i'm pretty sure it was Super Mario World. unless i played Megazone before then. if so, SMW was still the first game i ever saw.

i'm thinking SS could bust out some slick sword moves. all Segs has to do is watch a few episodes of the Future Trunks arc.

alright, i can live with the sword. but the armor is just plain stupid. if they really wanted a gold knight, what's wrong with just giving Super Sonic the sword?
my expectations are a few points lower now. come on, Sega. prove me wrong. i DARE you.

i'm not going to give a verdict till i actually play the damn thing. cause my inner childhood compels me to try it out. but lessons learned from recent Sonics:
1) NEVER judge a game by its trailer.
2) expect the worst, so if it turns out to be crap, you won't be disappointed.
you totally missed the point.
which move now?

sounds like something 4Kids would say. boobs in Yu-Gi-Oh are actually paintbrushed to look smaller.
They're espicially apparant in Brawl.
Peach's boobs aren't any more standout in Brawl than in any other game. Samus' do catch my attention, though. and Snake's.

you know, i've never actually paid attention to Peach's boobs before. they've never stuck out to me. maybe because they're not all that big? if those are big to you, i want to hear what you have to say about Dead or Alive.

Satoryu's Top 10 of 2008
10: Mario Kart Wii
Princess, Mario, and the Toad
Does it beat Mario Kart 64? [tornado fang] no. The randomness to skill ratio is still way too icky. But comparing to Double Dash and DS, this is probably better than them if only slightly. The cast of characters has been expanded a lot, from dispicable inclusions like Baby Daisy, to really nifty things like your Mii, to flat out surprises like Funky Kong. Bikes are very fun to use, and actually obsolete the karts. The stages and music are also pretty good. If you can't get a hold of a better Mario Kart, this is your best alternative.
9: Soulcalibur IV
Voldo will be naked in the next game
I loved SCII, but I hated SCIII. SCIV is definitely a step up from III, but is still a ways off from matching II. The cast is very good. The fighting is rather fluid, and has an appropriate difficulty. The Story mode is nice. Custom characters are very fun to make. Not much else to say, except the Star Wars people are really unnecessary and broken.
8: Rosenkreuzstilette
They can't speak German worth shitte
Technically, this game came out in 2007. But it was December 31, 2007, and there's been revisions since then, so this is an exception. I was disappointed to learn MegaMari was more bullethell than Mega Man clone. RKS still has some bullethell moments, but not nearly as much. It's a much more faithful Mega Man clone, almost feeling like a real Mega Girl game, just with different female archtypes/fetishes in place of robots. It even has a playable Zero equivalent. A very nice surprise. Can't wait for the interquel.
7: Bionic Commando Rearmed
You're going to make my head explod
I'll admit, I'd barely even heard of the original BC when this came on my radar. But the bit of footage I saw was all I needed to fall in love with it. Rearmed is a very faithful enhanced port, making appropriate stylistic changes along the way. A kickass soundtrack, drop down funny moments, and the opportunity to blow Hitler's head into at least 27 different fleshy pieces.
6: Mirror's Edge
And I ran...
The whole concept of the game was a selling point. A first person platformer with an emphasis on speed. It's hands down really fun to play. Also, though it's set in the future, it's colors are bright and vivid. A breathe of fresh air from the grays and browns of every other game today. Also, there's DLC levels on the way that look even better than the core game. I can't wait.
5: Banjo Kazooie XBLA
Bear and bird goodness
I could have had this for free. $15 is too much for this. Nevertheless, actually playing this game again was so refreshing. The jump to HD was seamless. The game plays just like the original, and sometimes even better. And getting the Stop n Swop items without having to put in a code feels awesome.
4: Castlevania Order of Ecclesia
Looks delicious
Shanoa is a terrible character, I can't deny that. But does the story really matter? Gameplay is definitely up to snuff with the other Metroidvanias. The Glyphs handle very well. The new enviroments are kinda nice. The music is the best on the DS. And Albus is really fun to play as. I don't think it quite tops the other DS games, but it's still a very strong game.
3: Mega Man 9
I fired a C Shot
Hands down the biggest surprise of 2008, and the best downloadable title of the year. Who the hell needs charge shots or sliding? The game is incredibly fun and addictive without them. The addition of time attacks, the shop, and DLC is pretty nice, although the DLC could be better. The weapons are top notch; none of them are useless. Music is great. Overall, execution is top notch. Is it better than the NES games? Too early to tell. But it sure gives MM2 and 3 a run for their money.
2: Super Smash Bros. Brawl
BFF
As I expected, Brawl beats the pants off of Melee. The level of fanservice has risen exponentially, and so has the shear amount of content crammed into the game. It has one of the biggest and best soundtracks ever to grace a videogame, almost everything is 2 players, and it's like 2 games in one, considering how extensive Subspace Emissary is. Snake and Sonic are really nice treats too. We'll be playing this for a long time, and I bet even tourneyfags will stop bitching after a while.
1: No More Heroes
Mister Sir Henry [chameleon sting]er
No More Heores is easily the best 3rd party game on the Wii, and to me, even beats out Ninty's own. Combat can be repetetive, but it still remains fun, and it has a level of complexity to it. The oddjobs are kinda limited, but that con is outdone by bosses. They're all fun to fight and feel like life or death situations. The writing and characters are top notch. And it's just so stylish. I want to see more games like this.

« on: January 15, 2009, 07:35:52 PM »Name me one game that did something different in recent times and succeeded... you'd be very hard-pressed to find one that hasn't already suffered from one of the above.
this may not be the example you're looking for, but No More Heroes has quite a few stand out features from games of today. it's stylistic gore as opposed to realism, characters that are psycopathic yet also have some real depth to them, much brighter colors make it stand out in this gray-and-brown generation, smaller importance on motion controls. and it must be doing something right for it to get a sequel.
back to female leads, Faith is actually a very strong lead who isn't very sexually charged at all. sure she's pretty, but not at the va-va-VOOM level of someone like Lara Croft. she has actual beauty in her design, respectable beauty. her character is far more important, and far more interesting. if she hasn't won some Best New Character of 2008 awards yet, it's a damn damn shame.
Obviously you can't make a serious female protagonists because then she's automatically:
-Lesbian
-GRRRRRRRIMMY
-A [classy lady]
-A [sonic slicer]
add emotionless shell to that list (looking at you Shanoa).

to be honest, some of his complaints i do agree with, like 3 and 4. everything else though is pretty much either rambling or Wiihate. i'm really tired of the 90% crap argument.
on the female lead thing, very few games actually have strong believable female leads. most of them are just there for fap material, FFX-2 being the biggest example.
and he think Sonic Unleashed had good actors? nooohohoho sir. everyone sounds terrible in that game. but it almost sounds terrible on purpose...

you get a respect cookie.
reviewers were commenting on the orchestrated soundtrack. so far, that description was very misleading to me. going into the game, i guessed that the soundtrack would be much like that of the title screen, which is blatantly riding off of Mario Galaxy.
but the soundtrack itself is actually very varied. and if there's one thing Sonic games do right, it's music. only complaint i have is the song that plays during a Werehog fight. it's not all that great a song, and it really doesn't need to replace the stage music. i hear it way too much. i'm probably not even a third of the way done with the game, and i'm sick of that song.
