Why am I so bad at beat-em-ups? Played Lollipop Chainsaw, God Hand, and Viewtiful Joe, and couldn't get very far in any of them before ragequitting. My attacks seem to do no damage, whereas when I watch people play the games, they kill enemies in a few hits. I'm clearly doing something wrong. I get that beat-em-ups have multiple attack buttons, and I'm supposed to be performing combos, but I cannot for the life of me figure out when to use which attacks.

>My attacks seem to do no damage, whereas when I watch people play the games, they kill enemies in a few hits.
honestly would have to see gameplay from you to see what you're doing wrong. but regardless. In God Hand, for damage, you can start off by doing the kick loop (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/q3405pH_rHc) which basically only requires you to counter, launch or stun an enemy, have them up against a wall, then spam X > up dodge (right stick) > X > up dodge > … over and over again, until they're dead or escape the sequence somehow. IMO the main thing to learn isn't "what moves to use" but how to deal with each individual enemy type, how to crowd control enemies i.e. group them up together and hit as many of them as possible with a single attack, mainly via your kicks, sometimes after dividing and eliminating annoying ones first, and which targets to prioritize. A lot of God Hand's regular enemies mainly just ask you to pressure them with your jab combo into a guard or slow, counterable move then either using a guard crush or counter hit move (high side kick is a good one for counter hitting)
also with Viewtiful Joe, don't you just use the slowdown and spam your attack to do good damage?

Some say that the golden age of gaming was the 80s, 90s or 2000s but I say that the real golden age of gaming was the 2010s during the RPGMaker boom. Sure, it was 2D but it wasn't monetized to fuck with P2W battle pass bullshit or paying $80 (Not counting DLC) for a game you don't even own and can literally be taken from you at any time.

the rpg maker boom was certainly really important for gaming in general considering how it let people develop games without learning shit like modeling, but saying it was the best is kinda crazy considering indie games today are getting better and better (while AAA slop gets sloppier and sloppier)

Want to play Mass Effect Anonymous 01-02-26 21:34:50 No.45823[Reply]

I've seen some posts talking about how amazing the games are and I want to play them. I don't know if I should get the original 3 separate games or the legendary edition, any suggestions?
(pic unrelated)

Anonymous 01-02-26 23:16:15 No.45825

Legendary. For 2 and 3 it basically does not matter, the changes are non-perceivable. Mass Effect 1 Legendary edition greatly improves combat, which was awful in original game. However the graphical updates do not always respect original art direction, ruining atmosphere of certain moments. It also does not include one DLC (source code got corrupted), but it is just a combat arena with no story. Still, Legendary edition turned Mass Effect 1 from my least favorite in the series to favorite.
Also Legendary Edition unlocks all difficulties, previously you had to finish the games once to be able to select the highest. I would not recommend picking it for Mass Effect 2 though, it becomes unbearable slog on insane. Fine for other two though.

Anyway, very good series. Peak video game space opera. The most disappointing ending ever, as you probably heard.

To add to that: Its a great example of piracy (and unofficial mods) preserving videogames. Atleast you can still get most games on PC that way. Im also forever grateful for those chads that make sure older games can run on modern windows.

I’m playing far cry 2 with redux+ realism and I’m amazed by the level of immersion and sense of control I have over my time with it. The mod fully disables all in-game features to assist the players availing to navigate the map meaning your paper map and some screens showcasing your location is all you get to figure out where to go. I’ve navigated my way through several missions off my own accord, having to learn to be patient with outposts, run the fuck away from anything that looks like trouble and fight with barely any ammo is such a unique experience you can’t create in so many games. The world itself even without mods is beautiful and every hour I spend playing makes me feel like I’m genuinely apart of it, something you wouldn’t typically get from a non roleplaying game.

I have finished chapter 1. Clearly my affection for Gokumba, the UFLL boss, was not reciprocated, as after getting rid of local APR leader I was betrayed. UFLL attacked Mike's bar where fellow independent mercs hang out, and church with friendly priest and refugees. I had to choose which one to save, opted for former. Not that it did any good, everyone was still killed and me grievously wounded. Once again I was nursed to health by Jackal and then found by APR mercenary lieutenant Greaves. He tasked me with eliminating Gokumba at his victory rally. Once that was done I ventured to report back to Greaves and transition to new chapter 2 area. This whole segment of the game was quite tense as all my buddies died, so no rescue if I get shot. Greaves was displeased with recent political development between factions which were about to agree on cease fire, meaning mercenaries are out of the job, so I was to escort a barge full of weapons to a central town of map to make it look like UFLL is gearing up for offensive.
I knew this mission was coming, I remember it being a giant pain in the ass when I played the game as a kid. I ignored the whole no reloading rule during it. It is a scripted turret section, except if you attempt to actually use the turrets on the barge you will die. You are bombarded by an RPG, a mortar, and infinitely respawning gunboats. Halfway to town harbor a gunboat with automatic grenade launcher will spawn, which I suspect is glitchy, because its splash damage killed me multiple times through cover. Explosions damage barge engine which has to be repaired to continue moving. Took me like 20 restarts to get through, and even that was only when the grenade boat somehow accidentally blew itself out. It is virtually impossible to finish without knowing exactly what to expect beforehand. First time I when I died to a mortar shell I didnt even know was coming I felt bad and was considering quitting, but after experiecing what a bullshit designed mission it is I continued. Devs seem to agree too as they had put a save station on the barge, an acommodation not present anywhere else in the game.
Then after delivering the guns you go meet the doctor who lives in the middle of the town, and the fighting suddenly breaks out between factions. So now you have to get out of town with with infinitely respawning troops clashing with each other. AftePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

And shortly after died normally in the open world in an absolutely most pathetic way. Was driving, got rammed by a car patrol, not even those two man trucks with machine gun, normal car with a single dude armed with rusty AK in it. He immediately got out and started shooting me, I didnt even know what was happening, switched to my cars machine gun, too late. Entire thing happened in like two seconds. Still no buddy rescue, so I am dead.
I dont know, this time I got too far to do it all again.

So does anyone know why exactly every Phantasy Star related forum is full of AI bullshit now? I swear, at first I thought it was just the subreddit (because of course it would), but other places like the pscave forums have AI art bullshit plastered everywhere, and even searching for youtube remixes leads me to AI music.
I'd talk about the irony of so much AI garbage being made by the community, when Phantasy Star 2 especially is so anti-AI, but it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Like is everyone who plays these now just utterly, creatively bankrupt?

noticing a lot of "retro" game stuff on youtube, facebook, etc. tends to fall into this trap of just pumping out AI slop (be it through remixes, goonbait, video thumbnails, etc.) I think in part it's the same thought process of "this makes me happy just cause it exists/reminds me of better times" that also creates things like fanart, fangames, remakes, challenge runs, etc. (and if the audience doesn't care about quality, they'll surely click your shitty Suno-genned city pop remixes), partly also that the lower technological/financial requirement for say, playing Mega Man X on an emulator means you reach plenty of people that don't really care about having anti-AI sentiment, partly also that it's very rare to find anyone that cares about games beyond immediate gratification or nostalgia value and will also write or make interesting stuff from them. Also, after 20-30 years, i imagine the "novelty" of genning slop makes them feel like they're sparking light on a thing that is otherwise dead, lol.

It's just really sad to me since this series had such a nice community back in the day. They were out here doing like 3D animations before PSO came out, actual fanart (pic related), fanfiction, it all looks so much more human than what it is now.
Like I can't in good will look at some douchebags praising some AI slop bullshit recreation of the PS2 title screen, which actively takes away from the original art (because AI prompts are specifically coded to draw women a certain way), as anything other than sheer irony.
They literally exemplify everything the original game warned us about, but they can't see that because they literally don't value old games, they only like them BECAUSE they're old. If they came out today they'd probably never even glance at them.

Taking into consideration how Hideo pretty much spot on predicted the situation we're now in as far as the information age with MGS2, and how he totally predicted a lot of aspects of COVID in Death Stranding, not to mention any of the other pieces he's seen coming, what do you think he and Jordan Peele have cooking with this OD game? I don't think there's anything out about it other than what we saw at the game awards.

there was a new york city mission planned in mgs 2 where the mothership crashes into manhatten, had to be cut bc 911 happened. he of course is part of the ingroup, death stranding is a game about being a mtf transhumanist & communism. no premonitions, he is in the know ofc. dont be a naive fool.

videogames are a psyop frm the beginning, cod is a military recruitment ad. bioshock created by ((ken levine)), deus ex conceived by ((warren spector)), inventor of the videogame console ((ralph h baer)), enough said.

<death stranding was about being a man and carrying a baby around in your artificial uterus (transhumanistinsm at its finest, so many are dreaming about having a uterus transplant), further about america being too individualistic and we need to bond together to be more inclusive and communist, otherwise we will not survive the parallel dimension alien invasion.
also weapons and killing bad, please give up your violent ways, americans, it makes the baby cry.

<recycling piss and shit into grenades and such, green propaganda, resource saving measures, reduce co2 or other such nonsense.

<MGS V was about covid

<DS is all about the upcoming division of america, the ideal for him was that we behave more like Sam and start making Bridges to reunite the country, which just seems very hard atm.

With the amount of shill threads about Stellar Blade I kept seeing on 4chan /v/ saying it was a "decent action game" I ended up buying it along with some other games for my brother's birthday last year (at great expense as it's a modern video game and all). He never touched it so I finally gave the demo a go myself to see if it was worth the hype.

It was a Sekiro-like. and not even that great a one. It almost seems like it was hyped to shit because it had attractive girls in skintight suits and almost only because of that. I had more fun with Devil's Third of all games.
