A Hat in Time was quite a wonderful experience, really felt like an early 00s game but just with better graphics and smoother controls.

I can't imagine anyone calling Nioh excellent

It was OK I guess

Hat Kid (A Hat in Time) and 2B (Nier: Automata) had the most iconic designs I seen in a long time. Game protagonists lately have gotten pretty samey and generic.

Why did they turn hat girl into a nigger?

Rimworld

Kenshi

Rimjobworld for Rimworld

Insurgency and Insurgency: Sandstorm

Furi is still my game of the year and has been for the last two years

Skyrim™ for the Nintendo Switch™

>>15983795

neither did, play monster boy and kero blaster instead

>>15983780

No, only her co-op partner.

>>15983837

so she's a homosexual dating a nigger?

>>15983840

Because it's made by Pixel and Furi is fucking garbage. If you know shit about games you'd know it's an homage to the MSX2 color palette and is far more video gamey than retard techno and walking simulator furi with its qte tier boss battles.

>>15983850

I wouldn't know, Hat Kid doesn't seem to like anyone in that way.

>>15983861

its still pixel shit, one drop rule.

>>15983883

>>15983885

>>15983831

Bow Kid was added in the Co-Op DLC on September 13, 2018. Meaning that if you don't like niggers or co-op, just don't get the DLC and play the game's base content without her.

Also, I can confirm. Shädman has done no Bow Kid art.

Hat Kid wasn't so lucky though…

>>15983814

>>15983831

Likely because half the dialog refers to "little girl" in voiced dialog. Making the other player a girl skips having to change that.

>>15983725

>>15983897

said the soyboy that plays pixelshit

>>15983938

fuck you, she looks like a frog

>>15983932

Nioh is far too grindy and lacks enemy variety. Also very bland and forgettable art direction. All that stops it being an "excellent" game for me.

>>15983964

>Pixel's Hit

>If a games has a style that I don't like that it's shit.

>>15983932

You can block everything from any direction using any weapons and outlast your opponent's stamina in Nioh, I think you didn't play it, for many weapons it's less costly to block than attack.

A Hat in Time had such inconsistent, toddler-style art and unrefined elements that it was too amateur to be taken seriously. Despite some positive elements, it wasn't a good game and there's a reason it wasn't popular.

Just popped in to state the facts.

>>15984771

>Kobold Island but with boy and girl tcon mod

Was anyone else impressed with Kingdom Come? It could have used some polishing, but I think they were spot on as to how an action rpg should be made.

>>15984820

I'm playing it and yeah it's pretty good. One big issue with it though is the game makes a major point about Henry being a shitty untrained fighter and tells you to practice your skills if you want to live, but the main quest rushes you pretty fucking fast into situations where you have to fight bandits and shit before you get a chance to fuck off and go train for a bit.

>>15984937

The fuck hat in time way bloated and empty. Got more yarn for "hats" than you needed. The roaming seller was easily maxed part way through. The game was half finished at best on release. Not to mention any of the glitchy mechanics. It was comfy but hollow. 4/10

>>15984970

Not to mention the platforming was near effortless, all the levels were cluttered as shit, and the writing/voice acting was tumblr tier.

>>15983814

>It's a large heavy book, titled 'Proof of Consumption Under Communism'

>The pages are all blank.

>>15985001

I'm making a platformer with a cute girl protagonist and I want to make a clapback joke in response to this capitalism thing.

What I have written:

"It's a big book called 'Countries That Have Prospered Under Communism'. The pages are all blank…. oh wait. The first page has a few crossed out names with 'NOT COMMUNISM' scrawled next to them."

>>15985034

There are people who say communism is bad but socialism is good, and as usual they mention the Nordic economy model.

>>15985001

Tetradev is unironically the most pathetic cuck on this entire site, imagine actually throwing away hundreds of hours of work because you got triggered by someone else having an anime robot girl in an action game.

I would have spent money on your game if you weren't so fucking pathetic to cancel it you absolute retard.

>>15983804

furi maybe, but hollow knight is excellent and you're a faggot

>>15983814

>black

>overdesigned clothing

>gender-fluid non-binary looking that could pass as boy or girl

>communist lefty developers

Remember to pirate.

>>15987065

Axiom Verge will NEVER be a cult classic when there are far superior games. A Hat in Time is better than Banjo, for example, so playing it over Banjo even though Banjo is a classic itself, might make the game into a classic.

If you want a good time, you can simply play Super Metroid instead of Axiom Verge, that it's actually hard to navigate and a chore to finish.

>>15987070

>A Hat in Time is better than Banjo

wrong

>>15985068

No jokes, I enjoyed Hat In Time so much I was tempted to buy it.

But yeah, after that part I made a point not to: if you don't like capitalism then they are fine with me enjoying something they made for free.

It's not even a "jab" at them, if they are serious about it they should be pleased with me playing their game, like so many other creators that distribute their games freely.

>>15985101

isn't that how it always is? totally not triggered people getting ass blasted over a one liner?

If Nioh didn't have the retarded MMO numbers gear system I'd be inclined to agree with you, age of decadence is underrated.

Into the trash it goes.

>>15987906

I'll tell you every time, kill yourself haremfag

>>15983840

Furi is a nice game, but I thought the art design was honestly pretty generic.

Hollow Knight's is pretty okay, but it hides a lot of it's art behind heavy shadows. And a lot of anons complain about the flash asthetic but I didn't really care.

>>15983883

Not everything with pixelart is pixelshit you retard.

There's only one way to know: can you cancel attack animations to dodge? Or is it more artificial difficulty for millennials.

>>15988066

>can you cancel attack animations to dodge? Or is it more artificial difficulty for millennials

>committing to actions is artificial difficulty

Why the fuck should you be able to immediately cancel out of any action at any time? What makes committing to attacks artificial difficulty? Is Simon's fixed jump arc in Castlevania artificial difficulty?

>>15987905

I'm interested in Overload, but I'm not buying any more games until I have an income and clear out more of my backlog.

>>15988092

>Why the fuck should you be able to immediately cancel out of any action at any time?

Because I'm not a cuck like you. When a game doesn't work like it should, I don't give a fuck if my schoolmates play it for nerd cred. I used to beat arcade games with one coin, so I'm not insecure about my ability to let artificial difficulty walk all over me.

>committing to attacks

I'm gonna laugh forever

>>15988092

>Is Simon's fixed jump arc in Castlevania artificial difficulty?

Physics =/= Arbitrary Attack Constraint

>>15983932

>took Dark Souls

>removed shields and forced the player to dodge

>unlike Bloodborne your actions and framerate are fluid enough to allow dodging

Pleb taste. That was exactly the opposite of what I wanted to see from an evolution of dark souls. I want slower, chunkier fights and the removal of i-frames entirely.

If you want to avoid an attack you have to actually get the fuck out of the way instead of just pressing your magic invincibility button that lets you phase through the world.

>>15988131

>Because I'm not a cuck like you. When a game doesn't work like it should, I don't give a fuck if my schoolmates play it for nerd cred. I used to beat arcade games with one coin, so I'm not insecure about my ability to let artificial difficulty walk all over me

??????????????????????

What has honor to do with any of this? I'll ask again: why the hell should every action in combat ever be cancelable?

>>15988140

Physics have zero to do with this. When you jump forwards in Castlevania, you will always jump forwards a fixed distance and you cannot cancel out of it, nor can you change your trajectory mid-flight, nor can you change your speed mid-flight. You cannot alter the jump trajectory once it is in motion, as opposed to pretty much most platformers which give you some mid-air control, so it could be argued that the Castlevania jump is a layer of arbitrary difficulty. Which to me sounds very similar to how attacks in Dark Souls similarly cannot be canceled out of and require commitment.

>>15988131

>Because I'm not a cuck like you. When a game doesn't work like it should

>you should always get second chances in video games

>hurr arcade one-coin

<probably because I exploited flaws in the game to survive as the rest of your comment seems to suggest

git fucking gud, if dark souls wipes its ass with your face, it's because you can't make a decision in time to face the repercussions of that decision.

>>15988166

>Pleb taste. That was exactly the opposite of what I wanted to see from an evolution of dark souls. I want slower, chunkier fights and the removal of i-frames entirely.

It's one of those situations where it's hard for people in current times to really "get" it, but slower, more deliberate combat, with noticeably heavy armor and some level of in-built clunkiness was a draw for the subgenre originally. Look at the Demon's Souls opening cinematic and compare it to Devil May Cry or something. I think the fast-rolling meta, which probably stemmed mostly from the Souls PVP scene, was more harmful than beneficial to Souls PVE. It was meant to be there for rogue specs, and slow roll should have continued to have a place at the table.

>>15987176

What position is that?

>>15988224

Pretty much, I went through DaS1 without rolling at all while Das2 felt like I was "forced" to roll. Keep in mind that this was for a first playthrough

I liked A Hat in Time a lot. I don't know I'd call it excellent, but it was everything it needed to be, and a little more. It captured the feel of those 5th and 6th gen platformers, with enough originality and tweaks to the formula, that it didn't just feel like a total rehash. I think that's all anyone really wanted out of games like Yooka Laylee.

>>15988254

>In reality, you are stubbornly denying the obvious and basic notion that people are not robots who have to play out a full sequence of actions before stopping. Do you play a robot in Dark Souls?

FUCKING

JEJ

You are a COMPLETE cuck and have obviously never playfully or competitively fought with any sort of melee weapons in your entire shitty life. 1v1 me with one single (foam) longsword for each of us and I will have your hamstrings cut before you can realize what's going on. Melee comba in every discipline is entirely based around how quickly you can read a situation and commit to your actions, because every moving object with mass has inertia both to begin and end its motion. You think you can slash a sword in your right hand from your right to your left without leaving the side of your body completely vulnerable for a long enough period for me to complete a thrust? In a real battle, you would find yourself with a pierced lung very quickly.

>>15983814

Those tribal tattoos look awful, but otherwise that's a better design.

I don't even mind the kid being black. It makes for a contrasting colour palette, at least, but Bow Kid is a real over-designed mess of a character, that doesn't fit the spirit of the game, and makes me wonder if their original artist dropped out.

>>15983466

>hat in time

I'd have a really hard time saying it's "excellent". It has the bones of a good 3d platformer, but overall its not that amazing. They need to 1. make better use of the time theme in the games mechanics and story; 2. have a few more more levels outright; 3. improve the 3d character models and level geometry and 4. write a good overarching plot that actually makes use of their characters.

The game had a lot of development problems and there was tons of cut content. It's great that it released in the shape that it did, but I hope they can really smash it if they make a sequel.

>>15988285

this hurt to read

>>15988329

Either nice ID hopping or you also have never actually practiced martial arts.

>>15988254

>In reality, you are stubbornly denying the obvious and basic notion that people are not robots who have to play out a full sequence of actions before stopping

What has canceling to do with attack animation length and chains of attacks with their own associated animations playing out? Is your gripe that all attacks should be instantaneous?

Being asked to commit your attacks is being asked to read the enemy's attacks in advance rather than reacting in a split-second. It encourages thinking few seconds ahead rather than thinking in the moment. The stamina gauge in Dark Souls is an extension of that, your actions have costs which can impact how a fight plays out in the medium term if you carelessly spam attacks and end up getting tired, as opposed to games without commitment where being able to cancel out of any action means that quick reflexes will domineer tactical thinking.

I don't think any approach is particularly worse than the other. The universal dodge canceling in Bayonetta gave the game a more rushdown playstyle where enemy attacks are mere bumps in the road, as opposed to DMC and God Hand where because of your lack of an universal dodge you had to be more careful with how long you should extend your combo and pay attention to enemies when you should back off to defend again. There's also a great feeling of satisfaction with an attack which requires a great amount of commitment, as being unable to cancel out of it makes it feel less floaty, and being able to exploit the right window of opportunity to deliver a well-timed strike makes the act of landing a hit innately more satisfying regardless of audiovisual impact, like the Arc of Deliverance in Dragon's Dogma, while with cancel-heavy games it feels more like performing an improvisational dance.

>The only apt comparison would have been with Simon's whip, which is the actual attack

Whether it is an attack or not is irrelevant. The core of the argument is commitment to actions in general. I don't think you mean to tell that only attacks should only ever be cancelable but all other forms of movement actions shouldn't.

>>15983814

Why does hat loli look so bad in-game?

>>15988117

The anti-shield fags are some of the more annoying cunts in the Souls fanbase. They complain when people don't want to conform to their arbitrary way of playing while calling it the only "correct way" to play. It's all bullshit. They actually want less options open to players in a fucking RPG. Just laugh at them for being so retarded. Their ideal Souls game is a completely different genre.

>>15989272

To be honest, Nioh does end up feeling a lot faster than Dark Souls and it makes for an interesting experience since the combat is mostly about reflexes and quick thinking to an higher degree.

It also does that a lot better than Dark Souls where it's an endless cycle of studying attack patterns to parry and execute or dodging and hoping it's the right variant of the attack that let's you punish your enemy.

I tried playing a dex fag in both Bloodborne and Dark Souls and found the whole ordeal very much no fun allowed, lot's of studying and learning, only to throw it all away the second a new enemy is shown.

Nioh instead is closer to Hotline Miami, with faster fights to help relieve the frustration from frequent deaths and far more pro-active combat.

That said, I'm currently re-playing Dark Souls but with a shield-fag and it's been amazing so great. It's fucking awesome to put down my shield and be immortal, taking a single swing after blocking.

It's quite the experience and far more fun that dex-fagging the game.

It's quite an old game already. It proves that nowadays "diehard" fans can make better game than cucked creator.

It and Ultimate General make me want to make my own dream game actually.

>>15994385

It just felt weird not having anyone to talk to while I was still hyped about the game. Stuff like The robot guards and living deity gave me strong urges to discuss but I guess there wasn't much hype for it.

It needs a better name though. Something like "Four Swords", that instantly clues you in on what you're getting.

Disagree with Hat in Time. The game felt empty and short. Doesn't hold a candle to the classics like Spyro and Banjo.It's on par with the platformers like Ty the Tasmanian Tiger.

You seem to be blessed to have never played Boringlands, then, as that defines artificial difficulty.

I hate how the camera locks itself into the ground whenever you get near a building in a hat in time. Especially with how big and open the levels are, it's retarded to not let you look around. Don't think I could stomach playing the game with the camera like that.
