  1. Anime Ys series

    There should be a demo version available for PS4 at least so maybe try that. I tried the demo back when it appeared and as far as I saw it was very similar to Ys 7 in many aspects (which is to say that it wasn't nearly as fun as Felghana or Origins). You shouldn't expect much from plot or...

  2. From Software Dark Souls is very easy

    So which action games are actually harder or is it just that "this does not compare to Ghost & Goblins and Contra"? I think that Dark Souls does have a somewhat exaggerated reputation for difficulty but I've played a considerable amount of games in the genre and I can't immediately think of any...

  3. KickStarter Vigilantes: neo-noir, turn based tactical RPG

    Finished the game and have to say I was positively surprised. Some quick comments: The weapons seem like they never jam until suddenly they become seemingly useless and jam constantly roughly around 50% condition. Possibly just bad luck and I started fixing them after every fight so never...

  4. Incline Monster Hunter World - G-rank edition. Now on PC.

    The move it spams the most is the faceplant + slide forward and it seems easiest to exploit also. Either you stay ahead of its slide, wait for the bombs to explode and then hit its face or sidestep the attack, wait for the bombs to explode and hit its backend. The bombing runs are easy to avoid...

  5. Devil May Cry 5

    Ninja Gaiden 2 (not the Sigma version)

  6. God of War reboot - now on PC

    :nocountryforshitposters:God of War is one of the games most responsible for the popularization of QTE and is in fact pretty famous for its use of it.

  7. Best indie game ever?

    Knights of the Chalice

  8. Which joystick should I buy?

    Belt-driven wheels like Thrustmaster T500 RS or some of the wheels Fanatec offers (or used to offer) deliver a smoother feel than G27. Fanatec's Clubsport pedal set is also greatly superior in all aspects to that of Logitech's though it seems like the cheapest bundle that Fanatec currently...

  9. Anime Ys series

    Definitely play Oath in Felghana or Origin. Oath has higher heights but Origin is more consistently fun I'd say. It is fun outside of bosses too. In fact these games might very well be at their best outside of boss battles. The controls are snappy and moving and fighting are refreshingly fast...

  10. From Software Bloodborne. Discuss or die!

    Cvv didn't actually say he hasn't played it: That he said "again" means he was left in awe before. Possibly while playing the game. They don't like what I like so they must be edgelords? For me it isn't all about difficulty in itself. If you crank up Tower Knight's HP to nigh infinity and...

  11. From Software Dark Souls 3

    Almost all my PvP fights were on the Nameless King level or on the short bit before the final boss so can't agree. Dark Souls 2 fights were also heavily centered around the bridge at the lava place so nothing new under the sun.

  12. Capcom Monster Hunter: World - pre-release thread

    Played the beta for a couple of hours. Contrary to what Perkel said, I didn't notice the monsters being particularly more aggressive than before. Diablos seemed to be slower and bigger with maybe one new move. Rathalos claw attack has always had ridiculous range and speed. That said, my...

  13. Devil May Cry HD Collection

    There are many who would put Bayonetta in top three with Ninja Gaiden Black and DMC3. Personally, while I thought it was much smoother than DMC3 it put far too much focus on spectacle instead of fun fights. It is closely reminiscent of DMC3 though. Another that holds favor with many is Metal...

  14. Incline Gothic turns 15 years

    I killed the dragons with melee weapons. They are very annoying to fight but if you can make them flinch/fly with one or two hits they are reasonably easy to kill because you just need to hit them as soon as you can after they land so they take flight again. Rinse and repeat. The best trick of...

  15. Incline Gothic turns 15 years

    Played through Gothic 1 and Gothic 2 NoTR after desiring some more after Elex. Have to say Gothic 1 has terrible combat. Mechanically pretty much the same as 2 but the enemies practically kill themselves on my sword. On the other hand outside of UI and combat concerns it was actually better than...
