Has there ever been a good wuxia action game? I want a game like Nioh but it's based on kung fu and wuxia films and you can wall run and do crazy aerial acrobatics and at some fight you and some other dude play out an entire duel in your imagination

Berserk is a dark fantasy comic that has been in serialization for close to 30 years. While popular, it rather infamously went on a bunch of hiatuses in recent years that resulted in what was initially thought to be a short little arc (the characters got on a boat to go to their main destination) which wound up getting stretched across 10+ years real time.

Anniversary is a remake of TR1 and is one of the best remakes of any game I've played. They pretty much hit all the nostalgia and setpieces right while upgrading the gameplay to not be tepid like the originals.

Absolute truth to this post.

I adore Anniversary. Plus it has not only the best Croft Manor, but the music that goes with it is music that I will just play in the background when I'm working:

I have no idea what the 2 dlc packs are. are they just 2 expansion story missions or do they each give you a ton of little things?

There's two volumes of DLC that have come out so far, with one additional story DLC to come (along with the free one that's coming out relatively soon):

Banned Footage Vol. 1
- Nightmare is a survival mode in the basement of the house, where you have to survive many waves of enemies (uh, and Jack) with lots of traps and weapons at your disposal. You earn scrap metal by killing enemies and running around grabbing it from machines that slowly generate more and use it to craft stuff and upgrade your guns/self. It's super fun.

- Bedroom is a side story where you're trapped in a bedroom that's basically one giant puzzle, and the goal is to solve your way out without getting caught by Marguerite who really really wants to feed you her disgusting zombie chow food. You have to be careful because she occasionally comes back to check on you and will notice if the room has changed, so you need to keep track of what you have and haven't done and learn to solve the puzzle elements quickly to make more progress each time.

- Ethan Must Die is a special randomized gamemode where you have the run of the Baker house and go around exploring every corner, breaking boxes and defeating enemies to gain enough equipment to defeat the Marguerite boss fight in the old house. The game is also set to the hardest difficulty so you die real easy.

Banned Footage Vol. 2
- 21 is a minigame where you're trapped in a room by Lucas and forced to play a game of 21 where you are betting your fingers (and your life) on each round. It's very tense. The catch is that there are only 11 cards, so there's almost no luck element involved and it's more about counting the cards and simple math to figure out what your opponent's hand is, and then using that knowledge to turn the tides. There are also special trump cards that change the game in play like removing cards or upping the bet so the stakes are higher.

- Daughters is another side story where you play as Zoe just before poo poo goes awry for the Bakers. It's pretty short, but it's an interesting little look into the Baker family before they became immortal hillbilly zombies even if that doesn't last for very long. Honestly if this one were standalone I wouldn't pay for it because there's really just not a lot to it and it does bring down the value of Vol 2 a bit.

- Jack's 55th Birthday is another survival mode, ish, where Jack (who is wearing a party hat, clown nose, and novelty sunglasses) is hungry and you must run around several different levels collecting and combining delicious food to feed to him under a time limit. You shoot confetti from your guns and the enemies are all wearing party hats and it's very fun and silly. There's lots of stuff to unlock and lots of replayability.

Nightmare, Ethan Must Die, 21, and Jack's 55th Birthday have a lot of replay value and some goodies to unlock in addition to separate harder modes once you beat them. Overall I can say it was definitely worth the money.

those all sound really fun, I had no idea they were clusters of "alternative" modes. Thanks, I'll probably pick one or both up after I finish the main game!

Not really. It's an average Dynasty Warriors but is severely lacking in content and playable characters. Would you rather play as Rape Ape Who Gets Stabbed In Dick instead of Skull Knight? I bet you would.

Yeah. It's like insanely painfully average + lacking in content both gameplay and plotwise. It isn't bad to play like Ken's Rage but it just feels like they got the license and poo poo out a game as fast as they could. It doesn't even have the goofy crossover content of DWG.

I mean if you really like Berserk you'll have the fun of Guts smashing poo poo with his sword so hard it explodes into body parts but that basically is the selling point for it. Even the Musou mechanics only really seem to fit Guts, the other characters feel less satisfying except the transformed Apostles

Sakurazuka posted:

In general. It's worse than DWG1 in terms of original content and worse than the sequels in terms of *actual* content.

Reminder to everyone that older animals have a harder time getting a home. And usually they have better temperments and in general seem to greatly appreciate having a home and family.
