Wouldn't be made. No one but Nintendo is willing to fund risky, unconventional games.

Imagine of Sony had any games at all

imagine if nintendo had left platinum to die

It'd be a movie on PS4 and censored like shit on Epic Games store because we all know they'd try and snag it as an exclusive.

That's the problem with console exclusives.

It is a movie though

how exactly is a qte-filled movie game "unconventional" in today's industry?

Nah, you can tell it's blatantly Katsura from the male's design in particular. He's the mangaka for series like I'S, DN2, Video Girl Ai, and Zetman and has been doing some anime character designs like for Garo: Guren no Tsuki and Tiger and Bunny.

>PORTBEGGING this hard

Nintendo was so traumatized by the Gamecube that they'll never make a conventional console again. We're gonna keep getting variations of the Wii that are 1-2 generations behind their competition.

actually play the game retard

At least it gets made, i was really looking forward to that samurai game on ps4 this year.

It's a fucking hack and slash, probably the least unconventional game to come out this year.

I've seen this first hand after finishing the DQXI demo.

General rule is that if the main game underperforms on the console of choice, it usually ends up ported as a definitive edition. Or its sequels go multiplat

Has anyone tried emulating Chains yet?

Won't happen, retard
The IP olis owned by Nintendo

So have fun portbegging for a completely broken version for 8 years

If the game wasn't on the Switch, it wouldn't exist. Only Nintendo is willing to bankroll Platinum at this point.

Snoyfags literally said graphics are more important than good games existing.

Try playing some 60fps games on PC for a while, then go back to your 30 fps trash. The innate urge to puke will answer your question

because high framerate makes action games play better
trading gameplay for grafix is for faggots

no thx. SSB and this game are the most overhyped things i refuse to buy for the switch until they're in the bargain bin. and yes, i don't mind waiting 5 years for that either

Why? At most it adds 1/60th of a second in input latency, which is nothing.

Yes, and all of them (barring two) ended up ported to PC where they run better in every way. Your point?

>performance doesn't effect anything
lmao

Yet you are port begging pathetically for their games.
Like a cuck

Red dead 2? Bloodborne? God of war? Last of us?

Its actually sad to see you consolefags defend garbage framerate and optimization so rabidly. Such a shame you'll never know how good games can truly look and feel

Latency is cumulative. That said, latency isn't necessarily the important factor. High framerate means you get a much higher rate of visual feedback.

>QTE
I see a ton of opportunities for them but the only QTE in the game is the cinematic finish attack that you can do for style points to end a fight. Kamiya's supervision got them the motorcycle sequence but not QTEs or space harrier (that i've seen so far)

Why are you behaving like a sissy?
Does it hurt your little princess eyes?

What? That makes no sense. Whether at 30 fps or at 60 fps, you're reacting to stuff based on the amount of time it takes for you to visually register it. Time is independent of framerate.

Seriously, it doesn't make any difference. I have a PC that is fully capable and I couldn't care less if something is 30fps or 60fps.

I've been on this site this long and the stupidity here never ceases to amaze me.

This but for xenoblade 2, fuck the switch

There's two "mash the button fast" QTEs and a couple of bosses that are finished off by hitting ZL when the light glows.

People who don't play the game think sync attacks are QTEs. I was thinking along those lines until I actually played it.

I might pick it up just because of Masakazu Katsura doing the art.

When can you replay older Files? Is it once you go through the main story?

and yet somehow, xenoblade 2 which drops to 360p/5fps during combat was 2017's best game (in a year where persona 5, nier automata, yakuza 0, botw and odyssey came out). lmao. sonyfags, xfag and pcfag completely and utterly btfo.

>Whether at 30 fps or at 60 fps, you're reacting to stuff based on the amount of time it takes for you to visually register it.
The time it takes to register is much shorter when you're receiving more temporal information. That's a more important factor than input latency.

Any file can be replayed as soon as you finish it. Don't start replaying until you get the axe legion in file 7 I think.

>game is made for switch by nintendo's bankroll
>dude what if it were on other console

Yeah. Hit up the PC in the command room to replay files.

I've been on this site this long and the stupidity here never ceases to amaze me.

30 fps sure better in term of performance but that doesnt mean it looks good, see opera effect on youtube.

Fuck I can't play the game until I get my jig to hack my switch. I have the game available but my switch version is too low to play the game.

At least stand by your portbegging

I play 144fps games on my PC all the time and I have no issues adjusting for 30 fps on consoles.

60 fps is always better, there's no denying it. But sometimes that's not achievable, and that's ok.

Imagine being this butthurt over a Nintendo exclusive

You're talking complete shit. Something moving more smoothly doesn't mean it's more reactable if they both move at exactly the same speed.

>and it clearly effected how the game played and felt beyond "wow so smooth"
Yeah, like what? "wow, so smooth" is literally the only thing it provides.

The gameplay might have been good as well if they didn't cater to the toddler audience.

>The time it takes to register is much shorter when you're receiving more temporal information. That's a more important factor than input latency.

The only frame that matters is the first frame that gives you the visual cue to react to. It doesn't halves your reaction time, it only matters for the first frame, which has a 50% chance of being the same between 30/60 or being one frame late. That's a 17ms difference.

Higher framerate is purely QoL stuff. If you have time to react to shit happening in the game at 60fps, you have time to react all the same at 30. If you think otherwise you're deluded.

How do I get s+ on the first missions Bike part. Just take no damage?

>Something moving more smoothly doesn't mean it's more reactable if they both move at exactly the same speed.
Something moving more smoothly means you're able to determine where and how it's moving much more rapidly. The more information you have, the easier it is to extrapolate. What's so hard to understand?

The fact that Astral chain, a game of good potential chose to cripple itself by becoming switch exclusive is a sad thing regardless of shitposting and portbegging.

It's pretty good so far (~7 hours in). Takes forever to get to the proper game since the first two chapters are introductory like most Platinum games, and you're not running around from fight to fight like Bayo or Vanquish.

Be warned that this is easily the weirdest Plat title to date. Combat is only a small portion of what you do, and its very different from the kind in their standard 3D action games. It's all about positioning and controlling what are basically two different characters at the same time.

youtu.be/zVYQlBvauiM

I don't know myself. I get S+ in some fights, and straight Ds in others, would be helpful if the game told me what I did wrong.

>Be warned that this is easily the weirdest Plat title to date.
nah, that'd be W101. this comes close though, considering it's blending that with their more traditional style

Disagree. TW101 is just taking the same Bayo/DMC structure and turning it on its head. AC has an even stranger combat style in addition to all the case solving and trash cleaning.

There's really nothing quite like this. It's like they wanted to make a Deus Ex game.

It's sad. I'm really enjoying the game, just got into Chapter (File) 7. The threads were full of shitposting before launch but I was hoping there'd be discussion now that's it out, but no one is actually talking about the game. Both threads up abou it are just shitposting OPs. It's like no one bought it and it's just a bunch of shitposters talking about it. It probably bombed. I'm sad.

I wonder if autistic snoys realize review bombing is only promoting this game even more?
Who knew Nintendo's latest IP would cause so much ass devastation on console warriors?

As someone whi also liked those games, I'd say that Astral Chain is a bit different from what you might expect. The combat is a little slower and more focused on positioning and trapping enemies. Your MC only has three weapons (as far as I know, only on Case 5 right now) but that is made up with the Legions you get who have their own movesets and skills. Your Legions are basically part of your arsenal.

As for the level design, it's more hub based with you doing investigations and generally looking for clues. You can aslo talk to and help civilians for side quests and items. The side quests are surprisingly varied and kinda remind me of the ones in Yakuza. I really enjoy it so far and you might, too. It only really gets going in Case 3, though and the game kinda drags in the first couple of hours. When it clicks, it really clicks.

As someone who loves Wonderful 101, it's literally just Bayo/DMC with an overhead camera and you draw shapes to change weapons/attack styles. It's definitely unique and awesome, but it's still the same style of gameplay -- juggling enemies and comboing them to death. Astral Chain is very different. If you go in wanting it to be Bayonetta, you're going to not like it. Your main character is weak as fuck and you need to abuse your legion to do the most in a fight.
Your dodge is especially fucking awful, and one of the things I wish they did steal from Bayo/W101. Your dodge is just so bad it makes you want to play more cautiously.

>game is exclusive to Nintendo platform
>endless shitposting ensues
I don't get it. Is it entitlement? Are you guys that used to gettinf everything that you cry bitch tears when it isn't on your console of choice? I never saw this much crying over Automata being PS4/PC exclusive. It's weird because you guys always say you have the most games, but you act like you're starving and every meal will be your last, and that you'll die if you don't get the next one. Shouldn't you be like, I don't know, distracted by all the vidya? I assume it's there to be played.

Is there any reason for me to hold ZL, or even press R? I've done it in battle and there appears to be no benefit. I was hoping it would do something like allow me to launch enemies in the air oe whatever. I'm only an hour in so far

I'm in the same boat. There are moments where I almost flawlessly defeat enemies in a very good time and get a C and others where I get fucked up relentlessly, to the point where I even have to revive once and get an S+. It's very weird.

>webm shows a cutscene and a "press a to awesome" qte
e

As mentioned above, the game takes forever to really get going. You don't get all your abilities until File 03; ZL and R will probably end up being the most important buttons in the game.

Scoring system is much less clear than their other stuff. Still have no idea what they're grading for combat.

>Who knew Nintendo's latest IP would cause so much ass devastation on console warriors?

It's made worse by the fact that PS4 is dead and snoyfags have had nothing to play all year.

the fact that 99% of all astral chain threads are spent talking about "snoy" and "snoyfags" instead of gameplay really says it all about this "game" (movie).

Hey, I bought it yesterday. I've already started playing it. Truth be told I started out with low expectations, and am pleasantly surprised so far.

You'll probably like this a lot then, it branches a bit more into action RPG than MGR/Bayo with more exploration between combat and the various skills and stuff you can equip, but it's especially a fusion of those three I listed.

Combat can get weird, and like how in Rising you don't have blade mode at the start, it locks off most of your fundamental moveset until you get to the third stage which can make the second stage feel rough and awkward. After that, you get so many more options for attacking, mobility, and general customization that it's way more fun.

Combat ends up very weird, where even though you still have things like Bayonetta's dodge-offset for combos, are rewarded for last-second dodges, and have blade mode and zandatsu from MGR, you have a lot of weird stuff with also controlling the monster chained to you.

Bonus points in setting/aesthetics if you like Kamen Rider or Patlabor.

graphics isn't the games issue, it is the shit police work gameplay loop of do mundane batman detective vision shit every god damn chapter

I agree. I thought a game like this would be right up Yea Forumss alley, seeing that MGR and Bayonetta are so popular here. I even see some Anarchy Regins (an older, multiplayer focused game by Platinum) threads here sometimes. But it seems like this game was just caught in the retarded console war shitposting. It's a shame, really.

Okay Doug, time to take your meds.

Just buy all consoles. Stop being a poor faggot.

>sonyfags COPE so hard hat mentioning their SEETHING is forbidden

I own the console but for some reason I'm not allowed to lower graphical settings for the sake of things that matter like gameplay.

I'm at file 03 and the combat in this game fucking sucks. There's a reason why most of the threads around this game are falseflag port begging and nobody discussing the game itself.

If it weren't for Nintendo, this would have been a fantasy game with magic.

>be in the middle of dodge animation
>get hit regardless
what the fuck is this garbage game, don't the developers understan the meaning of the term "dodge"?

Where can i get cat food in game

>juggling enemies
Juggling enemies in Astral Chain? The MC doesn't really have a launcher and the one that the Legions got seem to be activated at random, so I don't see it as a big focus in the game.
To be fair, I think that isn't really Platinum's fault. I remember hearing that they were mostly responsible for the combat and mechanics and not the presentation and stuff. I could be wrong, though. Transformers Devastation was a budget title and looked WAY better in terms of style. How big was Nier Tomato's budget?

This is reminding me of nier automata. Not liking how simple it is so far. I'm hoping it'll evolve and that this is just a way of easing me in. Only on the second file so far though

In fairness, I see no jaggies here while AC is full of them.

Did you finish that chapter already? There's a reason why people say that it drags in the beginning. I also had the same thought at that time.
Also applies here.

I have a real big issue of them locking areas/chests/content behind story upgrades that force you to replay older chapters consisting of stupid shit like help hobbling crippled npcs walk 10 meters or interviewing people for clues or waiting for fucking traffic to stop so you can cross a crosswalk because you're a cop who can't jaywalk because the law or some shit.

My main problem with the game isn't its art style or 30fps or any of that shit

It just looks really fuckinh shallow. Nier Automata's combat was shallow, but it also wasn't really the focus of the game. That game was built around its unique story and presentation.

Astral Chain looks like Automata's combat with all the interesting story and artistic elements stripped away

Though even with the new dodge, you don't have i-frames for the whole animation. You have to constantly change position based on what the enemy's doing.

Even Platinum fanboys like myself are skipping this one

Wake me up for Bayo 3

seriously though why is this game that's made people snap?

I don't know, so far I like the characters, being a copper peotecting the people, artstyle, music. Only thing I don't like is the enemy design. Seems too basic.

Platimun almost die because no one give a fuck for their games in the ps360 gen, bayonetta, vanquish, anarchy reing, korra, TMNT, transformers. No one sell well.

They were begging for money to make bayonetta 2 and all the publishers say them to fuck off, only nintendo invest some money in that company tio get bayoneta and wonderful 101.

Then bayonetta get reconizion of garbage bin buyers and now "all" love platinum games.

Nintendo Switch Exclusive.

Simple as that. Snoybois gonna Snoy.

It just looks very low quality for a platinum title

Snoyfags got literally nothing, after e3 Sony canceled the next announcement event as well.
So seeing the third highly rated, great switch exclusive in three months fucking wrecks them

When do you get new dodge? I am halfway through the game by this point, and I gave up trying to even dodge, because it simply doesn't work 50% if the time and feels unreliable as fuck.
Makes the combat feel really awful, especially when compared to Platinum's better games.

It's literally all Nierfags seething that Platinum made a console-exclusive game.

easy : Because its a Switch exclusive

>Platinum fanboys
I'm a pretty big Platinum fan and this game is already better than MGR, Madworld, Anarchy Reigns, and every licensed title they've made.

Fucking kek.

Attached: EDNwjHbUYAA4gN_.jpg (1920x1080, 476K)

I was more saying that those elements aren't and shouldn't be the focus, but regardless I find the game gaudy and ugly

At this rate it wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo bought Platinum.

how likely are we to get a Switch Pro guys ?
a home console only Switch with a real controller.
like a real home console with no gimmicks lol.

>the camera really fucked with me in Chapter 5 by trying to focus on enemies that were off screen while I was trying to attack stuff already on my screen
>get so used to moving the Legion with the right stick and using it for the camera control that it fucks with my ability to stay locked on to a single target and therefore have a habit of switching
>the dodge works for a very specific window and I keep spamming it thinking it'll grant me full i-frames
My only issues with the game so far.

here. I've unlocked most of that shit and it doesn't add much at all. With sync attacks all your doing is hitting L2 when the blue glow prompt comes up at the end of a combo or when you get knocked over for some extra damage. Chain jumps are mainly for those awful platforming sections. There doesn't seems to be little reason to use them in combat. Just one attack that does little damage and you can't combo off it or anything. The new dodge made the game a bit smoother but it still feels pretty bad. Like it has some kind of input lag or something (though that could just be from the framerate).

What is an astral chain and why do you enslave a robutt-thing with it

How do you get S+ on this fight? Is only way to never get hit for the no damage taken bonus?

Nintendo didn't deny the idea of a Switch Pro being in the works. Seems like they just want Lite out for the holiday season and I see them talking about one sometime before or during E3 next year.

The dodge that you automatically get after waking up from your coma. That can apparently be upgraded even further.

Again, the combat isn't to be about testing reflexes or pulling off combos. Knowing when to rush enemies vs. keeping your distance, and trying to manage both you and your legion at the same time are much more important.

I'm only 6 hours in and can say that it doesn't play like Automata at all.
I also prefer AC's presentation. Automata only really had great music, the graphics and character models are pretty ugly. The Amusement Park is the only standout location in that game.

Male is definitely canon. He's the silent protagonist

A plat title getting all 9's from the retards who review games is a huge neon red flag.

Good action games get called too hard and get 7-8s at best. You're just confirming the impressions I got from previews/guides/streams: that it's simple and easy and basic as fuck, and more concerned with what look to be almost xenoverse-like abilities than reflexes and combat utility.

I expect more from a plat game.

You know if you have a strong enough PC you'll be able to play this in like a year and a half. If your PC can't run Yuzu you don't actually care about power and you shouldn't be complaining.

user, the character that you pick is always silent.

cope

Dude, the artstyle is specifically Masakazu Katsura's Zetman but with cops. One of the options for the male cop is literaly Jin from Zetman.

Out of touch. If you are too old, you'd remember that except for specific games on the SNES, most games on the 4rth gen were on 60FPS and all the arcade games were 60FPS. Same thing with almost every japanese gameboy game post colour and advance. It took a dive during the 64 and PSX era because the 3D technology was new and raw back then but the whole
>MUH 30 FPS are ackshully like 60 FPS
started with Jewbox 360 and Microjew wanting to flood the console space and fuck everything up.

What the fuck did you just call me?

It's funny how your sibling becomes more developed than the main character. So if you pick the female (like most cucked western men) the brother becomes more of a character than your silent MC.

I shall, by making this the first platinum game I skip.

I'm at file 3 and I just got a new dodge animation compared to before.

Does that mean that Ninja Gaiden Black, Bayonetta 1 and 2, DMC3 and DMC5 are shit too, then? They're all hovering around the 90 mark on Metacritic. What you said only really applies to games like God Hand and Wonderful 101.

Whoever's art style it is, it's horrendously ugly. The clashing colors and neon backgrounds threaten to give me a siezure

Is this the 3 day coma after losing your captain/papa or a coma after that?

I never got what makes Platinum Games so popular when they did a few fuck ups there and here and some of what people consider good isn't even THAT good

Vanquish is just okay, not bad by any means but also not a game to lose their minds for

Bayonetta is a good series, Astral Chain is good and so is NiER Automata, but Transformers Devastation was okay and TNMT and The Legend of Korra were very mediocre

Star Fox Zero was horrible in all senses

I know I left some good to decent games out, but I feel like people overhype this studio for some reason, specially Kamiya, still im wondering how that Babylon's Fall game will turn out

>metacritic

Well Star Fox Zero wasn't really designed by them. I mean they handled the art style and all that ( I have no fucking clue why they had them do it) but Nintendo essentially developed the gameplay.

They admitted that you are retarded? Why are you in every thread constantly crying about Sony?

He directed RE2, DMC, Viewtiful Joe, and Okami. He's earned his reputation even if it wasn't mainly with Platinum.

Maybe that might be because he never directed a bad game before and is responsible for Bayonetta, RE2, Viewtiful Joe and fucking Devil May Cry?

Why are you trying to deflect and not answer the question?

Don't know why people credit this to Platinum. It's way more of a Yoko Taro game.

>Vanquish

>leaves off TW101

The only really overrated game they've made is MGR. They're still one of the best studios making games today.

I know Kamiya did a lot of good games and he deserves to be praised, but I feel part of why he is so popular here is because his behavior on social media rather than what he did in the past

I hope the best for Kamiya because he's very talented, it doesn't mean Platinum Games doesn't fuck up from time to time

>butthurt nintentranny confirmed

>actually admitted that he goes to every thread crying about sony
I bet you are virgin in real life too.

>game had to be designed around 30fps according to platinum
Imagine if they could have used 60. It would have probably been an entirely different game since they could have pushed the boundaries more. Although in the end it's irrelevant because Nintendo is the only one willing to give them money for the most part.

The combat in this game is so bad, holy shit.
I can't get used to the controls at all, because each button seems to be mapped to 20 different things. Having to fight against the controls while also having to play as 2 characters at the same type makes this game plain unfun.
What were they thinking?

You are also mad that Nier didn't come out for the Switch.
inb4 I'm mad over Astral Chain, I'm playing it

you just proved his point, Nincel.

>Astral Chain is deeper than Anarchy Reigns
Not even remotely

Do Nintendo fans never play any games not on the Switch? This is just fucking embarrassing

You proved my point, snoyfag.

9s and 10s are paid reviews, 7s and 8s are bonus, 5s and 6s are blunders. This board is beyond mentally ill. It's a fucking sanitarium.

i see you haven't played Astral Chain

No I agree with you there. Personally I'm not a fan of nier automata, its combat leaves a lot to be desired. And yeah I heard Transformers sucked. I think most of their games are good but they've had some stinkers in the past

dropped this trash after not even 3 hours of play, bayo 3 when?

Most, if not every character in Anarchy Reigns had the exact same combo strings. Sure, they all had different attributes and usages but I didn't find the combat itself that deep or thoughtful, even though I still really enjoyed the game. To be fair, I only played through the campaign multiple times, since the multiplayer was already dead by that point. Does the game open up when playing against other people? I'm genuinely curious.

I really hate the controls for the slash thing. I always get mind flooded when trying to use it in combat. Keep forgetting you have to hold the stick to rotate.

>I'm bad at the game so the game is bad!
Oh boy, we're back with this gain! This really is the Switch's Wonderful 101.

Nintendo helped revive clover by giving them a chance with madworld. There wouldnt even be a platinum without kiddie baby games nintendo and their little wii.

>no juggling
Yes there is
>no offset
Yes there is

Nier's combat may have had more basic face button combo strings, but this is taking me longer to feel like I've mastered it. There's a bunch of important stuff you simply can't do or will do wrong if you're just pushing all the buttons as fast as possible. With Automata you had the whole game figured out once you learned how to dodge and how to aim your pod.

>>no offset
Stopped reading there. Try playing the game first, faggot.

>bloated
This is one of the leanest combat systems in recent memory, honestly. It's completely free of Itsunoshit like superfluous combos and air combat and focuses more on fundamentals.

Yeah, imagine if the other consoles had good games.

Besides the juggles and unique KW combos (my favorite being Big Bull's KW cancel loops), actual vs play has oki (flip up vs roll up vs delayed), team attacks, abilities like lean extender, etc.

Just like Bloodborne, right?

Not that user, but what do we mean by offset for this game?

I wish the game would get a remaster, port or even a sequel to see all the stuff you mentioned in action. Do you have any videos that showcase 'em?

Imagine not owning a Switch in 2019.

So wrong it's hilarious

Dodge offset means the ability to continue an attack combo after dodging by holding the attack button and releasing it after the dodge, which you can definitely do.

I found the cat in the first level and beat it but its not showing up in the safeplace? I even got the order for it

How do you even interact with cats? I found the one in the third level but I couldn't do anything once I killed its owner.

I know what it means, I just wondered if it had a unique process. Not sure if it's occurred to me to hold attack while dodging yet.

Bloodborne looks good though, not like games on Shitch.

Why do we boil shit down to "muh grafix" or "muh framerate" or "why does (console) have (game)?"
Console wars are the absolute worst thing to ever happen to gaming. Ever.
Who gives a shit about games if all we ever do is complain about how it looks or what platform its on.

Replace the Switch with a Vita and that would be the perfect place to chill.

So is there a tailet in every level or only certain ones?

This really doesnt work though. If a sony funded game from the current generation didnt exist a company like capcom or konami would have slightly adjusted their release schedule to fill the hole with a similarly structured game. If uncharted didnt exist we would have a couple of extra tomb raider titles, etc.

I said it was lean, as in their isn't a bunch of extraneous shit like combos and abilities that only exist for style points.

Depth comes from how many decisions a player has to make that matter. The game forces you to make those in regards to your positioning (can't get too close or you'll get bodied; can't stay back or you won't do damage) and input (difficulty of controlling two characters at the same time), i.e. fundamentals.

How do I stop getting hit? Even when I perfect dodge the enemies follow up attack immedietly hits me and I get ganked by 5 enemies

Stop eating cheetos while playing.

Let your legion do a lot of the fighting while you stay back with the pistol; only go in when you aren't surrounded. Tying up enemies with the chain will let you take out medium sized chimeras quickly if both you and your legion back attack it, but you can also just leave them there to give you more breathing room.

Chain jumping is good for getting yourself out of being surrounded.

That'll help but it's really anything that adds points in the result screen.
Backstab, headshot, perfect calls, group binding, sync-attacks, etc.
There are no penalties like Bayo and DMC, you just don't get as big a point reward and those can be made up for.
