Beat em ups are dogshit.
>>12634549I tried getting into them, i cant. They are way too basic, and it seems like they never even teied evolving. The only one game i ever seen that even tries to expand on the beat em up concept in any meaningful way is The Warriors for ps2/xbox
>>12634549I've only played them with a friend
>>12634549They were the "friendslop" of their era. You need to have some bros over for the night, order some pizza, maybe bring a few beers, and then it'll finally click.
>>12634549It was the dark age of arcades games when these were popular
>>12634564Friendslop is an unfair term. Just because a game focused on multiplayer over 1P doesn't make it slop.
>>12634560>I've only played them with a friendOP in shambles. Crying, pissing and shitting himself while planning to make 15 more beat em up threads to disprove this.
>>12634549They're fun with friends but for a single-player experience they're not mechanically deep enough
fookin sheit
I won't say SOR4 is the first good beat em up because Double Dragon arcade still rocks. Final Fight and Konami however put beat em ups into a hole that they almost never recovered from.
>>12634549>Beat em ups le baddidn't you make this same thread 3 times in 1 week already?
>>12634828yes. and?
>>12634832You should try getting some friends instead of continuing to complain about multiplayer games.
>>12634549>oh look a cheese strategy in a now 30+ year old video gameAlso that's using autofire Final Fight is a two button game.
for me it's the brutal opening of Double Dragon II
>>12634832Have you ever thought about talking about something you do like?
>>12634660I think it's always been a troll term since its inception
>>12634549I can't believe this violent thug ever became mayor.
>>12634564It was a lot of fun when a bunch of randoms at the arcade all came together.
>>12634660It's a valid term. Most principles of game design break when you have multiple people. And pvp boils down to RPS + execution barrier
>>12634549No that is just Final Fight's problem. Play better beat em ups.
>>12634556all arcade games are basic, just admit you are bad at them
>>12636409I am bad at them, but i also dont like them. Im bad at light gun games but i like then
>>12634853>friendswhat are you, 12?grown ass man caring about friends
>>12634549Beat em ups are not dogshit, they're Beat em ups.
