Cyberpunk 2077 had a different but somewhat familiar situation to this where towards the release of the game CDPR secretly changed the genre from RPG to Action Adventure.
I highly doubt that they're going to be replacing the old gameplay style considering the fact that they're remaking all three games like that would be a ***** ton of work.
@Scottyy That's what I thought as well. Once it switched over to the actual gameplay it looked kind of cheap. I'm hoping the gameplay is interesting though.
@Dogbreath Old ND excuse pioneered off of TLOU1? I don't know if I believe that since it's been demonstrated multiple times through gameplay and cutscenes that he isn't average but I guess that was a PS3 thing. I played TLOU1 back in the PS4 era and never thought it was laggy or sluggish and waaay less compared to SH2 for that matter lol.
Anyways you do make a fair point, but James running is just simply there for balancing purposes which I think is fine as long as they're aren't barely jogging like Fatal Frame 4. I do agree though that it could've been shortened by a lot and I believe that the main issue was the "content" that was added by Bloober mainly in the prison and labyrinth was just, "Hey you gotta pick up these items in each of these rooms that are filled with enemies before you can do the actual puzzle itself." If that issue was fixed I think it would be much better paced.
Honestly for the enemies I struggled a bit and not from the controls but because they'd throw me off with delayed attacks or tanking through my hits to hit me. One of them that I actively avoid or shoot on sight is the nurses with knives. I could never once get an idea how to properly dodge their attacks since they are so rapid and spammy with their attacks lol.
@Dogbreath You're an average person, not a war veteran so it feeling sluggish is how it should feel and especially in a survival horror game. Also rarely do I ever utilize 180° features in games(Usually because I forget it's a thing, but it's also disorienting) and have never had an issue with turning around quickly in this game. If you're getting ambushed that badly then I don't think you're clearing rooms properly.
@Dogbreath The combat in 2Remake was some of the best feeling combat in a SH I have no idea what you're talking about. The impact of hits and reaction of enemies getting hit made it incredibly satisfying to beat down enemies. The only issue I had with combat in SH2R was that there was too much of it during the prison and labyrinth. If those areas were reduced in enemy density it would be perfect. Walking sims for me are just boring because there's no fails or fear of death so any tension and scares is thrown out the window because I know I can't die.
Hype, hype, hype! I'm not sure I'll be interested in Townfall since it will most likely be a walking sim but I'm interested in something new that isn't a remake.
I'll certainly come back for those 10 star fights and the expansion. That Gogmazios update was probably the most disappointing monster fight for me in this series because he looked so damn cool... only to find out that he's mostly a gimmick fight. Wilds has been pretty frustrating for me and I hope the expansion comes in swinging hard with its difficulty like with the Omega fight.
@ShogunRok That's why I love Lost Judgement, that game had such a fun secondary melee combat style and it is a shame that it seems like they're over with that series :/
@QiaraIris Gaiden is so far the onyl Yakuza game I played and never beat because of how annoying the gameplay was and I'm pretty sure I was towards the end of the game too.
Yeah Im still not liking the sound of the melee weapons being part of fighting styles. Would have much preferred them just bringing back the styles from 0 tbh.
I'll most likely not be getting it still due to the devs for whatever reason keep retconning the story in uninteresting ways. Honestly I might be done with new Yakuza games and go for Nagoshi's Gang of Dragons.
@FPSfan1337 SHf plays smooth most of the time but the moment you reach town again during the objective of returning to hinako's house it just frameskips like crazy.
@ear_wig Yeah I don't really like it either, but this is the director who doesn't want his horror game to be "too scary" so this is what you're getting.
@4fold Yeah I saw the leaked adjustments to the story and now I'm not so sure about buying the game. Yakuza has really gone downhill ever since Nagoshi left. :/
Much better feel in combat than the original which I couldn't stand for more than 10 minutes, although I did not like the weapon combat style they gave to Kiryu. Just felt off putting and would have much preferred something similar to Yakuza 0's combat styles.

Re: Tekken 8 Season 3 Gameplay Balance Goes 'Back to Basics' as Kunimitsu, Bob, and Roger Return
@PuppetMaster Then just add in the combo length of 5 and 6 with damage scaling, would that not solve the problem?
Re: Tekken 8 Season 3 Gameplay Balance Goes 'Back to Basics' as Kunimitsu, Bob, and Roger Return
@PuppetMaster I doubt that they were as long as this and getting a long combo is easy asf here due to the heat system in this game.
Re: Tekken 8 Season 3 Gameplay Balance Goes 'Back to Basics' as Kunimitsu, Bob, and Roger Return
If the combos do get shortened I'll be happy. It makes no sense for them to be that long in short matches such as this
