Title: Come here to see Himu shit on SSX Blur
Post by: Himu on March 04, 2007, 11:39:43 PM
I rented SSX Blur tonight and played for an hour and a half. I want my time (and money, which was a measly 7 dollars) back.

This game is shit. What the hell have done to my SSX? I have put considerable amount of time into every SSX aside from On Tour and I STILL can't get the controls down. What the fuck?

Okay, you carve the snow with your nunchuck. Sounds good, right? NO. You don't carve with the analog stick you carve tilting the nunchuck left or right. This makes actual precise control bothersome, and quite frankly, almost impossible. In the tutorial section for carving, you have to get 6 arrows to complete the tutorial level. Well, it took me 10 minutes to do this one simple task!

Next up, is the jumping. You don't jump with a button, you jump by raising the nunchuck up. This makes such an important SSX element gimmicky, and furthermore, convoluted.

You'll know the controls are too convoluted when you have trouble correcting yourself, something that should be an easy 1,2,3 step. It isn't, because the game's controls are so unnatural. In order to accelerate you press up on the analog stick, if you press down on it, your boarder stops. Problem is, if you accidentally press left or right on the stick, your boarder is going to slow down! And this happens VERY QUITE OFTEN.

Uber tricks. Don't even get me started on grabs and tricks in this game.

What's more is that they've pulled the Nintendo pussification curse on SSX! You know the curse where previous series that were on different hardware exclusively, and then wind up on Nintendo hardware turn up to be pussies compared to their original selves. It happened to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. It happened to many other games, but almost worse here (though not as bad as FFTA's pussification). The character art is awful. They've animu'd SSX! And what's worse is that it's not authentic animu but American animu character designs, which is 10 x worse! What's more, instead of SHOVING opponments, you throw SNOW BALLS at them. What the bloody fuck? SNOWBALLS?

I am currently trying to think of this game's redeeming qualities at this point. The loading is great. The menu interface is awesome. Um...the graphics are decent for last gen standards.

What the hell have they done to my SSX?! This game is HORRIBLE. It's so amusing and frustrating at the same time that Nintendo's whole point for Wii is to make controls more "simple" for the distinguished mentally-challenged fellows who can't understand what pressing buttons means, and yet, their control set up makes some games more complicated than they should be. Raise the nunchuck up to jump? You must be shitting me.

I am starting to question my Wii purchase. So far the only game to even remotely show how Wii can be capable as a machine is Zelda, and that's a GC port. Supposedly Trauma Center, but I haven't played it yet. What's the point of having such "revolutionary" control when you directly contradict with your mission goal?

Give me a real next gen SSX.

SSX Blur sucks. After an hour + I went to play SSX Tricky on my Xbox instead.

I think Wario Ware had some good indications of where the console can go. I mean, out of 200 microgames, maybe 170 were good, but still: it's the designers at the moment, not the Wii itself.

I'm annoyed to hear that the game isn't good, by the way. I was looking forward to this.

I'll put more time into it, but I'm skeptical.

It looks like Tricky was the last good SSX.

Are the tracks at least more like Tricky? They fucked up the design in SSX3

SSX3 owns. I like how chill it is. The game is different from Tricky, sure, but it's so relaxing and awesome in it's own right.

Chris: they're all better than sonic 360/ps3 and all of the other ps3 titles. The only notable ps3 title is VF5 and that's coming out on 360.

Try out Elebits in addition to Trauma Center.

Super Paper Mario will save us all. Or Crackdown.
