Didn't Nintendo own the rights to W101? I'm assuming they sold the IP rights back to Platinum for a pittance and a guaranteed Switch port because the Wii U game was such a bomb. God Hand was a similar bomb for Capcom, right?

Camera does indeed seem fine in The Surge 2. Now, stability on the other hand... 3 crashes in the last couple hours. I'd gotten used to how rock-solid - and not-choppy - Sekiro is.

Doesn't sound like it was quite a pittance as Nintendo was going to completely fund a Switch port if the game stayed 100% Nintendo exclusive but Platinum turned them down on it.

XCOM question: Why is my ranger incapable of slicing a flamethrower dude without blowing him up. How hard is it to not cut a giant gas tank?

Weird, I think I may have had a grand total of 1 crash the entire 25+ hrs. What CPU/GPU do you have? i was perfect on a Intel 6700k/1080 TI, but poo poo varies so much. Force Steam to Verify Files? Video drivers up to date? Any overclocking? Someone reported turning off Texture Streaming option fixed it if it persists. Xaris fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Feb 4, 2020 |

So Dragonball Z kakarot has a broken achievement. In fact it's so broken you can get the "Obtain all achievements" achievement without getting it  . After beating the game I still say that unless your a big Dragonball Z fan either don't buy it or just wait for a deep discount. It's pretty mediocre game play wise and some enemies were just a pain to fight.

Nuramor posted:How much of the story does the game cover? All of Z, from Raditz to Buu. Though the adapted story is cut down in spots and then padded out with original content weirdly. I've heard the Android/Cell saga is missing some iconic moments, but I've only gotten as far as the intermission after Freeza.

Despite my gripes with the game, I just really enjoy the world design in Dark Souls 3 and being able to look at the places you'll end up going or have already went. It's a good feeling that provides that sense of place and progression.

Kakarot is definitely a bummer. I'm a sucker for even the most menial DBZ filler plots, so I would love a game that is slavish in re-telling all that stuff. That is, assuming the gameplay is at least mildly entertaining. Stop letting Cyberconnect develop games! They aren't good at it!

Xenoverse 2 was fairly enjoyable to me, so if you just want DBZ stuff, that kind of quasi-RPG might be up your alley if you haven't played it yet.

IShallRiseAgain posted:I just want original dragon ball to get some love. It would be dope to get a dragon ball game but there's just no market reason for it unfortunately. Z (and Super, which is basically just Z+) is still loving massive in Japan. I still remember walking through a Don Quixote in Tokyo and they literally had giant Vegeta's displaying clothes instead of mannequins. People just wouldn't buy a game without Frieza/Cell/Vegeta. Come to think of it, while Dragon Ball had some great storylines it didn't really have much staying power for characters. Most of the OGs have been relegated to buddy status. At least Krillin got to do a thing or two in Super.

 Platformebruary 2020: Ultimate Collector's Edition 1. Blasphemous 2. Duck Souls 3. Dune Sea 4. A Robot Named Fight    In general, I’ve come around to the idea that roguelike metroidvanias are not a good idea. Dead Cells made it work by being extremely light on the metroidvania, and distracting everyone with incredible gameplay. Other attempts I’ve played like Chasm illustrate just how important carefully-designed levels and progression are, because tedious backtracking is always waiting in the wings to kill a platformer. A Robot Named Fight doesn’t really get around this, but has its own distractions in a mess of fun powerups and a tight runtime to make up for the levels. The Megabeast is a moon-sized orb of ravenous flesh, and it has come to devour a planet of peace-loving robots. Rather than succumb to their Junji-Ito-esque fate, one robot has elected to fight. Through the ruins of their once-noble city they must hunt, seeking out artifacts of great and terrible power, while dispatching the vile castoffs of the Megabeast. New powers for their weapon, upgrades for their body, and even new allies will all open up paths that run deeper and deeper beneath the city. In these ancient caverns they may find the power to resist their planet’s doom, but also the truth behind its sudden onslaught. Your task from the onset is simple: defeat the Megabeast. That’s easier said than done with your dinky pea-shooter, though. In true metroidvania fashion you must scour the map for upgrades to make you a godlike, god-killing machine, as well as the upgrades that’ll get you into the places you need to go. It’s also worth mentioning at this point that A Robot Named Fight controls exactly like Super Metroid. This isn’t even homage, this is a carbon copy right down to the tricky wall jumps and top buttons for diagonal aiming. It’s not even a bad thing, considering how long ago Super Metroid was and how many other metroidvanias have gone their own way, but it’s something to be aware of. A Robot Named Fight is not a big game, clocking in at around an hour for a 100% completion run. But that’s where the roguelike elements figure in. Each attempt randomizes the map, enemies, loot, and even powerup progression, pulling from a frankly massive pool of possibilities. For one run you might need a flamethrower to reach the double-jump so you can get spider mode, and in the next it could be the dash power unlocking the light armor so you can find the missiles. There’s even variety among similar powers, allowing runs to include high jumps, double jumps, float jumps, or infinite jumps which all accomplish roughly the same ends. One time all my powers ended up being status effects on my main weapon, so instead of finding missiles or flamethrowers I had burning, explosive shots all the time. The overall progression of a run is pretty constant at first, leading you through the same general areas but with different powers. Finding certain areas or notching a win unlocks new regions you can progress through, with their own enemies and access powers. There are secrets sprinkled throughout too, all passive upgrades to your stats, and all marked roughly on your map so you don’t have to spend ages scouring for completion. What’ll end up taking the most time is backtracking, because metroidvania map generation still seems to be a sticking point for roguelikes. Odd placement of locked doors or twisting corridors can waste your time while exploring, backtracking is guaranteed because of random powerup placement, and the fast travel nodes are borderline useless for all of the above. Honestly though, A Robot Named Fight has enough going for it to overlook the weaknesses of the map. The controls are tight, the action is engaging, and the absurd number of variations and unlocks you can get really extend the life of the experience. Story-wise it doesn’t seem like you really beat the game until several runs into it, and there are even some neat twists to discover in the environments. The pixel art presentation is very solid, though a lot of the detail is tied up in the grotesque, bloody depictions of the Megabeast’s kin. There aren’t many options for what’s essentially a Super Metroid randomizer though, so if you’re cool with the map and the gore, you’re getting a unique, satisfying experience here.

The Fanatical Hidden Gems 8 bundle is up and has some pretty interesting stuff for the $2.49 price tag: https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/hidden-gems-8-bundle The Hex, Double Cross, and In Celebration of Violence would be a good enough deal on their own, with my usual caveat of "I love ICoV but it definitely isn't everyone's cup of tea."

I didn't really like the recent King's Bounty's a lot, they were just way too much into the whole "I'm funny and genre-savvy" without actually being all that funny. Maybe they'll do better trying to play it straight, because I do enjoy the concept of a HoMM-style game without the strategy layer.

God Hand was a similar bomb for Capcom, right? Godhand, Okami etc were done as a subset of Capcom they really have no rights. That said they apparently have mended bridges with Capcom (Platinum spun off a subcompany to help with REmake 2) so like. Them working out a deal to handle remasters/sequels for Capcom is much more likely than it was a couple of years ago. I wouldnt bet on it, but if Viewtfiul Joe or Godhand show up I wouldn't be absolutely shocked.
