/v/ - MERRY CHRISTMAS

>>15901195

16 hours total.

A bunch really. Darksiders 1, 2 and 3, The Punisher, MGSV TPP.

Recently beat Twilight Princess, it's been a long time since I played through the game. Got everything including the 60 poes for the first time as well as a loach catch and beating all 64 levels of Rollgoal.

>besides DMC and MGR

…bayonetta 2?

Kingdom Hearts III

Thanks to some nigger who sold it to me early.

>>15901169

i want to fuck that loli

Beat both Deus Ex and Planescape Torment the same day a, a couple days ago

Both are now among my favorite games

>>15901424

I also beat Metal Gear on the NES and am playing through the MSX version it's better

Replayed the first Mario Galaxy since I hadn't played it in years. Fuck manta surfing.

>>15901169

I got locked out of that dark evolution in there.

>>15901704

I almost got locked out of an evolution so I decided to do some research and found what I had to do before reaching level 30.

How was Mario galaxy

>>15901285

Try out Transformers Devastation while you're at it. 5 heroes, tons of weapons, damn good combat, and a reunion of the original cast. Kinda short but great

>>15901828

Pretty decent. I hadn't played it in years, so it felt kind of fresh again, and I when it comes to replaying Mario games, I don't do so all that often. Mostly rather easy, but some of those one-star levels are a right pain (like that cake galaxy).

Still seems an annoying choice that every time you boot it back up you're down to five lives, though what with the star bit mechanic, it's not especially hard to build them back up.

>>15901169

Does it live up to the old Monster World games?

>>15901285

>I'd really like to keep playing on the harder difficulties, but I also want to catch up on the other action games I missed out on. Any big recommendations besides DMC and MGR?

Biggest recommendation is to keep playing on the harder difficulties instead of moving on to something else immediately. Normal mode is mostly a tutorial, you need to challenge yourself to see if you actually learned anything about the combat. Go for ranks, do the Alfheims, you'll have more fun.

Besides Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe and Transformers Devastation are going to have the most mechanical similarities to Bayo.

>Normal mode is mostly a tutorial

This makes sense, the combat began to click for me towards the end of normal mode, and so far hard mode has been easier than the entirety of my first play-through. Alfheim's are kind of a pain in the ass at times though, and backtracking for encounters took me longer than it should have to start doing.

>>15902496

Not connected at all. Different series.

>>15902573

What's this game like then?

>>15902579

Kind of a combination of Mega Man (you can use the bracelet as a blaster alongside Elie's handbag as a weapon), Metroid (exploration and new abilities to progress), and a pet sim (pet can be evolved by appealing to the current form's likes, improve stats, learn new skills, and once mastered "summon" the move while in non-native forms). Game's got some issues, but it's fun. OST is also surprising good.

>me

>finishing video games

haha

>>15902579

Should also state that you can effectively revert at will from various evolutions, so it's not like you're locked into a particular track of pet. Of course, if you don't max out a prior form's appeal prior to level 30 (Chomp levels pretty fast), you won't be able to get to the higher forms stemming from it. Also not the sort of game you want to 100%; learn new forms, master new moves, but hitting level 30 in all forms is an exercise in tedium.

>you recently have beaten

my peanus weanus of course ha ha

Tales of Phantasia X for the PSP, easily the best version of the game. I had only actually finished the SNES one even though I played the GBA TRASH and PS1 ports, so it felt pretty good. I'll never regret having learned japanese

Got around to beating Castlevania IV for the first time. It was pretty good, just need to stop turning into DSP when I'm playing these games near the end.

Guacamelee 2, was good but fuck the memes and the chicken form platforming.

>>15902633

When is the 4th game coming out?

>>15908484

Somehow modern developers have forgotten that remakes should be the original game, but better.

>>15908484

Did you choose Chris or Jill?

>>15908502

I think part of the issue comes from not trying to appeal to both classic fans and newer ones, and instead making the game much more appealing to newer fans that are used to the more modern appeal since that's more where the money is. Also the trend towards clearing games to be remade that don't really need them to begin with, because there's easier money to do so for already popular ones than less popular games that don't hold up quite as well. Probably also depends a lot on the staff involved as well; losing key people that worked on the originals, who would (should?) know firsthand the strengths and weaknesses of the prior, doesn't help. It's unfortunate how most modern remakes handle, to the point there's good reason to automatically be leery upon hearing an announcement. You're lucky if a remake can even be on-par with the original these days, let alone surpass it.

Also a shame to hear about an actually really good remake, where the original game warranted it and the new version far and away the better, that will never be natively playable because the companies at hand didn't consider the market here big or interested enough.

I wish I knew. The the lead guy, Vergil, uploads videos on whatever they're working on every month or so.

>>15908803

Steampunk knight with the cursed polearm and the movement+ item is OP as fuck, I remember grinding the Robot and even after evolving him he was trash, also EVERY CENTAUR UNIT IS FUCKING GODAWFUL.

>>15908803

And xp received is determined by damage dealt so your useless characters are guaranteed to stay useless forever unless you go out of your way to babysit them and get the last hit on enemies.

Fun, memey but short.
