Topic | New TMNT ruins everything |
WazzupGenius00 02/04/18 12:05:22 AM #96 | Regarding the weapons, there's a pretty significant portion (like one-third) of the first cartoon series where Michelangelo completely stops using nunchaku and starts using a grappling hook thing as a weapon instead so it's not like this is some cardinal sin either --- |

WazzupGenius00 02/02/18 11:46:19 PM #44 | I really need to see this in motion. The artstyle is such that it could actually look very good, or it could just be flash animated trash. Don't care that much about altered personalities and weapons, there have been slight variations here and there throughout the franchise already, might as well take it a little further Also Mirage Comics April O'Neil was supposed to be black originally according to Kevin Eastman --- |

WazzupGenius00 02/02/18 2:57:08 PM #459 | I've seen people in the arcade scene express distrust over a lot of the "old guard" arcade scores over the past few years. I believe the current Donkey Kong WR has legitimate witnesses though. Even in speedrunning there have been multiple recent cases of runs getting exposed. One guy recently got exposed for playing prerecorded Yoshi's Island runs (which were likely tool-assisted) on stream with his controller cam on, and pretending he was running it live. He got caught because his controller inputs didn't match the screen at certain times. --- |

Yeah, a common complaint I see is "I entered a jungle level and a caveman with the door in his line of sight instantly threw a boomerang at me before I could even move" but, like, that's really funny --- |

WazzupGenius00 01/30/18 2:46:17 PM #389 | Finished Iconoclasts. The gameplay was all pretty good, but I'm not so sure about the narrative. The setting was good, and the religious-political world that was set up, but I don't think I actually like many of the characters or what they do in the story. There were some key items I never found uses for, so I suspect there may be a better ending of some sort or additional content I missed out on, sort of like Cave Story maybe. I'm also wondering if dialogue choices at certain points can affect things later. Unlike Cave Story though the game is too long for me to want to go through all of it again right away, especially if it turns out that nothing substantial changes anyway. --- |

Makes things so cramped. I think the musical compositions are nice, but I don't like the instrument samples used. That final boss is bullshit, also. --- |

WazzupGenius00 01/27/18 12:21:24 PM #358 | Sprite disappearing like that would suggest that somehow your TV is displaying the game at 30 frames per second while the game plays at 60. You see this a lot when you watch videos of old games (which all displayed 60fps) where the video is only displaying 30fps --- |

WazzupGenius00 01/26/18 11:51:59 PM #292 | KamikazePotato posted... The unpatched 3DS version of DQ8 had the symphonic version of the soundtrack replaced with the original midi tracks. From what I heard, the reason this was done was legitimately because the guy who composed the original soundtrack got upset and threw a fit. The US version's soundtrack is midi, but it isn't the same as the JP PS2 version's midi, it was a new arrangement. Koichi Sugiyama the composer is pretty strict about retaining certain rights to the music he composes. He's actually a chairperson on one of Japan's major copyright administration groups for musicians. I assume he wants an additional license to be paid by Square-Enix USA separate from Square-Enix Japan for the symphonic recordings, and this is why VII and VIII didn't have them in the US. And if you ever played Dragon Quest Heroes (and maybe Builders had this too?), before you start playing for the first time you have to agree to all these extra rules regarding streaming of the game because of its music. His strictness about this stuff is not the only thing that makes him an asshole. Check out the "political activities" section of his Wikipedia if you're curious --- |

WazzupGenius00 01/26/18 10:03:33 AM #354 | iiicon posted... Iconoclasts is super charming. It's getting talked up a lot as a metroidvania but it's really not. It's a much more linear, focused experience, although individual levels have a wide design. The boss fights are great, too. I've done five and each one has been challenging in unique ways. Expanding on the not-quite-Metroidvania designation, konjak specifically cites Metroid Fusion and Monster World IV as the inspirations, so that should give you an idea of how it works. --- |

WazzupGenius00 01/25/18 12:07:32 AM #322 | Yeah I don't think indigenous representation or accuracy has become more prominent as a vector of criticism since then, it's pretty much the same. I wonder if that game "Wild" that Michel Ancel was working on is still happening, it looked even more appropriative than Horizon Zero Dawn was. --- |
