[GYSB] Games You SHOULDN'T Buy #1 - Ninja Gaiden 3

[Guild McCommunist]

Then all the 3D Playstation games have horrible controls, lets do a list:
Crash Bandicot
Spyro
Medievil
Rayman 2
Tomb Raider
And many other classics

Because Sony never made a D-Pad with an analog stick?

The very early PSX controllers didn't have them but I own at least two PSX controllers with analog sticks. And I played Crash and Spyro perfectly.

There's not even an option on the Wii. Even though they could have had you use the Nunchuck, made first person aiming toggle on a button, and have opened up more buttons and better controls, they didn't.

is this based on 2 gurls and a cup? when there is that pantie close up i get nightmares about she farts to players...

Well first of all, the mere mention of that movie made me want to throw up right now. So thanks a lot I guess

To answer your question, this game is absolute SHIT. It's a licensed anime game about an especially bad lolicon-pandering fanservice anime (one of the characters is a penis). And yet, it manages to even fall past the abysmal expectations set by other licensed games.
The backgrounds, the sky box, the cut-scenes are all cheap jpeg images.
The enemies are all black spheres that wouldn't be more elaborate than what you'd find in the tutorial folder of a basic 3D modeling program.

The budget was spent on the loli character models and their "animations" which all show their underwear... and the voice acted moans.
The camera follows her ass. Yes, I'm not even joking.
Culminiating after stupidly hitting X number of black spheres (you can't even move up or down to reach some, the programming DOESN'T EXIST) to charge some combo where the heroine her ass does some special jiggly revealing animation.

This is a PSN-only Japanese release sold at full price right now.
If you want to try it, pirate it.

And there's a prequel. It's a mayonnaise simulator.
Actually, the substance in question is highly suspicious.
And it has of course voice acted moans.

Most complaints regarding Other M concern the "sexist" approach towards Samus Aran who was supposed to be a badass but had constant P.T.S.D and a mother instinct overload, but hey - the actual gameplay was great. It was a seamless blend of the 2D Metroid and 3D Metroid Prime games and I personally enjoyed it a lot.

I like the gameplay in Other M.
What ruined it for me was the absence of a skip cutscene option.
The cutscenes (or story in general) were stupid, lengthy AND mandatory. They didn't hide any loading, in fact they caused even longer loading times. I wonder whose genius idea was that?
I'd love to replay a HD re-release (with the Prime Trilogy included) that fixes this particular problem.

And the reason for the bizarre writing was that the director basically demanded the localization team and voice actors mimic the weird awkward Japanese script without adapting it whatsoever.

sounds like the best game ever

i did noticed the camera follows the ass xD
in the video it looks like she is not flying she is walking with no animation...., it looks like there is a floor and the sprite is just showing her floating...

what is the price of the game in dollars\euros? the entire game is just this? punching that balls?

I feel bad even recommending it.
It's 3,900 Yen (~40$?) but you really shouldn't support the devs behind this turd. It's an offensively unhealthy game.
And yes, the game is lengthy static cutscenes with moans followed by hitting balls, recharging combo that destroys all balls on-screen. Rinse and repeat.
Three hours of hunting balls later, the credit roll.

If you want another game that was awesome and had a bad following check out the Postal series. Postal 2 was an awesome game, I loved it and laughed all the way through multiple times sometimes taking weeks on one level as it was just so much fun. Then came along Postal 3 and it was a huge disappointment. I was told by the developers it wasn't their fault as they had a great game but it was put together wrong and the publishers screwed everything up. Pity, it still is a fun game, not as good as Postal 2 but you can see deep down in the roots of the game its still a Postal game but it was just wrong in so many ways. Still I loves it. Its always a laugh to see a machine gun with a cat silencer. LOL

There's not even an option on the Wii. Even though they could have had you use the Nunchuck, made first person aiming toggle on a button, and have opened up more buttons and better controls, they didn't.

but that wasn't until '97 when the Dual Analog hit the market and plenty 3D games where released before that. and even of you are well equipped with a Dualshock some games just refuse to work with the analog on.
I do agree that a setup with Nunchuck could have worked well, but the controls as they are aren't terribad as everyone make them look. IIRC the reason behind that controller setup was to give a classic feel to the game(you know, NES-like controller) and blend it with the Wii scheme.

PD: Ryu please don't, just leave Other M alone .

Pretty sure you can just turn the analogs off with a button.

And the controls are inexcusable when there is a better option that's widely available. It's a stupid design choice piled on top of a thousand other awful design choices. I don't know why people cling to Other M, almost every other Metroid game is considered good, having one bad game out of an entire franchise is a pretty good record.

We shall see. I dunno where I intend to take the course of things, but I have one piece that will take precedence. And it should be out soon. And it might start a riot.
