This game is bound to have a sequel and that sequel is bound to suck. As we can see by other games, all violent-type platformers follow a sequence.
Take Prince of Persia. Awesome game. One of the best games of all time. The ending was pretty blah, though.
Then take Devil May Cry. Even better action than PoP (fight-wise). Even worse ending.
Now look at them...Warrior Within is generic and crappy, losing all the charm that PoP had, and Devil May Cry 2 wasn't even worth playing.
Now, seeing the "Birth of the Beast" trailer in God of War, my hopes for a good God of War sequel are very, very low.
I expect Kratos' already callously-violent nature to either be toned down to be as generic as Dante or the Prince or overhyped so that it makes me want to shit myself in disgust. New monsters will be introduced that are way too creepy so the game feels like a survival horror genre in ancient Greece and the voice acting will be even worse.
Has anyone else noticed this?
So, uh, yeah, kinda.
If the new Zelda game is "darker" in comparison to Wind Waker, then that'll be the cat's meow. If it's "darker," as in "Link bathes in the blood of his enemies, wears Ganon's head as a hat and then sodomizes Zelda with the Master Sword" I think I may just shit myself.

Mooj had this to say about pies:
Ah, but what about Devil May Cry 3, Professor Parcelan? Where does that fall into your equation?
Not enough to save the series, unfortunately.
Lackluster enemies (a giant lightning worm...ok), lackluster storyline and Dante constantly going "WOOOOOOO! WOOOOOO! WOOOHOOOOO! WOOOOO! WOOHOOOHOOOOOO! WOOO! WOOOOOOOOOO! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! PARTY! TIME TO PARTY! INVITE ME TO THE PARTY! WOOOOO! WOOOO! SHIT HOT! MAKES ME SHIT MY PANTS ITS SO HOT! HOT PARTY! SHIT HOT PARTY! SHIT HOT WOOOOOHOOHOOOOOOOO!" made it too little, too late.
In short, after a disaster like DMC2 or Warrior Within, you need one helluva third part to make up for all this shit.
It makes me want to shit my pants.
Conversely, I am clearly the smartest person in this thread. I may then be called "God", "The omniscient one", or failing that "Maradon."

I posted here too. "Omniscience", my ass.
Edit: You can have the Maradon title, though. Tarquinn fucked around with this message on 04-05-2005 at 04:26 AM.

I see. I disagree with your theory based on that one fact. You are no longer worthy of being called professor. I offer you instead the options of "Bozo" and "Captain never right".Conversely, I am clearly the smartest person in this thread.

I offer you a compromise:
I shall take up the title of Doktor Parcelan, Voodoo Priest and Conjurer. You shall give me all your money and I won't make hamburgers out of your steaming entrails.
And Tarquin? My previous statement stands, as I am so totally superior to you and Parce put together. You two must bask in the awesomeness of my awesome presence. Awesomely.

Shows what you know! My entrails make KILLER hamburgers.
I imagine you're rather partial to them.

They're better than my rump roast by leaps and bounds.

Yeah, but that is only because adding Parce to me would dimmish my inherent awesomeness. Alone, I'm clearly your superior.
Someone: "Dude, did you just shit your pants?"
Parce: "AHHHHHH, GOD OF WAR 2 IS TERRIBLE!"

I counter your theory with this... the Legacy of Kain series (Blood Omen 2 is the exception)
Bullshit. Blood Omen 1 was amazing, even though it doesn't really count as it's not a platform game. Soul Reaver 1 was the best of the platformers, and everything just went downhill after that.

What exactly is the Legacy of Kain lineage? I played Blood Omen 1 and 2.

Yes, Mr. Parcelan deserved to die, and I hope they burn in hell!

It started back on the Saturn, then hit the PSX, Dreamcast, and finally current-gen consoles. I never followed it, but everyone seems to love it.
It's not something people hear about.

I believe it goes Blood Omen 1 > Soul Reaver 1 > Soul Reaver 2 > Blood Omen 2 > Deceptions
I enjoyed Blood Omen 2, I wish I got around to finishing it.
