Welcome to our channel where we will be doing reviews, videos about retro games, our general thoughts on the gaming industry at large, among many other things.
Dude Nintendo could put this game on the switch and give it a second chance at life with online multiplayer. This game was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUN! I played it on my wii with 4 GBA SP and the crazy fun we had with this... it was just... wow.
Before my GameCube was stolen as well as my games. I had this game. I had Wind Waker and I had the Zelda Collection game that included: Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Legend of Zelda, Legend of Link and Wind Waker Demo.
saying omega strikers "failed" isn't accurate at all, it just simply can't be worked on right now due to it not bringing in enough revenue. It did what the devs wanted it to, make a crap ton of money on launch for the devs to really kickstart ody. Omega strikers is the opposite of a failure.
I play it on my hacked wii, and Nintendont actually supports the adapter so I can still use the link cable. great way to experience it cheaply and correctly
I cant be alone on this one. Awakenings where such a BAD addition to the game. I could really name so many reasons why. I swear I will die on this hill awakenings are the biggest reason the game fell off.
game is good. wish they didnt give up on it. but I agree, people need easy eye candy and easy numbers to latch onto. I think its more complex than you give it credit for.
Valid criticisms, except for lack of original music, but I always liked the game. However, I want to point out that the big gem animations (save for the ones in chests) can actually be skipped if you grab them while carrying an object or a Link. It's a common speedrunning strat for the game
7:41 You couldn't be more real for the last 3 points, the games being so long honestly made the game insuffurable and doesn't fit the fast pace of the game. However the simplicity of the game not a relevant argument. What's even a simplistic game bru? LoL is both simplistic and complex, and so is Smash, and Rocket League. Those are all games extremely simple to understand but hard to master, exactly like Omega Strikers. It feels like you're trying to say RL and LoL are chess whereas OS is a Tic Tac Toe : Vaguely similar in the concept but with a much more limited depth. But you couldn't be any further from the truth. Take for exemple. The game is super simplistic, never changed in years and yet the community has never been that big
My $2: The game looked mega boring, required so many hours to learn, hours that you could spend elsewhere like in League, no map variation, no great deal freedom of movement because you're always having to counter position so that means people are either stuck moving wherever or they're trolling because of it, people wanna slap each other and punch each other, not wait for a puck to do things, add to that you have to work with your team where it can be oh so easily sabotaged for the rest? It ain't pickin' up. It was a formula made to be DOA, made for a very niche audience that was expected to come but could never hop over from League and other games. I tried the beta for a few hours, some friends told me it was going to be the next thing, I said it was "truthfully and without bias, dead in two years, optimistically".
Some of the most BS bring your Down syndrome toddler to work game design I ever did see. Everything’s too long and too little fun. Music sucks. 2nd to last level when the budget cuts out is hilarious though. 2/10
This is one of my favorite Zelda games ever and I always played it solo and had no problems enjoying this game. Never understood all the hate for this game.
It was a pain to go through. Some parts were fun some parts were miserable. I had mixed feelings playing it but I was glad I was done with it. Maybe the experience would be different if I didn't play it alone but it is sure "unique"
Hey, there! Just stumbled upon your channel and I realized this is your only history video on the channel. Are you planning to do more history stuff? Would love to see more of these as I do the same thing in mine. Have a good one.
comparing Omega Strikers to the launch of League of legends is an unfair comparison and completely off base, LOL has it's success due to HON dropping the ball and that's a whole other story but it proves my point
I dont think the problem was the lack of balance changes or the simplicity. They werent ideal but didnt really detract from the experience much at all. The reason the game died is because the devs tried too hard to fix those problems between the beta and full release and everything that made the game good was either worse or gone altogether. Over the course of the beta I convinced 14 people to play the game and 12 of them loved it and played very consistently, even people who didnt generally play video games. After the full release , none of them enjoyed the game any more with all but one quitting within 3 days of full release, and the last one quitting before a week. The devs went too long without a beta and when the players gave feedback showing that they overwhelmingly preferred the old version the devs ignored it. It was the greatest game of all time and they killed it because they were trying to make the game something else
One thing for sure is that people should NEVER remove a bad review, otherwise companies won't give a fuck next time. Bad reviews should be a stain on the games and companies image, so maybe they'll think twice before screwing people over
Dear Divers! Don't let the corporation throw sand in your eyes! Yes, Sony made it clear that we hit their frigate with a shell, but victory has not yet been achieved! We need to keep our finger on the pulse! And monitor all the actions of the treacherous faction! The problem still persists: - Steam/Sony have not yet resumed sales of the game in the previously excluded 177 regions - On the Steam page there is still a requirement for a mandatory PSN link Let's not be fooled by corporate oppressors! Keep your negative feedback directed at Sony headquarters until all targets are fully resolved. Save your review and give time to keep promises: let the changes take effect on Steam. The game will return to sale from blocked regions and the mandatory PSN link will disappear. We will only change the review when all goals have been achieved. For Democracy!
Them removing the core speed gain from neutral strikes, changing the training system to awakenings, then forcing random awakenings for quick play. The lack of a sustainable player base is due to the awakening system, for casual players going to normal matches losing a round then having to read a fucking wall of text with a fucking time limit on top of having people leave or just shit stomp you because they had previous beta knowledge is horrendous for player retention. The game didn't need a major change/rework to the training system it just needed more options. The game went from a quick solid match that really gets down to the wire CONSTANTLY to being a fucking dreg that you have to wait to be over, which makes more people want to just leave matches. On top of not having fun due to having to wait for awakenings to make your character a powerhouse or even having to wait to make your non meta character feasible in ranked/casual play, and not having a quick play with selectable awakenings(like how the game was initially.) They took away player freedom, made the game slower, took fun elements out of the game, and did this all before simply adding what the game needed that would have shattered any random complaints about the meta, meta is going to be in every game, player retention for the casual player base does not reside within meta, its game fun factor. The core flip and dodges were a great fucking addition, as well as the maps but all of that came alongside too much of a major change to the core of the games experience. I remember trying to tell people this shit in the discord server when the full release dropped and I got flack for it, and that was before the games sharp decline. also by sustainable player base I mean a player base that has enough people that players who know too much don't end up getting matched against people who just are starting.
I didn't take the classes in this game, but I do remember using the library to look up stuff. That's where I must have learned about things like STAB (especially that's it's a 50% boost, since I don't think the games tell you the amount anywhere else). I would leave the type chart up while I was planning teams all the time.
Finally, a Pokémon Academy enjoyer! Earl's Academy is probably one of the biggest reasons I still play and love Pokémon today. Back in my childhood I was probably one of the best Pokémon players in my school, solely because of Giga Chad Earl. I used "advanced" strategies instead of spamming high damaging moves. My love for Competitive Pokémon began to grow because of this neat feature. Thanks for highlighting it!
When I went to the official discord page for omega strikers on the release day and stated games should be short an not complicated like how it was in beta since there is so limited time to block or strategize against the moving core and it all turns into a button mash. This is the exact message I got "L" "Skill issue" "Try better or just give up if its too complicated for you". See where that brought you lugnuts! Have fun with a pile of sht that once was gold!
I really enjoyed the game in Beta, still played it on launch, but i didnt like that games were going up to 30 minutes, i really enjoyed the quick 5 minutes games and after every game i had that "just one more" feeling coming up so I've been playing for hours. But on beta after 1 single game i was already stressed the f out and couldn't play more then 2-3 games in one session. A lot of my friends tried out the game in beta aswell but most of them didnt wanna sweat 30 minutes straight. Even if it was just a side chick game it still was my go to option if i was waiting for friends to come online to play stuff like rocket league or whenever i didnt know what to do i could just hopp into 1-2 games and perhaps even stick longer. So yeah changing that was the biggest down for me personally. I hope the same doesn't happen to Buckyball on launch since its basically omega strikers in 3D but we will see
I have a dream that someday, Omega Strikers will come back. So sad to hear about this interesting person you want hang around only to find that said person is in a coma.
I always thought this game would have been absolutely perfect to be re-released on Wii U, original or remastered. And I guess a Switch version works too lol
I LOVED this game on single player. It was dirt cheap when i was a kid, like $8 used, i assumed it was because nobody wanted a 2d zelda game at the time when you had wind waker, twilight princess AND OoT masterquest.
I always thought that tuning down the awakenings and allowing you to select 3 at the start of a match, while still having the mid game random ones, would allow you to build more depth into each character, and have control over how you wanted to play. Doing it after everyone selected a striker would let you counterpick characters with awakenings at the expense making your kit worse.
This is why you don't own multiple franchises.. Too much of a money sink and mismanagement city in the worst possible sense. As a TimeSplitters fan: If there is any comfort is that TimeSplitters Rewind has had an update just 2 days ago! And they got a lot of good stuff going for them and they really could use a bit of help given how bad the industry has gotten.. TimeSplitters should never be a Fortnite Clone. It should've been made true to it's roots: To have fun; be creative with it and challenge yourself.. The only legitimate form of comfort is if you own an Xbox One. You can at least download TS2 and Future Perfect. Everyone who happens to own that console should give TimeSplitters a crack.
I know nothing about this game except for the banger OST and these fire character designs. Sucks if this game supposedly fell off. From the outside looking in, it feels they had a ton of passion put into this property. I'd love to see them rework this series into a anime fighter like DnF Duel or GranBlue Versus. By looks alone it'd right into the genre.
