Forums - Nintendo - Anyone listened to the IGN Nintendo Voice Chat?

They always seem to underestimate playtime length, from what i've seen this past year or so.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Around the Network

I just finished listening to the rest of it. It was even less interesting than the first half, but here is the summary for anyone interested.

DSiLL

-          Seems like Nintendo is being cocky (?)

-          Resolution just as good as other DS models, no stretching of pic.

-          Looks nicer/sharper with the newer screens.

-          Don’t import because territory specific for DSiWare. Including DSi carts (the few games that will use them).

-          Not meant to be as portable as other DS systems.

Random

Glory of Heracles

-RPG.

-First time series comes to the states.

-First Nintendo game of 2010.

Intellivsion Collection

-Finally has a publisher (don’t know who it is).

- Cartridge not DSiWare

Call of Duty Modern Warfare:Reflex

-Standing by 7.0 review

-Lots of problems

-Says CoD4 controls worse of Wii FPSs (doesn’t remember Red Steel)

-Frame rate a big problem.

Red Steel 2

-Is a FPS not a FPA.

-Locked at 60 frames per second.

-Compliment the game.

Reader Mail

-          Pokemon Heat Gold/Soul Silver-Reader says the game looks more Japanese than other games in series. They agree.

-          Question about pay2Play, reader did not realize games that use it are out.

-          CursedMountain, not worth $30, more like $19

-          New Zelda gamplay they want in next Zelda- Bozon use pedometer, DS would be Link’s eyes…Stupid Joke. Matt-A Narrative that is not carried from previous games. More production values. Bozon real answer-Motion Plus should be used with Z targeting, pans in almost first person perspective to sword fight.

-          Wayforward, no plans for Contra 5. DS Shantae (sp?) trilogy. Looks cool so far.

-          RedSteel 2 to be released Feb. Can’t think of any big game coming out soon using MotionPlus.

 

That was the first and last time I will be listening to a full one of their podcasts. They ramble on so much, and in between I guess they think they are being funny, but it was just annoying.



Cursed Mountain not worth $30?!

Someone agree? I'm a bit interested in the game

I don't agree the game as good ideas a pretty nice atmosphere and it's in general a good old survival horror game. The cons of the game IMO are.

* Too slow (the pacing of the game is quite slow, specially there's a event involving a shaman and drugs wich was REALLY slow)

* Poor replay value, there're some diary notes to collect but nothing really good

Overall if you liked games like Kuon, Fatal Frame or the first Resident Evil you'll like this one. If your idea of horror is something like Dead Space or Resident 5 stay away from it

I completely disagree, as long as you don't mind slow pacing and a couple rough edges. It's pretty unique in both its subject matter and its combat system. It might be the most intensely atmospheric game I've ever played. If you like unique games, horror games, or adventure games, you should definitely consider it.

 

I'm not sure why the media keep calling Red Steel 2 an FPS. It's an FPAction game is what it is. The gun is there, but totally subordinate to the swordplay.

@ alfredofroylan and famousringo

Thanks for your comments, I think I may like it, after all I like RE more than RE4

It's their living. They have gotten used to all the tropes of game design. So they can solve a majority of games quickly. Well below the average time.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

5 hours for Silent Hill?...too short in my opinion.

If Zelda ST doesn´t have that bullshit about going through all levels again and again like in Phantom Hourglass, it´s automatically better in my book :)



I agree with their notion on Modern Warfare Reflex. Controls are way too lose. The other Wii FPS after the launch ones, allowed to be quick and flowing camera/reticule but still having a tight, slick, and smooth feeling. This one just feels loose and out of control so I agree with that. Still playable but not as good as other Wii FPS controls with perfection for me still being with MOHH2.



IGN review up

Score: Great! 8.6
