While I know their legendary status, I've never played on PC and never will. Risen1 was an attempt to win back faith after the desaster that was Gothic 3. It is good, but has it's shortcomings, obvious ones at that. Like, there are literally no sidequests after Chapter 1 what is pretty big uffff Risen 2 was..... interesting. The game was something completle different from before and it didn't actually sit well with their Fanbase. Risen 2 is usually the game people know is there, but try to not talk about it. Had a pretty good story tho. Elex reminded me personally a lot about Gothic 1. You have a very good and solid fundation there, but it lacks a lot of finetuning and honestly the QoL the next game brought. I look forward to Elex 2 tbh. But honestly if you ever play on PC or even Laptop, Gothic 2 is a really good choice. It runs on a modern day toaster. Link to comment
delete_me Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Yeah, I hope Elex 2 turns out good. The CGI trailers have been super cheesy but hopefully the game will improve where it needs. It's a bit concerning they're putting it on last-gen consoles again though, that seems like an unecessary amount of porting work and might hold back some aspects of its design. Link to comment

Strong agree with basically everything here. EX moves in SF are especially egregious since typically each character gets a whooping 3 versions of every special lol. EX moves started off as an ok idea, but I feel like it’s devolved into a reason to give characters bad meterless options. Mattatsu 1 Link to comment

Ryu's fireball in SF5 stayed bad for so long because he had EX and then he could VTrigger for the dumb ones. I can personally only accept the removal of EX moves (for one game) if SF6 goes back to Alpha-style gameplay: - shorter combo - no V-ism - Hyper Alpha 3 parries or standard Alpha Counters - no dashing - multiple Supers by default - no EX - Air blocking - super fast walkspeeds - definitely nerf Rose and Sakura - maybe add heavier damage scaling if they do custom combos but since most would see this as a regression from SFV's mechanics (and I certainly don't see Capcom going that back in the Street Fighter timeline after everything that happened in V's story), then 6 but without EX entirely would just be weird. Especially when EX moves in DBFZ, KOF, MKX, MK11, and Cross Tag are so fun Link to comment

GG Boomers complained about BB being "baby mode" for reasons that I honestly can't fathom, because if you play that game, it's anime af. Then they bitched about Xrd because everyone didn't have Dante-like movepools and all the time they spent practicing those moronic FRCs were wasted. Now they're bitching about Strive because ArcSys wants people to actually play instead of getting knocked down and holding all kinds of shit. Frankly? Fuck them.

Legit asked them why they were making the game easy for beginners at an evo panel. Timestamped so even Zyfer can see that people have been complaining about the same shit since BlazBlu. No amount of calling Strive a "baby game" is going to magically make some of the pressure there hard to deal with. So its w/e to me. Made for babies or not. Game can either be fun or not. Once its fun they can worry about making it good. Playing Strive like a crackhead on a daily basis since it released and...still fun. Frustrating but still fun. Link to comment

ArcSys did have a period of them dumbing down games to appeal to the masses, you could say that the seeds were planted with Stylish Mode, and even say idiotic shit like P4A being the start of it (It wasn't, Autocombos in that game had a legit purpose besides giving noobs an ez combo.), but DBFZ and BBTag were definitely where it got to be too much. People may claim it started with BB just because it didn't have weird stuff like Sol's finicky Sidewinder loops, but at the end, this will always boil down to where one draws the line and a whole lot of semantics.

But blaming Capcom for the shit GG does or other companies do when its industry insiders looking at their own products and trying to do stuff to get people to play for longer. Capcom didn't start it. ArcSys has been trying to make certain things easier since BB. With Xrd they used #Reload as the base instead of AC+R. Let's not even get into the people who thought the chains and gatlings in the VS series, done to make some stuff easier, was also baby mode stuff. Bigtochiro 1 Link to comment
