Video Game General 6.4: New Halo? What else?

I like SF5, it aint set the world on fire, but hardly a shitty game after the AE update. And they are supporting the hell out of it with consistent content, most of which u can get with ingame currency (albeit u gotta grind a bit)

At this point, its more personal preference than an outright terrible title

Not everyone is interested in said bomb shells. Though I like Resident Evil’s story I don’t care about the games (I’ve never been a survival horror fan.) . And I’ve never liked DMC (well, I take that back. I actually liked dMc. I know, I know. But get over it). I have no interest in Monster Hunter either. Mainly because I hate online play. Always have.

SFV is gross, honestly.

Though they have the license for mega man they aren’t doing anything with it really except retreading old grounds. I haven’t played 11 yet despite owning it but it comes off as more retreading.

There was a time that Capcom could do no wrong. But towards the end of the PS2 era and pretty much all of the PS3 era they shit the bed.

Same can be said for their handheld division. Yes we got the Phoenix Wright series but we also got a lot of duds. People liked MMZ, sure but a lot of people didn’t. They got as much blood from the stone as they could from battle network as well. Which includes rebooting it twice.

Cancelling MML3 was another thing that pissed people off. Powered up for PSP was fine. MMX Maverick Hunter was…uhh…an ambitious retelling of MMX. I don’t think it was necessary though. Broadening Viles backstory was cool though. So I appreciated that.

Not using IP’s like dark stalkers, rival schools, power stone, barely using Strider and other amazing IP’s despite immense fan outcry and support for said IP’s.

They’re just tone def and don’t really know how to read the room. They also have absurdly high expectations of a lot of their developers.

Sorry. I know this post is kinda incoherent and all over the place.

AH HAIL LORD, BOON!!

and the rest of the Netherrealm Studio team.

If online is the main reason you have no interest in MH you should give it another look. Those games are totally soloable, and have been for years

Also, the fact that they did RE2 and DMC5 shows they AREN’T tone deaf. Fans have wanted those for a while.

I get that. But playing online in those kind of games always came off to me as getting “the full experience” you know?

That’s just your perception. Aside from like 2 monsters the entire game is satisfying solo as well

Hm. Maybe. Iunno.

To be fair Stu, u hate everything😂 All those titles were dope tho, and MM11 was suprisingly good actually, which I didnt see coming. Stu you need to actually PLAY these games before u formulate an opinion lol

Again, its preference at this point. Their current gen games work mechanically speaking whether ppl like em or not. Im not a fan of the Souls games BUT they are mechanically sound, just not my cup of tea

No, I’m telling you that’s what it is. You don’t have to use MP and solo play is a ton of fun. You aren’t really missing out on much if you don’t like MP. Not trying to make you try the game, just saying the MP aspect of it is not an issue.

The PS3 strider game is hella good though.

Hell I bought it for PC too.

Gameplay is good but man it looks like ass. Strider himself looks fucking horrible lol

Strider was another suprisingly good game, I got it on a whim and got sucked in. I initially wrote it off as a cheap nostalgia grab.

Idk how it sold, but I’d like another. If it didnt sell well, i won’t hold my breath

I mean that’s your opinion but MHW online play has been virtually amazing!!
And you can solo the game with the right build and gear, save for 3 monsters.

It was fine. Still no Strider 2.

This. It was super ugly.

  1. not true. I’m just very dismissive or lack interest in most things. I rarely get worked up or excited over anything. I don’t feel it’s necessary these days. Not going to put my energy into something that can ultimately and likely be disappointing.

  2. glad to hear mm11 is good. The double gear system just seems like a dumb gimmick to me.

  3. I’ve played past RE and DMC’s. Not my thing. So why would I want to play newer iterations of them? And I never said any of them were bad. I just didn’t like or didn’t care about them. Again. Huge difference.

Actually we agree on that last part Stu, I said its more preference than Capcom making shitty titles this gen

Super Metroid sucks??

I think I’ll grab Samurai Shodown on the Switch, because it comes out later, haha.

Mario Maker 2 and Judgment are going to be taking up soooo much time.

I don’t think we can really call it UE3 anymore with how much they’ve done to the engine (remember, UE3 had trouble doing 60fps). They’re probably approaching the point where it’s as different ftom UE3 as GoldSrc (aka the Half-Life engine) was from the Quake engine.

Look, it’s not out fault you constantly shill for trash while shitting on actual talent.
