Very true. In the case of my Mary-Kate and Ashley games example a few pages back, these games seem to serve more as fan-service gone wrong. They certainly learned their lesson with that after...3-4 games.Elidan1012 said:Publishes can also use it to see what the public wants(or doesn't), although that isn't always a sign of quality, unfortunately.

The real shame is that some of the story was compelling, and I'd like to see a sequel, if only one that retconned much of Other M's sorry excuse for a story. Finding out that some of the higher ups within the holy Federation are genetically engineering these things for weapons? Potential! Zero suit potential! Stealth elements potential!
I think it was the game's style that put me off; it seemed a bit too colourful and loopy compared to Red Alert 2. Maybe I was too harsh saying I thought they ruined the Allies, but their units and support powers just seemed worse than the other two factions. That, and I missed my prism tanksCollins254 said:can i just ask why? i love red alert 3, i loved the campaign, i loved the allies the most, the empire of the rising sun was the faction i most disliked, because i felt they had only 2 strategies, shogun battleship sea dominion, or chopper VX early spam.Failhammer said:I've seen opinions like that regarding the first arc of the new Higurashi anime series.Volan said:...leave alone a story that worked for its seriousness and sadness, instead of making a cheesy, happy fan-service spin-off.
On topic: Red Alert 3. As far as I'm concerned, they completely ruined the Allies and the only good part of that game was the Empire of the Rising Sun.
Hold on a second, I enjoyed it, it has good replay value and it's fun to make super weapons. If you prefer the older games, that's fine, but don't get bitchy about it.Collins254 said:Kindom Under Fire: Circle of Doom, was not a KUF game at all, some sort of shoddy like game thing that doesnt deserve an opinion, a review, or for anyone to ever play it again... ever. Im serious dont get it.
I agree with missing the prism tanks, and yes it wasnt as dark as red alert 2, but the gameplay was smooth, i loved the new mirage tanks, i liked how every unit had a support power aswel as its main function, to me added more strategy to the game, i did like the coolness of the japanese faction, but to me it was everything they had that felt weaker than the other 2.Failhammer said:I think it was the game's style that put me off; it seemed a bit too colourful and loopy compared to Red Alert 2.

Well thats your opinion and fair enough, i wish they hadnt called it a KUF game though, yes it used the same characters but thats like picking up C&C5 Kanes vengence and finding out now your playing a FPS as kane, yes it could be a great game to someone but C&C fans generally would be expecting an RTS, as i was with Circle of Doom, i played 2 hours of it, realised i wasnt going to be able to play it like the old KUF games, and if i wanted a game like that id have bought dynasty warriors, same gameplay style but better games IMO.Choose a Username said:Hold on a second, I enjoyed it, it has good replay value and it's fun to make super weapons.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to play KUF:COD.
Nitpickery. Just because a game boy advance game exists doesn't mean there won't (or shouldn't) be any more Metroid games.ninjapenguin1414 said:I thought Metroid Other M came before Metroid Fusion so it already has a sequelfunguy2121 said:I wouldn't be too surprised if we saw another Prime game in the first couple of years of Wii U's existence.

And I honestly can't thing of any game actually bad enough to not exist, maybe Knight in the Nightmare that was a bad game, maybe even FF13 but the gameplay was okay so i don't see a point in complaining.
Now I don't know about LoI...I mean, sure, it wasn't like the Castlevania games before it, but it was definitely a fun, solid action game. Of course, this is just my opinion.targren said:Castlevania: Lament of Innocence - Marked the end of the era that was the 'Vania' part of the 'Metroidvania' genre.
Metroid: Fusion - See above. They almost came back from this with Zero Mission, then the Metroid Prime games, but then the same guy ended up in charge of Metroid and gave us the all-around sucktastic "Other M."
Jak II - The first game was a fun, if uninspired platformer in the vein of the old Spyro games. Jak II and III are more like "Grand Theft Auto: Furry"
Final Fantasy Tactics: Advance - Oh dear gods, the pain. Take everything that made the original Final Fantasy Tactics great, throw it away, and replace it with a nice, wet, fragrant bowel movement: furries and the stupid law system.
What is wrong with the single player of the BC games? I found them quite enjoyable, if anything, it only adds to the total amount of time I have spent having fun with those two gamesScythax said:Of all the games to choose... that's easily my favorite game of all time. And won Game of the Year.

Only way to make it even remotely enjoyable is by heavy modding.
I'd say, every Fable after Fable: Lost Chapters, Crysis 2, the single player sides of Bad Company 1 and 2, and Every COD after 4.
And if they hadn't A) Slapped the Castlevania name on it and B) Stopped making Metroidvanias altogether, I'd agree with you. On its own, it was a passable, even enjoyable, game. But what it set into motion for the series is unforgivable.SixWingedAsura said:Now I don't know about LoI...I mean, sure, it wasn't like the Castlevania games before it, but it was definitely a fun, solid action game.

And all of the Metroid Prime games come before Super Metroid. Making the games out-of-sequence is nothing new for Nintendo (just look at what they did to Zelda!)ninjapenguin1414 said:I thought Metroid Other M came before Metroid Fusion so it already has a sequel
