Black_Jaguar Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 That new God of War is looking so beastly. Definitely a day 1 for me. The only one I've ever beaten was the one on PSP, but the combat actually looks interesting in this one. Farcry 5 is also catching my eye. Again, I've only played 1 in the series, being 3, but I haven't played a mindless shooter in a while, and the story looks interesting again. Anyone else have this on their radar? Shit, just as I was typing I remembered I still need to get YS8 when it comes to Switch. I also want that new Kirby game and I just bought the Dragonball Fighterz season pass today. Rip my fuckin wallet man
Poltergeist Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Just started Bloodborne since it's the free PS4 game right now. I've got high hopes for it but currently enjoying it. I never got into Dark Souls because a medieval asthetic bores me to pieces in any kind of medium. Games, movies, books, it'll put me to sleep. The whole Gothic horror thing is more my speed. I prefer sci fi but it'll do. The weapon transformation stuff is sweet. I freaked out when I hit L1 and my axe turned into an even longer axe. Beautiful looking game. Grimy as all hell by design but it looks great. I'm only currently at the part with the second lamp to enter the dream. I got all the way around and opened up the shortcut gate. MillionX 1
BullDancer Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 I don't like the way Bloodborne's enemies or areas look. Dark Souls games have more variety in their environments, and the types of enemies they put in each area makes sense. Like you'll see an enemy, and you're like why the fuck would this be here?
Chiro Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Dark Souls setting was something we've seen a hundred times before though. The weird Victorian/Lovecraftian theme was pretty unique and easily had enough varied locations.

I only beat GoW 1 and the PSP one. I'll try to get the HD collection so I can play all the others before starting the new one. Farcry 5 is DEFINITELY in my queue. I love open world games and I love shooters. I'm therefore obligated to play every Far Cry. I don't even care if every game after 3 is the same thing in a new setting. I love it anyway.

Black_Jaguar Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 They do. MKX surprisingly is dead. Like, there are no lobbies at all. I know NRS games typically die in the tournament life, but if I go on MK9 RIGHT NOW, there'll be at least 30 people in lobbies. Darc_Requiem and DangerousJ 2
MillionX Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 I can't remember if I got this deep into it on WiiU, but I've unlocked Rosa in Bayonetta 2 now... holy shit man this character is even more overpowered than Bayonetta herself. It's crazy... I'm clearing stages/fights in half my previous times, sometime seven less than half.... and sometimes with double the points. She's so strong it's hilarious, man..... many of the enemies end up dead before they can even do anything about it....and you can get the Platinum or Pure Platinum ranks EASY with her too....it's insane. ...but finally there is one disappointing little nitpick though--- there's apparently no alternate outfits Rosa can put on.
Black_Jaguar Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Fuck I forgot all about Bayonetta. I'll have to get into it whenever I'm done with God of War. and before I get to GoW I need to blast through Farcry 5. Thank god for that 20% discount on the playstation store lol
TheInfernoman Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 I bought Bayo for Wii U and finished both games before the Switch came out. I have no shame paying for this again. This woman is worth it! Darc_Requiem and MillionX 2
MillionX Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Bayo 2--Damn I had such a good rank, score and time on this one stage... then I was hitting buttons and accidentally passed the results screen without letting it update my previous results! There's some good spin-off material here too with all these other characters in the story--- Rosa, Rodin, Jeanne...even Loki/Aesir.... I'm not a fan of the cornrows-hairstyle look though on that character, but I imagine an older Loki/Aesir might be interesting as a playable character too.
misterBee Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 I really hope Bayonetta 2 comes out on other consoles or PC eventually. Don't think I'll ever play it if it doesn't. =/
TheInfernoman Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 I thought this was already addressed. Nintendo shares the rights to Bayo 2 with Platinum and to some degree Sega so therefore it cannot be made elsewhere. Bayo 1 is fair game for any other platforms because just Sega and Platinum games own it. Nintendo is helping fund Bayo 3 so thus it will be Nintendo Exclusive Darc_Requiem 1

Don't think I'll ever play it if it doesn't. =/ Then you'll probably never play it. Bayonetta 2 was originally a 360/PS3 game. Sega cancelled it. Platinum tried pitching the game to Sony and MS. They both passed. Platinum had given up on ever releasing another Bayonetta title. While Nintendo was in their offices about Wonderful 101, they basically threw a Hail Mary. They decided to pitch it to Nintendo, they didn't really anything to lose at this point. Nintendo decided to financially back Bayonetta 2. That's why the game ended up being co-published by Nintendo and why it's exclusive to their platforms. Nintendo footed the entire bill for it's development. If Nintendo didn't step in, there never would have been a Bayonetta 2. It looks like Bayonetta 3 has the same arrangement.

The only time I take it off the dock is when I go on a trip. However, I am a huge Nintendo fan and love their exclusives. Zelda, Mario, Mari Kart, Donkey Kong Country, Metroid, Smash Bros, and now Bayonetta more than justify a purchase for me. You're right about the multi platform games though. I have DOOM for PS4 and even though it would be cool to have on the go for the times I use the Switch undocked, it's just better for PlayStation. In fact, when I do take my Switch on a trip I usually play indie games. Like right now I'm about to take a flight home and having Celeste on the plane is going to be dope. But yeah, if you're not into Nintendo games then there's probably not any reason to own a Switch.
DanZan Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Switch already has a handful of games that i want to play, but it still isn't enough for me to dive in. If the Switch gets a new fatal frame / project zero then that would probably seal the deal for me personally.
MillionX Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Its status as a hybrid of console/portable gaming is the major selling point for me... they finally put out something portable with stronger specs (at least some steps above Vita and of course WiiU) and multiple ways to play it...and right out of the gate it was there with a strong first year, imo. ...sheeeit, but even if it had barely anything BUT Bayonetta I'd still get it...because that particular franchise is indeed that serious for me....one of my favorite games/franchises of all time....and now I can play it anywhere....sitting in the car at a long red light....or in the parking lot...or on a park-bench, or in the break room at work, or in a long wait at the drive-thru of a fast food restaurant (because when there's a minivan or SUV driver; y'know that's going to take a while...those people always order $80+ worth of food, man)...or at a sit-down restaurant... I had it with me on a recent trip to Logan's after work....or just anywhere around the house or apartment....the list goes on.... Words can't describe how awesome that ultimate versatility is to me. Azure Striker Gunvolt-- yeah I'm not sure about the powerups either... I was just kinda running through stages on that game as well, and I don't think the game really explained much of anything...or maybe I was just halfway paying attention. It's been a while since I played it though.

DangerousJ Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 I got Doom (2016) yesterday as an Easter gift. (PS4) I dont play many FPS and I’ve never owned an actual DOOM game. I played on my friends PC way back in 1994 or so. Anyway, Ive played the first 2 missions and Im enjoying it It’s pretty strange not to worry about reloading. OR hiding waiting for health to regenerate. I like the “super melee” attacks when the enemy is glowing orange/blue and you get some life back from it. This is one of the few games where I had to significantly adjust the brightness settings. Usually for stuff like Yakuza/Uncharted Im good with the default. For this, I had to increase it a lot. Before everything was stark black or red and I was having trouble seeing some enemies. It felt like a Daredevil radar sense simulator until I changed the brightness lol. The graphics are great. The sound design is very spooky especially with surround sound. I’m kind of surprised the weapon selection isnt assigned to DPad since IIRC you dont really need it for any actions . TheInfernoman and Chadouken 2
misterBee Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 @DangerousJ I'd suggest you try the Serious Sam series next. It's old-school FPS action like DOOM, but with HORDES of enemies. 50+ monsters running at you all at once with bombs in their hands while screaming. It's silly and wonderful.
