What went wrong?
it wasnt the battletoads reboot
>>339084292
Activision
Christ why do us TMNT fans get fucked over all the time?
It wasn't Turtles in Time
We'll never get another TMNT Tournament Fighter
Platinum made this to make a quick buck because not enough of you shitters buy their good games
It's basically what Korra and Transformers were
Not a WOW game but still better than most interpretations and is about getting gud and a high score
>>339084839
I don't want to buy a WiiU
>>339084979
Can't you just button mash through most enemies?
I can list a ton of issues and by the time I am done someone will just say TL;DR or autism but for the basic problems
they got the korra and anarchy reigns devs to make it and decided instead of giving us a bayonetta mgr style game they gave us a mad world game
there is no fan service what so ever transformers and korra had a pretty decent amount all this have is a rat king reference.
The ui is fucking atrocious as well as the controls being pretty retarded.
Transformers has twice the content and cost the same amount.
Out of the shadows has more fan service and more content and was 15 dollars, although that game was buggy as fuck and had aun polished combat system
I can go into more detail and say more but this was just off the top of my head
you now remember this game
I don't trust reviewers one bit. But I'm too interested in this because it supposedly only shines in co-op, which is what a Turtles game should be like.
I never played Korra or Transformers but I can't imagine them being that much worse than MGR. I have Korra in my library so I should probably just play that so I can play a decent action game and fap to brown muscle girl.
>>339084696
The new tabletop game looks legitimately good, and the new cartoon and comic are amazing. But yeah, video games have been rough lately.
>>339085983
This game is such a fucking disgrace. In interviews you could tell the devs were so excited and passionate about this game, and wanted to represent every side of the TMNT franchise. There were staff that grew up with the old cartoon, there were staff who got hooked on the original comics, staff that grew up with the cartoon and THEN got hooked on the comics, people who were diehard fans of the movies, they just clearly all loved the shit out of the series.
And then the game comes out and most of the characters not from the new cartoon were cut in favor of like five fucking Rabbids. Ubisoft can go to fucking hell, I hate their goddamn guts. They're even worse than EA when it comes to milking a franchise into oblivion.
>>339085696
Also Mikey microwaves his pizza. That is bullshit.
>>339086862
kind of the opposite of the platinum game it feels like they just wanted to make an 80s turtles game, this game is goofy as fuck and does not fit idw turtles at all
>>339085219
its good nostalgia with friends, easy game tho
>>339084292
>no local 2player
>need XBL/PSN to play it with anyone but yourself
>no one respects beat'em ups anymore so millennials cry about the gameplay length and price tag
>>339088116
nostalgia of what? there is nothing nostalgic about it if it being a tmnt game is what makes it nostalgic you must be desperate
>>339088537
>>no one respects beat'em ups anymore so millennials cry about the gameplay length and price tag
It's not even full priced either.
>>339088537
when you have bayonetta 2 and transformers devastation with more content at the same price its very reasonable to say this game is not worth its price you fucking retard.
How have so many studios manage to ruin such a simple concept?
>Spawn into a freeroam zone and just kill bad guys
>They thought this was okay instead of actual fleshed out levels.
>>339089237
Worst part is t hat it has some decent enough controls for some platforming segments.
Even the fucking Ubisoft 2007 game had platforming to break up the combat action.
Activision: We need a TMNT game, what can you do and for how much?
Platinum: Give us 250.000 and we'll deliver a god tier game
Activision: what can I get for 15k?
>>339089191
Jesus. Say what you will about Mutants in Manhattan, but to see it fare like that in comparison to all those other games is kind of harsh. I find that hard to believe that those other games are regarded better then this game, which is at least solid and consistent.
Is it really to chaotic?
>>339089191
I pity the fool who talks shit about Battle Nexus
>>339089191
I remember liking the 2003 turtles ones. Well at least the first one and its GBA game.
>>339089191
Because no one gives them time or money to actually make a decent game. It's always a rushed cash grab praying on the young and nostalgic
Still have this gem in working condition. In 22 years I've only managed to beat the Shredder twice
The open world looks so fucking bland. It's a shame really, because it would lose NOTHING from being a hallway smash em up instead of this.
>>339089601
In single player it is. The AI is all over the fucking place and just gets in the way while you're trying to do killer moves.
There's like 10 ninjas on screen and you're trying to focus on one, and then suddenly the whole team decides to ignore your AI orders, ignore all the other ninjas and wail on the one ninja you're beating up.
At least I could tell them to fuck off in Out of the Shadows.
I'm not sure how multiplayer is because I pirated it. I don't have any friends on PC to justify buying it and apparently online is dead anyways.
>>339089952
I would have preferred a hallway smash up with a fixed sideway scrolling camera just so that we can get some god damn local co-op
>>339089191
they seem to try to fix whats wrong with the last game and fuck up what made the previous one little gems of goodness.
Out of the shadows had superb fan service mutants in Manhattan has none
out of the shadows have red head bands mim have shitty random costumes
out of the shadows have more enemy variety and they make sense, throwing in rock soldiers by level 2 is stupid in mim
out of the shadows has shitty arkham combat but let you switch easily with the dpad, mim has better combat but its retarded with how switching turtles requires you to hold l2 to do it meaning if you hold it to long you fuck up your combo.
the story in out of the shadows is shit but it flows with the gameplay,, mim has krangs soldiers by the first level.
Out of the shadows most of the weapons and moves are directly from movies and comics, Mim is naruto tier ninjutsu
Mim is the better game but only gameplay wise
>>339089739
I couldn't enjoy the first one. The levels were way too long and there was no 4 player co-op.
I lost interest in the sequel but I heard they fixed that.
>hard mode
>full 4 player team
>escort the gold
>entire team's face when FUCKING MOUSERS
>>339090128
The sad part about Out of the Shadows is that it has a decent enough move list, but the input is all heavily delayed. It's like it's all on a queue list to play a slow ass animation instead of just playing the damn animation as soon as possible.
The counter system is also wonky as fuck and the game demands that you counter constantly. You can't even pull off any of your moves because there's always 1 or 2 fuckers who wants to punch you from the back as soon as you start doing a combo.
why can't my lean green machines catch a break in the vidya world
Nothing truly great since Turtles in Time
Chances are there will be a honest to god new Battletoads before a good Turtles game
>>339090620
Battle Nexus, nigger.
>>339090620
Well naughty dog is free now.
>>339090415
yeah I think a platinum tmnt game has better combat but out of the shadows hit my nostalgia bone hard I wish they both get sequels and fix all their issues both games just need a sequel to work out their retarded decisions
>>339089601
Yes. The game drops like a dozens foot soldiers on you doing shit while you and the three other turtles are also doing shit which makes seeing anything a difficult task. Might as well just spam light attack and wait for the S ratings to roll in.
A few times I just sat back while the AI fought each other and would still get S ratings. The game is a joke.
>only combos to do are light attacks followed by a heavy
>only moves you can unlock are the single button press specials
>in a platinum action game
Out of everything wrong this game does, this is the worst. The game doesn't even feel like it was made by Platinum.
>>339090620
because activison fucked up both out of the shadows and mutants in Manhattan,
mutants in manhattan was rushed out and they wanted it to be a more serious action game but activision convinced them to make a silly game
out of the shadows was never allowed to be patched from being a buggy as fuck mess
>blaming activison
patinum and redfly are also to blame for the stupid decisions they made
>lv 4 auto heal
>40% str
>lv 2 undercover
>lv 2 dodge up
thats with only two charms. fuckin baller
It was made by the anrachy reigns devs with korras combat designer it feels exactly like what that sounds like, which is not a fucking good thing
>>339091063
>>339091270
Explains a lot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YceSXH9kRrE
>>339091270
Who made Transformers then? I assumed all these Activision games were made by the same team
>>339087546
Absolutely disgustng.
>>339085696
Hey anarchy reigns was cool apart from the hackjob that was the online part
>>339092472
yeah they are the worst team
>>339092584
transformers was mostly mgr and bayonetta staff they have no teams they just see who is free and make them a team
>>339090834
Fucking title screen for OotS was fantastic nostalgia bomb
>>339093103
I liked it too its just not a tmnt platinum game people wanted, people wanted online play and singleplayer where you can switch turtles like styles in dmc4 with a transformers devistation sized single player
we got mad world meets korra
>>339087546
Man he's always done that, remember when they had Xenomorphs in their pizza from the microwave?
>>339093271
Turtle switching really should have been a priority.
It's dumb that items took priority over Turtles
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-rQQ1uvecg
Game of my childhood desu, fighting the Elite Guards were my favorite ones, also shame that Slasher is only found in this.
>>339092490
>>339093258
https://youtu.be/Bsegd_vLmUs?t=22s
>>339095436
I remember installing this piece of shit and getting hyped immediately hearing this
>>339094130
its the same guy who did korra which also had 4 unique move sets at least this time they did not do it via r1 and l1
>>339095436
>>339095543
>>339093258
its a shitty game but the fan service is huge
there should be a tmnt game where you focus on each turtle individually. put time travel or something in it. like spiderman shattered dimensions
>>339095627
Yeah I will give them that they referenced every facet of TMNT (something this new game didn't even bother with since it was catering to IDW snobs and kids) but that's not enough to carry a game unfortunately
>>339095436
why was this a digital only title again?
>TMNT with Anarchy Reigns gameplay
>Co op Anarchy Reigns
This is a bad thing?
>>339095764
it barely caters to idw fans it mostly catered to kids the only thing idw about it is the designs, and the story the gameplay feel like they only know about the 80s and nick cartoon
>>339095954
I don't see anything from the Nick cartoon.
idw karai is the hottest karai
>>339095885
TMNT with worse Anarchy Reigns gameplay and Co-Op
was that transformers game any good?
>>339095827
because the game was small as fuck and unlike this game they priced it accordingly, this game should be 30 bucks max also no taunt what the fuck? even out of the shadows had one
>>339095764
The game seems pretty moddable. I wish some sort of community took off to fix it
![TMNT.2007.1080p.BluRay.x264.AC3.IN.Fla)v(eS.mkv_snapshot_01.03.03_[2013.11.06_12.12.35].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/8XtYzff.jpg "TMNT.2007.1080p.BluRay.x264.AC3.IN.Fla)v(eS.mkv_snapshot_01.03.03_[2013.11.06_12.12.35].jpg")
>>339096118
Movie Karai wasn't too bad.
>>339096105
I mean how goofy it is the idw series is not serious but its not as goofy as this game is
>>339094446
Usagi's in? That's amazing. Is he playable?
>>339095885
because people always said what if tmnt was made by the dmc devs, then platinum, how the fuck is a watered down version of anarchy reigns what anyone wanted.
>I wanted it
your a fag a dmc clone with turtle switching is what people always dreamed of
>>339097594
I don't think so but you should play it, the campaign is a lot of fun
How's the April in the new game?
It's amazing how easy it is to mash light attack and still get an S-Rank in fights.
I honestly wouldn't have an issue with a simple combat system as long as the level design was solid.
Beat'em Ups by nature are repetitive, but they spice up the action by giving you a variety of enemies and level environments constantly. The action is non-stop and the music is fucking pumping.
Platinum's game doesn't even manage to do that. It's all style, no substance.
>>339098232
>>339097724
So the main problem with the game isn't the game but the fact that people wanted something it was never going to be?
>>339098489
Alright.
>>339098489
>>339098232
SFM when?
>>339085219
Hard mode some of the more difficult enemies can really swing into you.
But if you get good at the parry system you make the game cake.
Basically if you can dodge at the right time which all attacks are telegraphed, the game is easy mode.
>>339089237
Usually the city levels.
Random missions to beat til the boss comes.
I hate that setup.
At least the last level is more linear and has a Boss Run part.
>>339098613
>was never going to be
Korra
MGR
Transformers
also you missed the biggest problem its anarchy reigns with a working online but shitty ui, shitty gameplay little enemy variety and shitty random events but please tell me how this was a good game cause no one is falling for it
Anybody here that liked Korra but disliked this?
>>339099261
>Korra
>MGR
>Transformers
It was never going to be and never advertised to be any of those games.
Honestly if it was just a pure 1:1 of Anarchy Reigns with TMNT it would have been great, as long it has a huge ass playable character roster. How long has it been since Casey Jones or Rat King were playable?
Nobody wants to accept that Platinum is shit.
Trying to master needlessly complicated controls is not good design - it's artificial difficulty.
>>339099641
What exact point are you even trying to make here?
Those 3 games all showed what Platinum is capable of
What Platinum delivered and its reception isn't because people had some false idea of what game they were going to get. Its reception is that the game is barebones and nowhere near the same level of quality as their other games or even basic shovel ware games.
>>339099520
The opposite for me rather. Not that I dislike Korra, but I far enjoyed this over it, in comparison.
>>339099848
Aside from the stupid turtle switching, the items, and dumb super moves, the controls aren't even an issue.
It's just incredibly shallow. Even more shallow than your common beat em up.
>>339098613
That's almost always what the problem is
>>339099861
My point was that it's not so bad. Just that people are let down because they expected more for no reason. I feel once people look back and accept it's not a DMC clone like everyone wants every Platinum game to be they will see it's better then the way they are treating it now.
>>339099641
oh the old "the game was not going to be like that so why are you basing it on that" excuse
because thats what people said they wanted when they first heard the leak, no one wanted anarchy reigns with shittier everything. tell me one good thing this game did
The combat? no its extremely dumbed down
the anarchy reigns style? it uses 3 maps over and over with horrible minigame style events
the fan service? there is none
the content? transformers and bayonetta 2 both released at the same price with double the content if I am being generous to this game.
they made three games using other companies ips and what did they make? bayonetta style games, what about nier 2? looks a lot like bayonetta 2 why was this game different? because anarchy reigns devs worked on it and guess what no one is happy with it.
They could not even let us switch with out holding l2 because we sure do need those items that are completely unrelated to tmnt
>kevin eastman cover collectibles
>no kevin eastman turtle costumes
this game is filled with great ideas that are not used
>>339100183
>I feel once people look back and accept it's not a DMC clone like everyone wants every Platinum game to be they will see it's better then the way they are treating it now.
Not being a 1:1 DMC clone isn't the problem. It's a bore. Final Fight has one button combat and it's still far more entertaining than this.
It's shallow as hell even for a basic brawler.
>>339084683
Platinum Games. You can't blame Activision for the shit decisions the dev team made anon.
>>339100189
>because thats what people said they wanted when they first heard the leak
You released they didn't start working on the game after the leak right? Or do you think they leaked the idea, waited for fan feed back, then went on to make it and ignored all that feed back? By the time you saw the leak, and over hyped the game to be a DMC clone, it was already a AR clones. It doesn't matter what their past games were, because it was never going to be those past games. It was never stated to be those past games. It was never ever going to be your dream game and you are retarded for thinking it was going to be. You are even more retarded for thinking it never being a DMC clone is an excuse.
>>339090128
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqd1o-6xjvM
God, what went so wrong?
It looked fun
Hell, this looks way faster than the game we got
>>339100653
I don't see how any of that excuses its lack of content, shallow level design and lackluster combat
I wish this and Transformers didn't go for the shitty damage sponge enemies and broken random-drop equipment shit. It makes the balance of both of those games fucking trash.
>>339101304
I never spoke of those things. You must have miss read something I said. All I ever said is it's stupid to go into this game thinking its Bayonetta and being disappointed from it being different.
>mfw the game can hardly get rated a 5/10 by any reviewer
>>339101712
>random-drop equipment shit
TMNT has that too? That sucks.
Good thing I'm not a Ninja Turtles fan, because this would've been a bit disappointment. I hope Activision stops contracting Platinum to make these low budget games.
>>339100183
ANARCHY REIGNS IS A DECENT GAME FUCKING RETARD
this game is a pathetic excuse of a anarchy reign clone it was disapointment on 2 levels
you like dmc style games? fuck you its not that
like anarchy reigns? to bad its a half assed version
>>339103025
I find myself never caring about TMNT.
I was a huge turtle lover when I was a kid.
But I find myself always buying their big games.
As in my older years, the CGI TMNT movie game, the Out of Shadows one, and now this one.
I never ever buy a game without looking into it, but I seen it and I knew it's by Platinum and bought it on a whim.
Fucking Ninja Turtles.
>>339101803
I went into it seeing the gameplay I knew full well it was an anarchy reigns mad world game it got me hyped, the gameplay sucks fucking dick though so not only did we not the game people wanted a game that could have been good as an anarchy reigns style game finally giving it the recognition it deserved was half assed.
I still do not see how they thought this game style fit tmnt though it really does not
>>339103195
>ANARCHY REIGNS IS A DECENT GAME
Yeah.
This game is too.
>>339089191
>mfw Reshelled
That wasn't the shittiest remake I ever played but it was the most soulless.
>>339089191
Why...
Just played a level.
You know what.
I don't think I like this game.
There's little content, and only a few levels that all drag out.
Fuck.
>promise us 60 fps
>no version is 60 fps
they are patching it right?
Why can't my lean green machines catch a break in the vidya world man? I am 28 years old and the last time there was a legit great TMNT game was Turtles in Time when I was a literal 3 year old.
>>339106085
Nope.
If you have the PC version you can mod it for 60fps though
>>339103630
okay now your just trying to justify your purchase, compared to anarchy reigns this game has no depth and anarchy reigns barely had any to start with
I'm surprised this ended up being crap. I mean, the Transformers game wasn't perfect, but it was a very enjoyable action game in its own right with some amazing fanservice to boot.
>>339106602
Didn't even buy it.
We just have different definitions of decent it seems. It was fun enough for me running around co op.
so they have jet packs and could not even do one little mini level where you fight wearing them?
Also fuck them for making it impossible to get max health in a lvel
>>339089191
Hey I love that GBA game, I still play it to this day.
>>339095736
Yeah they could base it on that subplot in the 2003 cartoon where they're sent to different time periods.
What exactly is so bad, on a fundamental level, about the Turtles that makes every game about them since Turtles in Time so fucking bad?
>>339108758
Nothing.
That's why it's a shocker that it always turns out to be shit.
>>339108758
Literally too radical for video games after the 90's ended, that's the only explanation.
>>339089952
theres the sewers and subway thats about it for hallway smashers
and theres a boss rush level so that counts
>>339109147
Makes me think how strict Splinter is and lets the turtles indulge so much in Pizza when it's so unhealthy for you when they're trained to be at tip top shape.
>>339109282
Not even ninjas can say no to pizza
The CGI movie's GBA game was great. If you genuinely haven't played a good one since TiT then you're not even fucking playing them.
>>339110216
It's pretty fun, but I wish it had 4 player multiplayer
We'll always have fan games
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN0l7AOe6gA
>>339110474
this it aint a real tmnt game unless it has it
Mutant Melee was god tier, fuck you tasteless faggots
probably the only good thing about this game is they might add wingnut and armagon to the idw series
