belltriggerOh hai. Once again, it's time for "Suoh-chan rambling about a video game no one cares about!"
This time, Bullet Witch. Let's explain how this came to be:
Everyone in the store says this is a horrible game. Cool, I'm completely kosher with that. However, it's, like, an eye-candy game, apparently (as so obviously proven by the fact that half of the downloadable content on xbox live is different costumes for the main character) and I like to try those for the sheer lulz. (sometimes, I get surprised. Rumble Roses, for example, while being an eye-candy game -with special moves called H(ecchi) moves- it's amazingly difficult and much more intricate than mainstream wrestling games.... that guys play.... that are full of half-naked, buff men...... WHY, again, is Rumble Roses a worse game? >_>; )
Combine that with the fact that I went around xbox live a few months ago, and basically downloaded all free bonus content for games that I might someday possibly play. And this includes those very same costumes I mentioned above.
Also, I don't think I can be a real gamer unless I try a little of everything, no matter how much I hate it (I'm looking at you, Grand Theft Auto 4!)
Again, same way as when I did Star Ocean.
The... The movie that plays before you start the game is like a tv commercial.. I don't know if that's a pro or a con, because it's kinda... loltastic.
Pros:
-Lots of sexy and cute costumes. I'm partial to SC1('White Witch'), or SC5('Pixie'), but SC3 ('Secretary') reminds me of Roderich from Hetalia, so it's allll good. SC5 makes me feel like I'm playing some sort of Final Fantasy game.
-starts like most games, with some catastrophic battle (creepy that it has 'new middle east war' in it) but... this is actually pretty exciting compared to most. It all started with some guy jumping into some big, spikey hole in the ground... And ended with 2012: Nations dead. (ooooooh, so creepy and awesome)
-Successive plays through will have skill points carried over from previous games, so completing on easy mode first actually has a use (unlike, say Call of Duty, where you might as well struggle through everything on Veteran mode first, since all playing on easier modes gets you is the level unlocked)
-Friendly fire and enemy fire are actually color coded.
-Enemies (yes, the apoclyptic zombies) will actually pretend to surrender (holding their arms up and saying things like 'let me go home to my wife and kids') to lure you out into open fire .. evil bastards, I love it!
-the sounds made by the geists that put up the walls is really cool and creepy. Fan desu!
-Just got to cast my first lighting. I-I think I want to marry this game.
Cons:
-Voice acting... is more funny than scary. Despite the horrific acts, I found myself loling at the acting (anyone seen Xavier: Renegade Angel on Adult Swim? The acting... is like that, lol)
-Even though it could be easily done (See Dynasty Warriors for proof), costume changes don't effect the movie scenes.
-The controls on shooting are very awkward, but maybe I have been spoiled by games like Call of Duty. First battle: won by melee alone 8|
-Levels are somewhat linear, but because they are actual locations, they are somewhat misleading at times.
-Smaller, older tvs make it hard to identify the geists against regular people until shots have been fired...
-not really a con, but... I-I kinda blew myself up with a gas station >_>
Overall... I don't see what everyone was complaining about. I guarantee, I'll go in and ask... and everyone will either have not played it, or complained about the shooting and not given it a chance. Sigh.
