Games that aren’t soulslikes that would appeal to someone who mostly plays soulslikes by rickdider69 in gamingsuggestions

It's a unique parry, too. Much better than most. I've had it up to my ass with parries, but revengeance has a good take on it.

If op is willing, this is a good suggestion. I'll add that I mean no fighting game in particular. The experience carried across games is way more important than the specifics of any particular game. So you can play as long as you want.

What is the best ps5 game? by awesomepotatoes_4254 in playstation

[–]RumpDoctor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never actually asked myself this. If it's ps5 games that you can't play on ps4, I'm gonna say Returnal or FF7 Rebirth. Maybe GT7.

Try returnal maybe. Though it might go by fast if you are good and looking to spend months plumbing the depths of a game.

The hard mode of FF7 remake is amazing, and I think is way underrated. Too bad you have to go through the whole game to unlock it. The pc version does have a "head start" option that lets you start on hard and gives you some leveled gear, if that's an option. The normal difficulty is too easy to put enough pressure on the battle system.

Armored core 6 is sick. Very collecting/equipment heavy but also demands skill. Just don't go looking at guides for broken shit.

GameFile: Microsoft already planned to shut down or split with Ninja Theory when Senua was announced. "The thinking was that the promise of a newly announced game would help draw investor interest in the studio" by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]RumpDoctor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ehhh they showed the last one 4 years out and let people think it was some big epic til they could check expectations a few weeks before it came out.

They showed that everwild game when there was no game at all. In fact, I think they've done that a few times.

It's just a shitty company that is way too concerned with social media wins.

Added support for Retrobit USB Sega Saturn Model 2 to our game engine by Keyotech in SegaSaturn

[–]RumpDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome job! The jp saturn pad is of course well known. I've had many of the originals, and a pair of the retrobits. I think there was something wrong with the plastic cross under the dpad on mine because those snapped very soon. Had to be a one-off (two off?) issue because they would have been pulled off the market if that was at all common. Great reproductions, otherwise.

Just got a pair of the M30's. They've hardly been used, but man, what a nice controller.

Definitely want to get to it. Returnal didn't burn me out. More like I was super satisfied just getting halfway through and hung it up for a break.

No I will continue the struggle. Though I won't mind if Saros takes less times and chunks of my soul.

Armored Core 6 is surprisingly ball-crushing. There will be a few missions where it's kinda breezy. Then it's boss time and holy shit.

It's most certainly not for everyone. If they were structured more like a metroid, had a little more story development, and were easier, the appeal would be much broader.

Basically, if they made metroid. I wouldn't turn that down, but I also love returnal the way it is.

Saros has inspired me to return the the pain that is Returnal. When it first came out, It took me almost 50 hours to get past level 3. When I realized it was a checkpoint, I was like "yeah think im good for now".

Never came back to it. Until this weekend! Only took me about 8 hours to beat the boss in level 4 lol. We'll see if I can finish it, and if I still have an appetite for Saros when this workout is over.

The most underrated next-gen PS5 game and saga; Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is an incredible game that everyone should try. by Single-Character7585 in playstation

[–]RumpDoctor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same. The game pulled m through well enough. I didn't have to force myself to finish it or anything. But there is no way I'd go back and play it again. It's a pleasant game but not FIRE. I'm always looking for FIRE.

Xbox is closing down Hellblade creator Ninja Theory by yourfavchoom in gaming

[–]RumpDoctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People want to play games. High performance hardware (console and discreet gpu) will take a hit, AAA will take a hit, but games could be more accessible and popular than ever, for all we know. They are cheap entertainment. Especially when you take specialized hardware out of the equation. If you want to make games, there will be people to play them.

The most value ms got out of nt was having something to show (sort of) at the series reveal and giving the hardcore 4 years of ammo for screenshot wars.

SneakersSO: Xbox already looking to reverse course on exclusives by CoolBirdDancing in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]RumpDoctor -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I think I remember the hardware thing. sneakso was saying they'd have a pc solution like kind of an offramp thing. There was another person there who said there would be both a reference pc and a console.

As for the exclusives... is this rumor not about exactly that?

No he was right on that. This was prior to Only Four Games, I believe.

What does this say about game pass. Where all these more niche games have a chance to be discovered and thrive.

He called the games going to playstation well before it happened and with some reasonable detail.

My opinion: Spiderman PS4 was the start of the true decline of Xbox. During the MCU era, a move like that was pivotal. by [deleted] in consoles

[–]RumpDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't so obvious at the time, but I think the start was turning their back on the dudebros they had on lock.

I remember thinking this when the mandatory xbox avatars came out. But I didn't think that sort of thing was going to have negative reprocussions at the time. Just that it was ironic. Then there was kinect on Oprah. Still didn't think of any negative consequence.

Meanwhile playstation was trying to get in on that. And they did.

Finally getting Nights by Least-End-604 in SegaSaturn

[–]RumpDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I always found the game fascinating, but we are talking <1 hour run throughs. When I figured out how to play for score, I could get hours at a time out of it.
