And that as they say "is that" if you can't appreciate idevice gaming evolution for what it is (mainly the iPhone) then you weren't gonna like it reguardless what device or game it is. I'm glad I was born in the 80's, makes me appreciate where things are going with iPhone development. Bitch over $9.99 games....if you had a steady source of income and a plentiful life $10 isn't exactly chump change but you could afford things that make you happy without trying to justify the cost, or getting mad when you can't. they only think $9.99 is to high is cause no game has yet exceeded that price. It's a matter of, I want this so I bought it cause it wasn't out of my means. I would love to see the complaints or lack there of if Super Monkey Ball started the general price point of premium iPhone games at $19.99
I don't know why, but I don't seem to like these games. The only one I ever liked was a game on my Gameboy Advance SP ALONG TIME AGO called Dragon Ball Z: Taikatsu or somethin' like that.
No one would pay $20 for Super Monkey Ball as it is... iPhone devs could EASILY charge 20,30,40, even 50 or 60! if they just put in the CONTENT... the iPhone is still like 8gb... you will see this platform blossom in time... If you put a morrowind like game on the iPhone, brand new content, it would be an easy $40... 300 hours of open-ended gameplay in a huge detailed world? Its all about CONTENT... I feel like SF IV at a DEAL would be $7-$8.... if we see free updates it will be easily worth its content tho... the animations are literally amazing to watch... Dhalsims arms blow me away (pun not intended )
How much time did you spend on the game? There's an option to turn on original gameplay. Admittedly it's still made a little slower (to accomodate touch controls?), but the jump is not floaty, the enemies are tougher and they rarely drop health bar.
Yup, I did spend some time with that option. The "original gameplay" feels a bit better than the new gamplay, but still not correct in comparison to the NES. The jump isn't as floaty as it is in the new version, but it's still floatier than it was on the old NES game. Also amount of enemies was still reduced, game was still a little slower (like you said), etc. If they went through the bother of creating an "original gameplay" option, I wish they'd just gone the straight emulation route, rather than tweaking some options in their "new" version.
I just wanted to state again, that after more time playing this and reading the other posts here and elsewhere what an amazing fail this whole thread was. I PMed Omega-Fail yesterday directing him back to this thread, but so far, nothing. This is yet another example of taking an extreme position on something that you cannot possibly know about blowing up.
You are using a thread, from a iPod only site- from people who claim that Pocket God is the greatest achievement in entertainment, as your main evidence?
Oh yeah, I take impressions from people from this site very seriously. Oh yeah. STF4 must be fantastic.
You know what, I've resisted saying this because I appreciate all kinds of points of view (and as I mentioned earlier, you've suggested some great DS games to seek out), but you really have no business on this site. If you go to that SF4 thread you will find well crafted impressions from both people new to the fighting genre and from old pros (including some folks who have played the game competitively). The discussion has gone through the pros and cons, compared the action to the console (and arcade) originals, and gone through many suggestions for additional content and improvements. In fact, it has been one of the better threads on this site. If you can't take any of that seriously, then your presence here is pointless.
I come to these forums to support the developers that deserve recognition for their games, not to listen a group of kids rave about games that are not up to the standards of other platforms. Chill bro. If you want to eat anything developers throw at you, that's your prerogative.
Subjective, and we appreciate it for what is is amongst the other titles of the AppStore. There's no point in comparing the iPod Touch to a DS.
Just quickly throwing in there that there ARE games on here that go up to DS standards (GTa for example). As for Omega-F, where do I begin..... Firstly, the Admins also posted a quite positive review on the front page so if there's anyone to believe, it's them. If you think something's so horrible without even TRYING the damn thing no one is going to take you seriously.
Yeah, looking at your recent posts I can see how much "supporting" you've been doing. Too bad: you seem pretty knowledgeable, and perhaps someone with whom to have a worthwhile conversation. But with such a closed mind, what's the point?
I haven't been "supportive" lately because I haven't played a game that holds my interest for a while. That may change soon though; I downloaded some games that seemed to be pretty popular among people (Angry Birds and Space Miner), so I hope those doesn't disappoint.
Truly supportive people help to get the party started -- they don't join once everyone else says it's fun. But hey, I hope you enjoy Space Miner; I happen to think it's a great game. (Haven't tried Angry Birds, so I won't venture an opinion about it .)
I bet you Omega-F plays SF all the time on his iPhone/iPod. Hes probably too proud to admit he was wrong. It's ok though Omega, I can see through it. I'm hoping they add more fighers too Omega-F
I just think your standards are way high. That and having a narrow mind, but that's a different issue. Anyway, the general concensus seems to be that the 'point' has been proven wrong.
Omega-F hates SF IV just because he can't afford it. He spends all his time playing that stupid mini game Angry Birds because that's all his monthly allowance can buy. Ah well, different strokes for different folks. It's angry birds for him, let's leave it at that.
