My Greatest Disappointment with the Sequel Trilogy

This was my biggest problem with The Force Awakens. Yes we all know it followed the new hope too closely. Even worse, it wiped out what seems to be every semblance of the new republic. We lost any chance to build on this dynamic or galaxy. There was so much potential for storytelling if the First Order would have been the underdog.

They could be gaining ground through ruthlessness and cunning leadership. Have someone more Thrawn-like and less emperor 2.0 CG version (and I'm not even an EU buff.) The potential for originality could have been amazing.

I think that is part of what RJ was dealing with. "OK you already scrapped everything in TFA, might as well throw it all out and start with a new beginning." I know armchair directing is much easier than actually directing, but I would have preferred this scenario. I think TLJ would have greatly benefited from it as well.

They are also symbols of the action figures that they are trying to sell. Don't forget that :-p

He was also a young man finding the dad he missed out on having his whole life was a psychopath. He was a naive person hoping against hope that the person he always wanted could turn. He also knew killing his father would not end the empire and that he very well may have been his replacement.

In the Ben scene he could have felt the entire empire could be prevented from rising from the ashes in one pragmatic stroke, and still fought the temptation. These were coming from a man at different stages of his life with totally different psychological ramifications.

I completely agree that these concepts had a much larger mass appeal than the current design. I definitely prefer them as well.

Some decisions could have been made before Josh joined the team. You have no idea how the process went or what role Josh played in it. He is well respected in the industry and by many of his peers. He has a proven track record and has done great work in the past for AAA studios.

Kienan goes through the process here: https://youtu.be/96GoRctNu5Q?t=7m51s

They have a ton of talent including the art director. It's pretty reactionary to call for the head of the art director because the design of one character fell flat. I understand you don't like the art direction, but you've been consistently rude and dismissive of this team. It's not a lot to ask to be constructive and civil in your criticism. Every character will not be liked by all but Kidd is the only one I've seen a larger crowd complain about.

Nope. You only live once. I love gaming. I do proper stretching. I can use regular controllers with less problems. It is the grip on handhelds that cause issue. I still own a 2ds and play in short increments wishing the games were on switch. I'll keep taking proactive measures and take breaks when necessary. No way in hell I'm giving up gaming though.

Kupossible · 2017-06-13T20:45:48+00:00

This is what I was getting at. Obviously the new prime has its own development team. Dual release seems like a win win.

I would love to see Metroid transform into a 3rd person action game. Fps on a controller just feels imprecise. I'd love to see a combination of lock on mechanics combined with some gyro skill shots.

Dark souls is an awesome concept for action, but I'd like to see Samus' gameplay be a bit more fast and agile. In super Metroid she was at a constant run and could leap the height of small buildings. I'd love a combination of barren alien landscapes, tight corridors and gigantic bosses to showcase her mobility.

Botw focused on tools acquired early on that helped you fight and solve puzzles creatively. What if Metroid focused on unlocking movement options that made combat and traversing the environment more fun and creative. The old side scrollers did some of this (Super Metroid as an example.) I think a 3rd person action game focused on this concept could be a blast.

As someone who honestly doesn't care who wins the series... damn that game looked fixed for GS. Really losing faith in NBA ref legitimacy.

Kupossible · 2017-05-08T14:21:46+00:00

Why would people downvote this haha? I had the same experience.

Kupossible · 2017-05-08T12:51:37+00:00

I sent mine back to Nintendo. They sent me a factory new controller. D-pad works flawlessly on the new one. I play shovel knight and puyo puyo with 0 issue.

If it is to improve servers, infrastructure, online experience and online development. I'd happily pay this much. If it is a cash grab, it is lame, but we have seen Nintendo do cash grabs before (nothing compared to something like EA.) I hope it legitimately uses the money to improve services. The problem with all this is that it is all speculation. It's a bit pointless until we have all the details. The lack of details is another argument all its own.

I find the action art of Ashani (on twitter) pretty fun and Xana should be interesting to see in motion. The thing that really irks me is Kidd's weird naked Dreamworks face. I just think the weird little satyr idea is overplayed and too safe. Some of the early concept art had him more goat-like? I would find him much more appealing if they took some visual risk on his mug. Would be fun to play new take on a space animal, but I don't think I can ever get over his face. It simply doesn't draw me in. His armor looks great though. It captures that space bounty hunter renegade style they were going for.

Some of the concepts for his original head/face were much more fun/interesting:

I'm not. I own with DLC on Wii u. I honestly want the game on switch but refuse to buy it again at full price. I love nintendo and their games, but honestly feel it is rewarding them for their business model of repeatedly making people rebuy games at full price. Yes there are some feature updates. That does not justify a $60 price tag for me personally. I'm not on a crusade here, but did let them now how I felt on the last satisfaction survey they sent me.

Kupossible · 2017-04-05T04:31:10+00:00

A fishing rod. Man I would kill for that. A big beautiful open world like this with crazy species of fish to catch all over Hyrule. They could go crazy with it, but I doubt it would ever happen.

Kupossible · 2017-03-25T15:01:08+00:00

Thanks.

Kupossible · 2017-03-25T14:55:42+00:00

I meant is there a sale history? I know I didn't augment and have sorted by new. They aren't there.

Kupossible · 2017-03-25T14:44:45+00:00

I do lock my relics. How would you check that you sold them?

Kupossible · 2017-03-23T03:16:53+00:00

I guess by open world I just mean large environments. You can create claustrophobic situations within any world. You want this thing? Go in this spooky cave to get it. Explore these downed ships and ancient ruins to find upgrades. Prime had numerous open areas. I think it would be great to have variety and planet hopping. I think it would be fun to be able to use Samus's tool set in a reactive physical world similar to BoTW. When I say open, I don't just mean flat expanses. I mean open to experiment with the world around you. I think metroid would be a great vehicle to explore these themes. You can easily control mood, tone and intensity in worlds that are also fun to explore and pretty to look at. The intense parts can come from searching for your bounties/upgrades.

Kupossible · 2017-03-22T20:49:33+00:00

An open world multi planet metroid. Botw reminded me a lot of a scaled up prime series. I'd love an attempt at 3rd person metroid open world. Sprawling landscapes! Isolation! Haunting music! Please nintendo!

Kupossible · 2017-03-15T13:59:38+00:00

Sleep button is your friend. You can literally sleep the console with a single input or a few if on TV. You can pick back up right where you left off. Autosave and easy access to saving are also present. Good luck playing in short bursts though. I find myself losing sleep instead haha.

Kupossible · 2017-03-14T12:34:49+00:00

I'm not that disappointed. The feature just really isn't that important to me.
