veni veni veni posted:Armored core Armored Core is a fighting game without the obvious punchingness. You wanna see a new Armored Core? What you're asking for is a highly technical fighter along the lines of an arcsys but with the customization and insanity of an RPG. I'm not surprised FROM has kinda backburnered it, especially after the reception of V and Verdict Day. It's an odd genre combo to be sure, and needs to be excellent at both, which, honestly, I'm not sure any dev I know about right now is good at.

I think maybe in a universe where Zone of the Enders didn't exist then the idea of a eurojank style menu-driven slow and plodding mech suit game could be exciting and cool but Jehuty is seriously one of the coolest robots ever and the crazy action-setpiece fights and the totally mind-bending 3-dimensional dogfighting with both melee and ranged combat... I mean seriously is there any doubt in your mind that the frames from ZOE wouldn't dumpster any Gundam, Voltron, Megazord, just based on sheer overwhelming action?

Much as I love Jehuty, gonna have to give the nod here to my boy Domon. He's too stupid to be impressed by all that pizazz.

To be fair the later AC games like FA were far from plodding. I don't think they are good but they aren't slow.

El Diablo Bob O posted:So, here’s my unnecessary two cents on the FF7R Standard issue by using my Persona 5 experience. Just to clarify, Royal isn’t dlc, it’s a new version of the game. There’s no upgrade path between the two, it’s “buy the new game or don’t”. The fat stack of DLC is all just cosmetic poo poo and extra personas.

I’m sorry for the confusion above, but I wasn’t trolling about a dark souls 3 PS5 remaster. The game, like I’ve said multiple times, is undeniably beautiful in its current state. And yes it plays at 60fps and has near instant load times already. But, looking at places like the smoldering lake and boreal valley city, the insane detail of the undead village.. hell basically everywhere, I just imagine how much more amazing it would look with 4k textures, an update ray tracing/global illumination lighting engine, and updated character/enemy and boss models. After playing the Demon Souls remaster.. it’s hard not to imagine what an amazing experience dark souls 3 would be with that level of update. And also, the haptic feedback on the ps5 controller in demon souls was one of the coolest little bits to playing that game. Firing off spells and the like was just awesome. Bringing all that to dark souls 3 would be rad as hell! So yeah all of you are just fine in saying, “nobody is asking for this, the game is already up to date”. But it’s not coming from a place of thinking the game looks bad or outdated in its current state. That’s a poor assumption. I brought up the remaster because of the reasons above, making a dark souls 3 remaster with all the same accoutrements of the demon souls remaster would really heighten the already beautiful experience. It would also probably snag a lot of newcomers. The whole From Software soulsborne catalogue is really timeless. So expending resources every so often to bring them forward to utilize the perks of current gen would not be a waste of effort one bit.

Man is anyone else having issues syncing their trophies? I started playing Control about a week or so ago (holy poo poo how did I sleep on this one? It is entirely my jam) and ever since then trophies just will not sync. It gives me error NP-103374-8 but as far as I can tell that's just a generic code. Googling just showed some reddit posts having the same issue with Persona Strikers but then it magically starts working after a day or two. This has persisted for me through multiple complete reboots, logging in and out of my account, disconnecting and reconnecting from the internet, playing a different game, and swapping users. It's weird though because on the PlayStation app and my boyfriends account it shows the proper trophies, so I think it is syncing? I dunno it's odd. Anyone else having the issue and know how to fix it though?

When From made the Another Century's Episode series I was so pumped to have an armored core game but with actual anime robots and all made to scale too. The first one was pretty rough but the heart was there. The second and third games were pure joy as being better in every way from the last. Then something happened. The psp one was a giant piece of poo poo and the ps3 one was no joke one of the worst games I have ever played. Nail in the coffin, we are ever getting anything as awesome as those again. Like watch these intros and tell me it doesn't make you hype as hell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0XpnyKKLMU

To be fair, Dad of War is about Norse mythology in the same way that the old God of War games were about Greek mythology, which is to say basically not really at all. It's just an aesthetic.

It certainly took its own approach to it all but I think that only freed the game up to explore the mythology without having to keep a checklist for pure accuracy tying it down.

Cardiovorax posted:To be fair, Dad of War is about Norse mythology in the same way that the old God of War games were about Greek mythology, which is to say basically not really at all. It's just an aesthetic. Absolutely wrong, homie. The degree to which Kratos is woven into and out of all the popular Greek myths and stories to make it seem like he is at the epicenter of this gargantuan odyssey is absolutely absurd, and one of the things that I loved about Dad of War is that there are still elements of that mythical Spartan legend here Midgard, but Dad of War basically introduces the pantheon as a cast of antagonists and then gives us a very bare bones history lesson so we know what every race is called. It’s compounded by the fact that most western schools, at least in the US, have pretty robust Greek myth units in public school, so even if you’re not into the lore at all concepts like Zeus and Hercules and Medusah are things we all grew up learning about in school, whereas Norse mythology has really never gone super mainstream, even when it’s on TV or magic cards or video games, because those myths are much more abstract and not as easy to convey as simply, in part because they lack the foundation that Greek myths are given by our cultures.

Cardiovorax posted:I guess to me it's kinda like Assassin's Creed Odyssey: it could've really been set anywhere, because it has so little to do with the "real" mythology and history that you could reskin it completely just by switching out the name and the color palette. No, the story is pretty inexorably tied to Norse myth and the events depicted in the prose eddas. Who Atreus is, why Baldur is looking for Kratos' family, all the supporting characters and their motivations, it's not a simple pallette swap at all.

I think my next step is a factory reset, but I've heard people on reddit saying that that might delete my trophies that haven't synced yet. Anyone have any other ideas before I go nuclear?

Finished the Fenyx plat. I enjoyed the time sink more or less but drat it was a slog. I can't believe how combat never felt challenging for the entire game, and how redundant the enemies felt and became over time. There was one fight the entire game that was hard, and it was due to the enemy having a huge arena to teleport around in and unique, annoying, attacks. I'd give it a 6/10 at best I think.

y’all defended Dad of War better than I could have, ty ty I forgot a lot of people couldn’t handle the short bit when Atreus is all ornery & full of angst and prob threw in the towel there But lol I couldn’t think of a better woven portrayal of GOW & Norse poo poo. I mean, you can just ride around in a boat for hours listening to a severed head telling ya Norse stories Looking like I might have to do a PS5 play through. I like history & was looking forward to getting around to Odyssey tho

Royal has some neat upgrades but it's really not a big deal at all in my opinion and the extra content wasn't great anyway. If you're not super invested in persona just play the base vanilla game for free and don't worry about Royal. Maybe you can come back later and get Royal on a discount if you ever feel like replaying the game again. I thought it was a disappointing upgrade for $60 for what it's worth and I'm a big persona/smt fan. Now persona 5 strikers this feels fresh and exciting!

Now looking back on it and I don't feel like the godly animations from Sekiro feel so out of the blue because FROM had already put in the legwork with BB and DS3, it's just that the hitboxes in Sekiro are just insanely good.
