To someone who doesn't know anything going in, Vanquish at first glance can seem like a very janky and boring cover-shooter. The game doesn't do a good job at getting you to play it the fun way, boosting around and shooting dudes while flying through the air.

Vanquish sold over 800k copies which is pretty good for an apparently offputting anime game that Sega made zero attempt to sell.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:All of the people that didn't buy Vanquish, because it's almost unimpeachable on a pure gameplay level. It's almost perfect except for the part where it's an ultra-fast paced FPS on a gamepad. Had Vanquish come out on PC it'd have been legendary. On console it's that-one-platinum-game-nobody-remembers-for-long.

In fact I would say a lot of Vanquish's DNA made it into Titanfall. (I'm actually super glad we're discussing Vanquish, btw, it rules)

I was really hyped for the game, but if it takes a year to come out on PC like Revengeance I might just wait for a sale. Edit: I just saw that a normal PS4 is only 250€ nowadays. Can you play most games fine with the non-pro version? If I find a few other exclusives to make it worthwhile, that might be an option.

I guess I'm one of those people that gave up on Vanquish when I tried it. The first level didn't really leave much of an impression on me as well, but what I think the game really lacked though was coop. I played most of the Gears of War games this way and if this game had couch-coop it would have been awesome. I'm still planning on beating it someday though.

Nina posted:I gotta say I personally really dislike this guy.

That said, I watched this weirdos insufferable "analysis" of Drakengard 3 and it was pretty much unintelligible for someone like me who hasn't played it. I thought it must just be a confusing game. Later I went through an actual LP and found out that, while it is a bizarre game, it is more intelligible than his "hilarious" mini sketches about context-free weird moments made it seem. Don't waste your time on him. I wish the goon who did a recap of Drakengard 1 during his incomplete Nier LP had done that for the whole series. It was comprehensible, and the format of just telling it straight to a friend who was new to the series, letting the humor come from the guy's genuine wtf reactions, was entertaining. As is, best fast way to catch up is probably to watch the best friends play lp at 4x speed or something.

Vanquishs' story is that russian robots have taken over the space microwave(and popcorned a city with it) and now Not-Hillary is sending you, ex football player turned super soldier, plus the entire american space army to get it back. If you can't genuinely appreciate how stupid that premise is then I don't know what to tell you.

It ends on a cliffhanger with the bad guy winning and shoves unskippable "walk slowly while talking on a codec" scenes in your face after every other gunfight. Vanquish's plot was awful.

There's lots of things with awesome premises that botch the execution. Vanquish's story was one of them. Lucky for us, the gameplay wasn't.

If he stopped trying to be wacky it would be serviceable (and half the runtime), but he won't, so... that is that. I've read the summaries of the Drakengard games and Nier before and mostly got it, but seeing something visual made everything click a little better. I didn't want to invest a bunch of time and money in a ps3 & the games, or just a bunch of time in LPs, so this worked for me.

I tried the video's as well and the only reason why they made even remote sense to me was because the video's aided in recalling all the lp's I fully followed for all the games(minus 2 because it is 2). So if you're totally new then, in my opinion, skip this Clemps fellow entirely because it will just leave you confused(and possible annoyed jesus christ he is rather... special). If anything he proves that there's too much weird happening in these games to compress into 15-20 min video's and you should indeed experience the games through an LP or give them a crack yourself.* *pick an LP. Save yourself.

Just play Nier, it's cheap and it's maybe 24 hours? I'm sure if you don't have one you can find someone to lend you a 360/ps3 for a few days. There's a really good chance you'll have no reason to get involved with the Drakengard main line series.

lets hang out posted:Vanquish sold over 800k copies which is pretty good for an apparently offputting anime game that Sega made zero attempt to sell. SEGA said that Vanquish's sales didn't meet their sales expectations. The publisher tended to have inflated expectations of what the Platinum developed games would sell, such as expecting Anarchy Reigns to sell between Vanquish (800K) and Bayonetta (1.1 Million). At the same time, SEGA was probably one of few publishers willing to give an upstart Japanese studio a multi-game deal with a high level of creative freedom at the time. Around 2012 was when SEGA went on a huge cancellation spree and pivoted to mobile/PC since most of their console games were huge bombs. They're doing much better now with their mobile games and Total War: Warhammer performing well.
