If sunset overdrive is a platformer then so is infamous.

So is prototype and so is saints row 4.

No. In none of those games does this statement

it seems to force you to play one way which I didn't like(keep grinding and keep bouncing).
Hold true.

In none of those games will you find a sequence like one I posted and none of those games have skill based platforming where you have to chain jumps, bounces, grinds, and timing for successful platforming. In each of those games its pretty much just flying or holding a traversal button down and pressing forward, no real skill or strategy to the platforming.

Its crazy to me that in a thread where both Jet Set Radio and Ratchet and Clank are being praised as great platformers, the mention of Sunset Overdrive throws y'all into a tizzy. Sunset Overdirve is basically those two games put together.

Its like y'all just scour the arcadium and look for ways to oppose me, like a bunch of bytches :scust:

I love Rayman Legend but what happened to games like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Sonic Adventure, jak and Daxter, Jet Set RadioApe Escape, ect



:mjcry::mjcry::mjcry:
Well you have two choices my friend. Either below this post, or below the post below this one...
Theres tons of great 2D indie games.

But I need a nice new 3 D one.


Instead we got knack :mjcry:
Or you can have Sunset Overdrive which I would call a 3D platformer of sorts :manny:


And while this is old, here is a bunch of games you didn't know about dropping this year on XB1


Eat up tho, cuz we need to clear some space for even more choices :eat:

We just had this thread a couple weeks ago.

Sunset overdrive is the best 3d platformer of recent years.
No the fukk it isnt.

Even if you wanted to classify it as a platformer,which is REALLY pushing it,because its more of mash up of genres like in famous and ratchet and clank its nowhere near as good as the new mario.

The platforming in Sunset Overdrive is damn near fool proof. You pretty much are a magnet to the environment and you can't really fail when jumping around.
I've played all these games to completion, you only played one so I know what I'm talking about. All that other "skillfull" gameplay nonsense you talking about is hilarious. Sunset Overdrive was a walk in the park as was Infamous. Both those games had damn near similar control schemes.

:popcorn:

I'll let you cook though.

I ain't beat Sunset??? :mjlol:

:russ:

Oh shyt :dead:

That fake ending is funny :mjlol:

Your character actually says Neogaf is gonna be pissed if that's how it ends.

It would've been even better if they said Mass Effect 3 as reference.

Edit: Just beat it. :ehh: The main game isn't too long as it shows I only played for 9 hours and some change but there's a lot of challenges and side quests to do. :manny:
