This is a game for thoughtful combat, rather than clicks per minute and speed. It's about outwitting your opponent, rather than rushing him. Extraneous activities to tactics such as resource management and base building have been removed, leaving you solely with your soldiers, the environment and the enemy.

I wondered (aloud) why they hadn't invented a new character. More recently two games that I know and enjoy are getting remakes/sequels/just continuing the franchise, depending on how you look at it.

Actually, I like a lot of Doug TenNapel's work; Earthworm Jim, Creature Tech, Gear. And then I read about a political debate he had on his comment section. Actually, I read about the abuse he was getting, as I didn't wander into Ratfist's comment section very often. I did read his blog posts underneath each of his pages though, and that's where I heard about the comments Telpscorei (Terp-Score-Day)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09839921416921798073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875057583047281923.post-33680297489354616292011-05-27T09:35:00.000-07:002011-06-04T15:16:30.640-07:00Really Capcom? Wow.http://www.capcom-unity.com/ask_capcom/go/thread/view/7371/27677673/SSF4:AE_PC_ONLINE_QUESTION&post_num=99#497069701
I am honestly surprised at Capcom's reaction to the legion of unfavourable fan responses they got across the intertubes. Actually reaching out to fans and saying "if not this, then what else?", as a marketing tool, can't be beat. Personally, I like this guy's take on it:

Really Capcom? Reallllllllly?
I used to like Capcom because they made good games. And that was it. That's all it took for me to like a video game company. It's the same reason I liked Bullfrog, way back when. But times have changed. Or rather, the internet has landed.

It was pretty much like watching a regular movie, except the trailers were terrible and there was a 45 minute wait between sitting down and actually seeing anything on screen.
But as for the movie itself? Having spoken the friends I watched it with, I guess it sort of depends on what Telpscorei (Terp-Score-Day)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09839921416921798073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875057583047281923.post-21696422400298358822011-05-23T13:23:00.000-07:002011-06-04T15:11:20.713-07:00Inauguration DayHello and welcome to the very first post of my blog. Why now? Why today? Because it's high time I actually wrote down the nonsense that comes along with my life. Like, for instance, how I'll be seeing the new X-Men movie tomorrow (possibly) when I really shouldn't have had the chance.
As the title kind of gives away, this blog will focus kind of heavily on the creative side of things. As time Telpscorei (Terp-Score-Day)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09839921416921798073noreply@blogger.com0
