Yakuza is also leagues above Senran Kagura though

Different genres. The comparison will be valid when Yakuza has fights against big rear end demons, super attacks and female protagonists.

Also despite how elaborate the animations for the characters are, if you see all the released videos in a sequence you'll notice how every single character is doing the same basic attack string (the only truly different is Nicole witht the wall hopping but that is dragged down by the game's speed and utterly vegetative enemies)

If it weren't for the short bit about Nicole, you could literally copy-paste this to refer to Senran Kagura and it would be accurate so I dunno, buddy.

It applies to the versus games but not for Deep Crimson Deep Crimson is a LOT faster than either EV or Uppers and the characters have well defined and distinctive movesets with especific propierties and combo options. Enemies in Deep Crimson are also a lot more aggresive than the potato sacks Uppers has shown. Even Bhikkhuni's enemies are more aggresive (and those barely make a dent on your character's health)

That Uppers video does look like it's playing in slo-mo at some points.

Yakuza is leagues ahead than anything Uppers can offer and that is one of my issues with it. Yakuza exists so why bother with Uppers at all?

GTA exists, so why bother with Saint's Row at all?

Final Fantasy exists, so why bother with Chrono Trigger at all?

Do you see why this is a very stupid opinion to have, particularly about a game that is not yet finished, and that you haven't played?

I... uhh... again, I like SK too man, but... have you played them lately? I'll give you 'speed' but 'same basic attack string' and 'utterly vegetative enemies'... c'mon man

D_T is a very discerning individual who doesn't even like the Vita Senran Kaguras. He is quite hard to please.

Yes... although he likes Valkyrie Drive Bhikkuni which is basically identical to the Vita SK games, except with even more generic character designs. I wonder what the common elements are that make D_T able to overlook the... oh it's boobs, isn't it

Hold that pose.
I've gotta get something.
I feel like the Uppers demos are being played slower than they might be naturally to show off the specific moves they're trying to show off. Maybe once there's some gameplay videos from actual players or reviewers, we can see whether these videos are fully representative of the game's speed.

I want to play it regardless, because I personally think it looks great.

This is a terrible argument mate. Chrono Trigger is pretty much hands down better than any final fantasy game ever made with maybe the exceptions of 3/6.

Likewise Saint's Row does the open world sandbox formula so much better than GTA. Even in terms of plot. The later GTA games are dumb games that pretend to be smart, and SR are smart game's that pretend to be dumb.

I googled Senran Kagura, and I saw this. :nws:http://i.imgur.com/GKYd1Zn.png:nws:. Yeah, very, very, different genres.


Takoluka posted:

What? It had a great plot, interesting characters, one of the most memorable villains (Ultros best girl) in the FF franchise that's not XxXEdgeLordXxX. The combat was fun and each character had a unique combat style/resources. It's probably the only FF game that managed to get everything right.

Xenogears was by far my fave Square game as a youth. If it wasn't so goddamned ugly (even for the time) I would probably play it again. I definitely liked it more than FF3(6) and Chrono Trigger. It's probably not as good as I remember though. I've also never liked any other Xeno* games.
