Turn the Noise Down

My thoughts and rant-ish type thing on Ryuusei no Rockman/Shooting Star Rockman 3~

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I was excited about RnR3 when the teaser site first came out. The wallpaper really caught my attention and I just loved it all, with all the news pouring out. Then mid-way through, it didn't seem so great after all. Then some more news came out and I got excited again and so here I am.

Let's start with the beginning~
The teaser site was launched and it was great. There was all this news about this and that. Then some more wallpapers came out and the new Rockman looked great. Then the first set of Noise Changes came in, they were Cygnus, Ox, Gemini, Ophiuchus and Libra. Cygnus and Ox were the only good-looking ones. Looks determine a lot of stuff. Then news about this Black Ace form came out, and unlike everyone else, I didn't exactly like it. There was just something about it that I disliked...maybe because it looked Gundum-ish? So from there, I was disappointed with SSR3. Then the next set of Noise Changes came along. So now we have Cancer, Wolf, Corvus, Virgo, and Crown. From there, only Wolf, Cancer and Corvus were good. Still, I liked Cygnus the best. It's just something about that swan and his Quackey Lackies.

Then comes news about the other version...Red Joker! I love his color theme! Red! And well, he's just so much cooler! I guess it's my type of character, even though he is bulky.

I hate Acid Ace. I guess it's his Baryl-ness and I never like Baryl. Solo and Laplace are awesome. I'm glad to see that Gonta is getting into the fray. I'm glad to see Kizamaro finally getting some attention since he gets a wizard, now. I don't understand why there is a Ophiuchus Noise but no Ophiuchus Wizard! I'm so glad that there isn't a Harp Noise. Jack Corvus reminds me of Bly. The name "Queen Virgo" reminds me of Ophiuchus Queen.

The most exciting part of all this...the new pictures. I really like all the new pictures. To me that is.

I've counted up all the forms and there are 112 different forms in Ryuusei no Rockman 3! 10 Forms Outs, 10 Color Outs, 90 Merge Out, and 2 Finalize. Do the math.

The one thing that really got me was...

-Hornicouhi expressed his wishes to keep creating Shootig Star games once a year in an attempt to "reflect the players growth with the game's characters."

This got me really hyped up making me believe that SSR3 isn't the last!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

So yeah, these are my thoughts, they weren't exactly well put together because that's what a rant is. So there we are. And remember...Turn the Noise Down

I'd love to see the "noise turned down". Seriously, building a game on the concept of power-up from random interference seems kind of weird to me.

I'm not going to buy or R4 Ryuusei 3. It's just not worth my time.

:o
But why?

Yeah so noise is interference but being able to use that to your advantage? That's genius.

And I used the title because I saw that at the end of some RnR3 video.

The problem is, how. The game has so many scientific holes besides the obvious (like Denpa-wave humans, but that's not entirely ruled out), I'm not even going to talk about them.

:o but why?

I dunno. I don't really follow this stuff anymore. I'm moving onto interesting things. I might fall back on it about 4 years later, when I'm 19, though...

Hi, Zodiac. Welcome to the world of video games, anime, and fiction. Over here, you'll notice magic. That's not possible with real life physics. Over there, you'll notice 'hyper-advanced' technology. Hell, we don't even know if it's possible. But most importantly...

WE DON'T CARE.

Enjoy your stay!


Edit: By the way, looking at Gameplay footage, it's looks pretty fun, ESPECIALLY compared to the previous games! The music's not bad, either! ^-^ I may actually enjoy this one!

Edit 2: But did you see the sales figures? Ouch... Let's just hope that's due to the economic issues going on right now. :/
