Ah, sorry, didn't see your "but one."
Remember back when Nintendo doled out that "seal of quality?" Good times.

I just read on the Wikipedia that the developer is working on a patch to address the control scheme complaints that would support the Classic Controller. If true, I'm very happy about it.

Wow, nice. How's that Sea Monsters game? I watched the Discovery Channel special, which was pretty good.

.....yes?
What more do you want? I'm kept very busy by the stack of Wii games I currently own, alongside all the VC and WiiWare games I've picked up lately.

My problem with Twilight Princess' art style isn't so much that it tries to be realistic and fails. It's clearly a further evolution of Ocarina's aesthetic. However, I get the feeling that there was no clear art design concept from the get-go. The art direction is all over the map as a result.
And I agree--I would have liked to have seen much more Twili characters and Twilight environments. They had a very alien look to them.

Yonkers is where the US Army had its first failed assault against the zombie apocolypse, according to "World War Z."

Beat the damn scorpion last night thanks to my new ability to strafe. Still took forever, though. Using my new equipment, I zipped around Area 1 nabbing as many upgrades as I could. Tonight: Area 2!

GC games that were "easily ported" to other consoles, thus UncleBob has little to no interest in them:
Viewtiful Joe
RE4
The Wii version of Silent Hill was the lead skew, the PS2 and PSP ports were cash-grabs for people who bought SH: Origins.

Wow, okay. That should make the scorpion boss...easier? Hopefully?
It's bad enough that I'm switching weapons with the A button. Holding down B sounds sucky, but I'll be trying it later tonight...
To be sure, I do like the game. It's very colorful and action-oriented. But yeah, I really wish there was CC support.

Unless the reviews come out HATING it, I'm definately game. I'm not a big loot gamer, but I do like the idea of killing dragons and dinosaurs with swords. The very idea that this could be an ongoing weekly thing with fellow NWR colleagues and forum-goers makes the game intensely compelling.
...Now I need Wii Speak.
Instead of telling me what nights will work, I'll say what won't: Every weekday before six p.m. Zachlaska time, Wednesday nights (podcast recording) and probably Saturday night.
Otherwise I'm pretty wide open.

« on: February 09, 2010, 05:25:14 PM »The NES Blaster Master was a Adventure Shooter that shouldn't be compared to Metroid AT ALL. Both are completely different games with completely different gameplay progressions.
...Though that's personally just me. Better get a Wii Points card to try the game out. (is there a demo of it?)
Didn't Nintendo just take all their demos DOWN (which, if true, is completely boneheaded)?

Heck, I doubt the developer determines price point. EA probably slapped the $50 price tag on DSE and then forgot to market it. I feel sorry for Visceral.

No, I don't think DSE should have EVER been $50 (it was $50?!). Maybe $40 at its initial launch, drop to $30 a month or two later. I got it for free, so...yeah.
That's another problem this generation: price inflation. It's ridiculous that HD games cost $60 a goddamn pop, but what's worse is that consumers support it. I wait until inevitable price drops, and I think a lot of other people do to, but not nearly enough to drop the initial price across the board. And quite simply, a lot of Wii games should not be $50 or even $40 at launch. If third parties want to sell games, they should market the damn things, and maybe make the price more attractive at launch.
@Arbok: Yeah, I have the same problem going into Darkside, too. They came out like two months apart, and Darkside was certainly the "better gamble." I'm happy to say that DSE turned out better (IMO). But I see what you're saying.
It's like back when Ubisoft released BG&E and Sands of Time in the same month. Epic fail.

Look, Dead Space Extraction was a great game. It's in my Top 3 for the year, seriously. EA didn't market it and Nintendo didn't give two craps about it and, honestly, the light-gun market is kind of flooded already. As a result, it sold extremely poorly.
That says nothing of its QUALITY. It is a QUALITY product, and I urge you all to check it out. Another game I bought and love: Let's Tap, though I'm struggling to find a "perfect box." Would you consider that to be "shovelware?" It's incredibly simplistic and experimental, but I think it's a quality product--I have a good time with it.
I think the core problem here is that when it comes to almost all 3rd party games and even some 1st party games (*cough*Excitebots*cough*), consumers are being forced to do the research themselves or rely exclusively on box art and price points. That's not fair. Third parties are actively supporting the console, but nobody is throwing money at the PR situation. Thus, Dead Space Extraction sells extremely poorly, despite its quality.
I didn't read the whole thread up until this, so maybe I'm repeating points already made...
