🎶 Assassin's Creed is a good franchise 🎶

Yeah, I thought this was dope.

We don't have enough good Kaiju games, IMO. Inaba robbed us of Project G.G. or Kamiya messed up, IDK. But they need to work it out and finish that project at some point.

Maybe Clovers can buy the IP if Okami 2 is a hit, who knows. I doubt Platinum would mind.

Having to grovel to lower the difficulty in God Hand.

TIL Fire Emblem has a musou game. I thought it's all turn-based strategy/RPG.

I've been bouncing among Batsugun, Assault Spy, and Soulstice. Fun time all around.

I hesitated before picking up Assault Spy and Soulstice, but ultimately I decided there are very few action games on Steam and I wanna support as many as possible so I don't feel guilty when they stop making them.

For Batsugun, the sale was too deep to not pick it up even if I don't enjoy it as much as other shmups. It's fun but feels too basic compared to what came after it. I'm still trying for the 1CC though.

I main Zato/Eddie and have for years (since Guilty Gear Accent Core Plus R)

I picked Zato-1 because he and his combos look sick. FG characters can be difficult to learn and take some time: if you don't like what you're looking at during these long practice hours, you'll likely give up quicker.

That said, you don't have to pick a main at all. A lot of people play multiple characters.

If you wanna play online, you'll have to play on PC, I think. I know in -STRIVE- PC has crossplay with PlayStation, but I'm not sure about the Switch.

Right, and for their next trick they're gonna break the all-time sales record with GTA6 because no one gives a fuck and evil is just OK now.

I just found out about this now. Dragon Blaze has been on my wishlist forever. No sale before delisting though… I suspect it's a legal thing.

Sad, but I'll wait for the comeback.

I wish they start supporting regional pricing and more currencies.

I can confirm: I grew up playing Ninja Gaiden and now I have a lot of i-frames whenever I jump forward. It's wild, I know.

There was a shootout in my neighborhood the other day and I jumped through it, didn't care.

"Making games with AI" sounds like hell… like this is what hell must be.

Sitting there prompting AI, getting shitty ass results, prompting it again and again until you eventually settle for slightly less shitty results. The frustration and the loss of agency… oh God, someone should make a psychological horror about this: a frustrated artist forced to ditch their skills and tools and use AI to bring their unique vision to life, and throughout the film you watch them descend deeper and deeper into madness and depression until they burn down a data center and laugh manically as it disintegrates around them.

Bruh, I still haven't bought the first game because I don't wanna give money to Microsoft… now I won't buy the sequel because I don't wanna give money to Krafton. Madness.

See, this is why I think the comparison doesn't work. They may be called UTs and function the same as they do in NGB, but enemies behavior is different. If my only strategy is UT spamming regardless of context, I'll get my teeth kicked in because enemies are too aggressive, volatile, and while they're not as tanky as they are in NGB, they attack in larger numbers.

Timing is also key if I aim to use essence to instant charge UTs/OL UT. I windrun at the wrong time, and enemies will hunt me down because their tracking is also ridiculous, never mind suicide runs.

All that space between UTs is not exactly a walk in the park and there's so much to be aware of and get right before you can reliably pull them off to the extent that undermines difficulty in a game where one mistake can easily snowball into a good chunk of your health gone.
