Let's have an action game thread.
DMC/Bayonetta/God Hand you know how it is.
Let's have an action game thread

Just finished Operation 4 and 5 on hard. God I love this game
Isaac Young
I've been playing Killer Is Dead, that game feels awesome at 144hz. Too bad it crashes sometimes
Austin Reyes
I really like Vanquish but it can get annoying when Sams body model gets in the way of seeing the enemy

I really don't get it, Zig Forums is supposed to love games like God Hand and DMC, yet these threads always die.
Aaron Hall
To actually be good at this games at the highest level actually take some practice, determination, and skill. Zig Forums is a casual shithole board larping as "hardcore gamers" but when push comes to shove most of the people were are chimps with no skill or reactions. Same reason fighting game discussion is non existent here.
Adam Cook
It's a dead subgenre. I've loved it for a long time. The only real game that's come out lately is DMC5 and Astral Chain. You're not allowed to like Platinum anymore on Zig Forums so you can't talk about their games, and most people don't even bother because Platinum is shitposted so heavily against. DMC threads aren't even about DMC, they're mainly just about being faggots and talking headcanon and circlejerking some more. It's also got a high skill ceiling as a genre and nobody is willing to put up with that any more. Video games in general are becoming less and less popular with normies every single year and only movieshit like the last of us and faux-indie garbage is the only shit you can find anybody interested in. Platinum and DMC and shit aren't the type of games that normies are willing to just try anymore because video games as video games are starting to go extinct. No new fans are being created except by legit game enthusiasts who like gameplay and want to broaden their horizons. Also I agree with this guy.
James Perez
Agreed, and yeah this board is a lost cause. I was in a DMC thread and the topic of S Ranks came up, and someone actually implied you don't need to be good at the games to have a valid opinion. Like holy fuck shit man, THIS is what this board has devolved into. DMC seems to have the worst chunk of the casuals though, which is understandable considering its popularity. I even remember another incident, again about S Ranks, that to put so much value in the S Rank was "Dark Souls Elitism". Especially a DMD S Rank. This board is so beyond shit at games it's unreal.
William Gonzalez
It fucking boggles my mind that people actually come into threads after one playthrough, and now instead of asking "how do I get good?" or, "how do I approach this next harder difficulty?" it's just "this game is shit and I don't need to validate my opinion", "i beat the game, my opinion is valid". It's infuriating beyond belief and honestly, fuck them. There will always be a niche of gamers that love games for gameplay on top of having unique and very japanese-y identities, casuals will continue to be a worse and worse problem until video game companies fucking implode due to seemingly hating being vidya companies and we can all fuck off back to solitude.
I just fucking hate how Big Gaming is trying everything it can to fuck over smaller developers that actually love vidya. Capcom and Nintendo are unironically our last hopes, as well as Platinum if they can survive (and god I hope they do)
David Miller
>tfw love the parry mechanic in bayo 1 but I always fuck it up
>tfw parrying in dmc 1, 3 and 5 feels way easier
What the fuck am I doing wrong
Zachary Gonzalez
Does Wonderful 101 get good?
I absolutely hated that intro and i'm stuck with a ps4 copy.
Justin Foster
If by intro you mean the very first part where you're running around on the bus/train thing, yeah that's not at all representative of the rest of the game
Jordan Green
Your brain is probably having a hard time with a different timing, just in the way it's hard wired. Also I need to know if by parrying in DMC you mean the actual clashes/parrying from attack the same time certain enemies do or if you mean RG. Personally my big fuck up with RG when I'm so used to pushing the stick to block and parry in Bayo is that I just tap the Style button really quick, when in reality I need to hold it for a quick second to make use of the 6 frame window, at least in 3 and 5. In 4 with its frame perfect RG and RG being shit I barely ever bother with it, but it still takes me holding the Style button to block for just a hair longer than a quick tap to make the royal blocks come out.
Liam Phillips
Yes, it gets better mechanically and storywise
Leo Evans
Honestly it doesn't pick up until chapter 3.
I liked the game, but all the QTE's got real old REAL fucking quick.
Like it's not bad that they are in the game, but having the weapons not register because you have to draw them got extremely frustrating.
I don't even want to imagine what it was like on WiiU. Played it on pc.

>playing DMC3
>playing Dante must Die

This is worse than arkham.
Aiden Sullivan
The #1 problem with W101 is how slowly the game opens up mechanically. You don't even have all the basic weapons until 005A.
Camden Young
Just takes until you start getting all your moves and wonderfuls unlocked, then the second half of the game is nonstop amazing
Ayden Russell
It does but it really expects you to take a little responsibility and learn the game for yourself. TW101 shares two important similarities to fighting games.
>execution requirement with the Wonder Liner acting in a similar fashion to fighting game inputs
>the game REALLY expects you to experiment and find things out on your own
There's a reason his has a reputation of being very "unfriendly" to new players
Parker Lopez
>Playing 3 on DMD
Why would you tell the game to not let you have fun, user? Also nothing is worse than Arkham, and Chess Board below DMD is quite fun.
Evan Stewart
Bro, just flick repeatedly and you'll land it every time.
Brayden Fisher
>DMC5 was shit
>Bayonetta 3 never
>Bayonetta 1 was shit
>God of War 4 was shit
How do we save the action genre, Zig Forums?
James Davis
Who are you playing as? If you're using Dante you can abuse Quicksilver on the King and Killer Bee Jump Cancel on him after he teleports. You really have to go in hard and kill the King as fast as possible with Dante. Vergil is so OP you can just brute force it on DMD.
Aiden Richardson
The chess board is normally fine I agree, but the DMD chess board is another beast. And I played DMD to unlock heaven or hell. While Arkham is ass you can get into some kind of groove to beat him while that devil triggered board is the worst shit ever.
Joseph Richardson
Dmc5 was shit? Nani?
Carson Nguyen
You're not supposed to let the chess board Devil Trigger, that's the gameplan
Nathaniel Wright

Easton Wood
fucking this.
also when the game starts giving you more stuff, it often presents you with a problem before you get the mechanic/unite skill that you need. then gives it to you when you solve the problem, making it infinitely easier. and it's fucking annoying.
Robert Harris

Grayson Ortiz
Huh? But the king is invincible for like 1 minute, I can only kill like 3-4 pawns before the trigger activates. I even tried to rush him but he just sat there a blue invincible shit.
Luis Brooks
How git gud at Wonderful 101? Just finished it on Normal and I'm playing again on Hard.
Christopher Sanchez
They sold like shit. God Hand is niche even on this fucking site and the moment you make a thread it either dies or is taken over by Mike and other autists from /cgg/.
It desperately needs a proper PC port because current fanbase is an autistic nightmare.
Isaiah Kelly
Zig Forums doesn't play videogames anymore, it just complains about them.
Michael Hughes
This.
God Hand is good in that you literally get all the mechanics you will have in game since the very start. All you unlock are just new moves.
Nolan Brooks
If you're using Dante you're not supposed to kill the Pawns, see
After a certain amount of time the King will become active on his own. Once he does that you must shoot him once to force his teleport and then immediately use Quicksilver to stop time. Then lay into him with Beowulf, repeat until the King is dead. If you actually try to kill everything on the board before the King you're going to have an utterly miserable experience.
Jaxson Sullivan
How do we approach Capcom to make them port God Hand to PC finally? There is that shit petition online but it barely has signatures.
