Why Do You Think Stylish Action Games Died Out This Gen?

[MeachTheMonster]

Scalebound isn't coming this year. And it's clearly an ARPG, not what the OP is talking about.

They are calling nier an "action rpg"

But it seems more in the style of bayonetta than the witcher.

That's because it still is an action-rpg and while it's more similar to Bayonetta than Witcher 3 (mainly due to Platinum devs.), it's still an action-rpg, as thats' what the original game was and all the other elements to it.

Scalebound and Cuphead ain't ever coming out


Just remembered I want Metal Gear Rising 2. Bad

 

[Anti-Anime]

I think we can safely say Capcom killed that

The only ones that kept he genre alive over the past few years is platinum. Even then things like nier: automata being bayo lite doesn't really quench that stylish action appetite imo. The genre has definitely fallen off in favor of the soulsstyle games.

Ni-Oh seems to be switching things up by sprinkling a little of stylish action in it. I remember watching an video of someone doing juggles in the beta but thats about as much as your gonna get outta that.

Hopefully capcom stops bullshytn and drop DMC5 the streets been fiending for the GOAT to come back now more than ever.

One one hand, I'd love Dragons Dogma 2.

On the other hand, DMC5 is long overdue.
