:)

>>714396158
yeah you're right, a gacha thread died for this!!!

>>714395456 (OP)
The daily dose

I haven't been playing much other than Oneechanbara Origin.
Should I give Kamen Rider Memory of Heroez another try?

>>714396937
>Kamen Rider Memory of Heroez
I thought that was a soulslike? Complete with "no fun alllowed" stamina gauge

>>714396127
Lmao.

Might as well rename them to slop action games based on how people here think of them

>>714396290
I'm gonna try and get speedhacks to work on wo long, I feel like the game would be crazy with a turbo mod

>>714395456 (OP)
I barely played any such games so I wanted to ask frens here: What games are most similar to PS2-era God of War?
For me, this means 3D games, no soulslikes, lots of action, and ideally a fixed camera like in GoW.

I heard people mentioning Dante's Inferno, Marlow Briggs, Darksiders, some DMCs, etc. What do you say? As long as they scratch that itch, games don't have to perfect.

What's the tldr on this nigger who keeps making these threads? What's his faggot origin story?

Can we finally consider Nioh as an "honorary action game"?

>>714395456 (OP)
Are there any promising ones other than NG4 on the horizon?

>>714397984
Bayonetta 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9

>>714397571
that sounds nuts actually, gl

>>714395456 (OP)
I am the reason this genre died.
I regret nothing.

>>714397628
Captain Blood might br close enough.

>>714397353
That's how to use Void in RE thoughbeit.

>>714397826
no
its shit and its a different genre

>>714398554
Elaborate

>>714397826
2 does, 1 doesn't

>>714397669
Action game fans are videogame supremacists; they simply want to wank their favorite genre non-stop.

Imagine what DMC could have been if they didn't force Nero into it, created more styles you could swap in and out, and made an actual finished game with bosses, levels, and weapons all for Dante. I like 4 and really ilke 5 but 3 is still the only game in the series that has the gameplay I love with focus without being split apart into different characters for no reason. It makes me a little sad to think about, specially now that the series is dead in the water...

>>714397669
what's the tldr with any nigger that makes threads
I for one would like to know what's with the pawgs guy

>>714398930
They are both the same game.

>>714399328
You would bitch about
>The series becoming stagnant
>Being unable to do anything but milking Dante
>The new styles / mechanics / whatever being bloat
>The excess of enemies and bosses being bloat and filler
>"DMC3? Now that was a great game! didn't need to bloat itself, it was perfect on its simplicity"

The winning move is not playing etcetera etcetera.

>>714395456 (OP)
You guys should just resurrect /crazy games general/with the amount of ritualposting and resident schizos that go here.

>>714399730
You have schizophrenia my man, dunno what to tell you.

>>714399991
Nah, I just know people very well.

>>714398554
What genre might that be?
Nioh 3 already has jumping, air combos, group combat, animation cancelling, faster movement. Everything a character action game has.
Is it because it also has 'number go up' do you exclude it?

>>714399328
I love Nero though and 5 proved to me they can make a game with multiple protagonists work. I do get wanting only to play as Dante though. Just give players divergence mode after one clear of the story, maybe adjust every level for the character you're playing in terms of ranking so you can't cheese S ranks. The thought of getting overhauled Nero, really overhauled Vergil and Dante with new toys, all playable and part of the story in the next game makes me moist.

>in the next game
should we tell him guys

>>714400223
ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED ITS MASOCORE ACTION RPG

>>714400187
NTA but it's an Action RPG.
Being a RPG makes it a completely different game.
Those .webms of players doing cool action things don't show how those players had to grind stats and gears for dozens, maybe hundred of hours (or use cheat engine) to get the correct stats, passives, skills and synergies to do said cool thing.

The true reason behind some action game fans rallying behind Nioh is due to said franchise being From Software Soulslike games' main competitor. To them it's a weapon to shit on a company and genre they despise.

>>714400520
you really need to shut the fuck up about games you obviously have never played

>>714400520
Do you really think you need to grind to jump or do air attacks in Nioh?

tried wanted: dead today for two hours and its pretty bad, very basic and not particularly fun

>>714400520
I mean, being an ARPG doesn't mean you can't be stylish.

>>714400647
>fell for it award

This genre really does do something to people where they think being good at one of the games makes them an authority to speak on all of them.

>>714400831
steam refunded me my moneys tho =)

>>714401016
Bro how could you, Itagaki's gonna fucking starve...

>>714400618
You wish.
I've actually played both games (I actually played the first game on launch on PS4; I'm not someone who started with 2) so I know what I'm talking about.
>>714400634
>Jump
Is the one who hasn't played those games.

>>714400758
It can be stylish but still doesn't make it a true action game.
Code Vein and Elden Ring have plenty of stylish attacks and playstyles (google "Elden Ring Vergil Malenia") and still you wouldn't call them action games. They're still "rollslop".

>>714400390

fuck off idiot

>>714400520
You don't need special stats to do anything cool in Nioh. You have to unlock skills but you do the exact same thing in every other action game.

Real Nioh 1 oldheads would know people would purposefully use lower level wooden weapons to make the game getting all of the DLCs which added more difficulties

>>714401302

Nioh 3 has jumping now :)

>>714401493
I was just keeping it at your intelligence level

>>714400647
I got it gifted during the Steam santa threads last December and played it to completion.
I enjoyed it to some degree but the game was very mediocre, enough that I didn't bother replaying it (I replay every action game I play at least once in hard).

No idea why /v/ (and the internet as a whole) praise it as the new Ninja Gaiden Black.

>>714401718
>No idea why /v/ (and the internet as a whole) praise it as the new Ninja Gaiden Black.
It's just Mork and a few of his parrots. I don't know where you're getting 'the internet as a whole' liking it, even the Steam reviews aren't great.

>>714395456 (OP)
Why is vanquish so overlooked despite being absolute peak? Basically MGR with guns. I got it as part of a pack containing Bayonetta as well on Xbox Live for $10 total. God I love how much Microsoft sells X360 games for 90% off

>>714400440
It will happen. DMC is popular and people want more. The DMC team was busy with Dragon's Dogma 2 until a year ago.

>>714402037
>he doesnt know itsuno left

>>714401467
>You don't need special stats to do anything cool in Nioh.
Yes you do. If you want to go crazy with those .webm combos you need the required skills and the gear with the required passives; otherwise you're limited to a few attacks and ki pulse, maybe ki recovery through stance switching.

>You have to unlock skills but you do the exact same thing in every other action game.
Action games don't require you to grind the same boss or the same enemies for dozens of hours until it drops the specific helmet with +0.5 ki regeneration passive you need for your build to come together.

>The .webm is just waiting until it's your turn to attack or your turn to do a counter, which is the main criticism towards Soulslikes
Do you realize how you're pretty much damaging your own argument?

>>714402074
Yeah as much as I love DMC this does not paint a pretty picture for the franchise's future.
At best we'll get a DMC 1 remaster in REngine

>>714402180
>a DMC 1 remaster in REngine
it's all so tiresome

>>714402037
>DMC is popular and people want more
Not popular enough to justify new games.

>>714402082
Are you literally retarded or what? You unlock SKILLS through a SKILL tree. There is no GRINDING. The gear just gives you STATS. You don't need STATS to do really cool stuff.

You are a mongoloid and you won't be getting another (you). You're making shit up in your own head to justify your hatred for something you know nothing about.

>>714396290
All kino

>>714402037
Yeah, when else has an action game losing its director for the sequel turned out poorly? I'm sure it'll be fine.

>>714402074
>>714402489
Kamiya is back and is a far better game director. We're in for some true kamige if he works on another DMC

>>714400520
>The true reason behind some action game fans rallying behind Nioh is due to said franchise being From Software Soulslike games' main competitor. To them it's a weapon to shit on a company and genre they despise.
I don't even think about from games. I just love nioh and want to discuss it more

>>714402576
lol he hasn't made a good game since 2009

>>714402576
Enjoy your shitty shmup section

>>714402082
I don't think you played the games. As someone with 400 hours in nioh 2 and a but less in 1, the passives serve to enhance your build. Everything you need is unlocked from the skill trees from just playing the game. Game changing skills as effects on items are pretty rare and rarely come into a build. That sort of discussion is for something like stranger of paradise where equipment matters more. With nioh you can confidently just equip highest number equipment without worrying too much about effects

>>714402483
You're the retarded one if you don't understand how Nioh's systems work.
All of that cool stuff is dependent on the synergy between unlocked skills, stats and your gear's properties and passives. You need to grind to get the stat number, you need to grind to unlock the samurai locks (the fixed drops aren't enough) and you need to grind to get the correct gear so you get the right amount of passives.
An action game doesn't have any of those; you simply unlock new attacks with the respective currency and that's it. Everything else comes from your mechanical skill.

And you're wrong; the Nioh franchise is one of my absolute favorite videogame series. I just find it stupid to pretend it is a true action game.

Oh no now he's trying the "I love these games guys, I'm on your side!" thing

>>714402956
>All of that cool stuff is dependent on the synergy between unlocked skills,
The "cool stuff" is just knowing what weapon skills to use when and having the finger dexterity and muscle memory to flux well. Everything past that is icing on the cake

>>714402916
I have as much time on both games as you and I can tell you never ventured outside the ___ of the warrior difficulty.
It's true that you can just equip big number gear but if you want to venture beyond that if you don't make a build you won't go far.

bros, as a legit dmc fan I think our franchise is TRASH and we should kneel before NG CHADS

>>714402956
>All of that cool stuff is dependent on the synergy between unlocked skills
Such as? Go ahead bud, enlighten us on how you can't pull off cool dodges, counters, and use ki flux to be aggressive without "equipment synergies". Go ahead. Give us examples
>you need to grind to unlock the samurai locks (the fixed drops aren't enough)
You are literally just making shit up lol

Name 10 passives that you NEED to synergize with skills to do, as you say in a very general sense, "cool stuff"

Y'all need therapy especially 714395910 for his arrogance mentioned in the first sentence, 714396158 for being outright retarded and trolling, 714397487 for concern trolling (i hope he gets shot), 714397669 for trying to derail the thread, all the anti-nioh faggots who came here for internet points.

>>714403137
>The "cool stuff" is just knowing what weapon skills to use when and having the finger dexterity and muscle memory to flux well.
And if you post that gameplay you will basically be repeating the same two attacks again and again, not unlike the average Soulslike.

I have no idea why nioh fans are now in these threads arguing like autists instead of just making their own threads like usual.

>>714403452
yeah they should let us sit and argue about dmc vs ng in peace.

>>714403452
niohfans are TNfags

>>714403165
Depths on nioh 2 but ok.

>>714403426
What same 2 attacks? You have 2 weapons, flash attack that incentivises constantly changing weapons to maintain pressure and an assortment of active weapon skills. If you just use high stance light attack on kusa and call it a day that's on you

>>714403552
From my experience there's not much overlap between NG/Nioh fans

>>714403452
Agreed, we've never gotten a chance to discuss which Ninja Gaiden game is best on /v/.

>>714403654
I play all of them personally

>>714403654
I'm right here

ragebound will be 10000x better than ng4

Insecure Nioh fans spend more time arguing over pointless genre classifications then actually discussing their games properly, how did it come to this? who gives a fuck about any of this

>>714403340
Now you're trying to move the goalposts. Pressing a key to do an attack is simply a basic mechanic; you know very well I'm talking about those long flash combos everyone loves to post videos about.

>>714403576
And to clear the Depths you had to make a build; you think you didn't but you did even if it was unconsciously, because the game is at its heart an action RPG, not an action game.

>>714403791
bro half these threads are J-Action CHADS vs CAG faggots posting

>>714403791
Instead of bitching you should try to start a conversation about real action games instead but you aren't. Go kill yourself.

Stylish Action: DMC1
Spectacle Fighters: DMC3-5, Bayonetta
Character Action: Nioh, Vanquish
Hack'nSlash: Ninja Gaiden, Wo Long
This should vastly simplify things.

>>714403791
They just don't want to be associated with Souls fans or the games. God knows why.

>>714402489
You're right, DMC did lose its director after the first game and finally the director is back to rejuvinate the series.

>>714396937
Can you reliably emulate Memory of Heroez rn? I got into KR like a year ago and i wanna try a KR game that doesnt look like ass and has more than only phase 1 Heisei riders

>>714403937
>Now you're trying to move the goalposts.
Answer the question.

>>714395456 (OP)
I wish this game got a PC re-release that fixed some of its minor issues

>>714403654
Not true.
I'm >>714398292 and while I played and the Ninja Gaiden collection on Steam I don't care very much about that franchise. Won't buy 4 and won't buy an Xbox 360 to play 2 (which is pretty much obligatory for any true Ninja Gaiden fan).

>>714404102
name of this nioh-like?

>>714404095
It's not a real question. You're claiming that a basic attack is the same as a combo and that because you can do a basic attack with a single button press / button combination that magically doesn't make Nioh a game series dependent on RPG trappings.

Is Sekiro an action game

>>714404190
It's the ps2 game starring Gackt, whatever it's called.

>>714402015
I think a lot of people assume that it's a generic shooter for some reason, I also don't understand why it's hardly ever mentioned.

>>714404136
*Not true
I meant True.

In fact I believe that Ninja Gaiden fans loathe Nioh due to stealing Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo from them, similar to how Armored Core fans loathe Dark Souls.

I have Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 on both the Wii U and Switch, and Bayonetta 3 on the Switch. I have a Switch 2 so I can hit 60 fps. I've never played any of them.
>Should I also buy Bayonetta on Steam and can I mod in all the bonus costumes?
>Should I wait for Switch 2 performance updates before I continue to not play them?
>Do I need Bayonetta Origins

>>714404336
It's a rhythm game

>>714404336
yeah, come here brother, you have better gameplay than MGR

>>714404336
Yes but it doesn't fit this subgenre. The emphasis is on learning the enemies and executing the gameplay correctly, not being creative or using various options to succeed.

>>714404309
You're replying to the wrong person numbnuts, i'm >>714403340

Now answer the question

>>714404336
Absolutely, but action game fans loathe From Software s much they pretend it isn't.

That's why it isn't on that recent Action Game Collage that anons have been posting as of late.

>>714404190
It's Bujingai, the gameplay doesn't feel like Nioh just so you know
I recommend watching a gameplay showcase before playing

>>714404391
>Ninja Gaiden fans loathe Nioh due to stealing Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo from them,
Nobody stole anything. Orange peel face left the company and took ninja gaiden veteran devs with him

>>714404336
It's one of the best action games.

>>714404402
Just play them nig. Bayo 1 doesn't have any nintendo costumes iirc so the PC version is the same.

>>714404080
I was wondering "wtf there's ps4 emulators?" Then remembered that it was also on Switch.
either way, I don't know

>>714397353
He’s right though. NG2 is balanced well enough that those types of strats don’t work on MN. NG4 is gonna be full of degenerate play.

>genre general but all discussions are arguments about what is, or isn't part of said genre.
Incredible. Can you fags just make a tier list or something

>>714395456 (OP)
Will we ever get a licensed action game as good as Transformers Bayonetta?

>>714404402
>>Should I wait for Switch 2 performance updates before I continue to not play them?
Idk if this will even happen, if it does get an update I could imagine it being a downgrade if it improves graphics but loses the solid 60 fps.

>>714404584
WRONG
pc version has 60fps cutscene mod and less mashy qte mod so its THE BEST way to experience it

>>714404336
It's technically action-adventure but random bargain bin PS2 action games have more depth than Sekiro.

The PS1 Alita game holds up surprisingly well

>different day
>same schizos
So let me get this straight, the autistic mexican >>714398292 (also known for malding about Scarlet Nexus and comparing NEO TWEWY to it) is the same subhuman who shits up the threads with his genre dysphoria AND who also pits soulslikes against other games, and vice versa? Good god.

every fucking time

>>714404637
Oh damn thats what i thought too, didnt know its on Switch too. So it should be perfectly doable then

>>714404402
Steam version of bayo1 can be played in higher res, not sure about modding. If memory serves there is a minor bug that makes it harder to hit the max score for torture attacks. Honestly since you already have it on Switch, I'd just play that version.
>Should I wait for Switch 2 performance updates
Nobody can say for sure, but I wouldn't count on the performance updates.
>Do I need Bayonetta Origins
Not really.

>>714397628
Seconding this.

>>714404642
>NG2 is balanced well enough that those types of strats don’t work on MN.
have you seen the no damage runs for it

I'm really sad that the Kamen Rider DMC-clone was so mediocre and that it basically killed console Kamen Rider games...

>>714404402
If you end up playing it make sure you look up dodge offset. tldr: combo finishers are powerful, but enemies are aggressive so finishing a combo could be a challenge, but if you hold down the attack button instead of just pressing it while dodging you carry over the combo after the dodge. This way you will be throwing tons of combo finishers while dodging attacks at the same time.

>>714404637
>"wtf there's ps4 emulators?
There is one. The issue is that its development is focused on making Bloodborne playable (which apparently managed to) so I wouldn't expect it to run any other game.

Is NG1 supposed to be boring for the first few missions? The combat just feels very limited

>>714404336
It's an action game but without the creativity and expression of all the other action games

>>714405246
>The combat just feels very limited
In comparison to what

>>714404816

>>714405005
Really what stops Bandai from building upon the foundation they made for either Memories of Heroez or Battride War?
They could probably make a decent sequel for either

>>714405345
Ok: How would you guys fix Bayonetta 2?

>>714405246
Yes. You are supposed to unlock moves by upgrading stuff. Wait until you get Izuna drop and Flying Swallow or more weapons.

>>714405469
By not playing that mess

>>714405406
>what stops Bandai
Japanese audiences becoming less and less interested on Toku during the past two decades.
The only reason those shows still exist is due to their parent companies not knowing what to replace them with.

>>714405469
remove umbran climax

I swear they could make it big if Toei wasnt so stuck up about keeping toku restricted to asia

Madoka game by Platinum when

>>714395456 (OP)
>Easily beats all four of them

>>714405406
Modern scamco are lazy as fuck and suck at making games. The only licensed things they make now are stuff thats so massive that it's guaranteed to make money.

All bayo games are fundamentally broken and dysfunctional,, no amount of bandaids will fix the awful foundation. You can thank Kamiya-san for this.

>>714405757
What destroyed Anime was making it available for audiences outside Asia.
You don't want Toku to suffer the same miserable fate; it's better for it to wither slowly, at least it will stay true to itself.

>>714405869
I thought we were over ragebaiting with KH

The funniest part about these Nioh arguments to me is that the game was far better as a more pure soulslike in the alpha for 1
The "action game elements" are all there to make the game easier for the shitters that complained about difficulty

speaking of tier lists

>>714405869
Its banned to talk about this game as no other game can compete with it.

>>714405983
To be perfectly honest i just want to get the toys more easily and not have to spend a gorillion dollars to get it shipped from japan

>>714406000
Someone post that shitpost chart comparing DMC mechanics to Kingdom Heart 2's mechanics

>>714405626
>headcanon
Kamen Rider continues to be one of the most profitable franchises own by Bandai/Toei, it has been a non-stop financial success ever since 2007 with its best selling year being 2018. Garo has seen moderate success.
It's just Super Sentai that continues to operate at a loss but even then despite being a non-stop commercial failure since 2015 it gets good views, media engagement and accessory sales, it's just that the main thing that it's advertising, which is the toys, are selling extremely poorly.

>>714405757
No it wouldn't, the west would hate things like Toku since they actively push away things that don't overuse CGI and don't have enough sense of disbelief to look past the low budget these shows have.

>>714406048
needs some work, RE6 there is going to immediately give it away to anyone

Is Garo for the PS2 still the best tokusatsu game or am I forgetting one?

>>714406323
is this kamen rider squid game

>>714406048
Give me the qrd on Resi 6. I haven't played it but liked the others

>>714405869
Only interesting thing about KH is the magic combo stuff

>>714406270
Kh2 is simple yet inzuitive and has enough deph to his battle system.
Its presentation is great its boss designs the best across the series and its game design of a harder difficulty is so ahead of its time.

No, webm is the currently airing season about a Kamen Rider who's a rapebaby that uses his candy powers to fight against drug traffickers.
The Kamen Rider Squid Game/Fortnite is the one that aired two years prior called Geats

>>714406721
I fell out halfway through Zi-O and I don't think I could ever keep up with these any more.

>>714406526
I mainly like it for movement, a lot of different option from slides to ground rolls (laying on the ground restores your stamina faster even), has little tech like gun swapping for faster fire rate, a tech for easy parry, etc. etc. ofc has the good resident evil shit like limb based shots and wrestiling finishers.
mercenaries is the most fun, a lot of characters and different costumes give you different loadouts too.

>>714406885
The currently airing season is generally considered to be the best season since Build, so you might enjoy it if you like that show.
From Zi-O to Gotchard almost every season had a production issue that screwed them hard making each season a mixed bag.

>>714406885
Gavv is like absolutely peak in almost every aspect there is, writing, fight choreo, designs, characters, id say give it a try

>>714407072
It's a top-tier season but I wouldn't go that far, only the choreography I feel it does better than anything prior

Best of Reiwa at least

>>714406526
nta but RE6 naturally evolved the combat systems from RE4 and RE5, it's genuinely a progression in every regard and was overhated for being too ambitious at the time.

>>714405869
Cant believe a disney game is considered one if the best action games out there.

>>714407469
oops I meant to say NG

>>714397628
>Dante's Inferno, Marlow Briggs, Darksiders, some DMCs, etc.
None of those actually play like GoW. GoW is focused on grappling and environmental interactions.

>>714407441
>anon doesn't understand sovl

>>714407319
did you know that you can save stamina by facing to the side of a staggered enemy and using the free melee instead of the slide to convert into a stun for cdg?
only caveat is that the autotargeting can suck the free melee towards an unintended target if there's other enemies around

>>714407072
>writing
>characters
Eh, those are overall good, but not peak. The entire Bitter Gavv arc for example was, like, kind of meh. It doesn't help that the Stomachs kind of just disappeared during the whole arc.

>>714407845
fuck you nigger
you only play bayo because the bitch is hot

>>714407951
lol no, I played it ages ago and wasn't very good at it, but it was very fun

Playing through Sigma 1 for the first time and the last few chapters soured me on the game. Everything from Awakened Alma on has been kinda ass and redoing the platforming section before the final boss is some bullshit.

I'm still livid that Mightreya ended being shit.

>>714407964
I really wonder why they dissappeared for that whole arc. I know that the start of the arc started slow because the main writer couldn't do her original plan for Vram due to a lack budget, so an assistant producer had to come up with a new character arc and left most of his focus episodes to other writers.
But the introduction of clones feel so sudden and it's even weirder that the Stomachs weren't even aware that this whole thing happened.

>>714408195
I'm still livid that Spirit X Strike ended up being shit

>>714409159
ok so we agree ninja gaiden is the best action game, neat

>>714408764
normal is the way devs intended it

>>714395456 (OP)
Just finished NG2 and I don't think I liked it as much as NGB. Chapter 9 and up nosedived the fun I was having, especially didn't like the bosses overall which I think is my biggest gripe with the game overall. Felt like Genshin was the only boss that made 'sense' to me in that I felt like I understood when I could punish him. Everyone else I ended up mashing with the scythe.

Opinion on level design for these games? Should there be busy work/gimmicks like DMC3 or basically nothing like 5? I kinda wish they would do something in between, like you can skip most of it if you have the ability to do so or have already done it before but it's there on the first playthrough.

its taken a while, but its weird that my feelings on bayo 3 ended up similar to how I feel about NG3RE. There's giant, glaring problems with so much of these games, but their core gameplay is so fun that I forget about all the garbage for a while. Yeah, I'll end up in a tedious platforming or tumor arm section and it should take me out of it, but I keep coming back cause of how good it feels to fight.

Hail to the king, baby

>>714409398
just make it a pretty looking corridor with some additional paths to take for more rewards like healing items or cash and some giga light platforming like jumping on monkey bars from NG

>>714408252
Yeah, everything about the Bitter Gavv arc just kind of sucks for the most part, especially Bitter Gavv itself. It really feels like they just don't know what to do with it even now, so it feels like nothing more than a glorified MotW like Magen. It just really hurt the show.

fighting games are online CAGs

>>714409398
DMC 5 does have that stuff though. Mission 8 and 12 come to mind. Don't mind 3, but I prefer the approach of 5, NG 2 and god hand.

>>714409314
Itagaki was too high to finish the game properly.

>>714403674
No need to.

dark messiah of might and magic and dishonored are CAGs too

>>714404431
>not being creative or using various options to succeed.

I hate how almost all eventually devolve into huge, empty circular or rectangle arenas. It's the dmc 2 syndrome yet almost nobody cares about it.

>>714410808
>all other action games are musous
Compared to something like ninja gaiden sekiro just kinda feels boring after one playthrough since every encounter plays out the same way.

>>714409480
This but with NG2.

kinuso > slopkero

>>714409398
>Should there be busy work/gimmicks like DMC3
DMC3 has basically none of that though. Outside the occasional level gimmick like the DT mission, it's all just spins on fighting enemies.

>>714410812
You don't know what you're talking about.

Mork is right, progression is a bad mechanic and has no place in these games hence why downloading a save file is totally fair game.

>>714412116
>literal light puzzles
>moving blocks
>platforming on cubes
>rotating the tower
You didn't play the game.

>>714410808
Sekrio had potential if it fleshed out the prosthetics more and had something like Wo Long's posture system instead of the retarded spirit emblems. Too bad Fromsoft can't into good combat design.

>>714412116
>DMC3 has basically none of that though
Bait or retarded

Can we finally admit that premade rehearsed combos are fucking cringe? If you can't pull it off naturally in the heat of the moment you're playing these games wrong.

>>714412786
Same goes for NG fags who replay the same few fights ad infinitum

>>714412357
I mostly agree with Mork but I think regarding this problem it is mainly his boomerism and being married with kids which means he doesn't have the time of day to spend hours playing a single game and would rather have the hardest difficulty unlocked from the start, I could be wrong but that's the gist I get from his complaint.

>>714412916
>NG2 fags
Ftfy

>>714412992
No, it's definitely just his 'tism. He clearly spends a fuck ton of time playing video games.

>>714412552
>>714412603
You know what, you're right. I actually forgot about all that shit. But in my defense most of those just last for like one room, and outside the cubes it's all hitting things. DMC3 is very streamlined, it's not like GoW or NG where you get shit like climbing sections.

>>714395456 (OP)
>tfw when you realize all these series perfectly alternate between good/shit with each entry

>>714412786
>premade rehearsed combos are fucking cringe
>If you can't pull it off naturally
So what you're saying is that you want to be good at execution without building muscle memory first? Shit doesn't work like that.

>>714413214
>DMC3 is very streamlined
No. 5 is streamlined. Made it worse too.

>>714413394
NTA but the issue he seems to have is needing any execution to begin with.

>>714413592
Sorry your ADHD tiktok brain needs level gimmicks to keep your attention, how sad.

>>714413592
DMC5 is a streamlined DMC3, which is a streamlined DMC1, which is a streamlined RE.

>>714413764
You got it revered sweetie. Zoomies praise 5 level design for a reason.

>>714412992
It means he wants the actual challenge right from the start. Normal mode is just an extended tutorial that not everyone wants or needs.

>>714413967
RE is just a streamlined Sweet Home

>>714395456 (OP)
The perfect Devil May Cry would be one with 5's combat, 3's art direction and NT's DMC's level design

>>714414027
The only people who praise DMC5's level design are the people who played the other games.

>She turns up in NG4 pregnant with Ryu's half fiend baby

Would this be a good story point?

>>714414027
They are retarded. The openness of dmc 5 battle zones is a flaw. 3 was better in that regard and occasional shitty chess fights change very little.

>>714414758
>3 was better in that regard
Yeah the cog room or the guillotine room were such great battle arenas.

>>714414987
Yes

>>714414987
Those were ludo, unlike modern hallwayslop level design.

>>714414987
>interesting level design is bad

>>714414510
Wasn't Rachel and Ryu purified from fiend influence by the end of NG1? Their baby would be a healthy blonde haired and green eyed hapa.

>>714414987
>Challenging areas that test your awareness
Yes.

>>714415331
What the fuck is interesting about Bloodgoyles attack you from outside the screen while you try to climb on a cog with some of the worst jumps for platforming ever put in a game?

>>714395456 (OP)
Are there any series you wish have action game spin offs? For me Kingdom Hearts and Kid Icarus lend themselves to dedicated action games. The only problem is Square Enix is full of hacks and Nintendo doesn't care about games that aren't Mario and Zelda.

>>714414510
No, that wouldn't be hot enough. Rachel needs to get fucked by giant fiend cock and bear its baby.

>>714415667
giwtwm

>>714405406
I imagine that they view the arcade and mobile games they good enough for the game side of the franchise, especially how they work more naturally with the Kamen Rider form change gimmick. They can sell each form separately as opposed to needing to make one playable character with multiple forms adding to development cost. This wouldn't be too much of an issue if the game focused on a small number of Riders but Rider games usually are expected to be huge crossovers - a roster of as few as 20 Riders could be hundreds of models/animation sets you need to make.
Though even the Japanese are getting exasperated at all the mobile games, the newest announced one is getting zero hype. I can only hope that Bandai actually decides to make a real Rider game if only for brand strength.

Turnaround time is also an issue, they're becoming increasingly skittish about leaks and want to keep things confidential if possible. But that's a problem because a tie-in for Rider would ideally want to advertise the newest season so there isn't really a good space to squeeze in a full game development. Memory was able to fit Zero-One in because it wasn't a Zero-One game, and his presence is kind of an afterthought.

>>714414510
I want a Rachel sandwich

>>714415667
This but with Alma. By all accounts she was gangbanged by fiends Taimanin style

speaking of spin offs, was the Bayo spinoff any good?

>>714412786
we don't like combo fags here

>>714415559
Tons of dormant fighting games IPs are basically begging for this. Especially Darkstalkers and Red earth. If capcom wasn't as retarded as they are their devs would make a "character action game" different from DMC years ago.

>>714415893
Yes

>>714404336
its a rhythm game

>>714416292
can you elaborate a bit?

>>714415559
As said ITT, Kamen Rider would be the top choice. If given adequate budget then I think Kuuga, Den-O, Hibiki, OOO, Wizard, W or Geats could make really solid playable characters.
Of something semi-possible, Symphogear. Kaneko is more or less done with the franchise having written everything he wanted to write but Agematsu still seems dedicated to it.

>>714415724
The thing is that every mobile Kamen Rider game has been a commercial flop that they shut down, they announced a new called Kamen Rider Defenders and even though we know nothing of the gameplay yet the japs are already shitting on it because they expect it to shut down like the rest.
Only the arcade cardass has been truly successful.

Finished my first playthrough of Ninja Gaiden Sigma. 80% of the bosses in this game are dogshit.

>>714419419
That applies to all games in this genre sweaty, get used to it.

>>714403771
Who 's the blonde in the back?

>>714419419
That's every NG game.

>>714415187
Those are hallways. 3 has interesting looking hallways, but they are still hallways. Alleys count too.

>>714404513
And did nothing good with them so I'm honestly more pissed at Itagaki than I am at Team Ninja for making the Niohs and SoP which I enjoyed very much.

>>714420005
I'm very curious how things would have turned out if he stayed and they didn't have shitty relationships. Would we get a better nioh or would they just make a new straight action ip

>>714419468
>That applies to all games in this genre
Speak for yourself, NGbro.

>>714420258
All dogshit.

>>714420258
the only good ones are Angelo and Vergil, and maybe Cerberus, the rest are mid at shit

>>714420353
Vergil, Dante and King Cerberus are GOATed bosses. Cavaliere Angelo, Goliath, Urizen 3 and Malphas are easily at the top of the genre. Artemis, Elder Geryon Knight, Gilgamesh and Urizen 1/2 are weaker but they're still very good. Nidhogg, Nightmare and Qliphoth are just passable but they're still not even a fraction of how bad the NG bosses get.

>>714420258
Not part of the genre, DMC5 is comboslop

>>714419419
Explain how to make a good boss?

>>714420856
This but unironically. We've been gaslit for so long that we forgot that DMC4/5 lack the real elements of this genre, that being the test of playing well and looking cool while under pressure. Fighting pathetic enemies in the BP or practice mode is literally fake gameplay, even DMD in these games is a fucking joke.

>>714420857
nta but picrel is one of the best bosses of all time wish he would have appeared more often with newer movesets and attacks

>>714421308
>DMD in these games is a fucking joke.
DMC 1 reigns supreme.

>>714421308
>Bloody palace is now fake gameplay
wew

>>714421415
Actually playing it is fine, replaying the same floors over and over to practice is the fake gameplay.

>>714421336
>is one of the best bosses of all time
Why? Is it the presentation, story reasons, patterns, or you heard it to be true?

>>714421520
Design, attack patterns and having actually played DMC4 back when it released on PC in 2008 he's also a fun boss to fight compared to the rest of the lineup.

How come ng never got copycats? dmc has them, bayo has them, even shit like godhand has them. yet nobody actually tries to copy ng?

>>714422248
Where's the Jack poster?

>>714422248
Cause it's the hardest to copycat, the only ones who tried are basically former NG devs who worked on Devil's 3rd, Samurai Jack and Wanted Dead which is the closest to it but never truly managed to capture NG's essence due to smaller budgets, teams and resources.

>>714422423
samurai jack is a great game, but its not all that similar to ng if you ask me
>>714422468
shame really, i think it could be an untapped market

>>714422248
Samurai Jack Battle through Time plays like a 3d ninja gaiden game.

>>714422248
Sekiro

>>714422248
NG is genuinely too hard to copycat, the only thing close to NG clones are the ones that were made by former NG devs anyway

>>714422468
>never truly managed to capture NG's essence due to smaller budgets, teams and resources.
Correct. The soliel Valkyrie game has essence. Can imagine how that went.

>>714422248
WD is the only good one

>>714422776
Be serious anon

>>714422248
>dmc has them, bayo has them, even shit like godhand has them
I literally can't think of a copy cat of any of these games unless you're talking about other platinum games having a slow down on perfect dodge mechanic. If those qualify then NG technically has copycats too.

>>714418453
>If given adequate budget
So basically something that's never gonna happen. I just don't see Bandai ever giving a Rider action game enough of a budget to actually be at least decent. As far as low-budget options for a Rider game go, I wouldn't mind seeing a Rider 2D beat 'em up like Shredder's Revenge. They could even use the All Kamen Rider games as a base and expand upon it if they wanted to. Obviously, though, I'd want the game to be good. As much as I like Shredder's Revenge, the game opened the floodgates for terrible licensed beat 'em ups trying to cash in on name recognition alone, like the G.I Joe and Power Rangers ones, and I wouldn't want a Rider game to be the same.

Bayo 1 is my favorite game of all time and while 2 isn’t as good, it feels like an extension of the first. Bayo 3 just feels different. The story, the characters, the art style, etc. The gameplay is fun and that should be the only thing matters, but not for me. The multiverse shit is just fucking embarrassing, Viola is a shit character, Jennifer Hale is a shit Bayo. Props to those that enjoy it. I’m glad you’re happy, at least.

>>714395456 (OP)
>NG3

>>714423831
>Dante's Inferno
Much closer to God of War than DMC
>Darksiders 2
Don't remember too much about this game but I think it was Legend of Zelda style dungeons with a super simple dial-a-combo system like God of War.
>Sifu
This is a giant stretch. Just because you're punching enemies doesn't mean it's a Godhand knockoff.

>>714423731
>I literally can't think of a copy cat of any of these games
Play it.

>>714425127
Do you play these games for good ranks on NSIC or are you more of a casual fan? I can understand these opinions for the latter case but not so much for the former given how incredibly fucked up 2's gameplay is at a deeper level. Personally I never gave a shit about the story in the games and used to assume that was the case for most fans, so I was pretty surprised that so many people were so upset about 3's story.
Also can you really blame Platinum for replacing Bayo VA given the circumstances?

>>714405869
I agree with KH schizo. This game does a lot of things better than the others

>Pacing

>Enemy design

>Synergy

There's nothing like the Purple fights in the other 4 games. KH's problem is disney crap

>>714426179
>how incredibly fucked up 2's gameplay is at a deeper level
cringe tryhard meme. a few things were bad but it's hugely exaggerated and arguably better than 1 in most ways

>>714426770
1 has serious pacing breaking moments and the worst stages. Much more playable with Bayohook, which makes it the best game in the series

>>714425127
I dunno man, I was really bummed out when I got to nsic in b2 and WT was still on. If I had to choose between b3 and b2, I think I like demon slave more than umbran climax. Visually wise though the homunculi are awful, I miss stripping angels off of their armor and feathers and beating them into a puddle of blood.

Every single mobile action game has been copying Bayonetta.
How do people play gacha kusoge

>>714414510
Rachel has not appeared in a game since NG2 Sigma, I have no hope of seeing her in 4. Ayane is almost certain to appear for just one scene like she usually does, but I'm hoping for Momiji, she is the definitive Ninja Gaiden girl.

>>714427587
>momiji the demon cock queen
i cant wait

I have absolutely no idea why would anyone play Bayo for ranks. The already pigeonholing game gets even more so, and everyone just ends up bruteforcing the game with constant savescam retries.

>>714423820
When I say adequate I don't necessarily mean like a DMC budget but just that there are middle-size Japanese publishers like D3 and Marvelous that could do stuff as cheaply as Bamco would want. Memory of HeroeZ was by Natsume even though they don't have much of a pedigree making action games.
Also that if the game focused on a singular Rider that it could flesh the systems out a lot more and there are plenty of Riders where if Bamco sat and said, "Hey we want a game about this specific Rider and no others" that it could be done. Memory was passable and seemed to be them trying to dip their toes into seeing if they could have a Rider game that is looking with a magnifying glass at a specific series or two but not having any other games since then indicates they weren't pleased with the results.

>>714427697
So what do I do in the game apart from trying to score ? make Sick MAD videos like people do in DMC. Karma Runs in NG is a thing

>>714427870
>but just that there are middle-size Japanese publishers like D3 and Marvelous that could do stuff as cheaply
NTA but we need more of these

>>714423820
I like these Rider games. But my favorites are the ones that emulate the series, and I'm not big on the ones that depart from that formula.

>>714427942
The avatarfag can only shit on bayo no matter what you tell him. You might as well ignore him.

I just play for fun. And my fun is mostly derived from exploring the mechanical intricacies and then trying to apply that knowledge in my regular gameplay.

>>714427657
Momiji is so pure that demons naturally feel weak and powerless near her. So the only way demon cock could overpower her is if she secretly wanted it

>>714405225

>>714405469
I'd chop her balls off

>>714429406
Fully playable at the moment, but you need a beefy PC to brute force it.

>>714423851
Is it good?

>>714429827
I love the extreme keyframes in this game.

>>714404995
No damage runs don’t count because that’s not how people typically play NG2. But everyone’s gameplay in NG4 is gonna be degen af

>>714429406
Fully playable.

>>714433283
Unironically, only secondaries use it. Listen to how they say it and they don't understand what the fuck it means.

>>714436000
Action games are broad spectrum. A racing game is *technically* an action game but it's obviously not the same thing as a proper action game.

And it's not about juggling in itself. If your offense is limited by the amount of bullets you have rather than how the enemies react to it, that makes for a different type of game.

>>714422248

I do, I was surprised to learn that both Prototypes were made because they lost the Marvel IPs, apparently the first one was originally supposed to be a Spider-Man game and the second a Hulk Game.
Still like both Prototypes games, thought all three Infamous were fine, I felt that series had enough neat ideas to keep my attention even if the story was meh and the character writing in Second Song was really annoying a lot of times.

SO WHICH IS IT STYLISH OR CHARACTER ACTION??? You fickle minded whores are even worst than women

>>714439824
Western and Berserk are literal musou. Can't see the appeal.

>>714440528
It's Hyper Action

New genre name idea: Advanced Deep Hyper Action

>>714440534
Western I personally enjoyed because of the spectacle of it and found the combat to be responsive enough to be consistently enjoyable, in Berserk's case I liked the devs' autism into recreating the manga, haven't played the first one for the Dreamcast yet though so I don't know how does it compare to that one.

We need more mecha action games
I thought we would get more since the last Armored Core was apparently popular

>>714440896
fuck that doesn't work like I thought
How about Advanced Deep Hyper Difficult games

>>714440389
Furi is fake bullethell.

Picrel is the only bad Devil May Cry game, everything else are good. Yeah including 2 and DMC, I'd even go as far as saying that DMC is overhated

>>714441410
Goddammit forgot image

>>714441028
>modern getter robo vidya
Have I been living under a rock?!

>>714441713
It isn't an actual Getter Robo game, it's Level-5's Mecha game Megaton Musashi, it just happens to feature Getter Robo
It's a great game though

>Devastation has pseudo-inertia
The more you know.

>>714441410
>DMC2 is now good
>Yaiba is now good
This needs to stop.

>>714429827
its janky godhand. take that as you will

>>714441028
People bought that game because it had From Software's logo on its box and they were still under the Elden Ring honeymoon phase, not because they gave a fuck about mecha.
Both From and Namco realized it and that's why they decided to go with Nightreign and not-Bloodborne-for-the-Switch,

>>714440534
they play nothing like musou wtf are you on about? thats like claiming ng2 is musou because it has a lot of enemies on screen. fuck outta here with that bs

>>714441501
dmc poc was good before the full release. holy shit the game got gutted so damn bad

>>714442296
>ng2 is musou
Correct

>>714422749
Wasn't that supervised by Itagaki, meaning it doesn't count?

>>714442710
no wonder it's trash

Was Dragon's Dogma 2 as bad as people said
I know it's not this genre but all the DMC talk reminded me of it

>>714444091
It's just Dragon's Dogma 1 version 0.5

>>714443997
Exactly

https://www.nexusmods.com/ninjagaidenmastercollection/mods/37
anyone played this shit
is it gud

>>714445569
I fucked around with it for a bit, it's definitely harder even on warrior. Enemy spawns are much more numerous and much faster and aggressive. Probably the closest thing to OG NG2 on PC atm. Only issue so far is that it seemingly fucks up Ryu's textures for some reason and gives him glowing eyes.

Nah bruh you lost me here. I let you slide for too long.

this is your brain on ninja gaiden

yeah, it's fine, beat it on MN last year

>>714448604
ng1 if it was good

>>714446835
Credibility lost. Time to drop the avatar facade. It's over.

>>714449604
>from used to copy TN and now it's the other way around
oof

>someone is finally making DMC-clone based on Kamen Rider
>it looks like shit because the dev is an animator with 0 experience on game development
fucking why must you taunt me like this

>>714450127
I got you senpai but it's gonna take me a couple years

I even got a mechanic based around swapping from primary to secondary rider

>>714441169
Furi is unironically, baby's first bullet hell and I don't mean this negatively

There's a reason they introduce you to more and more mechanics and then the final boss is literally a shmup

>>714450202
Best of luck anon, I believe in you!
I'm also excited for the Megaman Zero-like inspired by both Rider and Sentai that an anon here is making, although last I heard the artist he hired ended up being a scammer so he's now doing all the sprite art himself increasing the devtime considerably.

Why are there no mecha games like this? no transformers are not mechs

>>714429827
>>714442153
The gameplay isnt like God Hand at all, is everyone fucking blind or something. I get the theme is similar even tho Its really biting off of Fist of the North Star. But cmon on did yall even look at God Hand gameplay

>>714450337
Oh, I don't think I heard of this one.

>>714450454
Daemon x Machina is RIGHT there

>>714450649
But isn't that an Armored Core clone?

>>714450702
Zone of Enders is RIGHT here

Zegapain XOR is underrated

Come up with a cool new mechanic that could be in one of these games

>>714450454
Here you go bro.

>>714450702
titanic scion looks like it's leaning more to character action than AC
i didn't like the first one but this new one piqued my interest

Shmups are action games and we should talk about them more often

>>714451996
Shut the fuck up mork

>>714452050
There is overlap between player bases anon. I wouldn't mind the inclusion.

>>714450563
Sadly I don't know how to look for it, I don't think he ever said the name in any of the threads, he would just post webms and spritework on /m/ and gamedev threads

>>714452050
I mean, you can't prove me wrong
They are action games even if you disagree, ha

>>714452521
they aren't action games, they are action-fliers at best

>>714449798
Never make fun of that kid in high school

Every time I read the thread I get more convinced to try Nioh

>>714453581
You're a decade late bro.

As much as they are annoying about constantly shoving in your face how Nioh is the best game ever, there are so many of them who are fanatical, there’s gotta be something to the game

>>714453723
I wasn’t interested before but now I am
I always thought the graphics looked too dark and flimsy. I heard it’s too repetitive and I’m not usually into 50 hour campaigns

>>714454148
It is rather repetitive, but all games in the genre are. 2 is less repetitive feeling because it has better enemy variety fyi

>>714441410
DmC > 3 > 5

Wasn't Nioh in development hell for like 10 years and originally gonna be a musou? Weird stuff, wonder when exactly it got passed to TN.

>>714404663
This game would be so much better without the retarded Diablo loot
Just give each guy their own weapon and playstyle, half the time they basically play the same because you’re using high damage weapons or doing the weak headshot score cheese

Massively underrated boss.

shmups are action games
roguelikes are action games
RTSs are action games
platformers are action games

>>714402015
If Vanquish is an action game then Armored Core 6 should be too
If Armored Core 6 is an action game then Returnal should be too
If Returnal is an action game then Control should be too
If Control is an action game then Alan Wake should be too
If Alan Wake is an action game then Resident Evil should be too
If Resident Evil is an action game then the Last of Us should be too

The Last of Us 2 is my favorite action game

Name one game that isn't an action game.

>>714456808
DMC5

>>714456936
That's not a game it's a combo simulator, try again.

>>714454148
Part of why I prefer Stranger of Paradise is the main campaign is way shorter than a Nioh game

Is the SoP DLC worth getting?

>>714457916
yes. good jobs, good dlc bosses, good new difficulties

is there a single good thing about dmc5?

>>714458409
Vergil's kinda hot (no homo)

>>714458529
hmm sounds like a good video game

How many more of these threads until they kick us out to /vg/ you think

>>714460050
bro jannies and mods only care about their porn threads, we have enough time

>>714453581
>>714454148
You would be one of the very few people in this thread that has actually played it judging from many earlier posts. But it's a fantastic series and very much worth playing. I wouldn't say it's any more repetitive than any other action games, the point is to learn your movesets and how to deal with enemies in new and interesting ways so it's only ever repetitive if you let it be that way. The games also have actual level design which helps.

mfs really be like "yeah I'm a ninja gaiden fan" while only playing the sigma balls versions loooool

>>714461963
There is no advantage to NGB outside of visual preference and costumes.

>>714462175
no rachel makes ngb better

>>714462224
rachel is hot and her moveset is decent. I did forget about her tho but it's really not that big of a deal. I would trade that over having to do the fucking shitty base stage using manual aim or the water section with worse controls any day

>>714462224
modded out soon

>>714441410
>>714441501
>>714442395
I still think Pinnacle of Combat (old version) had the definitive Lady, far better than "uuh charge shot: the character" from DMC4:SE.

What bmups are MUST play?

>>714462687
>Kino Gunplay that don't involve gunslinger style
>DMC3 nostalgy
>Lady with big tits and kino gameplay with flips, kicks and gunfu that emulate the cutscenes
>Ruin it all with a depthless gameplay, circumcised movesets and the inability to use guns and swords at the same time, which is the staple of DMC.
What the fuck did they think when they released that turd?

>>714427578
Lots of effort go into flashy animations to fool you into thinking the game has more going on than it actually has. I fell for it more times than I'm willing to admit.

>>714464507
Why did it takes you almost a minute to kill a common enemy?

>>714427578
Can't stop, won't stop.

>>714464631
I don't know bro, itsuno invented that

>>714465946
Anon, the blond whore can buff. Just use her special and kill faster with the white haired cutie. You even get extra damage from minions.
You can stun faster by parrying too. You shouldn't take more than 20 sec to get rid of that mob, hell you could even do it in in 10 sec!

How do you people make long webms that don't look like shit?

>>714463329
Alien vs Predator, Ninja Warriors/Saviors, and Armored Warriors

>>714466659
thank you mr. Gamer

>>714466867
Why does Kasumi looks manly?

>>714467385
it's a mod that replaces ryu's model but still keeps all the animations
it looks like shit

Listen he has good taste in his waifu, but also fuck him

>>714464507
why didn't you ever jump

>>714473429
I prefer ground game it's why I only play grounded fighting games I don't like jump metas

>>714473203
Cameron is currently fixated on blue sexy naked pubescent ayy cat girls. Avatar action vidya would have been cool too

>>714472607
We know, dmc 5 player.

>>714474084
Avatar would be perfect for RTS

>>714474234
I thought the RTS genre was dead, even JAV/HAG has better odds of being made and actually enjoying some modicum of success and popularity by comparison.

I LIKE WARRIORS GAMES

>>714474590
who doesn't, it has Ryu in them

>>714466650
What settings is your output for video recordings? You need to crank the bitrate up and look up guides on jewtube if you're struggling to find the right settings if you wanna maintain a low filesize while still having decent video quality.

Does DMC 1 and 3 count? They are definitly not as air combos centric as 4 and 5.

Does Prince of Persia (sands trilogy) count?

no, they are more adventure than action, they are good games anyway

>>714475859
Bandai seems to be allergic to making Sentai games, the last one we got was that LuPat shovelware, the last somewhat proper video game we got was the Gokaiger musou.
Even the Super Sentai cardass flopped and right now it's even less likely even though the franchise's popularity has only been increasing since Kiramager because their toy sales still haven't stabilizef, so they probably don't see the franchise as profitable enough to even warrant a video game.
Also for indies to make a game based on Super Sentai it's really difficult due to the holder of the Power Rangers' IP Saban, who's such a massive jew that despite the franchise being a glorified dub of Super Sentai he threatened legal action against a Super Sentai rts and a Super Sentai dlc of Final Fantasy which both had to get redesigned and credit Saban for their inspiration. That's why we only get Super Sentai cameos in the mobile Super Robot Wars games since those are Japan Exclusive, they never get included on the console games because they're afraid they wouldn't be able to release the game outside of Asia if they do.

Do you guys like masocore games?

>>714478398
Bandai's countless fuck ups need to be studied, how they managed to stay afloat and not go bankrupt yet is a mystery for the ages.
