[quote name='JohnLa101']Not sure how much of you guys would agree with me, but so far, my summer purchases have been extremely disappointing.
1. Ninja Gaiden 2 - I have no problems with the difficulty or lack of story since this game is all about the action, but the sloppy programming that has caused multiple lock-ups, game ending glitches and system freezes are terrible. Even such a simple thing as leaderboards is affected.
2. Metal Gear Solid 4 - This was my first Metal Gear game, and the only reason I bought it was because of the great money back deals out there for the 80gb bundle (thank you CAG for that). The gameplay was not bad, and at times, it was great, but given that nearly half the game is cutscences (many of which are not good and horribly dull/repeatative/pretentious), I could say with confidence that if I ever decide to play it again, I will skip 90% of the cutscences without hesitation.
3. Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo Remix Beta - I realize that I didn't purchase this beta, but rather bought Commando 3, however I did not care for that game and only spent the 800 points for the beta. I knew beforehand that a beta is simply that, but the fact that the game freezes and I can't even test it out is ridiculous.
Sorry for the vent, but these are the only purchases I've made recently, and they are all huge disappointments. Anybody else agree or have other titles they'd like to add to the summer of disappointment?[/QUOTE]
1. I'll agree with you on NGII being buggy, i've already run into a few weird glitches, thankfully nothing game ending but it enough to go what the hell was that???
2. You started the franchise at the last game in the series, of course the cutscenes wouldn't mean anything to you. Without playing MGS and MGS3 90 percent of the game doesn't have any real emotional impact. Like someone earlier said its like starting Lord of the Rings at movie three, yeah you can do it but its awkward at best. While MGs4 does try to explain some things the explanations are brief at best, I mean The Boss had her story summed up in about 10 seconds. That was damn near the entire plot of MGS3 cut to 10 seconds.
3. Its just a beta, no big deal. All of that will be fixed for the real game
Personally i'm loving this summer but i'm also going broke fast buying all this stuff. I still need to finish GTA 4 , Rainbow Six Vega 2, Crisis Core and a bunch of other stuff I bought within the last few months. Thankfully July is looking skimpy so I can get some stuff out of the way.
anime and anime games
