Video Game General 6.4: New Halo? What else?

So I’ve been playing Team Fight Tactics. Day 2 and I can pretty much always make it to top 3. You just need to cheese by making assassin build and it’s auto win. Meh I dont see myself playing this too much if they don’t balance it out.

Assassins
Brawlers
Wild

everything else is just way underpowered.

Deluxe edition of Final Fantasy 7 Remake is 60 bucks at amazon right now. Just use the coupon.

EDIT: out of stock now. Lol

You’re not helping. And this is how you are across many if not all topics here. Just chill old man. Don’t be a stereotype of the cranky old man.

New Samurai Shodown sounds pretty lit. I was gonna wait for the Switch version but I’ll probably cop the PS4 version now.

You heard anything about how the netcode is?

Watching videos of it I don’t know if that style of game will be as fun to me as it once was, but I know it’s still early. I’ll probably pick it up when its like $30 or something.

All reports say the netcode is pretty average SNK delay. Its also pretty barebones in terms of options etc.

I’m gonna fence-sit and see if they fix it.

I grabbed the season pass as it was free just in case.

The netcode is rough. I get delay and slow down in a lot of my matches. Shit feels like I’m playing underwater.

I actually grabbed SamSho 5 SP as it was on sale on the PSN store as i wasnt sure how I’d enjoy the game myself. It was like 7 aussie dollars.

They updated this one to roll back as well and is widely regarded to be the best emulation of the game.

Its actually really fun. I’m enjoying it more than i thought i would.

Ohhhh I love any video where someone shits on this stadia foolishness… here we have Upper Echelon ripping into it for a minute:

I got my copy of Mario Maker 2 today on lunch…still haven’t started it though because I’m on yet another really good run in Dead Cells at the moment…it would be nice to unlock something right about now because I happen to have over 200 cells on me at the moment! [left-over from defeating Hand of the King on Hard mode; I forgot that you actually keep whatever you had in terms of cells from that run going right into the next one…]

Thanks for the netcode info. Will definitely be passing.

SamSho will likely be a budget title in under 6 months anyways. And that’s not me saying the game is “bad”. I’m saying it’s likely to happen if it doesn’t reach sales goals.

Happened with Soul Cal 6, Starlink, Battlefield 2, Fallout 76, Crash Trilogy, Spyro Trilogy, a few others I’m probably failing to mention. It’s likely why a lot of switch games are $10-15 cheaper right now too.

Bought that Bloodstained.

Even the level up is straight up SOTN. Even the first theme in the ship is straight post SOTN CV music.

Shit cray

I finally bought Cuphead during this Steam sale- what a great example of how to do a modern Contra. Tough, relatively short stages/battles, a level select/overworld, selectable weapon loadouts (no depending on getting/keeping the right pickup, something Shattered Solider also did well), a good ranking system to encourage replays, and no limited continues bullshit. A big beef I have with most run and guns (and shmups) is the dedicated time sink a full playthrough takes, and the fact that screwing up late in the playthrough can ruin your entire lengthy run. Cuphead solves that problem completely without neutering the challenge.

I feel Bloodstained more Dawn/Aria of sorrow and Order of Ecclessia than SoTN, although SoTN set up the other 3.

An hour run is lengthy?

You meet someone later on who looks like Alucard and is voiced by OG PS1 Alucard himself. Shit, in the Japanese version this same character is voiced by the same guy who did the voice for OG Alucard in that region.

David Hayter is also a VA for one of the characters. I feel like this game is a big fuck you to Konami. :rofl:

Physical copies sold out in Japan. I think its actually done way better than expected.

I’m allowing myself to hope for a Garou sequel and even a Last Blade 3. Plz SNK.

Who is the monk with the hat?

P.S. I would be excited if Last Blade 3 became a reality.
