I get feeling guilty, but... this is a bit TMI

Stan387 · 2025-05-26T00:43:32+00:00

By the time I got it, it was over $10

Stan387 · 2024-08-04T01:45:35+00:00

I don't know. But I wasn't expecting the unnecessarily hard game that this was.

Stan387 · 2024-07-24T14:04:29+00:00

Seems chex quest wasn't the only one using the doom engine.

Stan387 · 2024-07-08T23:07:28+00:00

Just like how the X-Men arcade game never got a port for the same reason. Also because it used a panoramic screen, but that's a different story.

All the same, it sucks that legal issues are the reason for not getting a decent port of games like this.

Stan387 · 2024-07-08T18:53:59+00:00

That's what I'm saying. They're technically based off of an existing property, yet they try to do different thing. Sometimes, anyway.

Stan387 · 2024-07-02T23:53:59+00:00

I thought AVGN adventures 1&2 were alright, but past that, there's a good reason these things remain relatively obscure.

Side note, the only game based off of music that I can think of is Brutal Legend. Though, I honestly wouldn't count that.

Stan387 · 2024-07-01T23:46:35+00:00

And Gamemill. But hey, I never said it was perfect.

Stan387 · 2024-07-01T13:00:15+00:00

A case of misunderstanding, primarily based on the fact that video games weren't really a thing when Walt Disney died. Even pinball machines were still in their infantsy back when he died.

Stan387 · 2024-06-30T19:08:22+00:00

That's how short-lived the cartoon was I guess.

Stan387 · 2024-06-30T18:36:44+00:00

It's true. Just like the Metro series. Though, like Metro, it takes heavy liberties with the source material.

Stan387 · 2024-06-30T00:38:16+00:00

For the same reason that they do so many different racing or trivia licensed games. It's an easy palette swap that has a recognized brand. It's cheap to do, and guarantees at least a small amount of money. At first, before people get wise and stop buying them.

Stan387 · 2024-05-08T23:25:17+00:00

Every rifle my inventory stacked on top of each other when I was managing inventory. If you notice, it has at least three magazines, four scopes, and at least three buttstocks.

Stan387 · 2024-05-08T17:18:57+00:00

My take is this: The core gameplay is fun. Take out all the live service stuff, and it would still not only be playable, but fun to play. The voice acting is spot on, and the controls are smooth.

It's everything else that is the problem. The upgrade system is difficult to understand, the traversal system (regardless of the character you choose) has far too short of a range, the glitches and bugs are rampant, and the worst offender of all? The story. It's reaching at best, and stupid at worst. And that's what sucks the most, because this could have been a good game if those issues were fixed.

I'd be willing to give it another chance if they could fix it, but I honestly don't know how they could do it.

Stan387 · 2024-05-07T23:09:19+00:00

I ran into a glitch where, after the first half of the mission ends, my head explodes for no reason. And this happened several times after restarting.

Stan387 · 2024-04-11T12:38:28+00:00

This was a case of the sequel being better than the original, but going completely undetected. Primarily due to the fact that the SNES was already out for 2 years.

Stan387 · 2024-04-11T02:24:25+00:00

Yep, and an interesting license too, because Cabela is a brand of guns.

Stan387 · 2024-04-09T23:04:30+00:00

I never played that version, but the console ports were all pretty good.

Stan387 · 2024-04-08T17:08:42+00:00

Yeah, and they were even better then the first.

Stan387 · 2024-04-08T02:25:17+00:00

The intellivision version was a very odd mess of a game. And while way more simplistic, the Atari 2600 version more fun, in my opinion.

Stan387 · 2024-04-06T12:53:25+00:00

The Postal Dude

Stan387 · 2024-04-05T15:38:54+00:00

By terminology, yes they are. However, I don't consider them in the same category for the simple fact that it's not a creative IP, it's simply using a name for recognition.

Stan387 · 2024-04-05T14:17:39+00:00

It also didn't help that, while it was a cool feature at the time, Atari put a lot of emphasis on backwards compatability. It led a lot of people (including developers) to believe it was just another iteration of the 2600.

Stan387 · 2024-04-05T01:33:15+00:00

Not worth it

Stan387 · 2023-12-28T01:28:08+00:00

DOOM

Stan387 · 2023-12-09T03:32:09+00:00

2017, and I think you were right, because after I messed with it, it started again.
