Responding to Lost Planet 2 hate/dislike, whatever you wanna call it, is starting to wear me out, so to save myself valuable time and energy, i'm gonna copy/paste what i've written in a previous post:
"I finally saw a substantial amount of LOST PLANET 3 footage and oh GOD; I can finally say, with certainty, that I will not be buying this game. Make note though, I am one of those who typically buys Capcom games even when they slightly deviate from what fans want...
But I can honestly say i'm done with Lost Planet 3 if this is the direction the rest of the series goes in.
What made Lost Planet 2 GREAT, is that it felt like a party game with a story attached; Sounds like a weird formula but it was BRILLIANT IMO.
"The colorful characters, quirky taunts, beautiful, varying, BRIGHT, and expansive locales, and dynamic gameplay controls are just a few things that made LP2's gameplay as sweet as cotton candy for gamers craving a UNIQUE experience."
My question is why go to the "cardboard cut-out" model when your gameplay had obviously evolved beyond that already?
Why make Lost Planet 3 look as boring and stiff as every other shooter on the market?
Why take jump, dynamic grappling, and most of the more quirky and FUN custom character designs out?
Who is this BLAND main character? Why is he here?
Why was the survival horror taken out of Resident Evil and put into this game? (Not a resident evil fan, but this LP series seems to be trending towards that). (Quick time events, which is something that NO ONE LOVES, are still spread throughout both).
Why standardize the quick-time events?
I know no one is going to answer these questions. But these are valid questions coming from a fan who buys your games even when questionable decisions are made, and doesn't really complain too much.
BUT this is RIDICULOUS this time! You create a work of art, and then ruin it!
If this is for sales, then it makes no sense. You'll pick up a few percentage points of shooter fans, but you'll lose about 30-50% of the Lost Planet fanbase and break about even or a little less.
Why the dramatic shift from art to conformity?
I don't understand it, and I can't imagine playing Lost Planet Series ever again in it's current form.
I'm just one fan, but I just wanted to share my honest opinion, and ask the questions, because I know other LP fans want to know; Even if my questions won't be answered."
and @ Young ANTi.....amen brother! I totally agree.
