Barudak posted:I cant believe Im saying this but Yu-gi-oh Duel Links for the DS is probably the best single player card game ever made. It has basically one thing Id tweak about it but otherwise is the model for how to design your long running card game into a single player experience. I just busted out my DS from the closet yesterday and have been looking for games to play on it. Which Yu-gi-oh game are you talking about? Duel Links looks to be an ios/android thing.

Stux posted:the difference, the very big difference, is that the batman combat is autopiloting and has no expression. the enemy archetypes are a surprise once and then sit into your normal routine. it rewards doing combat in a single way and anything else isnt just ineffective, it doesnt work. the complex maneuvering in those games is to facillitate offense, and you have actual options and approaches, in fact the entire point of them is to mess around to find pointlessly stylish ways to kill things for the sake of it. batman doesnt have that, its painting by numbers and insanely dull. theres no flair or expression and no avenues for it, and the "flawless offense" is mindnumbingly simple to achieve. it aims to create visually exciting fights through canned animations rather than letting you have an exciting fight. Yeah, I’m just going to assume you haven’t played a Batman game beyond Asylum because to say you have no options is an outright lie. More so than any action game that lets you run away endlessly until you turn around and fight Batman is about analyzing the environment and controlling the crowd. When you’ve got a guy with a stun baton in your face, two separate dudes trying to open gun lockers, and a bruiser between them you’re not painting by numbers. The worst thing in character action games is how many little cheats are used to inflate difficulty. Like I know I’ll hate a game when I maneuver behind an enemy or stun lock them with skillful play and they’ve got some kind of Guilty Gear rear end tech hit or 360 degree AoE attack while soaking damage unperturbed. Like without fail the hardest enemies in every From Software game are the ones that will track you mid-attack and god it sucks so bad.

Arkham combat is fine. Sometimes I just want low depth combat that looks cool where I don't have to think a lot to do well. You have plenty of cool gadgets to vary it up too so you can do a surprising amount of stuff (especially after Asylum). It should have stayed in the Arkham series though because that style of combat really suffers from overexposure since there really isn't much to it.

Just completed: Heaven's Vault. The good: Very nice feel to the learning of language and history intertwined. The depth of the history thus learned is enough to keep my interest throughout. Excellent characterization and music. Worth completing and holds up until the end. The not so good: Gameplay is slow and a bit repetitive. Definitely a game to play in hour-long chunks every so often instead of mainlining. Translation gameplay is *almost* excellent and then gets forced into English syntax. The cat:

I’d just like more action games with aggressive enemies. It seems like a lot of them, even DMCV, have enemies just waiting around waiting to be attacked. Ninja Gaiden is still the best at making you feel like you are winning by the skin of your teeth. Bayonetta with witch time turned off gets there too.

Andrast posted:I wish people would stop calling any combat system with a timing element rhythm games I dunno, I feel like Arkham combat fits the bill because timing with the right button is 90% of it and positioning is nearly irrelevant, any fighting system where you rubber-band up to 5 feet as long as you hit the right button at the right time feels rhythm game-y

Batman combat is legit satisfying and fun. Soulsborne combat is janky as all hell and the satisfaction comes from finishing a combat. Journey vs destination.

Waltzing Along posted:Batman combat is legit satisfying and fun. Cool if you feel this way, but I feel the exact opposite, so we should probably look at this as more a matter of opinion than outright fact. I get satisfaction from dark souls combat, not just "finishing". And I get no satisfaction from slamming through the same guys over and over in batman same way I have already in 10 assassin's creed games. Which is why its good the AC games have tried to grow their combat to be slightly more soulslike and less repetitive. More intentional, deeper controls.

Arkham combat is about crowd control, not about pressing the counter button at the right time. It doesn't have that much depth but there's more to it than that.

Can we all just agree that maxing Lift in ME1 is the most satisfying that combat has been in video game history? Your lying if you disagree. Lifting some poor shmuck into orbit is as good as it gets.

Bayonetta with witch time turned off gets there too. I need to get around to Senior but don’t the enemies in that become more aggressive the more defensive you play? I’ve seen people do extremely well fighting like monkeys while some people just guarding and sidestepping enemies will turn into a tornado of death.

The best way to control the crowd is to press the matching coloured button at the right time. I get what you're saying, and it actually applies to Middle Earth Shadows of War, since they give you the tools, and built the systems to make crowd control fun and intentional. In Batman it's just a simple matter of being overwhelmed slows down progress in finishing a combat encounter so sometimes you need to use a directional button to move outside the magnet-snap dancefloor for a moment.

Duel Links looks to be an ios/android thing. Sorry youre right duelist link is the mobile game, but sadly for you the game Im talking about is for the switch. The name is Yu-gi-oh Evolution of the Duelist: Link Evolution, hence when I probably thought it was Duelist Link. I genuinely want to yell in Hasbro's phone about it because its core concept is what Magic has been loving up for years

I love videogames and I've been playing since I was a wee Childe but I am not actually all that good at them I'd say I'm average to slightly above or below average depending on the genre. I feel kind of ashamed when I see people talking about how easy a boss is when it's a brick wall for me, Capra Demon probably took me like 20 tries when I first met him If I really like a game though I'll invest the time to learn everything, usually FPS games

Combat in batman is both boring to me as well as doesnt click in my brain well and the AI actually controlling batman, max, wei shen, whoever seemingly hates me so they likes to fly off at people I dont want them to and very regularly seems to just whiff attacks which is a super good feeling that I dont certainly hate. I know it really works for some people but Arkham derived combat makes me mentally check out from games.

Playing Asylum atm and combat feels a loooot jankier than it did in City or Knight. Like it's very difficult to chain combos together in free flow, where I remember it being this lovely ballet of action you could pull off. Scarecrow sections still rule
