action brochachos watcha playan?
All games are action games because forward progression only happens with player input. Call a spade a spade, these are hack 'n' slash games which is really a catch-all to describe 3D beat 'em ups. Of course, none of you have played Urban Reign so it doesn't matter that all of these games have depth on par with a fucking musou.
>>744601736>DMC, Ninja Gaiden and BayonettaThe "big three" and they all peaked with their first game. What a shit genre.
don't sleep on nier
Nioh 3; beat the game this weekend and spared the brother. Will wait until next year to buy the two DLC (hopefully the season pass will be on sale by December).Thinking about buying Wuchang (Beast of Reincarnation's reception seem to ne mixed). Someone from my family group got Stellar Blade so I could just play that.
>>744602110Was Nioh 3 your first Nioh game? I want to try them but I don't like Ki pulsing.
>>744602094Are the enemies ever going to do anything interesting? Or at least not be slow as dirt.
I've been playing NG2 daily since the start of this year.
>>744602184idk, ponching robots feels good don't over think it
>>744602110Soulslikes don't belong in this thread
>>744602184That's 'debug' mode which is built into the base game. You can unlock it with a 100% save file and spawn up to 20 taunted up extremely aggressive robots. But you'll probably get 1 shotted and have to spam dodge.
>>744602152No; I've played all the three games. It's ine of my favorite franchises.Don't bother if you don't want to deal with the Ki pulse mechanic.
>>744601736Warriors Abyss. Seriously dangerously addicting game. Been trying to get into more musou and shit so I think I'll grab a couple cheap ones for my PS2.Will probably get the Nioh 3 DLC, might wait a couple days to see how it is and the new weapon.Looking forward to Phantom Blade Zero and The Last Ronin and Dynasty Warriors 3 Remaster.>>744602257Have you completed Master Ninja yet?I went on an NG kick and just grinded out the series really hard, completed NGB on all difficulties and then immediately started 2 but I ended up being pretty burnt out on NG after I started my Master Ninja of 2 so I took a break from it.Which weapon is your favorite in 2? I probably like the True Dragon Sword the most, but Lunar Staff and Falcon Talons are so fucking clutch and necessary to me on Master Ninja as you progress through the earlier chapters
How does Rise of the Ronin plays? I have my eye on that one too.
Beat Homura Hime recently. It was okay. Tried to do too many things from other games without thinking about the overall design. For example, they put in the danmaku stuff from Nier along with a bullet shooting shoulder companion yet you cannot melee and fire at the same time. So that basically means the fire and forget shot you get later in the game is the only useful one in regular combat. They took dodge offset from Bayonetta, yet your combo enders are so long that it doesn't matter. There's a reason why wicked weaves existed like they did. There's just no way you can get your big damage finishers fully off before you have to parryslop again. If you get it on sale it's pretty decent though.
>>744601973urban reign is a coinflip simulator where>you have to hard guess what throw is about to be done to you, unlike tekken there's no slightly different animation 95% of the time just guess>you have to guess when the enemy is going to tech out of your combo and full punish you, unlike irl fighting games it's just an AI doing shit at random so there's no subconcious pattern or habits you can predict like against a person>playing safe is heavily discouraged because every single fight is comically against you by either surrounding you with guys or having you against a guy with 50 times your healthbar, so you can't just poke eitherit's a fun fighting game against other players, but it's glorified arcade mode it calls a single player is just scam or be scammed. this is where you post a cherrypicked clip where things line up and/or the guy has memorized the AI's habits and found a sequence the AI isn't programmed to counter
>>744602605Oh, I bought it first day but haven't touched it yet; I was busy with Code Vein 2 and kind of forgot about it. I think I should jump into that one instead of Wuchang or Stellar Blade.
>Jennifer English isn't playing Gwendolyn in Tides of Annihilation anymoreProfound Sadness!
The developers revealing that they took inspiration from DMC2 for Control Resonant is the funniest thing I've heard about in a while. Be aware of who you pretend to be because it's who will you turn into.
>>744602848It's only about 8ish hours long so yeah might as well get Homura out of the way.
>>744601736Fate MusuoZelda Musuo
>>744602529>Have you completed Master Ninja yet?Yes, I completed it some years ago but I completed it again like twice this year. I like all weapons but my favorites are the sythhe, tonfa and kusarigama.
>>744603069But not now. I let my hands rest for a couple weeks between action games to not burn out (and because I have carpal tunnel syndrome on my dominant hand).
>>744603028>The developers revealing that they took inspiration from DMC2 for Control ResonantNo fucking way
>>744603242>Fate MusuoSamurai Remnant or Extella?
finished wo long the other day, fun game overall wish it was a little harder tho
>>744604953I'm on the Heavenly Dragon difficulty and the difficulty is starting to feel pretty good now, although it took a little while to get here. I think there's one more difficulty above Heavenly Dragon.
>>744604776The one with buzz lightyear
>>744603028>>744604457Really not the worst place to look for inspiration.
>>744605787Depends on if they're looking at the gameplay for inspiration I guess. Because if they are, grim.The art-direction and soundtrack in 2 are pretty great though.
Don't sleep on Crisis Core
>>744603028>we were inspired by the game about a city being taken over by an occult corporation to the point the very objects and buildings are twisted into demonic beings in our game based on SCPits a pretty natural comparison. just because dmc2 has the worst execution in the history of video games doesn't mean it's base concepts aren't good. it just needed a completely different dev team and better hardware then the PS2
