Hopes & fears for Ninja Gaiden 4.

>>715438856 (OP)
This may be an absolute heresy to Gaidenfags, but NG2 on Acolyte was incredinbly fun experience without much frustration. On Very Hard (forgot the name of the difficulty) I dropped it on that thunder dude at the top of the Statue of Liberty.

it pisses me off there's no cuhrayzee game with modding tools

Ninja Gaiden 4 has the perfect chance to revive action games and destroy Soulslikes forever; anons better preorder the game!

>>715439764
Wishful thinking

>>715439764
As much as I'd love that, let's be realistic - it will probably flop and at best do ok.

>>715439110
"Who cares if the game is broken, unfinished and pigeonholes a single strategy that warps it back to being braindead on the later difficulty, just play the easy ones" is an unironic talking point NG2 cultists have used, in the same breath as jerking off the game for its "difficulty" while trying to shit on games for being easy and for not playing on their hardest modes.

>>715439764
This will never happen.
Souls are Call of Duty tier now after Elden Ring

>>715439991
I'm so proud of Fromsoft!

>>715439834
>Soulslike fatigue among audience to the point where /v/ of all places turned their back on From
>From Software is on a very weakened state due to the Concord-tier dual disaster that was Shadow of the Erdtree and Nightreign
>After the failure of hero shooters publishers are desperate for a new trend
Ninja Gaiden 4 has the perfect chance to succeed

>>715439991
And Call of Duty is dead now, trying to imitate Fortnite.
There is no such thing as an unkillable genre

>>715439764
No, I'm pre ordering nioh 3

For a long time I liked NG2 more than NGB, but after going through on higher difficulties I don’t think it’s close anymore, NGB is the best action game out there. NG2 is great but the flaws just get more and more glaring. I actually think NG2B might be the better game overall desu

ng2 is the hardest video game in existance

>>715440375
keep on dreaming tranny, you guiys don't even play your own games

>>715440375
There is also the fact that /v/ holds immense power and influence ver the industry.
It was /v/ who made Dark Souls big; /v/ can easily make Ninja Gaiden a cultural phenomenon.

>>715440492
Nioh 3 will be a commercial failure. You're wasting your money.

>>715438856 (OP)
It's called Hack and Slash though

>>715440680
>Nioh 3 will be a commercial failure. You're wasting your money.
Why would it's critical reception with normalfags lessen my enjoyment?

>>715439764
Ng4 looks like shit with 0 hype. Not sure why you're sucking down that copium

Any hopes for lost soul aside or crimson desert being good action games and not roll slop?

>>715440789
There is no enjoyment to be get from that shitty game.
If you want fun buy NG4.

>>715438856 (OP)
How do I stop getting filtered by the first boss in Ninka Gaiden Black? Playing on Xemu, and the constant bugs are frustrating enough as is.

>>715440926
Keep crying, I'll pre order 2 copies just for you
>NG4
No idea what that is

>>715439764
Even if it has good sales (it won't, no hype) it also has to be a good game to have any staying power at all. My prediction is that it will have MGRR+NG3RE gameplay without the anything that endears it to normalfags like the former

>>715441143
Pls give me one of the copies, I'm poor.

>>715440994
Which bugs? It runs flawlessly on my machine.
Do you mean Murai? You have to dodge and whiff punish. Literally a souls boss.

>>715441246
Soon as I can pre order it

>>715440513
NGB is just a better curated experience. If Itagaki & co could've held it together at TN for a bit longer they probably would have given us a real "black" update that's on the same level as NGB instead of just shit thrown at the wall

>>715439110
This game breaks your brain. After doing Tests of Valor on Master Ninja, it rewires your synapses to find the pace of the campaign on MN very refreshing. Stockholm syndrome. You just need to play it long enough to internalize the frustration.

>>715441143
Buy another for me (I'm on PC).

>>715441341
>Which bugs?
The sceeen going black or becoming "vertical" and only a quarter of it being visible. It's probably an issue stemming from the XISO because the emulator itself still runs fine. A possible cause might be the software I used to convert NGB from ISO to XISO, as prior format wouldn't load for some reason.

You get nioh 3
And >>715441685 you get nioh 3

>>715439764
NG4 will fail because the only way an asian action game can succeed nowadays is by tapping into the chinese market and the only way to do that is make it about a female protagonist with huge ass/tits and make the gameplay as braindead as possible where all you do is mash 1 button and occasionally press dodge.
NG4 fails on both fronts.

>>715441862
Why does she use wheels?

>>715441941
Thanks, that explains stellar blade

his most punishable thing is his forward advancing dodge, you can reliably bait and punish it
alternatively you can spam the wall attack, more random, but works for a noob too

>>715438856 (OP)
I'm playing NG3 seriously trying to do all the achievements and some deathless runs (only on normal)

>The girls

They're still worse than Ryu. Grab city with them

>Kasumi

Really fun, but it's the least safe of the three.

>Master Collection

I dislike that there's no practice mode. of all my playthroughs of this game including vanilla, this is the first time I've started to lab something different, and I really miss the practice mode. almost downloading the wii u or 360 version so I can practice the strings better. Master Collection my ass

>Why don't I go on higher difficulties for deathless

It's not a lack of skill but a lot of the bad stuff from NG3 is still in the game. I'm just dreading having to try deathless spider tank on a clean save

>NG3 problem

I downloaded MGR from the 360 to see if there were any noticeable differences between it and the PC version (which I played on revegeance btw), and I noticed that in NG3 a lot of the strings in the game aren't safe and that's because the enemies are fast and aggressive. Unlike MGR where they have a slower response time and Raiden's attacks have bigger hitboxes and better framedata. So that's why dual katana feels like garbage in the game. Flashy shit is useless in a game where not only are enemies aggressive, but they have insane recovery and armor.

>>715440513
I prefer NG2B overall compared to 2 after playing both a few months apart. 2 is more entertaining in typical combat scenarios with its higher enemy counts and faster kills, but there's just too many dogshit terrible segments that you have to make yourself forget and not let them ruin the whole experience for you. Sigma was a direct downgrade but NG2B successfully fixed the most glaring faults by adding blood/gore back in, removing the dogshit statue of liberty type bosses, and in a post launch update they greatly increased the enemy counts in a few scenarios (e.g. the staircase on Master Ninja now has the correct comically high amount of ninjas).

>>715440994
Roll back and attack with Y

>>715441982
In nip lore, originally the kasha was a flaming cart that stole your soul when you die. Over time nips decided its a flaming cat yokai instead, hence the design a fusion of the two

>>715442395
Nip lore isn't reliable, even less so in Nioh, which like all video games is inspired by pop culture.

what do I do when a ninja nigger sticks me with an IS? I always default to blocking and waiting till it explodes to iframe it

>>715442736
Then why ask nigger

ng1 would've been 100 times better if it didn't take a year to load after my death

>>715442865
Taht wasn't me, I asked the question originally.

I think the snappiest of these games is NG2 vanilla, then NG1 and then NG3. Restarting NG3 to load your save is much slower than restarting NG1 and going to the menu to load your save. Since NG1 will store the data and it will be instantaneous.

>>715439110
Nah. Completely valid. NG2, while among my favorite games of all time, is terribly balanced above Warrior (Normal.) Mentor is okay but kind of frustrating, but Master Ninja is utterly broken. The difficulty comes from sensory overload more than anything.

As >>715441679 says, some masochists have learned to love the way MNM is broken. I think a lot of that comes from no other game throwing so much bullshit at you at once, so when you do manage to adapt to it, everything else feels slow.

>>715439905
>All NG fans are one person

>>715442229
Try the game. That's not how it plays.

Notably, it's not a terribly deep game, but that's not an accurate description of it either.

>>715444169
>All NG fans are one person
more like NG has one fan HAHA AM I RIGHT DMCBROS????

>>715444169
>no other game throws as much bullshit at you, everything else feels slow
I would agree up to about Mentor difficulty, but I just don’t think Master Ninja outweighs how frustrating it is. Call it a skill issue, I don’t care. If I want a fix of ultra fast paced crackhead gameplay, I would rather play Doom Eternal instead

>>715439905
>pigeonholes a single strategy
Shitter detected

so is ninja gaiden 2 black worth grabbing as a dmc-only looking get into ninja gaiden

>>715439764
Unfortunately they shit the bed by changing protagonists and letting Platinum act as the primary devs.

Yakumo's design and playstyle turned off a lot of Ninja Gaiden fans unfortunately, myself included. I've been begging for a new NG, bought NG2B the day it shadow dropped but still haven't preordered NG4 because everything I've seen of it makes me think it's going to be a game to buy on sale. I'm still waiting for something -- anything -- to convince me to pull the trigger.

>>715444594
Not disagreeing with you anon, that's kinda my point. For 99.9% of players, MNM is at best a one time playthrough, but most just won't enjoy it and will drop it before finishing. The few who do are the ones who will find that constant flow of bullshit to be something they miss in other games.

To be clear, I'm in that 99.9%. I finished MNM once on NG2, and once in NG2B. I hate MNM in NG2. NGB is fine, though I still prefer Hard, but NG2 is just unbalanced ass. I just get where the people who like it are coming from.

NG2 is only good in mission/survival mode

I'm not buying it after that terrible Ryu gameplay they showed a few days ago.

Peak genre tier list
NG1 > Bayonetta > RE6 > DMC3

FF16 with several mods actually turns the game into a very solid action title. Namely a CE table for 2 more eikon skill slots per eikon and higher difficulty. Very fluid and fun.

>>715445097
I'm confused as to why Wilds is in here. Or really what this post is trying to say in general, but specifically Wilds is really throwing me off.

>>715445829
because it's an action game, and CAG isn't a real term

>CAG

>>715446352
ok bros I think ng3 might be better than 2

>>715446028
Character Action Game is a subgenre. "Action Game" is an incredibly broad term, and can include nearly any game that focuses on combat. Control is an action game. Red Dead Redemption is an action game. Arkham is an action game. Gears of War is an action game. Diablo is an action game. Just like something like "Action RPG," Character Action is used to further define the subgenre so people know you're talking about a specific type of game within the larger Action genre. If you have a better term for it, go for it.

Character Action specifically refers to games where the focus is on tight, fast paced, complex, usually melee-based combat, generally being played out by a single character with a list of skills which expands but can eventually be fully completed to provide a full arsenal of movesets to the player.

>>715447014
The problem with this kind of definition is that it carries an expectation of quality with it. If a bad CAG comes out, people would just say it doesn’t count in the genre at all because it’s not complex enough or deep enough or whatever else. It’s not a real subgenre, especially not when people headcanon it to mean “games with the best combat systems” even though that leaves out games like RE4 or Nioh 2

>>715447014
thanks chat gpt

>>715447230
>RE4
Third person shooter, not an action game

>Nioh 2
Action RPG. Some action game trappings but at the end isn't an action game.

I think the biggest hypocrisy is the fact that the definition of action game is stretched by anons as far as possible so games like Nier Automata, RE4 or Nioh 2 are included but Soulslikes somehow "don't count".

souls likes don't count because they have shit combat so there's nothing to discuss and play with unlike re4, re6, nioh2, etc.

>>715447230
Nah, that's disingenuous bullshit. There are bad CAGs out there, like Ninja Blade on the 360, for example, or even DMC2.

RE4 is a third person shooter. It doesn't have the complex combat, combos, increasing list of skills, etc. that CAGs exemplify. RE4 plays the same at the beginning as it does at the end, you just get more guns to use. I adore the game, but it's not a CAG.

Nioh is closer to an Action RPG/Soulslike. As mentioned, CAGs generally don't have any customization -- you can focus on some skills to get to the final skill list, but in the end everyone has access to the same toolkit eventually. A game that focuses on builds and stats is inherently more in the RPG realm than the CAG realm, plus Nioh doesn't have complex combos or intricate systems; it's fast-paced, but generally execution is quite simple. That said, it's definitely one I could see being arguable for the genre, I just think it's got too many RPG/Soulslike elements to fit into the CAG category myself.

As always, categorizing things like this is a bit arbitrary, so it's not gonna be the same for everyone.

>>715447768
Similarly, I think anyone who doesn't recognize that Soulslikes are action games are idiots. That's the whole reason the subgenres exist; "Action game" is too broad of a category. Technically, Soulslikes are Action RPGs, but the Souls series has introduced so many elements that have become staples, that it's worth specifying games within even that subgenre which include those elements, especially because they often show up in games that otherwise AREN'T action RPGs, ala Hollow Knight. HK is primarily a Metroid-like, obviously, but has enough elements that I think it's worth also calling it a Soulslike, or a least a Metroid-like with Soulike elements.

My beloved

>RE4 plays the same at the beginning as it does at the end, you just get more guns to use. I adore the game, but it's not a CAG.

When does MGR get good? Just beat the second boss

>>715449030
boss fights are the only good part...

>>715448443
That equipment doesn't change how you interact with the game in any fundamental way. You have five weapon types: handgun, machine gun, shotgun, sniper, explosives. The way you interact with ALL of them is aim and shoot, and the only difference is in fire rate, range and area of effect. The way you PLAY THE GAME doesn't evolve. By the time you get the TMP, you have 90% of the tools you'll get by the end of the game in terms of unique mechanics. There are no extensive mechanics to learn in terms of how your character plays, properties of moves, combos, etc. Again, by your definition, EVERY game is a character action game. You getting better at the game is not the game itself becoming more complex. You ignored everything I mentioned leading up to that sentence.

Why are you trying to include RE4? It's very clearly a Third Person Shooter. Like, it's the archetypal TPS since it set a lot of standards modern TPS games use. Stunning enemies and using a QTE to kick them in the face isn't a deep combat system. There's no benefit to trying to include it in a different genre.

>>715449030
It's honestly never great. It has good moments, and the music adds a lot of cheesy hype, but the Platinum jank and floaty combat marbles through the whole experience.

>>715448251
So CAGs need progression systems where you play differently at the start than the end, but Nioh doesn’t count because it’s an action RPG?
>>715449247
RE4 absolutely is a deep game, and the fact you think it isn’t is a sign of what’s wrong with CAG as a genre. People have strayed so far from the roots of the “genre” that they’ve forgotten about beat em up style combat fundamentals that games like RE4 and ironically even soulslikes focus on. There’s more depth in the simple act of moving, aiming, and shooting in RE4 than anything in MGR or DMC-style combo simulators with a billion moves. I don’t care if it’s a CAG or not, it’s a top tier action game.
>>715449514
MGR is a mediocre game at best. Normies like it because of the music and memes and final boss fight, literally nothing else about it is good.

>>715449247
different hitboxes and firerates already mean different interaction with enemies, different guns also have different stagger power, range, etc., etc. Thats like saying light and heavy attacks are the same thing except here you unlock them as the game progresses, and obviously you play differently if you use a shotgun vs a sniper rifle.
also,
>Again, by your definition, EVERY game is a character action game
I didnt say anything about cags other than that the term is illegitimate and only made to feel good for playing certain games
btw, Bayonetta has "everything" unlocked from the start outside of a couple of moves (those are mostly for flair) and weapons that arent particularly game changing a couple of gimmicks aside. Is it an action adventure something instead of a """"CAG"""?

>>715444169
>no other game throwing so much bullshit at you
rhythm games and shmups exist
ninja gayden 2 is nothing special

>>715449817
>So CAGs need progression systems where you play differently at the start than the end, but Nioh doesn’t count because it’s an action RPG?
I think progression systems in CAGs is more about allowing players to become acquainted with all of the tools available to the player without overwhelming them, but a good progression system is usually a sign of a good CAG, yes. Nioh, as I mentioned, has a strong focus on stats and builds. That's the RPG element that pushes it into the Action RPG genre for me. Again, in a CAG, everyone has the same tools available to them by the end of the game, where in something like Nioh, you're building stats, specializing builds, etc. The RPG style progression is a major element of the game, as opposed to a CAG where the progression is usually more about expanding your moveset which will eventually be fully unlocked.

>I don’t care if it’s a CAG or not, it’s a top tier action game.
Completely agree with that. Not sure what your point is then, though. I already said RE4 is an Action Game, in the TPS subgenre. Amazing game, and it does have its depth, but I can't agree that it has "more depth in the simple act of moving, aiming and shooting." It...just doesn't. It FEELS really good to do in that game, but it's not deep. It's just learning spacing and aiming for weak points.

>>715450043
>different hitboxes and firerates...different guns also have different stagger power, range, etc., etc.
Sure, but all of that is try of ANY TPS. In your mind, does TPS as a genre not exist?

>I didnt say anything about cags other than that the term is illegitimate and only made to feel good for playing certain games
Nothing about the term CAG implies quality. It's just a focus and expansion on certain elements of action games. The term exists to help people find similar games to others in the genre.

>Bayonetta...Is it an action adventure something instead of a """"CAG"""?
See above about progression in CAGs.

>>715450135
Fair, it's more accurate to say, no other character action game. I'd imagine there's a not insignificant overlap between people who enjoy hardcore schmups and people who like NG2 MNM.

>>715449817

>>715450430
>Sure, but all of that is try of ANY TPS. In your mind, does TPS as a genre not exist?
the game is obviously a tps, and a survival horror, and an action adventure, all of these fit the game, just like an "action game" label and this one happenes exceed in action department to make it into this thread, just like NGB that can also be qualified as an action adventure while being a """CAG"""
>Nothing about the term CAG implies quality
yeah, the term was made to make you feel good for playing "action games, but deep and epic"

>>715450742
its an action game with really good combat, just like every other CAG

>>715450742
Yes (chaos anhiliation game)

>>715441690
I used the one right off of vimm's without any modification and it worked fine

>>715450430
Nioh's stats and builds do not affect access to your tools. Everyone has the same tools available to them by the end of the game and a huge part of the progression is about expanding your moveset via unlocking skills, completing dojo missions and getting skill drops from boss fights. It's entirely about allowing players to become acquainted without being overwhelmed and keep the game fresh going onwards. Almost every action game in existence has a heavy focus on specific customization and "build" choices through weapon, style, stance, character, ability and even equipment choice. Nioh just gives you more to customize in this regard if you wish without sacrificing any of its combat depth and options in any way, and in many ways that only reflects the genre further in its implementation as it increases challenge flexibility.
This conversation is just retarded pussyfooting in general because games belong to multiple genres, people should just talk about videogames if they want to talk about videogames and the results will speak for themselves. Even though barely anyone in these threads knows a thing about any game, even the ones they try to artificially push or exclude.

>>715454896
It's pretty slow and mainly goes up from landing hits with a bonus from OTs, but I think it'll be fine either way. They might like to focus on the big charged hits on the odachi but I don't expect it to be that much stronger as a moveset in function, so being able to swap into it often mid string will be more interesting and encouraged.

The combat is excellent in Rising even if the constant juice crushing gets old and you really only have one main weapon in the whole game. And the presentation is the best in the genre yet.

When you get to Sam's dlc.

How do you feel about the souls concept of poise and applying it to a normal fighting game? I was thinking about how some people hate hyper armor and how some people hate enemies that get hitstunned out of everything and how you could get the best of both worlds and came up with something that is unintentionally similar to souls poise. Now I didn't look into this but from what I remember at least in some soils games you have poise, which determines how resilient you are to being hitstunned and every enemy has a poise value as well and all attacks in the game deal poise damage, when your poise goes to 0 you get hit stunned.

I think if you applied this to an action game it could allow more knowledgeable players to find ways to prevent enemies from constantly hyper armoring through stuff if they utilize attacks that either deal enough poise vs that attack outright or to use multiple faster attacks to deplete enough poise too.

And then you add KH2 type revenge values on top. What do you fags think?

>>715464147
Does it help you get S ranks or not?

Who gives a. SHIT.

>>715464147
yeah, bigger weapons should allow you to blow away ennemies who would normally tank your attacks and yet big weapons in action games are just slow with more damage and nothing else

>>715464147
isn't that the reason why smashtards hate brawl

Playing CAG is just like trying to solve a rubikks cube. Except your brainlet brain has so much fun shuffling colors together you forget it was ever a thing to be solved.

>>715464556
freudian slip to mention fighting games, I just meant action games.

>>715464434
I think it could add a lot more depth to all attacks in general. Some games use invincibility frames to fix the "hyper armor" issue and it just doesn't feel right to me

I'm trying ng2b for the first time ( as well my first ng game) and I'm enjoying it, very different from DMC, Bayonetta etc. however if I have a criticism it's that the camera feels very combative at times, and sometimes I lose track of ryu in mobs of enemies.

Am I the only one who got massive pervert vibes from Agnus in DMC4?

>>715465802
You choose the right game.
Abuse A+X whenever you lose sight of Ryu or whatever enemy you're fighting, it's a small jump that's automatically locking into ennemies, and it leads to guillotine throw (another A+X ) or enemy step or a flying swallow. Also abuse your camera reset button.

Here me out

Combine Resident Evil with MGR. Normal mode plays like a kind of normal action game, typical sword slashes and using your gun to briefly stun enemies. However you enter aim mode and you manually aim at limbs to cause various effects like RE to set up aimed slashes (like MGR) to properly cut enemies limbs and heads off

Could it work?

we need more stand characters

Are the Bayo and original DMC anime actually any good?

>>715468346

You unironically need to look up a guide on how to beat murai because he directly punishes you for playing the game the way it wants you to play for the majority of the game. You have to beat him with very specific punishes that aren't necessarily intuitive. He's probably the worst boss in the game, not because he's the hardest but primarily because he's not just poorly designed but he's also the first boss.

>>715470480
Skill issue

>>715445263
Maybe i'll give it a shot. Every time I looked at gameplay all I saw was a guy taking ages to kill the most basic looking, passive enemies. I get it's a JRPG but it seems so extreme with how much health enemies can have

>>715468678
Preach sister. Reuben did an immaculate job portraying 2 Dante in SMT Nocturne. A reminder he can never truly be replaced.

I get it, but it doesn't seem like it'll give any real advantage if you play like a retard. Also yeah that's one reason I can't take the weapon whining that seriously. Having at least 8 weapons and being able to seamlessly switch and combo between all of them will be insane.

Well share with the class. I like the concept quite a bit. Gun stuns them to let you approach safely, sword obviously lets you kill them fast. Add in some cool contextual CC attacks too and it's kind of a recipe for something awesome

>>715484972
>>715484438
>>715466923
It sounds like garbage.
Either the shooting is good enough there is no reason to bother with the melee combat, the melee combat is good enough you don't need to engage with the shooting or you force people to use both which goes against action games' very philosophy.

Basically you're making Wanted:Dead again.

>>715438856 (OP)

>>715485323

No it doesn't lmao, what fucking philosophy is that?

>>715485481
You stop letting people use the game's mechanics at their own leisure and instead you railroad them to an specific shoot-melee-shoot-melee.
On top of taking away the game's speed and frantic pace because you have to stop to aim and shoot.

>>715485323
kek this sounds like the exact "argument" Mork made that proved he didn't understand any games other than memoshmupslop

Ahahahahahahahahahahaha
I just realized that the whole "shoot things, then when they're stunned you do amazing CC thing" is basically the modern Doom games.

>>715485641
>On top of taking away the game's speed and frantic pace because you have to stop to aim and shoot.
RE4 did that and it's one of the best action games ever made. So uhh yeah cope and seethe

>>715485641
>You stop letting people use the game's mechanics at their own leisure
That's not a core philosophy of action games. Majority of these games have enemies that ask you to do specific things to beat them.
>On top of taking away the game's speed and frantic pace because you have to stop to aim and shoot.
Who said you have to make the character stop to shoot? Either way, Resident Evil 4 is literally an action game whether you like it or not, it shares a lot of similar design principles as actual action games and mikami went and made God Hand directly after, a game with tank controls, no jump, and in general limited mobility.

Having a game that properly mixes aiming guns and swordplay can definitely work, it just hasn't been done properly. People bring up wanted:dead except wanted dead uses 3rd person shooting mechanics in THE most generic way possible.

RE 6 disproves everything you're saying.

Why isn't God of War included in these threads? GoW 1 and 2 are god-tier and just as good as DMC

>>715487530
The idea came from me wanting more games like Vanquish and RE6, which no studios are making anymore.
You shoot at glowing weak spots to take off chunks of the enemies' armor, then you get to finish them or shoot at a mega weak spot to make them explode.
It's more gun heavy than what you said earlier. The melees are for "get the fuck away from me" and finishers.

>>715488581
nah gow combat is too shit. also just a fuck ton of puzzles and platforming segments

>>715491042
>also just a fuck ton of puzzles and platforming segments
Literally DMC1

>>715464147

The wonderful 101 already has this, using team attack or the gun will get the little guys to climb onto enemies and after a certain time you will stun enemies, letting them be juggled freely.

Bayonetta 3 also has this with the big enemies, but it is less elegant, you simply do enough damage with the summons until you "break" them; madame butterfly's special attack has the same effect on enemies too.

>>715488634
Not too bad. One of my favorite things about kamiya action games is that he always makes sure enemies have their body/armor destroyed the less health they have and it's always cool basically stripping the enemies down as you kill them. I could definitely see something like that for this where you have to break off their armor to reveal the fleshy bits

>DMC 1

>>715488634
If you haven't played them, I would highly recommend playing Lost Planet, and especially Lost Planet 2 with a gunsword.

>>715491175
Not exactly the same thing I was thinking of. The idea is that using the right moves will allow you to continue aggression but you have to have the right moves available and recognize the enemies attack to properly interrupt it.
It's not so much about full on stunning the enemies but being able to stop them from attacking but with more nuance to "armor" attacks.

Positioning, timing, reactions and moves equipped/character + enemy and their attacks ideally all play a role. The fast pace nature would mean if you're prepared, you can blow an enemies attack out, but if you're not prepared, get greedy going for a longer recovery move while they wind up their next action, different spacing, etc might prevent you from being able to deal enough poise to prevent them from doing the attack

based, this also has my approval, it's very stylized but does so from a place of being informed and mostly well researched. I love how each location is based on a specific real world Aztec city and has some of their landmarks, that enemies explode into hummingbirds when they die as a reference to soldiers being reborn as them in the afterlife, etc

There's no other decently well researched Mesoamerican action games (Marlow Briggs and the Mask of death is basically slop as far as it's authenticity is concerned, but is a bafflingly solid action game for it's price), but for other genres check out Tlatoani: Aztec Cities, Expedition Conquistador, Sixth Sun by saveslothstudio, Plus Ultra Legado, , Ancient Talke: ixkik' by Roddanchill, etc

Also for non game media, Onyx Equinox, Zotz (the comic) and Dream Rider, Codex Black, the upcoming Aztec batman film (see webm), Necahual, and Maya and the Three

>>715492071
Player speed is a bit faster since there's sprinting, both games can let you go fast if you get a hang of using the anchor but 2 improves on it even further. It improves on basically everything in general, even as a solo experience overall despite the campaign largely being sold as a 4 player co-op game. Level design has a lot of variety to it in terms of open areas and tighter zones but there is always multiple ways of going through each area, due to the multiplayer nature they put a lot of effort into each place as they're separated by rankings. The unlock system for guns, skills etc. being mostly RNG is the only thing approaching a downside and the game is just outstanding in all regards, one of the best games ever made and the way Capcom have handled the game and series is one of the most disgusting things they've done.

If you want to keep the pace quick you might want to consider increasing the size of the weak spots, when they're that small it's going to be too finicky to hit them consistently even with slow-mo and especially if you're aiming two guns at once. Also I have to say it, the MC design looks atrocious.

Hack and Slash is a trash genre, only the first Ninja Gaiden was interesting because of the difficulty and the overall design of the game.

>>715502002
>>rest=souls
what the fuck is that supposed to mean

>>715501492
I don't think it matters that much, at least not in Ragebound's case. It's not like Ryu is much of a character. The real issue is that Yakumo looks like a zoomer twink and Kenji looks so similar to classic Ryu that he might as well have just been classic Ryu. When Shinobi swapped Joe for Hotsuma they at least had the decency to make Hotsuma look cool and completely different. Even Jiro in the 3DS Shinobi was a better move.

>>715500603

Fighting games are a joke with a horrible, faggot, corporate and e-celeb worshipping paypiggy community you have to engage with and the games themselves are horribly designed

Thanks for the feedback, anon. At one point I'm going to redesign it. That being said, a gender ambiguous pretty boy is what I am going for. Still, I swear the end product is going to look better.

The genre is a total joke though, the more you play the worse the genre becomes

>>715503805
>Dumbed down games
city of the wolves is not a dumbed down game

>>715504350

you dont play fighting games
you are just a whiny bitch

>>715438856 (OP)
The only good DmC game was DmC: Devil May Cry. Combat was the best, visuals were fucking weird as shit but great, MC was Dante but better.

If you have to ask when something "gets good" instead of figuring it out yourself when to keep going or just drop it, then you're a drooling retard.

>>715503687
You can go for that if you want, but the design and aesthetic style still has to be appealing, when I said that I meant that it didn't look that way intentionally and that it was just ugly and didn't have any of its own style or personality, the design itself just looked dumb. I'm sure it's just a consequence of it being a work in progress but it's at least something worth keeping in mind when that day comes.

ninja gaiden is a beat em up

If I could Ninja Gaiden esque gameplay, but as a Star Wars Sith Lord, it would be a dream come true.

time spent in 3 dmc games vs. time spent in 1 ninja gaiden

Are NGfags fucking retarded?

>>715510645
There's a correlation, he's not wrong

Wow, so any game I put more time into makes it better than other games? That means Starless Nymphomaniacs Paradise is better than NG

>>715510748
No, this just means you have 0 self control

>>715510952
Wait but I thought putting more time into games means they're better when it's NG? Now it means you have no self control?

This seems to be the thread to ask for it

There is apparently a gook or chink game being made right now that leans more towards the classic action genre than the current standard of souls, does anyone remember the name? And if they do, are there any news? It looked interesting.

LMAOOOOOOOOO found this kino on youtube

>>715511986
This is exactly what happens every time there's a trailer with flashy sword flips and slow-mo camera pans. Everyone loses their minds, screams GOTY, then proceeds to never touch it again because the combat was just a polished tech demo with no soul. It's the Genshin Effect-style over substance and zero staying power.

Yeah if only it was as deep as hold Y to invincibly awesome at 5fps on the greatest hardware ever made

DMC fans didn't ruin action games.
Souls fans did.

Yeah CUHRAYZEEEEEE nig nogs ruined action games alright

CUHRAYZEEEEEE fags are 4 and 5 fans, dmc3 CHADS are humble chess piece murderers.

Two extremes of the retard spectrum. Two sides of the same coin.

dmc5 killed action games because every normie on earth played it on normal once, mindlessly mashed through the entire campaign and thought the entire genre is just baby button masher shit

Mashing combos isn't Character Action.

>>715526513
>because every normie on earth played it on normal once
shit games dont deserve to be replayed

character doing action isn't Character Action.

just realized if you want a solid action game you have to play games from 15 - 20 years ago and bmups...

Uhhh sweaty. N-word is you.

>>715523129
it's good

>>715438856 (OP)
DMC games are clunky pieces of shit, Bayonetta is a logical evolution and felt way smoother with dodge offset being one of the most satisfying mechanics ever in a game. Ninja Gaiden Black is still 10/10

Everything since then is just a shameless disgusting ripoff or rehash

Action games are niche because they're for people with high IQ.
Souls games are aimed to the average Joe so of course they're going to be dumber and more profitable.

Action games would stop being good if they aimed to the same mass audience as Souls games.

The line literally comes from 3 and was popular before the PS3 gen was a thing.

>>715536140
Not much to comment on but it's nice to see the UT getting blocked

>>715536428
pft. they are all secondaries who secretly hate dmc 3 because of "bad enemy designs" and other stupid shit, they moved on to other games like 4 and 5 the second they could.

>>715536428
NTA but the CUHRAYZEE idea is more about long air juggle combo MADs which while they did exist in 3 anyone playing the game could tell wasn't the standard gameplay while 4 and especially 5 leaned into it.
It's like if there were a new bing bing wahoo game where the intended experience was made to appeal to people who want the game to look like a speedrun.

>>715537107
>"bad enemy designs"
This is true tho, a lot of dmc 3 enemies are badly designed, like most of the recolored skeletons with 1 or 2 attacks each. Chess are generally trash too, maybe outside of that one fight on the literal chessboard when you fight against every piece type .

>>715537625
hm. seems like I've stumbled upon another secondary.

>>715537952
All I'm sayin is that DMC 1 had better enemy types than 3.

>>715538048
easier. I think you mean easier.

>mogs dmc 5

5 is good because it has that brown jewess that looks like she stinks

>>715513738

dmc was always outsold by classic god of war
all games in the genre, with the exception of bayonetta and ninja gayden, were always inspired by the classic god of war and none of them managed to succeed

there is a reason why this genre is almost dead

bayonetta sold above 2 millions and now is a nintendo exclusive

wow surprised this thread is still alive and hit bump limit. onto the next one!

It's a genre that is best suited to AA production in an environment where the only AA games that really succeed are """""indie""""" games.

>>715540656
>there is a reason why this genre is almost dead
Because souls formula is easier to make, cheaper and STARTED to sell better after being pushed hard. Demon's souls during late 00s sold less than a million copies.
