Re: Resident Evil 3 - Competent Remake Feels Like a Misfire

Expa0

I think it speaks volumes how they made this game barely a year after the RE2 remake, it's just classic Capcom, they make something succesful and then they try to immediatedly capitalize with half hearted efforts. I'm expecting a new Devil May Cry announcement soon.

Re: Dissidia Final Fantasy NT's Final Update Set for March, No Sequel Planned

Expa0

I'm going to be the first to admit that I didn't even give this game a chance and never intend to. The 3v3 aspect of it was such a huge turnoff and from what I hear they skimmed on features big time compared to the PSP Dissidia duodecim in favor of pushing the online. I would love to get something like similar to Duodecim again some day, that game was so incredibly packed with content and even had large amounts of stuff to do just for single player.

Re: Hands On: Persona 5 Royal Is So Much More of 2017's Game of the Year

Expa0

I loved Persona 5 and yeah, I'd say it was my goty for 2018, which was the year I played it in, but honestly I don't really think I'm ready to replay it quite this soon. Also I feel Persona is so reliant on its story that I don't think it's particularly suitable for replays unfortunately just in general.

Re: SoulCalibur VI Season 2 Begins Next Week With Huge Free Update and DLC Character Hilde

They've added the extra CaS parts from season 1 at this point right? I dropped SC6 pretty quick after realizing that the CaS was a downgrade from the one in SC5 in terms of how many parts there were but if it's gotten better since then it might be worth checking. Did they confirm if the Season 2 DLC would include any extra CaS parts aside from whatever minor stuff that comes with the characters themselves?

Re: Persona 5 Royal Reveals 'My Palace' Mode, Previous Persona Protagonists as DLC Bosses

Tsk, tsk Atlus. As good as their games are it's a shame they're up there as one of the most DLC crazed companies there are. I don't think super bosses should ever be DLC by itself unless they come together with a substantial new dungeon or something. And I'd say it's even worse here since the game is already an enchanced version, forcing you to buy a whole new game and you can't simply update the old game with the new content.

Re: Guide: Best PS4 Fighting Games

I found the new Tekken to be a massive disappointment, Soul Calibur a bit too but not quite as much. The super moves completely ruin the Tekken gameplay for me.

King of Fighters 14 is my personal favorite PS4 fighting game.

Re: Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection - Old School Konami Kicks

Expa0

As a big Castlevania fan I've been waiting for an opportunity to try out Haunted Castle...

And honestly I didn't think it was nearly as bad as people have made it out to be. The first runthrough was kinda painful but after doing that and watching a good no-damage playthrough I can go through the game on normal difficulty without too much hassle and in the end I had quite a bit of fun with it, my ears in particular enjoyed it, seriously that soundtrack is gold.

Also got enjoyment out of Gradius 1, 2 and Life Force and whatever the last game of the collection was called.

The oldest shooter in the collection, Twinbee, and the pretend 3Dish shooter I didn't really care about.

I hope Konami keeps up with these collections, they may not be able to make new games anymore but if they make their old stuff readily available like this then they do have my respect and money (Suikoden collection, make it happen, oh and Vandal Hearts too!). Really looking forward to the Castlevania collection as well.

Re: SoulCalibur VI - The Best Since SoulCalibur II

Expa0

I got the game yesterday and personally so far I'm unimpressed, the character customization just feels more limited and barebones compared to the one in SC5. Libra of Souls is dull as hell with endless streams of text that doesn't really seem to amount to much of anything. Haven't tried the other story mode yet, but the two things I was most excited for with the game were both strikes for me unfortunately.

Re: Kingdom Hearts III's PS4 Box Art Is Fit for a King

Expa0

It does look quite nice, don't have much interest in the game though. I've found every single KH after the first one average to straight out bad, also Nomura storytelling & dialogue just doesn't do it for me.

Will be listening to the soundtrack though definitely.
