I waiting for my GS to open, so I can pick up my copy of AC6. I got games stacked on each other too:
though! Which you like more boils down to personal preference.
Admittedly I kinda bounced off of Final Vendetta, so for me it comes down to a battle between Streets of Rage 4 and Shredder's Revenge:I forgot to mention this back in 2022, but there are people who consider Final Vendetta better than Shredder's Revenge. One of them being a YouTuber user named tetsuo9999. He's a cool guy; no worries. His content mainly focuses on action games and brawlers. I like the guy's content, but he's wrong on that one. If he (and others in his defense) enjoys the combat more, I can see where they're coming from, but FV has its issues. Not to mention, it needed a patch fix the problems with its combat and tone down the overpowered enemies and some bosses.
FV does have a more technical combat system compared to Shredder's Revenge, but the latter gives you way more attack and evasion options, along with actual super moves. Not just if you're super meter is full, your desperation attack won't drain your health. FV makes up for this by having hidden moves the game nor manual tell you. Though once you figure out how to input them, or use the hot keys on the triggers, it becomes a non-issue when you know how to mix the moves up. Also, you can kick people when they're down on the ground! That's a Konami thing in a Capcom-Sega style brawler that looks like a Neo Geo game!
In SR, all of the characters are fun to play. In FV, only 2 out of the 3 selectable characters are fun to play. Miller has his moments to shine, but I do not like playing him, and he is one of my least favorite mighty glacier grappler characters of all time. Not the worst of all time, but you and I have seen better with Boris (Violent Storm) or Max Thunder.
For 2022, the content was lacking for SR. This has changed with the dip switch settings, and is about to change again next week with the DLC. This game is getting a rouge-lite survival mode, and FV is stuck with the bonuses its got: Arcade, Survival, Training (which had to be unlocked by beating the game before the patch update; WTF?!), and Versus Mode. SR has 16 stages, while FV only has 6.The latter is meant to be beaten with a 1CC run, but a couple more levels could have been added, with some more enemy types. Then again, I appreciate the devs for not trying to pad the game this way, but it definitely needed two more enemy types.
FV I am pretty much done with, and got all the trophies on PS4. SR I will jump back into when the DLC drops next week on Thursday.
The soundtracks for both games is
Both have great aesthetics that I personally enjoy. Though I will give TMNT credit for bringing extra life into idle animations in the way enemies and bosses move. All the robot foot ninjas are giving so much personality and I just doing random things before you encounter them. Streets of Rage 4 does have a few of its own personality touches with some of its enemies and bosses, but barely comes off as mundane by comparison.
Agreed. The first time I played the Scott Pilgrim game was the demo on xbla. I thought about getting it at some point, the price point was too high for me at the time and I always try to wait for a sale. Then it got removed from the digital stores, so I couldn't play it. When he got re-released back around 2021, I thought of taking it up at some point. In 2022 my brother got it free for game pass. We both got to the second stage and we were already sick and tired of the game and how it functioned. The problem with the game is that it wants to be an rpg, but the level design does not facilitate it, nor does it mesh well. If you're going to take from River City Ransom/Kunio-Kun, you might as well be an open world 2D brawler like that franchise. The game has too much grinding for experience, and there are lousy checkpoints. It's even more pointless to play the game now, because of the River City Girls spinoffs, and older games in the franchise either have been re-released now, or about to be re-released later this year. I know some people already have nostalgia for this game, because it's been over 10 years and it was either their first brawling experience for the younger crowd, or older fans who are really into River City, but outside of emulation and importing, didn't have many of the games, so this was the next best thing. It's ironic that we both say and agree on this, because many of the same people that worked on the Scott Pilgrim game, worked on Shredder's Revenge. You can even tell what the way certain human NPCs are designed in the latter.
Thanks. Solved that.
Welcome to the world of gaming or getting invested in nearly any type of thing that's for entertainment or media. I somewhat kid, but that's why I usually recommend short and shorter games. Especially if the person in question doesn't have a lot of time.
Honestly, if they still spoke frenchanese like in the original... I'd be up for it.
The people complaining about DL2's 500 hour length, are not the same as the Bethesda fans and possibly the BG3 fans. Remember, that a lot of it doesn't fans will eat anything up, which is why this cycle continues to happen. BG3 fans meanwhile haven't had a game in pretty much almost two decades now. Most of them will take anything, so long as it's good. Not making excuses, but you can see where either is coming from.
The thing with Dying Light is it has 4 phases
Sure, let's get Nolan North and Laura Bailey on the phone.
I don't like long games, I tend to not finish them.
Funny thing is FROM games started gaining traction around the same time this kinda thing started happening.
I generally agree.
Nothing wrong with that, but everybody's different or has a different scenario.
They're only "infinite" if they are properly and have a dedicated fan base. And as we've seen, most of these publishers want infinite growth that's impossible, nor can deliver a proper or great gameplay loop. Not to mention trying to screw people out with dlc, loot boxes, and fomo with most of these MMOs, mp only shooters, looter shooters, or some weird cross between two out of the three.
Funny enough, Uncharted 4 suffers the lease from this, but it has other major issues then throwing a bunch of enemies at you. Really only the third game suffers heavily from this the most. The first and second game actually had this balance outright unless you're playing on the highest difficulty in the remastered version.
Once again, a case of everybody's different and your mileage may vary. I don't have a large backlog of games, but I can already tell you most loan games I don't even want to touch unless they interest me and have a good gameplay loop with an interesting story and characters. Not everything is the same with me on a case by case basis, but if neither the world, story, nor specially gameplay does it hook me in or is too janky, I drop it immediately. It's why I prefer shorter games or games that that only go up to 15 or 16 hours at most.
A bit.. is that a whole in-game cut scene? Either way, yeah, Miike is one of those directors that certainly inspires conversation.
