Mixed Feelings For A Fighter

Okay, so a while back there was this game that was (and still is) in the making called Death Cargo. It's a fighting game being developed by an Italian company called Necrostorm. This game is supposed to make us feel nostalgic by having 80s and 90s stuff going on with it. It's all bloody, it's all neon-looking and such.

But here's the thing, at first, I really didn't like what I was seeing. I thought it was just some project a college student was making. I wasn't impressed at what was being produced. So I may have had some harsh words about this on another fighting game site I go on that was talking about this game. I thought it was very disrespectful of them for sending a member of their own team onto this site and start bashing us for commenting about the game. Still to this day, I don't like that they did such a thing like that, very unprofessional on their end. However, that's not to say as a year went by, I started to change my mind about the way I started seeing this game.

Yeah, I probably was a bit too harsh about this game, and didn't care that it was being made by a company that doesn't produce video games. This is their first time, how could I be so judgmental like that and forget that this is their first time. But the way they were responding to other criticism wasn't so nice. You see, I started seeing a lot on their old Youtube videos that anyone that enjoyed Mortal Kombat got bashed, and I mean super bashed them. Hold on just a freaking minute... you're going to bash a game that literally inspired this game to be created? I mean, "The 80s and 90s Are Back," is what they keep saying, and last time I checked, Mortal Kombat came out in the 90s. You're going to bash any fan that is a Mortal Kombat fan? That game is what making your game come to life. And yeah, there are a lot of things in this game that seems like a pure ripoff of Mortal Kombat, but what's not to say that a lot of fighting games out there right now hasn't taken something from another game that turn it into their own?

I will say, I don't like the names they chose for their characters. Amaz-1-Ng...? It's like part woman part cyborg... Plasma, Morbo, Crystal (who actually is a guy)... But they don't look like fighters. Leach is some Hulk-like character wearing Daisy Dukes... Yeah, they could have done something better with the characters.

From their latest Youtube video showing yet another Beta, I will say, from that video alone, it got me re-thinking that this game might not be so bad as what I thought it was back in the past. Their game is mainly about some large ship managed to lose these weapons that are now taking control of these characters. Plasma is like the head captain of the ship and is out searching for them. As much as I keep seeing it's face (it is neither a man or a woman), I do like what I see, despite him having Chun Li's special. I would really appreciate seeing other characters for once in these Beta videos that Necrostorm puts out.

I don't know, I have mixed feelings for this game, I did before and that was until I continued seeing things from this company I didn't appreciate. However, you're entitled to change minds about things, you know?
