Klonoa the Dream Traveler 678 Posted August 7, 2015 It seems that everyone is calling this spinoff game bad. Please explain how this game is terrible. Have you even played it? How can you judge a game that you haven't played? Graphics isn't everything. 5 Riosephmido, nonicepifg79, nonicepifz72 and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JTD95 1,107 Posted August 7, 2015 Based on gameplay footage the game mechanics look awful. And what little there is of a plot is totally bonkers. 1 Blooming Marluxia reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master Eraqus 1,340 Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) I've never played it, but I have seen clips of it and I only call it 'bad' cause it is 'bad' compared with the other games. The combat seems very boring, while it's true that graphics aren't everything, the graphics look VERY bland and just downgraded by a LOT from the original game where even the graphics of the original 358/2 days, re:coded and even coded look better, and the entire game seems more of a platformer than a fighting game. Also, to what I've heard there is pretty much no plot, if not little. Edited August 7, 2015 by Master Eraqus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philip Ellwell 5,487 Posted August 7, 2015 It looks kinda weird, like a knock-off instead of a legit title. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darku Scarlet 7 Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) While graphics aren't everything, just look at Maleficent's face. I mean, hell, just LOOK AT HER. And as mentioned, combat is extremely lacking, there's basically no plot, it's not even canon and just there for the sake of being there.

Hearts Creed 142 Posted August 7, 2015 Not to mention that framerate is also horrendous in that game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nero Kunivas 3,046 Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Everyone else has voiced pretty much everything I could say about this game. The game itself is objectively bad: It's badly made, feels like a Knock-Off rather than a Spin-Off or even a Fan-Made game, the plot is incoherent and terrible, the graphics are woefully AWFUL and just do the game even more of a disservice, Combat is sluggish and bad and it has no reason to exist, it's not even Canon and doesn't have it's own story to go off on or continue as it died after it's first part. It's probably best that V-Cast was forgotten and left to gather virtual dust. (What is V-Cast supposed to mean anyway?)

Headphone Jack 1,147 Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) they tried to put an action rpg on a mobile phone from the early 2000's also yes graphics don't mean everything but there is a line you have to draw somewhere. V-Cast just looks horrible. Edited August 7, 2015 by Headphone Jack 1 Blooming Marluxia reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hero of Light XIV 2,381 Posted August 7, 2015 Everyone judges it that way because it almost impossible to get a hold of these days. The game was part of an old phone game service that isn't used anymore for a far outdated phone as well as the fact that it never got beyond one episode. Even if you never got to touch the game with your hands, watching footage can still tell you a lot about a game's quality. You don't exactly have to have actually played Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric yourself to see it controls terribly from the millions of videos out there. Just try to imagine moving in a three-dimensional space with the limited controls of your then-standard early-2000's flip phone. A few buttons in the orientation of a diamond isn't exactly the same as the four directional buttons on a game controller or hand held, let alone an analog stick. Not only that but the movement looks pretty stiff itself, and the game itself just looks like it lacks any imagination to it. No, graphics aren't everything, but it's important to have at least some kind of standard, and for the technology it was using at the time,3D was a pretty poor choice. It would have been better off with sprite-based graphics like the original Chain of Memories had or even the 2D character in a somewhat 3D modeled map from an over-view angle like in the original Coded. Add to the fact that it's been confirmed that the game was never canon and it wasn't even being made by either Disney nor Square and you basically have what can best be described as an experiment with the mobile gaming market before it became as big of a cash cow as it is today. I suppose it always helps to actually have hands-on experience with something, but there are some cases where you can easily tell how bad something is just by looking at it, and this is one of those cases. I'm sorry if that doesn't sound fair to you, but that's really just the way it is. 1 Klonoa the Dream Traveler reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Imagine a bootleg version of Kingdom Hearts and have it official just because Disney said back in the day "Screw it, it's a popular cash cow, release this!". That is Kingdom Hearts V-Cast: corporate rubbish in its purest form. Edited August 7, 2015 by Guest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The 13th Kenpachi 4,279 Posted August 7, 2015 It's not a bad game at all. I crammed about 200+ hours into that masterpiece, epic narrative, 69/10 graphics, simple controls and some great combat. Definitely the best game ever. 1 Felixx reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theres a part where u need to kill a mummy with fire spells and you need munny to restore MP but heartless will stop reswapning after a while. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
