Just 100%'d it again and good god does this game fucking suck.
Getting good at this game really reveals how badly designed and shit it is.
>>733795056How is it inferior to the first championship edition?
>>733795056If that's the case then why did you 100% it MULTIPLE times, you retarded nigger?
>>733795461It's far more linear and scripted than either of its predecessors. You just follow a linear path of dots with no reason to deviate from it aside from ghosts bumping into you. The ONE element of strategy is that you don't need to eat every dot to progress, but if you do the dot score multiplier is maintained in the next maze and you get a bomb, which are added to your score at the end if not used. But once you figure out the optimal path (which is not hard to do), then that's it, nothing you could do better. Everything is also very segmented. Instead of balancing eating dots with eating ghosts like classic Pac-Man or CE1, or trying to keep the ghost combo going as long as possible like CEDX, here the power pellets are absent for most of the game, until one appears in place of a fruit, and when that happens, you have to eat every ghost train in order to progress, instead of eating the ghosts being something to optionally shoot for for extra points. The ghost trains themselves move erratically and you can only eat one from the front; you'll just bump off the sides and back. The ghost-eating sections are the main deciding factor on your final score, and it pretty much just comes down to luck.It's also the fastest CE game, but unlike CEDX where there were factors that changed your speed so you wanted to increase and maintain high speed, here it's just always fast in attempt to disguise how shallow the gameplay actually is. Pure style over substance.
>>733796397I play and 100% bad games so I can say in full confidence that they're shit.I also feel that, like I said here >>733795162, that getting good at a game really opens your eyes to a game's quality. I wanted to have that moment of realizing "wait this game is good" but that never came. If anything, it did the opposite.I did it twice because it's been years since I did it last and wanted to give it another try.
okay, there's a lot to unpac here
