Despite the Saturn port's shoddy programming (seriously, how do you screw up a 2D game on the Saturn?), I prefer the gameplay in the Saturn version. Being able to run and having a better hitbox on the dive kick just make the game so much nicer to play.

You know I've never played the Saturn version. I've never played a Saturn period. But running is something I dont need in the game, I've played it so much that I just naturally do shield dash cancels when I play. Now a better dive kick hit box would be nice.

Final Fantasy X outside of OST just sucks. It has so much in common with the trash that is FF13 series.
When you boil the story down..the bitch is crazy as she imagined the whole thing. Meg Ryan with a dick and Normura's shit art design as usual. UI is awful. Combat isn't even fun. Fuck the sphere grid.

Running isn't quite as fast as the shield dash cancels, but it's more fun and looks a LOT less weird. And also you end up facing the correct direction. The dive kick in infinitely more fun on the Saturn. Sometimes I'll dive-kick Legion to death just for fun.

This is true. If people are watching me play SOTN then I fight the instinct to do shield dash. They just give me funny looks as my thumb is mashing away at the controller and Alucard awkwardly reverse humps his way down the corridors.

Don't speed runs give us such stilted impressions of some games we may not have played? Could not imagine someone watching an SoTN speed run and then trying to reverse engineer how the game actually is supposed to work.

Oh I would be lost if the speedrun was my only impression of the game. It's like, ok I know you can jump through the floor here and end up by dracula...how do I do that? Is that how you win? :lol:

Only played 2 in the series. 3D drop something and the first Kingdom Hearts.
Both are terrible. First one is esp bad with an awful camera,bad platforming and a really lazy and shit battle system. Again story is stupid surprise surprise Normura. Stupid looking characters...again Normura..shocker.


Ok he did give me TWEWY on DS and that game is awesome.

Wii Sports is a terrible game. It was like buying a new computer with crapware on it that needed to be uninstalled. It was something you played with your girlfriend or a child. I don't even consider it a game.
