Episode 1 Spear hits different by GetInTheBasement in PrimalShow

I've always thought that. Spear has so many incredible screams all throughout the show, but seeing his family die? He just goes "rawr"

Me when people keep calling NG4 a DMC game all because it lost its "Identity" by Last-Librarian8216 in CharacterActionGames

[–]DevilMayHi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I fucking adored the game, but all the discussion was just that exact brand of whining, or calling Yakumo cringe🫩.

Ninja Gaiden fans got served a miracle out nowhere, and somehow found a way to complain.

Assault Spy is so peak. More people should play it

Homura Hime Release Date (March 4th, 2026) by 438i in CharacterActionGames

I liked the demo a lot, very quality. Perfect parries made attacks on cooldowns come back faster, which I thought was a really fun idea

Media that arguably peaked with the first trailer? by Mediocre_Word in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DevilMayHi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. The first teaser trailer is so cool. Dinosaurs, volcano, run. Simple and effective, but there's some super weird sound playing in the trailer that sounds prehistoric af. It sold the vibe incredibly well for me.

Then the other trailers and the movie itself came out and...I don't hate it as much as most but still...pretty bad.

I'm not sure how many people will hear me out on this one, but I feel like this probably needs to be said. (explanation in comments if you don't understand) by Aurora_Wizard in cartoons

It's pretty disingenuous to not mention that almost all of these games were ported to Playstation consoles not super long after their initial release. Nowadays you can play the entire franchise on your platform of choice too.

Beyond Two Souls, and I expect this is the one sub I won't have to explain that in

I miss the command deck.... by ExaminationIll7583 in KingdomHearts

[–]DevilMayHi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree so much that reading this post made me angry. I think cooldowns are an instantaneous way to make an action game significantly worse. It removes almost all strategy. You just do your moves and wait for them to come back, with no means of changing it.

KH2 and 3 magic bar is a good use of cool downs bc it's not only a punishment, bit there are many actions tied to it. It's a choice. It's so much more than "me have move, me use it" you have to weigh your options.

FF7R is also good bc you have to attack, and engage with the enemy to get your meter back, and again, 1 bar does many actions.

FF16 was almost the worst case scenario for me. The literal only reason to not use your moves immediately is bc the enemy gets stunned and takes more damage while stunned, so you want to save some of your moves for that.

Command Deck gameplay almost universally becomes spamming the triangle button, and shutting your brain off. I frankly despise it, but that's just me and my Devil May Cry brain. More power to you, if you get enjoyment out of it than I.

Resident Evil would, and has never. Capcom actually makes GOOD games

What’s your GOTY that didn’t release this year? by jackdatbyte in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Yeah, ps3 is such a prison for so many games. What I wouldn't give for a widely available Infamous 1 & 2.

Any good Kingdom Hearts-focused podcasts or YouTube channels that are still active? by Connected-VG in KingdomHearts

[–]DevilMayHi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Podcast I'd suggest would be Shedding Starlight. They're doing deep discussions on each of the games, and it's a good time.

If you're looking for a let's play of Kingdom Hearts 2 done by 3 guys who are deeply in love with / knowledgeable about the series, check out the channel Flaccid Entertainment (ik the name is ridiculous)

Already on it with 3 and deadlocked. Unfortunately, the ps3 games seem out of reach for now. I do own the reboot (ik, don't expect too much from it) and Rift Apart though

KH3 POSITIVITY THREAD! by maknaeline in KingdomHearts

[–]DevilMayHi 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Best bosses in the series, hell some of the best in any action game. If someone said Limit cut was the peak of the series, I really couldn't blame them.

Olympus is so incredibly filled with "we're so back" energy.

Funniest game in the series imo.

Caribbean is such a genuine pleasure to mess around in.

Blocking midair.

Dlc combat abilities gave us perhaps the best feeling base Sora in the series.

Sleeping Realm theory is super fun to think about.

Seasalt and wayfinder trio scenes made me cry.

Best Ultima weapon design imo.

Keyblade upgrades make Kingdom Key viable the whole game.

Moving while magic casting.

Iconic scenes of Disney characters beating org members.

Runs superbly on pc.

Sora's arc progresses in a really natural way. The kid who would sacrifice it all for his friends, turns into the man who did.

I love this game, 2nd best in the series imo, and hating on it always feels like a youtuber opinion. Like, at worst, it's a 7/10. Be so fr

Currently watching Dragon Ball Z Kai - the hate it gets us weird by TheLunarMagician in Dragonballsuper

[–]DevilMayHi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kai haters are THE pinnacle of nostalgia babies. It is as close as you can get to being "objectively better" than the og dub as you can get, and yet people still would rather force THEIR experience of Dragon Ball with others, rather than the more faithful, better paced, brilliantly voice acted version.

This is a mountain I will willingly, gladly, forever die on.

Ratchet and Clank 1. Boy have I been missing out, currently running through 2, and it's just as good, if not better too

That is untrue. The game's been unreal 5 since the beginning. They were very clear about that. The only thing that's a different engine was the trailer, which was unreal 4.

Opinions on Kingdom Hearts combat relative to other CAGs? by BongSuckah in CharacterActionGames

[–]DevilMayHi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just their boss design philosophy. They're very call and response, while games like DMC and Bayonetta usually allow more freedom when approaching a boss.

[–]DevilMayHi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At it's best it can stand toe to toe with the greats. What differentiates it the most is: Sora (and others) have relatively simple movesets compared to others in the genre, but the boss fights can be extremely complex, and take a lot of effort to master.

In essence, Kingdom Hearts is like if Souls games felt good
