@Royalblues This is some weird ass generalization.
You do know that not every Japanese games is anime? and not every anime game is centered around highschoolers? and not every anime game with highschoolers is centered around "cute anime girls"?
@4kgk2 Except if you have proof of this claim, then you're speaking out your ass , lol.
Stop crying about sexism or/and racism first , when people have actual complaints about the game. Victimizing every black female lead just because someone on Twitter doesn't like them, is cringe.
One of the reasons I hate victimization, is that most reviewers and some users reviews use it as a way to give games sympathy points on their reviews score.
Also, all I have heard from people on the game, is that the MC and the other characters have cringey dialogue, and that from the last gameplay video, the gameplay loop seems like the pretty basic open world ubisoft formula. Basically the game looks tried and done before, and is your typical open world game.
From the little I have seen, the MC powers look cool and flashy which I like. Nothing of the story has gotten me intrigued yet, but it is basically an isekai, which I do enjoy. Also I don't see anything woke about the MC, so I don't know where some people got that from.
Which version of GranBlue is it? If it's the base day one version with like 12 characters, then lol 😆. If it's the one with all the dlc characters, than it's a pretty good deal. Granblue has a single player experience, something not in many fighting games and has a great presentation.
All in all, it basically plays like street fighter , but with an anime fantasy medieval design. It has directional inputs, so it's easy for people who can't do motion inputs to play.
I am most excited about the lore and enemy designs. The Chinese fairytale like aesthetics, make the game look so exotic.
i think the devs said that we would be using like 50 of Sun Wukings powers, and if that true then this game will be goated. From what little we have seen, his powers look cool and diverse. I hope he also has a power to transform into a defeated enemy.
I understand peoples skepticism and wanting to see a release date, but the devs should take all the time they need.
@KundaliniRising333 "Although in my opinion Anime in general is terrible and in our time just creep level misogynistic."
Well, I hope for the sake of the worlds entertainment, that your opinion isn’t shared by many.
You sound like those people who used to undermine and berate comics in my highschool years, and of course this was way before they became popular and trendy as they are today. No offense.
@Bagwag82 At netcode method that allows your online experience to be more stable against opponents to aren't that close to you. Basically a better online experience.
@z0d15g0d A female character can commit sexaul assault to another female character, and she won't be reprimanded by either other characters or through the moral of the plot. Hell, at some point it will show that the victim will even start to enjoy it, because as we all know, every anime female character has a closeted attraction to other women.
It's a pretty dumb troupe that comes with morden moe anime, which usually have a female centric cast. A recent example of this is the anime LYCORIS RECOIL.
@SamMR And rightly so. People are tired of lead female video game characters that don't have an active male love interest, they're either lesbian or celibate to man.
@MiaowMinx "As long as she's not a super-feminine girly-girl, over-sexualized, flirty, manipulative, or otherwise matching annoying stereotypes about women, that's fine." So as long as she doesn't act like an actual female human being, then she is fine.
Seriously, your statement reminds me why good female character representation isn't still on the level as good male character representation in video games, because female characters aren't as diverse as a character like their male counter part.
FFS,I would take a manipulative female lead over another pure stoic or "manly" female heroine character not trying to look attractive.
All in all, what I am trying to say is that the traits that you don't want in the female lead, shouldn't be neglected on the assumption that it makes the female characters feel less.
@GymratAmarillo I disagree with this thought process. The game not being exclusive to Sony isn't the reason it is in this situation.
A game being exclusive to Sony can still be in development hell, while we have known thousands of non-exclusive games that has come out without much delays of this nature.
FFX still has one of the best romances in the series. Loved the mini game, characters and the story. I did not like the ending, so I was happy that FFX-2 fixed that up.
Also, even though FFX-2 gets alot of hate, it is still one of the few adventure games that the main female lead has a romantic male partner (or had lol). I also liked the female characters development from the first game to now.
@Lorcan Ironically, this series to me does a great job of showing that having anime troupes in your game, doesn't automatically make the game bad.
Yes, those anime troups doesn't necessarily always elevate the game, but it does show that having them shouldn't be a reason for a game to be bad in the first place.
Anyways, that's what I am getting from playing TOCS 1 and now 67 hrs in TOCS 2.
@Korgon The thing is that no netcode will he able to make the wifi experience close to that of the wired,because of the packet loss.
Having said that, rollback is a far superior netcode for fighting games compared to delay based netcode.
It makes playing against opponents who are far away, feel smooth. Although as you said, there is still lags against the wifi warriors( that's what we call them in the fgc), it's still more bearable than delay based netcode, which makes your character feel like they are playing underwater.
So the best solution is for the fighting game to have a wifi indicator that tell you if your opponent is on wifi or not, which will help you filter them out.
@Korgon The reason people still have laggy matches even with good rollback, is because your opponent is playing on wifi, instead of a wired connection.
@dasd2 Huh,the characters for Cold steel 1 and 2 are fully voiced. The optional dialouge are not fully voiced, just like inn persona 5.
The trails of cold steel characters being childish? I mean for one, just like with Persona 5 , the main characters are essenstially children. Two, at the end of Coldsteel 1 and the beginning for Cold steel 2( thats where i am currently at), i thought the main chracters had matured very well, and their character developement showed constructive growth.
IMO, i think Cold steel main characters and their relationships dynamics had better developement than in persona 5.

Re: Rumour: Captain America, Black Panther Game from Amy Hennig Team Set for Reveal Today

I hope we also get to play as the Bucky , Logan, Namor, whizzer and the human touch.
I am guessing the villains will be the Red Skull, and Hydra( or the Nazi's by name).
