>entire game is just "press X to awesome">/v/ has zero qualms with thisYou guys aren't at all consistent, you know.
It's what CC2 does for the most part. The original .hack games are really the only ones where you aren't doing that 90% of the time.
Asura's Wrath is really fucking awesome anime, so it gets a pass
>>746084713This is an obscure PS3 game that came out in 2011
yeah but it's really awesome
>>746084803>obscureIn what timeline?
>>746084779>>746084831Meaning "press X to awesome" is not a problem if it's actually awesome, so you don't have an issue with the idea, but with the quality of its execution.
>>746084713Because the awesome resulting from that X-press IS awesome.
>>746084868Good QTE's heighten the spectacle, AW wouldn't be as memorable if you weren't mashing while Asura does 10000 punches in 10 seconds
>>7460848402026
>>746084713The difference between Asura and modern games is that Asura is honest about what it is.It doesn't fancy itself as "the schindler's list of videogames" it doesn't smarmily pretend to be deep, it doesn't even pretend to be nothing more than an interactive movie.And at least it actually uses fun gimmicks and shows you cool shit instead of "hold up to slowly walk and talk to your wife's son".>>746084868Well yeah, if you are not offering me mechanical complexity at least offer me a spectacle. That's why old gow was awesome and nu gow sucks ass, they're both casualized hack n slash with tons of barely interactive sequences but one has an angry dude screaming and wrestling a hydra, the other has boar carrying action.
>>746087657speaking of asura and kratos the Death Battle was a big robbery. what kratos has "in theory" is shit asura shows on screen
>>746084713I played/finished this game earlier this year. It was pretty good
>>746087703I think we can all agree Death Battle is garbage.
>PS3>press X to fight gods in amazing over the top hype anime style>PS5>prexx X to slowly walk with your wife and talk about your feelings with your sonWhat went so wrong with Playstation?
>>746087852Yeah but this one was especially bad in how much they stretched stuff to help kratos, using real greek mythology to upscale him while not doing the same to asura (it would've upscaled him even more).
>>746084713>/v/ is one person
>>746084713ah yes because we are all one person
>>746088008>upscale>kgb imagelmfao
>>746088028>>746088074/v/ is an insular echo-chamber, so you might as well be.
>>746087975they wanted to get non gamers on board and thought gamers would by everything regardless of what it is
>>746084713funny you complain about lack of consistency but consistency is exactly why that game works.faggot
>>746088204>kgbWouldn't KB be a better shortening for kagurabachi, where does the G come from?
>>746087703>Asura is literally breaking planets in half and parrying suns during his final boss fight>Kratos is supposed to fight that and winDeath Battle in general is shit, but this one was so bad it looped back into being funny
>>746084713/v/ seems to have a soft spot for the angry punchy no nonsense type of characters
>>746084713Asura for MVC4
>>746088298kaGURAbachi
>>746089848No, you see, kratos shook yggdrasil and ygdrasil is all of reality so that means kratos punch is high multiversal. He also covered his eyes from a source of light that means he's faster than light so his punch is even stronger!
>>746084713>press x to awesome (bad)>it's bad>press x to awesome (it's actually awesome)>it's goodit's a mystery
>>746084713>when Yasha's theme kicks inhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlY2_Hx2pDc
>>746084713>QTE in shit games>10 minutes long ass cutscene where you stop paying attention, suddenly a disjointed QTE kills you with a random button. Can't even skip cutscenes because they want to force you to press random buttons.>Movie games>1 hour long ass cutscene where you don't touch the controller>Assura's Wrath>Non stop button mashing, failing a QTE doesn't kill you and just change the cutsceneIf I started Resident Evil or fucking Bayonetta, I want to play a game, cutscenes suck hard on repeated playthrough and the QTE suck even harder.
it sold poorly so we pretend it was good
>>746084713I tried playing this a couple weeks ago and I was bored to tears. It's all spectacle with no substance. It would've been better as a movie for how barely interactive it is.
>>746094072I always assumed the words were Kagura Bachi. KB is better I think, but KGB is pretty funny.
>>746095206KB was Kill Blue.
>>746091131they are the most relatable protag, because fuck i too would like to beat the shit out of a lot of my problems
>>746084713>buy DLC to get the ending
>>746084713does it emulate well or do the qte's get fucked over by emulator latency?
>>746095437>kill blueNever heard of that one. I'm pretty normalfag when it comes to current anime and manga news.>>746098916Apparently that was caused by wanting to make a sequel at first. When the game flopped they instead made the continuation a dlc.>>746098987You might have to jump through a few hoops but it works decently enough. Maybe it will make S rankings much harder but you can play it through start to finish.
Why can't they remaster this? Why is it stuck on old consoles?
>>746084868Yes. Imagine if you literally just pressed X to awesome and then Asura said "did that just happen? Am I that freaking strong" without you having to learn any timings. it would be shit
>>746099356It can be played on series X/S through the store, got it for a couple bucks on discount
>>746084713love this game, wish combat was better though
>>746094129You should see the latest one, a lego character knocked an item into the horizon and it made a sky twinkle so he beat a guy with an explicit planet level attack
>>746084713If it feels fun, specialized, or unique? It's cool. If it feels like a formulaic, pretentious, boring, safe piece of shit without any emotion, creativity, or individuality? It sucks.>>746084868Yes.
