I am finally playing Viewtiful Joe for the first time and it completely lives up to the hype. It is more accessible than DMC 1 without sacrificing any of the depth. I haven't played all of Kamiya's games yet, but this is by far my favorite currently.
>>11511265DAVIDSON IS IN THE HOUSE (HULK DAVIDSON IS BORN TO BE WILD)/10
>>11511265To this day I still can't beat the boss rush
>>11511265its definitely the best kamiya game besides the (non retro) w101
>>11511290You don't like Okami?
>>11511290I feel similarly
>>11511309I love it for the presentation and comfy factor but gameplay wise its too basic and repetitive. definitely not as fun as OP or tw101 which have really creative and fun combat
You inspired me to start a Sylvia run. Forgot how beautiful this game is
>>11511281>mfw Fire Leo fights
>>11511265Everytime I go to Retro stores I always see it and it looks bad ass
>>11511576the fact there were 4 different characters, each with their own cutscenes, dialogue and game mechanics was incredibly SOULFUL. these days it would be a paid dlc for 1/2 more characters with half the effort put in.its too bad sylvia takes double damage, shit is rough for an already difficult game.
>>11511796It's cool how the game has like 4/5 different characters but the only ones really worth a damn are Blue and Dante. Silvia doesn't really change the gameplay at all and Alastor's Devil Trigger gimmick is a huge pain in the ass.
>>11511796Unlocking alt characters used to be a bigger thing in the 6th gen. It definitely is the epitome of soul.
>>11511279HULK'S HEADIN' TO THE BIG HOUSE... you little... punk!
>>11511796>the fact there were 4 different characters, each with their own cutscenes, dialogue and game mechanics was incredibly SOULFUL. these days it would be a paid dlc for 1/2 more characters with half the effort put in.Thanks for reminding me what a goddamned scam VJ2 was.
>>11512458With Kamiya working with Crapcom again I'm really hoping they let him get another pass at VJ2 some day instead of just doing a straight port. I don't think it's a bad game overall but a lot of its design is just dumb and it's missing all of the extras 1 had, it really feels like it would be easy to turn it into a game that's actually as good as 1 was.
>>11511279oh shit its DAVIDSONand hes inspecting real estate
>>11512937Eh, 2's over and done. I'd rather Kamiya finally give us that VJ3 he's been teasing since the beginning.
>>11512998unlockable bayo or I sleep
>>11512998They will probably want to do a cheap VJ 1+2 remaster to rake in some $ before VJ3.
>>11514604That's fine. It's been long enough that a series refresher would be expected before starting with the new entry.
>>11513003I really hope she isn't in it.
This game is too hard for me at a certain point. Maybe I should try again on baby difficulty if I wasn't playing that already
This is definitely a game I like to play, and then when I get close to beating a level, turn it off so I can try and do the episode again but better.
>>11515839>abuse slowdown to dodge attacks>abuse slowdown+zoom in combo to deal the most damagegame becomes much much easier once you realize these two things
>>11511281I came to post this.
So this game has proto witch time? Nice.It's one of those games I really need to play, along with the sequel.
>>11515839Personally the hardest part of the game is just how absolutely tight your money is for upgrades on a new save file, it's really hard to balance buying enough health to take hits and buying moves you need to do combos or find secrets. I honestly wouldn't even blame someone for doing a run on easy just to afford some upgrades before really playing through normal.
died at least 1000 times to this flaming faggot. great game
>>11511265I remember getting the game after years of hype and then filtered by first helicopter boss. Had to switch on easy mode after 30+ attempts and that soiled the game for me hardFrom my experience, every Kamiya's game is like that. You either get into the flow or you don't and you get blueballed. Every time.
>>11517784That is how I felt with DMC 1. I was hard filtered and never went back.For some reason, I was able to power through and really enjoy Viewtiful Joe. The first helicopter boss almost completely filtered me, so I get your pain. It all just clicked for me eventually though.
>>11517784my first time playing I died a million times to helicopter and hulk davidson and pretty much every other boss. but once you know the "trick" to beating them its so easy. its almost like a puzzle game
i nolifed the hell out viewtiful joei had to check gamefaqs to refresh my memory, but my favorite character to play was sylvia and i was racking up higher scores with her for some reason, but i unlocked them unlocked them all, and when i unlocked captain blue and he didn't have the hit markers, i was like fuck this, i'm done playing itthere was something about this hilarious about this game. one of my brother just sucks at vidya since he was born and he got filtered by the first level so hard that he literally threw the game in the trash and i was like what the fuck, i know you're the one who bought it but you know i've been obsessed with this thing, why don't you just let me keep it, and he said he almost snapped the disc in half
>>11511265>he got filtered by the fucking helicopterlmao how is this even possible? slow mo makes it crash on the ground and go boom. thats it you beat it
>>11517846>slow mo makes it crash on the ground and go boomIt doesn't?...Slow mo makes it's propeller spin slower so it won't hurt you when you punch it. And you have to punch its missiles back while they're slowed so they will damage the boss.
>>11517846For me, it took me a few tries to learn, but I did get there.
>>11517851if you wait until the helicopter is stationary (blades are black and not spinning red) the helicopter will fall to the ground and take damage if you activate slowmo, nothing else is required. you can also uppercut one of the henchman into the copter to make it fall. punching the missiles only does a small amount of damage, as does jumping into the air and attacking that way.
>>11517862I forgot, keeping slow mo on while the missiles blow up actually does a lot of damage. point is theres many ways to beat the sucker.
