I agree that I can't talk about genres I'm not familiar with, like platformers and action games

Kudos for acknowledging it.

I cannot really think of any indie action game that came close to Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden II, God Hand… etc.

That said, I've seen a lot of people claim Hollow Knight is better than Castlevania: SotN, so it's definitely genre-dependent.

Speedrun mode in Furi auto skips walking segments.

Director is a wannabe film director and sighted Steven Spielberg's Duel as the main inspiration too.

What's with the cynicism? Game is a boss gauntlet, what do you mean "get away" like they're some AAA developers getting away with a lazy design choice? You can enable auto walking in those segments and go refill your water or something, but that was a creative choice, not a "let's cut corners—they won't even notice" choice.

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R. Game been out for 13 years—good luck climbing any kind of ladder as a newbie.

I keep whining about the lack of new, adventurous action games and dead PS2 franchises, so I figured I put my money where my mouth is and buy Gungrave G.O.R.E.

I love OG Gungrave (wish they port it to Steam)—Overdose not so much because I found it too obtuse in terms of level design and controls.

I'm also looking at Spirit X Strike. It's too reactive for my taste, so I haven't decided yet, but I want to support the developer.

Maybe I'll grab Zone of the Enders 2 as well? I don't remember how much I liked it, gotta revisit the PS2 game first.

This is the only RPG I beat twice.

Windblown from Motion Twin (Dead Cells devs)

No couch co-op though, in case this is what you're looking for.

I wish they port OG NGII to Steam. Goddamn, that game is awesome.

Been mid for a few years now, in my experience. Most of the games I bought over the past two years I did outside of the Summer sale because most discounts are all the same anyway.

I've been eyeing Okami and it was 50% last week and it's 50% again now.

I pulled the trigger on The Wonderful 101 in March at 55% and I was worried I'll regret it in the Summer sale… it's 55% again.

Been also eyeing Lost Judgment… 70% in March and 70% again now.

I never understood why they didn't have a mode where you could have multiple players controlling different team members.

Older PES games had that and it was super fun before Konami's pachinko machine addiction lead to the franchise's gradual demise.

Rematch is exclusively multiplayer, yes.

Agree with PES being a really good football simulation. I always viewed FIFA as a cynical and jaded attempt at arcadifying football—never really been my cup of tea.

I can't be bothered with the camera management in Rematch. It sucks so bad the game literally tells you get used to no look passing/shooting because you won't have time to adjust your camera. Even when I kinda got used to it and got to score a few goals, I didn't feel any satisfaction—it felt too silly.

It suuuucks as a football game. Controls like ass.

Someone bring back PES or cook up a replacement, please. I'm tired of these shitty football games.

SMTV selling +2m is big.

I would've loved to see P4AU numbers after the botched PC port. I bet it still sold OK.

This take sucks. There's a clear cap on what indies can do because they have a limited budget. Whatever their output is, it's not comparable to big studios output.

What the market lacks is quirky games on a medium budget, which's not what indie scenes provide.

Happens with any industry that gets big, I think. More profits=more suits/vampires coming in and replacing artists/scientists or whoever is more qualified to make key decisions.

This won't stop unless infinite wealth hoarding is tackled by governments, if ever.

Sure, but look at the PS2 catalog, for example—way more weird games with relatively high production for the time.

Daaaamn, DMC on GOG? Let's go Capcom!!! Love seeing more action games on there.

i already own Bayonetta and The Wonderful 101 on Steam, but I wouldn't mind double dipping if Platinum/SEGA follow suit.

Hmm… metroidvanias never really stick the landing for me, but I had fun playing through SotN back in the day, and I'll shout out a couple of modern ones with fun combat: F.I.S.T: Forged in Shadow Torch and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

I never posted anything from my PoP gameplay, but this is a clip showcasing on-the-fly weapon switching in F.I.S.T: https://video.hardlimit.com/videos/watch/9ba87a0a-ae01-4931-8d74-58e38dddb621

Fun fact: I never ever even heard the name Toshiro Mifune.

I just can't… why do people wear ignorance as a badge of honor nowadays?
