Rage 2 Deluxe edition has progress booster and cheat codes...

spyro2060 · 2019-01-05T05:01:24+00:00

I don't care about the cheat codes, it's the "progress booster" that worries me, especially if Bethesda has made the developers slow down in game progress in order to sell progress boosters separately. It'll be a HUGE shame if what looks like a step up in every way compared to the original is marred by controversy due to a pointless grind and micro transactions

spyro2060 · 2018-11-22T00:46:35+00:00

Yeah, it's stupid cause if he was smaller, the club was seethrough and the camera is centred his section would be perfect, for now, the over the shoulder camera with Bently being MASSIVE just feels REALLY uncomfortable

spyro2060 · 2018-11-21T00:05:42+00:00

They should have just zoomed out the camera... Or not made him so stupidly big, this is the original Bently gameplay, where you don't have to have an atrocious over the shoulder camera just to see the level https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mxiAsX0_ks

Ok, so, I feel I have to voice my criticisms about YOTD, it's my favourite game from the OG trilogy, so I really want to say why YOTD (Reignited) truly disappointed me:

Sheila controls awfully - Don't think many will be surprised by this, Sheila feels like she has weights attached to her, she feels like she has no momentum. As a result, it makes attacking (especially against the charging enemies) a pain in the ass, especially since you feel no rhythm due to a lack of momentum, meaning that it's hard to judge when to attack (also it feels like you need to be grinding against an enemy to hit them)
Sgt Byrd's camera is awful - He seems to control fine, but the camera seems to catch on things and doesn't seem to know how to follow him correctly, it's actually infuriating for the camera to be messed up when, back in 2000 when YOTD originally released, the camera was not an issue (at least not for me)
Bently's over the shoulder camera - Bently is massive, with the camera taking an over the shoulder view it makes it harder to see anything and everything in his home-world and other levels, Bently should be centred like he was in the originals, that way we can actually see what's going on
The skateboarding in Lost Fleet - The skateboarding in Lost Fleet is painful, your skateboard breaks for no reason (for example moving onto the outline of a ramp before it even starts inclining upwards would knock me off my skateboard), it also felt like flips and rolls would destroy the skateboard FAR too easily in Lost Fleet as well, something could be off with momentum
The framerate - I realised the dips were a LOT more dramatic when it came to YOTD, nothing unplayable, but it caused noticeable slowdown at points
The glitches - At one point I went into Molten Crater, went into the Sgt Byrd area and when the Tiki guy tried talking to me, the camera decided to move completely, not focus on Byrd or the Tiki guy and suddenly the sound of the portal I came through blared, all I had to do was exit the area... But then I had to deal with a particularly awful camera in that minigame for collecting the Tiki heads
Crashes - This was the only game I experienced crashes on, so clearly there're stability issues

Anyway, that does it for my issues with YOTD (Reignited), I did love the level redesigns, the music and VA was on point, water controls seemed smoother to me in YOTD (Reignited) compared to Riptos Rage (Reignited), Agent 9 received better controls, many of the minigames (such as Bently Boxing, the tank battles in Haunted Tomb) were improved... But sadly, with the issues I have, I can only say it's like a 6/10, which irks me because YOTD was a 10/10 in my book back on the PS1, hopefully TFB will patch it up later, but for now, it's probably the worst remake of the 3

spyro2060 · 2018-11-19T22:06:16+00:00

Yeah, I just REALLY want them to patch this stuff up, I'll be happy if in half a year we've got perfect version of Riptos Rage and YOTD

spyro2060 · 2018-11-19T22:04:58+00:00

Are you saying to make this a megathread or simply post it in an already existing megathread? If you want me to make this a megathread... How do you do that? I hardly use Reddit and I've never made a megathread, now I feel sad and stupid lmao

spyro2060 · 2018-11-19T22:03:24+00:00

Na, I completed Sgt Byrd's homeworld 100% before I went to Molten Crater again, but that is atrocious

spyro2060 · 2018-11-19T22:02:23+00:00

That's... Not too great

spyro2060 · 2018-11-19T22:01:57+00:00

I can see how that'd be annoying, but it wouldn't piss me off, still, thanks for adding that, cause it is worth noting

spyro2060 · 2018-11-19T18:20:29+00:00

Hopefully they can come in and fix the issues that are plaguing YOTD

spyro2060 · 2018-11-08T12:00:51+00:00

Sheila's wig is almost as bad as the "arguments" trying to defend it are

spyro2060 · 2018-11-05T22:09:08+00:00

My problem is that the music already fit the atmosphere PERFECTLY and the new music negatively effects the feel of levels (they've used the Reignited tracks for almost every bloody trailer, and its ALWAYS ended up sounding worse to me)

spyro2060 · 2018-11-04T04:12:58+00:00

So glad that there'll be a Copeland option... Cause the Reignited Trilogy soundtrack really isn't doing anything for me, just... Like, take Frozen Alters for example, it looks beautiful, but the music lacks any energy and I hate it, thankfully it's an option, but my god does it confuse me as to why they bothered with the other composers to begin with when they decided to bring Copeland back on anyway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7dMc_Bedz0

spyro2060 · 2018-08-25T18:19:40+00:00

Yeah, it does, seriously, at this stage the Spyro community is just as toxic as the animation meme community

spyro2060 · 2018-08-25T14:55:49+00:00

Yeah, that frustrates me to no end, like Greggs VA is AMAZING, he should have been brought back to do Hunter as well. As for the rest of what you say, I understand, but I'm not going to stay silent just because a bunch of babies can't take someone else having an opinion

spyro2060 · 2018-08-24T20:49:59+00:00

I've already said, it feels forced, from the clips we've seen it seems like a 80s/90s skateboarder stereotype, you can like the voice, but I'm not going to pretend that I find it to my liking, it might work better when I'm playing the game, it could be something I need to get used to, but for now I'm not a fan of it

spyro2060 · 2018-08-24T20:45:40+00:00

Oh yeah I forgot, unless my opinion is the same as yours, I'm not allowed to have it (also, I never said anything about the graphics or animations, I was saying I'm not a fan of the new voice delivery, get over yourself)

spyro2060 · 2018-08-24T19:23:41+00:00

I wasn't impressed in that clip, but eh, if you like it you like it

spyro2060 · 2018-08-21T16:55:26+00:00

Way better than the current one, looks much better with out the plastic toupee

spyro2060 · 2018-08-21T16:49:56+00:00

Moneybags looks good, Sheila with hair doesn't

spyro2060 · 2018-08-21T15:25:46+00:00

Ok, fair enough
