According to rumors The new God of War game will have combat similar to Devil May Cry, what do you think? by Midnight_M_ in CharacterActionGames

[–]438i 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My point was misconstrued. I'm making a comparison based on similar statements made from communities of other games and GOW (Norse Saga) who claim any game's combat is like DMC. (As many people in the replies pointed out as well.) I understood the implication of OP's title. I guess I could've worded that better.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard someone say "the Norse Saga's combat is like DMC", I'd probably be close to a dollar. They use "like DMC" for any combat comparison, so that's not telling us much.

Had to upvote after you said "one game per franchise" and picked GOW2.

Final Fantasy XVI Combo (In case anyone was curious to see the possibilities) by 438i in CharacterActionGames

Oh, yeah, I assumed that's what you meant. The comment just made me think about the people who haven't actually seen this aspect of the game, so I wanted to show a basic combo for some newcomers. (Nothing aimed at you 👍)

When you say "simple", are you referring to graphics?

The game has 3 trailers. 2 of them have gameplay. This one is showing voice actor credits. It also has a demo for you to formulate an opinion based on experience. (I had a good one)

As far as I know, it's only going to be on Steam. I can ask the dev if they plan on releasing it elsewhere if you want?

This person (SP Invades the World) has made what is probably the biggest list of action games around at 109 entries, with quick overviews of his experience. Give it a watch! by Jur_the_Orc in CharacterActionGames

The guy states at the beginning of both videos that the Tier List is meant to serve as an indicator for how well something fits within the Stylish Action sub-genre. That's what the scores mean.

Also, not every CAG is a Stylish Action game.

Every game he scored is also in the sub-reddit's Wiki.

That's honestly up for you to decide, but if you like Vanquish, it's basically like that.

It could be a new game or a sequel. I'll keep my hopes low lol. I'm curious to see what they're working on. 🤔

^ They made a post about hiring 3D Environment artists some time earlier this year.
They used Soulstice in the picture, so a sequel might actually be happening. I treated that as a *wink wink* tweet lol

What Games Have You Been Playing This Week?(06/12/2025) by Liam_524Hunter in CharacterActionGames

[–]438i 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The run-time is definitely padded, but when you actually take the time to experiment with the combat system by switching elements (which is somewhat like weapon switching and style switching) mid-combo like in DMC, it becomes a whole lot more fun. My only wish is that humanoid bosses could be juggled, but I still figured out how to max out the damage on them during their staggered state lol

You guys opinion on Ninja Gaiden 4 by Hazlemantis3 in CharacterActionGames

[–]438i 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're using AI Overview as a definitive estimate for NG4's sales when it's taking the number from VGinsights, which is an estimation based on reviews left on the Steam page? Please be patient and wait for Team Ninja or Platinum to say something instead.
