The positive impact Miyazaki/Fromsoft has had on the action game genre is undeniable at this point

[Gizmo_Duck]

Dudes will say anything for controversy

 

[Jaguar93]

Playing games without guards and parries just feels archaic at this point

Even Doom have those mechanics now lol

Majority of character action games have guards and parries bruh. Duck you’re just quacking right now.

You know what I mean, its different from having a parry/guard move tha nit being baked into how you play the game. A lot of people want the return of button mashers though

I don’t know what you mean

Hell nah. Platinum > From. These Soulslikes are so fukking boring, and indicative of the algorithms control of everything.

Seems like the only way to get $$$ to develop a game these days is to point out how similar it is to every other critically acclaimed and successful game that's come out.

You dont believe this. ER alone shyts on anything plat has done and I looovvveeddd Bayonetta

I'm playing Bayonetta 1-3 again right now . I'll never pick up ER ever again. And there won't be a need for it because some other game just like it with more coats of paint is right around the corner. What's going on with these games is like the JRPG craze in the 90s. A lot of great games, but they're basically the same game. Genre is just treading water.

breh the dark souls games themselves play considerably diff from each other so IDK what you getting at. the bones are similar but these soul likes play different from each other more often than not

 

[Bondye Vodou]

So fromsoft invented Hack N Slash games?

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

I don’t understand what this thread is about

 

[MeachTheMonster]

I don’t understand what this thread is about

Microsoft is publishing Ninja Gaiden so now gizmo duck don’t like the entire genre anymore

 

[Zero]

Judging by some of the responses in here, that new Khazan game better go platinum

 

[Deezay]

Ninja Gaiden 4 looks like a Xbox 360 game.

I didn’t want to say it, but that shyt does look 2 Gens ago old with baby oil on it.

 

[DaSk8D00D]

I’ve always prefered soulslike combat to the super fast combo/heavy shyt

If my character rocking a big ass sword I want my hits to feel like they have some weight to them, not like you’re tagging someone up with a punch of Mayweather jabs for points. Even Final Fantasy 16 makes the sword feel like a rapier or some shyt. Nobody should take 30+ sword hits in a row and only lose a quarter of their health



Also Armored Core 6 is not a soulslike at all and is a 10/10 action game so it’s not like From is a one trick pony either

 

[Animal House]

Let that trailer had said “only on PS5” at the end same nikkas would be going wild

I went wild anyway, it’s Ninja Gaiden!
