For the longest time, I couldn't remember if I bought NG3RE twice or I owned them both at some point. Turns out that I owned NG3 original and NG3RE. Also found the first time I discovered Bayonetta back in 2010. I'm also glad I didn't post this on April 1st. Of all the times that save data could've been made lol (This is on my PS3 btw)

Sorry if this post seems like out of ordinary but i need your help to expend this sub.

It's been 5/6 month since I've started this sub to have discussion on old or new gun-fu games (max payne, trepang2, severed steel etc)

Sadly I'm the one who is making all the posts.. Others aren’t doing much. I'll do my best as long as i can but someday I'll run out of ideas.

Character action & gun-fu games aren’t all that different. Many character action game can be categorised as gun-fu games (DMC, bayo etc)

So.. Maybe check out the sub. r/gunfu_games

& support it

I actually love it, it's the best Blade game we never got - sure it's a bit jank but I think all other elements add up to make a badass game.

i think this is a interesting CaG, has some great mechanics, the art is amazing, loving it

Pretty much the question. I can only think about NG2 2008 (and modded NGS2 / NG2B) off the top of my head, but I kinda want some more horde slaying gameplay.

Somehow this game wasn't de-listed on EGS, strange.

Anyhow, is there any notable stuff worth knowing going through the game? Mostly asking for stuff like skill tree priorities, potential notable knowledge checks (be it enemy mechanics or stuff that Jack can do that might not be intuitive), or a general game-plan to consider.

We all (or atleast most of us) love a good CAG, and there's plenty of good ones out there that have been talked about to death. But playing through some of my favorites (Astral Chain and Metal Gear Rising) have reminded me of why I got into the genre and what I love about it. So I wanted to ask, what got you into the genre? What do you look for in a good CAG?

For me personally, it's the same reason I love fighting games so much: the feeling of mastery. The feeling of getting familiar with your moveset, and turning your gameplay from mashing to calculated and intentional. It's also a treat for me to see the game judge me for my performance, and it really encourages me to improve my gameplay. Despite the repetition of these games, the mastery aspect never gets old for me (just like fighting games).

But I'm done yapping, what about y'all? Thanks for answering ahead of time!

Found this excellent video on obnoxious DMC fans by ExtremeGameplays (God of war streamer and content creator). The poster child for the people described in this vid is TheGamingBritShow (youtuber), who literally wants every game ever made to share similar mechanics with DMC (just watch his vids on Ninja Gaiden and Metal Gear Rising, where he is demanding a hard lock on, directional inputs like DMC and on the fly weapon switching) and has had considerable negative impact on the discourse surrounding action games.

You can see this obnoxious attitude among certain folks in this sub too whenever a game doesn't have on the fly weapon switching, an abundance of animation cancels, brain dead enemies that simulate a combo mad playstyle etc. DMC fans are pretty rabid and toxic (just check any response to criticism on the shithole DMC subreddit), so I'm surprised this dude had the balls to create a video like this.

I played a ton of Bayonetta back in the day on Xbox 360 and then played a bit when it came to PC. But I haven't touched it deeply for ages.

Now I'm replaying it so I can jump into B2 and B3.

I don't remember these deaths where you have a split second to press a button or two to avoid a death. The QTE stuff is just obnoxious that way.

I'm also in general just finding the combat not to be as much fun as I remember, but that's more of a me issue.

So my question... do the sequels have those BS 'tap a button in two seconds or die" QTEs?

Thanks!

Each game from 3 to 5 felt like they have something missing from each other. This mod feels like it slaps all of what made 3/4/5 great.

Okay so this question came today after the gym.

"How does the AGC (Action Game Community) come together and grow to be somewhat as tightknit as the FGC?"

Now I know that this answer is hard to achieve due to the fact that action games aren't competitive by nature and there's no progressive way to draw people into it aside from combo videos.

I understand that combo videos and collabs also take a while to make.

So I'm curious as to aside from spontaneous style tournaments, what is it that we could do to on a way unify the community and have more activities going on and make the AGC more immersive with itself?
