TrishaCat Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 Â I like that music track Speaking of Xenoblade, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 releases in one and a half hours and apparently Kos-Mos (Xenosaga) is in it. Who hype? Also Xenosaga HD Collection when? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuujou Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 JRPG's need to start using Mo-cap or something. Xenoblade's animations and models in a lot of instances are fucking horrible. Like in the first hour I was wincing at how awkward the characters look and move. Xenoblade 1 and 2 weren't paragons of graphical fidelity, but I didn't wanna cry when Shulk moved his mouth like Rex. And Sharla's hips weren't broken in 4 places like the 3rd tiddy waifu I've seen in X2. Game's fun though. And I like Rex as a character at least. He stuck it to my least favorite character so far the first interaction he had with her so that was enough for me to like the mouthy guy immediately. Most protags usually just eat the shit snooty characters like that give them. haha Seems a bit slower than the last two games though.

Tsuujou Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Metroid Prime 4 is rumored to be co-developed by Namco-Bandai. If thats true and depending on what that means, IÂ guess I can forget the dream... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But something like StarFox is far more suited to Namco than an atmospheric Aliens inspired nonlinear adventure. I really feel like theyd just make Other M 2. I dunno. Guess we'll see assuming its true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assault definitely isn't the worst shit ever. It had fun couch multiplayer, the flight sections were great, and the art direction, at least for the vehicles was some next level shit. But it was short and the on foot missions were skimpy. I feel like if they went back to it, it could be something WAY better today. Like if Platinum tried again and didn't have Miyamoto over their shoulder. That shit could be HYPE. It came at a bad time before third person shooters really got a solid foundation after Gears showed how it's done. I think any 5/10's at the lowest is pretty fair. I like it a fuck of a lot, but it's admittedly average. (It's funny because it shares the same problems with Rogue Squadron III and is a similar game) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's barely any character banter during missions making them quiet and giving the characters very little....character. There are constant mission briefings that say nothing about the mission other than that "its dangerous" even though by virtue of being a mission bringing you closer to Andross, its of course going to be dangerous, thus taking up time that could be spent playing and adding nothing to the game. It has almost no plot whatsoever. Sound effects are too loud and muffle the music. Besides Assault, I'd also argue 2 is a better game than 64 as well thanks to the larger playable cast and time requirements/strategy element in trying to pick your battles wisely to make sure Corneria doesn't get attacked while you're still able to take on missions to push forward.

Ok, none of these points are fair at all. Especially that first one and especially especially that 4th one, m' boy. lol It's an arcade game. That's the root of the series. Also, I feel like you must not have played much of the game if you didn't catch a lot of what was going on prior to the missions or the sheer amount of character dialogue. General Pepper and Fox discuss exactly what's going on at the start of each level and there's a brief cutscene that gives you visual clues as to what's going on (all of which you can skip after the first time you've watched it). For instance, Aquas. You're told Andross has a bioweapon in the depths of the planet's oceans and that you have to take the Blue Marine to destroy it. Before you embark, the scene shows the Great Fox submerged in the ocean launching Fox in the Blue Marine beneath the surface which shows you that the mission is going to be in a totally different vehicle and environment. And the whole level, Slippy is talking about the technical aspects of the submarine and Falco is berating him. This is literally every level of the game on all three routes.

TrishaCat Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 First off I'm going to apologize because I really have only played about an hour of Star Fox 64 (got the first ending and then didn't play it anymore). I really was being unfair towards 64. Not a huge fan of the game but I'm certainly not being fair towards it. However.... NINTENDO DIRECT Dark Souls Remastered, The World Ends With You Final Mix, Ys VIII, Payday 2, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and Hyrule Warriors are getting Switch releases. Pokken Tournament is getting new DLC with playable Blastoise and Aegislash. Kirby Star Allies has a demo out and comes out in March.

Yep 360 emulation still has a long way to go but its making good progress and there are quite a few games playable on it and many more ingame. OG Xbox emulation has like....2 games I think that are ingame but not fully playable and that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
