Video Showcase / Re: Ape Escape is better than Star Fox Zero!? - DesignSection

« on: May 28, 2017, 01:05:59 am »

Interesting review about Ape Escape and Star Fox Zero.

I never played Ape Escape but always wanted to play it because it seemed like a fun game to play.

You brought up some interesting points about the controls in Star Fox Zero and how Ape Escape allows you to get use to the odd controls. Whereas Star Fox Zero, if you had experience playing the previous Star Fox game, you knew how to play it but Nintendo decided to make it needlessly complicated. I kinda get what they were going for, but it didn't quite work as they were hoping for.

Using gyro controls can be used successfully and correctly if done right. But it would also be nice to provide regular non-gyro controls if people do not wish to use the motion controls.

I've only played the Genesis games of The Lion King and Aladdin. I never played the SNES versions of The Lion King and Aladdin.
I've heard good things about the SNES versions being better then the Genesis versions.

I enjoyed playing the Genesis versions of both games, but I would like to play the SNES versions to see if it's actually better then the ones on Genesis.

I know of a friend who bought Mega Man X3 off eBay for almost 200 dollars and the guy never shipped it and closed his account. A week later another user sold the exact same copy for about fifty bucks more because he raised the trending price with the last sale. It's bullshit.

Sorry that your friend got ripped off.  I hope they were able to get a refund from eBay.

That's another thing that you need to watch out for on eBay is to check the reviews on the seller's page.  Are the reviews 100% positive? Or negative? Or neutral?  Is the seller reliable according to the buyers who bought stuff from him or her?

If I see something that I like, I would always check the seller's page to see if they have any positive reviews or not.  If the seller has positive reviews and the buyers claim that they are very reliable, then I would buy something from that seller. I know there are some reviews that are false and try to make the good sellers look bad by providing false feedback or that they are uncooperative even when seller is being cooperative with them.

I, too, would try to be patience and wait for a good price on certain games. Because there is no way I'm buying an overpriced game or game console.  I remember seeing the Playstation 20th Annivesary PS4 console, (with the PS1 color scheme), being sold for $1K!  It's ridiculous!  I really dislike scalpers.
