Invisible werewolf (entirely visible, not actually a wolf)
I had zero interest in For Honor until I learned it's a pretty technical 3D fighter at heart and you can play as female versions of most of the characters. Too bad it's only 30fps on console which is really ehh for anything with high skill ceiling.

It's a technical fighter at heart but most of the techniques can be overlooked for the clearly imbalanced ones with better speed, damage and reach. And 30fps means nothing since nearly everything is deliberately telegraphed for several frames so you can react to it, sometimes with big honking icons just to make sure you don't miss it.

For Honor looks kinda good but I heard it uses peer2peer connections so I'm afraid it'll be full of laggy shitters

2 is relatively good about it too. It gets dire with the handheld games.

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...

I'm playing it on my cousin's PS4 right now and it is very hard. I like using my cartoonishly large mallet to fling people off cliffs.

Are you playing 1 or 2? 2 gives you a sword that makes grinding for drops easier but I don't think 1 gives you anything

The first one, yeah.

Honestly everything about this game is kind of a miserable experience. Would this series have even taken off if it weren't for the Disney and Final Fantasy fan service?

Several frames is understating it. Many attacks have probably 0.5-1 second before you have to react.

It's pretty much like playing a fg where every attack is a dust from gg.

the "hype" for bomberman R may be the saddest thing ever. it a bomberman game made by konami but the switch thread is hyping it up because it the only launch title on the system that is exclusive and not a casual mini game.

A few of the Nintendo die hards seem to be giving the game love, and it honestly because it the only exclusive for the system that is not 1, 2, Switch, the game looks like trash and all of previews look negative.

EDIT: ok maybe my sarcasm meter is broken.

Much like games in general, never buy a console at launch you dimwits.

If you legitimately give a poo poo about a game being exclusive in the year 2017 you're a moran.

The GameCube lineup was pretty good.

Also: seems it's tradition for an entry in a new console generation to launch with a Ridge Racer games.

Yeah, that was really what I meant. And as far as I can tell it's by design since they want newcomers to get into this thing. Unfortunately that means serious players just laugh at it

Bomberman is fun but I would really like to see another game like Bomberman 64 with an adventure campaign. The other N64 ones were just ok in comparison.

Generations was pretty good tho.
