We haven't had one of these in a while.
Did you preorder NG4's regular version or deluxe version? Are you doing a MN run on any of the games in anticipation?
How is that W:D's Japanese Hard run going?
Which game are you playing right now? What do you think about it?

>>715358973 (OP)
i tried wanted dead but it felt really clunky, how am i supposed to play that game to have fun?

also i wish i could make one of these for stealth or imsims but those die rather quickly

Forgot to add, Souls games and Soul-adjacent games aren't welcome.

>>715359585
You're intended to use both your gun and your sword. There are severeal techniques that aren't explained in the tutorial.

Nioh is a better action game than wanted dread

>>715360626
No game designed around RNG loot and RPG mechanics will ever be a good action game.
Also, Nioh isn't even an action game. It has no place on these threads.

>>715360350
Deep Crimson and Burst Renewal are vastly better than 99% of the games posted on these threads.
Senran is a mad underrated franchise.

>>715359585
Pistol is used in tandem with sword for combos. Block can be used to shorten animations. Other weapons (automatic weapons etc) can be used as finishers for sword combos.

>>715361343
Senra started off pretty bad but the last few games are legit. The niggas have become good at combat design, unfortunately, you have the amusing but lame sexual mini-games taking up space

>>715362558
>The niggas have become good at combat design
I played Shinovi Versus and Valkyrie Drive, the latter to completion, and they were pretty shit. So I have to disagree about them becoming "masters of combat design".

>>715360519
Let's discuss nioh

>>715363276
People only pretend to like nioh because it's a convenient anti-From Software weapon. Otherwise no one would give a fuck about it.

>>715363364
You've said that before. It's as pathetic of a cope for as last time. Now tell me how someone can't like souls and action games simultaneously

>>715363890
>You've said that before
And I will keep repeating as long as /v/ pretends o like those games.

>>715363968
Not sure why you're so mindbroken about nioh but that's your business. Nioh is the best arpg series on the market

>>715360743
good thing it isn't up until a couple of playthroughs in, and even after that it still rapes boredom dead as an action ludo

>not even 15 replies in already bitching about souls even if it wasnt mentioned
you joyless fags probably dont even play games anymore

>>715364181
take these threads to /vg/ retard

>>715364181
In this thread its either bitching about souls or bitching about ng/dmc. Either way there's bitching

>>715364181
We would be playing action games had Souls games not killed them due to being slop for normalfag cattle.

>>715364280
>due to being slop for normalfag cattle.
But enough about dmc

>>715363276
I hope they add cool platforming or traversal sections now that nioh 3 lets you jump

>>715364053
>arpg series
Exactly; that's why it has no place in the se threads.
By that logic then we should discuss Dark Souls or Elden Ring here.

>>715364369
Discuss what you want, it's all degrees of action

wanted slop: gates 90% of your moveset behind a shitty skill tree, made by janitors from TN
UMMMMM THIS IS GOATED ACTION KINO AMIRITE MORK SISTERS???
kinioh: same, except 20 times more fun to play and level up through and made by the actual TN goats
um... you know... this game is too transphobic for us... please don't mention this game in our threads...

When did DCM become the genre's redheaded stepchild?
I think even Soleil's shovelware gets infinitely more love and respect.

>>715364487
Trvthnvke

>>715364512
when 5 released and they made it like in epic donguri videos except anyone can get SSS and beat DMD

>>715364664
>5 managed to kill the franchise, something not even 2 and DmC managed to
And """"people""""" here still have the gall to defend that piece of shit.

>>715364664
Then why did only 3% of people beat DMD

>>715365045
because you have to be insane to replay 5's campaign

>>715364512

those games never were good and people defended them due to their clout as classic games

current times allow people to talk their mind out freely so it was natural that they would be denounced as the terrible games they are

DMC is the new Bayonetta with how much this schizo can't stop complaining about it

>>715365045
why would you replay a bad game?

>>715365224
To appease fags on /v/

>>715365158
>this schizo
Everyone hates DMC5, anon.

Hot diggity damn doggorino. Just finished my 432nd playthrough of DMC1 DMD New Game with no upgrades or weapon switching or save states in just 17 minutes with all S ranks except mission 14. Oh well round 433 let's g0.

Say it with me. I'M PICKLE RICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>715364487
The only people who mention mork in these threads are the one that have been utterly mindbroken by him, very bizarre

>>715363276
I can't wait for 3

>>715364358
Same. Also hope they beef up enemy aggression and movesets. I feel like ninja style will make the game easy

>>715365525
more like people do this because he's the only one who likes this game, and by extension, his fans do too

>>715365606
The human AI in the alpha was fucked and super passive so don't get your hopes up, ninja mode also doesn't really make the game easier just way more boring since you lose half the stuff that makes nioh combat fun

>>715365780
The game has 68% positive ratings on steam, seems weird to assume every single fan of it watches a sub 50k subscriber channel and get angry about it.

>>715365916
>you lose half the stuff that makes nioh combat fun
That stuff is still there though, you just have access to a different moveset. I hope they expand ninja mode since currently it's fine but samurai mode by comparison has had 3 games worth of improvements so ninja feels anemic. They definitely need to pump up the aggressiveness or numbers or flat out revamp movesets to make enemies more dangerous

>>715366385
It isn't though, you lose ki pulsing and stance dancing which is pretty important, the only addition is rechargeable ninjitsu and aerial combos which should just apart of the base kit, IMO ninja needs alot more to feel worth it especially considering Yasuda confirmed some weapons will be locked to it.

>>715366940
>some weapons will be locked to it.
This is the biggest issue I have with it. We'll see how it pans out since there's a lot of time left. Maybe we'll get a beta even

>>715363276
1 > 2

>>715367518

Is Vanquish worth playing in 2025? If yes should I use a controller or KBM

>>715367569
you sure about that?

>>715367720
Bit of an odd comparison but 1 definitely had much better cutscenes and atmosphere

>>715367691
it's okay, but you need to go out of your way to play it in a fun way

>>715367720
Nioh isn't garbage like Senran Kagura so you don't need to use coombait to win an argument.

>>715367910
Nioh 1 dual bosses > Nioh 2 regenerating hp sponge bosses

>>715368491
Na uh

loopy

From Software is heavily weakened due to the double whammy of Shadow of the Erdtree and their new focus on multiplayer slop so Ninja Gaiden 4 has a good chance of destroying them for good.

>>715368790
They're not even competing for the same niche

>>715368852
Soulslikes are the reason we aren't getting proper action games anymore.
If Soulslikes are killed by a proper action game and said game is commercially successful then developers will stop chasing that dragon and instead focus on action games again.

Remember, during the sixth console generation action games were very commonplace; they were easily at the time whats Soulslikes are now.

>>715368491
>boss regains less than 1% HP per second

srsly bruh just attack them nigga

>>715369039
You really think soulsfags are going to play actual action games given the opportunity?

>>715369039
This is so fucking retarded and schizophrenic. They do not have the same audience. Souls games took off because they're action RPGs. They share far more DNA with the legend of zelda and monster hunter than DMC and ninja gaiden. Genres just die sometimes. RTS, Arena Shooters, SHMUPs, fighting games etc. are all niche now for the same reason the kids aren't listening to classic rock anymore. Different times bring different tastes.

>>715369535
Indeed Soulsfags who only play From Software slop won't but they're a minority.
Normalfags who play Soulslop because the marker is saturated with them and there is no real alternative will move to action games if the become trendy enough and From Software is properly killed, especially if developers start replacing Soulslop with real action games.

>>715369662
Read again my post and take a while to understand where I'm going.

>>715369662
>RTS
this genre is still alive
>Arena Shooters
this genre is dead
>SHMUP
dead genre
>fighting games
dragon ball fighterz sold 10 millions so nah

>>715369796
>Normalfags who play Soulslop because the marker is saturated with them and there is no real alternative will move to action games
Probably yeah
>From Software is properly killed
They've made enough money from elden slop and their new multiplayer game + shitch 2 exclusive to make more games, potentially passion projects. If anything I think we'll see another sekiro or armored core which imo isn't a bad thing. Soon as that well is dry they'll probably go back to soulsslop

Wait... /v/ says DMC is a bad series but /v/ also told me DMC2 is one of the greatest action games ever. Something's not adding up here...

Anarchy Reigns & Bleeding Edge....................those were the days.....................*sips bang's*

>>715364512
capcom blew all their goodwill (again)

>>715370858
CAGfags let THIS kino die??

>>715370624
Sometimes a bad series, be by accident or because its developers finally got the hang of good game design, release a decent game.
It's not that hard to understand.

>>715358973 (OP)
>character action
>fucking Wanted Dead and Senran over DMC
Cmon now

>>715372332
Enemies actually fight back on those games, unlike DMC.

dmc is the only one that qualifies for the "character action" term because it's ONLY YOUR CHARACTER DOING ANY ACTION LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

Lmao

I 'member when DMC was /v/core

>>715373590
Or people finally got to play the games and realized they sucked.

>>715374419
That doesn't make sense logically since everyone played them for years before schizos started freaking out about them. It's just another nu4chan symptom

Is there anyone left at platinum to patch Bayo 1-3

>>715374585
Plenty of games and franchises are praised because they are regarded as "legendary" even when only very few people have played them. For example Sakura Taisen is the textbook example.
Devil May Cry is the same; it had prestige as one of those so-called legendary franchises because only a few people played them back during the PS2 / PS3 eras and games from that age are idealized and idolized.

Then thanks to things like the collection, 4SE and 5 people finally got to play the games, finding that they never were good games in the first place.

>>715364512
It's not. It's just the most popular so it gets a lot of hate from contrarians that make up places like this

>>715364512
>When did DCM become the genre's redheaded stepchild?
Literally only /v/schizos and shartcord are trying to push this shit.

These threads are becoming more and more retarded and anons are just using them to have a bait arms race at this point.
But I guess this is just what happens when the genre is fucking dead and the last relevant game that belongs to it came out more than 5 years ago.

Someone post that chart listing all the action game releases during the past ten years and the upcoming ones.
CAG is easily the most prolific genre right now.
