Shilling underrated games

[PhantomXero1x]

I couldn't agree more. If anything they aren't even a part of the main fanbase since it seems there's more of a divide between ArcSys fans and Strive fans. Sadly that doesn't change the fact that ArcSys themselves are long gone (at least imo) and talking about Guilty Gear as a fan is a pain now with everything that happened to that game. Oh well, at least I have their older fighting games thankfully.

Yeah theeres a reason why i don't really asociate with or interact with fandoms at all anymore and its cause of shit like the divide such as what smt/persona fans have when the reality is all of them both sides are honestly totally pathethic. And the soy based strive fandom and now soybased river city and also guilty gear fans are just like i mentioned all equally fucking pathetic as one another.

I don't even like blazblue honestly cause i just find the dialogue and lolcowlization of it to be just so annoying and the newer games i heard are sort of gimped so i'll pass on that.

Arc systems has lot of great older games and sure i enjoyed the trace memory remake but the woke shit like race swapping was a huge disapointment for me as well as the fact now trace memory fans are all going to be soy infected weirdos now and soon enough hotel dusk as well too. ;-;

Can agree ever since that Bridget and Taiwan controversy they have not been the same since. In fact i believe the Blazblue/GG team left Arcsys due to these things and the fact they said they would be catering to global interests than focusing on their own country and exporting it to the West.

It feels like Japanese companies forget who their main audience is and choose to think these fake type of fans who enter in the franchise are the new fanbase and they can exploit them but always find out they are not around forever, especially those who are of the pretend Bridget crowd for GG or Persona 5 with Atlus, it's all temporary because they do not like games or anime or the culture of these titles, it's all because it's popular and to fit in society, they do not buy the games other than that one title. I would warn companies though to be careful on doubling down or tripling down on bad things because not only will the casual crowd not be there when time is up, but they do risk losing key talent and also fanbase which makes it harder to come back from. Like what has happened with BB/GG, and even certain other franchises. I do think what makes it crazy to think about is how much Arcsys lost on the playerbase with the Strive move.

Can agree though with older Fighting Games, there is plenty that exist in the backlog and there is some online matches that are still being played by those who bought GG:Rev 2(145) and BB:Centralfiction(170) and Persona Ultimax(150). That is the beauty that is PC gaming honestly, even years later there will be enough users online to still be playing these games years later. I am looking through more games right now to review, and i am looking into fight sticks as well because i am getting back into the genre again due to some solid titles i am looking into right now.

1)Wow such a troonsphobic team what a bunch of bigots who won't hang ourselves or cut their own genitals off just to seek validation as a whamen.

2)Hey i love fake type's music. :p but yeah joking aside i seen this too with alot of Japanese fandoms that its pretty much like i just said earlier why i don't really asociate with or interact with fandoms at all anymore.

3)I wouldn't really call it temporary as we still to this day have clout chasing ass grifters who love their soy who claim to be fans yet at the same time just keep getting contantly triggered since they didn't take their schizo meds.

4)Well yeah they keep losing their 41 percent userbase because they keep finding ways to unalive themselves or end up in whatever little asylums there is left lol.

5)Yeah the older arc system games are good and river city girls and guilty gear strive only enables the new soy gen direction of arc systems works so i wouldn't reccomend either.

That's awesome! Hopefully you have fun with whatever fight stick you buy! As for losing employees I never really heard about a good chunk of their team leaving, but I do know that Toshimichi Mori was officially gone two weeks after the whole Bridget fiasco. He ended up founding his own company too called Studio Flare, and while their first game is going to be an action game, I find it very funny that the second game is going to be a fighting game. Let's hope for the best when it comes to those planned games tho, I'm excited to see what happens but ye.

Phantasy Star Portable damn now thats a real slept on game i dont really see talk bout online so often.

Same with Phantasy Star 0 on DS. Very slept-on. Supposedly a prequel to PSO. It has a lot more in common with original PSO from a gameplay perspective, with some mechanics like strafing and dodging brought over from Universe.

I haven't played Phantasy Star Portable 1 yet, though I plan to. The JP-only Portable 2 Infinity has an english patch. I've been playing that.

I found a perfect 2D Fighting Game that is is up there with KOFXIII and Blazblue Centralfiction. It is Melty Blood Lumina, yes there is Melty Blood Current Code and that one was infamous for 2D Sprites before KOFXIII and Blazblue surpassed it but i do think with this release they did an excellent job combining the two games and making something that's simple yet complex while making something engaging that ends up topping KOF and BB again.

1. The Shield System is interesting, imagine blocking and then being able to do a follow-up teleport attack, sort of like something out of Dragon Ball Z, Naruto or Bleach, you can do different types of follow-ups depending on what you choose. A slash up, a hit from behind or just a basic jump hit and rush-down. What makes this crazy is you can even counter a counter with the shield if you manage to predict the way your opponent is going to counter your own shield as well and attack back.
2. The inputs are very smooth and clean, the performance is really high and you can get this nice gameplay feeling of it all being seamless and flows extremely well of what you would like to do, rather than fighting the controls to get certain combos off at times. It feels like you are very powerful and can control the battle if you know the basics.
3. Nice range of character types, Saber being a sword/spear character, Arceud being similar to a nice rush down character, Dead Apostle Noel being a good zoner, you do have Powered Ciel for those who like to do some combos and switch it up as well, i also think Neco Arc is sort of a similar odd character to use.
4. Extra modes for single player and not just story, but it also has Time Attack, Survival, Mission mode, Boss Rush(which needs to be unlocked by beating the game with a few characters)
5. The Mechanics are complex like Blazblue but simple like Persona Ultimax and it ends up not stacking too much mechanics on top where it is a lot to take in for the end user. It's very simplified in a good way.
6. Has Rollback Netcode
7. The music is absolutely amazing here is some examples

Yes even the main menu is not bad at all

Honestly i am surprised this game is 50$ for the game itself it does go to 31$ on sale, and if you like more there is DLC, but it's nothing noteworthy, it's announcements or just extra artwork and a soundtrack. I would say this is the least greedy i have seen a company use this practice and i would encourage anyone to give it a try. I think next week i might speak about some of the best KOF games to play and some i would not recommend and why.
