what is up with game enemies waiting their turn to fight you? I prefer my game enemies to make a b-line for me with no waiting no anticipation. If they hav a strategy against me, it better be something other than gawking at me. It's as if games on a large scale hav improved the visuals and programming, but the players' characters at a large scale aren't up to the task of handling the game designs that are made.
@stringanime some games are about the style of the kills, puts u more into it. but u did have a point on saying tht the gameplay being slow, wished it was faster
@andytheshark Did you read what I said? Is it not registering into your thick little skull asshole? Jedi Power Batlles is the greatest fucking game of all time. Bite me whore.
@andytheshark I'm not spreading "the word" you dumb son of a bitch. I'm telling you a fact little buddy, "Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles" for the PS1 is the greatest game to ever grace this fucking planet. Get it? Got it? Good. Bitch.
@andytheshark Oh like anyone would give a fuck about star wars, here's an idea, why don't you stop talken about fucken star wars and actually get this game just liek everyone else dumb piece of shit
@andytheshark Oh now you're pushing it, you are really pushing my buttons. I shouldn't have to come home after a long day's work and put up with your crap.
I think it would have been a little more disturbing to see that West didn't enjoy what he was doing, that something was driving him to do all of this, by having him frowning deeply, with an apprehensive look on his face. Lovecraftian horror doesn't feature anyone deriving pleasure at _all_ , just about.
I wish they had tired to three-up(not on-up) themselves, I guess.
Kyaa does the music sucks (-_-) I like rock&heavy metal but dunno whats this crap, I think I'll play it with the music off. Better hear blood splatter then this, or better, play it with the Winamp on :> with some rammstein or hellsing OVA OST >:)
@siralucard19 sure hellsing and rammstein fucking rock the world, but i happen to like this music. i goes perfectly with the slaughtering. can you seriously watch Rick kill stuff while listening to "Mutter"? no, i dont think so...
@splatterhouserick hey ur choice (^_^) and I don't like Mutter :D but it will might work with some classic opera music :) call me crazy but it works :> just watch on YouTube Splatterhouse CHAINSAW MASSACRE TRAILER - EXCLUSIVE and Hellsing OVA 4 - Alucard Vs. Rip Van Winkle PART 1
"Hey, dude, they took your girlfriend! Heres some superpowers, go kill stuff to get your girl back!!!" I'll be damned if it's not the best introduction AND motivation i've ever seen since the last time i plugged in my NES.
@ssq778 you ever hear of the chaos effect basicly it's when you put you body and soul to a god of dark powers and he uses that to further his own wants on the mortal plane and even gods of evil hounor their promises so you'll have control until he dilvers now usually they make into an image of what their power is
They should make a move where you quickly rip off the head of those spiky demons, stake it on the spikes on it's back, and kick it away laughing. That's what I'd do if I was in this exact situation.
@Fayejealousy So that they could give the game a comedic vibe and make it sound more like a mentor and ally than something you think will always betray you.
Can't say I care for the cussing. Seems forced. Like they're only doing it to sound hip or "hardcore" (like in the GTA games). I loved the soundtracks of the originals, especially part two. I hope parts of the new soundtrack pay homage to the oldies (especially the Basement theme from part two).
Wow...I don't know what I was expecting...but it was inevitable. A god of War knockoff...again...Lots of blood...disguting amounts of it and bad background music....I don't know where the good is in this game or if there should be any.
but enough of my bashing: This game is still the kind of remake it is supposed to be and I am grateful for Namco and dan Tovar for making this game. My criticism has nothing to do with the game's fun and solid gameplay.
I also wanted to see two more bosses: Master Dead and Evil Cross. And phase 2 boss... I wish it had been made as a multi-legged creature such as earwigs, centipedes, spiders, scorpions, etc. Now to the two big flaws: 1. The ending: a cliffhanger. It was rather anticlimactic and... tepid. A conclusive ending would've been very nice, and an unhappy ending at that. I was hoping to see Rick being forced to KILL his girlfriend. 2. Rick vs. Leonora. This duel should've been more epic but...
As much as I loved and adored this game there were some minor letdowns on my part. I will list them. Like I said, they are just minor letdowns.
Lack of enemy varieties; many of them re-occur and in palette swaps. I wanted to see obas and their floating eggs (Phase 9 exclusive), sludge creatures in the sewer (officially called water deads), skull-bats (concept art. Too bad they did not make it to the game), picture ghosts and flying phantoms with skulls (these last two are 2-D exclusive).
@masterdk29 yeah ! its fucking damn good ! =D there are many features and the old splatterhouse games are avaible too as a bonus . i have this game and i didnt wanna exchange it or even sell it . ^^ this game is a damn bomb . trust me . =3
o.o this is... this is... ONE OF THE MOST AWESOME GAMES I'VE EVER SEEN! O-O blood, gore, ripped off limbs, i love it. Awesome :D 1000000000000/5 stars
Damn dude.... This is probably one of the most goriest games I have ever seen in my entire life. 0_0 And the voice actor for Rick is the same who voiced Spiderman/Peter Parker from the Spectacular Spiderman cartoon but I can't seem to remember his name. Anyway, can't wait to watch more.
