Guest C.M. Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) Picked up the Ico collection for $20. Finally. SotC is still phenomenal, I get chills every time the music swells around a Colossi and then the change once you finally embark on your climb. The HD paint is pretty nice but the most noticeable thing is the performance. IMO what keeps this game from aging poorly is how impressive the animation stuff is. the music makes those boss battles for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrFL2zPc2uk 1:35 Edited August 2, 2012 by -CM- Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What I find amazing is that, yea sure the PS2 had problems running the game, but this small ass team was pushing the hardware in ways never seen before. The animation, the scale... everything.

Hot Sauce 2,734 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Man, Oath in Felghana is fucking rough. Playing it on Normal and it took me at least 20 tries to kill each of the first two bosses, considering bumping it down to easy but the regular enemies are already super easy so the non-boss segments would probably just get tedious if I did. Are bosses pretty frequent and/or can I just run past the regular sections without worrying about being under-leveled later on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,930 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) jagged alliance back in action is surprisingly good now thats it all patched up. the meta game is really intimidating tho, and you only get enough money at the beginning of the game to buy like 2-3 mercs, so having to defend and attack sectors with a single squad makes it feel way more intense than your average TBS game.

Sabo 442 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Godhand. The camera and control quirks were easy to overlook before but now not so much. I don't think the combat holds up that well either. The game is still good but I don't enjoy the game as much as I did before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Delita 698 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Kingdom Hearts 3D seriously has some of the stupidest, poorly thought out mechanics i've ever seen in a game. You play as 2 characters with their own focus. In any other game the game would be perfectly designed to incoporate them into a single storyline, shifting back and forth between intervals. Or in some other games the game would just have you chose at the start of the game which to play as. Here you play as both at the same time and you manually shift back and forth with no logic or reasoning as to why rather than just because you want to. It makes no sense because I'm noticing them referencing stuff about the other character that i haven't got to yet in their storyline. The worst part is the idiots thought it would be clever that if the game feels you've spent too much time playing one character's story, it'd automatically throw you into the other character, EVEN RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BOSS BATTLE. And when you shift back you have to restart the entire boss battle. I wondered how Square could pump what 'looked' like a solid entry out so quick, when (good) KH's usually take years of development time. BBS took 5 years, KH3D only took 2. Now after playing it I'm starting to understand. The game is so fucking sloppy and half-baked Quote Link to post Share on other sites
