I was really hoping the entire game wasn't just snowfields and factories. That's a shame but i'm still getting it as the gameplay and boss battles look ace.
I hope this does very well and inspires more devs to make mech games. Mech warriors and transformers can't be all western devs have to offer....that I know of.
@PCPS4XB Yes it is. 4 player co op and unlike the predatory nature of destiny once you beat a boss you are rewarded with the best unique loot for that boss no need to endlessly grind for a chance to unlock boss drops. This is surprising for a f2p game but it's a great mechanic and shows the devs respect that players have other things to do in their lives also. Here's the link to the dev talk that gives a better idea of what to expect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9KduNbp0_U
Played the first beta and really enjoyed it. Tried out a few of the characters and liked their abilities. very much looking forward to the 2nd beta to see the new weapons and revamped grapple. Will probably drop destiny when the full version of this comes out.
@Shinnok789 Agreed. Imo NR games have the best story modes of all the fighters out there. Even though they're linear it's always great fun. Now if they can take a page out of Arcsys' playbook from back in the day with GGX and create story paths that are unlocked by completing certain actions within a fight that would be very awesome. Shame Arcsys dropped this in favour of pvp.
@number1024 Loool that's where it's from. I wondered why over the years the word "Metatron" suddenly pops in my head. Damn, that game had a deeper influence than I realised. Yea I never played fist of mars so did not know what happened in between and Mc becoming a rebel ace pilot was random af but I just accepted it. My fingers still remember the thrill of those insane boss battles and not being able to blink in case I miss my chance to dodge an attack. It would be great if the series got a remake as the IP hasn't been touched in a while now. I even recall buying the feature animation film on dvd which was a completely different set of characters. Where's the internet petition mob when you need them?
@Robocrop_Duster I for one am looking forward to the God of War mmo where you can create a character as kratos' demi god b**tard child and try to reign supreme.
@Markatron84 I play Destiny also and have done for about a year but i'm very close to my breaking point. Most of my friends who started with me have already quit but i'm a glutton for punishment. The grind is so predatory even though they make you pay for the content so it's not f2p. Ive been trying to get the navigator exotic from the moment the dungeon launched and ive tried on 3 characters every week and still nothing. It makes absolutely no sense to add rng for an item with fixed stats.
Yup played it for about a couple of weeks and really enjoyed the gameplay. Was looking forward to unlocking unicorn gundam then did the calculations with the points I was accumulating and realised it would take me about 3 months then gave up. Tried to jump back on recently but the community was long gone 30mins and no matchups.
@nessisonett as you deleted your post but the email persists. No i'm in no way suggesting mangaka's are treated better than western writers. Not in terms of human rights anyway. They do have more creative freedom and entry into the industry for new comers isn't as impossible as the west. I don't believe well loved series like dragon ball or one piece would have survived as comics if the authors were western.
@AverageGamer I know what you mean but that was caused by marvel and dc themselves. Their quest for a monopoly has ended up being their downfall and now they wh*** out decades of character development for short term gains. Look at the comic industry in Asia still flourishing because they don't stifle creative talent instead they support and nurture as best they can. If marvel or dc created a shonen jump type environment where unknown writers and artists could create new stories based on their respective universes they would still be thriving.
I think SH should return to comics only for another few decades. All these directors and developers watering down great plots/characters and thinking they can do better than the writers and artists that have been keeping SH alive for the better part of a century are making me sick.
@themightyant Haha I hear you on that point. It took me like 60hrs into Genshin to realise I had barely made any actual progress before I dropped it for the time trap it is. This has been more friendly (he says 181hrs in) but I fear you might be in trouble as ZZZ comes out soon. That's 3 games specifically designed to consume time. Won't be surprised if it's some kind of MiHoYo curse magic at work.
@Recover20 I haven't got Loucha yet still farming crystals but defo need him as I only have Yukong(useless) for imaginary at the moment. Welt is needlessly elusive.
I wonder what they are going to do with the limited banners for the ps5 release. Hopefully they re run them on all platforms as missing out on Selee turned out to be a devastating omission on my part.
Ninja Storm with JJK skins? Pass An action adventure horror through their city would have been much better. They built a whole Konoha village you could explore and they can't do that for this?
Bungie should drop this and focus more on destiny. There's been no new content for pvp in years (so i'm told by veteran clan members) I started playing some point last year and bought the year pass for light fall and have caught up to everything. The weekly drip of season pass content took a sharp decline when season of the deep came out. Clearly their efforts and resources are being spent elsewhere. And for those who don't know destiny is not free 2 play. It's free to try. Free means access to everything which this is not.
I play Honkai and there is a system where you can use other players characters for certain item farm missions. One of the top characters was on the premium pull and you only had a couple of weeks to unlock her. To get her you needed to do 90 pulls to get a higher chance of 5* character. You could not get that amount with the free tickets, you had to spend cash as it was something dumb like 0.6% chance of pulling a 5* and 50% chance that 5* was the featured character. The character is so OP that you can pretty much use her to solo most fights. And only the whales or those the rng gods sided with unlocked the character. Still a fun game though but very short as only 1.5 levels are out at the moment.
@Coolmusic I hope it doesn't but seeing as they are the only ones to make a successful DC universe game WB will probably redirect their efforts to assist Gunn.
Hmm..I'm getting the feeling we might not see another injustice but some kind of "we want our games to tie in to our Gunn movie verse" nonsense. I really hope i'm totally wrong.
You could buy new character intro animations from the Krypt in Mk11 i'm guessing it will be the same with this. Dunno about the specific voice lines though. Would be nice if you unlocked new ones after reaching certain points in the story modes or after completing arcade mode.
So Onimusha style enemies mixed with Okami and shrine priestess exorcism dance moves...pass. I hope it does well so they feel more confident and remake Onimusha. They should really survey their fan base for remake requests like they did with the RE series.
Kameo is defo MvC2's mechanic, dunno why Mr Boon tried to make it sound like an original idea. Good to finally see a non desolate or dreary map in Mk. I fully expect them to micro transaction the s**t out of the kameos.
This looks sweet, i'm hoping the release date is mentioned with the July character reveal. Anyone know why there's rarely any fighting games on the epic store?
FF15 and 7 remake both took over a decade to release after being mentioned and "shown off". I'll be giving the Chinese devs benefit of the doubt till they're at the 15 yr mark. There's plenty of really good games out and coming out within that time frame to keep me occupied. Leaving my hype on simmer for now.
