Video Game General 6.5: Now with more surprise mechanics

We are at the end of September and I feel like this backlog of games I got is never going to end. Although outside of Pokemon and Death Stranding this holiday feels quiet.

By that same token, it doesn’t seem to be a lot of major bombs for next January like this year.

It’s a massive improvement imo. Going black was the smartest move they could have possibly made.

Wonder if Switch can handle Ori. I’ll be curious to read about the performance. If it seems to be the same as X1X was I may get the sequel on Switch if it’s coming to it.

Welp…

Suit now includes the lite

Wow the new Aladdin movie was fantastic. Did not expect that shit. Will Smith freaking killed it as genie.

ok hell YEAH this game is the shit, man… I’m already loving it


If you even slightly like sidescrolling beatemup action you NEED this greatness in your life.

Just a quick glimpse of some good little crucial details this is serving up, folks…
dashing attacks, mid-air combos, quick-recover moves, ā€œdown>upā€ launcher attacks, specials, unlockable characters from what I hear…there’s a lot of good stuff on the plate here. Sheeeit, I’m already strongly leaning towards a double-dip so I can have it portable on Switch too (I didn’t know until just now it was on XB1 too so I got that version)

this guy takes a bit of time breaking it down:

Game looks dope as fuck. Reminds me of the NeoGeo Pocket snk Fighters when it comes to playable characters but TMNT/Battle Toads when it comes to enemy variety.

Back drops are crazy stylish too.

ohhh this is too good; I love how the big bull-faced dude has perfect ā€œTIGER UPPERCUTā€ form with his uppercut…the only thing missing there is him actually calling it out as ā€œTiger Uppercut!ā€ :smile: I know a legal team would probably have something to say about it though if they went there.

Edit—ehhhh the Bull dude ā€œRicardoā€ā€¦ at least my first impression isn’t so great compared to other characters; I’m having an easier time playing as F. Norris so far…ohhhh and Norris’ moves are the shit, man… press jump twice and he does a FAST dive-kick you can easily start combos with

DIS TEW FUN.

Some cancel combos, everyone else thus far seems to use the same BNB. But I’ll do my own shit.

As to why I play this game as much as I do, plays sick, and surprisingly isn’t dead online. Also netcode is superb. Most not SF, Tekken, MK FG’s are dead in 2 weeks, if that. This remains active, and most people know how to play.

Well, this new Contra game turned out to be much much worse than what I was expecting…

damn, after some quick research, I see that the unlockable enemy characters in Fight N Rage cannot be played in arcade mode…damnnnn I was hoping for that since I already unlocked the first few… :pensive:

Been playing Castlevania Grimoire of Souls the last couple days and it’s not bad, but I can see how grindy it’s going to get. You get towards the end of the first grimoire and things start to pick up a bit. You try to play that on Hard Mode to level up a bit more and it triples the suggested battle level so you’re doing next to no damage, but grimoire 2 on normal is definitely a few steps above where you should be too. So grind city. But so far the weapon rng has been pretty good to me, I got 2 5 star weapons for Alucard and a 4 star for Shanoa, though I’ve been making Simon and haven’t really gotten anything that good for him yet.

I need to get back to Bloodstained though, I think I’m near the end and I kind of put it down.

Decided to optimize the stance cancelling stuff with that new character. One meter drain version, and a not meter version.

They have slight differences before the finish, some moves are taken out of the version that has EX move + super, as the additional moves will cause hitstun to decay before getting there.

This game is fun. There’s tons of other fun games, and I come up with combos for all that shit, but in this game, I get to actually fight MF’s and put the combos to use. LOL.

Crazy thing, I don’t know anything past the original Rangers. All these characters are like Who TF is this dude? Then the next guy coming has Cable’s exact HPx5, hnnng.
