I’ve had maybe 2 periods of brief slowdown in my 30+ hours with Dead Cells, pre-patch. It’s very much not an issue.

The worst I had was when I had a weapon that burned and also made worms explode out of enemies which generated their own worms that all exploded into more worms when the fire killed them. Otherwise it's been fine.

Sounds liked a feature in Space Station 13 where burning cheese would make cheese smoke, and cheese smoke would spawn more cheese on tiles it touched, which would catch on fire and produce more smoke, producing more cheese.

Is locking the framerate to 30fps a noticable improvement throughout, or is it only in rare instances that it helps?

Nah it's a downgrade imo, the game feels much more fluid at 60 even with the occasional frame drops. Its totally fine imo

Def on board with the November patch though

God drat FighterZ is a fantastic game. Most accessible fighting game I've ever played. Easily the best DBZ game ever.

Cross Tag has nothing on this game (both in ability and sales, game tanking real bad!)

Xtag has defensive play more complex than wait and character diversity greater than none but grats on your new game it does make a strong first impression

Every fighting game needs an auto combo system from now on.

I mostly just watch the intro interactions on YouTube. Was Nappa always this funny? Especially when he's paired with Gotenks of all people.

Probably gonna be in a lot of them. I've come around honestly, properly implemented autocombos arent necessarilly so bad. BBTAGs autocombos work a lot like undernight, where yeah you get unique moves that follow one after another when you press the same button, but you can put them together in different ways and sprinkle in specials to taste. It's good and fun

Edit: i think modern nappa was influenced by fourstar nappa bit. OG nappa is still a dope though

As a person that has played 2 whole Valkyrie Chronicles, I think 4 is a loving dinosaur that needs some serious quality of life improvements and from the ground up rework on pretty much all systems.
The fun is often hampered by all the bad interface, cinematic, dogs poo poo camera, aiming, story, writing, and zero attempt to fix the Scouts are bullshit problem.
I enjoy it despite all this but jesus I has a pause for all dialog and menu changes that I used to think in Val Chron one was due to loading, now I know its due to intentional stupid stupid choice.

Yeah I played the demo and was initially "Yesss it's more VC1" but VC1 is a game from 2008

I don't think "they made VC1 again" is that hard a slam against it considering VC2 and Revolutions and how much the fanbase hates them. Making it as close to VC1 as they could was as about as safe a bet as could be made.

So... “game doesn’t have pushblock and I’m mad about it” does not mean that your only defensive options are “wait.”

Adult Gohan’s oppressive blockstring (where this meme came from) was nerfed. Lots of block strings have gaps that can be punished. Reflect beats projectiles and costs little to do. Vanish and Super Dash both get beat handily and can be full combo punished with good block timing or 2H timing respectively.

Game not perfect but game both very good and very Dragonball.

I wish I could get into finishing Dead Cells. I've made it to the last level one time... after 30 hours of gameplay, I just got really tired of grinding through those first few levels. I can't do it anymore.

The library has it, so maybe I'll rent it again after a break

Dead Cells is fine.

Personally, it didn't have much staying power as a large part of each run is always really easy and it also lacks any kind of interesting choices to make during that period. That made it pretty tedious fairly quickly.

I'm still stuck not having finished the main line of the game. Not sure if I just suck at it or have an improper loadout ...

It's been mentioned before, but each time you use a scroll the enemies get tougher. At some point the small percentage of life and damage you gain makes it not worth using them. Once I found out this it made latter levels way more manageable.
