What's so impressive about this game anyway?How could it be better than modern games like God of War Ragnarök?
>>722646646Its not >B..but my jewtuber said...If it was so great then why gamers didn't bought it back then?
Mogged by Party Babyz
>>722646937Its funny how gaymen shit on game journalist but refuse to buy their "beloved" games, i still remember back then people said game looks outdated and clunky
>>722646646I tried it for a few hours. loved joe and okami so thought I would love this too. but everything about the game was extremely unappealing so I dropped it.
>>722646646I can bet that if they make another godhand today it will flop once again
>>722646646>Funny, well written characters>Batshit insane scenarios>Very flexible combo system that grows with you>Juggling was pretty much unheard ofIt's a bit clunky but what it sets out to do, it does very well. It doesn't take itself too seriously and God knows we need more games that don't take themselves too seriously.
>>722647427Godhand cannot exist in the current cultural climate. 2006 was the beginning of the end for culture.
honestly if i was gonna be an indiedev biting an old game it'd be this one. it's pretty damn nice overall for just letting you beat on people without any gap. it's like barehanded ninja gaiden black.
Game always felt way too hard. Was I meant to grind the levels or something?
>>722647503>>Juggling was pretty much unheard ofwhat the fuck are you talking about? Fighting Games had juggling long before 06 man, and even outside of fighting games and stuff released on the very same console, we had DMC1, 3 and God of War 1 on the PS2. not the mention the countless other games that had it outside of the biggest action games
>>722647772naw it's just that the difficulty increase from levels 2 to 3 was really big which could screw you over if you couldn't hang and didn't want to choose easy, which locks the dynamic difficulty meter to levels 1 and 2.
>>722646646Warning to 30+ ojisans wanting to play this game. It will rape your fingerbones from all the mashing it still hurts
>>722647772You're meant to wall kick loop every enemy
>>722646646it was a (nearly) perfected 3d beat em up following in the footsteps of final fight. with it's only flaw being they had to adapt it for console instead of arcade
>>722646646>more enemy variety>better combat system >much higher skill floor and ceiling>way more creative attacks and specials>no cooldown shit for special attacks >no annoying RPG elements>silly tone rather than "we must better men"
>>722646646op is a fagHere's a better question: what is the biggest problem with god hand, and why is it the atrocious camera? How would you fix it?
>>722649173Copy the nu God of War camera unironically.
>>722646937i fucking KNEEL
>How could it be better than modern games like God of War Ragnarök?troll thread?
>>722649173>what is the biggest problemhow long it is. i just wanna 1cc stuff now. a multiple hour game just doesn't cut it anymore. also the way counter hit works is kinda wonky. >the camerathe camera is completely fine.
>>722646646it's fun
>>722649173The bosses suck
>>722649334Your mom sucks.
>>722646646The "make your own combo" feature is probably the best feature. Does any other action game have a similar feature?I don't think this game is THAT good though, it's pretty rough around the edges. I still enjoy it but it's not even close to being the best action game ever.
>>722648319Didn't happen to me when I played it last year on hardYou're just weak
>>722647828>DMC1, 3 and God of War 1Those games copied godhands juggle mechanic.
>>722646646So... sequel?
>>722649236>how long it is. i just wanna 1cc stuff now5 hours is not long, and nobody cares about your mental illness.
>>722646646back in its time, on the ps2, it was sick as fuck.me and a friend played all the way through on a school summer, we thought that the Gene-VS-Devil Hand fight was one of the coolest things we had ever seen and quoted the jokes constantly
God Hand fans have never played the game
Best song?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeLzkTKBdTM
>>722649538>nobody cares about your mental illness. lack of time really should be considered a mental illness honestly.
>>722649538Weirdly defensive post
>>722649435>Does any other action game have a similar feature?Stranger of paradise
What was the better opener, jab or straight? Straight seemed to come out a bit faster so that's what I always used but people say jab is still better for some reason.
>>722649435>Does any other action game have a similar featureRemember Me has that but no one played or even remembers that game
>>722650018On top of this I should add that stranger allows you to cancel your combo mid animation to lead into an entirely different combo string or into a block/parry/soul shield with different combo contexts opening up depending on what weapons you use, e.g. a greatsword having a perfect guard that upon activating leads into it's own distinct combo (that you can customize)
>>722646886Holy ESL. Also, a game selling poorly doesn't equate to its lack of quality.
>>722646646>jeez this game is too hard>better shitpost on /v/ because I suck at this game
>>722649521DMC1 & 3 that got released before God Hand which development started not long after DMC 3 release?
>>722650018oh Jack's game, it's on my backlog, I'll play it at some point>>722650158I've heard the name and I thought that game is some kind of story/walking simulator like Life is Strange or something like that
The attack and dodge systems are really expressive and fun to work with, but using them can feel really jank until you get used to it. Thing is I don't know how I could fix it, the way the dodging works almost requires the shit tank controls the way the game has them. Could have a modifier button that gives you full movement and camera control while you're holding it, but I imagine you'd just eat shit while moving around by not letting go of the modifier fast enough to give access to dodges again.
>>722650471I wish the sidestep was more useful besides animation canceling the yes man kablaam.
>>722650625it's the second most useful evade option you have
>>722646646It's got a sense of humor, plus there are several homages to anime, Western films like Austin Powers and Spaghetti Westerns.
>>722650697I never had much luck with it but I'll admit I'm no expert. The backflip's got iframes for days for the 10% of attacks the standard dodge won't work on.
>>722650763that ending credits is pure sovlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFSen7DRQWU
>>722650421you should be aware it runs like shit and is one of the worst optimized games in modern memory>64MB total basic bat enemy>loaded in its entirety >in a group
>>722650895anon the game has horizontal and vertical enemy attacks what do you mean you never managed to make it work
>>722649435tales of beseria but its like 4 dial-a-combos you build that you swap between based on count of the overall combo string you are on. it wasnt very fun, more restrictive than broadening.
>>722650948Ball buster is kinda hard to use on women in this game, dunno why.
>>722647524The decline really started when Schreier called Dragon's Crown's Sorceress a "lolita" in 2013. Basically all downhill from there.
>>722650372Yes.
>>722651040Sometimes they'd hit anyways because I was too close. Backflip was always safe.
People who play character action games have some really funny ideas about how this game works but it's actually just a really technical and well made beat em up and it's unlikely they could understand why being able to slam a boss into a wall 20 times in a good thing.
>>722651226backflip is basically a "shit i fucked up and have to retreat" option, you should use it as little as possible. with dodges and sidesteps, you can continue attacking right after evading.
I like that I don't have to worry about weapon switching autism like in DMC. God Hand was pretty much perfect for me, mostly about reaction time than memorizing button combinations. The only thing I think it could have done better is a lot of time it feels like the optimal strategy is to just run around in a circle then dive kick dudes.
>>722646646It's fun but has several flaws. The rank system sucks and the custom combo building is just a gimmick.
>>722647503>nip game>well written characters doubt it
>>722651539i dont know about gimmick. its a sound strategy. the better you are, the harder it gets to match you. keep the pace of the challenge actively organic rather than it simply being a button in the settings page.
>>722651539It's just the same adaptive difficulty in RE4.
>>722651776>>722651778I don't like that it forces you to metagame (instead of simply enjoying pummeling punks), you have to take the occasional hit to manage rank, so it won't get to level DIE.
>>722651913The game is totally manageable on die, a lot of stuff you can just outright ignore
>>722651913The game's level of flexibility is pretty good.You can grovel too. Not to mention the Dead Pan if you're playing the NTSC-J version of the game.https://youtu.be/QgJYvksCvws
>>722646646I only beat the game on normal, its pretty hard but the flow when you master a segment is very satisfying. Thought that crowd control was impossible in the later stages and then I watched one combo video and realised I never used that built in heel drop to start juggles once.
The only thing about the game I don't like is a lot of the moves kinda suck, especially the multi-hit ones since you're just begging to get block-punished. That and using the various baked-in moves that let you juggle is pretty cumbersome.
>>722651776it's a neat idea but the difficulty scaling is fucking awful and every difficulty below DIE utterly fails at teaching you to use counter hits.Also multihits tank the rank too much>>722652080The axe kick on DIE is kinda unreliable cuz downed enemies will roll out most of the time. You can chase the roll but during that time all the other dudes will gang up on your ass.
The big issue is that difficulty selection effectively does nothing. If it actually helped the player (like Easy mode giving a flat defense upgrade or damage boost) then I think that the game would have a far more positive reputation instead of just being Youtube essay bait.
>>722646886It's "didn't buyed", or "boughtedn't", esl-kun
>>722646646>What's so impressive about this game anyway? the cover art lol
>>722651059The abilities are supposed to be situational tools. Like you can kite enemies across the map then throw a projectile at at like 10 at once and one shot them all. This game isn't about combos at all, it's a routing game with some really basic looping for damage... like a beat em up.
>>722646646There's nothing particularly impressive about it, it's just a game that Devil May Cry/Ninja Gaiden Black fans praise for being a hard game. It otherwise doesn't feel very good to control, due to how it's combat functions far differently than a lot of games. It's kind of why that IGN reviewer was clueless and scored it badly because he didn't know how the hell to play it. He sure did review it wrong, no doubt about that though. Just inexperienced and didn't understand it. That doesn't make it particularly impressive unless you're just interested in some hybrid arcade brawler combo masher game. It's the kind of game that could have gotten away with being in a real arcade cabinet and stole peoples quarters if Capcom had been smart about it instead of releasing it on console.
>>722653251>due to how it's combat functions far differently than a lot of gamesThis is a positive, different games should not feel universally the same
>>722646646Kek thread. God of war opening cutscene is longer than the whole god hand game. God of war is modern trash for lowiq niggers and american leadbrains
>>722649435>Does any other action game have a similar feature?Baldr Sky
>be better
