Thread 723807164

are action games/beat-em-ups ever going to be good again?

>>723807164 (OP)
yeah i watched that video too

>>723807164 (OP)
What do you mean? We've had TMNT, various Kunio-kun games, SOR4, Absalom, that Marvel game that came out, Ninja Warriors AGAIN, etc. All in the past few years. We've been eating the best we have in a fucking decade you retard.

>>723808878
it always feels weird when I get a reply like this and I legitimately have no clue what the hell they're talking about

>>723807164 (OP)
isn't this just bamham combat. which people hate now.

>>723807164 (OP)
what game is this?

>>723809049
Popular youtube man did a video on the niche game you put in the OP.

>>723809178
Urban Reign

>>723807164 (OP)
3D? Maybe. If some indie wants to make one and give it a solid campaign and some light progression elements they'd probably make some fat bank. Hell, I should get on that.

I think 2D is always going to be niche. Which is probably what that audience wants so it's fine. But the classic 2D beat em up involves getting knocked on your ass for half of any given fight and the modern approach is just kind of an annoying unreadable action game.

>>723809135
Bamham combat is unwhiffable parries and snap across-the-room combos, literally nothing in common other than being 3D punching.

>>723809203
>>723808878
>[weird thing]? you're just copying [e-celeb]
why do the terminally online behave like this

>>723809283
Thanks :)

>>723809135
bamham was different from the game in op's video. both combat systems set out to do different things.
>>723809379
>unwhiffable parries
That's not true, it's entirely possible to mistime the parry. It's just that the window is pretty generous, plus the game tells you when enemies are going to attack on the default setting.

>>723809389
because literally no one has ever talked about urban reign on /v/ until that video came out. this is every thread on /v/ about an older game you never see talked about. just type the name into youtube and guaranteed theres a 500k view video released in the last week.

99% of niche game threads on /v/ reach page 10 with 3 replies.

>>723809790
I've talked and posted about many obscure games here in the past, and I've also had to stop posting about them whenever some random e-celeb mentions them because of posters like you

>>723809931
yeah because theyre niche games, not popular ones.

Thre game had great combat, but overall it was a shitty game

>>723807164 (OP)
>are action games/beat-em-ups ever going to be good again?

Just play the Yakuza games.

>>723810614
i like how the flow of them are since you interreact with the shops and stores for items

>>723809135
bamham lets you press normal attack while you're on the opposite end of the map from an enemy and batman will auto-track jump kick 50 feet to hit him. and every enemy has a big lightning bolt above their head telling you to press one button to auto-counter
it's nothing like an arcade beat em up in practice

>>723811407
>and every enemy has a big lightning bolt above their head telling you to press one button to auto-counter
you can turn that off.

>>723807164 (OP)
This game looks cool as fuck. I wish 3D beat em ups were more of a thing. They don't get enough attention and few actually even exist. God Hand is pretty much the only one I even played. I think I remember Die Hard a little and a few other PS1 and Saturn games but I can't remember much else I ever played.

Urban Reign is hard as hell and has amazing combat. Its a 3D fighting game like tekken made into a beat em up, even has some crossover characters. Highly recommend an emulation.
Fuck the jake fights though that guy is a bitch

>>723809790
This is just bias. there were threads before but you ignored them because (you) hadn't watched that video and didn't know what it was yet.

>>723809203
not even the same game retard

>>723810614
No thanks
I'll just replay God Hand for the 38th time

>>723809790
That's bullshit, every action game that has Godhand brought up (which was also a /v/ staple since ever), has someone bring up UR, just because you pay more attention to youtube than here is not our fault.

>>723807164 (OP)
I almost like this game but the counters often made no fucking sense like a dude obviously grabbing your character counting as a low attack (wtf?)

>>723807164 (OP)
Play it. Seriously.

>>723807164 (OP)
This floaty beach ball crap right here is why I despise Kekken.
It looks fucking retarded, everyone is a beach ball with the exact same falling animation and everyone floats inexplicably when struck in any way no matter the angle.

>>723817196
It's where the grab damages you I think. So a torso damaging grab, Square + side directions, hit to the head, Square + up, etc. Sometimes it's right where and when they grab you, but that black dude at the start felt more consistent with the latter way of thinking I feel.

>>723809046
That marvel game did not come out. In fact it still doesn't even have a release date.

>>723817731
>anti-juggling
Batman is right around the corner.

>>723818246
Juggling is an awful mechanic and you're a braindead slop-eating mongoloid.

>>723818825
>slop slop slop slop slop!
I know for a fact you offer no alternative, and are just being a faggot for the sake of it.

Imagine if you played a shitty chinese beat em up a decade ago and it still lived rent free in your head ha ha that would be really funny.

>>723819078
The alternative is not make every hit suddenly trigger moon gravity, and have falling enemies actually fall in the direction of the attack.

>>723819293
>The alternative is not make every hit suddenly trigger moon gravity
thank god that's not the case, and only happens with the launcher at the end of a string.
>NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST EXTEND A JUGGLE, THAT WOULD MAKE IT A COMBO!
What even if your point, the only other move that launched in the webm, was roundhouse kick. And you can't even juggle from that.

>>723819461
My point was crystal clear you absolute cocksucking faglord. It looks like complete dogshit and heavily clashes with the animation style.

>>723810614
I tried one, and couldn't get through the agonizingly slow and boring prologue.

>>723810614
I don't think Yakuza has very good beat em up combat, honestly, you're encouraged to just amp and spam "i win" abilities to get through very samey encounters.
And that's to say nothing of the overall pacing, which is just atrocious. I should not be saying "God I wish I could just turn off these boring fights" in a supposed beat em up.

>>723807164 (OP)
If only Yakuza had this type of combat, it would be goated

>>723819690

On god, dis shit be too videogamey fo me dawg
sheeeeiiit, where the MMA 2k20 at!?
Why play a game, and learn its mechanics, (one even your phone can emulate). When you can speculate and talk out your ass like Ace Ventura.

>>723821278

God forbid a brawler have fighting game quirks, you pseud faggot.

Mark of a superficial poser, can only engage in /v/SL dishonesty and typically does not play games. From Street Fighter, to MK, you're going to see juggles. It's not to serve in looks, it's to add to gameplay. Strange I know, like how armies don't have real life cursors dragging giant green boxes over them in real life either, with squad commands on cooldown.

This autistic nothing burger of an argument, is just being autistic over ludo-narrative dissonance that could be applied to everygame.
