>revive it>kill it againThanks a lot, assholes. I was actually looking forward to this.
I can't name a single good beat em up game
>>724224529I knew it sucks the second I saw that horrible art style in the first trailer
What's the appeal of this genre? I tried playing a bunch of them for the NES and SNES because that's when it peak and I couldn't understand why these were popular. You don't learn any new movesets, there is no progression and combat is shallow. Gets boring after 2-3 levels. Just the same thing over and over.
>>724224529Hasn't Double Dragon gotten like 5 "revivals" already?
>>724224529>Kill it againLol no, it's just a shitty cash grab, pic related soon and Absolum just released
>>724224689Yes. With Gaiden being the absolute best.
>4/10that bad, huh?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPZ39qzsJ3U
>>724224778Double dragons only good games are the NES onesJust play Kunio games instead
>>724224667The best beat-em-up I've ever played was unironically the extra mode in Tekken 3. I sunk so many hours into that as a kid.
>>724224879Play Urban Reign
>>724224529How was streets of rage 4?
>>724225202Fucking greatThey also just released Absolum, two banger beatemups from those devs
>Still hasnt been topped
>>724225553But it did.
>>724225553>how Japanese high school students look according to Americans
>>724224756>marvel cosmic invasion>not a low effort cashgrabAnd absolum is a shitty rougelike with a beatem up component shoved into it. They're all gutter trash
>>724225362Absolum sucks.
>>724224823>Talks of things you never see in the video.Couldn't have dedicated half a minute with the other characters? To show how uninteresting are the levels?I'm not even sure if the game really has long stages and few enemies because most of the video is getting cuts every twenty seconds and him failing to evade attacks and hazards cut after cut.That video is shit at showing what he says.Is the game bad? or a I suck at running in Sonic Lost Words review?
>>724225658You have no taste, not surprisingTell me, do you even actually play games?I bet you don't even play this games with a mate>>724225685another one just regurgitating posts from this site
>>724224529>YUKESWhat did you expect?
>>724225737You're not getting paid enough to run your little shill operation on 4chan of all places you silly little troon.
>>724224529I prefer fantasy and to a lesser extent scifi beat-em-ups.
>>724225821LMAO, OKJust believe tortanic fags when they post dumb shit then
>>724224529Play Absolum, dumb motherfucker>inb4 "woke"then just keep shitting and pissing yourself in a hissy fit
>>724226008Absolum is really great for 10h, really good for like 16-20h and then it kinda loses a lot. But thats already a lot for a beat'em up
playing them in arcades was all about the experience you get from the sound production to the simple minded gameplay that ate your quartersplaying them on console or at home at all probably isn't as engaging because they were made for the arcadeswhen you port a game like that to home consoles you have to add a little more or change something up, though you should always leave the option for original gameplay and aesthetics in there somewhere like kof2k2um has the neogeo mode for the original kof2k2
>>724226345Nah, you just need a friend to play them withThe cabinet is great, but playing with someone makes it great
>dont like the modern day rpg or rogue elements>never liked the excessive combo/juggling/wall bounce stuff they brought over from fighting gamesThank fuck they made a million of these in the heyday or I wouldnt get to play much at all. Vengance Hunters worked for me but thats all that comes to mind. Need to take a proper look at fallen city as well.
>>724226391if it's the arcades, that just comes with the environmentbut it'll never match the arcade experience with the bass boosting in your face and all the ambient noise of the arcade life itselfit just felt and hit different and that's from personal experienceand that's from me saying one of my favorite games is the first tmnt arcade game, the soundtrack pumping from the arcade cab in an arcade environment just has that oomf that isn't as felt at homelike the sound production in that game really lent to the experience for me in that game
>>724226673Agree to disagree on thatI liked both playing in arcades and homeBut home with friends is vastly superiorI'm sure you can get a similar experience by going to an arcade bar now
>>724224602Fighting Force
>>724225362absolum is woke garbage
>>724225658Which game are the sprites on the right from? MvC2? The game that shamelessly lifted sprites from other Capcom fighters leading to clashing art styles and lack of cohesion?
>>724227237>>724227247Man, what happened to /v/
>>724227779dilate, trannyabsolum is made by woke leftists
>>724227925Pirate it and try it out
Any games similar to this one, yet?

>>724228642Absolum
>>724226008>>724228860>>724226295Desperate fucking faggots, shut the fuck up already. You're game is fucking nasty quit comparing it to better releases.
>>724228642Atlus needs to force VW to put this on PC already.
>>724229171You could probably just emulate the PS3 version
>>724229171Atlus is weird. Some games are on pc while others arent.
>Absolum sucksYou didnt play it.
>>724228993name a better beat them up. in fact, just name one (1) game touristy niggerfaggot.
>>724225717 (me)https://youtu.be/oS325uNjucIThe review is about how much the reviewer sucks.That said, the stages are pretty long. It takes the player almost one hour to beat fours stages.

>>724224529Go play Fight'n Rage>>724229879Not him but Fight'n Rage
Bought this one recently, where should I start with as a beginner?
>>724228642people from Vanillaware would rather burn their life savings and take a dump on it as their family are crying over the ashes of their future than port any of their games to pc
>>724230238Final fight.
>>724225658Now compare the number of characters in the fighting games (that only have playable characters or bosses) to the beat em' up that has countless of enemies and environments that are more than backdrops.
>>724230254I hope they at least rerelease it for switch, but I know that won’t happen
>>724230393Anon, it’s a trollThat webm was made with good intentions and that anon is using it to hate
>>724224529>Using IGN>Using the critic scoreNo dude. I ain't taking IGN seriously when it comes to critics.I will wait once user scores come in.
>>724224756>AbsolumI just can't with the art style of that game. I'm so over ugly women in vidya.
>>724230543I mean, you only have to look at the graphics to know it’s kusoge anon
>>724230646just play the chad dward, he is the most fun anyway
>>724230718>giant pregnant black woman every time you start a new run
>>724230646I think the only ugly woman is the goblinGranted there aren’t hot women either, just some meh womenIt’s a shame because the game is still great, maybe someone will mod the sprites a bit
>>724230754I haven’t beaten it yet but she’s clearly the bad guy
>>724230254Is Vanillaware ran by really really old boomers or something?
>>724230820She's not
>>724231012Who else is ugly?
>>724230820>It’s a shame because the game is still great, maybe someone will mod the sprites a bitIs it on the same engine as SoR4? Because modding sprites in that game is very easy, it's just also super cumbersome since there's so many frames of animation.
>>724231119I dunno, I doubt it thoughThey also need to ad 120fps mode
Has anyone tried SoR4 reignited mod?
>>724230976I think kamitani is in his 50s, so not that old
>>724224529>made by YUKESNah bro, I'm good.
>>724225658>Absolum's the ebst Beat-'em-Up in the past decade>Refuse to play it for petty reasonsYou deserve misery, and devs should never pander to retards like you.
>>724231726Highly doubt it's better than SoR4 or Fight n Rage.
>>724224756there is 2D like sand on the beach 3d beat-em-ups are way harder to make and there hasnt been anything since Sifu
>>724231726what's petty is intentionally making the designs ugly and "non-sexualized"
>>724231770It's made by the SoR4 devs anonIt also has a Mick Gordon track on the first boss
>>724224756>dotemu slopkeep it
>>724231974I think 3D beatemups are just not the single genre anymore and turned into games like BamHam
>>724231996>It's made by the SoR4 devs anonDoesn't mean that it's better.>It also has a Mick Gordon track on the first bossCool. But Berserk 2016 also had an amazing OST and that anime was absolute dogshit.
>>724230820thats your emasculated standards speaking from 10 years of leftoid social construction ugly is ugly
>arguing with boomers that just theoryboar in 2025kek
>>724231996It actually sounds bad wtfhttps://youtu.be/yShiPI-gPeA?si=Xqizid4A0XZiBDgB
>>724225658I love how this isn't even cherrypicked to make cosmic invasion look bad because the twitterfaggot who made this video posted it in earnest like "wow, like how good the new game looks guys!" and everyone started saying it looks so much worse lel
>>724232103>ugly is uglyI agree, but to not think there are things that aren't either is moronic
>>724224667You posted one that actually has good combat.
are we hyped about Spine or no ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZbHDdd5drAi think it looks neat. except the heavy handed signaling of the attacks with this huge red effect + line of bullet beam
>>724224529Just wait for the Double Dragon: Re-Revived Super Turbo Championship edition.
>>724232206If you say soDo you think this is also bad?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpqct1zMqTE
>>724232219compare absolum designs to any beat em up from the 90s and kill yourself
>>724232312I feel like you just can't comprehend what I'm saying, though it's not surprising
>>724232213It's sad that it doesn't look as good but I also wasn't expecting it to, to be honest. Old Capcom fighters were the gold standards of animation.
>>724232308Nah that one sounds great
>>724232206Mick is shamelessly overrated. Killer Instinct was great but the Doom OST was just noise.
>>724226008Absolum>rogue like>shitty artstyle>bland boring looking charactersHow about kys fagot shill
>>724232453Holy based. Finally someone who shares my opinion, KI was Gordon's magnum opus.
absolum has tranny artstyle
>>724231770It isn't and I don't even feel that strongly about Fight 'n' Rage. Absolum is okay but it's being oversold to hell and back, it's as if Guard Crush's primary takeaways from SOR 4 were >how can we drag everything about this out as much as possibleand>why don't we make everyone play pretty much identicallyNumbers-wise, it receiving pretty much the same reception as SOR 4 gives me the same feeling as when any given new, throwaway film debuts with comparable reception to Stalker or Lawrence of Arabia or something, except with fewer thoughts of "nobody actually thinks this" because its fantasy setting (as dour as it is) among other things does lend it somewhat of an appeal distinct from SOR 4.
>Absolum threadBased. It is the best beat-em-up since TMNT.
>>724233516>me the same feeling as when any given new, throwaway film debuts with comparable reception to Stalker or Lawrence of Arabia or somethingIt's called recency bias. It's the same reason why recent top 100 games / anime / movies of all time have mostly new media in them.
>>724226008Not playing your repulsive looking trash.Here's a tip for you, make your art appealing and you might get people interested.
The only good parts of Double Dragon were the platforming. The beat 'em up portions were always dull.
>>724236738Filtered
>>724224756Demo for this hurt my excitement, the actual offensive mechanics are really fun and open-ended but every enemy is dumb as rocks or massively overcompensating with giant projectiles or multi-hit armor (and not only does most of the cast not have the ability to grab/throw, the demo's bosses auto-break grabs).
>>724224529Shoulda been neon 2
>>724236839I agree with this. That said, Cap played like the Warrior and Hunter from AVP and I thought that was really cool.
The current group who likes beat em ups don't like actual beat em ups. They want things more like castle crashers, not classic arcade design. So for me personally it's better to just bin the whole genre for now. Anyone who likes SoR4 is a complete retard.
>>724225658>A fighting has more detailed sprites than a beat-em-up who'd a thunk it?No shit, there are more sprites including all enemy types, a smaller player moves set so less time animating each character and more level design to worry about. The priorities of the devs are different. You're comparing apples to oranges.
>>724237067How about I think that you're a retardI like SoR4 and 2 and Absolum and Growl
>>724236839>>724237065>Retards still think demos are reflective of the final productThey will obviously tweak things before release.
>>724237291Nigger the game is less than a month away from release. It's not going to change fundamentally anymore.
>>724237351Yes it will.
>>724237351Depends, whens the demo from?
>>724230171I didn't like it. It didn't even have a grapple button.
>>724237291Of course it could change but to give enemies better pathing and aggression would take longer than the demo to release period unless it was already underway before the demo release or already implemented in a harder difficulty. If we discover the demo was locked to Easy or something, I'd be way more comfortable with it.
>>724237513Ok shill.>>724237594Less than a month old.
>>724225553>He didn't play pussy city pimps
>>724237660>Less than a month old.Right, but is it the demo that people played at EVO months ago?
>>724237706No idea, didn't even know it had a demo. But might not have been because She-Hulk (who has a horrible design btw and they should've just added actual Hulk) wasn't in the initial reveal but she's in this demo.
>>724237660Get mad.
>>724225202I have, I heavily enjoyed the revamped moveset for Blaze and Adam, haven't tried the others. Didn't enjoy Mania+ in vanilla, but the new enemy types in stages actually did make it more difficult, yet fresh. I might be spoiled from SoR remake, but SoR4 needed a cheat menu, just to mess around with.
>>724234207>4 badass dudes as the playable charactersWhy does /v/ hate this?
>>724237947Middle with the huge nose and bottom right are "women".
>>724231974>>724232071In 3D, your beat 'em often turns into something else.Too much "beat"? Character action game, like DMC or Bayonetta.Too much "'em""? Bam, Musou game.Too much "up"? You got yourself an adventure action game, something like Zelda or Bam Ham.
>>724237947umm chudie.. The MC is an ex-prostitute who is tired of being picked on since she's an independent woman and the masked rogue is also a powerful woman.
>>724224529dragons crown was unironically the best time i had during the ps3 era
>>724230646>>724232103Just jack off before you play games
>>724238030>>724238106Oh...
>>724238106Isn’t the rogue a literal puppet?
>>724238057No. 3D beat'em-ups like God hand, Urban reign, even Tekken Force.
>>724237067Contrarian retard
>>724238214Could you do me a favor and re-read my post? Like all the words?
>>724238208A female puppet.
they revive DD like three times a year.
>>724238208Puppet with a female voice.
>>724238264None of the games mentioned in >>724238214 can be shoved in any of the subgenres you mentioned.
>>724238269>>724238309Right, but the puppet has an ass
>>724224848I heard that DD Advance was pretty good.
>>724238409and thighs
>>724238426Good is a stretchJust use multiplayer romhacks and replay the NES games
>>724224529Maybe don't make woke garbage you reddit zoomer fuck
>>724238494It’s probably just the main sword user that needs some tits or something
>>724238368You didn't do what I asked you to do. Lazy, lazy poster. What does>oftenmean?
>>724224667Think of the fighting game, but move away from one on one, and it's you and your bros against the world. Simplified, casual moveset that doesn't need labs or shit like that. If your a FGC type who knows frame data instinctively, this shit will be way too easy.
>>724238607She's intentionally like that since she doesnt want to be a whole anymore.
>>724238368>>724238214Anon, he said that 3d games that aren't tuned specifically to be beat-em-ups end up as something else, not that 3d beat-em-ups don't exist.
>>724224689Do you count the fighting games? If so, far more. Definitely uneven as hell across the franchise.
Do people even remember the last DD revival in 2023? Or the one in 2017, or the one in 2012?At a certain point you're not "bringing it back". You're just shitting out low effort slop.
>>724238661A whole what?
>>724225202Solid. Like my erection after seeing blaze in action. >>724225553Have you even bothered to play the other Kunio kun games?
>>724224529I'm playing code of princess in my 3ds.The game is meh, but Solange's tits are nice.
>>724226008What's worthwhile about it?
I actually like the new Double Dragon. Doesnt explain most of its own mechanics but it has a punch out style system that allows you to interrupt most enemy attacks for one hit kos. The game is fun.
>>724226673That depends a little on your arcade. My arcade is a Round one, or D+B so it's kind of a sterile environment, and my choices are TMNT or Minecraft arcade.
>>724238839>Have you even bothered to play the other Kunio kun games?They're all worse than RCRt. nta
>>724227779Have you played the damm thing?
>>724230238Refund it and get the Capcom Arcade stadium 1+2 bundles.Those contain all the games in the beat em up collection, plus tons more arcade games from a variety of genres, better emulation, better UI, more options (difficulty, rewinds, game speed adjustment), and challenge modes.But if you’re content with that collection, then start with Final Fight or Captain Commando, both are excellent and simple so you appreciate how later Capcom games build from their fundamentals.Battle Circuit is my favorite game there.
>>724226008I 'm not really bothered by the designs, but when devs come out and say in plain English "we're trying to be BETTER than the OLD BAD things that you love by making things uglier on purpose", I don't care for it. How do you claim to be inspired by beat 'em ups and then say that having pretty girls or buff dudes is bad? How can you compare yourself to Dragon's Crown and then shame a little cheesecake?
You guys are such fucking losers. "Absolum is woke" its a fucking beatem up you socially maladjusted losers. /pol/ has destroyed what little is left of your peanut brain
Why are the GCJ troons defending Absolum so much.Even if people wanted to try it, you're sure as shit not convincing anyone by acting like this.
>>724238793whore*
Legitimately don’t understand the Absolum woke comments.Is it because of the goddesses and witches? Those are historically female things. The black woman spirit thing is pregnant because she’s giving birth to new life and energy.The masked character has prosthetic limbs because she’s giving birth was experimented on.I don’t know what else is woke. Matriarchal societies exist.
>>724229879I haven't played Absolum, so I can't rate it, but it looked woke and dumb. Show what's actually great about it. >Name a game:Knights of Valor, EX version of course. Not to be confused with Dynasty Wars/Warriors of Fate. It's Dungeons and Dragons TOD, except Romance of the 3 kingdoms. Possibly the greatest game taiwan has ever created. >>724230171Good advice in general. What is that dev up to these days?
>>724230238Release order. The earlier games show fundamentals. Later games add more gimmics and interesting shit. Final Fight.
>>724239317The designers said they wanted to set themselves apart by making their characters fit modern sensibilities.
>>724239296Nobody is convincing anyone of anything. People are surprised the brain rot you guys have is so bad that it extends to a product like Absolum. "Its woke" ok so it doesnt have characters with huge tits? Go play something else then. Why are you looking for sexual content in all media you consume? Your life is a mess.
>>724232269Haven't heard of it. Looks janky, but ambitious. If they polish it as hard as sifu, it will be fucking awesome.
>>724239614>ok so it doesnt have characters with huge tits?You guys sure do love your strawmen.Still not playing your shit game.
>>724238409>>724238494HOLD up. Lets see the alleged ass in question. I know there's enough anons pretending to like the game, that I will take the lack of ass as a lack of faith in the Force.
>>724239705Explain what is woke about it then.
>>724239614>ok so it doesnt have characters with huge tits? Go play something else then. Why are you looking for sexual content in all media you consume?Nice strawman. Literally nobody said anything like that.
>>724239705Nobody cares. Go jerk it to anime titties you loser, lol.
>>724238754Vaugely, I can't tell them apart easily.
>>724239382>Show what's actually great about it.modifiers are a great idea
>>724239849Make me
>>724239813Liar. Many people here say the characters are woke and not feminine. You are a disingenuous faggot and you likely jack off to anime. Good day.
>>724239109Make your case using the game and not shitposting then. Because right now you just seem like you're mad at the chuds.>>724239296Because sharing a great game isn't what those fucks are about. They want to be mad at chuds like pol wants to be mad a jews.
>>724224667teh combat isn't shallow, it's based on positioning and handling of mobs. you have to know how to use your limited moveset against increasingly difficult enemies and mob compositions. Thus you need to know when to grab, when to jump attack, etc and where to place yourself so you don't get wrecked. you don't need so many moves as the depth is in learning how to use the moves you have better.
>>724239849Lmao, triggered loony troony. >>724239795https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/absolum-interview-how-the-beat-em-ups-developers-created-four-fabulous-characters/>So the four playable characters had to have this “classic” vibe. We have the dwarf, the warrior, the magician, the rogue, but we wanted to have something that fits more with our modern culture. As a result, the warrior is a woman, non-sexualized. The magician is a frog deeply rooted in his family and community, the dwarf is the last of his kind, more subtle than a usual dwarf, and the rogue is a fantasy version of a ninja.From the devs themselves.Woke trash that belongs in the dustbin of history.
>Hey absolum is cool>No it's not. It is woke.>so what is woke about it?>No idea. You have to post proof that it is not woke to prove it isn't.Nice argument, you retards
>>724239864So...shit that's been pretty common since the PS2 era? Anything else?
>>724239929>Many people here say the characters are woke and not feminineAnd nobody said they had to be sexual. Nobody mentioned huge tits. Feminine =/= sexual content. Go jack off to your inflated ego and undeserved sense of self worth, like the pretentious idiot you are. Good day.
>>724224667Having few moves doesn't make the combat shallow. Final Fight 1 is the progenitor of basically all combat design for decades later for a reason; it has everything you need and each character focuses on different aspects of it.
>THE GAME IS NOT WOKE>Art director said they designed the cast with MODERN CULTURE in mindYep that's a woke.
>>724240007Look at this. Look at the image this guy attaches to his reply. Nobody talks about gameplay, they just talk about non sexualized characters. I can only imagine what your life is like offline.
>>724240032>No idea. You have to post proof that it is not woke to prove it isn't.You been told several times. >>724240007>>724239487>>724231990
>>724240154So they have to be more feminine looking for you to care? Are you even listening to yourself man? Why are you like this? Why cant you look at the games systems? The reason is your mind is consumed by brainrot. I feel bad for you, sincerely.
>>724239614If you're going to give me a female character to do violence, make her hot. otherwise just give me a man. I'm sick of ugly women in vidya.
>>724240220Anon it's the modern internet. Everything you do is in service to SIDE A or SIDE B. Are you on the same side as me? Because if you are that's all that matters, regardless of the topic at hand.
>>724240264Having a non-sexualized woman as a playable character is woke? You are literally proving that you just want to see tits.
>>724239932I like the gameplay. I like how you can run and dodge cancel moves, allowing for free form combos. I like the move variants. I like the replayability. I like how the combat feels. I dont really play games for anything beyond gameplay.
>>724240329She literally isn't ugly though. Not being overtly sexy doesn't mean you're ugly. She's just plain.
>>724240308You didn't address anything that was said. You put words in my mouth, which is basically all you're good at. I have millions of games I could be playing, why pay to play something visually unappealing?>>724240383>non-sexualizedThere's that strawman again.
>>724240357I guess Im just getting old. I remember /v/ in a different time would be able to talk about this game in a different manner, about gameplay rather than sexualized characters.
Absolum is right there
>>724240212Im more concerned if the game is fun or not
>>724240405>I dont really play games for anything beyond gameplay.If every character model was replaced with a realistic turd and the music was replaced with pro-nazi propaganda, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't play it, even if the gameplay and content was otherwise identical.
>>724240471Youre saying its visually unappealing because the characters arent feminine enough. If you dont like the graphics I totally respect that, but if youre discounting media based off of the women not being feminine enough I really dont know what to tell you. Thats the same as people not buying a game like Dragons Crown because the females have their cans out.
>>724224667There's one where you play in a post-apocalyptic Earth and then in level 2 you go to Heaven and turn into a samurai and fight some monsters. I guess the story is interesting enough to wonder what the final boss would be.
Fucking WOKE trash I can't even jerk off to any of these playable characters!!!
>>724240471You are a retard who can't even come to terms that a woman character can be plain looking.
>>724240432She's an ugly goblin that's all covered up and the devs have gone on record saying that that's on purpose.
>>724240598>Youre saying its visually unappealing because the characters arent feminine enoughswing and a miss
>>724240557I mean Im enjoying Double Dragon Revive and the graphics and sound are pretty ass, yes
>>724240405Well, you're the first person I've EVER seen anywhere to actually sounds like they've played the game and isn't just pretending to be an idiot to own the chuds. That's not enough for me to give a fuck, as all that shit was around in the Capcom CPS2 era, but I'll consider it.
>>724240661Ok man you can either explain your point or keep communicating like this, all good. Many people are upset at the game for the reason I mentioned. God bless.
>>724240667That isn't what I posted.
>>724240646NgL I'm Mirin' Haggar.
>>724240653>She's an ugly goblinShe LITERALLY isn't. Why do you feel you need to be hyperbolic to prove your point? Don't you realize this is making you look fucking retarded?
>>724240723>God bless.Don't post shit like this when you don't believe in God, you brainrotted zoomerspeak-spouting clod. You can't understand basic English, and you're running off after failing to set-up a strawman. Begone.
>>724240646Unrealistic female pandering. None of them even have vests protecting them.
>>724240646You say that but people still talk about Maki to this day despite being only playable in the weakest in the trilogy.
>>724240220I don’t care about the gameplay if none of the characters look cool enough for me to actually want to play as them.
>>724240857>performative christianityOh boy here we go
>>724240830You're telling us that you DON'T think that looks unappealing? A simple yes or no will suffice here. You think that's just "plain" and not "ugly"?
>>724237921Meant for >>724231330
>>724224529Double Dragon always sucked.
>>724240857Im trying to talk to you and find out what your issue is. Look how you communicate. Im 35 and Im going to church today with my wife and daughter. dont be so presumptuous.
>>724240932You just keep getting it wrong, you poor stupid fuck. I don't believe in God, I'm just sick of seeing phony morons spout that phrase because their favorite streamer or black celeb said it once as a joke. Same with "my brother in christ". You're all so fucking fake it's sickening.

>>724224602God Hand.
>Not playing games I would like to own the libsThis thread is an embarrassment
>>724241153>looks fine...for an ugly goblin the player is meant to kill to progress in a video, yes.
>>724241073People here are trying to talk to you sincerely about something and this is how you respond. Take it easy man, we are all videogame playing nerds here.
>nu /v/ is so coomer minded that it thinks that this woman is ugly and woke codedHAHAHAHAH literally kill yourself. Just accept that you gooners just want to see giant tits and ass all the time.
>>724241229Why don’t you just go shill your game on Resetera that seems like the audience you’re trying to attract anyway.
>>724241153>I said she looks fine twiceAnd I wanted full clarification via a simple yes or no response (which you couldn't get right). Here's what you should have posted:>Yes.And then I would respond.>Okay, just wanted to make sure. It looks ugly to the average person. Sorry about your taste, enjoy your game.
Also here to shill Absolum. Incredible game.>Ctrl + F "Absolum">27 hitsDo I even bother reading what is assuredly gonna be nothing but trash posts?
>>724240898It helps that Maki was in CVS2 and Alpha 3 Upper. Honestly it was more surprising the Lucia got into Street Fighter 5.
>>724241321Weird, I wasn't aware that this >>724226673 game's roster was nothing but giant tits and ass. Your character is ugly to look at. She could have the biggest rack on the planet and would still look ugly. Sorry your character is ugly, I guess.
>>724241329>TAKE THAT SIDE B!! >LOOK EVERYONE, I'M SUPPORTING SIDE A! THIS IS VERY FULFILLING TO ME!!video games
Anyone up for coop in Absolum. All these shitposts makes me want to play the game more.
This thread is proof that you cant engage with these people honestly that spout "woke trash". They are the same as the people they villify for wanting to censor content. Look how these people communicate when asked about their views. Gonna go play some Absolum now.
>>724241519You can tell how much you want to play the game by how you're still on 4chan instead of playing the game, lmao.
>>724230254That's why I like them.
>>724241519>>724241579lol shills mad
>>724241494Maki is another Bushinryu practitioner and SFV already did a deeper pull to add Zeku, so if they wanted a Final Fight woman Lucia was their only bet. One could argue for her over Kimberly in 6, but 6's focus for newcomers was a younger generation which wouldn't really work since Maki is around Guy's age; I'd just rather have Guy but giving him his own apprentice is nice at least. 6 needs Cody, Lucia, and/or Haggar at some point though.
>>724241579No you aren't. You're going to go shitpost in some other thread about how evil it is for fictional women to be even slightly visually appealing, and how everyone should boycot games that don't star "strong female characters".
>>724227237>>724227925>>724230646>>724233246You don't enjoy video games. You enjoy culture war shitposting.
>>724224756>AbsolumShan't touch tumblr games.
>>724241741Maybe you should’ve made less boring characters, that roster is bland as fuck.
>>724241715Bro Im a construction contractor, do you really think I give a shit about that? I just want a place to talk about videogames with people.
>>724241519Heck yeah fellow gamer! Add me my account name is "BuyAbsolum". Can't wait have some epic moments playing Absolum™ now available on pc and consoles with you!
>that one faggot aggro Absolum shillkek
>>724237067Mother Russia Bleeds is the peak of the genre.
>>724241867See? I knew you weren't going to go play the game, and were going to shit around shitposting and lying instead.
>>724241979Has to be a dev, it really doesn’t seem like something worth getting that upset about.
>>724238214The Warriors is peak.
>>724241979>game is received well everywhere>talk about the game in /v/ >game is dismissed as wokeslop and any attempts to talk about it is labelled as shillingWhy are you like this?
>>724241867Ah yes, construction contractors, known to sound exactly like every other reddit automaton and repeat their talking points.
>>724242132Im playing it now with some tea, using the chick with the grappling hook. Plays like Shiva from SoR4 with a grapple mechanic, air combos and air cancels with this character are a blast.
>>724242324Im going to be very honest with you; I have no reason to lie. I have always loved 4chan and /v/ and I really believe anonymous posting allows for more sincere communication if youre willing to be honest. I like this place and I like talking about games, I cant talk to people offline about it.
>>724242427Uh-huh.
>>724242292Why are you aggressively shilling your game in another game's thread? Make your own shill thread, faggot. Get filtered.
>>724242292>The first instance of Absolum being called woke on the thread is from someone shilling it>>724226008fascinating
>>724241715>Unironic SIDE A/SIDE B postingDo you people even realize how retarded you're being?
>finally unlocked vertical bazooka>it's fully unscaled like it's diagonal brotherNow have to figure out a way to put all 3 bazooka moves in one combo
>>724226008Man that one interview really tanked that game's reputation on here. I didn't even know about it until I beat my first run and came on here ti see the reception. None of that shit occurred to me.
>>724225202Gay. It looks & plays like a flash game and feels nothing like SoR.
>>724242667This looks really cool but Im not into VNs. Thanks for including the games name
>>724242942What interview, I just saw the obnoxious oversaturated tumblr drawings and clicked ignore.
>>724225202Absolutely fantastic, I have like 180 hours in it
>>724243089Sure you did
>>724243089How are those Hatsune Miku panties fitting my dude?
>>724238917Everything
>>724243136I'm honest, unlike the """"""construction contractor"""""" over there. I'm guessing the devs decided to be unhinged faggots in public? No one needed interviews to figure that out, one look with your working eyes to immediately download the devs entire (lack of) identity.
>>724243401Youre not honest at all. I tried talking with you nicely multiple times and you respond aggressively like a monkey without elucidating your points. Find god.
wait that blue thing in absolum is a woman? I thought it had all guy cast lmao
>>724243676Oh, it's you again. Haven't dropped the reddit voice yet, have we? Not that your kind can learn. Anyway, I searched the archives for it.>So the four playable characters had to have this “classic” vibe. We have the dwarf, the warrior, the magician, the rogue, but we wanted to have something that fits more with our modern culture. As a result, the warrior is a woman, non-sexualized. The magician is a frog deeply rooted in his family and community, the dwarf is the last of his kind, more subtle than a usual dwarf, and the rogue is a fantasy version of a ninja.Yeah, no fucking shit, you'd have to be blind to not notice their tumblr ideology.
>>724224529Long time beat 'em up enjoyer here......I never cared for this franchise. I always thought it was overrated. There are so many better games in the genre.
>>724224529Double Dragon is one of the most mishandled ips ever, no surprise this new title sucks.
>>724242942Dug through the archives and found my months old post calling the game ugly and ruined by rogue like garbage.
>>724243869
Can I get a modern beat'em'up that doesn't devolve to juggling combos?
Absolum just came out and is a lot of fun.Marvel Invasion is coming in 2 months.Genre is still kicking.
lmao, walking stereotype.
Is Revive actually bad? I'm not listening to games "journalists". It looks like shit but is the gameplay salvageable?
>>724224667Turtles in Time is fun and has great feeling combat, but it's greatest weakness is the difficulty. It's too easy. Its the only flaw it really has.Hyperstone Heist is shallow in content, but it takes the same combat system from TiT SNES and drops it into a more aggressive game. Enemies are nastier and gang up on you more. It makes you appreciate that they mapped dash to a button. The tempo, enemy management, positioning. It's what makes the genre great if you focus on playing well and not just button mashing.
>>724243401>I'm honestOk bro.
>>724244228That's one thing that's worrying me about modern belt games. They get obsessed with juggling or just making sure the enemies never have a turn.
>>724224529Double Dragon discovered Go Woke Go Broke and suffered the consequences
>>724244539Its not streets of rage 4 or anything but I like it. It certainly has some hidden depth that the game doesnt explain. All enemies have weak points where if yoy interrupt their animations you can do huge damage like punch out. There are basic run cancels from normal strings but its not as free flowing as SoR4 or something. You have a decent grip of attacks available and the game seems to be made for speed running, trying to discover all the animation interruptions that can kill bosses and enemies very fast.
>>724244904>just making sure the enemies never have a turn.Just like beat 'em ups have always done.
>>724244904Or you get the odd one where the Z-axis on your attacks needs near pixel precision line-ups, yet the enemies have a fat Z-axis on all of their hits.
>>724244602>but it takes the same combat system from TiT SNES and drops it into a more aggressive gameHH doesn't have the screen throw from TiT though which made a a lot of bosses just dodge and hit type.
>>724245374What would you rate it out of 10?I'm trying to find a .nsp for Switch of it. Fuck Nintendo for taking down all the ghost shops and the biggest switch ROM site lol
Frenchbread should stop making fighting games for a moment and make Ragnarok Battle Offline 2 instead....
beat em up afficianado here.as ugly and woke as Absolum is, the real flaw is in the rougelite shit. beat it as everyone with my gf, and the "good runs" end up with you being incredibly overpowered with insanely corny elemental effects that pretty much stop the enemy from even moving. if you aren't fond of SOR4's juggle shit gameplay, you would hate Absolum - the best strategy is to keep getting powerups that keep the enemy in the air and hitting them with 400 hit combos. there might be a decent game underneath it all, but without an Arcade mode that has NO powerups and each characters full move list available for the entire game, you're better off just playing something else. If you are allergic to progressive politics, do not even open the game. Its actually as bad as all the shitposters are saying for once.The best Beat em up games are still SOR4 with the DLC, and Dragon's Crown. I hope the new Marvel one thats coming out ends up good, but its probably gonna be a reskinned turtles game.
>>724245723The screen throw was used exactly for one boss. I'll give boss fights a plus for TiT just because it had a variety of them. HH was largely recycled, but the screen throw is not a major component to the game's boss fights.
>>724245970Didn't that happen due to some retards trying to monetize roms?
>>724246064I think there's a solid game in Absolumn if they gave us a proper Arcade mode. I'm a big fan of its side dodge system with the follow up counter, and combining the parry into the dash is run, even though I'm not a fan of parry systems in general. Dwarf's moveset is fun, but having to roll for it isnt.
>>724246052based taste
I want to make a belt action game bros, but I don't want to use Open BOR. How do I start?
>>724246064I feel like they should pull a reverse SOR4 and release an arcade mode for Absolum with a standardized set of power ups. That should assuage at least some of the shitposting.
That's too bad about Double Dragon Revive. I watched the IGN review and got excited as they were showing wall splat combos, but that's pretty much all there is. Any serious beat em up game in the future should have -a runat least limited aerial combosgrapple system + collisiona parry (sorry gamerdads)combos that at least require you to be awake
>>724247839I want combotards to leave
>>724247839a dive kick*
>>724224529Any good beat em ups with motion inputs for powerful moves?
>>724224602Final Fight arcade version, it's the only one I particularly like
>>724245970Id rate it a 7 so far. Full disclosure, I enjoyed Double Dragon Gaiden as well. For full price its kind of steep but on sale Id certainly recommend it to any fan of the genre.
>>724247839It has a runIt has a grapple system and collisionNo parry but it has perfect dodgeCombos can be run cancelled
>>724240830I almost bought this game and thought that was cool drow like dritz.Thank you /v/ for saving me from wasting my money on this woke slop garbage. You have to starve these faggots out and don't let them get cocky. I refuse to play a game where there is no male warrior or anything that looks remotely human to be a warrior class. No I'm not playing a manlet and no I'm not playing as some gender blob tumbler shit.Thank you again anon you saved me a few meals worth of money.
>>724248973Oriental Legends 2Although you have to unlock them first as you progress through the game.
>>724240636This sounds kino as fuck. What game?
>>724249873Forgot my image. I'm a little pissed the IGS Collection only had Oriental Legends 1 and Oriental Legends Special Plus, but not 2. What kind of fucking collection is that? Not that it matters anyways, I heard the collection had dog shit emulation. I haven't checked out if Legends 2 has proper emulation now. Back when I played it, the sound was fucked up but the game was fun enough. >>724249862Quit same fagging
>>724246064I have no idea why roguelikes can't also add a "Classic" mode to their games. With hand placed set levels. The core mechanics are all done already.
>>724250213I'm not, I legit do not want to give faggots like this my money. You're not going to bait and switch me with some fake Dritz look alike only to make it some ugly bitch.If you're claiming I'm same fagging it only shows that you're some lost tourist faggot that needs to dial 8
>>724241090Isn't that just for the survival mode?
what's the name of that one beat em up with the ninja girl with giant tits and wearing a white sweater?
>>724250340Bro just pirate it and stop being a fag
>>724249873Wow this looks really cool, thanks
>>724225658>And absolum is a shitty rougelike with a beatem up component shoved into it. They're all gutter trashIt's woke af too with androgenous/sus chars. Not even guesswork, but openly so according to dev.Won't be buying even if was good.
>>724250415>implying that playing a game where the women were intentionally made to look not like women isn't 'being a fag'
>>724250397Nina Warriors Returns /Again
>>724250415Why the fuck would I waste my time pirating something I fundamentally do not want to support?I have way more games and better things to do instead of playing this ugly piece of shit game made by white cucks.
>>724250570The god you worship is a 30 foot tall pregnant nigress by the way.Still, I'm enjoying the game. As that other anon has said it's a little too juggle-core-y but it's still fun. Though rogue like means serious repetition to grind upgrades. I'm 13 runs in
>>724250721So this was made by white cucks, fucking disgusting. I'm not giving them my time eyeballs or money and I hope the delusional faggot shill trying to say everyone with common sense and represents over half the country is the same person.
Call me Daddy Mulk bitch
>>724250624Would you play Absolum if all characters looked like this?
>>724224529Id like to see something like the host of Dreamcast ganes and even those PS2 LotR games but with a budget, 3d beat en ups simply dont get made, and I think the main issue with this genre not taking off is that far too many people see 2d graphics side scrolling and just lose interest.
>>724251058NTA but I would play it if the characters didn't look ass ugly or troon coded. I also wouldn't play a game that looks like cal arts shit or looked like any tranny artist.
>>724251058You can suggest an H game with the best combat system ever made, but these niggas are never going to touch it. They're just here to cause trouble.
>>724229171Probably will never happen.Leftists would cry so hard if Dragon's Crown got a PC port it would be too entertaining. This was Jason Schreier on Dragons Crown before woke was anywhere near peak activity.https://archive.ph/HTG8v
>>724251491Another reason why I refuse to buy these woke approved games, tourist enter the space think they can dictate it and then want to bitch and moan when they receive the same treatment
>>724250721You can make it through the game without leaning hard on the juggle mechanics or abilities. But the game doesn't really discourage you into not engaging or boosting that aspect. I always pick the non-juggle boosting power ups because I really hate juggling. Chain lightning rules.
>>724250891Okay anon we heard you the first time. You don't need to proselytize anymore.
>>724251660Since you're going to bitch about it I'm going to rub it in your face. You're going to wish that previous anon was the only anon you were dealing with white cuck faggot
>LEFT/RIGHT brain retard finds the thread and can't stop spewing his diarrhea everywhereWhy are they like this?
>>724251491Vanillaware responding with 3 half naked dwarves was the most based as fuck thing.
>>724251740You started this when you decided to bitch moan and claim anons were samefagging for being put off by this ugly game. You can't bitch and moan now when you don't get the outcome you want on /v/ of all places>Not wanting ugly tumblr slop is politicalWho's the left/right brain retard now?
>>724251721You're the same anon. Quit pretending like you have a life.
>>724239614The frog is a tranny lmao
>>724229171VW don't want to do it. Japanese fear of PC.
>>724230393is this a joke? a regular fighting game has more sprites than the regular beat em up. Mostly you have 10 different guys with different colors. Also much much less animations per mob.
>>724252017I'm >>724251964>>724251721>>724251587>>724251129>>724250891>>724250690>>724250340>>724249862You started this by calling me a samefag and I made it clear I'm going to rub it in your face.I have nothing to hide especially when you're some white cuck faggot crying because I don't want to buy your ugly tumblr game. Until I get bored you're going to be my bitch.
>>724252175>Admitting to making 8 blatant shitposts in a thread because someone gave him the grumpy dumpiesfucking lmao
>>724252096They really put stuff in the water in the game that turned the frogs gay?
>>724252291>Direct response to your cope>Calls it a shit postTell me you're some tourist tranny without telling me that you are one. Like I said you're now my bitchBut seeing how you're a faggot you probably get off to it. You are not entitled to my money for making a troon core game fruit cup.>>724252364If true HOLY SHIT if that frog is a tranny I'm going to have a giggle.
>>724241321This thread ensured I'll never buy Absolum.I don't know shit about it but between the insane faggy shilling going on, gay frogs, and the trolling niggerfaggots, I've been practically assured the game is shit.
>>724250564It's a fun game, enjoy. Although I'm not sure if it has an actual ending. I kept looping around like 4 times. The start is also weird. If I remember right, you get a completely different intro stage, but I don't know if it was character dependent or random.
Man, I was too. This series is cursed or something.
>>724224529The only good DD games were 3 and Super.
Just play Neon, it's the best.
>>724252175
>>724252471Careful the tranny faggot shill is going to call you a samefag
>>724252687Don't care, I'm outta here.
If I enjoyed the procedural elements of the DLC in Streets of Rage 4, will I enjoy Absolum? Or is Absolum dumbed-down from what Streets of Rage 4 had in its DLC?
>>724224602Viewtiful Joe is the only one I ever go back to
>>724249862Game sold more than a million copies. You lost.
>>724252573Nigga what the fuck, I'm right here>>724252581No grabs. Disqualified.
>>724252847Advance would've been the best if it wasn't held back by the GBA controls. A lot of inputs/moves were modified to the two (technically 4) button layout and it sucked for that.
>>724252748Maybe? The game has combat depth, but its locked behind the rogue lite system. All your characters start with a basic jab combo and special attack. They only expand their movesets after defeating a boss, and those are only active for that run.
>>724252812I don't care?I'm not going to buy it, you can use sales tranny cope but it doesn't move me when I see how upset you are because I don't want to buy it.You're so attached and angry from one voice so I know that I struck a cord with (You) the white castrated cuck nu male
>>724224602Captain Commando
What are your favourite beat em ups? I'm building an arcade cabinet and trying to put together the best ROMs for it. So far I have the classics like Dinos and Cadillacs, Dungeons and Dragons, Knights of Valor, Dynamite Cop, Streets of Rage, TMNT etc.
>>724253013I didn't have a problem with that. It worked fine. My biggest beef is just the screen space being crunched up. It's thr most technically sound version if DD1 without the slowdown and a bunch of mechanical improvements, but its all contained to a tiny damn resolution. I wish there was a new version with a bigger screen space. That would also address your issue with controls if they expanded and improved the button mapping.
>>724225658Can we get this made by a non spastic without all these ugly filters and fucked up aspect?
>>724253112>you are angry because ...you just are ok?lol no. If anything I'm happy that biased retards like you didn't win.
>>724253217Final Fight, obviously. Metal Warriors. Maybe the new Power Rangers.
>>724253217Sengoku 3Alien vs PredatorOriental Legends 2The PunisherJackie Chan Stuntmaster (Unironic answer. It's actually really good.
>>724253289It would definitely be my favourite if it got remade with proper controls. As it is there's just too many contextual and delayed inputs to pull off moves.
>>724224667You should play Dragons Crown. Big movesets, great synergy between characters if you play multiplayer, unlocks and builds.Only thing I dislike about it is the diablo loot.>>724238626I love fighting games and think most beat em ups are lazy and one note.
>>724253217Undercover Cops, if you are adding arcade games. The SNK ones were Sengoku I and II I think. There's also one called Guardians, I think it's a sequel to Denjin Makai.
>>724230238I refuse to buy any capcom collections ever since they did the absolute bullshit that was final fight double impact. Literally went to camp out at a cabin with the bros. We wanted to do a couple runs of final fight and magic sword.LITERALLY hit with a please sign into playstation network message. Capcom (not sony) put fucking online only drm in a singleplayer beat em up port. And literally was not listed anywhere in any part of any eula.Needless to say I did get a refund but fuck. Why do shit like this
No, wait, Armored Warriors its called.Also Battle Circuit.
>>724224602ninja warriors once again
>>724232269>clearly has it's own assets made>still manages to have the ai generated lookdamn this sucks. maybe they prompted all the character designs and had someone match it with 3d assets
>>724253357You have been sperging at anons for not wanting to buy your slop Adventure Time is tranny slop that's popular doesn't mean me or any of my family will watch that piece of shit garbage. Like I saidWhite cuck
How we feeling about the new He-Man game bros? Infact, how are we feeling about the state of the genre so far? We got Power Rangers, Shredder's Revenge, G.I Joe, Toxic Crusader. Hell, I just saw a YouTube add for a Terrifier beat'em up game. Which leads me to another question. Why do western properties always get Beat'em Ups? Japanese properties seem to only get arena fighters. What gives?>>724253585Oh shit I forgot about Undercover Cops. Solid as fuck game. Definitely agreeing with this anon. You got to add it.
>>724241698Yeah but guy only scares me in ground interactions. Maki scares me if I jump and she jumps with 2-3 meters
>>724241090it's not rougelite
>>724253903Americans have a lot of love for old beat em ups. Japan apparently doesn't care anymore.He-man looks nice, lets see how it plays.
>>724253735Ok retard.
>>724241090>side modekek retard>>724241321You guys carry the same energy as onirism fans do. Player repellent when geniune questions arise up and constant deflection. All you gotta do is replace the gremlins in the fanbase with trannies instead of pedophiles

>>724253404>>724253653Yeah, when you said Armored instead of Metal, I was confused, but acknowledging Metal Warriors' existence already shows excellent taste.
>>724253903Best em ups have just become the "remember the 90's" genre sadly.These games are just "okay". They don't TRY to do anything new or push the genre forward. It's all just nostalgia bait. The games are fine but we want and need more than fine. They don't have any interesting new mechanics or systems and they don't even TRY to. I haven't played the demo of the new marvel game but I know I don't need to because it will play EXACTLY THE SAME as Turtles and power rangers and all the others.I'm fine with these new games I just wish someone would push them forward a bit.
>>724253217>What are your favourite beat em ups?Aliens Vs Predator, Captain Commando, Captain America and the Avengers (arcade only), Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder, Guardian Heroes, the Capcom D&D games
>>724253903There's a new fucking He-Man beat-em-up?
>>724224756>Shitty cashgrab>posts shitty cashgrabyou should be ashamed
>>724254393Will be next year.https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/08/he-man-is-the-next-80s-icon-getting-his-own-stunning-arcade-style-retro-revival
>>724254017when i beat an area i get a random selection of power ups and all the enemies level up procedurally.
>>724254393Coming soon™.There's a The Phantom beat em up and a Toxic Crusader beat em up and a fucking GI Joe beat em up.Coming soon in the form of a generic 16 bit brawler to you is [insert popular 80/90s IP here]I feel like Trasnformers and Thundercats will be next.
>>724254275the new turtles has dark souls dodges, air combos and snk taunts, and combat is designed entirely around that they make changes, but the changes are usually bad
>>724240830>/v/ now says that this is disgustingI thought that she looked like the stereotypical black hog tumblr design "female" character. This is average sexo, what's wrong with you people?
>>724254596Wait. The Phantom?
meh... I did try the demo for Marvel Cosmic Invasion and it was decent. Will buy it in december.
>>724224529That's just the Double Dragon franchise, beat'em ups as a genre are doing quite good right now. Indie devs love making them, especially after SOR4. Shredder's Revenge got a lot of love and those guys are making a Marvel licensed one.Plus NG4 just came out, and character action games are basically the evolution of 3D beat'em ups, so you should play that if you like them.
Didn't they anounce a new Scott Pilgrim game coming soon? When is that shit coming?
>>724254596The Phantom and GI Joe games are extremely shit and low effort tho. Not nearly on the same level as Shredder's Revenge, which is designed for normies, but it does a lot of things right anyway. There was a Karate Kid one as well, and even that's better.
>>724254275>It's all just nostalgia baitTrue>They don't TRY to do anything new or push the genre forwardThey don't have to. I like beat-em-ups and I want to play more of them. >but I know I don't need to because it will play EXACTLY THE SAME as Turtles and power rangers and all the others.The fact that you think Shredder's Revenge and the new Power Rangers game play the same means you're either being disingenuous or don't understand the genre well enough to notice (or care) about the nuances. It's like calling every shmup the same because you're a ship shooting bullets at other ships shooting bullets at you.That being said it's very easy to fuck up a beat-em-up, especially if you're a developer who only knows the genre superficially. If you don't understand what makes the genre good, you'll just shit out slop. Look at the new Gi-Joe game or the Nightslashers remake. On the surface someone might say "Oh that's just Shredder's Revenge and SoR4 but reskinned". But if you play them you quickly realize they're terrible. There were lots of bad beat-em-ups in the 90's arcade days as well.
>/v/ now thinks Shredders Revenge is badThis is the most contrarian board in all of 4chan.
>>724255074If anyone says that you know you can ignore them.
>>724254090That doesn't work when you're a white cuck, you don't even deny it and you're still seething. I would have called you a pajeet but your behavior and going right to politics are Hallmark signs of a white cuck tranny
>>724254596Really hoping for a Thundercats one. Just make it a regular ass swords and sorcery style belt scroller like the Capcom Dungeons and Dragons games.
>>724224778This garbage is just Devil's Dare/Streets of Red 2, and Devil's Dare sucks. Can't believe idiots actually fell for it.
>>724255014>There was a Karate Kid one as well, and even that's better.I unironically enjoyed that. At least up until they introduced the armored enemy types that had to be beaten in a specific way as a standard enemy. The game also has a really good soundtrack for no God damn reason. https://youtu.be/y52A4G9_chY?si=Zt8TLyPgLofbMz86
>>724224529So, the Marvel game will suck? I wanted to play as Spider-Man...
>>724254683https://youtu.be/oUUcu7MJ4vQ?si=ikUFf_bMwfzl6v6HIt looks like shit though :(
>>724255763There's a demo
>>724255814What an obscure license.
>>724255068Turtles and PR do play the same though. Same mechanics and move list.
I had my fun with you white cuck, now I'm going to go do something fun for myself.Fuck you and everything you stand for
>Sonic has had multiple spin offs in a variety of genres>Still no Knuckles Belt ActionWhat gives SEGA

Quick guide to the games in this collection.>Final FightStill way cooler than the games that copied it, which have a similar setting but get goofier with it. It's hardcore and unforgiving, there's a lot of enemies on screen, and if they get close enough to attack and you aren't already hitting them, you're in deep shit. There's relatively heavy memorization elements. But if you throw yourself into the fire a little with this game, you'll get better at the basics of the genre.Difficulty: Mid-hard to extremely hard.>Captain CommandoThere's some really cool aspects of this setting, sometimes it's a little too wacky for my tastes as well. The enemy design is way more forgiving than Final Fight, and it feels better to move around and bash them. The bosses though, are still difficult to manage. You have to study their pattern to avoid damage, and figure out which move you can reliably hit them with.Difficulty: Mid to very hard.>King of DragonsCaptain Commando advanced the mechanics a bit, this game took a step back and whittled down the design to the most basic level. There's no combos or other moves, you just move around, jump, and attack (not counting the magic spell power-ups. It's still better than a lot of games because the visuals of the fantasy setting are peak pixel art. You also change appearance as you level up, and the better you score the faster you'll level.Difficulty: Medium to hard.>Knights of the RoundSimilar to King of Dragons, but the fantasy element of the medieval setting is toned way down. You get fantastical things, they're more anime style like a big giant dude with implausibly intricate armor. The thing to understand about this game is that it has a parry you do by pressing back+attack. This was ahead of its time and makes it more like a modern action game, if you want to fuck with that. It's based on Arthurian legend, and you get better armor for progressing just like King of Dragons.Difficulty: Hard to extremely hard.
>>724240646Youre being a projecting fag, but your picture is a great example of how good art can make a game timeless despite being so simple.Simply by looking at them them you can tlel what their role is within the game, fast guy, strong but no fast dude, the powerhouse, Final Fight is so fondly remembered that pretty much everyone knows who these 3 are, and Haggar is still memed on, hell he's got a statue in SF6.Meanwhile Absolum>Guy with a sword>Oh wait that's a girl and she's blue for some reason>Frog, I guess he's a mage?>Ninja thing, oh its a puppet, also a girl>DwarfJust boring shit, tumblrcore tier trash, Guy, Cody and Haggar will be remembered for decades, meanwhile nobody will remember the Absolum cast.
>>724253217SOR 1-4Golden Axe 1-3Dragons CrownFight'n'Rage is really goodMother Russia Bleeds was decent as wellRiver City Girls 1 and 2 were lots of fun (played couch co-op) but theyre more RPG-ish, don't know if you should count them
>>724257727But can this be added to an arcade cabinet somehow? Golden Axe is the only arcade game on that list, the first one.
Anyone else play Wendigo Blue? I feel like it does the same thing as Absolum but with slightly more tolerable character designs and pixel art instead of that overly smooth comic look.My only problem with it is that it's a one-man job and it's in early access, so it probably won't be finished anytime soon.
>mother russia bleedsI don't know how anybody can support this hideous shit. It's almost as ugly as Absolum.
>>724257969Not sure, but I do know there is an arcade exclusive Golden Axe that came out between 1 and 2, that should def be on there.
>>724257516You are a weird faggot. Now you dont like animal characters? You are terminally online bappa and you need to get a job
>>724258089Revenge of Death Adder. Its great.
>>724257969If it's a mame cabinet it's just running an emulator like retroarch anyways.
>>724257981First I heard of it. I'll add it to my checklist. Based on the absolute meltdown Absolumn causes on here, I fear that Lost Castle 2 has no chance of surviving any discussion on here.
>>724258541I don't know. That chibi red head looks pretty fuckable.
>>724258651>Gook production>Roguelite>Digital art with tween animation instead of pixel artIt's got a bit going against it. I loved the original.
Another one to add to the try it out list bros.It looks pretty cool.
>>724257981I bought it really cheap but because it's in Early Access I'm holding off on playing it for a while. Same thing with Rotwood. The game keeps changing every few months I decided I'm just going to hold off and play other games on my backlog. Rotwood is great too btw. Another roguelite style beat-em-up with a unique combat system where each weapon plays vastly differently.
>>724225553Kind of surprising that River City Ransom was never more influential with its open world and RPG mechanics.
>>724258972Playing some games like it (Scott Pilgrim and the River City Girls series) I feel like they'd be better as straight beat 'em ups without the RPG mechanics.
>>724258972The games that did ape it did it at such a surface level that they're just straight up inferior. Scott Pilgrim game tried but fucked everything up that it was a weaker game because of it. Underground was a close attempt to the open world portion, but it fell extremely short in all other aspects.
>>724258541>>724258873>>724258882I need more suggestions. This some good shit. This thread ended up solid in the back half.
>>724257981Looks cool, thanks. Wishlisted
>>724231996>It also has a Mick Gordon track on the first bossI hate how modern vidya has like two MODERN (don't bring up some NES legendary musician, that's not the point) famous musicians: Gordon and Fox. Everyone else seems to fade away in the background.
>>724238214>Urban ReignToo much beat, because it keeps beating my ass. Not a beat em up.>God HandHalf the meta of the game revolves around juggling, AKA upping.>Tekken ForceLiterally a mini-game, so not even a game, therefore not a beat 'em up, it's just a beat up.
Non binaries aren't a thing. Stop pushing that shit in your games.
>>724224602dynamite cop 2
>>724260510Nobody is even talking about that anymore faggot>>724259497Ninja Saviour is great and I enjoyed the slower pace of The Friends of Ringo
>>724260768It's not a belt scroller but it's pretty fun.
>>724260490>Half the meta of the game revolves around juggling, AKA upping.This is why I didn't like it. I saw /v/ loving it but juggling feels so shit.
>>724260490the juggling itself is pretty weak tho cuz on DIE enemies escape almost instantly. the real meta is counter hit into launcher.
>>724257284>Warriors of FateThis is where the games start getting pretty sick and more accessible while increasing complexity. This was actually a licensed game for a big Chinese franchise. It's probably the longest beat'em up Capcom made, and there's a lot of enemies on screen but you have a lot of space, it feels like fighting through an army. There's five characters including 2 big bodies and an old man archer, they all play pretty different. You can also get a good or bad ending depending whether you win fast enough at certain points.Difficulty: Medium to hard.>Armored WarriorsThis game is very cool. The four different mechs do play differently but it's not as distinct as in other games. It has an awesome gimmick where you have powerups for the arms, legs, and shoulder cannon that replace those parts on your character, and most of them are really strong. There's a laser sword, drill arm, spider legs, tank treads.... The movement is very fast, even slippery, but responsive. Doesn't play like any of the others, definitely a highlight of the collection.Difficulty: Medium-easy to hard.>Battle CircuitThe setting of this game is kinda similar to Captain Commando, it's very goofy, but the characters are fucking sick. They're all very strong, and you can buy new moves for them as you progress. You have tons of moves in this. It's a short game however, and while it's easier, it feels kinda more like a puzzle where you can route your progress and plan what skills you'll need where ahead of time. It does have a secret/true final boss that you can only access if your score is high enough by the end. Extremely visually impressive.Difficulty: Easy to medium-hard.The only Capcom beat'em ups that aren't in this are The Punisher, Alien vs. Predator, Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, and the Mystara games, and those are all better than about half the ones here, but they're all worth playing. Super high quality, best of the 90s.
>>724258094
>>724261010Anon was talking about this on /vr/ the other week, this game you could describe as a side scroller with full beat'em up mechanics, or as a beat'em up that's only missing the extra dimension of belt scrollers. It works perfectly either way you look at it, lol. I love that game.
>>724258541>>724258856The characters look like humans, not amorphous agender blobs, that's already a point in its favor.
>>724239614>Its wokeI looked at it, it looks nice. But I hate the trope of girls looking like men, and she looks like a man. Stoneshard did this too. Am I asking to draw every women in skimpy clothes? No I'm not. Recently I watched the Shining and Silence of the (((Lambs))). Both movies have important female roles. I thought both was fine. If they made that Gan or whatever character look like Jodie, I wouldn't complain. But right now she looks like a man with a girl's name, and the character I posted here looks like a dude. I probably would play it anyways with my gf
>>724247839>a parry (sorry gamerdads)every beat 'em up has a parry, it's called "hit the fucking guy before he hits you because unlike 3D games we don't do gayass super armor" >>724254275>Best em ups have just become the "remember the 90's" genre sadly.there was already a precedent with this with capcom and konami making a ton of licensed beat em ups, but at least capcom was trying different shit with each one like giving you a gun in Punisher or doing proto-DMC shit in Aliens vs PredatorI actually played a bit of the he-man demo and they have a block button there for some reason, why would you ever want to block in a belt scrolling beat em up, kek. like it makes sense in ninja warriors because you dont have the third dimension, but in a betl scroller you can already avoid most things by moving up or down a bit
>>724261378>Warriors of FateIf you didn't use Zhang Fei you didn't beat the game.
>>724224602River city girls :3
>>724230820The second woman you see is a boney African pregnant hag that claims to be your mom. Im also sick of seeing ugly woman.
SoR4 revived the genre. Then shitty licensed games killed it again. This game is too slow to matter. Should have done revive years ago instead of the shitty gaiden game they didThere are some okay brawlers around thoughNot webm related
>>724263215>worst boss fight i've ever seen in a brawler.webmYeah, Wendigo Blue needs to cut down on all the armor on bosses, especially the one boss where the only way to break her armor is to parry her.
holy mother of ludo...
>>724253217Battle Circuit might be unironically capcoms best beat em up
>>724263940i wonder what this one is abou- HOLY MOLY
>>724253903>>724254393The He-Man game is from the same team as Final Vendetta so I'm definitely expecting some solid design fundamentals there.
>>724263738Wendigo just has tons of issues. Its amazing this is 10 years after Valdis (a game shat on for poor game design) and this is worseThese guys are a stage 2 boss and - Its 2 guys- They can and will just squat when they want (this is invincible)- They can teleport or just shoot you out of a squat- They can give themselves armor whenever they feel like it, which completely removes hitstun- There's a blue bar at the bottom of the screen. What is that? I don't know- They do about 20% of your life per hit on normal with their weakest attacks- Almost all their moves burn you, which appears to completely ignore difficulty levels and does about 40% of your hp per hit- Its entirely possible for one to squat mid-hitstun, teleport out and instantly shoto you with 3 flaming bullets, killing you instantly- Or get shot by 2 of them at once, you just die, even on easy, one touch dead- You can barely combo them because of all of the above, +- At set hp levels they exit hitstun instantly, exit the screen and summon allies- Since this is stage 2, you can't realistically have any resistances t o anything they do or any tools to help you- And several of their attacks can't be blocked or parried for... some reason The other second stage is 2 ice guys who stunlock you for like 70% of your health off one touch instead Status effects being broken was one of the main complaints in Valdis, but they just did the same shit hear and unsruprisingly, the game bombed
>>724264095
>>724264210Octopath traveler has caused great damage to this industry.
>>724264134Wasn't that game dog shit? Or am I thinking of The Takedown?
>>724264134Oh fuck yeah, Final Vendetta has very fun mechanics. I love stomping on downed enemies. Bitmap Bureau getting some big opportunities this year.
>>724263215Gaiden was just an indie dev asking for the license and getting a yes when he only had one pretty unknown indie beat-em-up made before that, and Gaiden is basically just a reskin of that with more money behind it. Revive is the one ArcSys actually hitched itself onto for some reason, despite it being fucking Yuke's who can't seem to not fuck up anything that isn't EDF these days.
>>724264134>The He-Man game is from the same team as Final VendettaReally? That's cool. Final Vendetta was like a solid 8/10 for me. (I mean that as a good score, very few games break 8/10 for me). The only real gripe I had with it was how Streets of Rage derivative it was. Them using He-man designs would alleviate that concern.
>>724264274The Takeover is what you're likely thinking of, the mediocre SoR clone with guns and bad visuals. Final Vendetta has great spritework and feels like a game that could've come out at the very backend of the SNES lifespan that balances itself completely around 1ccs.
>>724264320Isn't Sandlot EDF? Yuke's is just wrestling shit. Unless Yuke's did World Brothers.
>>724264392>babarian isn't a hot grandmaSMDH
>>724264392what the fuck am I looking at? lol
>>724264274The Takedown was just ok. Yet another Streets of Rage clone (down to the character designs/setting as well) but not as mechanically solid as Final Vendetta. I'd still say it's worth a playthrough, and it goes pretty cheap now too, but I don't think I'll replay it much.
>>724243051Repetitive SOL segments aside, it's a pretty good cyberpunk conspiracy story.Also has some good jokes.
>>724264512https://store.steampowered.com/app/2072980/Final_Knight/This one. Next fest demo. The characters played like Monster Hunter in 2D, more or less.Sadly the full game is party based and I fucking hate allied NPC's so i passed
>>724264583IIRC, isn't the takedown also some eceleb venture? I ain't supportin' that shit.
>>724254275I think it's strange how Streets of Rage 4 is peak in gameplay and everything after is mid nostaliga bait. Like you said they're just doing the bare minimum mid gameplay.Even the SoR4's dev's other works since (Absolum?) aren't as good.
>>724264631Strange art style. Is like chibi but mostly the head.
>a beat-em-up thread reaches the top today was a good day
>>724264631Now this is some kino single plane beat-em-up action, and despite the simplistic pixel designs they don't do gross rixels/mixels like other indie slop. A real standout from the last next fest, even though it's clearly a small scope game.
>Guardian Heroes Remaster or Remake>for PC>online multiplayer>multiple branching paths with different encounters, arenas and character unlocksI would cum buckets
>>724264691Matt from SBFP keeps talking about like he worked on it but I don't know what exactly he did. He might have just paid for dev costs or something because it's not like he's in it. Either way you're not missing much.

>>724258972I feel Yakuza is just a secret RCR-clone.
I just want a 3D brawler like Spikeout but make it randomizer/rogulike so you can play it forever.Hopefully we get that next.
>>724256929They're actually making a Danger Mouse game next.
>>724264694>Streets of Rage 4 is peak in gameplayLmao no>Only 1 character can fucking run>You just spam specials infinitely because its trivial to regain the hp faster than you lose; flloyd in particular seems designed for this>Enemies have 1 attack they just spam>Bosses made of super armorIts a solid 6/10>>724264814Needs some balancing done. Enemies escape basic combos too easily but it was comnpletely trivial to live as long as I want spamming dash attacks and specials >>724265263No, it can't be a clone just because it shares some basic similarities. Yakuza is 3D and took until dragon engine to even have seemless battles. Its story focussed. Its piss fucking easy (so much so i stopped buying them entirely, they're too easy to be fun, even on the hardest mode, even if you buy no attack upgrades, even if you mod enemy health higher)
>>724265435whats this character ? i didnt see her in the unlockables when i played this.
>>724224529The biggest problem with this game is that it's a buggy mess. Even the very first boss has a weird issue where I guess specific attack animation has a different root position, so he just seemingly teleports around the stage (and so does the player if you pick up his weapon) while attacking. I noticed this for several enemies too.On top of that, enemies have actual suck to target bullshit, so even if you dodge behind them whilst they are mid-attack then they will instantly snap to you.Specials also don't drain health, nor they require any special input or timing like old DD games, so it winds up being too OP for what its worth on top of having counter property for mandatory modern gaming red flashing attack.The rest of the game is just ok, nothing egregious, some wonky hitboxes, especially for grabs, frequent input overlapping (especially for grabs), pretty typical for your run of the mill bmup from unknown dev (yuke's hired some new guys to make it, so it's not like actual old heads were behind it).

>>724265984Terminator 2D will have some beat'em up sections at least. Looks like a variety of different arcade style games for each part of the story.
Last beat em up webm I got someone should tell me if ninja saviors is good
>>724264136I personally had no problem with most of the game, but most things that mildly annoy me (the raft stage in Fight 'n Rage comes to mind) are complete game breakers for some.>There's a blue bar at the bottom of the screen. What is that? I don't knowEvery boss has that, it's the timer for when they do their big attack. In their case it's when they do that teleport >shoot combo.My solution for those guys (And when they become common enemies in later stages) is to evade through their shots. Aenir in particular is great against them because she has a huge special attack out of her dodge that counts as both weapon and magic damage that more often than not one-shots their armor and immediately opens them up for a combo.
>>724265435They've added like 12 new characters but 0 fucking new levels.I don't want to play the same fucking 5 levels for the hundredth time. Make new levels not characters REEEEEEEE

Being forced to break it before you can do anything sucks though.>the ability to teleportThey're pretty much the only ones who do it, and it's pretty predictable.>super attacks on a timerIt's stupid to have to watch the timer but you know when they're going to pull their bullshit thanks to it.>3 waves of allies They all drop health and if you do a big enough combo you can kill the boss before the goons come out.>two of themThey're normal enemies who appear in the standard mixup in the later stages. I believe you fight 3 or more at a time eventually.One real problem I have with the game is that it seems to be built around multiplayer. It feels super unbalanced if you try to play solo without at least the NPC partner.
>>724264831They already did that and it's stuck on the 360.
>>724264831Can’t you just do the same thing with emulation?
