Review: Dragon Egg - A Good but Rushed Platformer

[Necromancer]

Lies, shifting arguments, and trolling are against the rules. For real, check the rules....

Not posting false and inaccurate material is in the rules, genius.  I rescind my previous threat of banishment, though, as there's no specific rules against being biased, obstinate, and/or not very bright.

.... you'll find this right below the rule against being a douche nozzle and using a member's recently deceased parent to flame them....

It's only cool to joke about someone's dead dad when it's $torino.03's dad, right?  Sorry, bro, my bad.

[Necromancer]

Big difference between storino and whats-his-name. You made the offensive comment after learning his dad was dead, not before.

And you continued after learning he's dead, so how is that better?  Let me help you with your selective memory:

     nullity: "I'll stop harassing you if you trade your mom to me for a $5 amazon gift card.  And your dad.  While you watch."
     storino: "My dad's deceased, but thanks for bringing that into the equation YOU f*ck. End of story."
     nullity: "Come kick my ass.  It won't change what your dad and I had."
     storino: "Thanks. What's next, guys?"
     nullity: "How about you stop dishonoring your father's memory.... "

Delete your account.

You first, hypocrite.

Yeah, I'm the one that's worked up.  I'm the one that keeps bringing it up, labeling you a horrible person, and rationalizing my tasteless jokes.

Keep grasping at straws, hypocrite.

I have a new title for this thread:

Dragon Egg — How a barely mediocre game  revealed the underbelly of of pcefx.

I've been holding off until I have time to comment on some of the spectacular bs being tossed around, but it is now transcending to all new tiers of deluded fantasy.

The problem with "community-accepted definitions" is, which community?  Different ones online may disagree.  Or which part of the community?  There are more than enough arguments about definitions of terms out there to know that there is hardly some monolith.

This is the crazy nonsense anti-science people always say.

In the case of parallax, the international community of the  human race had a consensus from at least 1926 until recently, when historical revisionists like A Black Falcon became old enough to begin typing out random feelings as reality changing facts on the internet.

You can argue all you want that the Earth is only 1000 years old, it's flat and no one has ever visited the moon. But just because you've got North Korea and the Westboro Baptist Church on your side, it doesn't mean that facts are opinions and vice versa.

Remember folks, all parallax on the Neo Geo is fake because it's all sprites.

What're you going to do when you run out of girly disc pics?

Start playing Games Express games in an emulator?

Oh man, I don't use lols lightly, but LOL!

That's exactly what I kept thinking while enjoying this thread.

"All this for Dragon Egg?!?"

To ABF, prior to me knowing that the Turbo did not support parallax, I always thought that the parallax in Rondo, LoT, etc. was pretty damn impressive. Who knew it wasn't real, but just some form of trickery. The nerve!!

Also, please pick a better game to review next time, as I thoroughly enjoy reading wordy reviews, but of worthy games. Dragon Egg can be easily summed up in a "meh".

I actually like reviews of such less well known games.  Reviews of stuff like Dracula X, Sapphire, Gate of Thunder, etc. are fun to read too, but who here hasn't already played the hell out of 'em themselves?

Oh, me too.

But this game, while somewhat enjoyable, could be summed up like this:

I'm being hyperbolic, but you get my drift...

[Necromancer]

Aww, it's not that bad. 

[SignOfZeta]

I never knew the PCE was the system that sucked at paralax. I've owned all four major 16-bit systems forever (actually, Neo only in the last 6 years or so, but played every MVS I could find BITD) and I never noticed this. I've played probably 1000 different titles from this era and it genuinly never occurred to me.

So if people accept that, what, in their opinions, is the best system at it?
