Is Trials of Mana good?

Can someone help me understand the Soul Calibur hate? I really donā€™t get it. Seems like that community hasnā€™t even TRIED to enjoy their game since 2. I feel like IV was the low point and every game besides it has been pretty damn solid.

Thereā€™s always something with each game that causes a major spark of hate. V had the problem of having half the cast being gone and being replaced by expies. The addition of 2D elements like the meter pissed off 3D purists. Reversal edge grinds a lot of people gears in VI and wasnā€™t helped by the fact it was a surefire way to build meter quick. Thereā€™s the never ending battle of allowing custom characters in ranked.

Hm. I see. I get the lack of cast members in five but, everything else seems so fixable. Seems like SC dudes mostly just give up on their game over one aspect rather than finding things to enjoy about it and making an effort to have things changed.

I think the problem with Soul Calibur is the game had a larger casual base than a competitive one. The series never seems to be able to hold on to their players long term.

Yeah. Itā€™s kinda sad. Iā€™ve never tried to really enjoy the games competitively myself, but I am happy they exist. Iā€™d hate for 6 to be the last game. Iā€™ve gotten a ton of fun out of every game regardless.

well, no fighting game purist shares my concern, Iā€™m sure (since duh they care more about the core aspects of the game)ā€¦ but that custom character mode in SC now is basically ruined at this point. It has to load every time you change anythingā€¦even if youā€™re just cycling through the various optionsā€“> *go to shirt categoryā€” check out shirt #1 = load time. check out shirt #2 = load time. Check shirt #3 to see how it looks = more load time. Check out shirt #4 = more load time. Itā€™s like this for everyfuckingthing. Whoever set it up this way is a piece of shit that needs to get punched as hard as possible in the face. I didnā€™t even think it was possible to fuck up a custom character mode in this way, but they figured out how to do it and proceeded to sink further below even the lowest expectations. This is on top of 99% of the items being recycled from past games anyway. It irks me just thinking about this shit. Iā€™d recommend people not even spend 5 cents on this pathetic, shoddily made nonsense.

FURY UNLEASHEDā€”ok, I was about to buy this and looking at the store page on itā€¦ then noticed the co-op is only local. Iā€™m still getting it (probably just on Switch then since no online multiplayer capability) but thatā€™s quite a letdown, as I was expecting to play this with certain friends onlineā€¦I keep seeing that a lot this genā€¦ games that wouldā€™ve been perfect for online co-op/multiplayer, then you see it either doesnā€™t have it at all or is only local co-opā€¦what the hell, man?

that reminds meā€”I brought this up with someone the other dayā€”Agents of Mayhem is a classic example. The game seems tailor-made for 3-player co-op madness (youā€™re playing 3-person squads all the time, switching between characters whenever you want)ā€¦and itā€™s pure single-player. What in the hell was up with that decision? The game mightā€™ve been slightly more successful if was co-op, I think.

editā€”haha, just checked out Huntdown right next to itā€¦Iā€™ve had my eye on that one tooā€”of course itā€™s only local co-opā€¦of course.

Lord of Exile, Chaos Galaxy, Jetboard Joust, Savage Halloween, Rick Henderson, Sir Lovelot, Iron Vulture, Clan N, FictionSphere, Dragon Blazers, Terror of Hemasaurus And Mighty Goose all look good to fantastic .

Elphame is an honorable mention. Itā€™s so fucking ugly itā€™s almost charming. Looks like a CD-I game.

Huh. I wonder if itā€™s that bad on PC. Iā€™ma look.

Edit: It does do that, but the load times are way faster than they are on console I assume. That would be agonizing if it took any longer than the half second it takes on PC.

The cursed hot take.

Dont mention this in other parts or people get mad.

Also SC5 was great and I enjoyed most of the newcomers. If you werent there to see Li Long replaced by Maxi, I dont want to hear youā€™re crying.
