I would've appreciated hearing more negative opinions about Yakuza before I bought Y0 and found it did nothing for me. It seemed to be a series that everyone liked so I didn't even bother trying it within the 2-week refund window, since I figured it was a sure bet that it would be enjoyable. Same thing happened with Ace Combat 7, for that matter.

Artelier posted:Any action games to recommend from the Golden Week Sale? I've been on a mostly turn based RPG binge and want to mix it up with some single player action games. Skimming tthe list, I have and like DMCV, Bayonetta, Tales of Berseria. Tokyo Xanadu eX+ is pretty cool. Action RPG with rock/paper/scissor style damage elements set in an alternate version of Tokyo where you fight monsters in rifts across the city and do weird sidequests for people around town. The soundtrack is one of the best ones I've ever heard, at least if you like rock/metal for parts of dungeons and bosses with really chill jazz tunes during the city sections.

K8.0 posted:You're making the correct decision. DMC5 is an amazing game. It's easily the best game in the genre. Given prior experience I recommend you start on Devil Hunter and not Human. It will probably be pretty hard, but the mechanics of the game are orgasmic and you won't learn to appreciate them on easy. Also, as a certified DLC hater, you should buy the deluxe edition and the $4.99 Vergil DLC. All that stuff is worth the $10 total it costs right now. Playing the game a second time with the alt cutscenes is amazing, and Vergil is completely broken in a way that's incredibly satisfying. I'm at M05, and so far the game is fun! And after practicing a bit in the Void, I finally pulled off my first SSS rank in a fight. So far my only complaint is, that it's kinda hard to switch to a different target if I'm locking on (I'm playing with a gamepad).

In case you don't know, clicking the left stick switches your lock-on target. In Ocarina of Time letting go of lock-on and pressing it again would switch the target and I don't understand how there are still games with lock-on systems that don't do that over 20 years later.

Strong agree. I was ready to be disappointed after all the hype, but DE really is ludicrously good. I'm still early in the game, and I'm already sad it's going to end

I would very much have preferred Everhood as a rhythm game, and I was disappointed when I found out it wasn't. It's difficult to engage with the music when I'm not following the beat or anything, just focusing on not getting hit without any sort of rhythm to the movement.

So I have the plain old regular edition of Street Fighter IV and the Steam sale says I can upgrade to Ultra Street Fighter IV for $3.50. However when I try I get an error saying I need "Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition" which I can't find on Steam. So... just gently caress anybody who was stupid enough to buy the vanilla version of the game then? Or am I doing something wrong?

No, you're right. The standard release edition didn't receive any of the upgrades, including Arcade then Ultra. You had to have bought the completely separate release Super Street Fighter IV version to receive upgrades. Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition itself is no longer sold, it was superseded by Street Fighter IV Ultra.

There's a lot of reasons not to have got the original version of SF4, but to address your original issue- The orginal release of SF4 is a Games for WIndows refugee, so a lot of it's extended support is dead and buried. So, yeah, pretty much gently caress anyone who was stupid enough to buy the vanilla version, and I have no reason why it's still up on Steam outside legacy because it's nothing but a trap.

They literally release the same game 3-4 times with minor updates and charge $60 for it each time. Also they will sell you like four lazy skins for like $15. And their fans gobble it all up.

When original Street Fighter IV came out, DLC wasn't quite a thing just yet. Just buy https://store.steampowered.com/app/45760/Ultra_Street_Fighter_IV/ its $7.50 right now. This is the best Street Fighter of the series because it has Makoto.

That's just not true at all. The Xbox 360 natively supported DLC with an entire marketplace and came out three years before the home versions of SFIV. SFIV even had day-one DLC for costumes. Additionally, Makoto is in Street Fighter III: Third Strike.

It wasn't the industry standard that it is now though. It was horse armor, and cut content coming on the game disc that you would later pay money for to unlock.

On release day SFIV had DLC for alternative costumes, and in the four weeks following they would release another DLC of alternative costumes every single week. DLC was very much a thing, although it might not have been able to leverage quite the same amount of data as it has since digital delivery became standard for even just regular content.

To be fair, fighting games had been running on the model of update = new release for some eighteen years by the time of SFIV. I have a hard time thinking of one that predates SFIV that did it as a DLC model, and the only one I can think of that beat SF to it at all is Blazblue CS, which was... it's own little ball of greed. Arcade Edition being a DLC update was probably a direct response to how grossly unpopular Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 was at launch, being a new release of a game that was itself not even a year old. Despite costing the same as UMvC3, the update to Super into AE was received way, way more charitably by the player base. Mr. Locke fucked around with this message at 02:15 on May 3, 2021 |

Unfortunately the disc I had just about died after Majima's fight on the PS2 and the post-battle cutscene took like an hour to play out at speeds of 1-2 FPS. It was a bit hard to make out Mark.

This always makes me wonder if I played the same Disco Elysium everyone else did. It was good but it wasn’t some kind of revelation. I liked that it didn’t have combat and had failure as a perfectly valid state but the goon fanaticism really put me off. It’s interesting because I see it as a game that’s both extremely excellent and extremely overrated at the same time.

I've just finished the main game of Lego Marvel 2 and i dunno if I'm in the minority or not but it just feels like these games have so much bloat now. I'm all for new content and stuff but now I'm in the post-game, i figured I'd get all the "cheat" blocks but, apparently, these are now locked behind missions which are in turn locked behind unlocking certain characters which in turn are locked behind doing special missions in different areas of the world map. Also to make things worse you have to manually open up the world map each time you wanna see or set a marker for something on your minimap. I always found the slow tick towards collecting everything in these games satisfying but the hoop-jumping just feels offputting now. Do all of the newer lego games (like DC villains) follow this same pattern or is it just the marvel ones?

IDK I just never find myself aligning with whatever The Biggest Thing with goons is at any particular time, either. Effusive praise always makes me skeptical because I tend to be a very skeptical person. I just know that with my own sensibilities I gotta grade everything on at least a 20-pt. anime/irony curve on these forums.

No, there is a fair amount of swearing in Ryu Ga Gotoku but it's not quite as 'harsh' as that I guess? Kuso can vary depending on context and stuff for instance. PS2 Y1 also had a lot of enemy mobs that would sight you and yell "motherFUCKER" in a weird faux Chris Rock voice as they approached.

Disco Elysium has the rare occurrence of well written, intelligent, funny, and self aware writing that is just lightyears above most of the stuff you usually find in games. It also has some very beautiful water-color art. However, as far as gameplay go, it's "merely" competent. It does it's job well, and it is a very engaging roleplaying game, but It mostly is thanks to the writing.

Disco Elysium deserves the praise, but mostly because it does something different that other games don't and it does it well. To be honest it feels like a total fluke that it works as well it does. It's also a high concept game that gets by entirely on writing, which is very much not something I would recommend to most people.
