Why did these suddenly die? Talking DMC, Bayo and Ninja Gaiden-likes was fun

>>716319564 (OP)
suddenly? those game had like 2 competent dev team (platinum and tn) and thats it

HOLY FLIP WHAT the fuck was that new move!!

>Why did these suddenly die?
Pity bump that won't save the thread but in case the bait question did make me think.

Since millenial generation I haven't seen a single game dev studio of multiple people outside literal fangames.
Best you got is millenial slave labor in prior studios that are currently skinwalkers in name like Insomniac or NaughtyDog for the gayest specimens from gen x that blacklisted all the other talent that made our vidya.
Stylish Action outside Japan is from nerds who made it in their garage for nerds who dwell in their basement. Ever since social media hit the normalcattle sphere it just straight up vanished.
Barely any millenial brought their flash games to proper games statuses and any zoomer talent is devoured by roblox never in most malicious way.

Speaking of... zoomers consume lots of action stuff in roblox but yeh, it will die there.

>>716319564 (OP)
Because DMC (especially 5) is considered shovelware now while Wanted:Dead became the new gold standard for the genre.

we already discussed this shit to death, man
the only real answer to this question is
>executives are greedy fucks
>devs are lazy fucks
>both are uncreative fucks
>the average game-purchaser is a tasteless fuck

ninja gayden and bayonetta always had bad sales

>>716322174
true, crapcom probably lied about the sales

>>716322279
yeah bro they sold so bad they made like 5 ngs and 4 bayos

>>716322409
>bayos

fuck you

>>716322174
>where is dmc 6?
Itsuno became a hack after Dragon's Dogma 1 and only managed to salvage good elements from Donte's diarrhea of a game thus making DMC V a good game, but that was it.

>>716322409
Two nioh games have outsold the entire NG franchise, the remaster sold 240k copies in its first year which is less than fucking dynasty warriors 9 empires,

Devs who wants to appeal to a wider audience allways try to simplify the gameplay but it never works, it just makes the core fans angry. In realty casuals don't really care about depth one way or the other, they care about style. The success of DMC and GoW show this. You can have a deep action game find mainstream success as long as it looks cool and has good music.

>>716322770
It's because 3D NG is a dogshit game franchise that only contrarians pretend to like.

>>716322770
modern games in general sell more than older ones bc the audience is much bigger
modern gow sold much more than older games too, are they niche flops now?

>>716322960
Games are inherently about learning and adapting. They don't need to be simplified, just intuitive and make sense.
Nioh is an example of a bad way to do it. It'a a bunch of needless complexity.

>cicada surges mid-air
Nah bro got the infinite aura cheatcode, what the fuck?

>>716323346
I don't get why Team Ninja is so obsessed with Diablo loot. Nioh 2 and Stranger of Paradise would be some of the best action games ever made if not for that.

No one buys hack n slashes because they were le deep and hardcore. Regular gamers might have seen the Main Menu once. Kamiya is gonna save the genre and put the hardcore gaymers where they belong.

the way the games are designed jail them from ever obtaining mass popularity. having a more tight knit audience who don't demand simplification and appreciate the vision is a worthy sacrifice, it's better this way.

>>716322174
It wasn't. Since release DMC5 has been a permanent bundle fixture so most of those 10 million sales come from people paying $2 in average.

>>716325901
People seem to be extremely picky and not willing to say that a game might not be for everyone; or that a game might be overall solid with a few noticeable flaws. It either has to be a perfect must-play or total shit not worth your time.

>>716327210

Good and new. Has an actual community. Can't use it for political shitflinging. Hard to play at its hardest but still filling with mechanics and player expression.

Y'know everything /v/ hates.

>>716327210
/v/ aren't really all over anything, maybe like 5% of the board is actual game discussion

>>716327417
The best way to play ultrakill is by setting up sawtraps or trying to nuke enemies as they spawn. It's a speedtranny slop

>>716327290
>overestimate
Most people buy most of their games via those bundles.
10 million sales at $60-70 each piece should make DMCV infinitely more profitable than Monster Hunter and Resident Evil, but it didn't. It's because in reality people paid $2 for the game.

I now you love to pretend that DMCV made more money than the Call of Duty franchise and Elden Ring put together, but you need to face reality.

>>716326807
nah fuck off retards, its still a fun action game, it counts as a CAG

>>716327591
Where did i say DMCV made more money than cod? you're making up a guy to get mad at

>>716325901
>>716327562
I personally blacklisted Ultrakill due to its fanbase being insufferable. I blacklisted Signalis and Hollow Knight for the same reason.
It would mean kneeling to the people who hate the games I like and keeps telling me how they're slop and shit and I should play Ultrakill / Signalis / Hollow Knight instead.

>>716327696
So you're so mentally stunted you can't recognize hyperbole? No wonder you unironically believe that every single DMC5 copy was bought at $60 a piece.

>>716327576
Everyone that used to regurgitate this take is getting their shit kicked in by lategame shit that cant be melted by sawblades and forces you to be good at pressing buttons, speedtrannying is becoming increasingly less popular in the lategame as it becomes harder and harder to make it formulaic
You can just not use them, for normal play nailguns are arguably better now against the actually challenging content

>Playing optimally is for the heckin le scarey trannies!!!!!

>>716327974
Again:
>It would mean kneeling to the people who hate the games I like and keeps telling me how they're slop and shit and I should play Ultrakill / Signalis / Hollow Knight instead.

Silksong alone ruined any videogame discussion this year.

>>716327835
Where did i say that? i just said you're overestimating how many people buy bundles, i highly doubt this game was going for 20 bucks a year after its release when it had already sold 5 million copies

>>716327956
unironically

>>716328109
It doesnt even have iframe dodges until extremely late into the game. It has its own healing mechanic instead of estus clone and the combat is nothing alike

What the fuck defines a "souls" game to you?

>>716327591
>10 million sales at $60-70 each piece should make DMCV infinitely more profitable than Monster Hunter and Resident
What the fuck are you talking about? MonHun and RE have better numbers than that and yes, they're also subject to the same types of bundles and discounts Capcom always does for their games.

Besides, your whole bundle argument falls apart the moment you compare DMC5's sales with the games it's supposedly being sold with, which haven't gotten nearly the same kind of boost. If so many DMC5 sales were from bundles you'd expect any title in the franchise to make it over 5 million but the only which has is DMC4 and half its sales are from the vanilla which came out over 15 years ago.

You can check the numbers yourself: https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/business/million.html

It's a garbage genre. It's training wheels for fighting games and you never adapted

>>716328334
the combat is just as dull and the entire game is exploring boring levels without any substantial rewards with a heavy focus on boss fights

Even DMC sandbag jugglers at least have fun doing it.

>>716329154
bosses on average are harder and take more effort to beat than the ones you usually meet in metroidvanias, the game still has like 50 bosses, them being 1/10 of your playtime is just a byproduct of the games bloated runtime

See what I mean about Hollow Knight's fanbase being insufferable?
This is the kind of people >>716329186 I will never kneel to.

>>716329468
Good, don’t kneel. Tell me what your favorite games are, I’ll go see if there’s anyone on reddit who likes them and then you’ll never get to play them again

>>716329468
To be fair you're giving in to this made up boogeyman in your head. So wether you believe or not, you're already kneeling by not playing.

>bloated? I played it this month and it felt like it wasted my time less than the recent metroidlikes ive played
if running around dull levels without any significant rewards to find isn't a waste of time for you then nothing is, at best this game shouldve been a boss rush game akin to furi, bosses are the only remotely entertaining parts of the game
>I thought this was an action game thread
Sorry, the game is just shilled as the best metroidvaina which it obviously isn't and as an action game there's no point in playing it as combat is dull and simplistic and the only somewhat fun parts that involve combat (bosses) are broken up with hours of walking around and looking for fun

>>716330550
That's cause you're not a Quake Champion TM

>>716330617
i had many significant rewards, new abilities actually good charms pale ore dream nail dreamgate all that shit
flled with awesome areas like city of tears, deepnest, soul sanctum
The only non-retarded thing of your post is mentioning Furi because the game is kino. Wanting it to be turned a boss rush game is some DS3fag tier retardation, it has some of the coolest nonlinear worlds in vidya

>shilled
shilled? It sold like 20 million copies and counting. Who the fuck is "shilling it" anywhere? What does "shilling" even mean to you niggers??

>>716325901
ultrashit sucks
hakita said he was inspired by quake but its not true
there were no alt fire modes in quake
the most important part in quake was the multiplayer
there is no pvp in ultrashit
hakita was clearly inspired by the shock rifle combo from unreal tournament and the dumbass designed the entire game around that
FUCK HACKITA AND FUCK ULTRASHIT

I bet the next post will be a similar scenario, claiming that you can't hate Hollow Knight because you didn't get all the achievements on the base game and DLC and played 500 hours

>>716333039
with stupid people it's either "erm you didn't waste half your life on this game so your opinion doesn't matter" or "pft, why did you play it for so long if you hate it? Haha, what a dumbass!", the truth is that posts like this is just a coping mechanism for small-minded people.

I love mods

>>716334530
why dont action games have stuff like a 100 different costumes locked behind different challenges? shit'd be so fun to grind, instead just work for a letter in the end screen

>>716333039
The "glass breaking boss" from that post is in the first 1/5th of the game so its a pretty valid request

Because they'd rather sell them.

Well that was short lived. Steel on bone is also pretty shit as far as centralizing mechanics go. They should have all been like the lunar's where it's not just a crutch mechanic for free undeserved instakills.

>>716322174
Because Shitsuno was working on Dragons Slopma 2. And now he’s not with Capcom anymore.

I'm right here for you if you wanna talk about DMC. ^_^

>>716323951
I hate the loot shit too but it’s supposed to be for endgame.

I love action games but one simply has to accept that, for whatever reasons, the communities around these games are fucking trash. Just the worst, most insufferable, narcissistic people. That's why these threads are always bad: the people suck.

And the better the game the worse the community. I have never in my life seen a cesspool as bad as the God Hand community. Cheating, harassment, stalking, profiteering, a hostile takeover of the speedrun boards, it's bonkers.

>>716335443

I particularly love how they used the same body plan for Dante's and Vergil's but the parts and details are unique to each of them. They're the same yet totally different.

genuine cope, it couldnt be any more obvious that you are a shallow shill

If Devil May Cry 1 and 3, Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden 2, Metal Gear Rising and The Wonderful 101 perfected the genre, then why does matter if the genre never gets any new games again?
When you reach the peak there is nowhere to go but down and if the genre is solved then there is nothing else to do.

are there any mods for nioh 2 that reduce the input bloat?

> My MN playthrough is faster than my previous 6 playthroughs

I had 3 RE playthroughs on normal (XBOX 360, WII U, and PC), 1 on hard, and another on vanilla on the 360 (laggy as fuck). The 360 scythe is so broken that I spammed it on the dino and it stunlocked him and skipped to the second phase. The second phase was also fucking easy, I spammed it and it went into that annoying auto-scroller. That move can also i-frame absolutely anything. It's like royal guard, if it has a hitbox, it will i-frame. Still on action games, I now realize how busted that joke move from Japanese God Hand is, it's free roulette.

Nah ngl heavenly justice coming back wasn't on my bingo card. I don't even need other weapons at this point.
