I am low-key kinda hating it. There is some clunkiness in the fights and I just can’t get into the flow of the battles. Also some of the mechanic is a bit too similar to SF’s drive system but at this rate, I’ll stick to that :/ I think Terry and Mai play much better in SF6 than here.
I really want to support this, maybe I will purchase it for offline play
No offense to any of my fellow readers, but if you have not heard of this game at all, then it’s probable you don’t follow videogame news too much and, I mean, there is nothing wrong with it. I am actually sick of hearing about this darn project XD FFXV hadn’t released when we started to hear bout it.
Switching to this after the transparency they showed us with the likes of Persona 3 Reload and Metaphor: gaslighting people to think they were exclusives. They are really embracing defeat and I won’t miss these practices.
I am very excited that Housemarque is continuing what they started with Returnal - but also excited for Tides of annihilation and Stellar Balde dlc. A lot promising games on display tbh
@SMJ @PuppetMaster tbh DKC wasn’t goty material even the year it released on Wii. Not calling it bad by any means but I would not even consider it in the same league as Astro Bot.
I am so happy about this and so puzzled it wasn’t announced yesterday. Though I am super happy we get more content for the excellent Lies of P and Stellar Blade
Welp, this is the other Xbox game (with Hi fi rush) I had some interest in - I like arcade racers - might give it a try if you guys say it’s good. I grew up with Sega Rally, Daytona and Ridge Racer
@LogicStrikesAgain They decided it's bad and pushing this narrative so it must be true. Ignore all the reviews.
I didn't even play the game but can get an idea of what the consensus around it is...there are times I don't agree with the general consensus on a game but lately I can see that, in any field of information, facts and logic can be bypassed without a care in the world.
My favorite SNK character ever! Will surely be labbing her for a while - I hope she matches my play style more than Terry, as he took too much thinking and fighting my instinct for me and felt unnatural
I loved it back in the day but I remember A LOT of random encounters! And I remember downloading a popsicle-like weapon for Aika from Dream Arena! And you could feed Fina’s mascot/weapon using the VMU! Good times
One of my favourite action games ever! Lovely mechanics, charismatic lead and lots of SEGA’s history sprinkled on top. It would be lovely if they somehow managed to buy back the publishing rights from Nintendo and were able to bring the second game to PC and other consoles as they did with the Wonderdul 101, huh!
I am super grateful that Nintendo published the sequel when everybody rejected it but I feel like this would do much better as a brand on other platforms.
Number 2 was my favourite!
@SuperSilverback I didn’t mind all the mini games I had to play for the platinum but you know, the best thing about being a woman is the prerogative to have a little fun @LavenderShroud
Sooner or later I will play this darn game. Must be doing something good to piss off all the alt-righters 😛 I found the first one a very emotional but very basic game but maybe the gameplay will be more surprising in the sequel!
@GamingFan4Lyf gotta say that in a generation of endless fill price Nintendo remasters and ports because they couldn’t even manage to maintain the same store system for 2 consoles, the many fee updates and the few 10$ ones are nothing but a good thing 🤷🏼♀️
It’s a really faithful and therefore not very interesting remake - I can totally see why it was ignored. Maybe they should create a category for remasters and 1:1 remakes but otherwise it has absolutely no place with the other nominated games imho.
@ArashiKageTaro you are reducing a game that you probably haven’t played to some ideas in your mind. This speaks more about you than the game itself. We all have hope for you 😘
My initial enthusiasm for the Metaphor slowly simmered down and I had to force myself to finish it. The performance issues and general lack of visual charm of the game didn't help but the real "problems" for me lied on a deeper level.
After being a great supporter of Atlus for years, I find myself kind of over their RPGS. I thought about it and what is getting to me is that the structural elements of their products are far too evident and predictable and I feel like I am going through the motions and repeating a game loop that I can anticipate a little bit to well and hinders any sense of adventure.
There are elements of Metaphor that I commend and the story is somehow entertaining but I hope they can come up with gameplay ideas and structures that feel a little more daring and adventurous and less "I have done my homework" in the coming years.
