On the subject of badly aged games

@Krelian-co:

There you are.... I was wondering when you would show up..... :)

Actually, stopping to shoot is just realistic. It's not all that fun, though. I enjoyed RE4, but I eventually stopped playing it before beating it, so I must not have enjoyed it that much.

@PurpleMan5000:

Exactly..... however I think Stopping to shot in a Co-Op does serve another purpose besides realism.... I think it promotes better Cooperation...... the game would be pretty awkward if the mechanics allowed you to do things so much better that it negates the need for a partner.....

Hence why President Evil 5 creams 4 and 6

A lot of old games get a bad rap from a visual standpoint, imo. I hear a lot of people rag on snes Starfox and many N64 games. Old consoles greatly relied on good displays for optimal picture quality.

Anything in 3D prior to the launch of the Dreamcast is completely unplayable to me today. I have no idea how I played those games back then, because they give me a headache now.

It's basically MGS1 with MGS2's gameplay. And crazy cutscenes. Which in MGS lore, doesn't mean shit.

So I'm on NG+ and this time my goal is simply..... get the Lord Vessel as fast as possible....

In just over an hour I rang both Bells.... I only killed bosses.... nothing else and finally made it to Ornstein and Fatso..... so Ornstein leans foward in his legendary "Im gonna shove this up your ass" stance in preperation of the Ultimate Lunge, and me being the clever sexy fox that I am... position my self so that Smough Blocks Ornstein...... and lo and behold.... it worked.... Ornstein lunge was cancelled by Smoughs fat ass.....or atleast thats would have happened in any other properly designed game.....

but this Dark Souls so

Heres what happened.... l Ornstein did actually stop when he colided with Smough then he leaps into the air to do the jumping thrust but before he can even finnish.... he teleports back to the ground already in motion charging towards me to finnish the lunge that Smough Cancelled.....

Teleporting thing is nothing new.... in DarK Root Garden the Ents flat out dissapear and reappear when you cross the bridges.... in New Londo the Dark Wraiths teleport to the entrance of that large room where the steps are......

And according to Steven and Tony they Crystal Soul Speared a Batwing Demon so hard that it didn't even get a chance to die.... it just vanished into thin air..... this is the bloody game with 89 on Metacritic.....

Also I just learned you can't parry the Dark Wraith's 4 hit flurry...... Harsh but fair my Fat Ass !

Battle Arena Toshinden aged pretty badly, shame too as that was my 1st 3d fighter.
