THOSE NO GOOD ROTTEN ##!?!!!!! THEY TALKIN' BAD ABOUT CHINA WARRIOR!

Quote from: Kurt Kalata
"China Warrior, an early PCE title which sacrificed gameplay for huge sprites"

"It's a good thing you aren't actually Bruce Lee, or else this game would almost be a greater disrespect to his memory than Game of Death. Hudson thankfully moved on from this dark mark in their history..."

Great review and I agree completely.  For 1987 it is quite impressive for a home console.

I won't say it's an awesome game, but they don't know how to play it.  They're trying to play it as if it's something like Splatterhouse, but it's really more about rhythm and memorization.

All I got out of reading this is 'We're HardcoreGaming, and we don't know how to stand to the f*cking left of the screen because we're fags'

What's unfair about not being a retard while playing a simple game?   

OH GOD I DON'T HAVE TIME TO REACT MAYBE I SHOULD BACK UP AND STOP TRYING TO GO FASTER THAN THE AUTO SCROLLING ALLOWS FOR.

They also only mention the big-fist, which means they suck at the game, completely.

Anyone who dislikes China Warrior sucks at it, not because it's unfair, but because they're slow.

I agree with necro. you gotta play the game over and over to memorize the pattern of the enemies and hazards coming towards you. the boss fights can be a pain and they should have changed the music on the different levels but its a cool game overall.

Obviously, I respect China Warrior. It saddens me that allegedly "hardcawww" video game enthusiasts do not understand the essence of China Warrior.

Oh well.

If you post things at HardcoreGaming101, you had better know how to play China Warrior, otherwise you can get f*cked.

That's something you learn with practice.  Only faqqots need help figuring out how to play such a simple game, and this review makes it sound like the guy used save states to brute force his way to the end, rather than taking the time to learn enemy patterns or to formulate attack strategies against bosses.

I need to confess, I kinda like China Warrior but I still don't know how to pull the giant fist.

I never figured out the conditions that triggered GIANT FIST, FISTS OF FURY (exactly what it sounds like)...because it appeared to happen at random times for me (and not too often).

Old Rover figured it out and told me a long time ago, but, in typical fashion, I have forgotten again.

But, it doesn't matter, because I can beat the game by simply mega-maxing the life bar (at first the bars change colors to indicate the extra life you have stored, but you can keep building up many, many full bars of life before you reach the upper-limit).

I said faqqots, as in someone that's got a hardon for faqs.

I may not be classy, but at least I can read.  :mrgreen:

I don't think China Warrior is a very good game, but it's certainly not a horrible game. Gameplay-wise I consider it "meh", but it is technically pretty impressive for the time. A kusoge should be horrid, not "meh".

It's only offensive if a SNERD calls someone a gamefaq.   At least, that's how it is up in da hood.

Hm, I didn't know about some sort of special move - I'll have to check that out. Don't think I ever beat the game as a matter of fact.

We have to scour for an old post or two from OLD_ROVER.

When I get home, I'll check my laptop for old noted, because that's the sort of thing I usually save in my disorganized collection of TG-16 miscellany.

TANGENT:
Am I correct that Aaron (probably) requested that Google not crawl the forums (via robots.txt doc on server)? In the past, of course, we could search most of the forums via LeGoog, but the last few times I tried, I got NOTHING.

I always thought you had to have enough power to do the super fist and rapido puncho, and just kinda press forward + punchy after you get hit a couple times.  So,you basically just walk into their fists and then go HAOWHOAHEOHAOWHOAHOAwhwhoaoaooaooooo

I am into the rapid fisting.

I think it's just a consequence of having the forums only readable if you're signed in; Google can't crawl what it can't see.

Ah, you know what? I think Google was able to crawl the old-skool phone (text only, read-only) format that this forum used to generate...I guess that content was not locked behind a password system.

Now, why can't I remember the name of the oldskool phone format? UPDATE: wap, wap2, imode

Yes! We must have posted at the same time. Also, I think another one was called "imode" (nothing to do with iPhone).
