  1. Well for one, my household was Nintendo and we didn't rent games...BUT I see your point :P

    The thing is I tried playing Secret Rings, and I played like the third level for an hour, to die the same way everytime. I dunno...he's already beat Unleashed, maybe I's losing my touch. I'ma find out later.

    Well that and Sega isn't making Sonic games for you anymore. They're appealing to the kiddies now. The night time stages? They consider that to be the main draw to the game. We're not profitable anymore. Sega's a business after all. You'd think that a speedy hedgehog with an attitude would be just fine for kids riddled with ADD.

  2. BUT, I can't judge Unleashed just yet...gonna go home and watch my bro play it on the Wii (he's 12 and he beat Secret Rings; I'm still trying to figure that one out).

    Remember when you were young and your parents rented you a shitty Genesis game, and you played the shit out of it cause you couldn't go out and buy a new game? Same thing.

  3. It's been long established the only thing left of Sonic Team is a shell of their former glory. They fuck up everything in the name for the sake of appealing to all audiences. This middle ground leaves no one happy. NiGHTS Journey of Dreams is a prime example of this.

  4. played it last night. The opening cutscene was awesome! Little friend character? That's not so bad. First level, wowowowow! That's what I've been waiting to play for years. I'll admit the controls get a little awkward in the transition between the 3D SA style running and the 2.5D, but only momentarily. Then I got to the Werehog level. Wow that was bland. If I wanted to play God Of War, I'd play God of War. I hated it even more since God Of War bores me. But I suffered through that first level. Even if it took me a few tries to beat the boss. I still don't know what I did to beat him. Then it went to the Sky Chase Zone. The boss killed me and then I realized it. I was playing a platformer with a Sonic The Hedgehog minigame.

    I'll get this once Sega releases a patch that gets rid of the Werehog.

  5. Most atmospheric, really? I can't think of any place in the game that's all that atmospheric, especially compared to Super Metroid and Metroid Prime 1... but it was your first Metroid game so I see how it'd seem really atmospheric.

    Or maybe I just thought the atmosphere was severely lacking because I was comparing Zero Mission places to the corrosponding areas in the original Metroid =p

    It's hard to beat Kraid's lair with a black background and the NES Kraid's Lair theme. It's also hard to make an area that's more atmospheric :tomatoface:

    I second this "Wut?"

    *looks it up on google*

    Ah, I see - it has nothing to do with (>'.')>

    Here be kirby dots:

    Those Kirby dots. Jack Kirby was one of the best, if not the best comic book artist. Creator of Fantastic Four, X-Men, The New Gods, and a multitude more. Obviously, he created those dots.

  6. Preordering right now. Looks like it will be an awesome experience, and i haven't really played my ds in a while. Plus i get cool bonuses if i preorder, and i like me some bonuses.

    :nicework:

    It isn't much, but it's put together nicely. I got an LP of the "Chrono Trigger Orchestra Extra Soundtrack" . It's orchestrated, track 1 is the Chrono Trigger theme, and track two is a medley. Really nice. Inside is a little paper with Yasunori Mitsuda thanking everyone for enjoying the soundtrack so much.

    This is not really a preorder bonus, it's a love note.

  7. I hadn't played Fusion or Zero Mission since they respectfully came out. So I decided to play them again. I beat Fusion yesterday and popped in Zero Mission. Now, I like Zero Mission, but I prefer the art of Fusion. It seemed more fluid. I think it might be the backgrounds in Zero Mission that are throwing me off. I know the original just had the standard NES black background, but the ones made for Zero Mission seem so much like generic stock art, like the backgrounds for custom stages in Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Although the Kirby dots are neat. Never noticed those before.

    I will give Zero Mission props for doing something that Fusion didn't get. Zero Mission's scarier. Fusion was pretty predictable. Go to X (variable, not the parasite) location, get X, fight X (variable and parasite). So you're usually prepared for the boss since you get a red X parasite from the boss door to heal you. The bosses have been just popping out of nowhere in Zero Mission. Pretty shocking for someone playing the game on sleeping pills.

  8. Yeah, Metroid is one of the worst offenders when it comes to repeating the same powerups, IMO. Of course people would otherwise start to complain "But you can't have a metroid game without _____________".

    Eh, we don't need the X-ray vision in a 2D Metroid.
