You made an alt account just to vote on this? Oh dear. |
I was considering starting an account on VGChartz for a while; my friend told me to join and vote here in order to help Metroid out, so here I am. If it helps, my real name is Anthony Druckenmiller (obviously not ZeldaTheorist, but that I am).

Raccoon City isn't a mainline entry (same with Outbreak). RE2, 3, and CV are just more of the same but they're not bad by any means, and Revelations and Zero are decent. RE5 wasn't very good, but of the main games only Resident Evil 6 flat-out sucks. So I disagree with the bolded... for now. |
Even if we're going by mainline entries only, I still say that the bad outweighs the good, but opinion n' stuff I suppose.
Anywho:

Meh, 7/10. Metroidvanias need to be thoroughly tested so that no matter what you do, no matter where you go, you never get yourself stuck, even if you get things before you're supposed to, and you can always backtrack to get stuff you missed. It really shows with Super Metroid and the Prime games. People have glitch through walls in Prime to get things out of order and the game still doesn't break the game. In Super Metroid, you can literally infinitely bomb jump anywhere you want from the beginning of the game, and it still doesn't break the game. The developers thought of EVERYTHING. It's ridiculous, unnatural even, how well thought out those games are. With Other M, the developers got lazy. Player might get something before he's supposed to? Let's have Adam lock the door. What's that? Adam's dead? Whatever, it's locked anyway, just because the player should be used to that by now. To me, this kind of thing was unforgivable. Not the Adam thing, but the locking the door to get around designing a proper Metroidvania. I shouldn't have to beat the final boss and come back for a secret final boss just to collect stuff I missed. And I DEFINITELY shouldn't have to kill the secret final boss just to get the last missile because I didn't get it earlier and the developers locked the only other door to it. Such lazy design. I could go on and on. The core gameplay was good though, and it brought some kickass action to the series, so it's definitely worth something.
| Michael-5 said: IMO X/Y was on par with Ruby/Sapphire. It's not a bad game, but you're mostly buying it for the new graphics engine. It's funny how you list Fairy Type making Pokemon better, and I agree. What's the only other Pokemon game to introduce a new type now? At least in Gold/Silver the new type isn't so domineering (Fairy types are mega useful now), this is why I feel older games were better almost no Steel/Dark types were mega useful in Gold/Silver. Also This is why I like the first 2 gen pokemon the most. A lot of new Pokemon are based off silly concepts (X,Y, and Z shapes? a Keychain? some Gears in gen 5?). I feel that all of the original Pokemon were based off real animals/myths or were in general better thought out. IMO Dragonite and Mewtwo are the 2 best looking and well thought out Pokemon, but I'm also fond of Charizard, Blastoise and yes Pikachu. I just don't see as many unique Pokemon now, and a lot of Pokemon are just copy and pastes of older ones (like Rockenrola/Boldore/Gigalith). I think Nintendo should accept public submissions and have a staff pick out the best for at least half of the new Pokemon. |
A lot of the Pokemon I like because they are just interesting to use. While I do like Greninja and Aegislash's designs, they are also really fun to use. Greninja's Protean ability is really interesting to use and puts a new spin on battles and same with Aegislash's stance change ability. It mixes up the standard fighting patterns. The reason I liked Hawlucha is because I played him differently than any other Bird pokemon before...
(No need to call my tastes terrible ;-; haha)
I tend to judge Pokemon gen's by the standouts, not the more boring Pokemon and X/Y had a good number of standouts that I really loved. Every gen has some junk in it (even 1st), but its the good Pokemon that really set the gens apart.
I'm sure you know, but Fairy was implemented to nerf Dragon which has always been OP and while I don't know a ton about competitive Pokemon, I don't think the Fairy type itself is unbalanced.
| Miguel_Zorro said: +5 Metal Gear Solid -7 Smash Brothers Yeah, there are a couple of alts in this voting. |
Which ones?
The bias in this list can clearly be seen in the second post of the OP.
+5 Metal Gear solid
-7 Super Smash Bros.

Such an effort to push non-Nintendo games out of this game can actually be called cheating. Seriously you Nintendo fans piss me off, and I'm not pissed off easily. Reported.

......you're taste in Pokemon is terrible IMO. Compare Greninja to Blastoise or Feraligator (or even Gyrados/Lapras). It's just a huge letdown, Greninja is like a weird fighting Lickatung. Aegislash was cool, but I still prefer a more traditional Gengar (and not Mega-looks terrible), and while stuff like Tyrantrum were cool, they aren't original. Tryantrum is not that different from Tyranitar, they are both super strong T-Rex like Pokemon with a huge list of weaknesses.....the last cool Pokemon I can think of was Rayquaza and I believe that's based off a myth (aka better thought out).
