Sonic Lost World Zelda DLC Available To Download For Free Tomorrow, March 27

I’d have bought Tekken Wii U if it was like Tekken 3, which is my favorite fighter next to Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, SoulCalibur II (Link or not), & Virtua Fighter 2.

I enjoyed Dead or Alive Dimensions. & while I enjoyed Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition, it didn’t really have any unlockables (I don’t count the Figurines), yet the Arcade Mode & 35 characters did keep me engaged for quite a while. But Tekken 3D: “Prime” Edition was really barebones, & the included movie had no business sharing the same card space as a game (that space & effort should’ve been spent on more modes [there wasn’t even an Arcade Mode], nor any unlockables [I don’t count the cards].

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core was brutal, though partly because I was using a Wiimote & Nunchuk. Unlockables seemed meh. I recently bought a Classic Controller Pro, so I might give it another go (& also see if Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is even better).

Mortal Kombat II & MK Trilogy were…okay, but not really my style.

I’m not much of a Super Smash Bros. fan. After the original on N64 & then Melee on GCN, I lost interest. Alas, SSB seems the only fighter around to still have unlockables & a large amount of content (too much imo). But it’s far too chaotic for my taste.

It really does suck. I’m tempted to get Injustice, but the major unlockables are DLC. I don’t wanna throw money @ unlocking characters, especially when they cost $5 apiece. & ‘Skins’ cost money, too. Where’s the fun in that? Fighters sure have changed since the Wii (except SSB). It’s not my favorite genre, but I still like them, pending there are plenty of unlockables (i.e. characters, costumes, weapons, et.), & an Arcade/Story Mode. Online ruined fighters for me w/ character-unlock parity & DLC.

I’ve owned every Ninty console since SNES. Each of my libraries, including Wii U, has more 3rd party games than 1st & 2nd. Sadly, 3rd parties only develop games that are loosely based on prior genres. Fighters have changed, & Arcade Racers have been replaced w/ *ech* open-world racers (& Crazy Taxi was such a balanced blend of the two genres). Castlevania is now open world, but I & many want the ‘Metroidvanias’ to remain (the last one was on DS [Order of Ecclesia]. Lords of Shafow: Mirror Fate on 3DS was nice, but it never reached the breadth of gameplay in, say, Circle of the Moon. GBA & DS each had 3 ‘Metroidvanias’ that were popular. But IGA has left Konami, yet Konami could still make them. Hel, N64 had 2 Castlevania games, albeit in 3D. I have MGS: The Twin Snakes & Snake Eater 3D, but I’d much prefer classic Metal Gear like Ghost Babel on Game Boy Color, but more time is spent on audiovisuals & 3D gameplay. Would be alright if there weren’t so many cut-scenes interfering. PoP has been shelved; instead of focused gameplay & environmental puzzles, there’s the willy-nilly acrobatics, 0 environmental puzzles, a glut of story, &…walking of Assassin’s Creed. Played II, got bored fast. The Survival Horror in Resident Evil is now replaced w/ shooting. I have RE 2 on N64, & on GCN have ∅, REbirth, Code VeronicaX, & RE4. RE4 was fun, but not Resident Evil. I have Revelations on 3DS; fun, but not RE. Tomb Raider (I have the original on Saturn): the exploration, quiet solitude, tombs, raiding, T-rex…gone, replaced w/ shooting, shooting, & wicked deaths of Lara. Sadism ain’t fun for me. I loved SUDA51’s Killer7 on GCN, & both No More Heroes on Wii. But Killer Is Dead is a big disappointment. Shooters? More of the Red Steel franchise, please (following what 2 was). The Conduit 3 (fixing the mess that was 2). Another House of the Dead & RE Chronicles would be great. Up, all dormant or dead. I played Golden Eye & had Turok on N64; bleh. Perfect Dark didn’t interest me. A Batman game like Vengeance, please. Another Tales game. Resurrect Dead to Rights, Skies of Arcadia, Shining Force, Ridge Racer Ikaruga, Castle of Shikigami, Muramasa… Etc., etc.

3rd parties used to make exclusives for Nintendo consoles &/or provided multiplats that catered to Ninty fans. They stopped w/ Wii U. Suddenly, a more powerful system equates to the same gaming tastes as prevelant on the other consoles. But, I mostly blame Western “sensibilities”, the economy, 3rd parties’ top-heavy practices, & investor-meddling. Add 5 consoles, one of which has 2 unique & defining control schemes & a custom (i.e. console) architecture, & PC, well, some platform was bound to be neglected (the 1 that needs the most care, of course). Mostly, they shoehorned the wrong type of games in & for quick cash-grabs. Hel, only Ubisoft provided original content while the others ported broken or comparitively costlier 7th gen games on an 8th gen consoles. & no advertising, & a bunch mistakes. I’m amazed that Wii U sold more in it’s 1st few months than PS3 & Xbox’s 1st few months respectively, & still didn’t get proper 3rd party treatment.

I own a Saturn & a PSone. I’ve played games on the PS2 & the original Xbox. I’ve played games on the PS3 & 360. (Ah, face-to-face time w/ friends). Those games didn’t appeal to me & the hardware acrually felt cold. & graphics? I haven’t been wowed since GCN’s Wave Race: Blue Storm, Luigi’s Mansion, &, of course, REbirth. I can’t help it if I prefer Nintendo’s consoles & that their philosophy, mostly, speaks to me, but 3rd parties released some fantastic titles but stopped after the Wii. @ least I’m not a drone, I guess, not that I value the standards of slander (but, hey, you might very well have multiple consoles [but are Sony & MS really that different?]. Me thinks you’re accustomed to multiplatting & therefore can’t unserstand loyalty to a unique brand reliant on exclusives w/ a select amount of multiplats. You are right about putting the games 1st (though Ninty likes to marry its software & hardware). If, say, Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts was like the 1st 2 games, I might have gotten a 360. Sadly, Rare ain’t the same, either. If the PS4 had more than just Transistor to interest me, I’d buy one.

Such a shame most 3rd parties have, imo, lost their way (& a great many devs, too). Platinum Games & Sega might be the only exceptions. @ least indies haven’t forgotten gameplay.

If I offended you, I apologize in advance. That was not my intent, but these wars, man, they distort things. Living in the trenches for so long, I might be a tad passive agressive. That, & I’m just firing this rant out, no time to edit. 1 of our M*A*S*H units just got hit.

Nah, I know the game was terrible.

I thought the game was ok :)

…loading trolls with information that can be used against you… gives you power…?
