Even after crappy reviews, LordTheNight continues to defend this game like it were his own flesh and blood.

 

That is not that kind of review. You obviously didn't pay attention. It even stated you can still have fun with it.

I'm not defending the game the way you think. I'm attacking people for pretending the know what the game is like without actually playing it.

Like those videos kylie brought up. Those were not meant to show the zombies attacking. They were meant to show off moves. Actual gameplay captures show the zombies not just standing still when they see you, save for occasional moment, which the 360 version did.

That might be defending, but it's also calling out someone for ignorance.

And I'm still waiting until I can play the game. I might find it's not my taste. But I'm not pretending I can form an opinion about it before then.

"...because for those videos showing off how the games plays making the zombies not attack sure gives an accurate representation..."

They don't. Those were meant to showcase the controls, not show the whole game in action.

"Give up. Please."

Give up what? Insisting it's wrong to think you know how good the game is already? So what? You're still wrong for thinking that. All I'm doing is not letting you forget it, no matter how much you deny it.

It's not about if the game is any good. You're still wrong for making a prejudicial opinion.

The review didn't really discourage anyone, but I recomment renting. If you don't like the game, a rental is all that used up.

renting costs money too. Not to mention it leads more video stores to buy copies of this game. THIS IS A BAD THING



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

A bad thing? How? Some mythological notion that profit should be what you think is deserved? It doesn't work that way.

This isn't some AAA paradise where only what you all decide is the right amount of effort is rewarded.

And what do you think would happen if this game makes money? Capcom decides to halve the budget of MH3 and all original Wii games? They won't, because that's not how the game business works. What this would most likely lead to is Capcom maybe deciding to put more HD games on the Wii, since they make money. No, they will not look like this unless the scale is that large. They will have more room to allocate more detail, the same as every such video game ever made.

Sure those ports won't cost a lot, because you don't spend a lot on ports. The PS2 port of RE4 didn't cost a lot either. Just because it's not as easily noticable does not mean it's not the case.

Or are you all convinced this is a grab and run, when a direct port to the PS3 and PC would fit that better, and have hid the intentions better?

The game is just as likely a testing ground for more Wii support. If they can do a game of this scale, and it succeeds, they could do a hell of a lot more.

It's not certain that is their motive, but why do some of you not even see that as a possibility?

I want this game to succeed, in a way that shows Capcom they can stop holding out on the Wii. Then they can port RE5, which the Wii should have gotten from the beginning (not stolen, just gotten a version unfairly denied because developers refused to see the appeal of the Wii), and it will not look like DR CTYD unless it also has a hundred enemies at once. If it's more like RE4 in terms of scale, or larger, that game will look like RE4, because the resources wouldn't be eaten up by all those zombies.

Then if the above happens, maybe other developers will get it through their heads that games the HD systems are hogging can work on the Wii.

It's a hope, but just thinking Capcom will take the money and run if this is a hit, is to pretend they don't like money, when this year showed that focusing too much on HD development has cost them (they did state that they would have more profit if RE5 was out already).

Ok this game looks like shit, I agree. The zombies were advertised as being more agressive, to compensate for being less of them- yet in the review I see zombie after zombie getting mowed down (literally) without even flinching. But ya know what, I'm gonna buy it- because as bad as these videos look the Onechanbara ones look by far worse. I mean seeing that game in action makes me think of an early Dreamcast game.

Those review videos are showing rapid shots. Look at some gameplay vids on youtube. Those show actual extensive gameplay.

That's a good one (best watch the high quality version). The zombies sometimes take a second to react to you, but there are even more times that you see some coming at you from several yards away. The courtyard seems to have the zombies not notice you, but once a few are taken out, you can see the zombies in the immediate section start to turn on you.

So the zombies are more aggressive.

There might not be that many. Might have been a target the team just wasn't able to meet.

Still doesn't necessarily mean this will be a cakewalk, thought.

But I'd like to see someone posting a video trying to cakewalk through the game, since so many claim it will be.
