Jak II. If I recall correctly, it was some mission where you had to escape from the cops while on a hoverbike. I just couldn't beat it no matter how many hours and days I spent trying.
A really good setlist. A few of my favorites from the first two Project Diva games, but no Just Be Friends saddens me. Hoping for DLC then. Thanks for the post.
What a fun idea! Here are some graphics for how I was thinking of the item pick-ups could look:
Sorry about the quality, these were kind of a rush job. Anyway, I came up with the idea of having the icon float in place, making it a bit more enticing to grab (even the subtlest of movements is better than no movement at all, I say). Then I thought about times I play Bomberman with others and always someone (including myself) having to ask what a pick-up does. Not wanting to get rid of the symbol representation, I figured giving each item a back design saying clearly what the pick-up gives you could be useful, to which I made the icon spin to show you just that. I then tried to combine the two because why not.
I also came up with a few other ideas that I didn't have time to mock-up such as tiny sparkles coming off of the icon, the icon jumping up and down, giving the face of the icon a sheen, and a few other really minor ones. If you think any of this is cool, Fobwashed, let me know and I could try to crank out the other power-ups in the style(s) you prefer.
In terms of other ideas, I think it would be cool if the screen would jolt and shake a bit every time a bomb explodes and even more so when a chain reaction happens. I believe general motion and movement to just about anything is able to add a lot (if my icons didn't tell you that already). The motion may become a bit distracting (and not possible maybe? I don't really know anything about coding), but if this game is going to be over-the-top, this feels like the right touch to give it that even more over-the-topness.
I also intend to try my hand at ripping some sound clips of the duders as well as make a body for them. Hopefully I can get back to you with something soon.
In any case, awesome work so far, Fobwashed! Can't wait for the finished product.
It's worth a try, absolutely. Not everyone is going to love it (hell, not everyone is going to even like it if the replies in this thread didn't tell you that much), but there's a reason why it got a sequel, a bunch of spin-offs and why the E3 reveal for the upcoming sequel got so much buzz.
They're fun games to put it simply. A pretty cool action RPG that also likes to play fan service to Final Fantasy fans and/or Disney fans. If you are either, then you'll most likely get something out of the game. If you are both, even better. Nonetheless, the game has a pretty fun combat system and the story isn't too bad (until you get to the spin-offs, but you really don't have to).
Of course as other people have expressed, it's obviously not a perfect game. But if you think there's even a small chance you'll find enjoyment in the game, then by all means purchase 1.5, see for yourself now if you know 2.5 and 3 will be something you want down the line.
