review WARNING MAY CONTAIN STRONG LANGUAGE FROM THIS POINT ON now for every f*cking brilliant game like bio sho
ck or fallout 9 out of 10 times theres bound to be A PILE OF SHIT game
to go with it and this PILE OF SHIT happens to be by SEG
A the people who gave us this..
wow big suprise
now the game i am talking about happens to be sega all stars racing for ds
ok lets tear in
once you pop in the cartridge your instantly greeted with music that a child with a ds couldve shat out in one second. then once you press start you are asked to make a file wich is called a licence. once youve made youre severly BORING licence you then get treated to a mandatory tutorial with sonic............... fun
OK i know probably EVERYONE who has EVER reviewed this has probably commented on this but i want to complain and and complain i will.
WHY THE BLOODY HELL DOES SONIC THE HEDGEHOG NEED A CAR if you look up a video of gmeplay youll probably realise he can RUN faster than the bloody thing and with its design that looks like the frame was blown with a haur dryer while it was still molten could impale some on seriously did someone cut his legs off so he needed to drive this monstrosity which looks likes sonics head if you turned it into a car. *sigh* okay back to the review. so after sonic introduces you to the *cough*identical-to mario-kart*cough* controls your then immediatly introduced to the games character line up which keeps to segas love affair with all the characters that shouldve stopped existing a while ago. seriously take a look
wow sega wow
also you see that zombie guy to the far right yeah he was i some random game called house of the dead EX where instead of murdering zombies you played mini games. they put as a racer to represent house of the dead. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY THEY COULDVE JUST PUT AGENT G IN A CART I WANT TO SEE AGENT G IN A CART.
bastards
and of course the races are very balanced take a look at this formula i made
Choose RYU as racer=winchoose anyone else= FAIL
and of course speaking of unbalnced thing the only powerups that have any thing to do with sega: the stars
heh sorry
are completely unbalanced for example Ryu gets an infinite turbo boost forklift and samba gets maracas which make everyone dance and has no noticeable effect.
and last of all the tracks the tracks aren't the fun gimmicky tracks of Mario Kart they're just decorative strips of land. yes they do put on obstacles in the form of robots with 2 frames of animation but they are so far off the track that they might as well have put none in at all
and the super monkey ball tracks have turns so sharp and sudden you could cut through the proverbial apathy.
all in all DON'T PLAY THIS GAME IF YOU DO YOUR BRAIN WILL DIE.
that is all.

How to:spooky arg
Hi! well actually i'm not saying hi to anyone in particular but whatever i'm sure i'll get viewers sometime... anyway in case you just got on the internet right now and this site just happened to be the first one you visited there has been a trend for ARG's(Alternate Reality Games) used to instill fear in players. if you do not know what an arg is it is a story which interferes with elements of real life to create a realistic setting.
my personal Favorited when it comes to this "genre" is marble hornets and everymanHYBRID
(check them out! but don't look behind you after you'r done) which both excel in their own ways
any way onwards to tips and cake!
Tips:videos
as you've seen with the 2 series above you can really use videos to really scare the Shaman out of people but you need to do the atmosphere building right or it all collapses in a symphony of boring
the right way i find is to start suttle maybye add your object of spookiness in the background not really doing anything. Just suttle enough so that some people will see it but not everyone these people will tell everyone Hey1 theres an EFFING SCARY THING IN THE BACKGROUND Look look! Once this has been announced have epsiodes with no object of fear at all just spooky enviroments or noises these episodes make the viewer paranoid and builds tension. they will be looking Everywhere but to no avail then start building on this. building the atmosphere and apearences until WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! give tham an episode which releases the tension and scares the (eff) out of them the first of these WHAM epsiodes should be when your characters finally catch up to the fact that theyre being talked by something that brings the necromicon to book club. it will scare the hell out of your veiwers then after that it's going to have to be a few more epsiodes of tension building. remember the first episode should be incredibly suttle. everyman HYBRID does this best with only an eerie picture of a swamp telling viewers somethings up marble hornets is not very suttle saying that something weird is going on straight away.
TIPS:writing
Never under any circumstances give a straight awnser to your viewers if your seiries is popular having forum threads with people discussing the latest video and their theories will lwt you know youve done a good job. lets say if marble hornets just gave you all the awnsers would it be half as scary? no not at all this mehtod stirs up chaos with your viewers making them confused and disoriented just the place you want them for a wham episode. also audience involvement is key to an arg wether it is leaving caches around wich have vital plot clus or forcing players to do certain actions so the plot continues this is all part of involvement dont involve them and its just another spooky story
TIPS:antagonists
there are 3 antagonist types to an arg
1: the i'll-just-stand-here-and-let the characers drive themselves insane type
this is a good type for the methods mentioned above because this type dosent have to do anything except stand there to make an enviroment creepy. but adding other things such as weird noises helps
type2 the -i am posting psycdellic videos +i am ax crazy type
this guy should never appear in your vids so do npt include him without type 1 or 3
have fun with the videos just make sure you put in a a vauge clue to stir up chaos
type3:axe crazy beast
just a crazy supernatural character who likes to kill scary but not eerie
with all these antagonists make sure they are normal enough but have something off with their appearance oh and the less they talk the better
well thats all the tips i have for today comment if you liked /disliked tell me why
also feel free to post your fave args in the comments!
but dont waste my space with comments about grammmar!
