So far everything I hear about this game has been gold. Bring it awn.
@GunFlame: was hit for 25 damage. GunFlame fainted.: I do think the ridiculous Mary-Sue-ing of the director's wife is a part of what makes the films crap, mind. But no, nothing against the actress herself!
@digimope: Last I checked, Boxing wasn't 5-on-1, so I'm-a go ahead and assume it was all of them beating on everyone, not just her.
Unless it was Winner-Stays-On and she was kicking their arses, of course!
@HIGHCLASSKILLA: It either looks too short or bulbous thanks to blending in with the Gold Coin-esque logo on the front of the helmet.
@Decoy_Doctorpus: Or the Iron Fist cumulative love-taps that completely disable someone's footwork.
@BallPtPenTheif: Part of the problem is the fragmented nature of the sport - there are several organisations who give out 'champion' titles/belts, thus there's not just one Heavyweight Champion, or whatever weight champion. If it was regulated by just one all-encompassing body it'd be easier to follow and the titles would mean a lot more - thus the holders might be more memorable.
If it's so terrible that only idiots play it, smart players flock for the ripe pickings. Thus, success! Terrible is a valuable asset in 'social casinos'.
@antwill: So they say, but 'games' is a poor label to slap on every game. Obvious Puzzle Bobble might not make for a compelling narrative, but games like MGS and especially Uncharted are clearly modelled to be films with the action sequences being interactive. You could string the cutscenes together with a few cuts and action scenes where gameplay goes and it'd be better than what this will likely end up as.
@antwill: It's somewhat tragic when utterly fantastic source material is butchered into generic, unrelated pap, is all. Like if they'd made LOTR as about a village of tiny people trying to save their home from being turned into a car park by the big people.
@LEGOslayer: Because the film might now about a family of loveable globetrotters who solve international mysteries together?
Rather than, say, anything that resembles the (very well plotted, scripted and directed) games?
The Dreamcast was pretty influential, it just wasn't successful. Not only for the listed online service pre-Xbox Live, but also for better-than-arcade ports and the like.
@Blore07: Good call. Considering I was born late 80s and my parents in the 40s/50s, maybe my whole family is missing a generation that would've taken interest!
@Owen Good: I'm not agreeing with Tarzanti (it was pretty obvious a few sentences in that it was either a book or a film), but I for one haven't even heard of it. Something to do with being European, possibly.
@黒天使: Nope, that was a revival of the series, first released on PS2 around a decade after the Saturn release of the original. But yes, that was released in the West along with its own sequel a couple years later.
@Kotaku Reject: Probably between $ and $15 depending on the title, to be fair. Vagrant Story was only a few quid in the UK.
It's about time Vagrant Story went to America considering how long we've had it in the UK, but... Chrono Cross would've been pretty frickin' welcome.
So Larry Niven wanted to write Lensman. Cool.
@ImmortalGrey: If you're talking about 4, then know that he takes exactly as long to get to speed as in Sonic 2 - it's just the animations that make it seem longer. Haven't played Sonic Colors.
