ITT: We post games with stylish gameplay
Has /v/ become too casual for God Hand?
>>386982961
???
I thought /v/ loves GH
>>386983094
Me too but this thread was almost dead without any replies, seems like we got some pendejos who couldn't get past Gold and Silver.
>>386983316
I just recently got into the game and I could definitely see people giving up easily. Its a tough game but the gameplay is so fun for me that its worth getting better at.
>>386982961
Is that cutscene supposed to be impressive?
I prefer to PLAY the game
God Hand play looks pretty ugly until you "get it". And when you think about it, only one man on Earth truly "gets it". I mean, I can do my decent little Level 2 juggles all day but I'll never be as good as him.
>>386982961
jesus thats horrible
It's a great game but it's more than a decade old, and most of the faggots now on this board arrived after 2014
>try to replay it in PCSX2
>somehow feels more sluggish compared to playing it on an actual PS2
Is it input lag?

You definitely won't if all you're doing is shitty level 2 juggles. You don't even need counter hits for those cmon anon.
>>386985672
Is this considered a filter inside a casual filter game?
>>386986057
Possibly, the bartender is just as hard.
I keep hearing the Shinobi/nightshade games are stylish, are they good also?
>>386985672
>when he clones himself
>>386986057
I still don't get why the Souls games are seen as 'hard' games when God Hand fucking kicks all their asses and came out three years before Demon's Souls did.
A KMS run on Hard in God Hand and Master Ninja run in NGB are about as hard as you can get while still being fair in a video game.
>>386986057
When you get to him at least you already know how the game works
>>386986283
These kinds of action games aren't very popular. That's all there is too it
>>386986176
I played Shinobi years ago, never finished it. I remember that it was hard as fuck, but pretty repetitive in combat. So not that stylish. It was a good game though, I will replay it soon
>>386986283
>KMS
>NGB
Sorry, I don't speak eglish. What does that mean?
Underrated as fuck
>>386986180
>When he lunges at you with his insane reach
>When he starts chopping you and takes away half your health
Sensei is honestly the hardest boss in the game, not even Azel 2 gave me this much trouble.
>>386986745
Kick Me Run and Ninja Gaiden Black
>>386986745
Kick Me Sign = KMS, in 1-2 Olivia will put a sign on your back and the goal is to reach the game without it falling off, the twist is that if you use God Hand or the roulette wheel the sign falls off.
Ninja Gaiden Black = NGB, highly recommend it if you like these kinds of games.
>The moment when you realize webm related is actual gameplay and not a cutscene.
>>386986745
He means the best game of all time
>>386986878
oh thanks
>>386986763
Not stylish.
>>386986619
Oh damn, repetitive combat is a deal braker to me.
Thanks though. Maybe Nightshade is better...?
>>386986917
>>386986927
Yes, I know those games. They look great. But I don't have an Xbox or a 360 so.... Fuck.
>>386981920
>>386987024
>I didn't play it
It's fine anon, just admit it.
>>386986283
Stylish action has always been a niche genre. Even From themselves kinda forgot but the Souls series' claim to fame was its atmosphere.
The games are regarded as hard because they were the first games in a long time to be very punishing, mostly due to high damage values.
>>386981920
Nothing like it.
>>386987204
DMC isn't niche though.
But then it wasn't hard at all also
>>386987105
Don't know actually but it looks really similar

>>386987315
I'd say Cerberus is a bigger casual filter than Silver and Gold although God Hand has by far the more difficult bosses.
>>386981920
Ikaruga. Not the hardest or best shmup out there but it looks stylish as fuck on S++ runs.
>>386987442
>glasses

>>386987443
>TFW every action game opens up with a casual filter
>>386987447
No fucking way, Cerberus is a joke compared to Silver and Gold.
>>386985394
Half of those start or end with QTEs

>>386987539
So you think he chose wrong?
>>386987649
In the original release it was defaulted to hard which made cerberus a huge fucking brick wall.
>>386987443
>>386986432
I dont believe this, I beat them pretty easily and I suck at fightan games
>>386983316
>Thought I was hot shit for getting through a kick me sign run
>Decided to start another normal run
>Got to Gold and Silver at Level DIE
I wasn't ready.
The suplex into spike attack is too fucking funny.
>>386987748
God is right
>>386987926
Silver and Gold is the fight where the player has to understand that spacing and crowd control are the name of the game when it comes to God Hand, if you don't properly look for openings and space yourself accordingly against them you are going to absolutely destroyed by their tag team attacks. The move where one of them picks up the other and rushes towards you can do half your health, it's pretty crazy.
It's the best kind of casual filter though because you can only beat them if you really understand what the game is all about.
*blocks your balls*
>>386984738
>implying you wouldn't get your prolapsed anus ripped off by God Hand
god hand is fucking shit
>>386987442
I like how Bayo gives you more options with witch time and weapon swapping, but god hand lets you get so much more aggressive, and punishes you so much harder for fuck ups.
I like them both though. I like God Hand more because the tone wasn't as serious as Bayonetta.
>>386988241
>I like God Hand more because the tone wasn't as serious as Bayonetta.
God Hand is one of the few games to genuinely make me laugh out loud when playing it.

How can Bayonetta be more serious than God Hand when Bayonetta isn't serious at all?

Bayonetta has an actual story and lore to it, God Hand is straight up a satire of American and Japanese culture.

Hell no, they have stylish visuals, animation and dialog but the gameplay ranges from average and generic to shit.

God Hand is my favorite game of all time. I recently beat it on hard mode, which was an incredible challenge. God Hand makes me laugh, makes me sweat, makes me FEEL.True vidya kino
>>386990113
Arguably the most kino moment ever.
>>386988157
Or if you cheese them with the crutch that are roulette moves/god hand or get a lucky drop. RNG was a mistake.
>>386988420
I miss Cinematech it made me aware of Etrian Odyssey, it's the only show I liked on that channel.
>>386985672
I always found Sensei a breeze, always surprises me to see how many people have trouble with him. Azel was the toughest, and best, fight for me.
ace combat
Kick Me Sign run on difficulty level Hard at stage 8-1 is something I can't get through.

>Doing a level Die KMS challenge

I ended up having to savescum to beat him. Once he cloned himself it was practically impossible to recover. You get one chance by throwing the jars at him, but then you're fucked.
I thought I was in the clear after beating him, but then you get fucking Death Shudder and holy shit you're fucked 8 ways.
What's more of a necessity for beginners charged punch or High side kick?

>take a suck...
What did Yaiba mean by this?
>>386996178
Yes Man Kablaam cancelling while the enemy is stunned. But seriously, charged punch for handling groups of enemies. High side kick is really good for abusing single targets while they're stunned. I feel like I would've died half as many times on hard mode if I knew how to properly handle groups with charged punch aoe, instead of boxing them all with high-tension moves like floating butterfly/stinging bee.
MMZ may not be too stylish but can this also be a thread about tight controls in action games?
>>386996502
>Sold 400,000 copies
That's why, no game has bombed as hard as W101 which is a shame because it's the real Bayonetta 2.
>>386996502
I unlocked and beat Operation 101 and I still don't consider myself great at this game. Managing those long juggles feels amazing though.
>>386996178
well if you get good at counter-hitting with charged punch, you can easily get enemies into air launch/dragon punch height. You can also charge it for a second or two on grounded enemies and get them to just enough height as well. HSK is good but there are a lot of other kick moves you'll get that serve a similar functionunless you want to HSK spam to the final boss like a dirty scumbag casual
>>386982961
Not yet but if God Hand got a sequel by Platinum was under the spotlight then /v/ would suddenly hate it
