Is Z.O.E. worth getting?
« on: April 09, 2001, 03:42:18 PM »
I really just want the M.G.S.2 Demo, but Z.O.E. not the type of game I would usually purchase.  Basically I\'m just asking if I do buy it, is Z.O.E. going to suck?  Should I just wait for Metal Gear Solid 2 to come out this fall?

I\'d pay like 20 bucks for MGS demo (cdn).   I paid, therefore, 45 bucks (cdn) for ZOE, and it was totally worth it.  That\'s how I would put it.

Skip it! Borrow the demo from someone or wait. ZOE is really stupid IMO. No skill or thought required and IMO subpar graphics and a boring ass story.

I like ZOE and the fact it comes with a MGS2 demo makes it more than worth it.

The Graphics are far from subpar, (I have no idea what Ethugg is talking about)

Storyline is weak, battles get repetitive, but boss fights are fun. The game is fun

What\'s so great about the graphics? The jaggies on detailed (smaller/thinner) objects, the super blurry larger objects/textures, or the super snazzy :rolleyes: \'motion blur\'? Maybe that greenish light that occasionally runs up and down the mech impresses you. IMO, playing with deadly snakes is more fun...

The building in the cities look pretty damn good, the mech themselves look fantastic

I never said they we\'re the best ever but you said they we\'re subpar and thats funny

and yes the green light that moves up and down the mech does impress me. I think that looks pretty damn cool.

I recommend that you just rent it.  There is no reason to buy I game that you are not interested in just to get a demo of a game.  It will also save you $45. :)

Ok, maybe i\'m being a bit extreme, but I think it looks like a ok DC game at best. Certainly not what a (says some...) \'2nd gen\' PS2 game should look like.

EThugg, while the game doesn\'t have the most impressive graphics I\'ve ever seen, it does still look nice. The graphical quality certainly isn\'t crappy; I don\'t think ddaryl was being irrational at all when he said they are far from subpar.

edit: Argument is already over; I suck. :P

I own the game; I think it was worth the money spent.

Dude, this comes down to you.  I personally loved both the demo and z.o.e.  It was definitely worth MY money.   Though I\'m not so sure about the American translation of the game, or how corny it sounds in english (I hear it sounds corny, but I don\'t know cause I got the Jap version).  But the gameplay is superb!  The graphics are really imaginative, especially the awesome mecha, which move at an awesome framerate.  Isn\'t that what makes a game?  It\'s all about the gameplay, and this game hit the spot with me.  I just wish the main character wasn\'t a stupid little kid running like a retard around the city blindly following orders from people he\'s never met.  Couldn\'t we get a more mature, cooler main character then him?

well, that\'s my only complaint.  It\'s up to you to decide if you want it or not.

Yeah, a cooler main character, like.....Solid Snake! j/k

Oh, and yes, Leo\'s voice is annoying as hell. But not so bad as to ruin the game.

All in all its a great game, and hell yeah its worth it.

all depends if you love mgs2 or not because ZOE itself is only worth a rent
