Re: Feature: The Best Shmups On Nintendo Switch

LordVal

No Sky Force? No Stardust Galaxy Warriors? No Overdriven? No Rival Megagun?
These, Anger Force, Ikaruga and Steredenn, but the rest is not worth it imo
Devil Engine, Black Paradox and Super Hydorah are good too, but too expensive for what's in them.
And there are a lot more good retro shmups, but you don't need them so much like the one mentioned.

Re: Review: Shakedown: Hawaii - A Promising Game Buried Beneath Tedious Busywork

Very honest review! Thanks for not following the hype!
I was really into this game. Waiting for this since the Switch launched two years ago. Bought it yesterday and played it the whole night and was very very disappointed. All these Action packed trailers promised something else. This game is very slow and a lot of repeating and the worst: economical!

Re: Review: BlazBlue Centralfiction Special Edition - Well Worth The Wait For Fighting Game Fans

LordVal

I was always a big Blazblue Fan and played it a lot on my PS3 back then. I was very disappointed about CrossTag Battle and its "easy inputs", so I was very hyped when this title here was announced. I don't know why, but I don't like it. I thought, maybe I'm just not in Blazblue anymore, so I played the first one on my PS3... I played it for the whole night. It's that game and I don't know why. It's Blazblue, but somehow it's not. Can't desripe it actually. The controls just don't feel right and the little changes in characterdesign and roster are so ugly in my eyes.
At least you can play the demo, so you will not be so disappointed when you buy it blind like me.
Can't understand this high rating.

Re: Review: Ittle Dew 2+ (Switch)

LordVal

Ok, maybe it's really just my opinion and I'm all alone in my hatecage here, but this game.... It's way too easy, too short, you can go wherever you want, it's not rewarding, so you don't have a reason to play further on, the enemies are unpredictable and respawning everytime you leave a place, the same endbosses again and again, the controls are not direct and not very precise... don't know where to stop. I really hate this game.
Cave Story was such a great game, but Nicalis disappointed me so much with all their other games!
Maybe the do not publish just for me... I know.
But imo this game deserves a -8!! Yeah! MINUS!

Re: Review: Fight Of Gods - A Comically Bad Crossover That Nobody Asked For

LordVal

@frabbit I just like the game. I'm a big BeatemUp Fan and I was very disappointed about the latest BB and Blade Strangers and the controls. This one here was really afreshing. It's not a SNK or Capcom standard, but it's so much fun to hit Santa with the hand of God of his son!
@SenseiDje all important gods are in. and I don't like big rosters.

This game is awesome and easily a 9. We had so much fun last weekend playing this. Better than Blade Strangers or Blazblue XTB because it has real moves. Just the loading times and the missing onlinemode are annoying, the rest is fantastic: great roster, great combosystem, easytolernhardtomaster mechanics, fast, always funny.
You must be a fanatic Christian or you are not into fighting games if you're not seeing its potential!

Re: Video: Get Over Here And Watch More Footage Of Mortal Kombat 11

LordVal

This title brings brutality on a whole new level. Was really extreme watching it. Never thought they could top MKX, but that's here and there a little bit to much for me. Maybe if I were 15 again, when MK1 shows up on SNES, it wouldn't bother me, but when you get older you're not the open minded for violence and gore anymore I believe.

Re: Review: Omega Strike - A Metal Slug-Style Metroidvania That Offers Throwaway Fun

LordVal

Bought it and had a lot of fun for 5-6 hours. It's very straight and you get 100% very easy. I liked it a lot and it's more a 8/10 to me, because I like this kind of short games more than replayvalue, backtracking, customise games, where I have to spend hours with no content. I feel lost and wasting time while playing just to earn money to buy a new upgrade for my character...
