There's also Transformers and Korra. You can skip Korra unless you really, really like Korra and platinum games.

Do you feel it, Zach?
My coffee warned me about it.


I heard that their Transformers is pretty rad and true to the animated show. It's also short if you just plan on playing it once but has a lot of replay value.

new ps4 mandated to be fully compatible according to rumors. no "project neo" (lol) only games allowed.
games to ship with 2 sets of display settings. probably gonna not be worth it for a while unless you have a 4k tv or have to have a stable 30 fps (cause i bet you aren't going to get 60 on there in most AAA games when devs can just make it prettier and smoother and call it a day considering both units are going to be in the same mp matches and that would lead to much whining im sure)

So it just seems like its ps4 version of the xbox elite except it works for 4k tv's better. seems kinda pointless.

Transformers is really good, some issues with them trying to put in a equipment system but it's minor gripes.

That said it's €40 while MGR is like €20 so i'd dive into MGR first.

You'll suck at Platinum games!

Just try to ignore the game treating you like trash when you don't get Pure Platinum/S rankings and you're fine.

They're a lot more friendly to garbo players, but I would still say they're kinda tough for newcomers

MGR is probably one of the less beginner friendly games though since a lot of beginners seemed to struggle with stuff in it so you might still have some difficulty

I like it the most out of all their games tho and highly recommend it

Bayonetta is the most like Devil May Cry out of any of the platinum titles. The other titles have their own feel that may or may not be easier to get into.

The game does a really bad job of explaining it, which is weird because it's the most important mechanic.

I mean I watched a lot of gameplay vids before the game came out so I guess it just came to me how to do it and I never actually read how the game described it, but I picked it up super quickly

I've also been playing games like this sonce DMC3 came out so I might be more savvy than most people wrt to this stuff

Yeah, MGR has many strengths, but explaining certain mechanics to newcomers to the genre is not one of them.

Requiring players to manually unlock the dodging mechanism after the prologue level is also a pretty weird decision.

Golden Goat
Aug 2, 2012

Yeah I think i'm forgetting that Parry and Zandatsu's are in the center of the combat mechanics of that game so there is a slight learning curve. It's not too bad though.

Just if you're playing and the parry doesn't click for you try taking a look at the BeforeIPlay writeup for the game.

I think that was so they'd focus on the Parry mechanic over the dodge.

It's worse in W101 with putting the defensive stuff as purchasable cause they're super required.

Once you know it's really simple, yeah. But this is how the game tells you:

At its best Evil Within is alright, it's not an amazing game and is really sketchy in a lot of places in terms of optimization and just being really unfun for long periods of time

The game does a good job with its atmosphere tho, it just kinda also doesn't know when to chill the hell out about it

King's Bounty: The Legend

It's pretty fun, tho I've never beaten it. Kinda janky, but charming enough. I am glad that easter egg exists.

I wish Dark Side was cheaper tho. I know they've been making the same game just with different plots and poo poo for a while now and the latter games haven't been received as well as the earlier ones like Armored Princess and The Legend but I still would like to try Dark Side some day.

fake edit: oh I thought dark side was 10 bucks, turns out it is just 4 bucks. oh well, still too rich for me but that's a lot more reasonable

Dark Side is pretty good and its a lot better than the vikings one
