alianger posted a message in the forum topic Do you skip through the story/dialogue in the games you play?. on the General Discussion board Jun 30, 8:42am

Yeah, if it's bad and it doesn't seem like I'll need it to progress. If we're talking just speeding up slow dialogue with VA, yeah I do that a lot unless I really like the story and VA which doesn't ...

alianger posted a message in the forum topic Why Doom is not 3D. on the General Discussion board Jun 6, 5:25pm

For me it's about how you can interact with the game world. It's not fully 3D because you can't look up and down nor properly move on all three axes since you can't jump or climb.

Major Havoc (ARC, 1983) - Rail Shooter/Maze Platformer hybrid w/ floaty physics that would make the LBP devs jealousDragon's Lair (ARC, 1983) - FMV Action/QTE. Still a bafflingly stupid idea. Marble M...

Xeno Crisis (MD etc.) is kind of Gauntlet like. Moreso like Smash TV though.

alianger posted a message in the forum topic Keyboard and Mouse Non-Shooter Recs?. on the General Discussion board May 24, 10:46am

RTS games though these can get pretty demanding and time consuming. Warcraft 3 or Dawn of War 2 (this has no base building in SP) are relatively easy to get into for a beginner. Or perhaps Settlers se...

This is kind of funny but I was actually listening to the warcraft 1 ost the other day while reading a developer blog on the making of it, to get in the mood. It tends to work if the music is instrum...

alianger posted a message in the forum topic Mega May Madness: Light Crusader. on the Light Crusader board May 11, 9:21am

Solid game for sure, though I wouldn't call it an RPG or even ARPG.I think it excels in some quality of life aspects like the map, fast travel and inventory systems (which has sorting), and most of th...

alianger posted a message in the forum topic Nobody likes Twilight Princess?. on the The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess board Feb 8, 4:48pm

I would say it was a bit better than the previous 3D Zeldas (not counting hacks or the remasters), if not a fave as I prefer some of the 2D ones in various ways. Very good dungeons and overall control...

alianger posted a message in the forum topic Which Spyro the Dragon platformer is the best?. on the General Discussion board Feb 4, 10:17am

I've played only 1-3 but would go with 2 out of those. It's a similar situation to DKC, where the first game plays it pretty safe and the second one gets more creative, but also a bit gimmicky at time...

alianger posted a message in the forum topic What do you hate about marvel movies and their current popularity? (including movies, games, etc.). Not just MCU.. on the Off-Topic board Jan 18, 3:51am

Mainly that people have such low standards, though it's not something I go around thinking about and it's not like I don't have good movies to watch because of them. I guess it could be worse in that ...
