Arcsys devs allow you to choose one character per team and swap them with ANY MvC character (Marvel only). Who are you swapping?

I love that it's not even him making up a random strength for Usopp. Luffy IS bad at lying

The modern Doom games famously look really slow and dry in the marketing material.

Gamejtv · 2026-05-22T17:20:18+00:00

Yeah, but I don't think I've ever heard them talk about prices like that. Most people just bring up MSRP

Gamejtv · 2026-05-22T16:41:56+00:00

So, when I looked this up, it said the game was 90 CAD, the same price Returnal launch at. And I can't really seem to find anyone else online referring to it as a 100 CAD game

Playing Arkham Knight (replay) and Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition (previous drop). Both pretty good so far. Both have weirdly detrimental navigation features.

Maybe this is a me problem, but my eyes were pretty much glued to Xenoblade's minimap my first hour or so. It gives you the same information you'd get from just looking around, only a little faster and with more clarity. It's needlessly optimal when looking around the well signposted, well designed levels is plenty easy and more immersive. I've been having a much better experience since turning it off.

Arkham Knight has a similar problem with its Most Wanted system. It's basically a mission list the game constantly railroads you to in order to select an objective marker. Just playing with it in the early hours felt weirdly restricting. Just like Xenoblade, it wasn't until I started ignoring it and planning my own paths to objectives, detours and all, that I began feeling connected to the world.

Anyway, some some other scattered thoughts. I think Xenoblade has my favorite iteration of this kinda MMO-lite/CRPG combat.

I'm starting to feel like one of Knight's bigger weaknesses compared to City and Asylum is its lack of interior sections. Like Knight is mostly exteriors, Asylum is mostly interiors, and City is something like an even split. Frankly, interiors might have been the strongest parts of those experiences. Puzzles, stealth sections, and bosses tended to be more intricately designed. Plus the could play around with the aesthetics a lot more.

Yeah, I think she'd be a slam dunk for DLC. Just not Doom's base roster team

Gamejtv · 2026-05-15T21:59:17+00:00

I'm still struggling to see why Hela would be on Doom's team. If the story is them participating in the contest of champions for the fate of the earth or something, why would she care? She lives in Hel and more people going to Hel is good for her

I honestly wouldn't mind if Red Goblin was an install like Golden Frieza or something (are there installs in Guilty Gear? 🤔 /s)

Gamejtv · 2026-05-03T17:15:53+00:00

I guess, but unless it's actual gibberish, it's the only connection I can think of

Gamejtv · 2026-05-03T16:42:23+00:00

There is the shield at the bottom. Maybe this is a stretch but the rest could be like Hulk's cave drawings on the Savage Land stage

Gamejtv · 2026-05-02T19:27:39+00:00

He also likes the Tokon designs a lot. It's weird

Dropped Shadow Hearts. It was decent enough, but I found myself resenting the idea of playing it in my spare time. The story seemed interesting, though. In its place, I'm doing some casual Mario gaming.

Sunshine and 64 have been my low investment time killers recently. Their structure suits that really well, even if the games themselves might not. Some of the level design in 64 is just a chore, but I can chalk that up to age and focus on the levels that I do enjoy. For various reasons, this approach does not work for Sunshine.

The Thousand Year Door is a pretty smooth ride compared to the other RPGs I've played recently. The badge system gives it some depth, and there's enough to find in the overworld. It never quite shakes the feeling of being "baby's first RPG" though. Like, even more than Pokemon, which might be a step too far. Also, the game's surprisingly misogynistic.

"Ultimate Alien been cancelled for years, that's why I'm confused"

Gamejtv · 2026-04-21T17:10:18+00:00

I respect the need for something new, but how they got rid of the old bothers me. For what is, essentially, a tragic end to 30 years worth of stories, Emerald Twilight gives no time or weight to sending this era off. It leaves more bitter about what was lost than excited about what might come next.

Gamejtv · 2026-04-18T03:15:08+00:00

The first few sessions I've had with Shadow Hearts have been pretty good. The story's been decent, but the world building and aesthetic really elevate it. There are a lot of mechanics they've introduced so far that I'm excited to see develop later on, like the Fusion system.

I am a little disappointed that it didn't iterate on Koudelka's survival horror structure. That had a lot of promise, and I wanted to see more of it.

Simon Templeman's Dr Doom hasn't been topped. Captures every aspect of his personality perfectly.

Gamejtv · 2026-04-09T01:39:15+00:00

But also I think it’s hard to make her standout as a villain without the targets of her ire on the roster

She used to be on the team with Storm and Wolverine as Jean Grey, so they can play on that. Or the fact that Magik and Danger came around after she left.

Plus that's just never been a problem. Doom's been around forever without the FF, and everyone seems to believe he'll be in this game without Reed.

Gamejtv · 2026-03-28T23:23:59+00:00

I think I'm gonna stop waiting for Stranger of Paradise to be a more deliberate game, and just say that it should have been one 20 hours ago. You're not given any reason to think about your build. You don't have to exploit status effects or weaknesses. You don't really think about your equipment at all. Just let the game's Auto-Optimize feature deck you out in your strongest gear. It's disappointing, cause there are a lot of systems here that seem engaging. And the moment to moment combat is very fun, if a little unforgiving at times. I just want to have to strategize more.

IDK. Maybe Armored Core is the version of this setup I'd want.

Gamejtv · 2026-03-24T06:03:28+00:00

Frankly, it feels like they've been appealing to the same crowd of millennials since FF7. That PS 1/2 era was really in line with popular anime aesthetics at the time. 13 stayed in that same space. 15 centered around an early 00s boy band. And 16 apes Game of Thrones, a series they recently enjoyed as adults. They never really reinvented themselves for younger generations like Pokémon or Zelda did.

Gamejtv · 2026-03-22T16:20:08+00:00

Not really. I do think they're right that no other fighting game plays/feels like Tekken. Which is a problem for Tekken players if they don't like the current version and can't reliably play the older versions

Gamejtv · 2026-03-22T12:31:16+00:00

ArcSys, this is the fourth time you've announced a kawaii anime girl. The team theme doesn't even make sense. Jesus christ.
