It's the same boring shit as Quake. Just because your movement speed is "FAST" doesn't make the game any more interesting. There's a reason arena shooters died around the turn of the century in favor of more evenly paced, complex shooters we have today.

>>378251098
I thought it was a pretty good way to make cover shooters fun. Execution didnt have the grace that it needed to bring the most out of the concept but it was much better than its peers

I rented it a long time ago. I wasn't a big fan of it. People call it CRAAZZZYY or whatever, but you are punished for doing so. Even punching someone basically drains your entire suit. For the most part, your best bet is to roll from cover to cover and shoot dudes until they stop spawning. Honestly, there's not much of an actual reason to jet around and do cool thing besides trying to mix things up. Fighting your own boredom isn't good design. Then you get to enjoy a walking sequence that you can't skip. The upgrade system punishes you for experimenting with new weapons. This is highly counter-intuitive design. Why would you abandon a highly upgraded weapon when that means you'll have to start from scratch again the next time you want to use it? This means it's more optimal to stick with the weapons you like (Or most optimal like Assault Rifle + Anti-armor pistol + Whatever) instead of having fun and experimenting. Pile on boring enemy design, repetitive gameplay, ugly areas, and a short story and you got yourself a meh game. Wasted potential.

>>378247040
Console gamers have lower standards and thus hype up shittier games.

My last console was ps2 and when I play last and current gen console games which are ported on pc I always am slightly confused becuase those gotys turn out to be very mediocre games in many cases. But somehow people on cosoles praise them. Also I don't understand how people play fps/tps with gamepad. Too old, too cold.

>>378247040

liking platinum games is contrarian

>>378259995
Liking platinum games is bad taste and low standarts.

I couldn't get enough of Bayonetta, and thoroughly enjoyed Metal Gear Rising, Wonderful 101, and Madworld.
But this, while I enjoyed, felt like it was missing something. For a cover based shooter it was awesome, but it still wasn't all that fun.
And too short. Even for a game of its kind. And ends on a cliffhanger they never intended to resolve. fuck em.

Mod for infinite melee when?
I've never wanted a mod for a game so badly

b-but Mark Brown said it was good.

>>378260993
For me it's kind of the oposite.
When I beat Bayonetta I didn't really feel the need to go back to it, whereas with Vanquish I'm on my third playthrough right now (grinding for achievements).

Maybe it's because I like shooters more

>>378248587
You can skip them with ENTER.
Weird button placement,but it skips without loading.

>>378261308
Huh? It's TAB for me

>>378247040
Is it really 18 gits of pre-rendered cut-scene video and 2 gigs of the actual game?

I want to play this game but I don't need a butt load of space taken up for a 5 hour game.

>>378260993
Bayonetta had more high points but also had more low points compared to Vanquish.

I played this back when it came out on PS3 and thought it was OK. A fun little action game, but not one of the greatest ever. There were already plenty of better fast shooters, like Tribes.

Good news is that movement in shooter games has continued to improve since this game's release. Titanfall 2 is everything Vanquish should have been and more.

I enjoyed the game, but I expected more depth than I got, though that may be because I'm retarded and don't grasp the games mechanics. I just go fast around everyone and pop AR to blow robits apart. I used the anti-armor pistol a lot, but it seemed so broken I switched to the regular rifle and machine gun.

I don't understand why pc fags are so hyped for an outdated console game.

>>378247040

all the webms so far were Titanfall 2. You can get up to roughly 100 MPH on foot and maintain that speed if you're good enough. The sensation of speed really depends on your FOV, as usual. The default is a lot lower than in Red Eclipse.

>>378249842

Why do console gamers have tendency to overhype and overrate every mediocre game they have? I don't say there aren't ay good console games anymore but the majority sure is shite.

>>378260993
If you play it as an arcade game and skip all the cutscenes it really doesn't feel like it's missing anything and feels like something I would love in the arcade.

Also I would hardly consider this game a cover based shooter. It punishes your score for using cover and the mechanics don't really intend for you to use cover.

>>378247040
/v/ considers games that have sliding and diving as "greatest TPS ever". Vanquish has jet booster sliding, therefore it's the bestest TPS ever.

>>378262863
Your own webm is a perfect demonstration of why what you said is absolutely retarded.

>>378263106
This is fuel to the fire.

It's good, but I want it to be better.
Too much of the game takes place in the same environments, with the same enemies, with almost no story for most of it.

>>378264856
But vidya considers RE4 as the greatest tps ever. Probably best game ever.

>>378263684
Sliding is the least unique part about the game.

The game doesn't encourage you to slide. If you have the sniper rifle, melee into roll is faster than sliding. Sliding is good for it's ability to cancel and get you into air states where you can slow mo hit weak points to take out certain enemies faster. The entire game designed so you can get into almost any engagement and use your abilities to get behind the enemies, and kill them all while overheated out in the open. If you are ever popping in and out of cover slowly to kill enemies don't understand the mechanics and are just playing it like Gears of War with a fast boost between cover. Played properly and you should hardly use cover except to throw cigs or in emergencies.

>>378264546
Show me one TPS with more advanced mechanics than Vanquish.

>>378264893
I'm 28 I played q2 and 3, ut 2004, jedi outcast, action quake, chaos quake and cs when it was still a mod and I think modern multiplayers shooters are better.

That it is.

>>378265253
First off, how is that relevant to anything I said? I said your webm's don't demonstrate any of the advanced mechanics Vanquish has to offer and doesn't replicate or replace it in anyway.

Second, who gives a shit about your shit opinion? You didn't even offer a defense of it, you just stated "I like the mediocre modern shooters of today over good shooters of the past."

Why do I give a shit? Most people like more casual anything than the more complex version. The most popular competitive games are AoS's because games like fighting games or Starcraft were too hard. Even then, games like DotA were too hard, so they dumbed it down and then it became super popular. TF was dumbed down so it became popular, then it got dumbed down again in TF2, and was progressively made worse, then Blizzard perfected it by dumbing it down even more in Overwatch and that is super popular.

SF4 was dumbed down from 3S and got super popular, more popular than the plethora of over mechanically better fighting games, but people prefer dumbed down shit because more complex things are hard.

Your statement.

>The only unique thing about the game is the sliding.

My reply

>No, here are specific things about it that are unique. The game encourages you to do these even if you can technically play lower difficulties by only playing it like Gears of War and sliding

Your reply to this then somehow is

>Are you implying that me, who is perfect at video games, is playing the game wrong and didn't already know of all these mechanics? Of course I know about them, only the sliding is unique though!

Well if that is the case, which is the only way your asinine reply makes sense, what are the other third person shooters that put such a heavy emphasis on movement heavily based on animation cancels and where all the tech is designed to put you in safe aerials but only if you are positioned right and not in range to waste your hits on enemies.

>>378265460
This is incorrect. On God Hard even being in cover makes the enemies throw a ton of grenades at you and also use missiles that go through cover. It actively DISCOURAGES the use of cover.

It's fine if you played through the game and didn't try to get into any of the advance tools the game gave you but why does everybody imply that the way they played and their skill is the penultimate in ability and nobody could possibly be doing better or different than them?

>>378265792
He didn't present his opinion as an argument. He simply stated his opinion as if I should take it as some fact and not believe what I believe anymore.

I don't care if everybody is playing casual games, as long as any games are still made I can enjoy I'm fine with it. But he was somehow implying that inherently because of his opinion of liking newer casual games over older more mechanically robust games that somehow meant it was some universal truth. He made no argument about the reasons they were better or any examples or anything.

all platinum games look way cooler than they are.

Everything but the combat sucks, then the combat in those games quickly becomes repetitive because thats all your doing with no interuption or anything to break it up, You usually end up doing the same 2 or 3 combos over and over on sponge enemies,

Vanquish specifically wants you to slide around and do all that cool shit except theres no reason to other than its cool. Sticking behind cover is safer and the dominant strategy, especially on the higher difficulties where sliding around is suicide

>>378248278
I applaud your bait, good sir

I fully agree about the fighting games. The new Street Fighter bores me compared to Arcana Heart. But I love Titanfall because it's a genuinely great game with a high skill ceiling and extremely fun with team play. Plus the physical pleasure of jumping around at 100 MPH or stomping around in a giant robot. Let's be real, you haven't even played Titanfall. You probably heard some former CoD devs were involved with it and assumed it was shit before it was even released.

>>378266770
Not to mention that first CoD was literally Medal of Honor with a cinematic Stalingrad first level.

>>378265486

>>378268743
>Artificially increased
>He doesn't even know how games like this work on higher difficulties

The lower difficulties are tutorials for you to git gud so when you finally play the actual game you don't cry like a baby and quit forever. Higher difficulty is not just higher damage values, it's entirely different enemy placement. For example in the start of the game instead of fighting two walkers in 1-3 I think it is you fight two of the huge dudes with canons.

But keep telling us how horrible the game is because you played it on normal and didn't try out any of the advance techniques (which are necessary on higher difficulties)

Maybe console kiddies think it's hard because of controller aiming? Using a mouse makes every fight trivial

Don't lick shit please.

Everytime.

>>378269334
PC players don't have to deal with literally 3 games for a whole year, so yeah they don't force themselves to like something only because it's an exclusive

vanquish > bayonetta
come at me

>>378269674
Vanquish could be really good with better gunplay and more content. As is this game is a missed opportunity.

>>378247040
Got bored of this shit in 45 minutes.

>The only things I can even say are exceptional is that Elena is a 10/10 qt and that Not-Hillary blows her brains out.
Don't forget the great San Francisco cleansing.

/V/ tricked me with dragon's dogma. Now with this. Didn't play nier and bayonetta tho.

>Why would you abandon a highly upgraded weapon when that means you'll have to start from scratch again the next time you want to use it?

Upgrade levels are saved, if you pick up that gun later it will still be upgraded.

>>378247040
Pc mustard race right?

>>378269879
Yes but Vanquish doesn't have Afterburner

>>378270003
I didn't even finished the first mission desu

Did you skip the better games on purpose?

>>378270060
Don't bother trying bayonetta, it's shit too

>it's ok that it's only 3 hours long!

/v/ is so trash

>vanquish released on PC
>neverending shitposting

is this the power of the PCbros?

>>378248147
None of this happens for me.

>>378270446
Framerate damage is real.

>>378248712
And this is why I don't buy shitty hackjob ports

>>378248712
Is there a way to cap framerate?

>>378270087
Obviously, you rarely find peasants with standards.

>>378270060
I almost fell for Automata, good thing it got cracked so fast. I hated Dragon's Dogma, but at least I could see why some people would like it. Vanquish may be a bit overrated, but it's a good game nonetheless. Nier on the other hand is a mystery to me, how a game so basic and padded can get near universal acclaim. Even the majority of negative reviews on Steam say it's a masterpiece and only complain about the bad port.

>>378270384
You are missing how almost everything else on this board is never ending shitposting as well.

>>378270384
People meme up games with never ever funposting, and when the game is finally available on PC, more people get to try it. It's hard to meet overblown expectations, but with Vanquish it's especially bad, since the game has serious flaws such as lack of content that tend to be overlooked by the community. What really makes Vanquish a special case in my opinion is that keyboard and mouse controls make the game feel retarded at times, see the monorail sections.

>>378270932
It's a mystery to me how you didn't like Automata.

Normal mode is your tutorial mode. It's supposed to get you acquainted with the mechanics of the game while offering you a Normal challenge. Because Platinum do not want to be niche game developers, they design the game so people who don't plan to invest too much time into it can play the game at their own pace. For example, on Normal modes you can get away with mashing the same combos over and over or playing the game in a way WHERE YOU DO NOT USE THE GIVEN GAME MECHANICS TO THEIR FULL EXTENT.

However, on higher difficulties you are supposed to have understood the game by then, and the game challenges you on it. Enemy encounters are changed up to be more challenging, means of safety become more restricted, and bad habits are more likelty to be punished. At this point, survival becomes synonymous with scoring which is synonymous with getting good. This is exemplified through the scoring system of each game. Bayonetta rewards you for getting a lot of combo points and not taking damage, MGR rewards you for getting Zandatsu's and not getting hit, and Vanquish rewards you for clearing missions quickly, not dying, and getting bonus points on top of USING COVER AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. Otherwise you might as well be playing Bayonetta while constantly using health items. Unfortunately Vanquish does not have score rankings unlike most Platinum games, meaning your evaluation is rather badly visualized.

Try to approaching a Platinum game with the intent of mastering the system by getting all those awards. Once you've pushed the gameplay to its limits, then you can truly understand how good/shit the game is. You don't even need to be good to understand the game, even though it certainly helps. But do you really feel like you've seen everything the game has to offer on one Normal playthrough? It's one thing if you don't feel like replaying the game, but don't delude yourself into thinking that's all the game can offer.

dragons dogma combat is even more basic than automata's, both are simple and fun, though.

I'm loving the game and even moreso I'm loving Sam. I haven't laughed this hard since I last played Rance.

>damage received is tied to FPS

fuck, no wonder I keep dying so fast, here I thought Hard difficulty was really this difficult

>>378271632
What's your average? I don't think you get huge numbers in this game, it's runnin at 80fps on average for me.

>>378271095
>lack of content
Because that's incredibly subjective depending on who you ask. I have spent over hundred hours trying to clear 30-minute long arcade games with a single credit on top of trying to improve my score because there's always room for improvement. They're not the kind of games you beat once and drop it immediately afterwards. There's a lot of replay value to be found in games with deep scoring systems and just mastering the game, if that kind of mentality is foreign to yours then you probably won't understand a part of the core appeal for these kinds of games. There's more reason to replay games other than finding all content.

>>378270884
Use your video card's software to cap it at 30.

This game's fanboys are unreal, acting like giving every enemy quad damage is a minor bug. I got fucking destroyed when I started the game by the most basic enemies on normal.

Some tips:
>Boost Dodging gives you more invincibility frames compared to mashing dodge, you can pull it off by activating your boost and immediately dodging afterwards while repeating the process, if you do it right you should hear the boost sound before each dodge, and it does not consume any energy
>see those MOAs (big bipedal mounts)? you can mount them after you kill the pilot
>grenades can be shot mid-air to control where and when you want them to explode
>boosting diagonally lets you move faster than boosting normally which in turn is more energy-efficient
>Grenades can be dropped instead of thrown by pressing the Throw Grenade button while exiting a slide, EMP nades detonate much faster this way
>you can throw a cigar by pressing the Boost button while in cover, this is important as it distracts all nearby enemies away from you which you can do to survive or pull off a trickshot, however you only get three per mission
>sniper rifles deal bonus damage to weak points
>reload canceling works by switching to another weapon while reloading, or performing other actions like throwing a cigar
>each weapon has its own unique melee attack, assault rifle lets you keep punching something if you mash the melee button which is finished off with a powerful attack, the HMG backflip lets you activate AR while in the middle of an animation so you can jump upwards and shoot the enemy from a clearer viewpoint, and so on
>the Disk Launcher is unique in that its melee attack does not overheat you, however one disk is spent in the attack
>a charged Shotgun bitchslap is one of the most powerful attacks in the game, on top of that it automatically counters most incoming melee attacks (bosses are usually excluded) while being charged which lets you deal even more damage

>>378272105
Try making yourself harder to hit, even in the game's current state it's tolerable on Normal. A curious side-effect is that health regen is much faster on top of increased damage taken as well.

The first 3 acts had very similar level design. I enjoyed the second half a lot more. Its honestly a very average game. Not that thats a bad thing but its not some hidden gem like people on /v/ said before it released.

>>378272068
It's cool that this game appeals directly to you, but nobody would suffer from more and better. I really think this game could have been a modern Hard Corps.

>>378247040
>why are people memeing this game?
Port beggars with $1500 rigs who couldn't afford to buy $50 refurbished PS3 and $1 used copy of the game memed it, then rubbed it on "console peasants's" face.

>>378272105
I had no idea about this glitch until I finished the game.

>>378247040
Maybe you just don't like action games?

>>378272105
I beat the whole game on normal easily, even with the bug.

>>378273234
>every action game is good

>>378273394
Who are you quoting?

>>378248712
dont worry pc gamers can handle the increased difficulty

>>378272960
There's always more possible, but at some point you have to call it quits. There's only so much you can stretch out with the tools and enemies at hand, and I find more value in a game that knows when it should fuck off and end instead of dragging on for too long. I can't say Vanquish is wasted potential with what it did, aside from ending on a cliffhanger. There's still plenty of stuff I'd cut like the monorail sections, and bosses tended to get reused rather uncreatively as well.
