Video Game General 6.4: New Halo? What else?

PlayStation All-Stars needed a sequel to polish what it had. I felt the KO system needed to be reworked

All stars needed to not have kills linked to supers. It would have been a far better and enjoyable game.

I enjoyed PSA a whole lot but the way you won made matches take forever. Needing to land supers to kill could take a long ass while.

The way the characters played was top notch though. Zeus, the guy from Killzone, Parappa, Heihachi all were a blast to play. Had a lot of good times playing it.

They also needed to Nerf Dante and Drake. They were stupid good if not borderline broken. This is coming from someone who mained Dante and Drake.

Santa Monica heavily nerfed Drake when they ruined the game. They reduced the blast radius of his level 1 and increase the cool down for barrel and made it less effective overall.

Jak needed to not be shit tier. Game balance made me mad salty.

Ah. Didnā€™t know that. I just remember his running Ak, barrel and a few other moves being so good you didnā€™t need anything else.

Dante could combo you from pretty much anywhere on the screen as long as he wanted (usually TIL you built a leve 1) and then pop you.

Shit was ridiculous.

Did PSA sell well enough for a sequel or did it bomb? I want another

Kat was the same way but she was way worse. She could convert from any hit, build meter easily and had excellent mobility. A half decent Kat could easily dominate.

It flopped. Sony dropped the developer they formed to make it and thereā€™s been no talk about a new one. The game can truly be great if it can get a sequel.

Fought against Jwong in FEXL last night. There was one sequence where I made him eat shit with my Shadow Geist, but I still lost to his Sharon. :rofl:

Just downloaded terry. will try this weekend.

That power rangers trailer says available nowā€¦ lies i just checked.

I never felt that having to land supers to kill was so much the problem, but that most of the cast had dogshit supers unless it was their level 3s. If the character had a good level 1 that was easy to land then that automatically made them high tier. Raiden for example was the only character in that game that had multiple piss easy ways to land his level one. He was the only character that could throw into it without a wall bounce. He could also poke into it. Any other character with level 1 combos didnā€™t have it so easy. Parappaā€™s was character specific and not reliable. Even on big hitbox characters like sweet tooth. If level 1s were better across the board then matches would have been way better.

Edit: I forgot about Kat. She was busted as well. Haha.

Raiden wasnā€™t the only one. Ratchet had corner traps with his level 1. His level 1 had the longest active frames of any level 1. If you were knockdown in a corner you dead. I remember good and evil Cole having easy setups for their level 1s. Even a shit character like Sweet Tooth had one. If you landed the machete on a grounded opponent the level 1 was free.

Thatā€™s one collection I really hope Capcom decides to re-release.

The only reason I bought Viewtiful Joe is because I read the synopsis. I had never seen a trailer or gameplay for it. I donā€™t think I even saw screen shots for it. I just knew that from what I read it was going to be a very well thought out and beautiful love letter to Tokusatsu. Just based off that I knew it was a must buy.

Ended up absolutely loving it. The only one I didnā€™t play was Red Hot Rumble.

Finally got on my Path of Exile shit. This game is phenomenal. Iā€™ve been loving it and all Iā€™ve done for the past hour is run back and forth on the beach to kill shit.

Yeah I recall all of those. Raiden however was able to level 1 you in almost any situation off of most of his moveset. Superbot even nerfed all his shit in their first patch. Then Santa Monica patched most of it back in when they took over.

Try to keep progressing. The game has TEN acts to get through and then thereā€™s the fucking amazing end-game.

Iā€™m only 1/2 way through DMCV and I havenā€™t even touched Sekiro yet because Path of Exile is dat crack. Iā€™ve only played a bit of FEXL because of the new patch hype here and there.

If I wasnā€™t invested heavily into the PC version Iā€™d try out the PS4 version. @Million-X boy is even playing it again
