Only thing that killed me was the light dash, which careened me into the water on Sonic's military stage. That and half pipes...=(

I want Digimon Adventure so bad.Does this look like the face of someone you can't trust?
Too bad Namco's not going to release it here because the PSP is dead.
It's been a few years since I've played it, but I remember everything quite well. If I was to pinpoint an issue that was minor, in the jungle levels while you're going down the tree trunks, depending on how you're running, it can be bumpy/jittery.
That sounds more like a user error. To be honest, none of the people I've watched played the game has had the issue so it's surprising for me to see it. Especially since I have played the game so much myself, I've never run into the homing attack not working correctly.
Well, I suppose I'll abuse the mess out of it tomorrow when it comes out on 360.

Did the PS1 games ever get remade/re-released in some fashion? I loved the first one, even though I would constantly get my arse kicked by Ivymon.

Would you consider Wright more reasonable had he crossed over into a game that wasn't filled with absurdly powerful superheroes and supervillians then?
Her main gimmick gets tiresome for me, it's all whip this and foolish fool that, she's not bad but I never found her good either.
This is actually a pretty neat idea.

I guess! Tatsunoko was also released during Capcom's "Capgod" days, so I would be way less cynical about his appearance as I am now. Like most of TvC, it would just be another wacky thing they'd tried.

Re
igitize was a reboot of the series (though I haven't played it), but no, I don't remember any of the PS1 games being remade in any fashion. I'm kinda surprised they didn't end up re-releasing them on a PSP collection or something. It seems like something they should do.But now I'm remembering that this is Namco, so it probably wouldn't come out here. >.>

Do you feel the same about all the characters in Sonic All Stars Racing that don't actually race or drive vehicles?
Hot Coldman
Banned
Nah, because everyone drives vehicles. Also, that game has Sonic driving a car, so that's a real case of anything goes.
(I realise my stance on that matter is kinda hypocritical, but it's mostly Capcom-centric. FWIW, I also think games like Project X Zone are bullshit)
It's a user error if you hit the button and they just go forwards. This means you weren't locked on. It's the game's fault when Sonic/Shadow actually flies towards their target and then misses and you die. You weren't in control so it's totally the game's fault.
Well, I'll test this out tomorrow. I don't recall anything like this, though.
Well it's not going to happen all the time. Certainly happened to me a lot today.

Very good.
If it's good I should give it a try then. Thanks!

Depends on what you want from it. Consensus about that game here seems to be split (decisions about the camera, track design, etc.).
Honestly, the only person who could answer this question accurately is you.
This goes for every single Sonic game as well.

Probably the same kind of people who can play the Sonic 1 port for the GBA. Or the ones who believe Sonic needs more animal friends.
Riders? It's meh. The track designs aren't creative. However, I did feel that the Air and Turbulence mechanic was handled better than Gravity in ZG. Other than thaaaaaat, it's good for quick bursts of fun. If I could get the chance to play it again, I'd do it.

Re: UMvC3: it doesn't help that, to my understanding, Wright is bottom-tier. Like, he's not unworkable in most cases, but get to serious play and the randomness will bite you in the ass. (Unless this changed in the many months since the game came out; I kinda doubt it did.)
It'd have been hilarious if he wound up being top-tier, though.

I found the answer!
I should venture into OT more often rather than specifically finding TV/Anime/Sporting Events OTs, I guess. But half the time OT makes me feel depressed, and I don't post much there anyway outside of a few threads...
I feel exactly the same about OT

Oh wow. This is... wow
As a disclaimer, I love UMvC3 (despite the shady nature of it being released in the same year as vanilla MvC3), so I'm surely being biased in what I post here.
I don't see how Phoenix Wright is too ridiculous for the game, and it's definitely a stretch to say that his inclusion is indicative of Capcom's broader failings as a company. To provide some context for people not familiar with the game, you can also play as a raccoon with a British accent, a supreme cosmic being that's also a tentacle monster, a nefarious gigantic head and Haggar (a guy that attacks people with a pipe). Phoenix Wright definitely bumbles around more in his attack animations, but I think that just adds to the fun and humor of the character. If you ever have ever seen a Phoenix Wright player pull off his level three hyper combo, you would know how absolutely pumped an audience can get.
I also don't think that Capcom was bullied into including anyone in the game. They clearly would have put in Mega Man already if that was the case. A lot of their choices for the roster, in my opinion, are rather obscure and inspired. Arthur and Haggar are great callbacks, Rocket Raccoon, M.O.D.O.K and Phoenix Wright are very funny, and so on. Even characters that appear clone-ish on the surface (like Akuma and X-23) play very differently from their counterparts.
In contrast, much of the roster from PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale feels more suspect to me. Some of the characters are clearly there for marketing purposes above anything else (new Dante, Raiden).
You're correct. He's considered to be one of the worst characters in the game, but a few tournament players have found some clever setups for him that can really catch people off guard. He can create unblockable setups pretty easily with the Maya hyper combo, for example. The random element of his character (picking up the evidence) is actually less of an obstacle for activating Turnabout Mode than landing the objection is.

Why can literally no-one form an argument as to why they don't like NiGHTS? I haven't seen any actual reasoning on the same level of those who like the game- it's all just "hurrrr if's shit".
That game really brings out people's inner manchild.

Did Night's get a demo on EU PSN? I swear I didn't see one back on Wednesday when the shop updated, i've never actually played it and trailers do not help my understanding as to what in the world is actually going on!
Still i'll probably give it a shake, if I don't like it for whatever reason i'll promise to try and make a reasonable argument just for you Scar. I was going to lob some money on there for Hell Yeah but my PS3 does not want to comply with the game so I guess i'm waiting for a patch, but maybe Nights later today.

I think it has to be a matter of expectations. I still see people call it a platformer when it's really anything but. Because of that people go in expecting the Saturn's Mario 64 or Crash Bandicoot and instead they get a radicool sidescrolling score attack game that's short but highly replayable.
I mean I understand it not being someone's thing, but actively disliking it is something else entirely.

No-one is willing to admit they expected the wrong thing. If people would actually talk about the context they approached that game at, I'd be a lot more understanding. But they use blanket dismissal, which really grates. Creativity shouldn't be dismissed.
Shame about Hell Yeah! not working. That game doesn't seem all that interesting to me personally, but Arkedo are a good developer- their XBLIG output is terrific. I'd probably say stick with getting that, seems like a way more immediately pleasing game, which is worth more than just being able to say you played NiGHTS.

Last time I played it was when it came out and all I remember is being confused as hell about what to do because the game doesn't tell you anything.

I guess I can wait for the inevitable sale offer where it will end up a cool £3 at best, nothing to complain about at that price.

I did not. Bought both and didn't get things.
Man, playing NiGHTS just ended up making me think of the comics... and how poorly they were drawn in some places.
omg, I didn't think you were gonna do it. :lol I'm not sure if it fits because Tir's got some extra hair over there. Plus he won't ever age. >.>Of course I find out that I deleted all the hat and sunglasses so I could try and edit yours and qq's avatars. Oh well, I should be sleeping anyways

On the plus side, the game's predecessors had some really fun music. Sort of a laidback, feel-good jazz feel to it. Gotta love it.
Wow, do I feel silly now.
