Dang, what was wrong with River City Ransom Underground? I saw the trailers before release and thought it looked great. I was actually thinking of picking it up soon, but now I see you guys in here saying it was no good.
Well, I did say it was ok after some patches. It started out very flawed, but they fixed most of the issues. From what I remember:
- Started with less moves than the original game.
- There's a wanted system which was nice, but it was too easy to accidentally hit civilians and summon the cops.
- The move list was crap in the beginning. You'd buy a new move and it just says "Press Kick." Well, it looks like the same kick. That's because the new move is part of a combo string, but the game didn't mention that. Some moves had the wrong inputs altogether.
- Tutorials that would pop up in the middle of a fight which you may accidentally skip since you're, you know, fighting.
- Adding too much Strength to your character causes pushback so some of your combos will no longer connect (WTF?!!)
- Playing online was fine, but your progress didn't save. Only the hosts.
There were other issues too, but most of it was fixed. Maybe all of it by now. I dunno. The last thing I remember was a patch screwed up the Muay Thai clinch for one of the fighters and a couple of patches later didn't fix it.
