Are you actually killing the dudes you beat up?
>>731040206no, just incapacitating them in a flurry of blows like an old school action movie. Outside of the very obvious scenarios, Jackie Chan’s characters never killed the mooks. Also, there are hordes of guys standing in between you and your goal. It would take up way too much time to canonically kill anyone; just beat them up and keep moving
>>731040206Unless they explicityly say or show so, then no. That's why it's a beat 'em up, not kill 'em up. Even that wheelchair nigga from final fight is still alive.
>>731040206Good question, Axel is a former cop right? I know the [current climate] is different but you would think a former cop wouldn't be going around killing people even if they were bad guys. I assume they're just knocked out.
what's the lore behind enemies blinking and disappearing when you've beaten them up?
>>731040462The bad guys nuke a city and kill over 30,000 people in SoR3 so beating a few to death would probably be justifiable
>>731040462>I know the [current climate] is differentActually, bodycams have completely exonerated police in most situations. You can watch hours and hours of footage of negroids' brains malfunctioning, and they just attack cops or act like they don't have to listen to a word they say and can freely leave.
So is the punisher just using rubber bullets in the game?
>>731040535Ninjutsu.
Nah just knocked out. If you watch a couple of boxing and mma fights you'll see you can get knocked out for minutes without sustaining too much permanent damage.
>>731040535They’re just laying around defeated and basically become background noise. It’s a gameplay contrivance to have less clutter and use less memory on screen
>>731040572But if you kill them you're just as bad as they are and they wint. Japanese writer, probably>>731040614I didn't mean that cops are going around killing people, more that the *perception* is that they are, so thinking that they wouldn't do so isn't immediately obvious.
>>731040462>[current climate]Cops still won't kill you unless you're doing things like trying to run them over because they're trying to nab somalian scammers lmao
Pretty sure real people are stuck in there so yea.
>>731040206It largely depends on interpretation I know that one Double Dragon Neon has a joke where the villain rants about how much he hates the heroes and one of the reasons being how they "murdered countless Williamses" I think Final Fight and Streets of Rage you're not committing a massacre while games like Battletoads Arcade pretty obviously depict you slaughtering mooksIIRC Captain Commando is also explicit but I might be misremembering Not a beat em up but just as proof that an enemy poofing/fading away doesn't necessarily mean them being taken down non-lethally, it's made explicitly clear that Sly Cooper DOES kill generic enemies when he defeats them even though the actual crime leaders tend to survive
>>731040206At the very least sending them to the hospital, having to go through weeks of painful physical therapy, maybe even crippling them for life.
>>731040731The ICE incident is 100% unwarranted and fuck their organization.
>>731041289NTA, I agree with you on ICE but that bitch deserved to die>ugly fat lesbian defending muh refugeesIt's the best case scenario, a fucking retard dies and ICE gets some actual scrutiny and criticism
>>731041289She was a stupid divorced dyke who literally left her children without a mother because she wanted to cross statelines to pick a fight with agents to defend 60iq scammers, good riddance.
>>731040206They're not called kill 'em up games are they?
>>731040206there are stages where you toss people off buildings and bridgeswhat do you fucking think
>make a beat em unc game>except the main character is THE PUNISHER>A CHARACTER THAT SHOOTS PEOPLE INSTEAD OF PUNCHING THEM
Feel like if you were killing them it would need to be with firearms and at that point it turns into a shooter
