    Why are platformers not getting decent review scores anymore? Seriously, holy shit ,from Ducktales Remastered to Yoshi's Woolly World to Yooka Laylee to this...

      Yooka-Laylee seems like it's a 6~7 game. It just seems like it could have done a lot of genre defining things or things that would make the gameplay experience fun in modern standards but fell short of those promises.
      Snake pass seemed like a more fun game than yooka laylee and I barely knew of it's existence until IGN reviewed it. Also there was the cuphead game which seemed to have gotten good reviews.
      Yoshi's woolly world seems like a 7~8 game which means that it's a great game. Nothing like a super mario but it'll do. The next mario game (super mario world) might be getting anywhere from 8~9 or maybe even higher than that so all love is not lost for platformers.

    • @sergiomonty
      @sergiomonty 7 років тому +6

      Cuphead isn't even out yet. There's no review of that game yet. Yooka Laylee is a great indie game for Banjo-Kazooie fans that seems to be unfairly reviewed as a full AAA game. Snake Pass had advertisements for Switch and PS4 everywhere. Yoshi's Woolly World is an excellent platformer. I have it. And the next Mario game is certainly not "Super Mario World"....... a game that came out in 1990. Where are you getting your facts from? geez.

      @chrisdsx5 7 років тому +2

      When this came out on master system is was mind blowing good! 10 for sure back then. Even today this game would be a solid 8 but go look up master system game in 1989 you'll see what I'm talking about. Rating it is like rating super mario bro and saying it's missing modern features by todays standards I'd rate super mario bros a 3 or 4. But at the time it was released it was mind blowing good 10 outta 10. Rating retro is not fair tbh.

    2:05 Here's a tip then - if you reload, chests besides the ones with heart pieces reset so you can keep going to them instead of grinding on enemies. The best ones are the sphinx and the intro castle ones.
    But you also don't *need* any of the more expensive shop items to reach a boss fight, you just get that gear if you find the game too hard or if you want to sequence break.

    "Forcing us to grind for randomly drop items becomes tedious"

    • @JaesadaSrisuk
      @JaesadaSrisuk 7 років тому +5

      Nachestic Just because it became standardized in the industry doesn't mean that it's still not poor game design. I'd much rather complain over something I find broken in terms of gameplay, instead of just accepting it because "all the other major titles do that".

    • @snomonster3
      @snomonster3 7 років тому +5

      Nachestic it's a valid complaint. I want to play a game that respects my time. you can get a sense of satisfaction from improving a character through grinding, but it looks like in this case it doesn't have that purpose.

    • @Nachestic
      @Nachestic 7 років тому +16

      I totally agree that is poor game design, I do not like it either. I was trying to say that the reviewer seemed to point out that this particular mechanic could have been fixed with "simple mechanics" (?) modern games have. When in reality modern games such as Destiny and the most expected Destiny 2, along with many, many other games we could get now are exploting this shitty mechanic to extend gameplay time. My point was just to discuss his "modern games got rid of this tedious stuff" with my "like hell they do".

    • @JaesadaSrisuk
      @JaesadaSrisuk 7 років тому +1

      snomonster3 I totally agree. Generally, I have very little time to devote to video games, so a title that requires hundreds of hours of grinding just to progress through the game is out of the question for me. I usually end up playing and enjoying indie games that average about two to ten hours, because I would prefer a shorter but comprehensive experience over a longer game that's more dull or monotonous.

    Yeah, yeah.
    Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?
    Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man?
    Now it's time for me to tell you about Young Nastyman,
    archrival and nemesis of Wonderboy, with powers comparable to Wonderboy.
    What powers you ask? I dunno how 'bout the power of flight?
    That do anything for ya? That's levitation, holmes.
    How 'bout the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away...
    with mind bullets! That's telekinesis, Kyle.
    How 'bout the power to move you?

    Riggah-goo-goo, riggah-goo-goo.
    A secret to be told, a gold chest to be bold,
    And blasting forth with three-part harmony, yeow!
    Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?
    Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man?
    Well, Wonderboy and Young Nastyman joined forces;
    they formed a band the likes of which have never been seen,
    and they called themselves Tenacious D. That's right,
    Me! And KG!
    We're now Tenacious D!
    Come fly with me, fly!
    Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?
    Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man,
    Oh!
    Take my hand!
    Young Nastyman, and we'll fly!
    Bring out your broadsword.
    There's the hydra.
    Slice his throat!
    And grab his scroat.
    You take the high road,
    I'll take the low.
    There, the crevasse,
    Fill it with your mighty juice.

    7.1 is harsh. I just finished this game for the second time (I think I was 9 the first time). This game is something special. Being able to switch seamlessly between original and updated graphics is a testament to how this game holds up thirty years later. Why change mechanics? Too bad you have to “grind”. I always enjoyed going back to an area that I had struggled with earlier in the game with my new equipment and utterly devastating the enemies around me. Dragon’s Trap is flat out fun to play. This game was a technical achievement for its time and extremely underrated for decades. Why change now I guess. This is the perfect piece of nastalgia to help hold me over until season three of Stranger Things.
    Also, quick tip if no one wants to “grind”. Once your Hawk Man you can fly right to the original castle from the beginning of the game. Go to the room where you fought the first dragon and get a ton of coin from a chest. Defeat all of the enemies in here and get the legendary sword and armor for free as drops. Come up the exit at the well. Instead of getting out of the well, go to the left inside of it and press up for a secret door where you can buy the legendary shield.

      I have played through this game and, even though I thought it was a great remake (and deserves a higher score maybe an 8) you cannot deny that this game has certain annoyances that are present in even some of the best 80s games. For example, there are LITERALLY INVISIBLE doors and pathways as “secrets” and difficulty is sometimes created by simply making the enemies hit harder/have more health, which just feels a bit cheap.

    @wonderfulwardy 7 років тому

    Just bought this on the PSN Store and here are my overall thoughts:-
    It replaces the MS version completely but I was left wanting more....
    Sooooo much more.... like a full blown remake. read on.....
    I'm a long term fan of the original but something about it just made me want more. Like a full blown remake of certain mechaniqs. Dragon shouldn't breath fire under water (it's so 80's gameplay), wish there was more attributes to elements etc such as certain elements should have damage variants for enemy's and player etc, more secret doors and teasure room should be able to be discovered, armor swords and shields should have special ability that goes way beyond just the one that magically makes blocks appear and destroys those very same blocks. That kind of remake is what I wanted.
    Even with the original, there are many times where I would think about where I would place certain extra treasure rooms if I were a Level Designer and was hoping they'd show up more in this remake but there is hardly anything that's new or changed from the original for the better. Another thing that would have been good is that enemy's should no longer constantly drop money after the first time you killed them, thus encouraging the player to do more exploring for treasure rooms, and going out their way to truely get rewarded. That idea alone has been engraved in my mind ever since I played the original 20+ years ago..
    I hope all this makes sense and I really wish Lizard Cube see this post I made on various youtube video reviews. I would have also loved a level editor upon completing the game too, or some multiplayer modes such as death match (yea, why not), Co-Op and more.
    I know I sound like I'm being nit-picky but the truth is, I've already rinsed both the Master System Original, The slightly remixed Game Gear Version, The Smooth 60fps Dragon Curse version on Turbo Grafx 16, and even the fan-remake on PC (which I still think is by far the best in terms of gameplay), so I was really expecting more varieation in gameplay. Not just the same game all over again.
    Don't get me wrong though, I absolutely love the new Remake's Hand-Drawn Art (it's a shame we don't get female animal forms as sprites too), and this is by far superior in every way to the Master System version (basically making it pointless), but I'd still recommend playing the Game Gear version for slight differences if you're a hardcore fan, The Dragons Curse because well, I like the sprites and wish we could have got those too for this remake, and I advise any fan out there to download the Fan Remake on PC. I even remember reaching out to the creator of that fan game for a Level Editor but he refused to offer one. :(

      Guys,don't be like that.Many games are still coming for Vita,digital and physical....
      Just yesterday,it was announced Under Night In-Birth Exe was coming to all major Sony platforms...including Vita.Also,the Vita hasn't been hacked to hell like the PSP IIRC....
      If it doesn't happen,I'll get it for Steam.😌

    It’s one of the best ‘Metroidvanias’ I’ve played, and actually pre-dates the genre. 7.1 is way too low.

    They did fix the issue of farming for charm stones to buy items, instead having just 6 of them in challenge rooms for each of Wonderboy/girl's forms. I remember that being immensely annoying when I was playing as a kid and much worse than just grinding for money.

  • @mrorange159
    @mrorange159 6 років тому +1

    Played this through again recently. Lizard cube did a great job. Honestly I would have preferred a more detailed pixel art environment and chip tune soundtrack rather than a complete redraw. The improvement of the mechanics was terrific and made the game much more playable and the orchestral sound track was fun to listen to.

    • @mrorange159
      @mrorange159 6 років тому

      I also really think we need more games like this nowadays. Even if they aren't remakes just originals... Games like axiom verge for example. These platformers are the whole reason I got in to gaming a child and I truly believe there's a huge market for them now if the developers put enough hard work and love and don't just slap dash them to try and make a quick buck. Modern games seem to be all about cinematic storylines, action, gore and violence. These little gems leave you in sort of a trance as you chop and jump about through a level. You don't get that kind of feeling in games now. Just my opinion... Maybe it's the nostalgia talking

    I gave you a thumb up a year ago but after playing this, I ended u retracting is because I don't think this score warrants this game considering that the only thing that you nit picked on in the review was a little grinding which I personally found fun. Personally, I'm so glad Filip joined your team.

    I feel it's a bonus that you have to grind instead of being able to in-app purchase. Cheating style in-app purchases have ruined a lot of games (eg NBA2K17)

  • @theanglerfish9852
    @theanglerfish9852 6 років тому

    Judging by all the efforts they did o. Sticking to the original and not ruining it with extra content (hell, you can even switch to the original if you feel like it. How many games do that?), I think it deserved far more than just 7.1.

  • @theanglerfish9852
    @theanglerfish9852 5 років тому

    If grinding is so much of a burden, never play the post 2000's Final Fantasy games expecting to get the "most powerful weapon in the game". I have played this a million times on the Master System and, quite frankly, I don't remember grinding to be an issue. The difficulty was punishing, though.

    "Is like the Dark Souls of Metroid-vanias"... But now seriously, I play the original as kid and now see and play this on the Switch with such and amazing makeover, is princeless! The animation is so fluid, is like playable art, and the music men! Jon done an amazing job but is a bit sad 'cause it seems that the game is not getting much attention, I really feel that. For me it deserves it!

    In a time where most games are apps with simple platforming... in a time when a NES Classic sells for more than an Xbox One or PS4... can we please get more games like WonderBoy: The Dragon's Trap??? Maybe Alex Kidd, Ristar, Dynamite Heady, Shining Force I&II, Phantasy Star 1-4, Beyond Oasis, Vector Man, Alien Soldier... Sega's properties could make a huge comeback if they had some comeback sauce here. Sonic Mania looks great but COMIX ZONE WITH THIS TREATMENT!?!? The Halo Anniversary effects. I know Sega didn't do this but give us some goodies and take note... ETERNAL CHAMPIONS CD???
