For Metroid Prime i especially loved that part with the final boss and you have to make use of all your vizor and weapon combo capabilities to defeat him.

Anyone who has played RE4 yet still don't think it's a great game is stupid beyond belief. Side stepping? HTF is sidestepping going to help you in RE4? The only thing it helps is dodging weapons the enemies thow at you which don't happen all that much anyway. There are a lot of moves Capcom could've added to RE4, but at the end of the day you gotta draw the line somewhere. RE4 is almost close to perfect in all categories. If you want to criticize the control then find a valid argument. Making up BS to nitpick just makes you look stupid.

It may be stupid in a game but it's like it is in real life.
In real life you can't just run around, strafe while aiming to shoot like in an fps.
To aim and shoot you always must come to a halt or progress slowly and shoot as you do in games like rainbow six.

So what? You can do a lot of things in real life like spit on the enemies, take off your clothes and run around naked or even take a dump in the bathroom too doesn't mean it needs to be included in the game to make it good.

I don't have to hit the turn around button, run off a ways, then turn back around and start shooting again everytime I fight a zombie.

Uh..you only have to turn around if you're lame at the game. BTW when a zombie lunges at you you can just shake them off, is this too complex for you?

This is RE man not some stupid@ass Quake. Strafing in a RE game is for stupidass dumbf*ks who can't adapt to different types of control schemes.

See you're exactly the type of Nintendo loving halfwit I'm talking about. You've never even played God of War yet you rag on it for being generic while RE4 is the SAME hackneyed Zombie shit they've been recycling for the last 8 YEARS. Had God of War been on the GC or made by Japanese people I'm sure you'd be slobbing all over it's knob.

Slapping a cheezy stupid@ss name onto a POS like God of War doesn't make it a new game...

Same tired hack and slash sh*t that's been done for decades. Shiny graphics doesn't make it great either.

Did you try Metroid Prime Echoes? It seemed cool but the menu screen was really bad, I hated rotating the options around so much that I quit after a couple hours. The D-pad was quicker, but confusing as it was too jumpy and you could'nt see the otions very well unless they were rotated. I don't know why the hell they didn't just re-use Prime's menus, those worked fine.

And that right there folks is proof that when you start complaining about how the control scheme sucks because you cannot adapt, it means YOU suck at games.

That right THERE is proof that you're mentally retarded, I wasn't complaining about the f*cking control scheme, I was complaining about the stupid menu layout and how annoying it was. And your comments about God of War are f*cking stupid as hell, you love RE4 even though it's the same stupid cumbersome gay zombie shit that has barely evolved since the first Alone in the Dark, yet you criticize God of War when you haven't even played it. f*cking retarded.

Do you realize that if I'm to take your words at face value, you just likened God of War to Golden Axe?

I don't really like your label, since games like Dynasty Warriors (which are TRUE hack-and-slashes) fit better. So I'll call God of War a "3D hack-and-slash platformer". In other words, if we're to use old-school examples, God of War is more similar to Castlevania: Bloodlines (hack-and-slash platformer) than to Golden Axe (hack-and-slash) or Sonic the Hedgehog (action platformer).

The 3D hack-and-slash platformer genre that you're tired of has actually come to surface only recently, born from the influence of games such as Sword of the Berserk on DC. Some other big influences were Soul Reaver (for the soul power) and Maken X, which when re-worked into Maken Shao for PS2, contained a lot of elements that were lifted and put directly into Onimusha, which in turn heavily influenced Devil May Cry.

The games listed above are the founding fathers of the 3D hack and slash platformer, and most of them came out after Resident Evil: Code Veronica. Also, several of them (such as Berserk and Onimusha) have clearly affected the genre's birth, but can't even be considered part of the genre themselves, as they don't incorporate the strong platforming element that games like God of War and Devil May Cry 3 are known for.

NOTE: The platforming aspects that games like DMC are known for is a significant shift in the genre from its early influences -- significant enough to redefine the genre -- and not just a new gimmick or shift in camera viewpoint. Very important to make that clear.

So without even touching what either God of War or Resident Evil 4 contributed to their respective genres, it's ridiculous to compare the age/tiredness of God of War's genre to the age/tiredness of Resident Evil 4's genre.

I'd take DMC over God of War anyday. God of War is as generic and cheezy as they come..kinda like comparing Ghost Hunter to RE4.

Emerald Rocker · « **Reply #51 on:** August 07, 2005, 11:19:52 AM »

So are you trying to imply you've played through God of War now?

I don't know where you live, but I'd like to go there, to that magical place where fluid action-adventures steeped in Greco-Roman mythology and extravagant architecture (like that whole boat level right at the beginning, or Pandora's Temple strapped to the Titan's back as he crawls through the desert) are generic. I live in the United States, and here in the US, we're getting a little bit tired of games with zombies and bio-engineered horrors. Even when such creatures star in otherwise great games, the concept has been seemingly stretched to its limit over the last ten years.

Hey, I see NEC Avenue is up to his old confrontational self again!

Dude, you've never even PLAYED the game, so you can just shut your piehole about it, okay?

Emerald Rocker: that would indeed be a great place to live!

You're overly dramatic...

I did suggest it a few times to go on with the turbostuff.

But i don't really mind though.

KingDrool · « **Reply #58 on:** August 08, 2005, 03:21:05 AM »

Wow, this topic has really gone to hell. And all I wanted to do was inform people that you may be able to play Turbografx games on your 360s...

But I'll throw my thoughts in here quick:

Don't make definitive statements on games you've never played. Period.

Don't act as though your opinion is fact. Period.

And finally, don't be an a$$hole on a video game board. Life is too short.

...Period.

Don't read it if it bothers you, easy as that.
