So much less vitriolic than what you had promised...

 

[Firedwarf]

Yeah, I'm disappointed. =(

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

your stupid ship flys on a set path, what the fuck is fun about that?

 

[FalseTodd]

Getting warmer...

 

[Firedwarf]

Not in all the missions. Battle of Endor?

 

[Firedwarf]

BTW, it should be noted that I haven't played Jedi Outcast for more than ten minutes. I thought it was okay.

I really hope the ground missions don't suck in this new game, though.

 

[FalseTodd]

And anyways it's a whole genre...the rail-shooter. I don't mind them.

 

[FuSoYa]

That genre is the worst idea since hip-hop

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

oh BURNNNNNNNNNNNNN

what other worthless games fall into that genre?

 

[xfer]

fucking Ed Hunter.

 

[FalseTodd]

Yeah that game is *strictly* worthless.

However, I would argue that plastic-gun-games fall into that category, and I know Seipp is no stranger to Time Crisis 2. One recent entry into the genre would be Panzer Dragoon Orta for the xbox....Some might call R-Type, 1942, etc. rail-shooters, but I don't quite agree....However, you can't deny that f'n Starfox is a rail shooter. And I know Mr. Driver wouldn't throw that in as "worthless".

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

oh oh OH

-GI Joe the Arcade Game

 

[FalseTodd]

Yeah....totally. And that game is "fucking" worthless.

 

[FuSoYa]

Starfox is not a measly "shooter"

 

[FuSoYa]

Also just because I post something doesn't mean I believe it.

 

[FalseTodd]

Oh c'mon. It is by and large a shooter.

And shooter isn't necessarily negative, and it doesn't necessarily encompass every activity in the game. Just saying if you have to categorize it, that's where it goes.

 

[FalseTodd]

Also just because I post something doesn't mean I believe it.

Would it kill you to say "I was wrong, there's an exception"

 

[Firedwarf]

ooohhh!

The new Starfox game for GC looks pretty good too.

 

[ChromeLife]

Panzer Dragoon Orta ruled.

 

[LuminousAether]

That Zelda game requires GBA connectivity? I knew there was going to be a dark side to all this connectivity bullshit... and now this craptastic looking Zelda spin-off and the new FF game are going to capitalize on it. Fuck that, I shouldn't have to have a shitty GBA to play your goddamn game. I mean... goddamn.
