Just off the top of my head.

But I suppose that goes same for me in regards to the PS4. There's absolutely zero exclusive titles on there that I care about, and thus, don't have one.

KI looks okay but I would rather play any other new fighting game that's been out recently (Ultimax and Xrd are leagues better), Scalebound isn't out for more than a year and we don't even know what its going to be, Sunset Overdrive is yet another third person shooter platformer by Insomniac games with some of the loving most annoying writing I've had to sit through in recent memory and Quantum Break looks super loving generic like despite all it's big flashy set pieces and time things the game play looks stiff and boring and unfun to someone who has had enough of third person cover-shooters.

I still bought D4 though. Gotta give SWERY my energy.

PS4 is kinda on the same boat for me. I only want it for Bloodborne, but I'm really not getting a console for 1-2 games.

This is where I'm at but replace Bloodbourne with Resogun. That's the only PS4 game that's intrigued me since the console launched and Geometry Wars 3 is going to scratch that itch very soon. Probably not going to get one until it's like ~$200. Maybe ~$250 if something really compelling gets announced in the future.

Wow.

They are completely different games. That's like saying, "Virtua Fighter is way better than Fatal Fury" and honestly, I'm super tired of Arc System Fighting games, as they all play very similarly. Have you even played KI? Or know anything about it? It seems like you've "looked" at it.

I've played about 30 matches of it and the most I can say for it is "Eh. This isn't for me." Which is why I said I'd rather play another fighting game, because KI just isn't my bag. Sorry, Matt. :shrug:. It doesn't help that I can't stand KI's art style or character designs. The whole game just doesn't click with me. The only character I actually think is cool is Skeleton-Lord Spinal

Plus Ultimax's lobby system is so much better than any similar game I can think of from recent years. It's very good.

That's kind of how I feel about KI. It just feels way too 'Trying to be cool' in a 90's way so to me all the characters just feel like MK characters. That's a bit unfair, KI is 1000% more diverse and interesting than pre-X MK, but they fill that same Niche in my brain.

Man, Calaca's first form gets trivialized hard by the addition of Intenso, doesn't it? Infinite stamina costumes didn't help either, I think those made the two hardest fights in the game a lot easier (Jaguar and Calaca 1). Also, the only way to beat that dive move consistently is by never being in the ground, it's infuriating otherwise.

Speaking of which somebody mentioned Kingdom Hearts 3 as a PS4 exclusive earlier and it's not. Both KH3 and Final Fantasy XV are coming to the Bone in addition to PS4.

I love D4 so much. Roland is so great and unsettling and they haven't even started talking to him yet. That whole fight sequence is so amazingly dumb.

I also absolutely love the soundtrack to this game, it's so good.

I don't know about the revised version of the game but in vanilla you could slip in a headbutt after each attack you landed on Galaca 1, cutting the fight in half. You could also juggle Javier in mid-air with the headbutt. The headbutt is your friend.

The new video is only 21 minutes? I guess Liam didn't realize that they missed a whole area. :v: This should be fun.

Watching D4, reminds me of that Jim Sterling article where he jokingly said Deadly Premonition was blatantly better than Heavy Rain and a bunch of people got up in arms about it. That was several years ago, but thinking about it, it's so interesting how American culture is filtered through the eyes of Swery and David Cage and how it's reflected in their games. Cage's games are interesting in concept, but fall apart with execution with their setting. Swery is just kind of nuts and really, really, likes American food...

Watching the Heavy Rain LP, that game amused me with how stupid it was.

Watching the Indigo Prophecy LP, that game made me actively angry at how stupid it was.

Watching the Beyond Two Souls LP, that game made me stop watching the Beyond Two Souls LP with how boring it was.

Hopefully you'll go back and finish it. Because god drat does it finish strong in the hilariously overwrought category, easily the rival of Indigo Prophecy. In fact, I'm going to say four words, just four words, to encapsulate how insane and off the rails B2S gets. You ready?

Is there a reason Dark souls went from every other day to it seems like once a week? Back to back Japan trips seem like the obvious answer but it seemed like from how long it took "know what I mean? Perfect" to catch up with them that they were a month ahead posting schedule.

This is a total guess but is Roland in D4 the doctor who saved David by performing surgery on his gunshot wound? I figured that he was a "giant" because David saw him from on top of a surgical table, and his perspective and drug fumes made him look toweringly tall. They like to show him from a low angle in the game, too. Maybe the surgery he did is related to David's power. That's the first thing that came to my mind when David wondered who he was.

After watching the LP and looking up some stuff online I did genuinely respect how much work they put into the multiple endings and slight/major changes in the game that were put in if main characters are killed off during the main playthrough/Ethan failing some of the tests. That definitely was a shitload of extra work they didn't have to do and could have sidestepped competely if they added a giant GAME OVER screen at every wrong turn. Much, much respect for Heavy Rain for pulling that off, even if their execution there could have been better (hide in the fridge? really?). Everything else about it sucked.

Beyond Two Souls tried none of this, no choices/consequences mattered and it was all a weird, pretentious mess. gently caress Beyond Two Souls. Best part of that LP was the boys' zero hesitation at the suicide attempt off the parking garage :hehe:

Beyond Two Souls was basically Indigo Prophecy 2: Electric Ghost Boogaloo.

EDIT: Also, I felt like clarifying about what I said a few posts above with American culture as viewed by Cage and Swery; the former makes it really boring and drab, Swery likes putting his own spin and it results in diverse and colorful personalities and quirks of the culture and people.

Whoever at microsoft let the game go out and die like that is a goddamned war criminal, SWERY should really reexamine his partnership with microsoft if this is how they're planning on treating his games.

Heavy Rain is the most frustrating of David Cage's games because it's the one with the most potential to be great and it squanders it so hard.
