One difficulty is hit the same button over and over and win the game, and the next difficulty is die in one hit.

There's some depth to the actual combo system, but it's totally unnecessary. The encounter design never evolves.

I bounced off Automata super hard since I tried to play it after Noih, which has really neat combat, and Horizon, which is the prettiest game ever and has pretty cool combat.

Not yet. Supposedly Bayonetta and Vanquish are coming.

Edit: ^ I got really bored with that too. So far I don't like Platinum style action at all.

I'm still convinced we'll get it on PS4 at some point. What else does Sega have going on?

Does Nintendo own the bayonetta ip now, or is that Platinum or Sega? Something tells me we won't be getting that one due to the current situation.

Sega own the ip and ported 1 to PC but Nintendo paid for 2&3 so you won't see those on anything else.

Actually, Uncharted 1 is the current game I'm using to balance the playtime but it's so bland. And I know it gets better with 2 and so on but boy, this is a slog. I checked my save and I'm 73% done with the campaign so next time I'll just play it to the end.

Are there any games that I absolutely must get while the holiday sale is going on? I'm trying to build my library a bit since I don't have too many games for the PS4. I just beat HZD (loved it), I'm pretty decently far into Yakuza 0 and I've been enjoying P5 but that seems like it'll take a while.

Infamous Second Son and its First Light stand-alone DLC are worth a look and should be cheap. Fun, relatively short games.

Uncharted Nathan Drake collection, Uncharted 4, and Lost Legacy are cool and good.

Bloodborne is cool and good

Yakuza Kiwami is less than $30 and is more Yakuza

AC: O if you can get it cheap.

and a proper dodge move. And it's not 5 hours long with very little replay value.

MGR has a dodge move (it's called defensive offense, if I remember correctly) and is very replayable.

It did but I wan't a fan of it. I'd much rather have had a dedicated button. And I would have loved to have seen some challenge mode crap or something. Game just felt super low on content. Then again, I guess Vanquish was pretty low on content too but I was more compelled to play it again.

Awesome! posted:

i guess it depends what you are looking for from your action game. nier's combat is much less technical than something like bayo but it is still fun i think

Totally agree. I think the action is fun as hell (though I had to completely remap the controls), and the rpg elements that are there are incredibly light. It's all brought together by the amazing scenery, music, and genre nods.


Probably my favorite game in an incredible year.

I mean, it's definitely short, but it's pretty replayable. The higher difficulties actually feel meaningful, it's fun to try to S-rank encounters, and I guess it has those VR missions?

And while it would be better if the dodge was an actual button and not something you had to buy (and search for the move list to use), it does have one.

Goddamnit, a QTE final boss with an instakill attack, really loving great.

Also, even on Easy, the cursed enemies killed me with two slashes.

Why the hell did it take so long to give me a pistol with a decent magazine size?

I enjoyed that the game opens and ends on a ship, that was neato.
