    Sega killed a lot of franchises without trying... they just gave up (e.g. Vectorman, Shining Force, Phantasy Star, Beyond Oasis, Chakkan, Virtua Fighter...) Sega needs to re-invest! Oh an d Ristar, Dynamite Heddy, or Gunstar Heros? Burning Rangers? Panzer Dragoon??? Shenmue. I'm sorry but the list goes on NiGHTS!!!!

      The Shinning series has been going without stopping, the thing is, the new games have nothing to do with the originals, at all.

      If there was a list "Top 10 failures of Sega history" one entry should be "Loosing Camelot Software Planning to Nintendo". First we had Sega fans aching for more Shining Force, but now we also have Nintendo players wanting more Golden Sun. Camelot recently stated that they would like to make SF4, but nothing happened since. It's a shame. I would fund that game personally if I was rich enough.

    Having bought all of the Burnout games-- even Crash-- I don't think we can attribute the death of the series to any one game. Instead, we can chalk it up to Electronic Arts doing what it does by reassigning studios that it buys to other IP and slowly choking it to death. The kiss of death for Burnout was the reassignment of Criterion to Need For Speed, trying to re-energize that series. It basically was a Burnout game, with NFS skin. Burnout Crash came later, but by then, the fate of series was basically sealed. Criterion was now a NFS developer-- much like Neversoft was pulled from Tony Hawk and thrust into Guitar Hero.

    There's a strategy in the GBA F-Zero games thats basically required, but the only game that teaches it is Maximum Velocity. While you're turning you can release the accelerator to turn tighter, and then press the accelerator again to do a "burst" which changes your angular velocity to the direction your ship is pointing. Basically, start turning then tap the A button with a bit of a rhythm, and you'll be able to take really tight turns, and more importantly, avoid the pinball effect. if you let Maximum Velocity sit at its title screen for a little while, it will play a video about how to do the burst turn. It really makes GP Legend much more playable.

      Question Block Gaming Damn, why the hell is such an awesome (and apparently almost vital) feature never brought up otherwise?

    • @QuestionBlockGaming
      @QuestionBlockGaming 7 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      Joseph Wise Because the handheld F-zero games were fun, but ultimately an afterthought. In GP Legend's case, it was a rushed cash-in on an incredibly mediocre anime. That said, I love the track design, and GP Legend has most of the characters from the N64 version, including my favorite ship, the White Cat.

    • @TatsuyaSN
      @TatsuyaSN 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Exactly what I was going to post: release and tap the accelerator in corners Dave.
      You didn't understand the gameplay mechanic. GP Legend is probably the best GBA game overall.

      Question Block Gaming F-Zero Climax is my favourite of the GBA games, it even had a track editor and users could share their tracks with others using the codes generated in the game. It's funny how there were only two true 3D F-Zero games compared to the SNES (including the Satellaview exclusives) and GBA games.

  • @BainesMkII
    @BainesMkII 7 ปีที่แล้ว +51

    Don't blame Other M's failure (only) on Team Ninja. The story and portrayal of Samus was the fault of Yoshio Sakamoto, who has been in charge of the Metroid series since Super Metroid, and is also the writer of the Metroid manga. His vision of Samus is pretty much the exact opposite of how Samus was always portrayed in the West. Sakamoto's version is short and insecure, suffers severe daddy issues to the point that she is dangerously (and nearly lethally in the case of Other M) submissive, and also suffers from (again nearly lethal in the case of Other M) emotional breakdowns.
    Metroid could have survived a bad game. The biggest problem may really be the disconnect between Sakamoto's vision of Samus and the rest of the world's vision. In this more story-heavy age, it also doesn't help that Sakamoto isn't a particularly good writer. Nor is his game design necessarily that great either. Basically, the series needs someone else in charge, maybe with Sakamoto demoted to a "creative consultant" role, at least as long as the new person in charge is willing to overrule most of what Sakamoto says... (Sakamoto has a few good ideas, but that is it.)

    • @solarstrike33
      @solarstrike33 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think Nintendo is scared of launching another 'troid with Samus as the protagonist, fearing Sakamoto and the fan's reactions to the characterization. Kinda like preventing another Other M.

    The sarcasm is so thick, Joe gave us a tutorial. I love it! Although I thought Joe was far to kind to Lunar on the 3DS. Any game that takes away from your MP while running, makes you turn on the experience function, and has you screaming at your handheld should be tossed in a garbage disposal while on fire.
    Addendum- I would buy another F-Zero if it landed on the Switch.

      @Aztyph 7 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Truth be told, if I had to deal with walking that drained my HP, a choice between either XP or items, a party that was useless save for the main character, monsters that levels with you and could utterly wreck your party *because* of most of your party being trash, the MC's attack power being gimped a roughly a third of the way into the game because of a curse that didn't let him stand on his head, a plodding storyline that has very little elements from the original games, and a "final boss" with a message that completely contradicted the story, then I wouldn't bother giving the game a chance, either.

    • @Aztyph
      @Aztyph 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Check out the battle footage at 3:25 in the video. You can see that Jian stands on his head to execute a kick for the third attack in his combo. Well, when the curse is applied partway through the game, it robs him of being able to stand on his head, meaning that the damage that he deals is effectively neutered until he can clear himself of it through an event later in the story.
      My best guess is that the curse threw off his equilibrium to prevent him standing on his head, but the game never explains that, and there could be a host of other curses used to hamper the hero. Like many aspects of the game, its inclusion is puzzling, to put it mildly.

    The Power Stone series. Imagine Super Smash Bros. styled gameplay, except in true 3D. Lots of items, moving stages, unique characters. Every surface could be used as a springboard. Amazing game mechanics that just made it stand apart from any other fighting game then or since. Capcom originally made 2 of them for the dreamcast, and then made a compilation on the PSP. And that was the last time they ever touched the series. Maybe if they had released them on a different console then maybe the series might not have died.

Have you guys ever considered doing an episode on the Genesis?

    The likely reason they made the run button drain your HP in Lunar is because it can be used to run away from and avoid enemies, so they intended to give the player a disadvantage for doing so. That's why speeding up the battles doesn't drain HP, as it doesn't directly give you any advantage in the game. Just a thought.

    PD is another one. Everyone loved Perfect Dark, but then PD Zero came out and killed the series :(. Very short lived. Weapons are boring, they made Joanna American and cartoony, multiplayer did not have special AI settings for the bots, and there was no cheat/bonus modes. It's like they took everything that added replay value and charm in the original, and then removed it.

      Nuts and Bolts is great. I find the people that call it bad generally fall into at least one of three categories:
      1) They've never played it and are just parroting others.
      2) They're salty that it's not a platformer, or
      3) They don't have a creative bone in their body and can't enjoy sandbox games.
      Despite it having (quite) a few issues, the central game mechanic was solid and unique - it wasn't until Scrap Mechanic came along that the "lego vehicle" mechanics were served justice (Robocraft eschewed creativity in favour of stats and Homebrew did away with the blocky interface).

"What? it's Samus' 30th birthday?!? oh, let's just force the creators of AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake); people who have worked on this game for years, this amazing passion project, and force them to take it down." great job nintendo......really doing the metroid franchise justice there. that is probably my biggest complaint with nintendo. there is no way i am buying a switch without an amazing Metroid game.

    • @ZiKoN22
      @ZiKoN22 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      incorrect. I think Nintendo has completely neglected one of their most beloved franchises. Do you know how easy it would be for Nintendo to just remake Metroid 2 with Metroid Zero Mission graphics and sprites? extremely easy is the answer. the game is already made, you just need to change all the graphics. oh idk, how about create a 3DS compilation game with Metroid zero mission, metroid 2, and fusion? bam, easy money. another random idea, why doesn't Nintendo just buy AM2R from the guys who made the game? just buy the game, and resell it. easy. And my point is, Nintendo has gone completely overboard with "cracking down" on "people mooching off their ip's". all those let's players, and the biggest example, Angry Joe. that is what i am trying to say.
      i used the love nintendo and be a diehard fan, but when they decided to try and shove a gimmick into every game they make instead of just focusing on making a good game that basically when the love for nintendo died out.

      Jesus Christ, you're a moron. Nintendo are _ridiculously_ overstretching their legal muscles - arguably to the point of illegality with regards to TH-cam monetisation. AM2R was never sold for profit or hosted on adspace, so Nintendo didn't _need_ to shut it down. They could've done what _pretty much every other game publisher/developer does_ and appreciate their fans and celebrate their fandom. Nintendo even (allegedly) went so far as to get AM2R and a Pokemon fangame pulled from the Video Game Awards as best fan creation contenders. They want to bury anything they can that could even _remotely_ compete with them (it's how they dominated the 8-bit era after all). They are unreasonably possessive of their IP - to the point where it's clearly doing them more harm than good, losing them fans, respect and free exposure.

      What horse shit. It was a genuinely good (not perfect) game.

    Final Fight Streetwise was such a sad title. The devs apparently wanted to make something far more respectful of the series and its origins, with an art style that was inspired by the initial three titles, but were hamstrung by Capcom USA into making it a GTA styled affair with grittier visuals, and much more adult content. I don't know if we would have gotten a good game if the team were left to make want they originally wanted, but it would be nice to have a proper throwback at some point.

    On Final Fight Streetwise, I think why different actions were mapped to different buttons was to eliviate doing a wrong action in combat.

      Burnout was always about 3 things: excessive speed, reckless endangerment, and over-the-top crashes on defined tracks & intersections (crash junctions, if you will). Open world exploration was not a good fit for the series. In this type of game, I prefer a predetermined course with maybe a few small shortcuts over the "here's a city map - go find everything yourself" approach that Burnout Paradise took.

You know, like in Wipeout HD. Also, you can tap the accelerate button to assist in getting your craft pointing in the right direction. Just watch the attract mode and you'll notice a LOT of acceleration tap-bursting. Yes, I just made that name up but it's basically what it is. But yes, the story mode tracks suck.

  • @uoyredrum

    Honestly I have to disagree with almost your entire assessment of Golden Axe: Beast Rider. It's not the best game, but it's a lot better than you're giving it credit for and a lot of your complaints could be made against other games that wouldn't get the same grief. For example you said that "you have to wait until your attacks are done before you can do something else". The same thing is true of Dark Souls and it's not a bad thing.
    "There's no combo system that i can find" Yeah there is
    "Enemies constantly spawn and shoot at you from off screen" ...so just like most games of this type?
    "The dodge and parry system is dumb" Ok, why?
    "Fight a crap ton of enemies, go to the next area, fight a crap ton of enemies etc." ...so...Golden Axe?
    Honestly there's plenty to complain about with this game, I just found the reasons you gave to be pretty...shallow. I'd much rather complain about the lack of multiplayer in a Golden Axe game.

      Dave Bladegun 3 was kind of a disappointment

      Streets of Rage 3 was still a very good and a popular game, it was just a grade worse than the 2nd one (think B vs. A+). But hardly a franchise killer.

      Sylvester Wallace 3 was my favorite. the game mechanics was the best. I hated 2's clunky gameplay so much I only played it twice.

    Banjo-Kazooie. Then Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts happened. -_-

      N&B might have been a better game had the Banjo-Kazooie IP not been attached to it.
      Blame Rare falsely believing collectathons were dead.

    Great episode! I think a lot of what happened with these is that publishers think 'we're stuck with this crapper that won't sell but we've already spent a bunch half making it - how can we fix that?' And so they slap on a license to try and rectify the sales situation - ultimately meaning while the short term damage is limited, the long term damage is lasting. Final Fight Streetwise definitely had this effect, and was adapted to be more of a final fight game during development. Not sure about Beast Rider, but would it be a surprise if so?
    Other games to suffer from this I think are Altered Beast for PS2, but I think it's usually pretty obvious when a game has had a franchise slapped on in this way in an effort to try and 'save it', killing the franchise!

      Huh? FFXV was a res--
      oh wait. You like Spoony, don't you?

      Shouldn't you just ignore FF if you don't like it? I mean, it worked for me.

      FF13 almost killed the franchise for me. It was so bad, so bad... But then they released FFXV, and things got way better. I'm not sure if its because it's because FF13 was so bad, of if FFXV is really good though.

      Kane Smith FF 13 killed it for most fans... but FF 15 is OK so I don't really think the franchise is dead anymore. I just wish they would go back to their old roots again.
