Oh well, I guess I will have to wait until March 19th for my hack and slasher
Hope it fails badly. These guys need to learn to stop ripping off games. With god of war 3 and Bayonetta, there is really no room for this "me too" hack and slash in early 2010
I actually thought it would be worse. The premise of the game wasnt interesting to me and it still isnt but its good to see that it wasnt as bad as i thought it might have been
Long Live SHIO!

That game is also an obvious GT rip-off, but it's a bannable offense to say that, and what's more strange is that most reviewers praise that aspect of the game, instead of criticizing it like they do with Dante's Inferno. I was also surprised at how reviewers praised Braid and made it sound like it was the best thing to happen to gaming, while in fact, the game is a huge Mario rip-off with some new gameplay mechanics here and there. I have personally played Forza, Braid, and Dante's Inferno (demo) and all these games are amazing, but I hate it how one of these games is accused for being a rip-off, while the others are getting a free pass. I am baffled by the inconsistency. |
Braid and Mario have almost nothing in common.

Forza: You can't really change much in a racing game. Driving around in circles is driving around in circles.
Braid: It was supposed to resemble Mario, but "some new gameplay mechanics here and there"? The whole game was new gameplay mechanics. The designer took the basic ideas of Mario (ie a 2D platformer, like many other games- I guess Sonic is a mario ripoff?) and, of course, added Toad and the Princess in the Castle as a joke. Then he added time manipulation gameplay, which completely changes the entire game. It's not about jumping on mushrooms and gathering coins, it's about using your abilities over time to solve a mystery.
