/vr/ - Retro Games

It's barely even finished.

This game broke my heart. It was supposed to be so fucking good. The lack of a weapon combo system was really disappointing as well.

Nothing will beat this fucker right here. Haven't tried 3 for years because of it.
I hid the game in the closet under the boxes so I wouldn't have to look at it.

I kind of like Devil May Cry 2. It's fun in a broken way.

>it's so "released 5 years later, on a different platform, made by an entirely different team"

>>8247193
I think it's broken in the most boring way. I've tried to beat it and just roll with it when HD collection came out and just couldn't. It's not that it's just broken, like say some shitty port or movie tie in, or like "haha it's so bad".
It's just painfully boring.
The perception of the sequel was different back then for me at least, it seemed like "we are going to do it better than ever before".

>>8247163
Seeing the cut stuff and that the whole intention of the game was some crazy run through classic Sega is just sad. I always hope a beta with this stuff reinstated somewhat makes it out.

>>8247245
Look for one of the previews on YouTube which shows some of the bosses which are inexplicably stationary in the final game actually attacking you.

>>8246929
It was obviously unfinished, but it was still better than Advance Guardian Heroes, that one was a flaming trainwreck.

>>8247529
I remember playing through that once and enjoying it, but I’ve never played the original for comparison

>>8247183
It's so bad. I don't think I'll ever replay it or ever play the second disc

>>8246929
>Most disappointing sequel in gaming history
Mario Kart 64

You can't rotate the title screen like in the original/10

The story is at least as good as the original's, but the gameplay...Jesus Christ...this has to be the most dumbed down sequel ever, mechanically.

Check out Warren Spector's interviews about the game, there are some juicy cuts in there, like how he wanted to get away from the "intellectual college graduate" audience that was "stifling" DX.

>>8248251
Never did actually play it. Is it more or less dumbed down than Human Revolution?

>>8248265
I love how the source of this is so old it still says "deus ex 3" and no one ever fixed it.

>>8248270
Human Revolution at least tries to be an RPG.

>>8246929
Gunstar Super Heroes? More like Gunstar Super ZEROES amirite? GBA is fucking overrated and all its games are soulless with dogshit audio though so I wasn't surprised.
>>824693seven
B8. Barely even going to acknowledge this faggot.
>>8247183
This was a big fucking letdown right here. The game is so fucking easy and casualized it's comical. Good for a laugh and then never to be played again.
>>8247202
Is this one of those messy localization fuckup situations? Because I remember Blaster Master 1 wasn't called that in Japan and its story had nothing to do with frogs.
>>8248251
Okay game on its own terms, but yeah compared to its predecessor it's very underwhelming and casualized.

Pic-related singlehandedly made Contra an irrelevant series and damaged its reputation forever. Blows my fucking mind that they still make top-down shooters in this series like Rogue Corps instead of sidescrollers to this day.

>>8248670
No. Blaster Master 2 is just plain garbage.

>>8248670
>messy localization fuckup situations
Not really. It was just a bizarre followup that was kinda miscellaneous to the original thing. Not to mention it just wasn't very good in substance nor gameplay.

>>8246929
I hated this when it first came out but once I got over there not being weapon combos and just approached it like it was any other run n’ gun I realized it fucking rules. Melee stuff is really fun in this game.

>>8247183
God this game is irredeemable. I tried to like it. I really tried. There’s nothing to like here

>>8247183
you can *literally* beat 90% of the entire game spamming guns. It's worth getting through it, you'll feel such a whiplash when getting to DMC3.

>>8246929
Lack of weapon combo was everything to me even though the action moves are crisp and functional.

>>8249334
oh no guns aren't useless like in every other game how horrible

>>8246929
With the exception of Ikaruga (port), Mischief Makers and that other n64 game. All treasure games on Nintendo consoles were bad.

>>8248251
The dumbing-down still would have been playable to me, even though it's less interesting and less rewarding. But feeling like I'm constantly in a small box passageway was so continuously bothersome that it killed the game on its own for me. I was already there to play the shitty movie I expected, but not ready for an 8 hour cardboard tunnel crawl.

>>8249780
are you seriously defending dmc2
what the fuck is wrong with you
the problem is that the levels are all fucking giant empty spaces and 90% of the enemies and bosses don't know how to actually hit you. the game designers failed to do their job if you can just double jump spam guns and beat the game fine

>>8249780
>Stands in place holding square to defeat several bosses
Wow this is great game design definitely better than cool combos

>>8249781
The Bangai-O games

>>8249781
Mischief Makers is bad.
>>8249886
Spirits on the DS sucked.

>>8249906
Spirits is good

>>8250018
Nah. The level designs are a huge step down in quality from the console BGOs.

>>8249780
You clearly haven't played DMC2. Most standard enemies can be beaten by standing in place and mashing square. Hell, there's even a boss that you can beat by standing still and shooting at him. There's no reason to use your sword, ever. Guns just beat everything and you don't even need to aim them.

>>8250169
And in DMC there was no reason to use your guns ever.

>>8250175
There was, if you wanted to extend your combo and hold enemies in place. That was their gameplay purpose

>>8250169
>A boss
>A
Helicopter, Tarus demon looking dude if he fails to lock on to you, and the amalgamation can all pretty much be beaten this way. The floating face thing also has huge problems finding and attacking the player

>>8250041
Apples to oranges. The console game stages are action focused while Spirits is about puzzling out the challenge specific to each room.

>>8250196
And they're poorly designed """puzzles""". Give me the level design of the N64, Dreamcast or Xbox 360 iterations over that shit any day.

>>8247529
Don't understand the hate for AGH, it's a solid beatemup that doesn't just remake the original game like GSH

>>8249781
There's also the Sin and Punishment sequel, Astro Boy, even Wario World is perfectly fine.
So, basically all of them except this one are good.

>>8246929
I've played most of the games in this thread, and while DMC2 is a strong contender for first place, Alundra 2 was the absolute worst for me. Fuck that game after the somber, dark, but fun game that Alundra 1 was.

>>8250227
>even Wario World is perfectly fine.
Any game that can be completed with ease in under an hour cannot be considered "fine".

Consider getting better taste, Treasuredrone.

>>8250239
All arcade games btfo.

>>8250241
Arcade games in general aren't retarded babyfuck easy like Wario World, though.

All the games I remember not enjoying as much as the original

>>8250175
Guns are super useful in DMC what are you talking about. You have to use them in tandem with your melee moves to juggle enemies.

>>8250402
Sparkster 2 was really fucking weird

>>8250402
I might be the only one who prefers Sparkster to the original.
