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.

Fucking yesssssss. I'm so glad the first one did so well here. Here's hoping Just Be Friends is in this one.

The Vic Viper. I'm just a sucker for the Gradius games and I think "Vic Viper" is such a sick name.
