SCARLET NEXUS (Official Thread)

[Gizmo_Duck]

I played it on hard mode so maybe that has something to do with my 1st impression.

Combat felt great, the enemies weren't hard or anything up until I got to the specials ones, eventually you have to make use of all your powers so combat shouldn't feel shallow until maybe once you are OP and can mash through it.

But having the right type to break armor and avoid or just hit an enemy was a pretty big deal, traveling was pretty standard but you also get abilities that let you get around to secrets areas and things like that. I'd say give it another shot on hard mode with the dude 1st.

Yeah, it def wasn’t “button mashy” it felt more like Rock Paper Scissors style fighting like Ghost of Tsushima. Every enemy has a weakness you have to exploit before you can do damage and you have to actively strategize with your team mates to get through it.

Ideal for me. I just hope the story can stay captivating.

What didnt you like about it??

The anime characters, lol.

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

I like anime but with these things they can go either way. It can be like 13 sentinels or Nier and constantly ramp up until the very end, or it can be like code vein where it just continues to get stupid

I always expect jrpg's to jrpg they always get convoluted and dumb imo. The only one that never did to me was chrono trigger... but it definitely got really really close to it....and then chrono cross came out lol.

But yeah it's a jrpg anime game... I expect the story to be good then go left field.

I mean Nier is kind of an exception to JRPG's. Plus isn't 13 Sentinels is more so a VN than a JRPG.

Yeah but it’s still “anime” the game. The story actually reminded me of darling in the franxx

 

[Lord Beasley]

looks cool but i aint preordering shyt.

 

[Dallas' 4 Eva]

shyt reminds me of Nier: Automata.

 

[Superkick Party]

Yeah after beating Kasane's part in the demo p much sealed the deal, I'm getting this day one. Was worried she wouldn't be as fun as first but goddamn when they showed the SAS powers she had


Goddamn it really is fun with the dualsense

Let me jump into the middle of this conversation and say Nier/13 Sentinels have better stories than any western game.

There is something off-putting about the graphic style or camera or something but it gives me a headache.

Combat seemed really cool but story seemed like absolute trash. Will get it on sale to support JRPGs.

 

[Grand Conde]

Combat was shallow.

Flashy, but ultimately was just me spamming buttons with random shyt happening on screen. Reminds me of kingdom hearts in a way, and that’s not a good thing

Play ARPGs on easy mode brehs.

I do think maybe the camera speed or motion blur or something is kind of annoying. Thats def gonna be something i have to play with when the full game comes out
