If you want to play Devil May Cry, then go play Devil May Cry. Fromsoft is doing its own thing and its apparently very popular, so its more likely that those complaining about it are in the wrong.
That was the first VR game I got and played too. Its pretty cool, HL ALyx is better, but Arizona is a really good start, especially coop.
Alyx is on my radar. .... Oh heck.... buying ASAP! I just keep reading it is the best VR game of all time. Grrrr Oculus store does not appear to have Alyx.
Yeah I did find it strange that you needed to endure the elemental zones in order to get the armor that helped you endure the elemental zones. I guess the idea was to force you to use the "proof" potions from vendors up to that point. But, since that's a one time thing, it's kind of silly in my opinion.
Cool, nice to see that block-on mechanic is out there somewhere.
Its a valve game so its on steam. I think the Oculus works with steam VR, might need some tweeking though.
Complaining about the combat in Darksouls puts me in mind of people bitching about tank controls or turn based combat. You wouldn't be into streets of rage 4 if it was a brown fps game or a 3rd person open world game.
I didn't ask nor say Dark Souls should play or be exactly like DMC. All I said was that it should have a better lock-on. When No More Heroes and God of War 4 get this right, you know there is a problem. From Software is no longer the little developer that could. They know they can evolve further. They are one of the big boys and girls now. No more weak ass excuses or defending bad/flawed game design.
I don't recall having much of an issue with the lockon in any of the Souls games.
For you. Other have or had problems depending on which game(s) you or they are taking about.
So, the POINT of Darksouls games is to have shitty controls? You consider that a feature, not a bug? Because I see tons of people who ***** about other games that have shitty UI and mechanics, and consider them a detriment to the gaming experience, and rightly so. Yet when people point out things like how From Soft have clunky mechanics, that don't follow the same rules at any given time, openly let things work one way for the AI, but not for you, and generally just make it a struggle to PLAY the game, independent of the difficulty, we're somehow out of line?
Yep. That's what I was telling Worgen, and he's doing it now, making weak ass excuses and defending flawed game design.
On that topic, that's already happened about 5 times. Except none of them were called Streets of Rage.
Yes, that is literally part of the appeal. But its not shitty controls, its awkward controls, there is a difference. Shitty controls are unresponsive and unpredictable, awkward controls are mostly predictable but unresponsive. To 'git good' you have to master the awkwardness and that is appealing to a lot of people. If you want an action game with really tight controls, there is Devil May Cry, God of War, Bayonetta, etc etc.
There is a reason why soulslike games with tighter controls don't engross people like the originals do. Part of the "shitty mechanics" is what makes them fun, if they aren't fun for you, then go play something else. There is a wiiiiiide range of games out there, I know you can find something you will like, I believe in you. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!
Ok, short answer is that you wouldn't.
And once again it sounds like you're making excuses for crappy controls. It's like that argument of saying how Resident Evil was better because of the tank controls and the camera angles are they hide enemies. Tank controls were a compromise, because full 3d movement hadn't been perfected yet. It took until the late 6th gen an early 7th gen to finally get 3D working right.
And once again, all I'm asking is for a better lock on. I'm not asking for enemies to be juggled in the air and shot with bullets over 50 times.
I don't know what type of answer that is, I'm going to go with wrong and a nonanswer response. The correct answer is Shenmue, Beatdown, and Final Fight: StreetWise. The first aged horribly and the original creator has not done anything to improve its game design from over the past 20 years with its recent new installment. The latter two are just really bad games that try too hard to be edgy, "ghetto/hood" and are crappy GTA knockoffs.
I didn't even mention Devil May Cry, dude. Capcom is simply good at making games that have hefty gameplay (like Souls games) that still have very tight controls. They've even made an action-rpg that like Dark Souls gives you a variety of builds and it plays like a dream.
Make sure to try out Strider (2014). I think it's still on sale on both digital stores
