Lets Talk About It

>>381089851
I had a lot fun during the test fire. Right now I'm just grinding my chops against the CPU

>>381089851
Ive held off on buying it. Going to wait next month and get Splatoon2. Fighting games arent my thing, but if they add some more game modes i might pick it up if it hits a sale this holiday.

Remember TO ALWAYS go after the Ninjara first in free for all matches

having a blast trying to clear the grands prix, will probably get online once I feel sufficient that I'm not a shitter

>>381089851
I like it a lot but I'm sick and tired of fighting hored of Min Min, Ribbon Girl and Ninjara in ranked. Why do shitters think these characters are good in any way?

The worst about the game is that is has no penalty for quitting, but that's also good because it means if you are a shitty grabspammer I'm going to disconnect in match 2 and leave you with no points.

It was clearly a short development time to get shit out in switch fast. The calendars pretty empty right now.

They were probably like fuck it we'll add content as we go

agree with all those points.

i hate the fucking motion controls, and wish they put more time in just developing traditional and making it standard. i know people like them, but fuck, i can't get into them at all. i wish there was a (better) way to change width of grabs on traditional, and an easier way to block.

Shit game, not worth premium and a fisher Price tablet.

>>381089851
I love this game, back then when it was announced there were no way I could believe that this game had the potential to be one of my favourite.
I don't feel like that it lack content and with future updates it will grow anyway.
I can understand that not having that much solo content can turn people off (even if when you think about it isn't that bad, you have : GP, survival mode, random arms mode, the minigame to get new arms and a complete "tutorial/training mode" (and if you want a training mode more traditionnal you can do it to)))

>>381090986
If you block you are a shitter. Just move all the time.

>>381091079
solo content is fine. just needed individual the grand prix a bit more fleshed out to expand the lore of individual characters, and make it more satisfying to play through.

>>381089851
>If you're bad at the game, you'll do bad.

No shit. Whatever happened to easing into a game by learning it's mechanics and gaining skills through continuous play. Y'know.. gitting gud?

Are people too lazy to do even that nowadays?

>>381090784
I agree. I think they saw that it irked with Splatoon and wanted to get something out to fill the library. I'm enjoying it but I am horrible online.

>>381090728
>why do people have shitty taste in characters
This isn't anything new. Min Min and Ninjara were going to be the most popular as soon as they were revealed because most people like:
>waifus
>fast, speedy characters

>>381091236

>>381091172
Talking about GP, does anyone bothered with clearing it with all characters ? If so, does it unlock anything ?

I have done 7 characters out of 10 but since I do it at lvl 7 it takes a while

>>381091446
And while I'm at it, in the help section some scores for modes like survival are mentionned, does beating it unlock anything ?

So has anyone ripped the soundtrack yet? I'm not talking youtube rips, I'm talking FLAC or MP3 rips for personal use.

Can you even make a lobby with your friends?

>>381091704
Yes but we won't let you into our special /v/ lobby

People who can't git gud or don't use waggle are bored of it. The others are still playing. I'm enjoying it a lot, it's going to make for a fun party game. As of right now, it should be $40, but we'll see what happens with the free dlc

Who are you playing and with wich arms ?
If you win a round and lose the next one, as soon as you are KO'd press start and go back to the main menu, it will reset the round but not the match.
Also, in springman's stage my favourite strategy is to put a lot of pressure into the opponent so that he is trapped in the corner.
Good luck Anon

I think it's lacking content but not the sort of stuff we'll see as DLC.

There's no meaningful single player content, which is bad for a) there's 84,267 things to grind but minimal ways to do it and b) single player is where you teach people how to play your game and it's lacking here. The "tutorial" on grabs is a single line that says "don't get grabbed"

The moveset are kind of shallow too. Only one type of throw. Can't grab out of shields. Shields should probably have permanent degradation. The timer seems like a last minute idea to keep party mode flowing and not properly tested. The game wants a scoring system and not just KOs. Moves should decrease in efficiency with repeated use. There are both too many and not enough unlockable at the same time.

There's a great core here but it feels rushed AF more than Splatoon ever did.

I literally can't win a single grand Prix march what the fuck is this?

Matches against CPU & Ranked matches are night and day.

The single player content is nice but fighting actual people is a shitload more engaging whereas the CPU can be frustrating at times, like most fighting games.

Its very easy to pick up and play, and I'm suprising how quick and reliable the online matchmaking is

>>381093346
>>381093357

Are you guys using pro controller or waggling?

I've played all the test punches waggling, I tried handheld yesterday and I couldn't win a lvl 2 match.

>>381093045
>childhood crush

Helix is 2. How does it work

>>381093672
I'm the opposite of that. I really like the motion controls, but I just can't win while using them. When I use a normal controller I do just fine. I've cleared level 4 grand prix 3 times now.

>>381093219
>Can't grab out of shields.
It seems like you can, not sure about what you're refering to
>Shields should probably have permanent degradation.
No because the degradation are on the arms themselves (and their degradation stays a lot of time), having a degraded arms (yellow warning) makes your dashes and punches vulnerable and you are very likely to have it "broke" then grabbed
>The timer seems like a last minute idea to keep party mode flowing and not properly tested
What ?
> The game wants a scoring system and not just KOs.
What?
>Moves should decrease in efficiency with repeated use.
No because you have only 2 different moves and in most cases one to approach and one to defend yourself.
By making a move inefficient with repeated use it would encourage defensive play and the game clearly wants to allow both defensive and offensive playstyles (for instance : the more attack you do even if doesn't land, the faster your hyper jauge will be filled but in the other hand you have things like auto counter (shield an attack and dash in it))
>There are both too many and not enough unlockable at the same time.
Kinda agree, but maybe there's hidden unlockables (if you beat the dev scores in survival for example)

>>381093672
I've done my best with controller using L+R for punches and X+Y for jump. A+B feels kind of weird when I need to charge or maneuver

>>381093880
I just love how easy it is to jump and dash with the motion controls, those are the only 2 buttons you use, and they're right at your thumbs

Playing with them as your face buttons just ruins me, I guess I'll just keep playing my 2 hour shadowboxing sessions.

>>381089851
ARMS feels like Splatoon all over again.
Im expecting ARMS 2 to come out after 2 years and having all the content that should've been here in the first game to begin with, just like they did with Splatoon 2

>>381094139
Motion controls do feel nice, and I find them very fun. But I have a lot of trouble moving around with them. I feel so much more free and mobile while playing with a controller, so I guess that's why I prefer it. But if I just want to have some pure fun I'll switch over to motion controls.

>>381089851
I don't have a Switch and can't play the game, but reading this thread I'd just like to say how fucking funny I find the complaints about "grab spam"

You idiots realize that if someone tried to grab you when you aren't in recovery you got a free hit, right? That you can knock a glove away and that breaks the throw attempt leaving them open for your other arm?

I can't even fathom how you must play to lose to "grab spam" do you just immediately and constantly air dash and throw both arms out regardless of what your opponent is doing?

>>381094692
The issue is that scrubs break the grab with a single punch and expect a huge opening.

If the guy throws both arms for a grab, there's no reason for you to not throw both arms out for a null punch and a counter.

>>381094692
Even if the complaints about grab spams are funny, sometimes grabs are safe even if you aren't in recovery considering the caracters and the angle of the grab (especially if you're above someone)

>>381094692
I don't think people are actually losing to "grab spam". If one throws a punch and it's way off course or the opponent dodges the opposite way, there's enough time and space to connect a grab if the other player isn't completely up to snuff.

There's also the fact that some characters, like Ribbon girl, can get some major air. If she's three hops above you and less than 5 feet away, that's almost always a free grab. Mechanical can do the same in stages with elevated areas.

why are people disappointed that arms got the #2 spot on uk sales chart, along with splatoon numbers?i think it's a pretty decent result considering it's still the #41 best 2017 videogame seller on amazon and it's also doing ok in japan

It's nothing personal, they just hate everything that isn't FIFA

>>381097424
I want to know this too

It seems like actual punching is a waste of time since it's so easy to dodge

When was the last time you actually hit someone with a charge shot? Never

>>381097727
The last time I hit someone with a charged hit was the last time I charged a hit. It's not hard if you know proper duck and weaving.

So ranked levels up every character not each on individually?

I like it, but because it's a fighting game, people naturally gravitate to whatever's easiest. Testpunch was Ninjara, first day was Kid Cobra and now every ranked match is either Min Min or Ribbon Girl turtling with slap arms.
My friends no longer want to play with me because I always win and when I suggest they stop spamming jump and throwing both arms, they don't take it onboard (which is cool I guess) but get super passive aggressive and whiny. In conclusion, I am having as much fun as I normally do with a fightan game but I'm scared tourney play will be "stock 3 only".

>>381097727
I hit my charged slapamanders like 60% of the time

Straight arms is stupidly hard to hit though, I tried Sparkys and I never hit.

Honestly, it doesn't really need that much content, I think they were just more focused on the multiplayer. Splatoon has suffered a similar problem where the single player is fun but is woefully under developed for what is an otherwise very interesting set of lore and characters.

Hopefully Arms will sell enough that Nintendo will see fit to release supplementary materials like a tie in manga or something

Splatoon cost me 60 American dollarydoos when I bought it brand new a year ago. And GameStop is still charging 50 for unused copies

Arms cost me 60 as well

The problem really is the cost of manufacturing physical media still hasn't gone down and companies like Nintendo have to keep e-shop prices for games with physical releases on par with one another to stay on the good side of retailers

I simply don't see a reason to get it when nearly all major fighting franchises came out this generation and for the same price I could get fighting games with MUCH more content and depth, such as GGRev2.
It's the same thing I thought about Splatoon - no matter how fun the core gameplay is, the amount of content and restriction/lack of modes at launch was PATHETIC. Splatoon2 will at least try to have a real singleplayer campaign, but I bet all my money on how it'll still lack map and mode variety for months.

I don't like that type of business model.:
>Step one: Find a fun gimmick
>Step two: Make a MP-focused game around it
>Step three: Severely lack content, but instead of selling it for $20 like it should, sell it at full price with lackluster SP mode and limited MP, with a promise of "free DLC" down the line for good PR, which was actually paid in advance by releasing it as a full priced game.

Splatoon, ARMS, For Honor, the new Ubishit Pirate game, and so on all fall into that category.

If RocketLeague was a Nintendo/Ubisoft game it would've been sold at $40-60 with a shitty SP arcade mode disguising itself as a "campaign" to pretend like it isn't the $20 indie package it truly is.

TL;DR: Wait for a 50% discount on ARMS or for its sequel.

WEW LAD, where to begin? I really can't. That's beyond retarded even at face value

>>381103737
>if you buy ARMS now it's like buying Xrd Sign when it was out,
That's the same argument I see when people compare Switch year1 games to PS4/Xbone year1 games.
It's not based on reality, and I don't even need to spend a single second thinking in depth about it.

We live in 2017, ARMS is a 2017 game and competes in the 2017 marketplace, where GG Rev2 is a thing instead of GG Sign. I won't go back in time to entertain a silly argument. Much like people defend Switch's launch window games by comparing to other 8th gen console's launch games. The problem with that is that the Switch is a 2017 system, not a 2013 system. If they wanted a "fair fight" they should've released it in 2013 instead of now, where Switch's launch games would ACTUALLY be competing for PS4/XBone's launch games.
I'm not going to pretend that Nier Automata, Yakuza0, GravityRush2, ResidentEvil7, NioH, Persona5, GGRev2, Tekken7 and many many other games AREN'T coming out around Switch's release date just to justify getting a Switch at this moment.

I'll give you credit though, GG Sign didn't have a lot of content when it came out, which is why I didn't buy it and waited for Revelator. Just the same, ARMS isn't worth getting currently at its price. A year from now it may just be a complete game and cost less, so it's worth getting then.

Stop doing the "wait for what they do every time while either being super far away for ranged attacks or super close for grabs" shit that the AI teaches you
The AI is a stupid input reader so the tactics that work on players, such as psyching people out, don't work and it'll just go from insta guarding to a quick dodge to a counter attack.
Staying at long range almost never works against players while it almost always works against AI. Try to keep to mid range.

ARMS has 7 playable modes outside of your obvious training modes, all of which are available for single player and only one of which is local exclusive, 10 player characters and 11 stages if I count correctly, plus a host of customization options. I do agree it has a scarcity in modes but only from the perspective of having original unique content like a story mode or whatever that can entertain without the presence of friends around, but unless you're NetherRealm this seems to have always been a problem endemic to fighting games and Guilty Gear is no exception.

To be honest I get Mario Kart 8 vibes from this game. People keep saying that game has a way of entertaining you when playing solo but I just don't see it. The only reason it's fun playing solo is because the core of the game is easy to grasp, which most people playing ARMS seem to not have grasped at all yet.

>I don't know how Metacritic scoring works

There's not a single "negative" review of the game counted in the Metacritic score. The reviews dragging the the score down are a small batch of "mixed" reviews. The green 77 means that the majority of reviewers liked the game and at the very least gave it a thumbs up or gave a score in the 7 to 10 range.

The AI on Level 7 Target Break is fucking horse shit, the fucking nigger always shoots a wide grab to hit every single target before they even appear

Guess this game needs the Splatoon treatment.

Constant small-ish updates, a few more characters for free.

It kind of feels like Splatoon did when it was first out: fun but barebones. Obviously rushed out because Nintendo need a mid-year game.

>>381105042
Again, according to Metacritic, the game is more positively reviewed than negatively reviewed overall and at least according to the user ratings, most those who scored it gave it a green score, but /v/ will pretend that everyone hates it cause not all the reviewers are treating it like the second comimg of Christ, as if "perfect" and "garbage" are the only two categories

>an artist that doesn't draw her as black
Nice

Don't get why tumblr thinks she's black. Her color scheme is based on mexican stuff like day of the dead. She's also from the ARMS equivalent of california, so she's definitely a spic, not black.

>>381105602
It's already confirmed to do just that.

Max Brass' signature Toasters have increased abilities at the cost of being able to arc; they head straight forward only. Suggested for advanced players.

>>381103124
What content do these other games have that ARMS does not? ARMS has:

An Arcade mode with different text for each individual character and fight dor flavor purposes and unique ending screens.
1v1 (duh)
2v2
3p and 4p FFA
3 minigame modes
100 man Smash type mode with a boss at the end
A training mode with specific AIs that helps you to combat tough strats for many players, like grab spam, super usage, aerial opponents, and turtlea/counterplay
Online unranked party mode with all these options and console co-op (friends can join each other, too)
Friendly custom lobbies
Ranked online. No items, just skill.

>>381105602
It is getting periodic free updates, they've already shown off the first new character coming next month.

>>381105913
I think I'll main Brass with minmin.
Minmin is the agile counter fighter who gets free power ups if you survive long enough, but Brass seems like he's designed to be the tanky boss character that shits on bad kids while also having the highest skill ceiling (by predicting what you're opponent will do).

>>381106183
Ironically, I feel Brass and MinMin will be pretty similar in game plan. Both want to get a grab or a free moment to charge fully so their perma-charge effecr can kick in and they can keep the heavy offense going. Plus Brass gets his not-shit mobility and super armor.

>>381105859
>>381106068
Then why are people complaining then?

The problem with reviews these days is that really they need to be revisted. Some games change over time and this needs to be acknowledged.

>>381105247
nah its only 10 stages
we'll be getting a new stage and character in like a month though

>>381106539
Yea but the difference is, Minmin is more so focused on getting a grab in or knocking down a punch in mid air with her kick in order to get a long charge in.
Brass is about playing defensively at first in order to go boosted mode so you take less damage, don't flinch, and are stronger.

>>381106660
I love fishing minigames. Rev's fishing is poop, my man. Know what shit game had fun fishing? FFXV. I am legitimately interested in that XV fishing spinoff Sony showed at E3.

>>381107021
Persona5's fishing is dope AF too. I even canceled a couple of dates just to go fishing

>>381094692
Beginners tend to jump a lot, which leaves you vulnerable to grab spam. Getting good at the game is realizing that you should try to avoid jumping unless it's necessary.

>>381106876
Definitely. MinMin transforms froma somewhat defensive, dodgy character to a more mixed fighter with her charge. Brass will likely go from 100% defense to 110% offense.

>>381096910
Nintendo never really cared for the europe console market back in the day. Sega had way better marketing and pricing. Sony filled that role when the dreamcast flopped.

You're comparing a franchise with 20 fucking years of iteration with one that literally just started.
Fighting games are always slim on content the first time around.

>>381106545
This is an issue where I'm not exactly sure where my opinion lies. On the one hand, I'd like to say that on-release reviews should be final because games should launch with an amount of content properly scaled to their price. On the other hand, part of me feels like steadily released, free content actually adds "value" to the consumer, since it ensures that a game will have a greater playerbase for a longer period of time.

Most of /v/ haven't even played it.
And then there is the fact that the game requires real skill and isn't all that forgiving.

For starters. The AI doesn't simply coddle you to give players the impression that they're better than they are.

You actually need to learn the fundamentals of the game and then improve your mastery of them in order to be good at the game.

>>381110010
Yeah, might be. Can't say I played well the whole time, but there's one time I absolutely destroyed her because I picked the boomerang and she didn't move much after punching.

I guess I'll have to practice how to avoid curving punches better too.

Not enough content that justifies 60$.
Other than that it's a great game.

It's just like Splatoon; a lot of fun, but light on content. The only excuse for extensively playing it (besides trying to git gud, assuming ARMS can actually be a true competitive game) is to slowly grind out money for the Arm Getter. Just like Splatoon, it's going to get periodic free updates with new content, so it'll be worth playing so early just to get used to the mechanics

>>381090701
Party Mode is literally just for having fun, no shame in losing there

Hopefully elements get a balance update at some point.

There's zero reason to use anything but electric, fire, and maybe ice at this point. I got relatively lucky and got sparky + toaster on all my main characters and I feel like I don't need any other arms now.

>>381091198
Not that anon, but I feel it should either cost less to play the Arm getting minigame or you should be able to earn money faster. You seriously have to grind to save up enough for even a short play, so missing a present is more frustrating

>>381091446
I have no idea, but just playing GP multiple times will get you a lot of money, so you're not wasting time by going through it with everybody

>>381113000
I think it should just give you mostly arms for the character you are playing as, I unlocked like 20 arms in one go and only got 1 for the character I was playing as.

Shovelware that underaged faggots are inexcusably attracted to in swarms. Threads of it on /v/ are a tumorous cancer of underaged faggotry just waiting to burst and infect all other threads.

They need to make this game control better on the pro before anyone starts taking it seriously.

I've already stopped playing because of the system for getting new arms. It's fucking terrible. Why can't we just use coins to buy the arms we want? That seems like a far better solution. Also, you don't get nearly enough coins in single player. Going through one full grand prix is enough to get you a short timer? Fuck off with that

To everyone saying "not enough content" Is it just that nowadays $60 warrants a different type of game or is it just the barebones singleplayer not having a real story? For a first of it's kind fighting game and first in it's (hoping it becomes a) series there's not much too compare it with and it has more side mdoes than I expected desu.

>>381114838
It's just shitposting, it has as much content as most new fightan.

They're in the mail. Wish joy-cons weren't so expensive or that there weren't so many colors already, I still need an alternate pair of neon and the grey.

The only fighting game that has alot of story and modes are the NRS games

I forgot what game recently got on steam, GG or Blazblue, but it had a "Story mode" that had no actual fights in it. I remember being pissed off about that. Fighters always sucks for singleplayer.

>>381115486
That's GG, the story mode was essentially supposed to be an anime.

>>381089851
>however a major gripe I have with it is the lack of content
I keep seeing this in all the reviews. I sort of get it but what the fuck do you expect from a fighting game? Just go online or local and battle mother fuckers. It's the whole point. I know some of those miscellaneous modes are fun time wasters, but in the long run, if you want to stick with a fighting game, it's all about playing against others at the very least semi-competitively. I don't know, I guess I just dont get it. If you want single player stuff, play something else.

ARMS has as much content as your average fighter and that's fine but Soul Calibur II showed what fighting game single-player SHOULD be.

In terms of "being light on content," I'm a bit curious what exactly could be added to the game to make up for that gap. Arms doesn't really have the advantage that Splatoon has in terms of being mechanically built to support single-player "stages" in the traditional sense. I guess it could go the Street Fighter V route and go for a full-fledged story mode with cutscenes and voice acting and all that jazz, but what could you even do in regards to the Arms universe? I could definitely see something light and cute with the fighters interacting with each other outside of the ring, with occasional moments of gravitas to address their individual goals, but I wonder if even that would fit into the game's scope.

>Matches either turn into running away to stall for time or dodge then missing the grab-fests.

>>381117686
Yeah, pretty much just more story related stuff outside of more characters and stages. Also, I can see them adding in my mini game type shit for the hell of it. Maybe have a mode like American Gladiators where you have to ring someone out/knock them off a platform.

They give enough minor details for a single player story to work. Make Ribbon girl's story revolve around trying to compete with twintelle (her final boss) for popularity, have Helix's story mode have cutscenes revealing how he was made (and maybe Hedlok the ultimate weapon?) Have Spring man be an underdog story, etc. etc. Unless we want one big connected story, just make it center around everyone learning about and trying to stop Hedlok.
