in the X titles, it made me just quit the game and sell it right away on this one. The Zero series seemed a bit more manageable for some reason, but I just played the first game and didn't even like it that much.

(I'm more of a fan of the old original series games, Maverick Hunter X, Powered Up and the first BN game. Other than that, can't say I liked the other Megaman games.)

Actually, Hitomi is a chick. A little ball full of hate that doesn't mind sharing with you her hatred. Now, she wasn't the kind of person to cause net drama, she would just share a few hatred-laced sarcastic sentences with you, which is strangely, what people like about her.


I always had a feeling she always hated me the most though. I bet I was kicked out of the IRC channel more times that anyone else by her. I feel special.   

I call everyone dude. Girls can be called dude too. Dude-ette never really caught on.

And this kinda makes me want to meet this guy.

I agree with Past Flash and think the graphics are good.
Present Flash is synical, but that will pass. These aren't even finished and even then, they are the release titles. Compare Dawn of Sorrow to Order of the Ecclair.

With enough time, we might see a sequel to Spirit Tracks that rivals or exceeds WW.

I want to see them pull off a stereovisual 2D game where a whole sets of sprites are made for each eye's POV.

PS: Future Flash is(will be) enjoying his copy of MMZX3. In which, Model Z is playable and the levels have multiple layers of 2D along the Z-Axis. Or is it the X-Axis in 3D Geometry?

I also think the graphics are good. I just want to know what kind of graphics we'll have in the first place.

...and I would be enjoying it if I liked the games.

I'm sorry you thought the ingame graphics were going to match a single character model spinning?

"graphics seemed really damn good in the presentation."

Next time specify you are refering to a single character model spinning and comnparing it to ingame. I was not aware the "presentation" you saw was such.

And why the [tornado fang] would I want to do that? I said the graphics looked good in "the presentation", without specifying any demos or trailers. I was pointing out my concern because this recent article pointed out that the hardware won't push the graphics as hard as I originally thought. No, I didn't think the graphics would match a 3D model spinning, but Nintendo isn't one to "bullshot" people. They're not Square-Enix. Once they release screenshots, a game usually looks like that and the system runs it as such. So, yes, I expected the games to look good. And if stuff like Kid Icarus wowed me, it still wasn't the "Gamecube-level graphics" everyone is hyping.
I was voicing a concern I had for the hardware. If you didn't understand what I was talking about, I don't know how the [tornado fang] it is any of my problem.

The graphics looked good to you, but now you are disapointed because someone said(implied) they weren't good? If you like the graphics, that seems enough. How can the graphics be below the PSP? Are they not, at all, considering the 3D being part of the graphics?
Imagine the PSP doing this. It would probably halve or reduce by a quarter the polycount and the resolution would be about 240x272. Even more sacrifice to the polycount if it was 960x272.

I'd like to see a company make a game that is meant to be played at 800x240 with no 3D, or maybe a game that uses a form of interlacing that would result in 800 wide 3D image instead of redundant columns that result in 400 wide.

PS: If it is backwards compatible with NDS games, why is the bottom screen 320x240 wheb the NDS screens were 256x192?

I love it when people read what I say. Unfortunately, this isn't one of those times. Although the graphics looked really good in the small demo presentation the 3DS girls were showing around, they didn't move alot, and we just saw some small scenes being shown and 3D models turned around. I expected the games to actually go that far. The stuff we saw of Kid Icarus, while impressive, didn't go to Gamecube levels. This article is a look at the actual hardware, and it says that as the console will make a bigger effort to display the 3D, the graphics won't be as good in ACTUAL games. Nothing's certain as of now, and I wanna keep believing that I'm gonna be able to play Mario Sunshine on my 3DS, but for now, it does look good. It looks really good. What I'm dissapointed about, is the graphics shown in those latest videos Vixy linked us to, which are probably unrealistic compared to the actual things the console can do. Still, we can wait for results instead of wondering about it.

Last I remember, she said she got tired of the "chan faggotry" here (which is confusing, since I rarely see much of it beyond my own posts ).

She just stopped visiting one day, and that's pretty much it.

"chan faggotry"? What's that?

i want to really like this, but the fact that 3D cinema gives me a massive headache makes me a skeptic.

however, my brother wants this really bad. i get to keep his old fatty classic DS. B)

I hate 3D cinema as well, and can never watch it right without my eyes starting to hurt, but aparently, this uses a much simpler effect. And don't forget that the 3D can be turned off at anytime. So I guess pretty much every game can be played without 3D.

And for everyone thinking the 3DS will be a powerhouse, I got kinda worried when I read this: http://kotaku.com/5568573/nintendo-3ds-vs-psp-vs-iphone

The Nintendo 3DS is a big step up power-wise from the Nintendo DS. The stickler is that, as HCW points out, the Nintendo 3DS apparently has to work harder than the Nintendo Wii!

The reason that the Nintendo 3DS has to work so hard is that it has to do two times the effort to reproduce the 3D effect in the machine's top screen. According to HCW, that could mean there won't be super detailed 3D graphics. (Perhaps below PSP or iPhone 3GS level.) The draw for the Nintendo 3DS is ultimately the 3D and what kind of experiences Nintendo can offer. And for current Nintendo DS owners, the graphics will look eye popping. Literally.

I'm a bit dissapointed, specially because these graphics seemed really damn good in the presentation.
