Bleck Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 um there are a lot of different kinds of 'fusion' and each and every one of them is usually just rock or jazz but with an extra instrument Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Metroid Fusion was okay but getting chased by X sucked. At least it sort of brought back the Omega Metroid [more metroid games need the Metroid 2 mutations] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eten Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Metroid Fusion was a great revival of the 2D Metroid saga and very healthily extended the Metroid timeline beyond the Super Metroid masterpiece. In fact story is Metroid Fusion's is imho its strongest point and I couldn't be happier with the direction and development Metroid Fusion had. Otherwise, its difficulty was well set, perhaps the best of all of the 2D metroids, the various additions to and returns to of the 2D Metroid gameplay were mostly perfect, and its largest faults were the forced debriefing sequences holding up the game on repeated playthroughs and being trapped onboard a space station than the much more enchanting subterranean and alien atmosphere all previous Metroid games had provided, which was somewhat had to do with the fact it was graphically less pretty than Super Metroid just before it, which is a hard previous title to match.

Bleck Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I really hope any sequels, story-wise, to Metroid Fusion keep the sidescrolling 2D format as much as I did like Metroid Prime and such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Yeah I really liked the Fusion arc of DBZ, definitely one of my favorites, mainly because it introduced Gotenks. After that the rest of the Majin Buu fights dragged on a bit too long for my taste, but the fusion saga is definitely up there. :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLyGeN Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I think VMWare Fusion is just for mac users who are too stubborn to admit they really wish they had bought a PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamermcchester Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 I dunno how we started talking about metroid and stuff but that's cool... And yes I realize that "fusion" is a broad genre term, that's why I was looking for people who liked people in the list that I compiled... In the meantime I found this website that sounds like it's gonna be pretty good once it's out... www.retroremixrevue.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwaltzvald Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I think VMWare Fusion is just for mac users who are too stubborn to admit they really wish they had bought a PC. This can not be emphasized enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamermcchester Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 haha...RedFusion... I got it. No but seriously... I do like fusion. Nobody else huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I like fusion. In fact, I play in a fusion band at school (keyboardist.) If that's a style you like, check out Joshua Morse's mixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwaltzvald Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I have heard and listened to some but I just simply hate the term (anything-fusion) as the term seems ostentatious, inflated somewhat... Not a very good explanation but still, I just simply dislike the term "fusion anything" and vice versa when in comes to music... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamermcchester Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Alright, everybody just forget that I said the word "fusion." Just pay attention to the artist list. Apparently a lot of people get bent out of shape when you say the F word, so we'll just forget it ever happened. Amen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olarin Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 All right then, how about a desparate, misguided, futile attempt to throw the thread back on track? I'm not as well-versed in the genre as you apparently are, but I certainly enjoy Return to Forever and Weather Report, and I'd add electric violinist Jean-Luc Ponty to your list. ...Also, VMWare Fusion is great. Nothing wrong with running Windows stuff on an iMac (which I bought mainly for Logic Studio), it's a good machine for some situations. Wait a minute - crap, I derailed the thread again!

gamermcchester Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 What Return To Forever albums you like? i like: Theme To The Mothership Romantic Warrior Where Have I Known You? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Romantic Warrior is easily my favourite fusion album. When I saw Return to Forever in concert at the end of June, they played half the album, and those were the best tracks. I also love Joe Zawinul, both with Weather Report but even more with the Zawinul Syndicate. Taking the brief glimpses of world music from Weather Report's music and expanding on them in his work with the Syndicate produced what I think is his best music, as well as introducing players like Richard Bona to North American audiences. As a keyboard player, my two biggest musical role models are Jordan Rudess from Dream Theatre and Zawinul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamermcchester Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 My buddy went to the Return To Forever reunion show that you saw... He said it was incredible and now I'm kicking myself for not trying harder to get tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
