haveblue posted:The best combat in Arkham was the combat that didn't happen because the last guy in the encounter was so terrified that when you popped up in his face he drops his gun and begs for mercy Related: Sparing the war criers in Mad Max is a strategically bad idea, but with a great outcome. Dude just hangs there and chit chats with you awkwardly. (Then you optionally blow his rear end up.  )

bushisms.txt posted:Nah, rising is one of the shallowest combat system they've produced. Astral chain is the new Queen of character action. That doesn't really mean anything. Just because you can't combo enemies for 10 minutes like in DMC doesn't make the game shallow.

bushisms.txt posted:You've yet to state anything other than it's just bad, which cool that's an opinion, maybe add something to it on this here discussion forum, like the post above yours. Like I agree the trimmings of the game aren't great, ie bear riding and sportball whatever, never got the hang of that. But the combat itself was fine, and even good in spots, especially since the fewer enemies made encounters feel more like rival battles, which is usually a peak moment for other PG games. I think they learned a lot from that and put it into a transformers which was a bit more accepted though with obtuse mechanics in it's own right. Like, the combat is functional but that's the best I can say about it. Everything is just really so by the numbers. The mechanics work like you'd expect them to but there is no flair or joy to any of it. The enemies are boring, encounter and level design are both bad, your abilities are most lame, etc. I guess you could glean some hidden depth from it if you really wanted to but why would you when literally everything Korra does is done better by other Platinum games and many of the parts that aren't the combat are just horrible. It also takes too long to unlock everything in a way that is clearly intended for multiple playthroughs but that really sucks with this particular game because I'm absolutely not playing that bland piece of boring again. And all the bosses suck. Andrast fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Feb 9, 2020 |

I liked the first two Batman games, MGR, and didn't like Vanquish or Transformers (it was free, and it wasn't good), and I haven't played any other "character action" games because they all look real dumb or bad imo Ok bye

I already explained in a further post, that's it's suffocating to only have a single weapon at a time in a PlatinumGames game. When I unlocked all the weapons I legit thought, that's it?

I don't think I ever used the other weapons in Revengeance other than to mess around with them just because. The game did not remotely need them in my experience.

When I unlocked all the weapons I legit thought, that's it? I would take the Blade Mode over 10 weapons every time. They absolutely nailed the feeling of the sword on sword combat and only Sekiro comes anywhere near close. I love DMC5 but there's nothing like two hot, vibrating blades of steel touching each other repeatedly. WaltherFeng fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Feb 9, 2020 |

I enjoyed most of the W101 side games. The only ones I absolutely hated were the isometric shooter ones, especially that one that involves the Wii U screen. Oh and there’s one really annoying paragliding section.

I'm playing Resident Evil Remaster HD and I'm reminded how these old games are kind of tricky to juggle as an adult. If I get pulled away from the computer suddenly I can't just quick save or even exit save. Then when I get back and it's bed time I have to play my way to a typewriter or leave the computer on over night. The following work day and then get back to it some 18 hours later. It's funny because the game has a release date of 2015. So I just assumed it was part of the series of remakes that saw Resident evil 2 and 3 completely remade from scratch. But "Resident Evil Remaster HD" kind of plays like rear end (for a 2015 release). I was surprised how true to the original game it was, forklift controls and all. I then found it that it was a reskin of the 2002 gamecube remake of resident evil 1. And the game design made so much more sense. Still having a good time with it though they added a ton of extra items without giving you more inventory space so I find myself running back and forth to the storage chest because I can only fit something like 2 of the 6 quest items I'm juggling in my inventory at the same time. They did give Jill DOA style boob physics for this very release which looks laughably bad. Frekkie Melody fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Feb 9, 2020 |

precision posted:I'm not saying they're wrong for disliking it, I'm saying they're saying things that are, in actual fact, literally incorrect. I liked Arkham City and Asylum a lot. My post about its combat was derogatory and reductionist to express that it wasn't impressive- so I don't know how that turned into a 2 page Amanda Show sketch about someone who takes all words literally. Yes, there are literally more mechanics than hitting prompt reaction, so what? You don't have to be charitable when taking shots at something you didn't think was so good.

Too many people know what a "beat-em-up" is so they had to come up with something else to reflect their rarefied tastes but now belt scroller is more accurately taken to be the style of 2d brawler where the levels continuously scroll (and brawler is a way better word than beat em up)
