Inafune’s getting a bit big-headed, and I think he believes his name carries more weight than it actually does. It’s one thing to Kickstart a game. It’s another thing to Kickstart an entire multimedia franchise, especially before your first Kickstarted game even gets released. Without any kind of running prototype, like the Yooka-Laylee, Shantae, or Bloodstained Kickstarters, there’s a lot of backing based on faith here.
I’m sure both the game and anime will eventually get funded, since people are stupid and also starving for a Legends game, but he can’t expect the same kind of explosive results he got from Mighty No. 9.
UMvC3. Hulk jumps in with heavy. You jump to block it and avoid the following command grab. Hulk’s heavy turns into a throw because you tried to block the punch. GG’s
you know i just realized that, after looking at that entire list and thinking that’s one really REALLY limited list after playing most of them really early on…
…holy fuck how much games did I actually play over the course of my life.
My 360 is telling me that I’ve played 206 games on that alone. I wonder how many that bumps up to after my playstation stuff and other miscellaneous shit
I don’t like spending money, so I tend not to buy a lot of games unless it’s something I can invest at least 60 hours into (or in the case of the Batman games, spend only 5 bucks on so there’s hardly any risk attached). Every game I own (at least from the N64 onwards) has at least a minimum of 40-60 hours spent on it. But there’s a lot of games that I’ve invested a ridiculous amount of time into…aside from the thousands of hours spent playing Smash (Smash for Wii U alone is at 1261 hours, 3DS is at 276), I probably have like 4000+ hours spent playing Stronghold: Crusader, there’s the 2000+ hours I spent playing SF x TK, at least 1000 hours spent playing the original Stronghold, probably replayed Ocarina of Time enough for 2000 hours as well, same with Majora’s Mask…then there’s the 200+ hours I spent per Pokemon game (Pokemon X was at 250, I think I hit 300 with Sapphire). And 300 hours spent playing Fire Emblem: Awakening…Hyrule Warriors hit the 100 hours mark recently.
Point being, I tend to play a game I already own and still enjoy for as long as possible (either by replaying, like doing 3-heart no upgrade runs in the Zelda games, or trying to beat a game without dying once, or just going for 100% completion) rather than buying something new. Saves money and I still have fun.
And now for people who are not from the US. We don’t play that ghey shyiiiiit.
Edit:
Po, half the games in your list are good, I’m impressed.
And of course the mm fans like zero more. He looks like Terry fucking Bogard rocking haohmaru’s sword. How in the fuck was astroboy supposed to stack up to that?
Even I don’t trash Dark Souls (any more) too many fans of the series here.
Hell I notice you only find Dark Souls boring if you just lost or suck at the game.
I didn’t say it was bad. I just found it boring; I didn’t like how the combat felt at all, and it wasn’t even all that difficult for me, which was supposed to be the point.
If I think something is trash or bad I’ll say it outright. Otherwise, as is the case with Dark Souls, it’s just not for me.
It’s a fighting game, are you really surprised by those numbers?
@LordWilliam1234 You do have a very limited resume since most of those games are considered essential playing if your grew up in the 90’s. I’d be more than happy to suggest a ton of games you haven’t played that I hope you’ll like although no gurantees as we obviously have different tastes, let me know what type of game/genre you’re in the mood for.
Anyways slightly off topic, but not really as this is the all encompassing VGG thread it’s laughable to me that some of you hold up Shenmue as some mythical, toptier posterboy for narrative and plot when in reality we all know the nostalgia of how innovative and realistic it was at the time is blinding you guys to the game’s true quality in those areas especially in 2015 when narrative and plot have evolved so much since. To be clear I’m not saying anyone who loves Shenmue 1 and (especially) 2’s story is an idiot, only that I’m willing to bet 9/10 gamers who hold up the series as one of gaming’s greatest stories have very limited experience in playing plot driven games. Like I said in an earlier post I like the simple and effective revenge plot and how it really makes you work towards that goal making any cOnfrontation with Lan Di tense, the Shenmue series has a Spielberg level of understanding suspense and build up, but having played countless games with great stories, I wouldn’t put Shenmue 1 or 2 on my top 500 list of greatest gaming plots.
See Ki Shima this is why you’re one of the dumbest and most hated posters here, you just insult everyone being a condescending snob without ever explaining yourself hiding behind a “you’re too dumb to understand my logic” mentality which ironically makes you the simple minded ignorant fool around here (among others like Sennin, Volkan, Sadist Masochist to name the obvious culprits) that you refer to us as. I at least explain my reasoning and try to understand those with differing view points before coming anywhere near condescending so read and take notes kid.
Do you feel those who started to play games in the early 90s compared to the late 90s have vastly different tastes?
Like your first console was a SNES or Genesis compared to PS1/N64 or even Dreamcast/PS2/OG Xbox era.
I feel the people who started with the SNES/Genesis would agree more with those who first system was a NES or even an Atari. They still get concepts that a game story can be game play driven rather than told via cut scenes, or better graphics don’t make a better game. Then again I was one of those gamers who was not enameled with early polygon graphics, and served a poor substitute for how advance 2D sprite based graphics as gone.
People in who started in the late 90s have a harder time relating to earlier titles because it was out side their time-frame and they consider these games obsolete (even if a older title is quintessential or superior in quality).
I don’t care about Dark Souls and I completed it blind as a challenge from a friend. Most of its difficulty was just the input response being shitty and people in the game barely letting you know where to go next (better catch it the 1st time because they won’t say it again). After beating it, I have no desire to play any of its sequels or “successors”. I like hard games, but DS just wasn’t that entertaining to me. Not everybody has the same tastes.
DS had perfectly fine controls. The input response is great, it’s just not DMC where attacks happen in the blink of an eye, there is wind up and recovery on most everything.
