*rant*Now you know how I feel about Journey of Dreams. I think we're done.
....DO THAT OUTSIDE!
Which of you know, what am I referencing here?
Also, Zero dies 2 times and has the weak sauce to get controlled by helmet with tentacles. Then he has the nerve to go and permanently kill himself in his own series. Obviously, this man wants to DIE.In all fairness, X frequently has someone to save his ass (Zero in X1, Zero/Doppler in X3, Light in X5). Nobody really threw Zero a frikkin' bone outside of his own series.
It's also why Zero hasn't given up his virginity yet, as he's a silent rapist (how else he can't score with a single chick?).Zero may be the most stable of our heroes with the ladies, given that he is the only one to have gotten an actual date. X is pathologically oblivious and will remain so until Alia gets the nerve to blitz him (which is probably not too far off given her wardrobe change in X8). And Axl fantasizes of having a busty ninja stalker.
http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=125964They probably mean "close to the 360/PS3" in the same way that the PSP is supposed to be "close to" the PS2. In other words, the gap is noticeable, but the smaller screen size lets the system get away with more.

Still not as bad as Shadow was.I resent that. Shadow is a solid game that needed only a few minor tweaks to be much better. Two main issues are that missions are overly strict (artificial Chaos hunting is a pain in the ass), and the last boss split doubling the number of possible endings was sheer lunacy. It's not a bad game, it's just laid out in such a way that you'll be damn sick of it by the time you get to the Last Story. But it beats the hell out of Heroes.
Voice actingShadow, Sonic, Amy, and Blaze are fine. Tails and Knux take a *LOT* of getting used to; they've both seen better days. But since Sega keeps shafting Tails anyway, I'm sorry to say it's not very noticeable.
- Unlockable characters with no specific gameplay changes aside from a few things few people care are not extra characters that matter in the least.This is why we can't have a decent Tails. Or Super Sonic.
- Have you considered that special detail in whatever motion you make is kinda stupid to specify when you suddenly want to press an imput in the blink of an eye?When the same device controls your spin-attacks? Absolutely not. Two actions to the same motion sensor mandates that a specific motion is required. And the setup is perfectly logical. A broad-side smack for hitting with the shield, and a random shake/swing for the spin attack (another thing I like, quick-spin is actually reliable). I see no issue whatsoever. Helm Splitter is my favorite attack in the game.
voice acting.Didn't say it was epic, I said it was better than NiGHTS. That's like saying any given cartoon is better than Sonic Underground.
Sonic 06Lacking a 360/PS3 makes that difficult. Even so, you can at best hope to promote NiGHTS to 2nd worst new-age Sonic Team effort. And given how many Sonic projects have been churned out, that's still saying an awful lot as to how horrid NiGHTS is.
As for boat-Nights, what bothered you about that? I think it was actually a fish-Nights, and he transforms automatically the moment you touch water.I am not in the LEAST referring to NiGHTS's forms. I'm referring to a specific stage where you are required to navigate NiGHTS down a river. Control in said stage is a nightmare, regardless of input device. I can only hope your lack of recollection means it is not seen again, but frankly, once is too many.
It worked like a race track, you did small jumps for small obstacles, and big jumps for big obstacles. What was wrong with that?Sliding around prior to any significant jump (the need for short hops is pretty rare) gets old very fast. It means you must slow or stop virtually every time you want to take to the air. Frankly, it feels intrusive. For all the bitching any other Sonic game gets about any gimmick whatsoever interrupting speed, the Secret Ring's charge jump is the among the most frequent and awkward interruptions. It didn't stop me from enjoying the game, but it never once felt natural.
Not to mention extra characters didn't make much sense to begin with. And not much change, either. Why do you even want extra characters?Two words: CHAOS PUNISHMENT!!!
The nunchuck imput didn't only not feel natural at all, but also it didn't register all the time when you tried to do it by impulse.I laugh at your weakness the same as I laugh at that of people who can't make Godzilla pick up a building. You are most likely positioning the controller incorrectly. Your shield is not a sword, ie, you should not be making a stab motion.
but I was only making the point that compared to some other Sonic Team effortsSonic Team is usually better about control inputs. And visuals. And voice acting. And while they plague Sonic games with unrelated play styles that only serve to bog down the player, I have yet to see the Sonic gimmick that is more offensive than boat-NiGHTS. And this before I even *REACHED* the children segments.
So just do yourself a favor and find a way to play the original Nights.Believe me, I want to, but Saturn emulation is hell. PS2 remake may not be a bad idea, I already have a swap-disc for Namco X Capcom. Poking around moonspeak menus isn't my favorite thing in the world, though.
Megaman X Command Mission (Don't ask why >_>)...you're REALLY tempting me.
or actually try to improve any of their game mechanics by a tiny bit. Playing it "well" is ahdering to the developer's little world of getting used to a game awkwardness in every single way instead of the opposite.I've said it many times and I'll say it again, it's control-wise a VAST improvement over Secret Rings. No matter how awkward you might think of a sword as being in a Sonic game, Brake buttons, charge jumps, and reverse-tilting are a lot worse. And I actually do like Secret Rings, so, yeah. Black Knight, to me, is an extremely solid title. Not flawless, but definitely among Sonic Team's more enjoyable and consistent games.
using a functional second analog stick for camera."First person adventure." This is why I hate actual FPSes. And to a lesser extent Hunters.
Zelda is a specially dumb game to apply those mechanics to, seeing as the sword swinging lagged a bit in comparison to actual button imputPersonal preference. Lag-adjustment is simple, and it's more immersive. I will concede, however, that thrusting should not involve an analogue stick. That's launch-itis for you.
and to apply targeting, the entire game had to be mirrored.I don't buy that as anything but a "quick and dirty" solution, since mirroring a character without mirroring the world should be plenty possible. I also don't give a damn, because:
But heck, if people play the game like that and SEE it's abysmal, why not try the other controller setting? Seems dumb to carry on such a thing.If that were my only problem with the game, fine. But it's more of a "last nail in the coffin" thing. There's plenty else wrong with it. And I know from reading rants that there's plenty MORE wrong with it that I have yet to experience. I'm not exactly willing to kick myself in the ass to endure that when I have other games sitting around unfinished.
Only games aren't meant to be enjoyed only when playing them for the second time flawlessly. They're meant to be enjoyed with intuitive controls and method of play. I'm not gonna try and search for a way to play this game "which the developers intended" just so it doesn't run like crap when I play it. It's supposed to be intuitive and the player needs to be able to do it in his first try, no matter how incredibly tough it might be. It just needs to be possible.It's very well possible, just not as fast or easy as later. People in BK make the mistake of constantly approaching enemies with jump attacks, which is great when you need the timing or the change of angle, but not for EVERY SINGLE SCHMUCK TO CRAWL OUT OF THE GROUND. If the player can't get the lunge attack through their head, that's their own problem.
99,9% of the time, the new setups never work as well as the original ones.Metroid Prime, Mario Kart Wii, Godzilla Unleashed, Mario Power Tennis, Zelda...
No, it's essential. Gotta reserve all the hits you can take if you want to survive the Bospider!
