Re: Tekken 8 Season 3 Backlash Somehow Even Worse Than Season 2, Game Gets Review Bombed

MichaelNau

@PuppetMaster
I don't think drive rush can be removed as it's a core feature.
Reworked however...
Like the freeze frame eating your input us still partially there and I think it's too cheap for 1 bar, given all the advantages it's giving you.

Also, some characters desperately need it to compensate their weaknesses, others seem to be in a state of "win more"

But, overall, I'm "on your side" and think the game was very well tuned from the start (no fighting is perfectly balanced), thus making any potential changes either toned down or drastic

Granblue Versus is another exemple of another very well balanced game IMHO

@GirlVersusGame
I guess the cynical explanation is that pressing charges would have been very bad PR with very little return anyway.

Ruthless... Yeah probably. We, my circle of friends, often wonder what it would take do such jobs and it seems like it's less about doing the job than getting it.

How reaching those heights (politics, hight stake jobs etc.) seems to require you to reach a very peculiar state of mind.

As far as habits go,I am mostly bothered by how we (French) tend to rank files by days, months and years instead of the other way around... I am the one renaming every files on the cloud

Re: 'You've Got to Be Joking': Street Fighter 6 Fans Rage at Slow Rollout of Skins

MichaelNau

I, too, would wish for more skins in a shorter amount of time.
However, as many already said, you can''t rush quality.

Also, as a whole package, I find SF6 to be quite phenomenal in fact (I'm also one of those few who actually really enjoy the soundtrack).

Aaaand, I find it a little bit funny to hear/read complaints about not having enough cosmetic micro transactions when, in any other context, people would swear on everything they love that "gameplay comes first" and micro transactions are bad for full priced game

@MFTWrecks
Sounds about right too.
However, I really like the tension in Sifu.
When you're in the zone, it's beautifull but, lose it and you're getting wrecked and I think it really gels a Legendary seasoned assassin

Re: Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls: All Confirmed Characters and Stages

@MrPeanutbutterz
Agreed.
"Back in the days"... Well, there was no character/balance patches dlc and you had to buy a whole new game the next year or so.
I'm not sure anyone really miss buying the samey game full price every year because it added 2 characters and the word "super" or "pro" or whatever to it's title

@MrPeanutbutterz
If you have a passion for Street Fighter, I highly recommand the book called "Like A hurrican", a book version of a long running piece that formerly appeared on polygon called "the oral history of street fighter 2".
It's pretty cool.

Also, less specific, but still Capcom centric, there is a "key arts book" that's gorgeous with cover arts from, I think, all of their games.

Re: Sony's PS5 Fighter Marvel Tokon Confirms 20 Characters at Launch, Single Player 'Episode' Mode

MichaelNau

@DennisReynolds
I understand your pov but, also, bear in mind that this, unlike traditional tag fighters, can be played using 1 character only, using the other 3 for assist.
They all share the sale life gauge.
I suspect many people will learn one main with an optimum team assist and one counter pick, just in case, at most.

Besides, your team assemble throughout the rounds, you don't get them all at first.

Last, but not least, ArcSyd games tend not to have characters overlapping much due to each one having some sort of unique mechanics or system.

So, 20 to learn (moves, match ups, assist etc.) is plenty at launch already imho.

To me, it's more like 20 new characters times 4 possible rôles plus combinations.

Re: Awesome Beat-'Em-Up Absolum Slaps February Release Date on Huge PS5 Patch

I know it's a bit shameful, but I have yet to play the Witcher 3.
I remember playing the second Witcher and liking it enough to do a second run in hard mode but, I also realized that, while I liked the game in itself, I had no particular love for Geralt or the world and, somehow, didn't feel like spending hours with them.

I won't lie, I kind of have regrets.
I might try to correct this with that Ciri centric opus coming.
I did enjoy Cyberpunk though (even though FPS are not my thing) and plan on doing a second run now that it's supposedly in its final form.

Back in the day, when I was playing on Xbox 360, I remember finishing the first Mass Effect about 20 times because, I realized I wanted a save with each classes and you had to finish the game 3 times, if you wanted to max Paragon or Renegade at 12 lol. Those were pre back log days

@AhmadSumadi
I'm a bit jealous you managed to embrace to your platinum duties like this.
I, on the contrary, usually find it to be a bore to platinum a game a second time lol.

I hear you for Absolum.
It's, however, 100% worth its price tag I think, even more so if you've got a friend to play it with ^^

TBH, Absolum and Streets Of Rage raised the bar so high for beat them up that it's hard for me to find another one to be appealing. Even games from Tribute (TMNT, Marvel Cosmic...) which should be exactly what I dream about don't appear as sexy as they should IMHO.

Re: Game of the Year: #1 - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

MichaelNau

I am ok with E33 being considered GOTY.
Loved the game.
I am just a bit sad Citizen Sleeper 2 seemingly disapeared from the collective mind.
This game and its prequel offered incredible writings, artworks and a subtile but very appropriate moody music imho
