combat depth is the only thing that matters in gamesif you care about>muh aura>story >dialog >puzzles>setting kill yourself immediately
What if the game doesn't have combat?
the older i get the more i agree with this. i find myself totally bored with story in games now. i just dont care. i find myself more and more gravitating to multiplayer and competitive games because they are pure gameplay. when i play single player games it just feels like a bunch of waiting in between actually getting to play the game
>>733695527because game stories are bad dude
>>733695579I agree the industry should stop wasting money on it
combat flow is more important than depthit can be deep as the mariana trench if the flow is shit
>posts i frame simulator
>>733695707the industry should stop meesing with it and just let the writers deliver peak. Having a good story is actually really really really cheap to do. You can put it in fucking item descriptions. Like fromsoft but actually good story.
What about interaction depth?
>>733695948I'm not reading sticky notes. Either put it into dialogue or cutscenes or don't bother.
>>733696103all of the best vidiya stories are unvoiced text
>>733696214Give me an example.
>>733695126>>733694976Answer the man, OP. I'd like to know, too. Currently playing Ace Attorney 2 and it seems pretty good to me. Please, explain in detail why this puzzle VN is shit for not having deep combat
>>733696214When I meant sticky note I meant flavor of text with no character talking behind it and just lazy writing on an item.
>>733694976Webm not related at all then
It's fine to prioritize gameplay, obviously, but you not hardcore for completely forgoing every other aspect of a video game, you're a low IQ consumer with no standards.You should want, and expect, all those things to be good.
>>733696473agree, ninja gaiden lost to dmc not because of gameplay, but because it didn't have the charming characters to carry it to new fans
>>733695527It's the opposite for me. The older I get the less I care to autistically min-max games and try to gameplay max but instead find myself caring to play along with the game and try to roleplay with it instead.
combat only matters in pvp games only
>>733696473kill yourself tranime pedo
>>733694976You've obviously never played a good puzzle game
>>733694976i don't mind these but if you use lengthy cutscenes to deliver them you can fuck off. i don't want to watch a movie with a controller in my hand.
>>733696315Did you think a retard who made such a low effort ragebait thread would respond to any posts?
>>733694976You say that but the clip you posted has insane aura and Ryu has the most aura of any character action protag. Dante loses out because devil trigger isn’t as aura as just being an awesome ninja with the skillz. Bayonetta is too sexy for aura
>>733694976ninja gaiden sucks
Is there an actual falseflag to make Ninja Gaiden fags look back? Every single post showing the gameplay of those in the post almost always has the worst, most whiny, most obnoxious inflammatory bait opinions on /v/. It's almost like you're trying to make the fans of the games look back, because now whenever I see Ninja Gaiden stuff I always assume the poster is a huge fag, like you.
>>733694976Fr fr dough>>733696573The animations in DMC are alot better also like you said with the characters and how over the top insane it looks. Even though the game is alot easier it allows for alot more individual skill expression. All Ninja Gaiden players play the same way.
>>733701623It doesn't always have to be a psy op. It could be some young faggot who thinks he's experienced the pinnacle of gaming because he finally discovered what good games are.
>>733694976Hack and slash or action games don't have good stories, puzzles, dialogue, or settings to begin with, so the gameplay is all there is.
>>733694976If NG had a different story you wouldn't play it. Look how much you bitched about Ryu not being the main character, like story is the most important element of all.
>>733694976But NG was the one franchise know to add cutscenes back in the NES days?
>>733694976>arena is just a box, like every other combat encounter in basically every action game ever made NGtards embarrassing themselves as usual with absolutely fucking zero level design to speak of. even a Kirby game on the NES has more level / encounter design chops than this
Looks like juggleslop.
>>733694976The combat depth in NG only existed for NHB/Sigma. The sad part about NG2 is that 90% of your moveset gets discarded on higher difficulties since you'll have to use the moves with i-frames to survive the barrage of exploding shurikens. The deves were dumb for allowing that kind of spam.
>>733706582Game isn't finished.
>>733694976No goty no play
Urban Reign has the best pure combat found in a vidya game.
>>733694976>Heh, these things don't matter for a game!>Shows a game that does these things really well
NG Sigma >>>>>>>>>>> Marlow Briggs & The Mask Of Death >>>> NG 2 with Black Mod >>> NG 2 Sigma >>> NG 3 Razor's EdgeWon't play 4 because it's Platinumslop.
>>733694976NG is only fun when fighting humanoids the moment they introduce larger enemies it becomes a boring slog.
>>733694976Ok are you gonna post it then?>hold block>flying swallow to move because you must hold block at all times>xyxxxy because it's most damage
>>733694976All good gameplay game need a story or a plot and it could be as braindead as possible but it does need one Ninja gaiden had one and so do monster hunter but it become a problem when plot slow down your gameplay Monster hunter world/wilds are a good example of to much story and plot in a gameplay heavy game
>>733695527Total opposite for me.
>>733695579They are also almost always implemented in a way that distracts from gameplay. Having a short skippable cutscene between stages is all you need, all these walk and talk sections that started with Half-life are utter shit.
>>733694976>combat depth is the only thing that matters in games>also I refuse to play NG4 because of the story, dialog, setting, and characters
>>733709356when does half-life actually take away control from you as a player and has you watch cutscenes, except for that one time the soldiers catched gordon a threw him into the waste pancake machine. I never felt like my gameplay was distracted from by story during half-life.Walk and talk sections? When? In the very beginning maybe, when they prepare you for your extremely dangerous, skill demanding job of pushing a cart, and then shortly before being sent to Xen, but otherwise.
>>733694976The older I get the less I concern myself with mechanical depth. I can appreciate and enjoy it, yeah, but the whole is more important to me than the sum of its parts. I'll play a fucking vanilla-combat RPGmaker game if the story/characters/art grab my attention (eg. Felvidek)
>>733711257Based (but Felvidek sucks)
>>733696263other anon : the only good examples would be horror/mystery games like DarkwoodReturn of the Obra Dinnwhere you would want to read shit cuz the scary game doesn't wanna explain wtf is going onor games from larian studios where you kinda have to read walls of text just to know what your supposed to do
>peope still fall for this shit smegma 2 baitnuke everyone on this board
>>733694976The combat isn't that deep because the enemies can't air juggle you like you can do to them. A single mistake against that many foes should stunlock you.
