Are you hyped for Astral Chain?

I wouldn't say hyped but I am absolutely onboard for a day 1 purchase.
Been needing a good sci-fi game to sink my teeth into so it can't come soon enough.

I would if it was on pc. It looks pretty good. Sadly there is no point to buy switch just for one game. I already learned my lesson with 3ds. It just collects dust because mario, zelda and etc. games are just not for me. Maybe I am too dead inside or too braindead to enjoy nintendo games idk.

>there is no point to buy switch just for one game
Then just buy two copies of the same game lmai

I really try not to get hyped for anything, at least not enough to preorder, but Astral Chain is definitely high on my priority list. Between this and DMCV plus a few other titles, 2019 looks like a good year for spectacle fighters.

*Lmao

will there be jap audio option?

>glorifies the police
I'd like to remind you that not everywhere hates the police as much as america, user.

Lmai = Laugh My Ass In?

I believe so.

I don't think there's been a plat game without that option
Even TW101 had it and the dub is phenomenal

I feel like Platinum wants me to be excited for it, and I know it's coming soon, but honestly the fact that it even exists is frustrating to me because they aren't saying jack fucking shit about Babylon's Fall or Bayonetta 3 and I want to know about those games. I get why you don't "divide the hype" or whatever but I could give two fucks about what stupid bullshit virtual pet bathing I can do in this fucking game. I want to know what the hell Babylon's is about, and it's been over a year, and I'm starting to get really fucking irritated.

If I had heard more about Babylon's Fall and Bayonetta 3, and THEN they had announced Astral Chain, I'd probably be like "oh, cool, that looks neat" but right now every time I see it I just get mad that it's not the game I want them to be talking about.

I will wait till it's emulatable I guess. Better than buying a console just for one game

They usually have them

>but I could give two fucks about what stupid bullshit virtual pet bathing I can do in this fucking game

It's only cool to have a seething hatred of the police in burgerland, user. They're respected elsewhere, because unlike America most countries have standards for who they hire as law enforcement

You can change all appearance settings for your character at the locker in HQ. The only thing that changes on your twin is the skin color. Eyes/hair stay default.

That's an interesting interaction if you try to chain jump while wrapping chain around enemy. Platforming sections do use corner angled jumps around "poles", so guess it makes sense it happens on enemies too.

But the battery life... and if I used my WiiU like a bedside console with just the tablet, would it be worth the money? It’s a hundred dollars cheaper than the switch after all

They recently did a revision of the normal switch to give it the battery life of the mini. It's $100 more sure but for that $100 you basically get a home console and a handheld instead of just a handheld. If you're a hardcore portable guy then I guess its fine, but ever since I finished school I've never been able to get into portable stuff vs. big screen stuff so I wouldnt be able to live without TV mode.

Looks a bit too cinematic for my taste, that was a big reason I wasn’t a huge fan of Bayo 2. The interruptions between your attacks getting interrupted by long winded animations and that slow down weapon swapping look like they kill the flow of combat.

Might wait and see what people say after a couple weeks and pick it up on sale, but for now I’ll be saving my money for DQ 11.

Give me one reason why the Arm Legion isn't the second best Legion in the game

I was but I heard that on the hardest difficulty available it's easy as fuck. And that you only unlock a harder difficulty after you beat a level.

WHY did they give her such a cute butt? Do all cops look like this?

I honestly don't like the art direction and think the models look overly complex, i'd rather buy bayo 1 + 2, never played the second.

>heard that on the hardest difficulty available it's easy as fuck
Heard from where? The only source that has mentioned or shown the hardest difficulty is that gamespot video posted earlier in the thread. You take a lot of damage per hit in it, and those enemies seem to have a lot of health.
>And that you only unlock a harder difficulty after you beat a level.
Most action games require you to beat the entire game first. Unlocking per level let's you play it sooner.

Kind of of funny. The art direction of Bayonetta is what puts me off it. She just looks too freaky with her original proportions.

Her Smash Bros model is somewhat better, but I'm still not fond of it.

Looks like Nintendo trying to make some sort of Nier knock off. I bet you Switchfags will lap it up anyways.

Nintendo is a niche console. Most people don't know shit about games coming out for the Switch since at most they sell 1-2 million copies. I rather play consoles with games that sell like 10-20 million copies.

Is switching between Legions not seamless? It looks like he had to double tap the button or something every time he changed Legions.

It can be depending on which legion is in rotation

Tapping button quick switches to next legion. Holding button brings up dial menu to select with stick direction.

Doesn't seem you can do combos between Legions though. When he summons another Legion it doesn't appear until the other Legion is finished with its attacks, and they also do a time-wasting pose when they spawn.
Shame.

Damn. The closer we get to launch the more disappointed I am by the combat.

I can't find a clip atm but you can "unchain" a Legion and switch to another one. The unchained Legion will do a continuous attack for a few seconds while you and the switched-to Legion start attacking again.

So is chain jump a lock on attack, or can I use it whenever? I mean i'll buy it either way, but having a jump button in a game is my autism.

The opinion of a nobody reviewer is pretty worthless when we already have a shit ton of gameplay

>sending out multiple legions for crowd control
that is the coolest shit
but if I gotta nitpick something, it would be enemies clipping walls when attacking in certain circumstances (flamefucker's big dicc sword literally goes inside the wall when winding up for an attack) and the "grab camera footage" animation looks cool but it will undoubtedly get old after you do it multiple times, much like Raiden pulling out the enemy's spine after a Zandatsu.

>When he summons another Legion it doesn't appear until the other Legion is finished with its attacks
You can manually despawn a legion at any time by tapping R, which cancels their current attack.
>they also do a time-wasting pose when they spawn.
You can still activate their skills and sync attacks during that pose. Just lose out on their auto attacks really. If you summon right when you are about to get hit you do a perfect call which evades the attack and does a special sync, so the game encourages despawning and recalling (also helps with energy gauge).

>worse song
I'm sorry you have horrible taste. The voices barely have any volume to them, the chorus has 0 fucking power to it outside of the music. The vocals are so fucking dull and lacking in power.
For a toku game to not have that kind of power for the climactic final henshin and fight is a disappointment to the genre. It's a weak song. All we can hope is the insert song they confirmed is more powerful vocally.

Isn't exactly hard do better than pokemon user.

That's a lot of words to admit you have no idea what you're talking about
Would you like to try again?

Did anyone else notice in the gamespot footage that when the beast legion comes out he uses an ability that makes the chain orange and deal damage. “Chain drive”

So it's like the Unite Liner also dealing damage once you unlock that?

How do I have no idea what I'm talking about? Tokusatsu OPs have to be super fucking hype and have power in the vocals especially for the chorus because they need to be the most hype part of the final fight.
When the chorus kicks in you should be on the edge of your seat with hype since you've been watching for a full year waiting for this moment and then BOOM chorus kicks in and it's all worth it.
Even the worst Kamen Riders have solid final fights with the OP kicking into the chorus at the most hype moment of that fight and the tables get turned. It's an innate part of toku. Like how the final henshin has all that emotion behind the word. So explain how I'm wrong instead of just saying "you don't know what you're talking about".
I'm not even shitting on the game, just the OP and that's because I want the vocals to have more presence and BOOM factor to them. I'm hyped for the game.

>I can hear for one

Now you are just being fucking retarded

You have to unlock it.

Yeah

that's not a fucking jump tho that's a homing attack. why the fuck can't you jump? that so needlessly retarded and limiting.
that means this game wont even have enemy step either.

Somebody made a thread yesterday claiming he leaked Marvel Alliance before and that this was coming Thursday, you replied to it too.

I'm not insulting you at all, I wouldn't dream of talking down to a disabled individual.

worst design decision ever

It made sense in Wonderful 101 at least where the game was hard enough that it felt fair that you had to unlock Hard Mode. Most everyone is saying Astral Chain is really easy.

why do devs still do this shit

So, we're in agreement then. Savior is a shit song and could be greatly improved by having strong vocals and less auto-tune. I mean we have to be, since you haven't said anything contrary to it.
Good to know. Now that that's over let's talk about the rest of the game.
Will the insert be for a henshin, gattai, or for something else?
Place your bets.

My only worry is that it's gonna be yet another case of a ripoff of bayo mechanics with half the depth like most of plats creations in the past.
stat fuckery is yet another worry of mine

1 person is most everyone now

Yeah I know. I'm just really hyped.

in past plat games it was nesessary since it would throw endgame enemies at you from the start, not sure about AC

Woah m8, I just thought you were deaf, but it turns out you're retarded too.
Are you sure you should be posting on Yea Forums?

I mean if some pathetic basedboy journalist whose apart of a basedboy website calls the game 'too easy', then I guarantee you the average Yea Forumstard will fucking tear the game in half.

Hard mode in ac makes you share your health bar with your legion

I’ll tell the Yea Forums tard to play on hard mode

German previewer also said standard was pretty easy and there was no reason to play the lower difficulties. Ultimate looks like it should be pretty fun though. Gamespot also put out an article complaining about the silent protagonist. A defined character probably would have been better story wise, but it is what it is. Worth noting that he says the review embargo lifts on Monday.

>even “journos” are saying ac is too easy
>have to beat the game before unlocking the harder difficulty
aaaaaaaaand thats gonna be a no from me dawg, until they patch in the ability to play on the hardest difficulty from the get go i’ll just play something else.
what a fucking shame

>have to beat the game
Retard discarded

Not every action needs to play exactly like DMC with DMC mechanics. Astral Chain has its own mechanics that combat revolves around with nuances to learn. Get over it.

How about you beat it on normal real quick, learn the mechanics, then test your abilities on hard later?

Hmmmmm?

>First Fire Emblem Three Houses is the easiest game in the entire series
>Now Astral Chain is easy as fuck too

I'm not even joking when I say that the Dark Souls series is so esteemed simply because it's one of the few actually difficult AAA series left in gaming.

ewww FUCKING GROSS. it has the "ground cartwheel animation but in air".
why are platinum so sloppy & lazy? they must know this looks like shit.

how about you shut the fuck up hmmmmmm?

it has air attacks therefore not giving you the freedom to simply jump into the air at anytime is inherently bad design.

>make argument
>ask for counter argument
>there are none
>this goes on for a long time
>clearly there is no counter argument so both parties must be in agreement because there has been no counter argument.
Considering your first response and last response are just insults and not arguments then clearly you have nothing to say so there's no counter point to be made. Only you being a faggot.
So, logically speaking, as there is no counter argument and only the initial argument, both parties are in agreement that the initial argument is true and correct.
So I'm glad we could come to this agreement.

Not if there are other tools that allow you to get into the air. Like he said, the game is different. Learn how it works without comparing it.

I make it a policy to not have serious arguements with trolls, especially those who try and push the narrative that an opinion can be proven as superior.

But please, do continue to shit up the thread. Everyone really appreciates it.

Cool autism, bruh. Here's a pity (You).

warping horizontally using the chain is not a suitable alternative to jumping.

>trolls
How am I trolling? If anything you, the one just responding with piss poor insults, are the troll.
And you are the one shitting up the thread. Hell you don't even see the hypocrisy in your own post.
Take your dick out of your mouth and think before speaking.

All of these fucking previews and hands on from fucking casuals don't even chime how good this videogame really is. Only the goddamn Tim Rogers could actually give you an idea of it here:

Not only he talks about the gorgeous designs of Masakasu Katsura (that even on this goddamn thread and anime site no one mentions even once) but goes on forward to mention works like Dominion Tank Police.

They give you multiple ways to access air combos. Game is more ground focused, so generally you are supposed to launch enemies to air combo them. You can do air attacks after most (maybe any) chain jump. Flying enemies and large ones are easy to air combo with chain jump as it is.

Shut the fuck up Onsokumaru.

It doesn't help that a lot of critics end up docking points for games being too hard. I think it was gamespot or something ended up giving Dong Freeze a 6/10 because it was too hard.

>a full launcher is.. is a slower jump with a hitbox?
no you fucking retard, it's a tool to move enemies upwards. when an enemy is already airborne, you can chainjump instead
jumping otherwise is kinda pointless since why would you want to be airborne when the enemy isn't?

The reason is so that you have to take whatever small risk is involved in landing this up-close attack on the enemy in order to gain a positional advantage instead of getting it for free. Otherwise known as a combat design decision. It looks to be a sync attack in the webm, too, not a normal move.

>i cant jump around like mario
):

>it still has the shitty, big and slow bosses
why the fuck can't platinum accept that nobody likes this shit

NO retard that's a half launcher.
A full launcher is a jump because action games decided rether than letting you jump and pursue the enemy yourself they'd just build it into the move.
so mechanically yes a full launcher is a jump and teh fact that it's present means there's no reason or excuse for the missing jump.

Looking good.

but there is a jump, you've seen footage of it in this thread. enemy is in air, jump to it with the jump feature. what's even the problem here

Because the game revolves around the legion and controlling both characters at the same time. The legion is an extension of your character. Pulling yourself to the legion is one of the main ways to start aerial attacks. You complaining that you can't instantly throw out an air attack without any other action is dumb. It's like complaining that you can't instantly use the final move of a combo string (e.g. wicked weaves) without the attacks before it. The mechanics and enemies are designed specifically for this combat system.

Attached: astral chain - fling.webm (800x450, 1.5M)

>NO retard that's a half launcher
except that a full launcher also moves an enemy upwards. which is the primary reason why you would want to use it.
and again there is a jump mechanic in the form of the chainjump. only that it can be only activated when there is an airborne enemy.
thus the only instance where you cannot instantly transition into the air is when there are no airborne enemies present. so the question is: why would you want to transition into the air when there's no enemy there?

oh yeah giving you the positional advantage of simply moving up a bit would be way too OP.
It's much better the game gives you a move that LITERALLY FUCKING TELEPORTS YOU TO THE ENEMY from half the screen away instead.
that's not OP at all like a jump would be. as we all know jumps are the most OP moves in games.

maybe to get on a stair case rather than walking around the fucking thing. little quality of life things like that, that makes games not shit.

so you admit that there's no combat related issue and you have no arguments?

Stop pushing everything to extremes like a slack jawed retard. It doesn't have to be the most OP move in the game, it's simply an advantageous position, so you don't get it for free. You also can't teleport, you can drag yourself to your legion, which itself must be near the enemy, and takes actual damage on hard.

Why would I be?
Same old song and dance with Kamiya's shit.
people over hype it and it sells 101 copies.
Yet it's more people in a thread discussing it instead of buying it.

And people only mention it, is to jack off about how many Plats they have but can't get Gold in a comp fighting game.

>as we all know jumps are the most OP moves in games
funny enough they are since most enemies in these games don't utilize attacks that follow you vertically.
meanwhile a chainjump moves you directly into the enemies hitrange

>oh yeah giving you the positional advantage of simply moving up a bit would be way too OP.
Arm legion lets you float, confirmed OP.

Astral Chain is not directed by Kamiya.

yes there is. there are thousands of situations where you just want to jump. you may just want to get some height to shoot an enemy. warping with the chain would be pointless.

>there are thousands of situations where you just want to jump
how about you name them?
>you may just want to get some height to shoot an enemy
how is that any different from shooting on the ground? combat areas in astral chain (and in most stylish action games) have almost never any verticality and don't have many objects blocking sight between the player and the enemy

A Famitsu nine is pretty much a seven.

There's no way 3H is the easiest in the series.

You can literally save and reload whenever you want in 10, and it resets RNG. So if you miss, get hit, or get a bad levelup you can just do a do-over. And 8 doesn't even have prompted enemies until the final few maps. At least 3H has turrets, some boss type enemies and Gambits to fuck over the safe-tanky strategy. There's also a good few maps with fucky ambushes and double movements that can mess you up.

It's easy, sure. But it's definitely not the easiest. And while there's no Lunatic yet, Hard is decent enough, so Lunatic will be fine.

This is why I'm sad that Fireden removed archiving for Yea Forums and /vg/. It wasn't perfect, but having archives allowed for a small degree of accountability by enabling people to identify and call out ritual shitposters.

>No fucking shit i literally said that
no you said that they did it due to inability of implementing free jumping (which is plain retarded since past plat games have free jumping). i say that they did that because the core design is built with that in mind
>Because godhand is a stylish action game where the player never leaves the ground but still plays with enemies in the air
what? you can interact with enemies in the air in AC too.
>why cant i jump
i mean you can jump towards an airborne or large enemy. so the question is why would you jump in the air when there is no enemy airborne?
so again what do you gain from being able to jump in the air when an enemy isn't airborne?
>*taunt button*
no, a taunt button is not needed to be classified as stylish action. again, how is jumping a necessity for stylish action?

fucks sake your entire argument is retarded since god hand doesn't feature jumping either and yet it's still belongs into stylish action

Yes, so Platinum gets more sales and we get a Wonderful 101 port.

I-I get more unlock points for being cool right?
rent free

I made that example because one of his first arguments was calling the design bad because of the inability to freely use air attacks when the combat and platform sections are designed around using chain jump instead.
And he brings up air combat again It's not that they couldn't make raw jump work, they just want you to use the legion and chain jumps. Its a different game with new mechanics, not DMC or Bayonetta.

Nigga 1 of those is not me and that user isnt wrong either. Look i understand they cant make their W101 mechanic work on the Z axis and that is the actual issue ok? Can we all be friends now? Im done arguing this point to death.

can someone give me a quick rundown on the mechanics? exactly how much control do you have over the legion?
are you essentially playing two characters at once or what?

Damn...

what the fuck are you rambling about? i don't fucking get it.
you can jump in AC, it's just restricted towards airborne/large enemies since jumping outside of that would serve no purpose.
then you decided to bring god hand into the mix for no fucking reason and citing it as a reason for why jumping must exist or else it isn't stylish action or something like that

do we know what the ranking is based on though? because it could solely related to time (def. not damage though since you can get S+ while eating hits)

They really reused some Neir Automata assets here.

AFAIK those are cosmetic and this game is becoming more and more disappointing

From footage we've seen a bunch of score effecting stuff was shown, I remember sync attacks off the top of my head, I'm guessing time, combo, sync attacks, and damage all play a role but im not able to watch a video atm. Someone find that 30 minute video posted yesterday where the developer fought Kyle and got an an S+ and see what the scoring was based on if we really wanna know.
It does look like S+ isn't brain-dead since on a boss fight in that same video he looked like he was playing pretty well and only got an A.

Don't exactly see how a cosmetic reward is worse than the no reward you get in other games for platinums.

No user jumping has never required an enemy in ANY action game with "jumping". What you keep calling jumping is a homing dash. Whats supposed to be happening is the MC yanks the chain to lift themselves towards the enemy. That is not a jump.

>dont understand what orbs or halos are
Me either user... me either

30 FPS in an Action game lolno.

Collecting money isn't any different from collecting experience points, its a number that goes up that lets you get things.

If it really calculates damage then it's definetly screwed up since there was some footage of people playing on ultimate and eating quite a chunk of damage yet still getting S+ alright, let's call it a homing dash. still the question remains on why does the game require a regular jump to be classified stylish action? unless you're not the same user. in that case disregard what i said

yes, just preorderd it
thanks for the reminder

also you can see him using restorative items in the footage too. this is really fucking concerning since it implies that there's no item penalty.
I'm afraid that it's gonna be even more busted than bayo2's ranking

>costumes are disappointing
????
You actually want more stats in the game? The game already has weapon upgrades (for baton) and ability slots on the legions that give all sorts of passive buffs and effects (something like dark souls rings or the skill slots in W101), which are rewards from chests and missions. Some of those achievements give materials that are used for upgrading the baton.

When those exp arent effected by a modifier based on rank i beg to differ. The difference is reward. Those rnemies will die either way.
I can meet you in the middle here. Can i have my legion perform an attack that takes it airborne without an enemy and chain yank? Id settle for that. Why do we have to take away so many options from the player just so AC works. I dont understand that. The best Vergil bully vids are full of whywouldyoueven.jpeg shit that people do just because. Why take that away?

I just wanna be able to unlock shit faster because i performed well. Plain and simple.
>more stats
Well they already fucked up huh? God forbid they double down and comit

>knickerbocker
Sold

>Can i have my legion perform an attack that takes it airborne without an enemy and chain yank?
yes, the game has launchers. see and >Why do we have to take away so many options from the player
what options do you lose though? and how many new options do you gain?

This is the one game you absolutely cannot trust professional reviews on since it's guaranteed they'll all be playing on Unchained (read: game journalist) mode. It won't be an accurate account of the game at all.

>without an enemy

>what do you gain
What have i already lost is a better question

A-Team SHOULD be working on Bayo 3 or Babylon's Fall, but since they've been completely radio fucking silent on both, there's no way of knowing.

>absolutely everyone is saying it's too easy even on the highest available difficulty
>hard mode has to be unlocked
And all my hype is gone.

They're holding their breath. Waiting for impact before they decide what to do.

That's exactly what I think every time I see this game.

Famitsu is historically generous and forgiving. It's the Nintendo Bonus in action.

Famitsu is weeb-shit so it doesn’t count

Yikes. This game is unbased.

>Can i have my legion perform an attack that takes it airborne without an enemy and chain yank?
Maybe sword assault can be used that way, but never seen anyone try. We've haven't seen all the command specials or skills yet.

You can see the legion use it against a small enemy there. I'm sure AC will have it's own ways to exploit the combat that require some testing to find. Stuff like in W101 using lock-on attack as an alternative to jumping to juggled enemies which saved 2 jump limit for launchers. You can't know all the possibilities from preview gameplay.

Every new thing disappoints more and more.

Thank you user best response in the thread. You understand what point im trying to make.

I just came here to ask what's with platniums on and off exclusivity with Nintendo?

Nintendo doesnt mind pimping whores for profit

store.steampowered.com/app/454410/GIGA_WRECKER/
look at the developer for this, nintendo doesn't mind if the game isn't funded by them I guess

Gamespot played on ultimate, still looks like babbymode

Yeah, but you probably are a rich kid who never had contact with the reality or live in a first world country and don't know how fucked up the police is when not everything is perfect. The dude is right. Fuck the police.

Projects funded by Nintendo are Nintendo exclusives.

Nintendo is paying for the development of the exclusive games. That's all.

platinum is an independent dev. they let their games be published by various companies and right now their main go to company is nintendo after sega dropped them

Soundtrack seems great at least

Remember when Platinum went to both Sony and Mircosoft and both told Platinum to fuck off?
Nintendo said yes so they automatically have a better relationship

Not that user but when it came out both Platinum and Sega were not pleased with sales even though it sold the most of all their titles. If they say it didn't meet their expectations then I would consider it to be a commercial failure if you ask me.

I think it's ridiculously upbeat, like, Persona 4 upbeat for a game that takes itself a bit more seriously than Bayo in plot. I don't think it fits the game like the rest of the soundtrack that's been previewed so far.

it didn't break their expectations but it was still their best selling game until automata.
1.35 mil is pretty darn good for a niche game

pretty sure red dead redemption also didn't meet sale expectations on release week.

Most copies were sold after it got a hefty discount.
