Sounds kinda interesting comma so I’ll have to check that out dot

Oh and one more thing. Fi says to change the batteries in your Wii Remote! XD

The one level I died the most in with the old games? DKC 2, the race against the fracking black bird. Died dozens of times, but it’s to be expected. When you die repeatedly in the beginning and use 250 lives by the end? Something’s not right.

Be glad you never saw the bonus world.

It’d be nice to have an opinion rather than Caleb’s speechlessness.

That sounds like fun. Again, I’ve never ACTUALLY played the game myself, but, (shrug) who knows. You may be able to persuade me to do so.

I didn’t play it live on the feed cause Caleb can’t stand over the top, but since I lost my save data, I may consider replaying it, this time on the feed.

We should have a good discussion some time about this, maybe on the podcast. I think we each have good points, and maybe I can highlight for you some of the different views I have on the game.

But I did love the music, particularly Windfall’s Tune. I also was addicting to the sword fighting; it was awesome when you can hit the enemy from behind. You know that flip.

And, I don’t know about you guys, but I love Tingle, too. =p

I bet once he starts working on the theme again, it’ll lag you up again.

It wasn’t bad for these crappy XP computers until he swapped the backgrounds out. Then it got laggy for IE8 on XP.

Also, nice blog theme. Why did you guys change it again? Not that I’m complaining; this one doesn’t massively lag my computer here at work like the old one did!

The Fall of Reach
The Flood (Halo 1)
First Strike (Between Halo 1 and 2)
Ghosts of Onyx (During Halo 2, up to Halo 3)

Other novels:

Contact: Harvest (the beginning of the Human-Covenant War)
The Cole Protocol (unrelated)
Essential Tales of the Halo Universe (dunno what’s in here.)

GRUNTPOCALYPSE!

Also, maybe I should take a peek at those novels you talked about at the beginning… Sounds kind of interesting.

I bias my reviews in the other direction for mech games to balance out the low scores everyone else hands out. XD

Though, Mech games have never EVER reviewed well in history. Everyone is biased against them, which sucks. It’s the only genre that I actually have to try everything myself because reviews just trash on mechs all day long. Irritating, really.

Anyway, my friend that played FME at Gamescome told me that controls are just fine, of course I will check that for myself when game will come out, at least controls of PC version.

I must also say that leaked review(yes review) from Japan(specyfically from some Japanese game magazine called Dengeki) said that;
- controls feel a lot like FM Online’s.
- getting money in the game is a problem
- Easy Mode is really easy, don’t play it unless you’re completely new to TPS
- CG movies are pretty good
- walking is slow, must use roller dash to move quickly
- wanzer animation is good, smooth
- wanzer customization is fun, lots of parts to use
- poor character development, but overall story is alright
Review also mentioned that game is too short(sure 10-15 h is horribly short, the horror of games today eh) and not as impressive as FMO (but that is rather obvious because FMO was big MMOTPP shooter with monthly fee and all) yet it seems like summary of review was rather more positive than negative.

Sorry I can’t link to review, all this was brought up by LegaiaRules (guy responsible for Front Mission 5 english translation etc.) on Gamespot forums.

Btw. FME developers said many times that multiplayer will be very team based and comepetitive, there will be ranking system, players with time will be getting better parts/weapons and weapon upgrades(kinda skills) + there are backpacks like;
- anti-missile
- item (probably more stuff we can put on our wanzer)
- repair backpack
- turbo(we can skate longer)
- EMP backpack
- agility (high jump ability, and speed bonus)
Anyway can’t wait for this.
