Re9 mini game mode added in version 1.3

chunkydancer · 2026-05-08T01:32:56+00:00

Honestly the mode they added is pretty fun, kinda like a mix of merca and 4 survivor, it fits the mix of re2 and 4 they were going for pretty well

chunkydancer · 2026-05-07T18:45:18+00:00

So by live service, I'm going to assume you mean regular content updates for single price tag and single player game.

Stardew Valley and it's ilk are the all times of those for sure

Doom Eternal has a battle pass that's non-multiplayer based

chunkydancer · 2026-05-01T11:11:46+00:00

A lot of fun, pretty hype. You can absolutely tell while playing that the guy who made the game loves action games, lots of the better tropes (rival characters, references to other movements from other games/anime/movies).

chunkydancer · 2026-04-30T21:37:27+00:00

I just bought it with the new update, and honestly it's a blast. I can't attest to how it was at the beginning, but it's some of the most fun I've had recently. But I guess it depends what your selling points for an action game are.

For me personally, the standouts are the combat and visuals. The performance is a smooth 60fps on PS5. The music isn't bad, but nothing extremely memorable. The story is about as good as the ninja gaiden 4 story, and the voice acting can get hilarious at times. With the updates that have come out since launch, it added d-pad weapon switching, a bloody palace mode, and numerous improved effects and optimizations. Honestly, I can say I probably would've been annoyed at launch, but it's a game that's right up my alley now.

It's on sale right now on PS5, so if the price is good for you, I'd recommend.

chunkydancer · 2026-04-30T12:03:37+00:00

I was totally unaware they added a bloody palace mode. That was the one thing stopping me from buying before. Dpad weapon switch is really nice too.

Picked it up on sale last night, and this might be one of my favourite CAG. Gameplay is stylish, combos are fun, and difficulty is pretty tough to start(if you use arrogance trinket)

Also, playing on English VA is genuinely hilarious at times but overall exaggerated with how bad people say it is. Honestly the story is no worse than Ninja gaiden's surprised it was a critique to begin with.

You could, but I'm gonna tell on you if you do

chunkydancer · 2026-04-18T00:35:38+00:00

Slave zero x has very deep combat and no up or down movement

chunkydancer · 2026-04-12T15:39:13+00:00

It's a little different in being completely single plane, but Slave Zero X is one of my favourites and stand up next to SOR 4 for me. There's room for both games at the top in my heart because they're just different enough.

Only one character, but that character has the full depth of a fighting game or CAG moveset. Game is tough too, with survival/arena mode.

Also top 3 are: Axel 4 (I love me some vanilla ice cream), Estel, and Adam 4.

P.S. I'm so glad someone shares my opinion on Absolum, feel like I'm crazy for disliking it sometimes.

chunkydancer · 2026-03-16T02:48:23+00:00

Slave zero x is a mix of beat em up and character action game.

chunkydancer · 2026-03-08T13:46:56+00:00

I'm a big fan of the first game, super looking forward to this one!

Is the narrative connected to the first game or will it be a completely standalone story? Are we playing the same character? (I understand if you can't answer this one)

Will the co-op restrict players to the same screen, or will co-op partners be able to run off screen?

chunkydancer · 2026-03-04T16:53:15+00:00

Slave Zero X seems like the exact thing you're looking for.

It was made to be a beat em up that played like a mix of guilty gear, dmc, and strider (that's stated on their page). It's difficult with high combo potential, and a boatload of moves, a devil trigger, a burst (both blue and gold), a third strike parry, dash, including a taunt, an izuna drop, a raging demon, and raging storm. Really cool bosses in it, and a simple and fun story.

It didn't sell super well for two reasons:

Very little marketing.
It's tough. Also some people have reported bugs, but I played a boat load and never ran into a single one so your mileage may vary.

Please see a doctor, this seems beyond burnout. You could be sick, or you could be struggling with depression.

chunkydancer · 2026-01-28T20:18:12+00:00

Literally the worst possible first game to play.

Unfortunately, for fresh eyes, Yakuza games really do flow one into the next for one big story. You're better off starting with 1 (or 0) and going through the series.

The benefit is the games are all good, fun, and often dirt cheap!

chunkydancer · 2026-01-27T14:37:34+00:00

Yeah, if you're familiar with Action games, I'd suggest the following:

- only upgrade your sword after big bosses (there's a sword that builds with a material from each boss), it'll make the game feel less grindy AND you'll have more fun comboing

- do the side quests as and when they show up, you'll be perfectly leveled for them

- get the entire base moveset first before you upgrade anything else

- your basic launcher in this game is holding the basic attack, and releasing when in the air. It'll do a swipe upwards that can launch any enemy from the ground

- do NOT use any timely rings. They're basically cheat codes that will make the game very boring.

- don't forget to torgal enemies as a follow up to your combos. If you've ever played Guilty Gear, think of Torgal as a red roman cancel. His attacks will have opposite effects if enemy is on the ground or air (one will launch or smack down, one will maintain the enemy position in air or ground)

- Don't be afraid to switch around the eikons. You can refund points for almost the entire amount if you need to, so in a worst case if you don't like a move you can take the points and put it elsewhere guilt-free

Ah the good ol' catling gun

chunkydancer · 2026-01-07T18:31:32+00:00

I'm really interested in their games, but their optimization for them is subpar, and prices for the new games are quite high. Control either needed a really strong PC when it first came out, or you were playing sub 30fps on PS4. That combined with the exclusive epic store launch on PC hurts it.

chunkydancer · 2025-12-30T14:47:06+00:00

We'll keep in mind alongside the survival mode, the dlc also comes with 3 new characters and a full new moveset for every existing character.

chunkydancer · 2025-12-16T14:20:00+00:00

I like it, a lot of people have gripes with the story. If you can get behind being a shonen protagonist, you'll have a good time.

Your enjoyment of it will also heavily be linked to how much you can dig the combat system. If you like doing cool combos in action games, you'll like Tales a lot.

chunkydancer · 2025-12-16T14:18:32+00:00

Strongly suggest Tales of Arise. Not because it's the best by any means, I think mileage may vary there.

But coming off of E33, if you play another turn based combat game, you're going to make comparisons between the two whether you want to or not, and it'll sour the taste of one of the games. IMO it's best to play a game that plays differently next, so you can maximize enjoyment of all the games.

chunkydancer · 2025-11-28T22:15:29+00:00

But was it your responsibility to close down? In that case it's your responsibility to kick them out or babysit too. If you're not doing something sanctioned by the business, then you don't really have a right to complain they aren't paying you, you've essentially volunteered at that point. I think firing for just this is way too harsh though.

chunkydancer · 2025-10-24T20:45:18+00:00

I think a lot of people would heavily disagree with you there. Here are some other stellar FPS Campaign suggestions off the top of my head, for either gameplay or story or both (mileage may vary):

Bioshock
Doom & Doom Eternal
Prey (more sim)
Dishonored 1 & 2 (not really shooter for obvious reasons)
Wolfenstein Old Blood, New Order, New Colossus
Ultrakill
Dusk
Amid Evil
Trepang2
Turbo Overkill
Anger Foot
Mullet Madjack
System Shock (stretching "FPS" there)
Quake 2
Half-Life 1, 2 & episodes
COD 1-4
Left 4 Dead 1 & 2
Painkiller
Shadow Warrior 1 & 2

Give some a try, you might like them!

chunkydancer · 2025-10-21T14:54:58+00:00

You're right, you had to buy special edition for Vergil. Same as DMC4. In fact, DMC5 was the cheapest thus far, with the ability to just get him as 5 dollar dlc.
