Animal-Mother posted:If you wear a helmet you better watch the gently caress out, Kid Chameleon is strictly picking fights with helmeted dudes. You find and equip the helmets to gain new suits giving you powers and abilities. That's Kid Chameleon wearing those. This reminded me of another bad to middling game I rented a lot for some reason and that's Rocky Rodent. You gained new powers and abilities by equipping different hair styles such as a mohawk you could throw like a boomerang and some big cow lick that let you climb platforms.  I also rented some game for the NES that was essentially just MSPaint with a roaring tiger on the front of it. I was disappointed it wasn't some cool tiger game but I still had some fun with it because this was well before I had a computer.

Do not adjust your screen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHMuwlchhmM Deadly Premonition is my favorite video game of all time and I'll never play it again. It took me days of calling every Gamestop in the outer 'burbs of Tampa to find a copy. It cost more in gas to drive out to Lutz than I paid for the game. Nothing since has put me through the gamut of emotions as that one glorious playthrough. Frustration, disbelief, disappointment, a not inconsiderable amount of anger, sadness, bemusement, happiness, and a sense of total contentment afterwards. The graphics are, for the most part, simple to the point of looking like they didn't get very far out of the development phase (because they didn't). The character animations are rudimentary and bizarre. It performs like dogshit on 360, and was straight up broken when ported to PS3 and PC. The controls are clunky and imprecise, with some of the most horrid driving in any video game ever. Combat feels very... half baked and tacked on (because it is). The overworld is far too large and empty to make travelling through it fun, with the terrible minimap not helping at all. There are absurd difficulty spikes during cutscene QTEs. Even the more interesting gameplay ideas, like time sensitive events/minigames during the day, are an absolute mess. The thing is a complete and total slog, from beginning to end. But. BUT! It drips with charm. Each major character feels like a real person, with their own motivations, their own little lives going on. The bar feels like a real place people get together to relax, the diner itself has more personality than GTAV's San Andreas. Every location feels lived in; used, cared for, abused, or abandoned. DP's story (and I'm being careful not to spoil anything here) goes off the rails in the most delightful Twin Peaks fashion. The game makes no loving sense, while being totally coherent. The devs really poured their hearts into a game that fails very badly at being completely terrible. I can't say enough about Deadly Premonition. What I can say wouldn't do it justice. Play it. Just once. Trust me. madeintaipei fucked around with this message at 10:47 on Aug 23, 2023 |

WILDTURKEY101 posted:Probably the most mediocre 5/10 videogame ever My friend and played a lot of these 5/10s on the gen1 Xbox. Rent, play for a weekend then try to forget. Like this game. Pretty bad gameplay and everything else. But there was a character named Tanaka that was weak in this one mode so we called him tough actin' Tanaka and got some laughs out of it.  And this dumb game. IIRC it'd track 3 parts of the body where your shots hit so you could maybe claim nut shots. There was this one game mechanic where you'd kick the walls to reveal hidden stuff and the image while co-op mode was this awkward boot that'd fill most of the screen.

I tried so hard to love it but, aside from the clever way you lose limbs as you get hurt, the game is just not good. You can't really tell from the video, but I remember the game feeling just horrible to play. Jank incarnate. I remember it being really hard too, but I was, like, 6 at the time, so I was hardly a seasoned Pro Gamer by then. edit: Hilariously enough, here's the entirely of the company's history, according to the "List of Acclaim Entertainment subsidiaries" wiki page: "Flying Edge was a division of Acclaim that was founded in 1992 to publish games on Sega consoles.

You can't really tell from the video, but I remember the game feeling just horrible to play. Jank incarnate. Ah man, as much as I loved the Crash Test Dummies toys, that game was still a solid "once and never again" rental, which says a lot considering my age, intelligence, and selection to choose from at the King Soopers. Which reminds me, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers on the SNES was a beat-em-up and I remember looking at the back of the box thinking "dang, this game looks awesome." I had a Genesis though, and our version was a crappy fighting game. It's kinda fun to pop in now and then but such a disappointment at the time. From skimming wikipedia, apparently they both kinda sucked. Also lol at Billy being a pudgy kid in the SNES version for some reason. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7BRvTyhuNY&t=480s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y67DNsZw_yg

Still worth dogpiling on it tho. Cybiko seems like something I would have gone crazy for if I knew it existed back in the day. Though I lived in the middle of BFE so it's not like I would have had anyone to talk to on it.
