MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-03-2015 5:22 AMSo I recently got godzilla save the earth and the problems just came to me edmently. For one the game is slow paced. For melee each battle takes about a minute but save the earth it takes about five minets. Also you can't block revover moves you can't block from behind you can't crouch block you can't do anything with blocking. Also they got rid of crouch attacks for some stupid reason. Now for the graphics that don't mean really anything to a game are not as good as they where in melee. The models now ar just so blockey espcilly with gigan who looks like good N64 graphics and that is terrible for a ps2 game. Also the challenges are so annoying. The camera system in the is so slugish you move the charater wiith on joy stick and aim with the other wich requairs two thumbs keeping you from the attack buttons. Just designed for failere. Now I could go on and on about it gitting rid of little triks like y canceling wich is when you do a roar tauntou can cancelle it by pressing y but then again those are bugs that kind of do need to be fixed. But by far the biggest problem is no mael book. How am I supposed to know how to use speacail abiltes like mothras beam reflect or spacegodzillas heal abiltey. Well good thing there is the internet to tell me that but still thouhgt game give me a manule for this kind of stuff. I just am not a fan of the new gameplay of this game and you know what I'm going bakc to melee. Oh also the game is very buggy and crashes some times if played for more than 20 minetes but that might just be me.

MemberBaragonFeb-03-2015 11:42 AMYou might have a scratched disk. I got Save the Earth when it came out(I remember because it was $40 instead of the usual $50 for a new game) and never noticed it to be that buggy. I think it was an improvement over Melee, but not by huge standards. It basically just had a bigger monster roster many of which were welcome additions to the game. The problem I had was the all the monsters that came from Melee basically stayed the same, I would have liked new move sets and abilities from some of the monsters. I do agree some of the challenges are extremely annoying and seeing as you are forced to do them as you play through the story that does get old.
The only other problem I have is the lack of a story. I read about the intended story but it got thrown out aand instead the only way to get an ending it to play I believe Godzilla 2000 on expert and beat it and you get a small video of Space Godzilla gets trapped in a wormhole. Would have been nice to see the story that surrounded it.

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-03-2015 12:27 PMI actually always considered Save the earth an improvement over DAM, on the other hand unleashed whas a disapointment

AdminGodzillaFeb-03-2015 3:52 PMI pretty much agree with JRR.
DAM: Melee was fun, but I like Save the Earth a lot more. Unleashed was the true letdown.

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-03-2015 6:21 PMI don't know what you're talking about. I have the Xbox version, and I have experienced none of the problems you have. It is supposed to come with a booklet, which I own. I enjoyed Unleashed, but I have the Wii version and I don't like the controls.
FOR SCIENCE OF COURSE!

MemberBaragonFeb-04-2015 1:55 PMI loved save the earth. Unleashed was a major disappointment like what JRR and Gman2887 said.

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-05-2015 4:41 AMWell if its just my copy of the game then ok but I should still have acsses to th entire moveset of the kaiju I play as and I agree with you all unleashed is stupid. I have no idea what dalek8 is talking about. I guess he likes laggey bugged out games with bad controls and fan art for cutscenes but if likes that then ok I guess enjoy that stuff somehow. But really though can you guys really chrouch attack and block recovery attacks. Argh people wining about th graphics in godzilla p3 and now this why me.

Huge-Ben
MemberBaragonFeb-05-2015 1:36 PM^No need disrespect dalek8 for him liking what he likes. Yeah, you said "ok" but you could still hurt his/her feelings about it.

The King of the Monsters
MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-05-2015 2:29 PMTo me, Destroy All Monsters Melee was an amazing game for its time graphic and mechanics-wise and it still holds up incredibly well today. I feel like Save the Earth was a step back graphics-wise and was not the improvement it could have been, but the added monsters and environments pretty much made up for it.
Personally, I don't consider Unleashed a disappointment at all, at least regarding the Wii version. The PS2 version was a travesty and the DS version was a pretty poor game, but I loved the huge playable roster of monsters in the Wii version and I felt the graphics were excellent. The controls were very frustrating at first, but I adjusted to them and was able to play the game comfortably.

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-06-2015 11:32 AMThanks T.K.O.T.M that really helps out. I was thinking of gettin gthe ps2 version but if its no better than the wii version than that buy won't be happening and sorry to dalek8 if I hurt his feeling earleyer that was not my intent at all there really was no point to the last part so just feel free to ignore it. Also thanks to all of you for not getting mad and giving me hate over this not to point fingures or anthing but I felt like someone would take it the wrong way but luckley we did'nt have to deel with that. Now lets get to the important buissnes (clears throat) What the crud am I looking at here?
No I'm dead serious what am I looking at? How dare even see this as a joke what do you think people on the internet have emotions or something oh wait of course this is the internet peoples emotions are over 9000 times stonger online beacuse logic!(Man that was a run on sentence.)

MemberBaragonJun-01-2021 4:28 PMWhat am I looking at here? What have I come across? Why is Godzilla dancing to Caramelldansen?

MemberAnguirusJun-01-2021 5:07 PMI like Destroy All Monsters Melee, but Save the Earth is the best in my opinion.

MemberBaragonJun-01-2021 5:12 PMUnleashed isn't bad on the wii either.

Kattozilla
MemberAnguirusJun-01-2021 5:17 PMi love Unleashed but that's mostly because it's the only godzilla game ive played
and i just really love Krystalak for some reason

KaijuFan_6754
MemberBaragonJun-01-2021 7:49 PMYeah, his design is cool. He should have his own film honestly!

Im Durp
MemberBaragonJun-02-2021 7:29 AMWow seeing my old acc from 2015 is a little trip down memory lane.

Kattozilla
MemberAnguirusJun-02-2021 7:35 AMwhat's so weird is that i've been binging the song Caramelldansen the frick
YES KRYSTALAK MOVIE
SPACEGODZILLA MIGHT MAKE A RETURN IN IT TOO

KaijuFan_6754
MemberBaragonJun-02-2021 7:44 AMI would like that! I was thinking of making Obsidius the bad guy...

Kattozilla
MemberAnguirusJun-02-2021 7:48 AMbut y-
i like Obsidius too poor guy gets a bad rap
WAIT
MAYBE S P A C E could be the bad guy like Darth Vader or something because hes basically their dad
oof this reminds me of the fanfic i need to actually finish

MemberMothra LarvaeJun-02-2021 8:14 AMAh this gives me good ole memories. Save the Earth was so much fun with a party, especially when we would 2v1, 3v2, Hard CPUs. Unleashed gave me even more of what I wanted, even Biollante, I still have a used copy from way back when and an Unopened Unleashed copy that I still have in my collection. Destroy all Monsters Melee did not fancy my taste as it did not have enough playable monsters and the combat was a tad lack luster.

MemberBaragonJun-02-2021 8:22 AMJordan502 I personaly love destroy all monsters. Especially the cheat codes you could use.
Kattozilla I had no idea Space G is technically their dad. Also, you said THEIR dad not HIS dad, so does that mean Krystalak and Obsidius brothers? Also, I'm guessing they were "born" when Space G's crystals started spawning

Djdndnejwnwn
MemberGiganJun-02-2021 8:27 AMYes they are brothers
expecting the worst, sets you up for thr worst

Kattozilla
MemberAnguirusJun-02-2021 8:28 AMYes, Krystal and Obsidi and considered 'brothers' of some sort because of Space's crystals
im smort :))
and i guess it would make him their...'dad', ig

AdminSpaceGodzillaJun-02-2021 11:57 AMSave the Earth was my favorite growing up, never had any gripes. But Unleashed... major letdown. At the time I only had a PS2 and got the PS2 version of the game, what a joke that was. Most of the new monsters were missing, it lagged hard, it was just such a rip off lol I remember being so pissed.

Kattozilla
MemberAnguirusJun-02-2021 12:04 PMYeah, never played PS2 version but it just sounds inferior...
