I have the first four games on my PS2
you need to evolve a game to call it progressive in its genre
i.e. the first trilogy + Gladiator
games i mentioned evolved while XXL stayed the same
OG has new mechanics but thats where it ended
yeah, I do agree with you
XXL1's combat feels lacking when I played it
which is probably because XXL2 fleshed it out more
e.g. ground pound, throws etc
and microids are bunch of cunts who have all the resources to develop a good quality game but instead they produce crap like XXL2 XXLR
gosh i wish i was sleeping and having a bad dream
they're stupidly inept at games
XXL Romastered was a buggy mess when I first played it
it became the second game I ever refunded
afaik it's still glitchy but I decided to try it out again since from what I heard it's a bit more tolerable rn
