second best multiplayer mode in metal warriors: you both get out of your mechs and meet in the middle to fight without suits

best multiplayer mode in metal warriors: the above but you run away before you die and jump in a mech and one-shot the other suitless guy :grin:

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I only ever played Metal Warriors on an emulator and without friends. I think I liked Cybernator more because it had a better HUD and upgradable weapons, but it's been a long time. It sounds like another title to add to my list of mech games I want to be revived for modern consoles (Front Mission, Armored Core, Metal Wolf Chaos).

Or hiding at the top of a long shaft in the flying mech and just dropping on fools when you watch them go in it on their screen.

Lol yes.

I was also a big fan of reverse Joust where you both get into the ufo mech with the dive bomb attack and just try to get above each other.

SLAIN: Back from Hell seems to be pretty fun and good. I honestly haven't played many of this type of game, so maybe it's not good in the genre, but I think it feels really solid. I read about the "update" and it sounds like when it launched it didn't... have any features or mechanics. So yeah, it sounds like it was really lovely. Like, one article I read implied that countering was added in the update. That's like, a core mechanic, so... yeah it would suck without it. I've only read up a little bit on the history of the game, but it was a kickstarted deal, and they were like 10 months behind schedule, so it seems like the launched the very unfinished game to assuage fears that it wasn't going to get made.

It's on sale on PSN for $10 now, normally $15? I think... It's very pretty the gameplay seems pretty solid to me.

Maybe I'll upload some videos, since I've actually beaten some bosses and minibosses so far.

Read the patch notes, pretty much every mechanic was added post-launch.

Yeah, I think releasing when they did was well-intentioned gamble that ended up being PR suicide. I mean, it's not really that different from loads of games touted as "early access", this just wasn't called that, as far as I can tell.

fair.

well it's definitely in the top 2. of the 2 games i can remember that came from 2016

but just in terms of all the games i played this year regardless of what year they came from, AA6 was in my top 10. it'd probably be

1. copy kitty
2. picross 3D 2
3. khimera
4. bleed
5. ace attorney 6
6. wuppo
7. assault android cactus
8. half minute hero 2

The last Castlevania game of that style was what? Order of Ecclesia?* That was nearly ten years ago. It's been way too long IMO.

Now I have an additional interview with another place next Wednesday and I keep getting emails that are like "Thanks for being patient, we're going to have a decision on this position soon" so, like, it feels like there is probably good news on the horizonm but in the meantime there's a lot of hurry up and wait and literally every supervisor I've ever had is almost definitely on vacation now, so references are going to be a real pain in the balls once anybody finally asks for them. Also my wife is sick and my niece has CF so figuring out the holiday just got more complicated.

I would like to thank my Playstation 4 for being a beacon of hope during this difficult time.
