That looked pretty cool. While you were talking about influences, I started noticing parts that reminded me of Mega Man, Batman: Return of the Joker, and GI Joe. That is some excellent pedigree.SNESdrunk wrote:Thursday, January 15, 2015 - Vice: Project Doom

I think you're dead-on here, it's always dangerous to talk down to an audience, so to speak. It's a good idea from a sales, growth and marketing perspective, but in the real world, word of mouth will eventually get out that this game "is for kiddies and/or idiots." And even then it's a crapshoot whether or not they'll like it.Gunstar Green wrote:I always saw Mystic Quest as a game without an audience.
People who weren't RPG fans probably weren't going to play it, and if they did it likely wasn't going to change their mind about the genre. People who were RPG fans were going to be bored out of their minds.
It was a good idea, but it just didn't work out the way they intended. Final Fantasy fans got a game they didn't want and non-Final Fantasy fans just didn't care.
But having an RPG skewed towards a younger crowd was still a good idea. We all know how Pokémon worked out.
Love seeing this. Literally everyplace else I can see, people are crapping all over the game.BoneSnapDeez wrote:Mystic Quest is the shit. Love it.
Mystic Quest > most modern FF games
It's on the list. A list that's like 50+ games long now.Faltain wrote:Dig your reviews dude, keep them coming.
If I may recommend a game not many people talk about that I think should be talked about a bit... Equinox.
Great music (by the wonderful Folin), good colorful graphics, challenge based on level design and not poor controls or design... it's an underappreciated gem for what it is IMO. I always wished there was another sequel.
