it took me two days to beat story campaign (and still have about 2 optional missions to beat). it really is awesome! it’s much more story deep and more challenging than Onechanbara. there’s more variety of mission objectives and level design layout as well. each mission feels like it has its own differences. and the berserk zombies annd explodable zombies add more tension. every single mission has unique cutscenes and lots more dialogue than their previous games (unless you count Senran Kagura games, but for a story that focuses on 5 characters, the girls has a lot of social interactions and a little more indepth character development going on, which is rare for story from the Onechanbara universe that are basically like “whatever” and are light on story. )
it is interesting if a later Onechanbara project might adopt the SG/ZH girls into the story or even talked about. but even as a standalone, it is a heartwarming survival story overall. and the game itself has one of a kind action with lots of charisma and epic experiences. and this game has some of the most impactful explosion effects.
hey, PS2 cant handle these graphics, and the sliding was only a little, online glitches like that are not that common.
these have more detailed graphics, more polygons, than FFX and FFXII. they definitely are above PS2 level graphics, and above Dynasty Warriors 8 graphics too, which is a ps3 gen title.
in single player the graphics and framerate are definitely higher quality. the visuals look really great for a game with lots of enemies, blood, gore, explosions, and clothes destruction
plus its one of the rarest games with the graphical capabilities to enter polished bathrooms in real time.
it wasn’t until after beating the story I came across translations for the characters unique traits:
"
Character Special Traits (bottom right)
Sayuri: Emergency First Aid Treatment
By holding down the item button you can resuscitate a friend that’s dying. The HP recovered will only be 50% of max health, but since it doesn’t use an AED it’s a great benefit.
Risa: Sense of Danger
Can dash for long periods and evade while only using little stamina. She has a lot of stamina and specializes in her mobility. On the other hand, her HP is slightly less than the other 4 so be careful.
Mayaya: Strong Perception
Can understand where to find hidden important items. When searching for things like clothes, crows and key cards, it’s said to be an indispensable ability.
Inami: Indomitable Pride
Doesn’t go down even if she receives a bit of damage. Can assertively attack. Even when surrounded by zombies, it’s easy for her to escape.
Rei: Experienced in Military Arts
Has the ability to perform her club attack without expending much stamina. Since she is invincible when performing her school club attack, when zombies get in close her counter is effective. "
that’s so cool, no wonder some players chose Sayuri online, though all the girls are awesome
I would never understand how someone can chill for the most random games out in the market without being paid for it. Specially funny on how all her posts seem to bring the anti hype
You still haven’t figured out that Affinity is a voice actress and every game she shills is one that she has personally worked on?
Granted that she is one of those low tier va’s that kromo wouldn’t even wipe his butt with but still.
I like how all this time I never even realized this was one of those sleazy battle damage outfit games. That makes them all having the same body/face even worse.
Every one of her posts reads like they are typed on a outline or format. Gotta be this hype. gotta use these words and phrases. It brings the anti-hype because all her posts about every game are the same, like every thread for a game she makes is going to be “REVOLUTIONARY!!!” when really they are all bargain bin cash ins.
Don’t get me wrong I’m a big fan of bargain bin stuff, cheap games with cheap thrills for a cheap price, but that’s all it ever is 99% of the time, but Affinity here actin like it’s Witcher 3/Souls,whatever levels of grand or something. This game is people lookin for cheap thrills, or have grown bored with their porn.
The only thing that is cheap is this games budget. Fucking zombies just fade away and also pop up out of nowhere. Too bad they want you to pay full price for this travesty. Not all her threads are terrible though so I can’t be a total dick. I’d say like 85% doe .
SG/ZH isn’t all that. I enjoyed it. It’s not like I’m going to play it for months and months, I’m hyped for Nier Automata, Double Dragon IV, Atelier Firis, Blue Reflection, FFXIV Stormblood, SG/ZH is cool but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I definitely enjoyed the campaign a lot more than Z2 Chaos though, and I like Onechanbara.
it’s one of those rare cases I would import something for that much, but it was worthwhile. its just messed up these devs still dont take advantage of a full dedicated 5 players co op campaign (if they make a new Onechanbara, they definitely should design the campaign for 5 players co op, they could even bring back a classic Onechanbara characters like Riho and Makoto.
the narrative was cute, but it took away from the campaign’s social values that could be generated favoring cooperative multiplayer for all its missions. the online co op was like a tease to greater things it can be. but I guess they felt the online was not on par with standard performance, so they dedicated the campaign for single player, and yea, a lot of missions are designed in such a way that it would be very confusing for some teams to navigate, and especially with the timer, it would lead to aggravation trying to get a competent group to beat them all. I think SG/ZH shines the most with the point 1 to point 2, as well as the defend the ZPF communication device. I think it would of done fine with something of a KF2 format, mixed with some L4D, RE:ORC, and ZAT journeys, all supporting 5 players co op, though ah well, it’s a humble TPS.
I’m not sure about Senran Kagura peach beach splash, unless it has 5 players campaign co op, I rather play the next Senran Kagura action game they are planning. water blasting TPS is kind of not so exciting making a whole game about it.
Somebody get the mods, Affinity’s account got hacked. Seriously alot of these Japanese devs are droe the ball on the next gen. Then again they probably don’t want to be locked into a cubie for 2 years straight like squeenix did its ppl for ff15. Probably got dudes in a dungeon right now working on the ff7 remake.
Aksys Games is bringing it to the west , I heard it’s only $40 or $50? what a deal! November 17, 2017!!
having the import, I wonder if server will be cross region? well I’ll buy the western version anyways as thanks to Aksys. I’m actually surprised they are localizing it, although XSEED would have bundled it with soundtrack, artbook and stuff like that, I’m glad it’s being localized at all.
