you said it was good /v/, you lied

>>712804938 (OP)
It was

>>712804938 (OP)
It’s an okay game that could have had a great sequel.

You can't lie about something subjective.

you have to play it in a fun way

>>712804938 (OP)
Did you use cover?

>>712805006
>play it in a fun way
>overheat is literally the most unfun mechanic there is and literally pushes you to play way more defensively

it's ok

Generic 7/10 brown n bloom era game you play it once and move on.

>>712805081
yeah overheat sucks
iirc they added it at the very last minute because they found melee too strong or something like that

>>712805351
they didn't add overheat bc of this, they made melee strikes spend 100% of meter instead

>>712805557
oh yeah thats it
i misremembered

>>712804938 (OP)
I'm sorry you sucked at the game, anon.

>>712805351
They should have leaned into melee being good. Gears of War was way bigger than Vanquish. Coincidence???

What's the /v/erdict?

>>712804938 (OP)
it's ok. Prolly would never touch it again after beating it though

>>712805715
sucks

i think mikami is a bit of a dud and that hiroki kato deserves most of the credit

>>712804938 (OP)
it's decent and pretty fun, but it doesn't teach you how to play it in a fun way and doesn't push you to do so

>>712804938 (OP)
its kinda like max payne where its up to you to make the shooting fun by pulling off cool stunts. this style of gameplay isnt for everyone though

for me it was doing somersaults off the covers
i wonder how many people even know about that

>>712805873
I missed it on my first playthrough, thought the game was garbage, ages later found out you could do this and then beat the game twice in a row

>>712805081
I've been thinking of trying it again sometime with the trainer that lets you control all the mechanics regarding energy and heat.
The automatic slowmo on damage effect is one of the most baffling decisions I've seen in a game. Everyone rags on the melee overheat but getting hit a few too many times and being forced to go through the entire slowmo/overheat system is a fucking nightmare. On god hard you get it activated every minute because stray bullets are enough to chunk your health.

>>712805351
>iirc they added it at the very last minute because they found melee too strong or something like that

The original version of the game was a more even mix of melee and shooting, but playtesters found it confusing so they made it more of a TPS. Sam was supposed to have three different forms you could switch between sort of like style switching (this is why Sam's gun transform despite having weapon pickups, and different melee attacks being locked behind what gun you have equipped for no good reason.)

Basically playtesters are fucking retarded, but that's nothing new.

>>712805715
All I know about this game is there’s one autist who is really obsessed with her butt.

>>712805801
Credit for what?

>>712806018
>Basically playtesters are fucking retarded, but that's nothing new.
honestly there should be a requirement that forbids players with a steam level below 20-50 from playtesting

warframe mogs this jap shit so hard its not funny

>>712806048
vanquish and god hand?

>>712806195
take that back Wartroon

Good

>>712804938 (OP)
Gonna have to agree, OP.
I see the appeal but I just stopped playing after 2 hours and never returned.

It's good if you're not fucking trash at it. If you stop moving you're doing it wrong.

>>712806157
I have steam level 100 and I got lost in half life

I played it like a cover shooter and had fun

it's the quintessential platinum game: flashy with little substance

>>712804938 (OP)
it was ok but short and had sequel bait ending

I really like this game, but I wish the upgrade system made more sense. this game is in the uncomfortable middle ground where its too long to replay over and over and experiment,
but too short to not justify giving way more upgrades in one playthrough. either way, doing victory laps around the battlefield to tediously pick up the same gun is retarded and almost feels like padding.

>Platinum Games
You should have known.

how come they barely use the mouth window in the helmet for sam to smoke? more often than not he just takes the entire god damn helmet off so there is no point.

>>712805351
>>712805081
>>712805557
>>712805710
maybe a mod would be useful where melee only uses half or a third of your meter? or the melee attacks do half as much damage but only use 1/4th of your gauge? i had the same impression that the overheat balancing they used was overly conservative. there has to be way to to make conservative changes but still keep the game fairly balanced. seems more effective than making the gauge refill twice as fast which would make abusing slow down too viable.

>>712805715
they should have made it so the costume had clothing cutouts only on the armpits. they also should have made it so every chapter the armpit hair grows out more. they also should have made it so in between levels you can spend in game currency to shave it if you want. (though i suspect most players would let it grow for the entire game)

>>712807642
>they barely use the mouth window
it looks lame

>>712805715
garbage

>>712805254
It's not brown/yellow at all are you blind it's gun metal grey.

>>712807694
I would like it if certain melee attacks had different costs or maybe did more damage according to how much meter you dumped.
maybe one of the melee attacks for the shittiest weapon in the game was only useful during overheat

>>712805254
>brown
imagine being colorblind

>>712807574
And then it's disabled on god hard anyway. Like are we supposed to care about it? I found I had more fun when I just ignored the entire system.

>>712806018
No wonder Platinum went to shit, they cucked out early.

>>712806018
i miss directors with balls

>>712804938 (OP)
It's a great console game but playing it on PC sucks because it was explicitly built to say "look, this is how a TPS should work on a controller."

As for playing defensively because of overheat that's just you being a gigantic fucking coward.

>>712811442
Itagaki made one good game in his entire career and it was by accident

>>712811869
yeah but it's still 1 more game than most video game directors

>>712811721
Your system activating when you're on low health is literally a system that's intended to make you take cover. You're supposed to use the energy to hide and then wait out the overheat, that's the explicit purpose.

This is the problem with "you're not supposed to use the cover!" niggas, the devs are actively trying to force you to take cover with disabling mechanics if you take damage.

>>712806319
vanqshit is so clunky compared to godframe
weebtards like you dont know how far behind jap games are its fucking pathetic

>>712806195
>>712813436
warframe is just a guyver fangame.

It is if you play on easy. My retarded brain cant handle fast gameplay

>>712804938 (OP)
>worship RE4
>enjoyed Vanquish
>never played God Hand
idk why GH feels so intimidating to me, despite being Mikami-kino by the looks of it. the choose your own move thing just seems inelegant
what's the deal with Vanquish's overheat mechanic again? it's been like a decade since I last played it.

zump

>>712814805
So if you use too much meter, you overheat. Your suit flashes and you can't slide or slowmo, and you roll slower. It's a big flashing "holy shit take cover".
Problem is, it's easy to trip, it sets off from melee instantly, and if you take too much damage, like 75% or so your suit will forcibly activate slowmotion until it overheats. The whole process takes a while and you've basically just gotta sit and suck your thumb.
It's really annoying. On harder difficulties it feels like it really keeps fucking going off. It'd be way more fun if it didn't activate it at all. There's good reason why very few of these fast paced action games punish you by slowing you down and telling you to wait.

Could have just been honest with us, anon.

Is there any point in shooting those little statues besides some achievement?
