The fact that this braindead and boring third person 7th gen console shooter is regarded as some deep action game shows le maymay pure action games is just a bunch of retards gravitating towards some cult of personality big names and deserve to be beaten down to a pulp.

Itagaki can make a stinking turd like Devil's Third and Mikami can pmake a piece of shit like Vanquish and some retards will make vidya essays about how they are misunderstood masterpieces

What a fucking dogshit ending too, I want my 10 hours back

Dunno how you spent ten hours on a game that's barely above five hours.
It's easier to condemn it for being so fucking short and still repeating all the boss fights.

Final battle with twins was kino, you must admit it.

>>715058529
>abuse slow motion headshots again and then QTE bullshit
The game technically has the movement to give a semblance of actual combat that could work with proper boost gauge and better telegraphing and threw it away because Mikami is a fucking hack

>>715057510 (OP)
Assault to Argus was the most kino warzone in sci-fi shooters.

Gamer kids in 2025 are the kind of people who think Overwatch is complex.
Is this what the boomers thought of us for rejecting old "draw your own map" Crpgs in favor of our Zelda?

This is the best third person shooter I've ever played, because it is the most fun third person shooter I have ever played. The traversal and moment-to-moment action is unmatched, and has not been replicated since.

>>715059049
Max Payne 3 though. But yeah this one is up there too

>>715058812
>Mikami is a fucking hack
No it's Kamiya

OP is right.

Much like Binary Domain, it's is an incredibly overrated TPS purely because it was made by Japs and weebs gonna weeb. Western TPS are vastly superior to Japanese TPS.

>>715057510 (OP)
I'm guessing you played it like a cover shooter.

>>715059248
This is very possible, because no other game has the central mechanic of sliding around on your rocket boosted ass in slow motion. Makes sense that a lot of players weren't able to grasp this.

Half the game is in slow mo but the hardcore gamer larpers wont tell you that

>>715059049
Nah
>>715059248
I played it just right. It simply sucked

You were filtered, and that's a good thing

Nigga try playing an actual movement TPS like Warframe, it will blow your mind wjat you can actually do when the gameplay is not centered around cheesimg headshots as some dude nailed to the ground and rolling to cheat a shitty stamina meter

>>715059887
It's trash, pal

>>715059813
>I played it just right. It simply sucked
I see that you aren't actually saying how you played it as well as not denying that you played it as a cover shooter. So I'll be taking that as confirmation.

>>715057510 (OP)
Vanquish is indeed a masterpiece and anyone who played it knows how deep the combat can get. But you need to be a god at it.

>>715059124
No

>>715059248
I fell for the shilling too. it's super 1 dimensional and I refunded after an hour.

>>715060019
There's no way to play the game right. This mediocre game is not the smart big brained masterpiece of game design the vidya essay convinced you it is. The one and only winning strategy is dropkick into slow motion headshots

It's ironic that you bash cover shooters as your favourite youtuber told you to because this game fucking WISHES it was as technical, smart and deep as Gears of War at its peak, full of movement tech, committment, quick thinking and weapons that behave differently that give strong advantages to skilled users

>>715060124
>Vaulting and shooting in slow motion
>Kicking and shooting in slow motion
>Rolling and shooting in slow motion
>Throwing punches at nothing (otherwise your energy gets fucked) (which is still pointless as rolling is optimal and let you initiate sideways dodges too) to extend dash time
HOLY SHIT COMBO MAD WOW HOW YOU'D FIND OUT THIS SUPER SECRET TECH OH MY GAWDDDD

This thread is pure fucking comedy

> Vanquish! It’s like Rondezvous at Ronda’s but with a lot more-oh myyy GOOOODD

>>715060686
He's not wrong, there's nothing deep about Vanquish while GoW had insane skill ceiling

>>715060378
>There's no way to play the game right.
So you did play it as a cover shooter? We've already established that. You don't need to keep repeating yourself.

>>715060124
Where is the depth in this video? Nothing here is remotely deep or special to perform

>>715057510 (OP)
Majority of people who played Vanquish did not use melee attacks.

>>715060959
Post a webm of how Vanquish is meant to be played
>>715061121
Nor they should

>>715061096
You need to do a lot of cancelling and juggling to pull that off. All weapons have their own unique melee attack that has its own status effect like stunning, launching, breaking armor rtc.

This game is basically a hacknSlash shooter

>You need to do a lot of cancelling and juggling to pull that off.
No you don't. The player is actually eating shit nonstop in many clips when it would be much easier to dropkick and use all energy as slow mo over a single punch doing fuck all. It's trying hard to style and when he "juggles" anything it's that lone final big enemy because he would otherwise be a sitting duck.

If Vanquish was remotely as deep as you claimed it is /v/ would hate it just like /v/hates Doom Eternal.

>>715057510 (OP)
Grifters like Grummz will say gaming died because companies dumbed things down to appeal towards a wider audience but they never talk about how EA and Activision killed almost every single golden age American PC gaming developer in the 2000s. They themselves represent a wider audience that let developers dumb down their products for normalfags.

>>715061556
watch >>715061323 its a better video

Vanquish is an example of half-hearted design. They give you boost and slowmo, but punish you and tell you to hide while it overheats. They give you melee, but it also overheats.

The game just couldn't commit. They made changes right up to release because of this and it's why everyone comes off liking parts and disliking others, it didn't have a fully concrete design. The melee change happened in the months before it came out purely because they thought it was a bit strong. It's a mess.

>>715062023
>none of my attacks or abilities should have cooldown
>I should be able to be in slow-mo for the entire game
>it's the dev's fault I'm bad at the game because I can't hold X to win

>>715061597
The only possible "combo" there is using saw launcher to keep a stun on Crystal Viper, a boss fight that lasts 60 seconds 30 of which are QTEs
Bouncing and rolling while shooting in slow motion than using EMP to recover slow motion bar is not a combo
Half the video is Alpha and Bravo, where the game removes the limitations and the depletion of stamina on melee attacks, and even there the game is lacking in interesting things you can pull off.
You can punch them a bunch and roll away when they attack but if there's Fromsoftware written on the cover that's shit gameplay

>>715062023
I can tell, the game is underdesigned and messy as fuck and insanely overrated

>>715062357

FTFY

did some youtuber talk shit about this game or something? i keep seeing troons talking about how its THE WORST GAME EVER MADE so i'm guessing this is the case

>>715057510 (OP)
>Melee instantly overheats your entire stamina meter
Fucking why

>>715063740
You can't be bad at a game with no skill ceiling

>>715062357
If you use up all of dante's devil trigger does he slump over and start dry heaving and need to crawl behind a wall and wait because all his abilities are disabled while he takes a little power nap?

No, cause it's got good design. Overheating sucks and is a big flashing "take cover for ten seconds dummy!" alarm.

>>715062608
>You can punch them a bunch and roll away when they attack but if there's Fromsoftware written on the cover that's shit gameplay
Lmao

>>715064360
That doesn't make any sense. Sam is a normal human on a super suit. Of course that depleting the energy will just make you normal for a while. The entire point of Vanquish is balance.
