Gaming Letdowns

Just Spirit Tracks in general was a let down for me...

 

I enjoyed spirit tracks to be honest, except the main train gimmick got a little irritating after a while
It definitely was more fun sailing across the sea trying to find hidden islands

I don't know if you're talking about the sailing in Phantom Hourglass or Wind Waker

Spoiler

Or Sonic Rush 2, that had the same bullshit involving hidden islands

But I personally enjoyed the sailing in Wind Waker, it was fun going in random directions, exploring, and feeding fish. If you're talking about Phantom Hourglass, then I agree, it's boring and just not fun.

 

Obviously he's talking about phantom hourglass, because in wind waker there was an island in every square on the map.

 

Ah, I thought he probably meant Phantom Hourglass but a fair amount of islands in Wind Waker are useless so I thought maybe he meant that. Also, to add something to this thread, the fact that there hasn't been a Point A to Point B 2D platforming Castlevania since Rondo of Blood (Not counting the WiiWare one, which I think is a remake) is something I find extremely disappointing. I didn't really get into Castlevania until July last year, but I really liked Castlevania I and was disappointed that there were only about 6 more games of that type in the series.

 

I'm sad about it too. But hey aleast they are some point A to B games in the series. Better then nun of that type.

 

The non-linearity of most of the games is part of the basis for an entire genre, Metroidvanias.
I'd be let down if they made a linear one like you're suggesting.

 

I enjoyed wind waker a lot more than phantom hourglass, but yeah the game world was a bit too huge for my liking. If it had a smaller world and was able to give more islands an actual purpose then I probably would have enjoyed it more.

 

Literally every island had a purpose in the form of sidequests sidequests sidequests
Which is pretty impressive seeing as there was just shy of 50 of them

When I killed Toriel, I was pretty disappointed. All that work, and yet she gave no exp. What a rip.

Well you can't lose, so there's no reason to get any exp.

 

Spoiler

It'd make sense to me if bosses in general didn't give exp so one could min-level run the game 'savagely'. Then again I forget if napstablook gives exp or not; I think I only ever 'killed' him once (but I think he just says "Ghosts can't die but I'll just pretend I did so you don't feel bad" -- so it would doubly make sense if he gave no exp).

 

A let down for me is when I first realized that there hasn't been a CS2...ever, such a same in my opinion.

 

I'm kind of glad there isn't a Cave Story 2...

 

I'm honestly kinda glad that there's no Cave Story 2 also... It's really the kind of game that should only have one game. If there was a sequel though, I wouldn't have much of a problem, it's just that it's been 10 years since the game came out and it would be kind of... abrupt if there was. Also, there's also all those fan made Cave Story 2's, it would be weird if this sequel just invalidated all of those.

 

That's true too admit, and I guess it would be a problem seeing; who would the new villain be, what new characters there would be. Yah you and Polaris have a good point.

You heartless and cruel excuse of a person.

^That was an exaggerated comment, before anyone decides to take it seriously (It's the internet, I need special precautions)

 

Nah you got him down alright

 

Can I just post an entire game?

I got this, used, from GameStop, for ten f***ing dollars. And I don't even want to try and sell it because I feel bad for whoever buys it from me.
