So I'm supposed to believe it took some sort of awesome super ninja to kill a gay ass nine-tailed fox?
First of all, who can't stomp a fox if it's being all aggressive. They are like smaller than most dogs. I could crush a fox head with the heel of one of my daintier pairs of Doc Martens.
And I mean, I know Japanese people are all tiny and small and shit, so maybe they don't have the tootsies to easily lay out the pathetic wildlife, but look at it this way: the fox had nine tails, aka it was physically deformed. It took an uber ninja to take on what was basically the Synbios of foxes?
Lol, the Japanese are so weak. And it's not just physical weakness, either. Even if I were a total puny simp like The Black Stallion, I could use my noodle to outwit a deformed fox, but the Japanese? Fuck no. Their utter failure at producing a chess grandmaster since the title's inception is more than enough proof of that. Heck, as of last year, and possibly even today, FIDE lists no Japanese amongst the world's top 100 chess players.
I don't like to be discrimnatory, or paint with a broad brush, but if Naruto has taught me anything in the approximately 20 seconds I have played, it's that the Japanese belong in the genetic underclass along with people that play the PSP with their feet, stomping and flapping upon its buttons with toes as if it were some sort of distinguished mentally-challenged nine-tailed fox.

Why do the work when you can get some shonen jump character to do it for you?
-
Wow, TVC's even more racist than me! That's saying a lot.
-
Im a quarter japanese even! I will 1/4th sneer at him next time we have lunch!
-

Because if they're going to do the work, I have to listen to their hideous english voice acting?
-
BOBOBOBO ITS FROM THE SHOW

PD thought you were full Asian.
:lol

Wait, now nobody likes Naruto and it's all emo and everyone is telling them that they hate him. I thought this was a kick people in the face animu, not a mopey mope lets stare at empty fields animu?
-
The funny thing is that the animation in Naturo games seems more consistent to me than the cartoons.
-
I watched the cartoons once. If you're in the mood, it can be really funny how much cliche bullshit there is. I couldn't stand playing a naruto game no matter how fun it was just because naruto would say believe it over and over again.
-
WTF, this is all totally emo. I was expecting Dragonball with different clothes.
-
So how does this compare to the PSP game?
-
I am actually digging the game. Combat is fun and wandering around the village is neat. There appears to be an assortment of tasks to keep you occupied, from missions to collecting shit.
My one complaint aside from the animu concerns jumping. While some of the environments aren't super impressive, the people behind the game clearly took pride in their character work. Just about every character in the game looks and animates great. The one exception is Naruto's jump. It seems like you press the button and you immediately appear in the air, as if several frames of animation are missing, smoothing it out. The effect is clearly supposed to be that he jumps so fast that it's like WOAH that's fast, but in effect, it just looks like one choppy animation amongst a sea of otherwise very smooth ones.
This is the only Naruto game I have played.

Don't worry. I bet you'll find something to complain by tomorrow.

Unless it gets bad, I doubt it. I knew this would be a C game when I bought it, so I will only bitch about it if it dips below those not-very-high expectations. So far, it's a solid game, but it's not going to win any awards. It's kind of like a more mission-oriented animu GTA at this point. It drops you in the village and lets you do missions, or collect shit, or just wander around. You aren't limited to just story missions either.
-
Naruto actually has a fairly decent animu-to-game conversion track record. The only horrible, absolutely SHIT-TASTIC Naruto game I've ever played was the DS 3D fighter that came out last year. That was vomit inducing.
-
TVC might be on to something here...it really explains their love affair with all that is Gundam. Maybe it's because they know that they need the super robot suits to overcome their deficiencies.
-
Ryu Hayabusa is Japanese.
therefore Japan is superior.
-
the PSP game is a lot of fun, its just a modified port of the PS2 fighting game, but its more fun than smash bros imo

Ichirou is even more Japanese than MAF?
-
The 9 tail fox is huge, it's not a normal sized fox
-
Did you vomit yet?
Nope, it doesn't have a vomit-inducing factor like Orange Box 360.

Nice spoilers, fagabag
Guess I'm not getting this game then

Why won't you tell me about your drug use?

What a shit. First off, the graphics only look good on bullshots. When you actually play it's quite poor, I was very underwhelmed. Not only that, but Naruto's world is plagued by screen tearing, slowdown, and objects that pop in. EA's Simpsons game has it EASILY beaten when it comes to impressive cel-shading. The only thing that looks any remotely good in this game is the water.
The game constantly loads up for split-seconds when you take new objects or talk to people, making for some very awkward pauses.
Naruto moves and jumps very awkwardly, it's like there's a small pause between your input of the command, and Naruto executing said action on screen. It's not a very pleasing game to control.
Story is fucking stupid. The fighting system is an awkward mess. The random citizens that constantly address you with badly dubbed english voice acting are fucking annoying, along with most of the music that loops continuously.
Now the core gameplay consists of incredibly unimaginative, stupid and repetitive fetch quests where you must typically collect some crap like coins that randomly lay around the town, only that it's just fucking tedious to accumulate them unlike in Crackdown. The town is just a hub where some sort of poor "sandbox" platforming game takes place but it's just a bore.
In the end it's another overhyped turd. But it's a Ubisoft Montreal game, no wonder that it's badly designed, unimaginative and poorly cobbled up together.
Are there any impressions by Morphix out there? He must think that this is the GOTY.
-
I think Naruto is a gaijin anime. I don't think japas have anything to do with naruto....or the game actually.

FYI, Jotaro is blowing things out of proportion. I don't think anyone buying it is doing so with lofty expectations.
-
It's a fucking weird and lame combination, one that ultimately failed.
-
It's not that bad, Jotaro. I think you are just trolling.
-
mondain, i'm finding it harder to believe what you say when it comes to the technical side of games. your observations of katamari differed greatly from mine, and i'm extremely nitpicky about framerates, graphics, slowdown, etc.

That's because you're too forgiving.

Montreal people who eat poutine and watch Radio-Canada can't make good anime games.
-
They can make good Splinter Cell games, though. Ubi Shanghai's games were turds.
They also do good Ghost Recon, and Rainbow Six
They're not a bad developer.
-
The only thing I agree on is with the jumping. If any of that other stuff is present, it didn't bug me enough to mention, or I didn't notice it at all (screen tearing?), and I am kind of a nazi about fidelity issues.
-
You didn't notice screen tearing? Because it IS there when you roam around the city, and it's not like you have to try hard before it comes down on you.
Now the slowdown is pretty rare, but it is there in certain infrequent spots.
-

Japan has yet to produce a decent game based on an anime. And this shit is aimed at 12 years old, STOP GETTING SO WORKED OVER THIS PEOPLE.
-
If there was screen tearing, I don't remember it, which means I either didn't see it, or it was so minor that it didn't even warrant remembering.
-
i've seen no screen tearing at all. picture is rock solid.
-
this is so strange, could it be because i play games with the 360's 1080p upscaling feature with a VGA cable? even on 720p sets tearing should still be visible
-

Your brother isn't smacking you around nearly enough.

i recall reading somewhere that there were in fact cases where screen tearing was more evident when using VGA cables. might wanna check on your favorite forum for that info.
-
There isnt any screen tearing. Mondain is a dumbass.
-
The only screen tearing I really noticed was Blue Dragon, I'm not usually on the lookout for that stuff, doesnt bother me at all

Nothing ever bother you my dear. :-*
-
Too true, my dear
*pinky out

i must have seen five or six kids in naruto costumes on halloween. i had no idea it was big now
-
Naruto is like DBZ in the sense that it has some of the worst pacing for any series ever made.
-
Dragon Ball (when goku is a kid)>>>>>>>>>>>DBZ/Naruto
-
Thanks for the heads up, Mondain. I guess I'll just download it now.
-
I saw coin collecting! Glad thats over! Or is it? :(
-
You know what I saw today? pussy boner on top of ME.
-
OR IS IT, MAF
-
OR IS IT :(
-
Mondain is right!
I can't even tell who's being serious anymore!
-
Mondain is right! I saw screen tearing when I played Naruto today. Where did you see it Mondain?
Mostly in the town when moving the camera around big buildings, and when it seemed that there were a lot of citizens moving around.
-
Well, since this game was actually programmed by frenchies, isn't it more an indicator of how weak the french are?
-
the frenchies make good games
-
Oh wait, I completely forgot something!
I'M LYING
:lol oh come on, was i the only one that found this funny?
