Daraku Tenshi rocks my cock...

[Tacitus]

I've been playing it for a few months now and I have to say, this is one of the most underrated, beautiful and well done games ever made.

It's a real shame it wasn't finished, much less noticed all that much. If this was finished, I'm sure it would've been a total masterpiece.

Does anyone have information on the missing characters? Was there ever an art book for it released? Why did Psikyo rush it?

I know Charlie's a big nut for this game, maybe he can chime in?

 

[roker]

yep

still rocks

lame music though

awesome graphics, animation, and most importantly GAME PLAY

Yes, but is it in HD?

 

[Darklighterx]

I remember Techno or Tehcno having a web page devoted to this game.
'I personally like the character "Lapis". She looks as if modeled after Mathilda from Leon The Professional.

 

[hermegildo]

Roker's post escalates into high stupidity.

awesome graphics, animation, and most importantly GAME PLAY

lol shut the fuck up, roker.

The game looks abysmal and doesn't play very well at all from what I remember.

Terrible animation.

 

[evil wasabi]

It's a shame that you got into it so late. Back in 2000 they still had the webpage up for the game on the psikyo website. I don't have the game anymore. I think I sold the kit to evilmike with all the trimmings like 4 years ago.

I know nothing will ever conform to the quality of animation on Justice League

:wanks:

edit: are you fucking kidding me?

the game looks top notch

top fucking notch

 

[roker]

it's not a "deep" system

but once you get into it, it's a blast

the AI needs work

there are some character than can go through the whole game with one move

I dont think this game was ever underrated, it just never got a proper release.

 

[chris1]

Hmmm...Never played it...looks cool..

hmm...I never knew the game was incomplete. shame.

C'mon, you know better than that.

The backgrounds are horrendous, the artwork is average and the animation, aside from having a good amount of detail and being fairly fluid, pretty much sucks.

The combat itself is pretty generic.

Maybe if they'd finished it, the game might've been something to talk about.

Didn't the director commit suicide or something?

not all the BGs are good, but most of them are

are we even playing the same game?

and saying the animation sucks but admitting that it has a good amount of detail and is fairly fluid sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about

you may not like the aesthetics, but that's just personal taste

the game looks great, it suffers from a lack of polish

had they spent another year working on this, it would have been a masterpiece

but I digress, it's still a masterpiece, an unfinished masterpiece

...who then sold it to SamuraiShodownSensei. Seriously though that game is just fucking amazing. Every time I go over to his place we end up playing it. Great graphics, great characters, awesome fun.

... who in bringing the board to my place last year (I'm pretty sure it was his) got me really interested in the game.

Weird and incestuous, weird and incestuous.

It's really in the vein of Ninja Masters in feel and artistic direction. The bar stage is really top notch, as is the airport. You can definitely tell they took a lot of those ideas over to KOF.

I like them a lot better than the KOF iterations, especially Harry Ness and Cool. Onigawara is also top notch. There's really not a character I don't like in the game.

It's stripped down and gritty. Yeah, the AI is easy.

I am not a fan of the "sisters" though. I mean, one is a cross dresser, so it's like playing as Abasuto. The other one is tough to use respectably.

Onigawara is great by any game's standards just for the flies that swarm around him as their own sprite(s).

One thing I never really dig in a fighting game is guns. Trigger, Whip, Vermillion (Tohshinden 2), for example, should all be able to kill you in one shot. At least Harry Ness was kind of a cyborg, so you can't fault him for bringing rockets.

Carlos, with his Katana, should be able to kill anyone with one hit. It would be more realistic if Carlos only used his sword for his desperation move, and fought hand to hand the rest of the time. Same for Trigger. And why not? Everyone else was fighting unarmed, sort of (harry ness with limited ammo).

Good character animation has nothing to do with detail or fluidness.

The backgrounds are washed out, have zero contrast and do not fit with the sprites at all.

Jesus Christ, roker.

You're absolutely clueless sometimes.

The game is very ambitious, but far from being a masterpiece.

Very, very far.

you're clinically insane

and I think the mods should give you a custom rank:

knocking down the tables from the foreground = awesome

That's the same argument made by GGX retards.

"Looks at the high resolution and the crazy flash effects!"

You're clueless, roker.

Absolutely clueless.

The catfight between roker and herpesdildo is getting good.

We should all pitch in to get the two plane tickets, so they can limp-wristedly slap each other on the hands from arm's length. That would be worth the investment, I think.

You should see a certain God Hand argument in the other forum.

I was proven right in said discussion, just as I will undoubtedly be proven right here.

did somebody fuck your face?

I also listed a bunch of other reasons why it kicks ass but you took a shot at the BGs

you don't ever win

there is no logic!
