Played the first one and then just got this one on the PS Vita. I see that it's also on PC.
Anyone play this? It's pretty damn fun. Pretty violent for an 8 bit game. Trippy storyline.

Played on PC for about 5 minutes and didn't understand what the big deal with this game is.

You must not have done it right.

tbh, I don't know how it would be on a PC since there are so many alternatives. But it's great on the small screen.

Nah, definitely know how to play a video game. It's just outside of playing on a phone this game is complete trash. Even for a phone game this game barely cuts it.

I saw gameplay of the first and didn't understand the big deal either.

Maybe it was too hard for you and you got frustrated. Sorry I can't recommend any RPGs where you can just make choices.

Nope, the difficulty comes from the twitch shooter mechanics, just like a Call of Duty game, but from the top down view. The game just sucks. Even for nostalgia, it's pretty difficult to play an NES game in this day and age IMO.

It really sounds like you just didn't give it a chance. You need to overlook the graphics and focus on the gameplay. I'm not saying it's Goldeneye or anything. But it's a great ge to play in 20 minute increments. The second one adds in the puzzle aspect of the first.

Its just that the top down view is no longer appealing anymore.

Dead Nation is the same way. Although I did enjoy that one because at least the graphics were up to par with today's standards.

Yeah. I get it. As I said, it works great on that Vita. 1st person or 3/4 angle can get pretty crowded in the little screen. But I think DJE just likes role at stuff with the pretty colorful characters.

I'm too damn old to sit and play a game that doesn't at least draw me in visually.. short attention span for video games these days.

I can play a top down shooter, but at the least expect 3D graphics.. Hatred is gonna be the shit.

That looks badass. I haven't bought a new game for PC in a long time.
