Actually it wasn't the dev that wrote the in-your-face dialogue you are talking about; it was this company http://meminsf.silverstringmedia.com/ hopefully the dev takes some of the money he makes from early sales, hires a new writing staff and turns this game into the classic it could be instead of the embarassing footnote it's becoming.

Apparently this game is both pro nazis and pushing the SJW leftists agenda. :lol:

there are still a few really good jokes in future perfect but there are also a few that are really bad or kind of just, there. it's still a decent game though, if not as good of a run n gun fps as timesplitters 2

The only timesplitters 'joke' I remember is a woman telling the main dude she was going to go up a ladder first and he looks at her skirt and says 'okay!'

I sort of wish the variant-heavy party fps, or whatever you want to call goldeneye/PD/Timesplitters would return but admittedly they're a relic these days.

yeah future perfect has a few jokes like that and they're all, extremely unfunny

i hope thq nordic does like a timesplitters remastered trilogy thing cause timesplitters 2 is still legit a really fun game and having m+kb controls and online for it would kick rear end. i'm still upset that microsoft is never going to release perfect dark on pc

You can still do stationary or seated VR, not every PSVR owner has a dedicated room. But yeah, it's not exactly casual. There are only so many houses and lifestyles that allow you to make yourself blind and deaf and wave your arms around wildly for a couple of hours at a time.

Call me a weirdo but I wish Tales stayed 2D and went heavier on fighting game button inputs. The only 3D free run games I've played are Abyss and Hearts R but combat can get really chaotic, you easily lose track of enemies off camera who'll just whip out ultra mega combos and murder people off screen, and I feel like flying enemies lose a tactical advantage because in 2D Tales you had to physically jump over the front ranks and that would open you up to a rear attack if you weren't careful.

Like Tales' lack of invincible frames are why the combat is so intriguing and frustrating. Intriguing because you can effectively stunlock enemies with good timing but frustrating because you'll get what I call Dead Rising bosses who instantly recover and take a guy from 2,000hp to 0 with an un-blockable string of moves.

abyss is one of the weakest 3d combat systems in the series and afaik hearts r isn't a lot better. you should play graces f because it's really the best 3d combat the series has had and it works insanely well

3d tales' bigger problem is that it figured everything out just right with graces f, and then, didn't use that system ever again for like six years and then when it brought it back they made it significantly worse and had to spend a game unfucking the terrible version of it that they'd made. the xillia games inbetween still have like, functional combat systems with some neat new additions... but they're using the same base mechanics as symphonia/abyss/vesperia, even though they just made an entirely new system specifically to evolve the games past that older system

it would be nice if they'd localize tales of destiny director's cut and rebirth though since those games are like the height of what 2d tales managed to do with its core design, to the point that destiny dc heavily informs the mechanics and character variety of graces f and rebirth is just straight-up a wholly unique system for the series that no other tales game attempts to copy

i guess tempest has the three planes system, but.
