/v/ - MERRY CHRISTMAS

Always sleep on it before attempting perfect execution. It's scary how much it helps.

Better yet, don't bother so much with this inferior sequel.

Is the fact that you can't get S rank negatively affecting your opinion of the game?

Personally, I played it for fun, finished, increased the difficulty, played up to the Roller Mobster level, finished it and voluntarily quit because the rest is an unrewarding trek. I was satisfied at the end of it.

Rank grinding is always the shit that kills a game for me. Doing the same levels and encounters over and over wears thin quickly for me.

The way to get a perfect score is by carrying that combo through to the next stage you basic bitch nigger

and then the one after that

>have game with well defined criteria for best rank

>just don't drop combo and don't get downed

>game also has a pseudo endless mode that about 50 minutes of non-stop shit thrown at you with a fairly steep difficulty curve

>"Hey let's just try this, it'll be fun"

>>15907008

AAC kicks ass.

>>15907008

>Game is nice enough to give you the "S-rank or bust" mode, which auto-restarts the level if you failed to keep your combo.

Yes, Assault Androod Cactus is the game. Liquorice a cute

>>15907095

Apparently it used to be much much harder to perfect score it so they fixed it.

>>15907095

is it even possible to get a 10? highest ive got is a 7

>>15907008

>game is a top down twin stick shooter

>has a fully functional first person mode whether it's playable is another thing entirely

>game's artstyle has the robots all have ugly big heads

>game lets you shrink them down to normal size

Gotta say WitchBeam really knew what to do.

>>15906811

you can get an S rank, but your codename won't be the best one. It doesn't really matter I guess though.

>>15907095

>>15907126

I honestly just assumed it was random. So much of that game is a clustercuss that I figured Klaadum's Ladder was as meaningless as "Bullshit! Ultra-failed attack!" and "You killed a good and caring daddy!"

>>15907429

<Clustercuss

You need to be 18 to post here.

>Bullshit

Now I'm confused.

>>15906811

>>sneak through the enemy base, no alerts, no tranqs, no fultons, completed every objective

How’s that possible? I thought the game doesn’t count against time unless you kill people or get an alert.

>>15907448

WRONG

in MGSV the only requirement for rank is IRIS energy collected time, so you can drive through with a tank, obliterate anyone in your path, and leave with an S rank.

Codenames are worthless because obtaining them is basically "lol, do mission this way 3 times and fuck off"

https://www28.atwiki.jp/2chmgspw/pages/32.html Here is a detailed guide on obtaining all codenames in Peace Walker, each codename has 5 starts to it.

I guess TPP also has the perfect autism checkbox which gives you enough points to ignore time.

>>15907333

Codenames dont matter in MGSV, but S ranks unlock shit like MSG1 snake and raidens suit

90% of the time S tanking is a matter of patience to repeat same fucking thing until you get good rng. Being a completionist is a sure way to ruing gaming for yourself.

>>15907709

Did you also do all 60 secret missions?

How bad did mission 60 bully you?

>>15907771

Na the secret mission while neat are too much of a pain to keep track of, Maybe someday, but I already did the starter ones on DMD so fighting 2 despair embodied will already be on either Hard or Normal

>>15907764

Not sure if you are trying to bait because of the flag but RNG really does have a hand in every run. Nothing makes me more mad then getting shot from off screen and dying though.

>>15909386

You should really play Hotline Miami 2.

>>15906440

s ranking is for autists

1cc is for not fucking autists

>>15907709

Devil may cry at least had an interesting directional input melee system which made the game a lot more fun.

>>15909386

You made the right decision.

>>15909731

What a fucking faggot, I love autistic retards who tryhard when they stream.

>>15909707

I do think that People just don't know about how the directional combos work in DMC2, since the game has no move list, and no moves to buy like in DMC1 that teach you about inputs.

That doesn't excuse DMC2's other flaws but still, Dante, Luca, and Trish have plenty of cool things they can do, Like Trish can stab Sparda into the Ground and just go Barehanded, I wish you could still do that in DMC4SE.

>>15909763

I actually kind of dislike S ranks I mean they work for DMC since the S stands for Stylish. but now A means nothing anymore, Like what an A isn't good enough for anyone anymore?

>>15909781

The only problem I have with it is that it introduces this weird proto style system that DMC 3 sort of actually expounds on; the dedicated roll being a separate button from the jump, each button basically being its own style aside from jump, and no royal guard type is all kinda nauseating when I actually started to play, but the game is pretty fun for what it is. It's no devil may cry 1 but it did its best with being a half formed bastard sequel, and I'd still call it a better game than the reboot.

>>15909731

You can see his hopes and dreams fading out of him the moment the bat connects. Everything he had hyped up, everything that was set up for that, specific moment, shattered in an instant. Behold, a man defeated before he even got off the starting line. There is no more sad, yet sweeter, a sight.

>>15906771

I've got it but have yet to try it, how long is the game if you can only save 5 times?

>>15909833

>DMC3 couldn't happen without DMC2

I like the thought. In the same way, DmC caused DMC4SE and DMCV to spring into production, and DMC4SE gave us a glimpse into how much fun DMCV could possibly be, especially with a new character; I have low hopes for it either way, since it looks like the visual style that was retained from 3 to 4 has been lost, and it looks like every other unreal game; I hope for the best though.

>>15909745

It really feels like they didn't play their own game before releasing it since HM1 was so much more fair because the levels were smaller and there weren't millions of windows with guns behind them. Meanwhile even when holding shift to look as far ahead as you possibly can you still can't see some of those niggers with guns at the end of hallways behind a fucking window. Half of the levels with Pardo and Beard are just fucking bullshit in that game because there are enemies that you have to just shoot down a hallway and hope you hit them before a bullet comes out of the ether and kills you.

>>15909846

Itsuno is at his best when he has to fix other peoples messes.

While you can not be a fan of the more realistic art style, I get that, There is absolutely nothing to worry about when it comes to the gameplay.

For example V has a Shadow from DMC1 as one of his familiars, and the mother fucker can jump on the Spike is shoots out just like in DMC1.

I have no doubt DMC5 is going to be one of the best games to come out in the last 10 years.

>>15909873

>>15909936

Didn't the creators pretty much said that they didn't want to make the sequel? That could explain why the levels are so poor: they just didn't care. But that bears the question, If you they didn't what to work in HM2 why they did it anyways? It's not like they weren't alien with the concept of fucking with the fans, hell, HM1 constantly makes fun of the player for expecting any kind of resolution or point.

On top of that, the replay value of 2 it's fucked, you are always stuck playing the same levels with the same characters, there's no variety. It sucks, I actually liked the selection of music that 2 has in comparison with 1.

>>15907713

Didn't Blast Corps explicitly tell you what medal you got?

Regardless, that game was hard as fuck in some areas and getting platinum medals on every mission sounds nightmare inducing.

>>15909760

I thought he was funny

>>15909972

The already mentioned terrible post-launch bonus levels in the first game along with the second game having super basic shit like doors being completely broken, combos breaking for no reason and the level editor that took YEARS to finally release points more to them being incompetent than trying to fuck with you. I mean, Kojima really didn't want to make metal gear solid 2, and used it as an excuse to really fuck with people but it was still a good game. I personally think the "it was just an artsy prank bro!" thing was just an excuse to try to cover their tracks on how bad they fucked up.

I like when you get an overall rank for completing a playthrough. It takes far more skill than mindlessly grinding one level, and is a much more daunting and satisfying challenge. Ideally it should penalize saving, and be lenient enough that a high score isn't just about luck and memorization.

>>15907536

>"Bullshit! Ultra-failed attack!"

>It's not the RPG equivalent to a miss

how the fuck is it a weaker crit?

the sequel is whatever.

Hotline miami is a game you play for fun, not to tryhard perfect score on

>>15910279

>But the joke ranks are still completely random with no rhyme or reason, is what anon was saying

They are just there to have something silly pop up on the screen like "you killed a game censor". But I do like the idea that they did it to torture completionists, since the only one that does anything is the "killed a dead Jian's murderer" which spawns a dead Jian when you kill a Manduco.

>I also ended up assuming the ladder ranks were random just because it never seemed to coincide with how well I thought I'd done in a level

I mean, how many times have you tried to stealth a level with only backstabs and nukes?

>>15911149

Oh right and the Christmas achievements which require enemies that no longer exist.

>>15911160

I think they removed those achievements, actually. I don't think I've ever seen a game remove achievements before, but it seems EYE did it.

>>15909886

Your optimism is invigorating.

Danks mayne.

>>15907640

jesus this fucking stage
