Alright, I know the game came out a year ago and nothing will change, but I'm just curious if the community agrees with what I'm thinking about 2048..
Soo, I always played HD/Fury on PS3 era and never had the chance to play 2048 on VITA, so Omega Collection actually resulted in a chance for it. Let's be honest: the design, the setting.. I loved all this since the first time I've tried 2048. Loved also the variation of having longer and larger tracks, and stuff like this.
It's just the system that makes me like " meh.."
There's no variation on choosing ships, yes you can try them out but then you are forced to use only specific ships, specially on online races.
On lower classes Piranha Speed TOTALLY dominates the rest, Feisar Prototype is a beast in most of tracks on A speed, AG-Systems Speed is insane on A+, faster than Feisar and Piranha Speed, and today I stil don't know it this is supposed or it's a bug..
The speed statistics are too far unbalanced, it's not as HD/Fury, yes you can feel that Piranha, Icaras and Tigron are the fastest (specially on time trials) but on racing is still all balanced, and that's why I have no problems on playing all the ships on all speed classes (yes, using Piranha and Triakis on Phantom can be tricky, but still, these are just 2 cases and you can still do it).
The weapon/item pads, just unfair. The fact you can get for example 4 times in a row a single weapon or even a TURBO. Missiles seems to not stun as they should be, most of the times they lose their aim too quickly.
And other modes too.. combat, why having the possibility
of restoring health instead of having a shortly shield? Considering there are sooo many pads instead of HD/Fury..
And Zone Mode. I've played a lot of zone mode in these years so I can say it: the aim of zone should be to make you perfect, and that's how it works on HD/Fury.. every perfect zone, lap, even speed pad, everything matters in order to get you more points, even having the risk of barrell rolling. And on 2048? The important thing is just too survive, no barrell rolls, no perfect zones.. just survive till you can.
I can understand the try on changing a bit the system but no, just no.. all these things made me to not enjoy 2048 at all, maybe a bit only pure race, but the rest, just no. And maybe that's also why, when there are still lobbies online in this game, 90% of them are on HD/Fury.
Sorry for my english bust most of you know I'm italian so I try my best.. to be honest, what do you think?
