07.02.2010 - 20:59 | The Main EventerI was never a fan of Werewolf The Last Warrior due to the bad controls. Also LOL at your Twilight hate.

Dude you are my gaming hero.

07.02.2010 - 21:32 | CaptainTrekNow, I may not know anything about Twilight, as neither vampires, 'nor sappy romance is my thing, but I love how everyone who hates on Twlight's werewolves seems to conveniantly forget that lycanthropes that can transform into an animal-form at will are by no means a new concept... D&D 3rd Edition's (and indeed probably other edition's) werewolves (and indeed other werecreatures) work the same way, so why didn't people kick up a stink about that if that sort of werewolf sucks? It confuses me...

The ones in Twilight also completely forget the whole "man with another side to him, that side being a wolf" thing that's supposed to be present in any form of the werewolf, even the ones who transform at will. They take away every bit of werewolf lore except "can become wolves", effectively making them shapeshifters.
Oh, and the pack order and being in control of the wolf thing doesn't make sense in Twilight's context (then again, it really doesn't even bother in making sense of anything)
One last thing, the lead "werewolf" in Twilight falls in love with and wants to hump a newborn baby.

Because D&D doesn't suck.

07.02.2010 - 21:35 | EightaneGreat review, not that I'd ever expect any less. I just love the way to take these 'classics' apart, not for purposes of being mean-spirited or sarcastic, so much as just laying it on the line and actually helping out those of us who might be tempted to try our hand at the broken or sinfully difficult.
And is it just me... Or does it look like some of the background is one step away from being Bad Dudes, spec. from 2:05 to 2:49?

I actually owned and played this game...I truly understand your pain, Kat.
I did die... a lot.

07.02.2010 - 22:00 | Sifer2lol Werewolf with American flag could be an Internet meme probly.

07.02.2010 - 22:06 | TrollBerzerker
So uh.. did anyone else think the boss at 9:40 looks like the Juggernaut, and the enemies at 12:17 look like spider-man?
-
07.03.2010 - 13:01 | TheThreadWeaverDoes that mean we just saw a game where a Werewolf fought the Juggernaut?
Kick. Ass.
-
07.04.2010 - 06:35 | DeathsNotoriousAngel
Not just that, but the End Boss looks like Magneto and the blue guys with purple faces looked like Hellfire Club members. LOL, someone borrowed liberally from Marvel
-
07.02.2010 - 22:14 | SilverFoxRWow... cool game (albeit hard as usual).
Also, nice intro into the next episode... I've played that one too and I gotta say, it's a good one. Another Capcom-hard game coming up =3

[quote=TrollBerzerker]So uh.. did anyone else think the boss at 9:40 looks like the Juggernaut, and the enemies at 12:17 look like spider-man?[/quote]
And the final boss looks like Magneto...
-
07.18.2010 - 19:36 | theSnarkNo, not Magneto. That other comic character in a purple cloak-mask... whazhisname... um.. I forget, but yeah.

Winsor McKay is the shit - Data East is not.

Is that Beary?!
-
07.02.2010 - 22:35 | NostalgiaOCD
To me, vampires were always somewhat boring, and werewolves were even more boring. Then I played Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, which made vampires fuckin awesome, then Twilight and True Blood came a long....
I like them sword arms though.
-
07.02.2010 - 22:41 | Awesome McBadass PowerfistAt the beginning of the video you said that the game was difficult for all the wrong reasons, which is understandable. Aside from simply 'more like a puzzle' do you have any thoughts on what 'all the right reasons' would be?
-
07.02.2010 - 22:47 | amazmoWas I the only one who noticed that some of those bosses looked familiar? One looked like the Juggernaut and the final boss sort of looked like Magneto
-
07.02.2010 - 22:55 | Gold2094I had back flipping sword arms once...the i woke up
-
You ppl are pathetic.
Just because someone made a version of vampires and werewolfs made for 12 year old girls doesn't meen that every movie about those things is going to be like that.
There were many versions of those creatures this is just one of them.
NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP !! :angry:
-
07.03.2010 - 14:22 | The GothExcept for the fact that at this point in time you can NOT get something werewolf and vampire related published, or advertised (without extensive research and work or self-publishing it) unless it's tying into Twilight in some way.
-
07.18.2010 - 19:39 | theSnarkNo, it's the fact that now whenever you talk about vampires, you actually have to say 'the not sparkling kind' or people get confused.

07.02.2010 - 23:09 | NintendoFanboy
Scyther Werewolf vs. Werewolf Magneto! Place your bets!

07.02.2010 - 23:22 | whatever42
I agree with you Jason, sword arms are always awesome. Well, ... (Quest for Camelot flashbacks)
almost always awesome. ;)
But seriously, that game did seem rather cruel at times. Good on ya for making it through.
I must admit, a werewolf with sword arms is a new one on me.

Wait a second, the Underworld werewolves could change back and forth wheneved they wanted to. Twilight took Underworld's (and other series I think) vampires vs werewolves theme and wussified that like it did everything else.

Um, there were werewolves that were average people who could turn into wolves any time they wanted to WELL before Twilight ever came along. I mean, I get there's a lot of things to complain about Twilight, but...really? That the werewolves can change at will? Something that was done countless times before Twilight ever existed? I mean, The Dresden Files is awesome (the book series, not the TV show), and it had werewolves that could change at will (among other types). I can't for the life of me see how "werewolves can change whenever they want" is a valid complaint.
That was one really weird ending to the game though.
-
07.03.2010 - 16:05 | thehivemind33Ok then, try this.
The leader of the shapeshifting wolf people wants to do it with a fetus.
-
07.18.2010 - 20:08 | theSnarkIndeed, for example the Scandinavian Norse ulfhedhnar and berwerker warriors, and other stories from Northern European tribes. There's also the yee naaldlooshii which is the Navajo skin-walker. There are many, many stories of people changing into animals at will that have been told for thousands of years.
Why don't I have a problem with those stories? Because they don't suck. They are awesome, which Twilight is not. Maybe it could have been in the hands of a sufficently talented writer, but it isn't.
But I agree with you, the arguements against the werewolf lore in Twilight is not valid, as there are plenty of precidents. The change in the vampire lore may have been overlooked if it was done correctly, but unfortunetely it was introduced to us so awkwardly and shoved in our face so many times.. It just doesn't work. Again, it might have worked with a better story/writer, but it doesn't.

07.18.2010 - 20:20 | theSnarkAlmost forgot to mention the infamous Peter Stubbe of Cologne and his magical werewolf belt. He was beheaded in 1589, though the belt he claimed to have was never found. And Jaques Roulet who, with his brother and a cousin, used a salve to transform into wolves to attack and kill children. He was caught in 1598.
And here's a bit of info for all you wannabe werewolves out there: "According to a number of ancient magical texts, one of the methods by which one might willingly become a werewolf was to disrobe and to rub completely over one's naked body an ointment made of the fat of a freshly killed animal and a special mixture of herbs. The person who wished to accomplish the lupine transformation should also wear a belt made of human or wolf skin around the waist, then cover his or her body with the pelt of a wolf. To accelerate the process of shapeshifting, the apprentice werewolf should drink beer mixed with blood and recite an ancient magical incantation."
