Unwanted and shunned games

[Takumaji]

Last friday I got two more games for my NGCD collection: Savage Reign and Ninja Combat. I looked up some reviews... Most of them are devastating. Well, Savage Reign is not that baad IMO. It features a blunt character design (not as blunt as in Ninja Master's tho), but some cool gameplay and very nice ideas, together with lots of funny loading screens and unusual moves. It's way too easy even on hardest level but fun anyway against a human opponent. Got the game for $10.

Must be FF on Genesis which ruined my taste... <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0">

Yeah, I really like Savage Reign as well... it is a bit dated, but fun. I think it is a cross between Street Fighter and Power Stone (The china street where you can grab onto the wire, drop stuff, etc... very cool and ahead of it's time)...

Yeah, Savage Reign is cool.

And the funny thing is that it is the prequel to Kizuna Encounter - all the characters in Kizuna except 2 are in Savage Reign. They look exactly the same too.

Obviously the Tag feature and better gameplay sets Kizuna apart from SR, but they aren't THAT different.

There are a lot of games like that, games that are good but don't get the reviews they deserve.

Great example, Trap Gunner for PSX. I DEFY anyone to play this game *multiplayer is a must* and not have the urge to buy it. It's that damn good. Like a crossbetween a first person shooter, a fighter and bomberman.

That's what angers me the most. They hire ANYONE to review games. No credentials and they can seriously fuck a game by giving it a bad review.

Mark my words. I'll be taking steps to rectify this in the VERY near future <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

But then there is the opposite end of the stick : World hereos 2, everyone loves that game, I think it sucks. Another example Final fantasy 8...Oh boy, anger wells up inside of me just thinking about it <IMG SRC="smilies/mad.gif" border="0">

Everybody loves WH2? <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">
Definitely not me though. The first two WHs suck big big time - some of the most trashy fighting games ever produced. Jet and Perfect are better though.

WorldHeroes2 sucks in every way....how can one love this game? I've just bought the 1st two parts because they were one of the first Neo games I've ever seen <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Gatsu...I'm totally with you. I loved Final Fantasy until I bought the 8th part. It's no longer FF. Mainstream game for the masses or so <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

There are many games of which many people think they're crap. SavageReign, KizunaEncounter, NinjaMaster's, Breakers, etc.
SR and KE have got really good gameplay features I'd love to see in a recent fighting game.
Most people judge the games by their look and not by their gameplay.
Well...actually NinjaMaster's looks DAMN cool <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

??? Takumaji

I have Savage Reign for MVS and King Lion 2nd form beasted me the last time I played!!! It was on level 4 and it had to have taken me 4 hours to beat him. If your copy is way too easy then it must be because it is the CD, I can take any KOF boss on level 8 easier than King Lion on level4! <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

What's so wrong with World Heroes? I'll admit the fighting system isn't complex or anything, but I have good memories playing it at the arcades. It looked different from the other fighting games with some intresting characters plus the deathmatch mode was pretty cool in my opinion. When it came out anyway......

I'm not a fan of the World Heroes series... I downright loathe World Heroes 2. Jet and Perfect aren't too bad, but I prefer just about every other Neo fighter.

IN THE NAME OF MUDMAN THE ALMIGHTY-Do not critizise WORLD HERO'S!!!!

WH2 came out in mid 1993.
