/games/ - Games

Literally no one except for sekiro and blood borne fans was mad over elden ring

Like I guarantee half the actual seething over the game came from the communities of those two games crying about how easy it was to cheese and spam through the entire game with magic and bows compared to previous from software titles along with the game being generally easier with shit like auto magic regen and nonexistent caps making the meta only moderately less balanced than another RPG alike oblivion

I made a thread earlier discussing my woes with passivity in fighting games being I thought it was unfun but now I’m realizing it does have a lot of benefits I didn’t initially see

>passivity doesn’t equate to camping
>aggressive movement is really fun
Certain behaviours like dashing to and then away from your opponent to bait out an attack can be used aggressively. Along with that other behaviours like making sure to never stand still to ensure your opponent never fully knows what your up to helps it creates a level of thinking and problem solving involved in each match which allows for some level of strategy in these fast paced game

>there’s more ways to play passive than play aggressive
Beyond just being aggressive with your movement there’s other factors to consider. Changing your approaches to either rush with your movement or stay a distance with attacks with lots of range within a match to throw your opponent off guard so they can’t fully predict your actions making it easier to parry. Delaying your combo inputs to force your opponent to dodge or block early only to then follow that hit up with another string to finish the combo. Or just be a dick entirely and just jump around the whole match and only ever hit if your absolutely certain a hit will land

>it gets you to think more critically about a games mechanics
Passivity can encourage patience which allows for greater perception as to how certain attacks work and understanding concepts like hit box priority, when it’s safe to punish an attack or what strings can follow into a true combo etc it’s really fun seeing how these aspects can blend together and can lead to how you change your playstyle throughout a match

That’s all

Have you ever played a fighting game. Won a round
And then got invited to a private lobby by the guy you beat only to then get kicked from that lobby the moment the guy you beat manages to beat you once?

I hate the absurdity of copyright and the obsession with pop culture.

It’s the industry standard to combat hackers and modders in online games yet it has only partially achieved its main purpose

It’s been frequently documented to cause performance drops within games that shouldn’t even have issues with compatibility among multiple systems like apex, csgo and Brawlhalla. Sometimes when it’s implemented it actually escalates the amount of cheating, macros and hacks that occur because this software is updated frequently enough for modders familiar with it to not already understand how to bypass it. This keeps going but your seeing what I’m seeing

Is anybody interested in playing Yugioh? I have to relearn as it has been years since I've played, but I have had a strong desire to play lately even though I have nobody to play with. Reposting from /hobby/.

It’s basically nick all star brawl Warner bros edition
There’s no reason for you to play this over smash he’ll even Brawlhalla would be better as an actual game than this unless you just like the characters in multiversus that much

For me personally the combat feels really slow and less tactical than what I’m used to, the meta feels fucked up(Harley and the iron giant are completely busted considering their the few characters you can actually land combos consistently with) and the map design doesn’t feel as original compared to something like the iconic maps of final destination, or Brawlhallas twilight grove. Oh well
