Who cares? There are better ways to save energy. Do you know how much energy we waste just because people won't walk? It costs energy to refine crude oil into gasoline.
The thing I find troubling about this is the fact that my PC uses less energy then my Xbox One and my PS4. With that said, OMG when you plug things into the wall they use electricity!? What have I been doing with my life!? I always thought that was wishes coming out of that damn socket in the wall. Little did I know I'd been feeding electrons to gluttonous demons.
What exactly does that have to do with the quality of the game? How people behave online has nothing to do with the quality of the game and whether it is a "fail game" or not. What do you want the developers to program a bunch of robots to play with you? Oh wait everytime a developer adds bots to a game the only thing people can say is how stupid the AI is. Some people are impossible to please and they are stupid.
Your the only one being fooled. Being fooled into thinking you're intelligent or know something. This game has lots of variety. So does Borderlands. No one said Borderlands or this game have infinite possibilities. They do have nearly endless possibilities though. Last I checked different means different. If the stats are different on a gun then it is different. It is not the same gun. If those stats are never the same then that means the options are endless. With all games like this it's not about the looks. It's about what the weapon does. With all games like this the items look similar but since the stats are what matters they are effectively different items. It seems like you're worried about what something looks like instead of what it does. I'm guessing you're also someone who worries about graphics too since your worried about what the guns look like instead of what they do.
Yes and in his opinion the reviewers opinion is bad. Which I agree with. The reviewer contradicts himself a couple of times. Almost as if he had some outside source guiding/persuading him. It is a fact that this game has 5-10 times the variety in enemies. It is also a fact that this game provides considerably more content then old school shooters used to.
This game is a great deal better then "6.1 fair". It deserves an eight at least. In the "about the author" section it says that the reviewer spent 50 hours with this game which "is still a mere fraction of the time he previously enjoyed with many of the 8-bit and 16-bit action games that served as Mercenary Kings' obvious inspiration." I don't understand how someone can play a game for 50 hours and still say it's just "fair". Any game that you spend that much time with has to be good, at least great. It doesn't take 50 hours to beat this game. There was no reason for him to continue to keep playing after he beat it. Also in the negative column it says "There aren't enough unique areas or enemies". How can he say this is a negative when he apparently played games that take a fraction (2-3 hours) of this time to beat for at least 100 hour. If I remember correctly when you play a game over again you see the same enemies and areas over again. So if you play a game that takes about 2-3 hours to beat for 100 hours total then you are going to see the same areas and enemies over and over again. Even if you played that game for 50 hours you would still see the same areas and enemies like 20 times a piece. Excluding bosses Contra had 1 enemy the whole game. So why is this reviewer okay with seeing the same enemies over and over again in truly retro games but not in Mercenary Kings? At least in Mercenary Kings you have loot which is different every time.
So many people completely missed the point of this game. The loot. It's not repetitive. You're supposed to be focusing on the loot and making better guns. This isn't contra or metal slug. You're not supposed to be thinking of it the same way. You're not supposed to be just running and gunning, trying to complete it as fast as possible. If you're just trying to beat it fast then you're missing the point. Hell if you put as much effort into playing the game as you do complaining you might enjoy it.
The load times are not that long at all. To those calling this an SNES game and complaining about the load times, this is nothing like an SNES game. I know you're just trying to be facetious but you're not. You're just being stupid. If anything it's a NEO-GEO game. SNES never looked this good. Even if it could have achieved this resolution. The color depth is way better in Mercenary Kings. This is pixel art. The difference is that an SNES game is low resolution and this is high resolution. It is just made to look like low resolution graphics. I'm sure all of you know this is pixel art, so why are you acting so stupid? The resolution is nearly 5x that of your average SNES game. The load times are probably so long because this is a small team and they probably only utilized one core, that and the game is FIVE TIMES the resolution of an SNES game. Optimizing the game for all of the cores would have been a waste of time and money for a game like this. The only thing to be gained by doing this would have been load times since the one core can easily run a 2d game like this at full speed. It would have made the game cost more so stop complaining about stupid stuff.
Agreed. Before all the creativity was sucked out of the games industry. Before we had cookie cutter games coming out every year with nothing changed but the name. There's a reason we keep getting retro games and that because they are from a time in gaming that was actually good. That and the fact that the only thing developers know how to do no-a-days is copy the ideas of other games. All originality is gone. this game is awesome. I feel it has enough creativity for it to not just be a copy and paste of another game.
All of your posts read liek this to me "mommy mommy! they're making fun of me! My vagina hurts! what do I do?" I don't care what the hell your point was. I have no problem with someone disagreeing with me but when you are belittling a game simply because you don't understand that you just show how ignorant you are. You want to talk about people not knowing when to be quiet and yet you are the one trolling the comments of a videogame you apparently don't like. you should have been quiet from the beginning. There is no reason for you to post here if you don't like the game. No one cares if you don't like the game. Especially on this video which people obviously do like the game. You were trying to get a reaction out of people. You did now crawl back to your parents basement.
It could be that the consoles held it back but seeing as the original footage was on PC I don't think that's the case. They might not have been able to get the streaming working correctly to load all of these effects quickly enough in other parts of the game for it to not have pop in or long load times. Maybe they couldn't optimize them well enough on PC to get them to run good on PC since they are inexperienced on PC. They could have just over developed this area to make it look good when they show it to the public and didn't have enough time to develop the rest of the game to this extent so they took the extra effects out of these area to keep the game looking visually consistent.
