Yup you get better after a run - jump further. That is all I can think of. Oh, and you can attack more enemies at the same time while running.

I doubt you're a wimp, but I do suspect you of having ties with Confounding Factor I just don't like the fact that the game holds the characters back when he's close to an edge. And I really dislike the fact that the character just has to look at the point he want to go to for the game to guide him there. But then again, I adore Maximo so what do I know about 'modern' platformers

According to EA Canada the Nintendo DS patent is fake. The patents are real, but from Kirby's Tilt 'n Tumble. I was told...

10/10 Why didn't I told it like that

I think this is going nowhere I hope you all enjoy Galleon. I just can not explain why I do not like the game. I can go on and on about what Í think is flawed but that's useless

I'm not talking about grabbing a ledge, I'm talking about that you just can not walk off the ledge. You just can't. If the AI grabs the ledge automaticly (zelda, mario etc) it still gives yóu the feeling you did something good. Something that prevent a certain death. In Galleon you can walk and NEVER fall of a ledge. Or run and then the AI will grab the ledge in case you fall off. See the difference? It's the same as a invisible wall to me. "Hoho, hold on sir. You are not allowed to go here. There is no sign that tells you that, but let me introduce myself - the invisible wall". In Galleon it's the same, the invisible wall prevent you from falling when walking (not running, mind).

Spot on! But why run when you can walk? Why look for danger when you can easily avoid it? Why play on the edge of death (=ledge) when you can wálk over it, without having to worry about death, dying or falling (or a timelimit). It dullifies (?) the adventuring. Isn't walking small ledges what makes a adventure game a adventure game? Adventuring with the 99% assurance you can't die from making a misstep is dull, boring and brainnumbing.

I like the fifth girl in the red banner So, any of the girls on the forum look like her

I have no idea what that last word means. http://www.df0.nl/weblog/beeld/Megami48-HotGimmick.jpg gotta learn me the Mah Jong rules... fast

Poet, why believe people you know and not the ones you do not know? Is it that you don't want to hear that Galleon is not very good to say the least? The last thing I want you to do is believe me on my word, but I find Galleon not good for several reasons. Reasons I have already told you in other Galleon threads. Fair enough, I have not played the 100% finished build, more like the 98% one but the overall game exprerience is exactly the same. And that experience is terrible is you ask me. Graphics, sound, replay value, multiple characters - the hell with it. I couldn't care less about the visual style of Galleon. Sure it looks weird but not bad. It fits perfectly in the style of the game. But what I do care about is the overall feel of the game. Galleon is wáááy to polished (walk and in 99% you just cannot make a mistake like walking of a ledge. Hell, you just steer to the point you want to go and the hero walks the perfect path!), and 'old' gameplay ingredients were redone without a good reason. Hooray for creativity, but it must serve a purpose. Inventing 'new' gameplay thingies just for the heck/fun of it is a waste of time if you ask me. And galleon is full of these thingies (see other galleon threads). The team did too much thinking. 'What else can be redone? Ah yes, thát!' The result is a game filled with nice ideas that serve no purpose, or are so creative that I love the 'old' gameplay thingies (walk over a small ledge and steer very carefully) even more. But that's just me.

Wait a minute. So people who do not like Galleon - me, me, me - have probably no significance amount of knowledge about games/gaming? Thanks

*cough*bullshit*cough* Is CVG sure they reviewed Galleon and not The Incredibles (upcoming movie by Pixar)?

I'm sure Tarantino can 'make' a superb game. He is nutty/creative enough to come up with some lovely creations. Kill Bill - the action sequences - can be done in a Devil May Cry manner.

Libero Grande Runabout 1, 2, Super, 3 Wreckless on PS2/GC

9/10

That was Outrun 2 on Xbox

Sega will not develop a console or handheld. Period. Now what can be possible is the following. Miyamoto and Naka are close peronal friends. Naka 'wants' to make a game together with Miyamoto. Problem is that Naka wants it to be multiplatform, something Miyamoto just can not do. Since people are talking about the 'big Sega shockwave' it can be possible that Naka and Miyamoto work togehter on a game on GameCube. Or on GBA SP and DS. Or on PS2, Xbox, GC, GBA SP, DS and PSP. Maybe Sonic Team will merge with Nintendo.

btw, no Sega hardware accouncement at E3. No console, no handheld. Fact

11 - 14 May to be exact. Pre-E3 is the 10th Expect to hear a PSP feature you will not believe

I agree. Top fun. A friend who played the game couldn't stop laughing, he even cried. While laughing. And how hilarious is a dino with a zipper on his belly

Yes I have played it... in the ARCADE. Not on the XBOX. And what I am saying is that the Xbox version will probably/certainly be a boring as hell experience. Sega Rally is superb in arcade, not on Saturn/Dreamcast. Daytona is hell on Saturn. House of the Dead 2 is brainnumbing on Dreamcast. See the pattern?

Hooray... another Sega arcade game port. When will it stop. Sega arcade games are bollocks at home. House of the Dead, Crazy Taxi, Sega Rally, Daytona USA, Outrun. Just not fun to do at home if you ask me. It lacks the arcade-thrill-X-factor. So Outrun 2 will just be another dissapointment. Hell, even Sega AM2 said so months ago when a friend of my interviewed AM2 in Japan! 'We have the game [Outrun 2] running on all three platforms and playing it is just no fun. Let's just hope the game will get a 25 Pound/30 Euro pricetag.
