https://store.steampowered.com/app/3882430/_/ Spooky, when are we playing the yuru camp overcooked clone?

Time to buy everyone this for Christmas kappa

62 hours in

I have reached the Crimson Desert

Is it actually crimson

uh, it's pretty fucking red

idk

how red is crimson

it took me 150 hours to find the dragons dogma in dragons dogma 2 thoguh

I do kind of want to go back and finish dd2 at some point

my hope for their to be DLC has pretty much died

which is very sad

the first games dlc is really good

that was originally going to be what would have gotten me to start again

actually peak

dragons dogma preforms extremely good format wise in a dungeon

especially since it was kinda a rougelike

randomization made it fun

wait, this is just the Twilight Princess Desert

Korea has robbed Japan's idea jar again

lowkey i think im having the jaded mindset of darksouls and basically elden ring, have tainted gaming

and will continue to for a long long time

i dont think we'll get third person action games that arent heavily infused with souls dna

for along long long time

I think we also need to remember how BAD a lot of early 2000s 3rd person action games were though

not everything should become a soulslike

and honestly DS1 soulslike combat is completely different from ds2, bloodborne, Elden ring, etc.

yes the combat is different but the general framewkork is still tehre

i think a lot of them in a way had their merit though

even if they were poor excuses of games

but I just don't like that every game bakes combat rolls into everything, which I blame DS2+ for

ds2 is the one that gives you the explicit option to not roll

before DS, combat rolling was a joke

idk, maybe it was just because it was pre-meme

but DS1, everyone played shield or parry builds

and it wasn't until DS2 I remember people starting to click with modern soulslike combat

and after then, the idea you'd play without rolling was insane

i mean the fact that even stuff like assassins creed is now dodge spam slop

evn if i wouldnt call old assassins creed combat good

its LITERALLY eveyrthing

but there are other solutions...

not glazing dragons dogma but just using it as an example, only one class has a dodge roll and it fucking sucks, melee classes you just tank and strafe a bit and you have the hp to take the hits strider/assassin you use the shitty dodge roll or your movement to jump and leap around everything ((or climb on the boss)) and casters run around from afar casting sekiro is technically the same "press 1 button to avoid damage" but it at least feels different because instead of taking control away from your character and disengaging you you stay intwined in the flow

but everything now is all combat MUST be you press a button and your character dashes/rolls/dodges

I think all modern 3rd person combat systems we get now are one of: dodge spam - Soulslike systems cinematic attack spam - Spectacle fighters, muso games, and stuff like Batman flashy parry systems - Sekiro, etc.

Was strider the one in the first game that had the spin jump move that I abused the shit out of on my second playthrough

yes syren

and spooky i would say sekiros parry system is very different compared to the average "parry" game

i think despite how good sekiro feels, it falls more inline with how the souls games actually function

for what the parry does

ik there are a couple others that fall into that

where it's fast and is more rhythm based

Here's the real question: good game?

they dont dexist

Have a friend who said he planned to pick it up

the last good game was.......

Ik they dont

man what was the last good game

The last good game was

T.G.

Phantasy Star Online 2 on the Xbox

There's less than 1 AAA game a year that I even feel compelled to call good Expedition 33, Wukong, Baldurs Gate 3, and before that probably Death Stranding 1

and most of those other than Death Stranding, are just getting by on production value

the game underneath is pretty basic

yeah we should get games like this again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09T8U91JWgU

I heard its ded, I didnt hear many good things about pso2 when it released again on pc

pso2 ngs is really really bad

yes

they updated the visual style and made it all look really bad

I can only think of the sonic man armor

that game has a lot of crossovers

I imagine its the only way it stayed alive

in japan the fanbase is pretty dedicated

im rpetty sure its dead in the west

It was when I checked a few years ago. I imagine it only stays online by selling crossover ip stuff to whales of whatever JP ip they can get

PSO3 will surely be Segas super game that launches in march.

uhuh

to a degree i miss floaty combat games but the only thing alive that even does them even more is kingdom hearts (lol) and even then idk if id call that alive

I miss games where they just kind of accepted that the combat systems was to serve some other part of the game (usually story)

As Spooky said above, all action RPGs must be roll slop by state mandate
