@Recover20 I haven't got Loucha yet still farming crystals but defo need him as I only have Yukong(useless) for imaginary at the moment. Welt is needlessly elusive.
I wonder what they are going to do with the limited banners for the ps5 release. Hopefully they re run them on all platforms as missing out on Selee turned out to be a devastating omission on my part.
Ninja Storm with JJK skins? Pass An action adventure horror through their city would have been much better. They built a whole Konoha village you could explore and they can't do that for this?
Bungie should drop this and focus more on destiny. There's been no new content for pvp in years (so i'm told by veteran clan members) I started playing some point last year and bought the year pass for light fall and have caught up to everything. The weekly drip of season pass content took a sharp decline when season of the deep came out. Clearly their efforts and resources are being spent elsewhere. And for those who don't know destiny is not free 2 play. It's free to try. Free means access to everything which this is not.
I play Honkai and there is a system where you can use other players characters for certain item farm missions. One of the top characters was on the premium pull and you only had a couple of weeks to unlock her. To get her you needed to do 90 pulls to get a higher chance of 5* character. You could not get that amount with the free tickets, you had to spend cash as it was something dumb like 0.6% chance of pulling a 5* and 50% chance that 5* was the featured character. The character is so OP that you can pretty much use her to solo most fights. And only the whales or those the rng gods sided with unlocked the character. Still a fun game though but very short as only 1.5 levels are out at the moment.
@Coolmusic I hope it doesn't but seeing as they are the only ones to make a successful DC universe game WB will probably redirect their efforts to assist Gunn.
Hmm..I'm getting the feeling we might not see another injustice but some kind of "we want our games to tie in to our Gunn movie verse" nonsense. I really hope i'm totally wrong.
You could buy new character intro animations from the Krypt in Mk11 i'm guessing it will be the same with this. Dunno about the specific voice lines though. Would be nice if you unlocked new ones after reaching certain points in the story modes or after completing arcade mode.
So Onimusha style enemies mixed with Okami and shrine priestess exorcism dance moves...pass. I hope it does well so they feel more confident and remake Onimusha. They should really survey their fan base for remake requests like they did with the RE series.
Kameo is defo MvC2's mechanic, dunno why Mr Boon tried to make it sound like an original idea. Good to finally see a non desolate or dreary map in Mk. I fully expect them to micro transaction the s**t out of the kameos.
This looks sweet, i'm hoping the release date is mentioned with the July character reveal. Anyone know why there's rarely any fighting games on the epic store?
FF15 and 7 remake both took over a decade to release after being mentioned and "shown off". I'll be giving the Chinese devs benefit of the doubt till they're at the 15 yr mark. There's plenty of really good games out and coming out within that time frame to keep me occupied. Leaving my hype on simmer for now.
Pretty fun and the main boss fights are intense. It does suck that sometimes the difficulty scales insanely just because I didn't get a gacha roll with the required element at that point when all else fails I just use Natasha and Clara.
@twinspectre90 Majority of games have dumb AI due to their limited animation sets and skill trees it's how games are built. Fighting games on the other hand AI has the same available skills as the player.
Don't they do a few of these shows each year? So they probably have more decent stuff to show later. Only games of interest on display to me were Spidey 2 and Phantom blade (which will probably never see the light of day). I'm on an ff16 trailer ban so it can all be fresh for when I play in the coming months.
Cool cg trailer, any leaked gameplay footage floating around online or news on when we can expect to see some? Probably in the next couple of months before the beta I guess. The new assist sounds like the old Marvel vs Capcom assist. This is probably how they keep the roster from the old timeline or get fans to vote for which assist character they would like to be fully playable. If that's the case I'd welcome it.
Honkai Star Rail for me. At lv 32 trailblazer and still haven't rolled Seele or Himeko Rng curse is back again. Also finishing off the guardian games and working on new solar builds (R.I.P Starfire) in Destiny 2.
Imagine if we only get 7 characters just like the original. I wouldn't mind if each character had a lot of moves and variations like an actual martial artist would aka tekken/soul calibur characters combined. Individual fleshed out full length character story campaigns would also be welcome.
Disney and WB have pretty much ended my love for superheroes so I'm not interested in this anymore as it will probably be more of the same vanilla story nonsense they've been force feeding us for the last decade. Read some people complain about the fighting being too "Arkham like" but that's more how spiderman fights than batman as I could never reconcile him unrealistically sliding halfway across the screen to backhand counter an enemy. That kept ruining the game for me as felt like a bug. In any case I'd much rather see/play 2099 spiderman or a zombieverse setting but they'd never do that as videogames are a business and entertainment is a secondary byproduct.
FF8 is still no1 for me. It came out in my angsty teenage years when I also had exams to do just like the brilliant SEED tests. One of the few titles in the series (if not only) that tested and rewarded your knowledge on the enemies, lore and mechanics. Can't believe XV scored so low that was an awesome game, also paved the way for the new gameplay mechanics that will be the norm for ff games moving forward. If at all possible please redo this after we have had a chance to play 16 I would very much like to partake in the voting next time around.
@throwmeaname the gacha name is from the east Asian hand cranking toy vending machine. Sorta the equivalent of kinder surprise over here. Pay some money for a random toy and in this case character. though you get lots of free tickets in the game at the mo not sure if that will still be the case further down the line.
@get2sammyb You're right its definitely on par with full priced JRPG's and if you're lucky to have a good rng like I'm currently experiencing (first time ever), you'll have more 5 star characters than you know what to do with.
@Samholy so far honkai doesn't seem as much as a time sink as genshin. The game feels more "compact". With genshin I'd be running around for an hr or so before doing any main quest. With honkai the main quests are always a few steps away... so far anyway.
@twitchtvpat That is the main topic of discussion. The fact that the base game was so incomplete they received massive backlash and still got away with charging for DLC twice.
@twitchtvpat To my knowledge there are 3 sfv versions. Base, arcade edition and championship edition. Each being sold at full price at their points of release.
@Korgon Yea I watched the world tour videos and it does boast more content than other similar modes previously attempted in the genre but I would not purchase it if it was marketed and sold as a standalone rpg hence my comments of it having rpg "elements". Even though it looks like fun i'd much rather the world tour was with the main characters (similar to shaolin monks) but that's a tall order. I'd defo wait 10 yrs for that though. I'm glad there are fans excited for sf6 as it shows they are still releasing desirable content but as someone who has been a life long fighting/action game fan unfortunately my expectations have exceeded what they now produce. I will be taking a wait and see approach with this.
@huyi Yea I remember E honda being dlc and was not pleased with that either. I don't think capcom know of any lessons to learn. They go by what consumers do and if we keep buying each version of the same game and the dlc they will see it as a win and keep taking liberties cause all they have to do is an apology and a payed update and the masses praise them for their efforts again and again.
@Korgon Konquest mode was probably the best that could be done on older hardware within their budget and time constraints. It's a pretty safe bet that if they include such a mode in the next Mk it would be far superior. Even the crypt mode in Mk11 was pretty darn good except for being devoid of life (random ghost attacks don't count). Not sure how many rpg's you have played but this is far from a complete rpg. From what I've seen it has rpg "elements" and the majority of what was shown was cosmetic options which will probably receive backlash on their pricing. With regards to the dlc, yes it is just speculation on my part but all it takes is one bad actor to crack the game on pc (I do not condone this behavior) for that to be confirmed one way or another so only time will tell.
@stinkyx It's not about price it's about content and yes I will be waiting till the completed version is out. There are more than enough games to enjoy till then.
@Korgon Other fighting games have had versions of "world tour" modes for decades now. Mk, Soul calibur and even Guilty gear X. Not placing blame for capcom not leading the the charge on those fronts but from their track record I am convinced this is not going to be the only version of SF6. That's what I meant by "incomplete". The game is not even shippped and they are announcing the first batch of DLC. I'm sure those characters are already made and are behind the timed release pay wall. DLC was supposed to be for patches and fine tuning now it's a way for devs to milk consumers.
@WallyWest I'm an old gamer and when DLC first became an option I was all up for it and that was exactly what I thought would be the case with SF4 and then 5 but I was fooled both times. It is highly likely there will be an ultra/super/arcade/championship sf6.
@Amnesiac I'm guessing you got it during some sort of sale as sf DLC is not cheap. And as I stated earlier there's no reason for devs to launch incomplete games when top tier devs are working passionately on a game for a decade to release the best and most complete version of their vision. And before the endless barrage ensues yes I understand that there are multiple reasons for releasing games early and expecting DLC to pick up the slack but are any of them worth it at the gamers expense? Even with all the DLC there are still 2 or more full versions of both sf4 and 5
@WallyWest Check the release dates of those titles. They were years apart. Now you buy a fighting game and 3-4 months they want you to buy DLC or fork out extra at launch for characters down the line. As for MK3 and Scorpion there were various stories at the time as he was most players main (mine included) It boiled down to time constraints apparently. I don't mind waiting much longer for a game if they need more time but using DLC as a reason to release an unfinished product is not cool especially if you're gonna charge for it. FF15 was in development for 10 yrs and was worth it imo.
@get2sammyb I've watched it and I agree that sf6 looks like it will have more content than 4&5 combined. I was referring to fighting games in general that have been available since the advent of DLC the only studio that still packed their games with content were netherealm studios.
