Reminder that God Hand only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who played it made their own fighting game

Nothing developed around Party Babies though.

I've been playing games since the Colecovision and God Hand is one of the singularly best games ever made in the history of the art form.

>>11777792
God Hand owes its completely unearned reputation entirely to this image and one MS Paint comic. The game is genuinely bad.

>>11778065
hello tranny

>>11777792
one of the few rare cases IGN review score was spot on

>>11777776 (OP)
It's such a cool game where no matter what you do, you only do chip damage to enemies and boss battles drag on forever.

>>11778135
>you only do chip damage to enemies and boss battles drag on forever
you just picked the wrong moves.

>>11778135
works on my machine

>>11778135
>anon gets filtered by arguably the easiest beat em up on the system

>>11778135
There is no chip damage.

>>11778159
This, it's a mediocre game made for scrubs and casuals.

>>11777776 (OP)

also >off by one

>>11778196
Is it though?

>>11778196
Scrubs and casuals don't know this game exists, its kino but it is the easiest given the massively forgiving dodge system

>>11778203
It really is. There's no challenge, it's just boring. Babby's first beat-em-up, a waste of time for anybody already familiar with the genre.

>>11778207
Anybody familiar with the genre isn't playing godhand for its relatively simple combat system, they're playing it for the soul thats missing from half the beat em ups on the system

>>11778207
You didn't play it, did you?

horrible camera

very disappointing game

>>11778251
Whole thread is full of people who didn't play the game.

>>11778252
Yeah having to throw in random guard breakers is not fun

>>11778258
I beat it twice because I was trying to figure out why people liked it so much. I guess the Capcom logo fools people into thinking the game is good.

>>11778261
>I guess the Capcom logo fools people into thinking the game is good.
Ah, Okami syndrome.

>>11778261
>having to throw in random guard breakers is not fun
Gigafiltered x2

>>11778268
I don't understand why they didn't just show a meter indicating the likelihood of the enemy guarding but oh well

>>11778270
Because you don't need a meter spelling out their every move, cannon fodder enemies block after 3-4 hits, bigger enemies block after 1-3

>>11778272
yeah so throw a guard breaker every two jabs, but then it sometimes hits, sometimes not.

random bullshit

>>11778264
Okami was like the 3D Zeldas if they actually put effort into them

>>11778281
>what do you MEAN I can't hammer a single button and win?
Your tendies are burning, anon

>>11778284
Is that why the game rehashes itself three times and is padded with the most obnoxious case of "treat the player like a retard" handholding ever?

>>11778285
I don't want to hammer a random button and win

>>11778315
Anon YOU decide what button to hit, its not random

>>11778294
But enough about Skyward Sword, that game isn't retro anyway.

>>11778281
Unless you played on hard mode you're just bad. It's extremely easy to react to enemies guarding on normal. It's trickier but still possible on Hard.

>>11778350
>actually defending the flea that never shuts up
Okamifags truly are subhuman

>>11778330
whether or not the guard break hits is random

>>11778380
you can't react to many of them like the boss and stronger

>>11778385
>actually defending the flea that never shuts up
But enough about Navi.

>>11778471
Ah, that explains everything. The only way a person could like Okami is if they never played it. Here, this is Issun. He's your helper character in Okami and he's everything the memes claim Navi or Fi were.

>>11778483
Issun was based, Nintendo would never have a character in it that openly ogled big-tittied women, too problematic.

>>11778483
I played it and liked it. I was a little annoyed it kept having fake final bosses, but once someone told me it was originally meant to be a trilogy or something but they had to rush and jam all three games into one, it made sense. I just started taking a little break after each final boss and it felt like 3 nice little games. I don't really remember much about Issun, but maybe that's because I played the game not knowing about him so I didn't have the confirmation bias.

>>11778512
Issun caused a lot of stir around the time Okami was ported to Nintendo systems. He's openly lecherous to the various female characters (who show off their plentiful cleavage) and faggots and women found that problematic. They still seethe about him to this day. Even if they try to hide the reason to fit in on a site like 4chan, that's what they're really upset about.

>>11778270
It's telegraphed pretty clearly.

>>11778523
It depends. iirc they block a certain number of hits, not for a certain amount of time, so if you're using a fast square button combo or one with a lot of multi-hit moves (which you probably are, to get the most out of god hand mode), it can be easy to mash square and not notice they're blocking until it's too late to stop.

The solution is of course to just not mash square for dear life outside of god hand mode, or don't plan your square button combo JUST to milk god hand mode as much as possible, it's a lot easier to react to blocks then.

>>11778523
it's not you have to anticipate it and throw out random guard breakers

that's why even good players miss half their attacks

>>11778519
>Issun caused a lot of stir around the time Okami was ported to Nintendo systems.
Nobody cared, stop making up lies.

>>11778284
this is a Reddit Hand hate thread, please do not derail it by talking about a far worse game

>>11778554
You're right, there was no need to bring Zelda into this.

>>11778529
Just don't button mash.

Fuck me I can recall an actual intelligent post on /v/ from 15 years ago or more saying to treat the game like Virtua Fighter and still people do otherwise.

>>11778568
>Just don't button mash.
Yeah that's what I said.

>treat the game like Virtua Fighter
Unironically though the game would be better if it had VF's feature of being able to clear your input buffer. I dunno if God Hand's input buffer is even big enough for it to be worthwhile though. Still a great game though.

Clover Studios dropped 3 shitty games in a row with no redeeming qualities and because they all flopped (kek) Capcom pulled the plug on them
Clover is the Japanese Troika except they didn't redeem themselves with their final game (VTMB) before they went under

>>11778580
I read your post and all I can interpret is you crying because you don't like the studio and games and you are mad they had some success and that people like them

>>11778580
>they all flopped (kek) Capcom pulled the plug on them
Viewtiful Joe got 3 sequels, Okami got a sequel, a remaster, and is getting another sequel as of last year.

>>11778582
>they had some success
they are homeless now
some of them were hired by Microsoft to make the most redditcore ''rhythm fighting'' slop in the history (High Five Wifi or whatever it's called) and to the surprise of no one it flopped and Microsoft fired them so now they are back to being homeless lmao

>>11778584
>Viewtiful Joe got 3 sequels
and all of them flopped not to mention they suck ass
>Okami got a sequel
yes Okamiden a decent game made by different studio unlike the first garbage
Okami 'fans' writting it off says a lot about them (a bunch of posers)
>getting another sequel
it will suck it will flop and more people will go homeless

>>11778585
Billie Holliday died with 70 cents in her bank, so what's your point?

>>11778585
Kamiya and Mikami are both doing fine. What the fuck are you smoking? Mikami just started a new studio like last year and Kamiya's been pumping out Bayonetta games.

>and all of them flopped not to mention they suck ass
Flops don't generally get sequels, much less three. I think you just hate these things so you're pretending they failed. You can hate them all you want, but try to live in reality.

>>11777792
How do we feel about the re-review posted a few years ago?
>The fact that so many still name God Hand as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" beat em up ever only tells you how far video games still are from becoming a serious art. Visual novel critics have long recognized that the greatest VNs of all time are Muv Luv and Umineko, VNs which were not the most popular or best sellers of their times, let alone of all time. JRPG critics rank the highly controversial FF7 over classical JRPGs who were highly popular in houses around Europe. Beat em up critics, instead, are still blinded by lack of commercial success. God Hand sold less than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore it must have been the greatest. VN critics play a lot of VN of the past, JRPG critics play a lot of classical JRPGs of the past. Beat em up fans are often totally ignorant of the beat em ups of the past, they barely know the best sellers.

The only thing I think of when I hear this game mentioned is that Retsupurae video

>>11778747

It's true. People have never heard of Final Fight or Streets of Rage.

>>11778239
They never do, anon. Aside from maybe a token 5 minute stint in a ps2 emulator so they can claim they actually played it to form their opinion.
>>11778207
Creating your own combo is something that very few games in the genre even attempt, let alone do as well as God Hand did (because so many people loved the true masterpiece that was Remember Me.) Even fewer let you play the entire game with just a series of pimp slaps and have it be viable. It also has multiple ways of making the game harder, you can even wear a kick me sign to autotaunt enemies constantly enraging them. Its fucking kino.

>>11778616
Good bot

>>11778949
>you can even wear a kick me sign to autotaunt enemies constantly enraging them.
The kick me sign doesn't do anything. It just flies off when you use your god hand or a roulette move, so if you beat the game with it it's proof you didn't use any of those moves.

>>11778647
>there is dozens of shovelware franchises

Not a great example considering many of those shovelware franchises are quite profitable. Bottom line speaks the loudest

>>11777776 (OP)
1. God Hand is not a fighting game.
2. There aren't 10000 fighting games.
Great thread, by the way.

>>11777842
What anon didn't realize is that we still have about 60 years left to wait before those babies become old enough to run for the US presidency. It's coming. The Party Nation is coming.

Extremely retarded posts by /vr/ standards. Friendly reminder the IGN reviewer got mad because he was bad at the game. Holy shit you are some of the dumbest motherfuckers I've ever seen.

Hooray!

>>11779507
You sound pretty mad yourself, friend

>>11779621
When you're surrounded by idiots, being mad is the norm.

>>11779507
the game fucking sucks buddy, the IGN reviewer was 100% correct and the rightful score he gave it is the only reason you posers pretend to like this turd
>oh you gave this literal who game a low score? well then am going to shill it everywhere just to stick it up to Le IGN corporation!
fight the power sister!

>>11779909
There's some very selectively reactive contrarianism around this game nowadays for some reason.

>uh it's ACTUALLY BAD the IGN review was RIGHT
Like come on.

>>11779923
It's an easy way to get (you)s.

It's funny that he's so haunted by this shitty review that he actually went on social media and defended it years later, and said "everyone in the office said it sucked too!". And then one of his ex-coworkers appeared out of nowhere and said no one else there even played it. It follows him around like a bad smell.

>>11779923
and how is that any different or less gay than
>uh it's AKSHUALLY LE GOOD! the IGN review was wrong! see this entirely differnt reviewer giving this toddler game a higher score but let's pretend it's the same guy for the sake of memes!

>>11779925
>one of his ex-coworkers appeared out of nowhere and said no one else there even played it
just like Reddit Hand internet defense forces lmao
i'll take the word of the IGN guy who played it over any of them posers

>>11778747
>the highly controversial FF7
you wut

>>11779930
FF7 is garbage many people hated it

>>11779927
Uh, I think if you checked you'd find it's called GOD Hand, not... "reddit" hand... so if you just fixed that up we'll be all cool, caprice?

>>11779923
Parroting the opinion of a kiketuber over a game you never played is worse by a wide margin.

Do you really expect people to recognise a /mu/ pasta here of all places?

>>11781502
everyone knows that pasta.

Normal

God Hand is a good game but I hate its dodge input. You basically have to spam the right stick for up dodges and that just doesn't feel good. I wish you could hold the right stick up instead.

>>11782021
there'd be no point to doing any other dodge if you could just hold the stick up.

>>11777776 (OP)
Good control

God Hand's popularity coincides with the rise of the Kaizo Mario fads and weeb camp appreciation in the mid to late 2000s. It's beloved by the same kind of e-peen stroking losers that proclaim 'git gud' as a slogan to live by, vicarious and vapid. It points to something absent in the lives of young men today, a lack of any proving challenges or any moral thresholds. The hand of God, absent from their lives.

>>11782694
We're reaching retard levels beyond imagination!

>you only do chip damage to enemies and boss battles drag on forever.

found the guy who never played the game. git gud, nigga.

>>11782876
This is, amongst all, the one game anyone could easily have a huge amount of fun with and some ghoul will come along and pipe up with "um actually it's BAD".

>>11782886
It's a game with a high skill floor and ceiling. This and it being a singleplayer game is why you get such opinions on it.

>>11782876
it's the first boss and that player is fully upgraded so very misleading

enemies are definitely spongy especially the horrible final boss

>>11782876
>posts a clip of an early game boss while doing little damage to it
>>11782886
The game is not one that anyone could have fun with. It's incredibly far from the norm with it's controls and gameplay mechanics. I'm down with all of them, but you do so little damage that it just makes me feel weak and not the God Hand.

>>11782886
that's the overwhelming majority of people's cope/defense mechanism. When a game reminds them that they're way out of their depth, their go-to is to downplay its merits / claim it isn't fun / pull retarded reasons out of their ass to shit on it.

High skill floor videogames anger and scare normalniggers, the Sekiro meltdown is a more recent example, even though that game is pretty easy all things considered.

>>11783124
But it actually isn't fun...

>>11783252
Go play The Sims then.

>>11778410
That wasn't an opinion doever

>>11778616
I guess everyone here is a millenial who only listens to chiptunes

>>11778065
go the fuck back where you came from, tourist
God hand's reputation comes from emulation hipsters sucking it off for the last five years

>>11782694
I can't tell if this one is a copypasta too

>>11782694
the hand of God jerked me off once. I jizzed all over the knuckles. it was weird

>>11783124
I beat the game twice and beat all the challenges I can just see the flaws for what they are

Plus this game rewards you for playing poorly so I don't think you post makes sense anyway

>>11783351
The Sims isn't fun either...
Are those the only two kinds of video games?
