>requires some NVIDIA released in 2013 to play
Are you kidding? The game looks like it was made in Game Maker and I need a fucking NVIDIA to play? I haven't upgraded my pc since 2012 because I just play 3d vidya in consoles. Guess I won't play this one.
River City Girls
The power of Unity
Just play it on console then you tard.
I don't have modern consoles. I haven't finished my library of PS3 games bc of college. I even have some Wii and Wii U games in my backlog
>consoles
>2019
>$30
How long is the game?
Does this game have jumping attacks, or is it ground only?
Stop playing cuckhold games
you can even grab enemies in the air and throw them
A few hours.
Has anyone ripped any of the art for all the stores n stuff?
Its not their issue then. Looks like you are just a lazy broke ass nigger.
It has a jumping down kick that enemies can knock you out of by punching forwards when you're above them.
>Its not their issue then.
it is when your game is sprite-based but you can't play it on toasters because you're using an unnecessarily badly configured engine
>mfw seeing the shills go into full panic mode last thread because everyone knows the game is bad now that it's out and has been cracked
>mfw every line of dialogue in the game
Is it that bad? Last time I played a Wayforward game I was also cringing
>I'm waiting so I can buy this new chapter of this manga I'm reading
>LMAO I DON'T KNOW A SINGLE WORD YOU JUST SAID TEEHEE!!!!!!!
The writing is cringe and the ending was the worst thing I've seen from wayforward
I played the Shantae games and the dialogue was nowhere near as bad. RCG is just "ha ha us ironic weebs right fellas" where every conversation is Misako saying she'll punch someone, Kyoko being stupid as fuck and being confused by everything, and everyone else taking one gag and running it into the ground. All of this is exacerbated by the abysmal voice acting.
So that leak about the girls not being Kunio and Ricky's girlfriends was real?
It's awful, doesn't help that 90% of the cast are youtubers either, you have Jacksepticeye trying his best to hide his super strong Irish accent while saying shit like "and I'll pay you HANDSOMELY!!!!!!!! you know, because I'm handsome haha.... get it?" (this isn't even a joke, this is nearly word for word a line in this game)
Yes
>"ha ha us ironic weebs right fellas"
I hate that
I hate that instead of taking influence from japanese culture and media, they just try to take it for themselves and make it ironic
I'm a turbo weeb and I really hate that culture of fakeness and ahegao t-shirts because it shows embarrassment through humor.
I'm so tired.
>>People falling for the joke ending
>doesn't help that 90% of the cast are youtubers either
can't get mad because I love Ross and I want him to fuck me
Yes. Not him but that's not even what bothers me about the ending, I felt like that could've been a great bonus ending to the game, it's just the way it's written that makes it awful. You meet Mami and Hasebe, they say "you were only their boyfriends in one game that didn't even get released in the US, how obscure is that", you beat them up, they say "fine you can be their girlfriends", you jump out of a window and land in a shower room where RIki and Kunio are, they don't know who you are, and then Kyoko and Misako get pissed and punch them into the sky and it immediately ends. It wraps up way too quickly and the delivery is so goddamn awkward that it just feels like the bad joke that it is.
Then what's the true ending?
>they say "you were only their boyfriends in one game that didn't even get released in the US, how obscure is that"
>and then Kyoko and Misako get pissed and punch them into the sky
>that outdated anime humor and ironic 4th wall breaking
At least JSE ATTEMPTED to act, even if it was bad, he genuinely did try to mask his Irish accent with it only coming out with certain words like "DARK ARTS" and shit. Way better than Arin's basic dudebro voice for Billy
This is the author, so what else would people have expected?
do you think she played her free copy that he sent her?
>JSE
Literally who? I don't know these bargain bin hacks by name, who was the character?
Also all the passion in the world doesn't make up for a lack of skill.
i bet xhe didn't even redeem it
even though I am what Yea Forums would consider a sjw at least I know I'll never be this cringy and beta
Anons in the other threads said it was the basic ass ending of saving them, but you had to finish the game in Hard mode to get it
JackSepticEye(Irish dude with green hair), he played Godai.
>I played the Shantae games and the dialogue was nowhere near as bad
>Ret-2-Go
>Bolo, period
Omg pc users never stop fucking complaining about everything, and most of the time they just pirate the games anyway or cheat in online multiplayer. Literally the worst userbase.
>can be pirated on the consoles too
game's shit, bro
>that weird he-man parody
everything about shantae writing is bad and that user should just kill himself
>Anons in the other threads said it was the basic ass ending of saving them, but you had to finish the game in Hard mode to get it
Supposedly that wasn't true either. The hard mode just changes the final bosses to the other girlfriends. I really hope I'm wrong, but the ending cutscene is literally the same as in normal mode.
>adachi-poster won in the end
Based
What's the point of this pretending to be retarded shit? Why do you do this?
That's hard to believe if no one is showing video evidence. Damn it.
>runkachunk somehow managed to be the best VA in the game
Why's the guy trying so hard for her to like him.
The woman clearly does not give a single shit.
she's an artist that he likes and he's going into this conversation with the girl already hating the game he made.
>Spider boss's attacks have no invincibility on hit
>Meaning the threads are a one shot kill since it combos into itself.
All the videos from the game are right in the game data folder
The only ending video is the one that was told
There's no "proper ending" video
That or it's only dialogue.
05 is the shit ending
Bolo is just there to be eternally cucked.
Constantly surrounded by beautiful women who don’t like him.
The normal ending is beating the final boss and saving them, the Mami & Hasebe ending you unlock after you break all 25 statues in the game. I don't think hard mode has anything to do with it.
It's comparative, user. I didn't say Shantae's dialogue was good, I just said that RCG's is far worse.
>Only person who can say the characters' names properly is the one who spent years going by "Rina-chan"
Makes sense I guess.
Ok, but how’s the gameplay?
If I buy this can I expect Scott Pilgrim levels of quality when I play with my brother, or is it terrible?
>Ret-2-Go
Quite possibly one of the shittiest attempts at coining a catchphrase.
Nothing screams success more than desperate self-deprecating humour. God I should remember to try not to act like this in my daily life as well, really puts into perspective how pathetic it is.
They aren't, they do juggle you for potentially a fuck ton of damage but they're not one shot kills at all. Garbage boss either way, all of the bosses suck. I'd honestly and unironically rather fight the crappy infinite priority loopable bosses of Final Fight or something than this shit, they may be the game's worst part by far but at least they're over in no time and have enough randomness to make it exciting.
>Ending makes the entire game meaningless
>Also makes it so Misako and Kyoko were either pumped and dumped or just psychos who self-inserted as their girlfriends
I mean shit, even Double Dragon had a better ending
>hurr durr they should write their own engine from scratch
Fuck off kike
Between that and the zombie ads fucking running to hit me whenever I'm trying to redirect her pin is where I decided to refund this shit.
it's got a million problems, is super easy to cheese, and there's a clear lack of polish in it that makes the whole experience mediocre
But according to all the files and game data is out in the open, can even see the cutscenes. Meaning there is no "saving them" ending.
I enjoy anime, but fuck me if anime fans aren't the fucking worst man. Everything I like has a shit fandom.
It's not terrible but it has some flaws
So what did she not like about the game?
I assume she’s gonna claim sexism even though it’s about tough girls beating up thugs.
didn't they literally do that for HGH
The biggest flaw for casual bro-op is that enemies have too much HP, take too long to stand up (a bit over 2 seconds) and have instant wakeup attacks so you can't stand on top of them as they're waking up, leading to a stop and start kind of gameplay loop. If those aren't massive deal breakers then there's some mindless fun to be had.
unity is bad, game maker, construct, anything is easier for 2d games
It was unity iirc
>There's no "proper ending" video
I knew the creator was an asshole, but I was willing to let that slide as long as the game was good. Fuck me. Welp, I guess I'll be saving money then.
>but fuck me if anime fans aren't the fucking worst man
Those are ironic weeaboos, something way bad than the common weeaboo.
Does the ending change if you beat the game with Kunio/Riki?
Do they at least get new dialog for bosses and the like?
>jumps into an anime game and expecting good gameplay & dialogue
Its catered to the lowest common denominator, incels, trannies and cucks, which combined is your typical anime poster
They legit killed me in a single attack. My health bar just melted away
>The Grumps are in it.
Hard pass.
where's the porn?
Beat em ups are pretty much 3D games though
Enemy recovery period is too long so you're waiting a lot.
Ok, so if it’s between this and spice and wolf vr, which would you go with?
>Ok, but how’s the gameplay?
Incredibly basic and with bad hitboxes. Enemies cheat by being able to block attacks from either direction when the player can't and having instant wake-up attacks that force you to move away from them or block making aggressive play difficult, ground stomp attacks randomly fail to work properly as does the assist attack. Some enemies like the pompadour yankees have way too much health for how simple they are and rooms just have you kill one wave of enemies and then another wave of the same enemies shows up before you can move on, but unlike what another user said most rooms did let you skip them without needing to clear all enemies. What did annoy me was that enemies would constantly spawn in to other rooms so you can't really just clear enemies and then look at stuff peacefully when they're gone. Also the parry pushes enemies outside of your attack range which is fucking retarded.
I gave up a bit after the first boss, I can't see it being good when the opening was so shit.
unity, unreal and the like aren't really necessary for 2d games, in fact they're quite bad at it. There are a million other, even free, engines they could have used
they very clearly didn't test the game, that's all there really is to say. There are blatant design oversights and just bad design all over this game.
Like what? For research purposes
so is this better or worse than rcr underground
You can either:
>Buy the River City Girls game with shit hit detection, cringe dialogue and a joke ending for your disappointment
or
>Buy Streets of Rage 4 done by the same animation studio behind Lastman
It’s mean to appeal to both incels AND trannies? Aren’t they kinda on opposite ends of the spectrum?
Wut? You're going to have to simulate the z axis either way so why not go all the way and just use a 3D engine
Hibari may be the most annoying boss I had to fight in years.
works on my machine
It's better than RCRU, but that really isn't saying much. That game was hot fucking garbage,
or pirate and play both because they're both short beat em ups
You think that after the ending they just went and had a gangbang with all the guys they beat up just to get some satisfaction out of wasting their time?
The zombie adds go down in one heymaker, bitch nigga.
That's only the manga scenes dude, it doesn't have anything that isn't presented like that.
SOUL
Godot and construct I've heard good things about.
I'm not a game dev though so only have superficial knowledge on this.
>tfw I backed it
I just wanted some rcr with online multiplayer, is that really so much to ask
You posted something completely unrelated to anything I said, so good job with that.
>lvl 23
>still fighting the same enemies you fight at level 1
>literally no changes were made to them judging by this webm
...that has nothing to do with what he posted though.
>Yea Forums's waifu game ended up being a shit.
Didn't see that coming.
Feels much slower than SP.
So pretty much Misako and Kyoko are social outcasts with wild assumptions about who's their boyfriends.
So does that mean they are /ourgirls/?
I never had problem with hitboxes outside elevation stuff.
Anime games often have good dialogue and gameplay when they're not made by western studios being ironic.
How does it compare to phantom breaker? I really want a decent brat em up on switch that I can play with my brother and nothing has been good so far
Don't feel bad bro I did too
ive seen you shills on the board for days but never checked what the fuck this was, it's just a shitty muh pixel art beat em up with what looks like a story cobbled together from white girl tweets?
So they’re sociopaths?
Yes.
reminder that god hand is still the only beat em up that's actually worth playing
It's typical wayforward missing every ounce of nuance from the originals.
And what the fuck were they thinking with that price? L
wtf is lastman
I didn't think Scott Pilgrim was very good but I definitely enjoyed that more than what I played of this.
Oh also
>Bunch of locked doors in the school you can't open
>When you beat Misuzu at the end you get the key to those doors and then have to go back to open them
What the fuck is the point of this needless backtracking? It's not like the school rooms connect to anything else. Wait, do they? The map doesn't show them doing so, but I guess there could be a teleporter or something.
Kaori was the only one that did nothing wrong.
She just wanted to hang.
It's a bad 2D beat'em up being sold for twice as much as it should be, relying heavily on the visuals and the voice cast of ecelebs like the Game Grumps and JackSepticEye to sell copies.
Let's put it this way, how much emotional investment do you have in supporting this company and this team? If it's significant, then you might as well support them while not expecting any reward. If you have no investment, this isn't really a worthy venture.
What the fuck is the point of the shitty open world, forcing you to unlock basic moves, dumb sidequests and other rpg elements? It's all garbage.
You can console yourself by saying "At least it's not Mighty No. 9"
You aren't missing much. Just pick up Capcom Beat'em-up Bundle and Ninja Saviors, when it comes out.
I dunno... I like Shantae, and I know a few people at wayforward I’d like to support, but that’s about it. I’ll probably pass then.
Nah tons of Capcom ones are worth playing, God Hand's a great game and all but the defensive counter based gameplay gets old.
>lusting after other men
Of course not.
youtu.be
This is fucking awful m8.
And you'll be able to get all of those for the same price as this pile of dog shit.
Not him but it's a lot better than phantom breaker, but it does have the same problem of one button being mapped to different actions that ends up causing problems.
Making the game last longer than Steam's refund threshold
To bloat play time so you think it's actually worth thirty fucking dollars.
Beat'em ups are a niche genre. Anyone who's into it has already played the games.
I DID dodge that bullet at least
No, it catered to ironic weebs that watch dubbed anime on cable TV, who are lower than incels, trannies, and cucks.
Pretty much the best thing western animation has offered in the past ten years.
Think Battle Tendency meets Hellboy
Wayforward should have gone full SJW then and made them lesbians in the end
PB at least had online co-op
You just want to beat it off to Yuri, don't you?
I never got to play phantom breaker for too long so I can't really say. We just got to abobo and the gameplay seemed to pick up a bit, but the most glaring things people are saying about the enemies are right. Way too much health and take way too long getting up makes it feel like an annoying game of red light/green light sometimes.
Thanks, that’s a good point of reference for me.
It was patched in after release and was so bad, the patch that added it had to be rolled back. Supposedly it works now but I haven't gone back and tried it.
Phantom Breaker is fucking terrible so it would be hard to be worse than that.
RCG is worse.
yeah it's still bad, but he gets some kudos for making an attempt at masking his thick irish accent, even if he fails at times.
>RCG is worse.
Now I know you're shitposting.
It almost worked but they forgot steam DRM so you can just copypaste the files, refund it and keep playing it. Fuck this bloated RPG shit, so sick of it.
Much better music too.
I didn't mind the field theme, and even enjoyed some of the NOIZE songs.
But seriously what the fuck were they thinking with the boss themes in RCG? Awful cacophonic shit.
I at least liked PB enough to finish it once and play a little more with a different character, that's far more than I can say for RCG.
>Much better music too.
Is this what we're doing now? Pretending an older mediocre beatem up is better than it is to shit on the new thing? RCG is the better game in every category, save for not having a jp audio track.
>no online co-op
Instantly pirated. I was already on the fence on buying it because of all the cuckshit but if I could have played this with my friends online I'd have to buy it but now there's literally no reason not to pirate this game.
He said the game was shit, not that it didn't run, zoomer.
The boss themes are just forgettable and Hasebe & Mami's one is actually good, the bad part of RCG is the fucking vocal themes. Why these fucks have such a boner for Cristina Vee I'll never know.
Tell me how it's better so I can destroy you with LOGIC and FACTS.
The music was kino.
The story wasn't anything special, but it sure as hell wasn't this cringefest
I feel so let down by RCG
Yeah I thought PBB was better than RCG, what of it? I enjoyed RCG quite a bit, but I enjoyed my time with PBB more.
>I hate that instead of taking influence from japanese culture and media
Any examples on how to do it right? Just curious
Lurk moar, newfag
Are you serious?
RCG music is nothing worth writing about
I find the pixel art has that modern indie look where they just say "fuck shading" and use flat colors for everything. People had this shit perfected on the SNES, this kind of pixel art is fucking lazy.
>Wayforward should have gone full SJW then and made them lesbians in the end
No, that would have been even worse and a huge slap in the face to longtime fans of the series.
Well it's not like there's really any reason to play this more than once, if that.
WE'LL TAKE THE WORLD ON
fight n rage is better
If you note the last played date you'd figure I can hardly remember it and couldn't really tell you. I can just say I enjoyed it enough to finish it once, and RCG I couldn't even stand to play for half as long, ergo I must have felt that RCG was worse.
>spend all day playing vidya
>wonder how RCG threads are on Yea Forums
>fully of people shitposting who either haven't played the game or played just a few minutes to say they at least played some to justify their shitposting
lmao
In other news, my nigga riki is fun.
I really like the pixel art, although the mix of low-res spritework and high-res effects (like the stars), shadows under the characters, and UI elements always looks like shit. I just wish the game itself was as good as it looks.
I fucking hate the attempts at humor since Risky's Revenge.
thread full of unironic boomers who failed to realize beat em ups evolved and moved out of 2d pixelshit and they have actual mechanics now

>I will write off all complaints as shitposting and instead of challenging any of them I will just say that the game is fun
Ok.
From now on my headcanon is this is misako's mom
And PB's is even more forgettable.
That's the same image, man.

Dexter's Lab kaiju and mecha stuff. PPG also uses Kaiju and mecha in fun ways, not to mention the main girls are inspired by cute but violent anime characters. Both clearly influenced but not ripping off the ideas. Not to mention Sym Bionic Titan as another show where Genndy takes influence on anime.
This is the first example I can think of.
For more serious stuff that still uses the artstyle of anime and its serialized storytelling there's Avatar, that takes its asian cultural influences very seriously without being cringy like most weeb media.
>Text is tied to voice acting
>Can't advance text manually even after setting voices to 0, have to just wait while everything advances automatically or skip the entire scene
Hey hey RCG does have mechanics, they implemented Youtube eceleb VAs ok. That's the core mechanic. "influencer interaction"
We already had this discussion but without your exaggerated autism, go away.
You might as well skip all the cutscenes.
Oh gosh, I guess I better waste my time refuting all those inane hot opinions that amount to nitpicking.
Nah, I'll just keep playing and enjoying it. It has problems, but over all it's a good game. I can feel that way because I'm not looking for things to shitpost with like some people on Yea Forums. I honestly believe the majority of posters here don't even play vidya anymore and just want to tear things down.
HGH was in Unity so it's what the team knows. If they switched engines it would have taken more time and money. Just to bend over for poorfags like OP.
m'ladies got a chuckle out of me but then the sentence went on and made it unfunny again
>has been cracked
How do you crack something that doesn't have anything to crack?
Part of the marketed appeal of this game was literally the top of the line VA work though user.
out of all the river city girls, which one is the river titty girl?
>HGH was in Unity
well, I don't care at all for shantae games so I never knew
i watched the first episode on youtube
the animation is like flash animation tier and it's like 2 movements per shot
i like the character designs and all but that flash animation style is doodoo
ill give it a proper shot though
thanks for the info
Skip them, you're really not missing out on much other than epic writing and 4th wall haha so funny jokes.
Fuck that bitch.
>but then the sentence went on and made it unfunny again
This encapsulates the writing in general, they can't just let a joke be, they have to push it further and be ironic about it because they're too scared to actually write something earnestly in case people don't like it.
>the top of the line VA work
this one
also, what did she mean by this?
>the best thing western animation has offered in the past ten years
then the west is lost.
>they stole Kyo's 707 Shiki Oni Yaki
What a bunch of frauds.
video games, user.
She actually meant this
I played the game for 4 hours and I can tell you it's awful.
>Every single enemy is easy as balls to cheese, which is actually good because without this you have to deal with awful hitboxes, instant wake up attacks, and just boring enemy designs
>music is boring and vocal songs have no energy, songs all blend together making no point of this game stand out
>there is no reason for this game to be open world
>the story is awful and writing is worse
>blatant design oversights are present like ground pound attacks like in the Misuzu fight having vertical hitboxes(typically a ground pound suggests you have to jump, but they made it so you still take damage even if you jump which is poorly communicated and is considered bad design)
>lack of variety with enemy types, in a webm posted earlier in this thread you see enemies that you fight in the first area of the game still being used in later areas
there's blatant issues with this game, and writing it all off because "it's all shitposting" is ridiculous.
I told you faggots that this is what this shit was going to be just from the trailers. EVERYTHING shown about this game gushed soi and ironic weeb vibes.
There's a lot of japanese business women in the game. It makes my pp hard.
Yes user, Kyo is from a videogame.
>KEKQUEENS THE GAME

Can someone explain why is this game known? First time I hear about it but apparently everyone heard about it.
>Youtubers are in it
Is the game good or not, Yea Forums?
I will never take anything/v/ has to say seriously. Video games are fun.
honestly RCG looks like the game I always wanted to make in terms of certain mechanics and aesthetics but it's frustrating to read the dialogue
Shut up fag
I don't trust Yea Forums so it's probably good fun.
When they pushed hard on the youtube VA thing, this game started feeling more and more like Asagao Academy.
>DEADLY PREMONITION
Absolute kino game and one of the best games ever made, so saying that something is worse than deadly premonition is not really a good argument.
The show had to cut costs and it needed a kickstarter to finish production; but it does have a lot of sakuga to make up for it and the OST is great
Just pirate it for free, thanks faggots
Probably another person who has no clue what SNK is.
Its not actually pixels its mixels retard. Pixel art isn't actually processed the way it used to anymore. Those are actually high res sprites made to look like pixels.
>unironic 4th wall breaking
just awful
What does that have to do with what he said?
>op is trying to play new games on a toaster
>gets upset when it doesn't work
Fucking retard what the fuck is this thread.
>beat first level
>completion: 16%
jesus.
You should buy several copies of it just to help the devs out
Maybe I will!!
>awful hitboxes
Works on my machine.
>blatant design oversights
The example you used, the vfx on her ground pound surrounds her, it's not just a shockwave on the floor. Apparently it was too subtle though since you missed it. Or you're just dumb and blaming the game for your lack of awareness.
>lack of variety with enemy types
There's 6 areas in the game and each one ads at least 1 new enemy type to the mix. It starts with students, then adds cops and luchas, then the whip girls, then the terminator faggots, hammers, and finally yakuza. iirc.
The west can't make good games
Good to see the faggot shills for this game get BTFO hard
see
Get a girlfriend and stop blaming bogeymen for your own failure as a man.
Pretty average. Best thing about it is some alright combat but its kinda bloated and pretty much everything about the story and characters suck.
You could read the thread, but I personally didn't like it. I had a lot of issues with shitty hitboxes and found the gameplay to be braindead and slow as fuck for no good reason. The dialogue is just plain bad, like the kind of shit you wouldn't expect on an 80s saturday morning cartoon. I don't like the phrase "ironic weeb" but this is one of those times where I feel that is the kind of person this game was made for. The entire story is like something cooked up by a guy that unironically loves watching the dubbed version of Sword Art Online on toonami and does romcom fanfiction.
It's also pretty short, I'd question purchasing it at half the price they're asking. It's okay for a pirate if you want to get your cringe on.
On autistic shitposter made it his mission to shit on the game whenever mentioned.
I can play a lot of new games as long as they're 2D though
Hell, last few months I finished Celeste, Iconoclasts, Momodora 4 and The Messenger and had lots of fun. Waiting for the last campaign of Shovel Knight.
it's got blatant design flaws and they very clearly didn't bother polishing a lot of things, also combat is super easy to cheese to a point where it's really boring.
It's fucking terrible
the previous thread tore this trash game apart
>voice acting is shit
>dialogue is cringe
That was obviously going to be the case with another WF game, but can we talk about how fucking SLOW the gameplay is?
>The example you used, the vfx on her ground pound surrounds her, it's not just a shockwave on the floor. Apparently it was too subtle though since you missed it. Or you're just dumb and blaming the game for your lack of awareness.
can you repeat your post in english?
I just feel sorry for the artists who poured their heart and SOUL into this game only for everyone else involved to ruin it.
No. Eat my spic ass, puto
only because the game was being shilled so often, and even then I doubt it was the same person each time(though the guy who posts the adachi image every time was probably the same person every time)
If you follow some youtube personalities, you'd have heard about the game, and since some of the VAs are decent and they marketed on the involvement the game expanded outside of its niche following.
If they had stuck to this it would have been "fine" because no one would have expected anything. But of course they had to go out of their way to lump in names like ArcSys so now people started to have expectations. Things went south from there.
The slow gameplay is no fucking joke, it kills the experience for me.
Everyone is better off spending their money on Azur Lane Crosswave or Dead Premonition Origins for the switch than this west cuck garbage
wayforward are embarassing
The dialogue is fucking terrible
yeah, it's pretty good. It's the first semi known release of sept so it's getting targeted for shitposting. That's not to say it doesn't have its problems, but you know they're pretty minor when shitposters are homing in on the game having youtubers voicing shopkeepers to drag the game over.
I hate this shit so much, why is everything ironic?
THIS IS VIDEO GAME DESIGN 101 HOW DID THEY FUCK THIS UP.
You mean the youtubers?
that boss is terrible, seems like they get worse each time
Youtubers were part of the group that ruined it.
I hope you contentfags are happy with your 4 hours of backtracking, shitty fetch quests, unnecessary rpg elements and completely generic enemy encounters not one of which is memorable. You faggots are the cancer killing action games.
It's just okay. It obviously has issues, but it's not as terrible as people are making it out to be. It's not as good as the fans insist it is either.
>but you know they're pretty minor when shitposters are homing in on the game having youtubers voicing shopkeepers to drag the game over.
But that's not the problem in the game user. That's literally the only part of the game that has a bit of personality to it.
>only because the game was being shilled so often
God forbid people who like beatem ups make threads about a new one coming out in a short time frame
>but sometimes they would be daily!
Cry me a river, faggot. if you can put up with hourly smash threads, you can handle on and off threads for an upcoming game.
WayForward's entire catalogue is of fucking this up.
>copy the manga scene from FLCL
>don't even use the same style of animation
vimeo.com
>Compile Heart
user please, RCG is a disappointment but that's no excuse to shill actual kusoge.
DP has shit gameplay but at least the story makes up for that.
>unnecessary rpg elements
The Scott Pilgrim game?
>t. the tranny faggot who's been spamming Yea Forums with river city shill threads for three months straight
we won you lost faggot
brb, loading the game up to prove you wrong.
How does Japan feel about this trash heap
Its another subverting expectation = good writing and breaking 4th wall at the last minute is funny and quirky even though it cheapens the world you experienced up until that point type of game.
I love being told the characters you play as in the end are crazy delusional nutjobs and just end it there awkwardly. At least now I can save the 30$
>It's the first semi known release of sept so it's getting targeted for shitposting.
Really? This is the best reason you could come up with to dismiss why people are complaining? Because it came out early in September?
>If you follow some youtube personalities
I really don't. Last time I regularly watched youtube was like 4-5 years ago nowadays I just watch it if someone links me something or I have something specific I want to watch. So basically it's just another e-celeb game that's really basic but people hyped it out to be some amazing shit. Kinda like that rwby game or whatever was it called.
nobody bought it, they're all playing Iceborne and using the Sans Mii costume in Smash right now.
he's desperate because he's the autistic shill spamming these river city girl threads almost daily for months straight
Probably nothing, the game isn't intended for Japanese audiences.
I like how all of your webms are from late in the game where you actually have moves unlocked and stats raised and not the atrocious early game where everything is tedious as fuck.
>I-It gets good after 5 hours
>we won
Not yet you haven't. Better rev up those review bombs.
Absolutely this, don't listen to Yea Forums in full effect. If you're that curious, pirate since it's short.
You game is shit fuck off already shill you don't need to keep making and bumping these threads any more
To this day I don't understand the Wayforward meme.
I haven't played a game by them that isn't mediocre. It's funny to think how Yatch Club were ex-WF guys and they've made only gems so far.
Post yfw you didn't buy this trash
What the goddamn fuck is that battle music? Sounds like some midi generator shit
you can get all of those moves in less than half of that
Nips don't care about anime-wannabe stuff made in the west.
I hate each and every sad fuck who worked on this.
Yeah sure, along with most other beat em ups released this decade
They have cute girls in their games so that makes them /ourguys/ even though their games are shit.
If you were heavily invested into the River City series, this game doesn't exactly do anything for the franchise and the overall story is lackluster.
If you're heavily invested into beat'em ups, well, this is a mediocre entry that you can enjoy for a few hours depending on how much you like to repeat the same things. It isn't all that special in terms of being a boss rush or something.
The only thing left it has going for it are the youtube personalities and you already know where you stand with that.
Dang, you got me bro. You've exposed me. Using all those moves you can unlock after the first hour.
It's okay. I'll go back to making threads when you move on to the next game. Greedfall releases in a week.
because normalfags think anime is cringe but they enjoy it as a guilty pleasure. so they have to coat the way they present their fandom in irony to save a face. they will never say "yes I like anime" but instead will retort to self deprication "dude im such a weeb LOL"
The RPG elements were the worst part of SP so yes. You need to raise your stats to stand a chance in the later levels and then by raising your stats the earlier levels become a joke, so if you want to replay the game and have any fun at all you need to make a new character each time. It would've been far better with all of that shit gone and just being balanced properly.
Muramasa is also shit for similar but more complicated reasons, it would've been far better as just a straight stage-based beat 'em up. Dragon's Crown was more that but also bogged itself down with the retarded quest system that worked completely contrary to the end-game system of randomly doing stages in a row for increased rewards.
WayForward gets a free pass for mediocre games because the girls are cute, the pixel art looks good, and the soundtrack is catchy. Shallow gameplay, blatant padding, short overall game length and crappy DLC are conveniently ignored. Remember to say Shantae has a chance to be in Smash.
...
shit now I have to buy it unironically
THAT'S late in the game?
>if you can put up with hourly smash threads
Letting burgerlanders make a River City game was a mistake. White people cannot into high school delinquent stuff.
Your mspaint comic makes no sense
It does if you've heard of horseshoe theory
Why did wayforward even bother to waste money on some VA for this game? It could have worked with just chiptune sounds like scott pilgrim. In fact what even is the point of having any voice acting in a beat em up game? Seems extremely pointless
>don't upgrade stats
>enemies become damage sponges that kill almost instantly
>upgrade stats
>platforming clearly not made with higher speed in mind
>enemies go down in one hit, making all your combos useless
>combos generally useless against bosses who can just armor through things whenever they want
Fuck Scott Pilgrim.
That's fucking terrible and it sucks that it's not just normalfags, that shit's everywhere here too.
>animation is S+ tier, possibly top 5 of this generation
>dialogue is fucking horrible
>UI is shit, should've been pixel art compared to lifeless hd unity shit
>youtube tier voice acting
>short as shit
>shitty music
I hope whoever did the animation got their money's worth.
>The game looks like it was made in Game Maker
>the rest of this thread
how much do you guys want to bet wayforward spent more money on the marketing (including shills on Yea Forums) and e-celeb faggotry than actual development on this game
Is the guy yelling hypocrite the horseshoe?
This is just the manga style shit lad there's more dialogue/cutscenes than that.
You don't have to, here's the clip. Yes rocks shoot up from the ground, but you take damage from the attack before that happens. The move is dumb in general because it's a ground slam yet you have to avoid it by running to the side, which makes it lack variety, because that's how you would avoid it anyway. It would be far more interesting to have different attacks requiring you to avoid them in different ways. The game isn't doing that like this, it's forcing you to take the most boring option, and as a result the entire fight is a simple repetitive loop of hit Misuzu and make her fall down -> attack her when she's on the ground -> back off when she uses her slam -> attack again when she walks towards you. The entire fight is repeating this simple chain until it ends because of how weak the AI is and how boring the moveset is.
that's 100% what happened
Oh don't say that, can't have a middling opinion on anything.
>and the soundtrack is catchy
RCG kind of dropped the ball here
They probably got paid peanuts, animators don't get that much
Shantae's dialogue is waaaay cringier
>wayforward
>good games
pick one
>The game looks like it was made in Game Maker
You cannot honestly think that.
To appeal to the zoomer audience. I imagine 90% of people who bought this game did it because their favorite youtuber is in the game.
damn
Isn't it not out there for a few weeks?
Why go to a discussion thread if you don’t want any discussion? If you’re really having so much fun with the game, why aren’t you playing it right now, instead of shitposting about it on here?
>Azur Lane Crosswave
This is actually pretty fun and I'm enjoying it a lot so far. Controls are nice and responsive, the combat is frantic as fuck and Hard mode isn't just damage sponge central.
>I played the Shantae games and the dialogue was nowhere near as bad
Did you play HGH? I don't blame you if you didn't.
The video of a guy beating the bonus boss has them at level 25, so yeah, level 23 is definitely late in the game.
then why is RWBY so popular?
See and then realize that they basically targetted the youtuber audience.
Wayforward's writing is like the equivalent of that loser friend who tried to get a nickname they made up for themselves to catch on.
funny you say that, the game had low reviews earlier today, but when the first thread bashing the game and making fun of the review score went up suddenly a bunch of good scores were added, talk about review bombing
RCG is a weird case of having too much music, every screen the song changes to something else so you barely get a chance to listen to anything. And probably because of that most of the songs don't have very strong melodies.
sold more than astral chain too
they seem to enjoy it
youtube.com
who approved this?
>the designated river city shill is SEETHING right now
Justice truly does exist
Sadly RWBY had a minor boom in Japan and didn't go very far beyond that. At its peak they got a manga that didn't really go anywhere, and they got an entry in a game. RWBY is slightly more popular in China than it is in Japan, but China basically eats up everything and anything so I'm not sure how much that says about its popularity.
Well, nips have shit taste. They had Jesus Yamato at the number 1 male character in every character poll until he got banned.
>bought the collector edition because why not
>saw obnoxious arin,jack,and that unfunny fat chinese guy doing voice acting in this game
>instantly regret it
Welp, I'm sure I can sell it to some sucker for a higher price on ebay. I think Dan and Ross are okay people but I still don't want any of them in this game
that streamer doesn't sound that excited desu
Pretty sure I read a Dozamura doujin that was similar to this.
Yea, I'm thinking this game's a 3/10, with almost every point given because of presentation.
D-delete this, please....
wew
Also here's the video to illustrate that that's exactly how the fight plays out except she uses a different attack twice. Note that nothing about the fight changes after she uses her powerup and begins glowing red.
files.catbox.moe
The hilarious part is that the game is categorized under the original 1984 game.
>early reviews are mostly negative because of fools looking to play on m&kb getting angry it sucks as they should have expected
>as more reviews trickle in from people who played it without looking to use an inferior control method it goes up because people enjoy the game
Shocking
>Why go to a discussion thread if you don’t want any discussion?
Like I said, I was curious what my fellow Yea Forumsirgins were saying about the game. I wasn't looking to write essays refuting people saying they hate youtubers being in the game. A few people have mentioned the game's legit faults though. Just a few.
>why aren’t you playing it right now
Because I played it all fucking day.
I knew something was off, the first boss has the same bullshit input reading but not as bad.
This game is going to be forgotten by next week.
>hating on kira over a decade later
cope
>shitting on CW when you haven't played it
It's better than RCG. The controls aren't dogshit, there aren't collision issues, the game isn't damage sponge central, the voicing isn't going to make you claw your ears out, the writing is standard Azur Lane which is whatever you think of AL's story telling, the shooting is satisfying and the combat is nice and frantic unlike RCG which is tedious.
Designs. It's full of stuff that would be a slam dunk to the chuu2 audience. That part actually made it a little endearing, but everything else about it was garbage.
He's a shittier Amuro, specially in SEED Destiny.
>not playing Fight'N'Rage instead
HA!
Cucked once again
i wonder how much they spent overall on the VAs
Well the webm doesn't lie. I guess the aura she gets is only in her super saiyan mode.
So what it really sounds like in this thread is if I pirate it I’ll just enjoy it since it’s not really anywhere near as bad as people itt is making it sound
UPGRADE YOUR PC YOU DUMB CUNT
Nah give it until the end of the month. It might not have the gameplay or the story to warrant it, but there are people invested enough to try and keep it alive just for the sake of spreading awareness to it. The last thing the diehards want is for the game to fade into obscurity.
Probably where all the budget went
Just like the new Shantae game reusing Half-Genie assets because they wanted a powerpoint OP by Trigger
>it's the controller, not the fact that there are issues with the game!!!!!
this is just getting sad
I saw the quality of the early reviews
>no online coop, no recommend
>Got Cross Wave and Gun Gun Pixies instead
I'm having a great time.
How good is it user? It's been on my wishlist for a while and it looks good. But is the gameplay good?
Actually no, I only played the original, Risky's Revenge, and Pirate's Curse. I didn't play any of the ones after that. Did it get worse?
I don't recognize any of those names I'm from like ray william johnson era and even then I barely knew any of the "big" youtubers.
It's not. It sure as fuck ain't worth 30 bucks though.
I'm going to predict the future
The River City Shill who has been spamming these ad threads on Yea Forums for months will attempt to spam them more near the end of september/october but those threads will fail to live and will have a low unique IP count
Screencap this
This would happen even if it was good though, arcadey games are shit at generating long term discussion
Then stop buying new games idiot
Avatar the Last Airbender, unironically. A good example of taking influence respectfully without resorting to "HAHA ANIME IS SO SILLY AMIRITE?" bs.
>dude why don't you just pla-
I already have, user.
>okay but what about-
Again, I've already played it.
how does it not look like it was made in game maker?
it's not like GM is bad, quite the opposite
yes
very
Am I not allowed to play both?
but i did, great game
>Shittier Amuro
Are you kidding me? Even Zeta Amuro, arguably the period when he was most depressed and unwilling to do shit, wasn't anywhere close to Kira. Just because Amuro preached about letting humans live because he believed in their potential doesn't mean he didn't recognize the necessity of fighting wars and killing everyone in his way.
pirate's curse was the peak of the series
half genie half hero was another kikestarter bomb
absolute downgrade in every way possible
I'm done with the shantae series
Because the sprite work is fantastic.
>the writing is standard Azur Lane
That's definitely not a good thing. I'd take it over RCG's garbage, but it's still not good.
>the shooting is satisfying and the combat is nice and frantic
Having played other CH games I cannot believe this whatsoever.
When I fought her she did some jumps and started destroying the pillars.
Probably not too much given the career ones mostly have a histiry with WF and the ecelebs probably did it cheap just for the attention and chance to be in something besides ProZD
do people actually play the game with those simulated scan lines?
Amuro stopped being a pussy early on in his career, he’s nothing like Kira
... what?
game maker can make games with fantastic sprite work, what the fuck do you even mean?
This, I was expecting it to be $20 at the most, and at $15 I'd probably buy it, but no fucking way for $30.
>Did it get worse?
In terms of both gameplay and writing, yes.
That's a valid point. Prove me wrong.
That quite literally was the case. Early negative reviews were primarily people bitching about the m&kb controls with only a few talking about actual issues.
if you're reading this shill-chan, don't worry, I'll be there to post a single image of adachi so you can feel like your threads are still getting attention.
when ANY game use scanlines, you aren't supposed to be this close of the screen.
Challenge accepted, user. I expect to see you in my threads.
Why the fuck are your drivers so outdated
Because is LE FUNNEY
Half-Genie was a really short, more traditional style platformer that they tried to give replay value by locking some things away like the more 'vania' Shantae games. They released a bunch of DLC to keep it alive, but it was of very inconsistent quality. A downgrade from Pirate's Curse in every way.
>another censored
pass
This is true. But I think the main reason it doesn't have more negative reviews is because the high seas version showed up so quickly that everyone on the fence went for that instead, and so didn't need to buy it on Steam and refund it after realising they didn't like it.
>2D pixel game
>gtx 950 or higher
OH NONONONONONNONONO
HAHAAHAHAHAHAHA
RIVER CITY SHILLS WILL DEFEND THIS
I didn't have much a problem with the UI, mostly because they gave some animation to their portraits whenever they have dialogue when just walking around.
Everything else is spot on. The game is just nice to look at. From the sprites, to the boss intros, to even their manga-like cutscenes. Shame about everything else.
haha imagine her giving you a footjob while ignoring you, haha wouldn't that be funny.
Those people aren't fans.
I mean it didn't overall and I don't even hate Astral Chain, just haven't had the cash to get it and I'm getting my tokufix with Battride War Genesis right now but those vouchers helped sell the game way more. It is still nice to see CH get a game breaking 30k. I hope they stay in the top 20 for one more week and get a few more sales since this is actually a really fun game.
I might pick it up again and 1cc Insane. As fun as it is, the game really does start to fall apart at that difficulty mode since enemies move and attack so fast you basically have to force them to walk into your lingering attack hitboxes. The muay thai cocks are just bullshit, I still dont know how Im supposed to approach them they can anti air everything.
Do companies actually shill their games here, and if so, why? There’s only like 1000 people total that browse this board, at best. Wouldn’t that time be better spent shipping on r/Games or something?
Maid Dragon is great, fuck you
On the other hand all those guys with Kanna avatars are legit shit human beings so I guess this has a point. Kanna doesn't deserve that
works fine on my ten year old PC
Toby Fox shilled Undertale here, and we all know how that turned out
who has torrent?
There's a way to do a triple jump? Because accidentally did one and wasn't recording, I've been trying to replicate it again but it's not working.
Rabi-Ribi was made by chinks
Blue Revolver was made by spics
Rakuen and Undertale were made by yanks
I fucking wish there were only 1000 people here, but yes constantly. Even before "shill" was the big word we had a bunch of viral marketing jokes because of how prevalent it is.
TF didn't shill it here he shilled it on Yea Forums and the backers/homestuck fans then talked about it on Yea Forums
Most Yea Forums posters will say yes only because they don't enjoy video games enough anymore to believe someone making a thread for a game they genuinely enjoy.
Companies don't need to shill on reddit. If they shill on Twitter, reddit will naturally follow.
I thought he shilled it on Yea Forums.
Which games do you mean when you say other?
>There’s only like 1000 people total that browse this board
I read something about Yea Forums getting a million unique ip's per month.
>he felt for the minimum/recommended meme
>tfw you fired up your 3DS and just played the updated version of River CIty Ransom instead
I've bought this game so many times at this point. Something about this game is just incredibly relaxing.
>NES
>GBA
>Wii
>3DS
still shilled on Yea Forums, which is something that people wouldn't really believe is something developers do.
>There's a way to do a triple jump?
You mean with kyoko's aerial heavy? Can you even hop off of more than one enemy at a time?
That's just phoneposters evading bans.
Shilling on Yea Forums is basically free. Just make a few threads and one of the local autists will latch on and start shilling for you. Doesn't really matter if he praises it or shits on it. Everyone else would do the opposite and the game would get shitton of attention.
>1000 people total
>Current Users: 205 243
And it's early morning eu time and night us time so it's much more during the peak.
>The muay thai cocks are just bullshit, I still dont know how Im supposed to approach them they can anti air everything.
cringe
If I make a game, can I shill it on Yea Forums?
>I'm getting my tokufix with Battride War Genesis right now
No, Kyoko just jumped 3 times in the air. I was just dicking around pressing X and there's was no wall near.
>Haha Misako is really angry lol
>Haha Kyoko is retarded lol
There you go, that's 100% of this game's dialogue.
Misako's VA also can't say Riki's name right either, which is kind of amazing.
...
Just make sure you post wojaks and frogs while spamming oh nonononono to get enough attention. Otherwise no one would care.
Not everything positive is a shill, but there are companies that obviously pay shills to come here.
i actually know someone who got paid to shill a game here like 2ish years ago as a short contract thing
you have to bear in mind that Yea Forums is literally the fastest board on this entire site and largely consists of gullible morons who will believe the first thing they see in a Twitter screencap
Every game thread posted on here have been accused of shilling. Fuck, I even found a few idiots calling out Risk of Rain 2 as shilling. Strangely only gachashit have been untouched.
Undertale is actually a fantastic example of how to take japanese influences and even some jokes about weebness and make them so sincere, without blatantly trying to copy anime like a how to draw manga book from the 00s.
Which version is best? After RCG I'm interested in trying more of the series
How can you struggle with riki? I mean it's just fucking Riki how can you fuck this up. Just like play some dota or something.
How new?
battlefield dinosaur.jpg
>there are companies that obviously pay shills to come here.
And they're easy to sniff out because of a number of reasons.
What, got pro strats to share?
Neptunia 1, Rebirth 1, SeHa Girls, Mary Skelter 1, Agarest 1, Moero Chronicle, and Trillion. All of them were absolute fucking shit despite the fanboys constantly claiming "no dude their earlier games sucked but their new ones are totally good".
3 hours
They should've just named him Ricky and none of this would have been a problem.
Did you rush it? I finished the story at 8 hours with minimal messing around and just a few deaths.
It arrived two days before Astral Chain released. I'm getting AC probably around the middle of the month or in October since there's also Code Vein and still debating on Ryza this month. Next month has nothing so I'll probably be good to go by then.
Also it's pretty fun when I'm playing with the riders I know and understand how their belts work. Ghost is bad and a bad intro to the game. Once I got W and OOO I've been having way more fun.
I'm not sure if you just copied what I said in the previous thread or if you found the same things to say yourself.
Actually you've got the Adachi image so it's obviously the former, never mind.
Wayforward constantly makes games that are average at best, but colorful and flashy, yet they can only get the most polarizing of reactions to them. This has happened every time since people started giving a shit about shantae.
Why don't you have a girlfriend yet?
>Strangely only gachashit have been untouched.
Cause they're not actual games and everyone knows that
Because his name is りき, not Richard.
I skipped the dialog at a certain point because it was really bad. Did it effect that much? I'm thinking you're just really slow.
Well, nothing beats the original for pure nostalgia. I still really fondly think of having great, lazy afternoons with my little brother, and later my ex-boyfriend, playing it.
The GBA version adds a few new things. I'd say the definitive release is the 3DS game. A few little graphical tweaks and tons of new content make it really good. One of those games that's fun on it's own, but a real treat for fans of the original.
Yea Forums is a board of extremes. A game is either great or shit. There is no middle ground.
But theres literally nothing wrong with Riki. you have to be a braindead halfwit to struggle with pronouncing Riki.
they are barely in the game.
stop being such an autistic faggot.
>tfw I bought a shantae game because of Yea Forums hyping up the series and it was shit
since then I haven't trust WF but this game being so unpopular here makes me want to play it instead because you fags have the worst taste
Ryza isn't out until next month.
But mostly I was questioning why you were getting Battride War when it sucks.
woah!
iTT way lame incels that got NO game
>りき
Careful guys we have a certified weeb in thread. Anti weeb forces have been dispatched please stay inside and cover your windows.
Like I said, I didn't mess around that much. I even ignored exploring the final area more because i wanted to see the ending.
>lumping in Kemono Friends when Westernfags kept shitting on it or forgot about it a month after S1 ended
S1 threads were great, 2hu oldfags kept coming out of the woodwork and it felt like we weren't reclining anymore. At least ZUN didn't sudoku his franchise with a vengeance.
Please they worked the dialogue to make it fit "the Western audience" with massive cringe, changing the names entirely wouldn't be a stretch.
If you expect American VAs to put in the effort to learn pronunciation, then you're clearly "discriminating" against them.
>that fucking S2 disaster
2hu and friends are now both eternally reclining
I like this shopkeep better
>you have to be a braindead halfwit to struggle with pronouncing Riki.
What other kind of person would become a youtube voice actor?
I want to rub my face on her abs as I play with her boobs SO BADLY
If this appeals to you then, fuck it, you enjoy yourself user.
>advertised as a corny girl power subversion of the typical damsel in distress beat-em-up plot

lmao, what a massive black pill for any gamer grills playing.

There's literally 0 overlap between those 2 websites.
>Neptunia 1, Rebirth 1, SeHa Girls, Mary Skelter 1, Agarest 1, Moero Chronicle, and Trillion.
Not one game made by the team that made Cross Wave. Also MS was good in regards to it's battle system and how Nightmare's worked. The dungeon maps were bad and all over the place I'll give you that much. Additionally none of these are shooters or action games in general so it's hardly a fair comparison when you say "these turnbased RPGs made by a totally different team didn't feel satisfying so neither is this game made by a totally different team that I haven't played any prior works of." Sounds super fair to judge them for other's works.
RCG is honestly alright. It's a good beat'em up. Is it amazing? No. Will it convert people who don't like beat'em ups? No.
>bought the original Shantae at launch because Nintendo Power made it sound cool
>it was fine
>years later it explodes into some super rare obscure Earthbound shit or whatever
>people start going on about how amazing it was
I mean yeah it was TECHNOLOGY but the actual gameplay wasn't anything special
>Please they worked the dialogue to make it fit "the Western audience" with massive cringe, changing the names entirely wouldn't be a stretch.
It's actually weird how it's this bizarre mash up of localised and non-localised content. Like even in the Japanese version of the game it uses dollars instead of yen.
There's a new game+
good thing I'm a degenerate bisexual
They should have just given them all generic english names like the old days if it was that hard.
>Yea Forums hates Wayforward games now
What the fuck happened?
That changes nothing to the ending
Guess I'll just hang out with the Friends of Ringo Ishikawa.
It's a new release with some attention.
they made mediocre games
>I got zombie brain in my mouth
>on purpose?
This was pretty funny tbf.
Hopefully wayforward learns from this mess and never lets the cuck director lead any game again.

I meant importing Ryza or not. I'm still tossing that up since it comes out near the end of the month.
Battride War was because it looked decent for the Rider Fanservice and I got jipped by Climax Fighters being trash especially to play local MP(A FUCKING SQUARE). Battride Genesis is far better than that piece of shit. Also I could get the proper version of the game with all the TV themes and the like for pretty cheap. It got delayed during shipment so when it should've arrived a week earlier than Astral Chain it got there 2 days before.
>What the fuck happened?
They started releasing worse games? One of them being a Shantae entry?
that puke inducing pixelart thou
Your little brother became your boyfriend?
WHATEVS DUDE
Meanwhile I'm having a blast.
This is where ironic weeb turned into a meaningless strawman for "someone that watches anime I don't like" instead of some casual retard trying to play off his embarrassment over anime as irony on some shitty stream.
Also who fucking goes to Fakku AND sadpanda? You can tell this meme was slammed together by some post-2016 redditor.
>Basically requires a controller to play
Welp. Guess I won't be playing this one.
>started
they always made meh games
you just liked the boobs and ass
>Also MS was good in regards to it's battle system and how Nightmare's worked
No it fucking wasn't, the battle system was fucking retarded particularly with how the MC's awkward defence ability takes ages every time it activates and ruins the flow of battles.
>"these turnbased RPGs made by a totally different team didn't feel satisfying so neither is this game made by a totally different team that I haven't played any prior works of." Sounds super fair to judge them for other's works.
How the fuck should I know what teams CH has working on what? Either way the games are bad, why would I expect them to make a good game of any genre when every other game I've played from them is shit?
Anyone have a download link to the game? Saw it posted earlier and didn’t download it for whatever reason.
If the rest of this game is like this I might try it out. Probably won't and definitely will pirate it if I do.
How dare you.
>now
Wayforward still manages to make charming games. RCG just happens to have less charm than usual. I'm not even listening to the soundtrack after having beaten the game, like I've done with their previous games.
>now
They've always been shit games carried by their artwork and music, Mighty Switch Force is the perfect example, anyone who actually played that knows it's fucking garbage.

So how does kyoko play compared to misako?
I know, I can't tell if this is:
>I hate the game because it's popular.
>I hate the game because I got annouyed of seeing others talk about it.
>I hate the game because someone I don't like is in it.
I have only seen 1 complaint about gameplay. The rest is about dialogue (which you can change to Japanese) and just the fact way forward made it.
No they're not, fakku users are too dumb to get past sadpanda. I mean you have to be extremely dumb to pay for free porn. It's only fakku mods who go to sadpanda to report and get doujins deleted.
it's NG+ that's why
>they always made meh games
Which is why I said worse. Look at those two years.
>every line in the game is either violent or retard
HELLA
Actually, the majority is about how dumb Kyoko is or how Misako wants to beat everything up.
>this entire thread has legitimate criticisms and we had a thread earlier that had legitimate criticisms
>UHHHHHH IDK MAYBE Yea Forums IS JUST BEING CONTRARIAN AS USUAL OR SOMETHING??!?!?
I'm pretty sure they put first priority into writing the dialogue to suit the Youtube VAs, and the dialogue already goes against the overall story. It probably would have been too much of a headache to make the dialogue and the story "translate" over into other languages properly, so they just decided to halfass the entire localization process and dedicate resources elsewhere. Probably no real QA in terms of localization, so odds are good they just made an initial checklist of "what should be localized" and went with that.
If they had any playtesters, odds are good that the playtesters were only American, which would mean that they wouldn't give a shit in terms of localization or "language consistency". Case in point Riki (which is "funny" but not that offensive), which to the average American speaker could be anything from Rykey to Ricky, with the latter sounding more organic and the former sounding more exotic - the notion of it being Rikki or even Reekee wouldn't cross their minds.
>I have only seen 1 complaint about gameplay.
There have been several complaints about gameplay in this thread alone.
>Isn't she saying "Prepped to go?"
no
>All the wayforward employees shilling
Niggers, just learn and make sure your future game isn’t this shit.
Something can be "meh" and still get worse.
>this entire thread has legitimate criticisms and we had a thread earlier that had legitimate criticisms
Not really though. Some people mention the legit problems with the game but most of it is just pure shitposting.
Should've been in the last thread then. Honestly there's only so many times people can bring up the janky parts of the game when the game isn't that long to begin with. It already sounds tired because there isn't much in the game to mention in the first place.
I can't tell if this is:
>I will play the contrarian in this thread because most people have one opinion
>I will defend the thread because I feel obligated to do so on Yea Forums
>The game actually is bad, but I refuse to admit so and will attempt to convince others to get it so they're just like me
There's the one fucking autist who keeps shitting on the game out of some weird vendetta and he's incredibly obvious, stop lumping all the other criticism in with him.
River city shills will continue seething for all the threads after this one
Looks like typical teenage speak to me. What, did you expect, Legacy of Kain?
>Rykey
How do you even say that? like rai from raichu and key like key? Americans are truly baffling creatures.
The NTR general on /h/ has to contend with such a creature. The namefag shills Fakku and is active in the exhentai community. An outlier, sure, but they exist.

Wow, this actually damages my enjoyment a little.

several people mentioned gameplay related problems early on, you just honed in on the shitposting specifically, kicked the hornets nest and it kept going from there, dumbass.

get over it bro, people are legitimately bashing this game for good reason while you're ignoring it under the impression that it's all shitposting.
Nope. I just later had a good boyfriend who liked to play vidya too.
>stop lumping all the other criticism in with him.
I'm not. I've read the posts with so called real criticism. If a nigga talks about hitboxes but not that light attack and use are mapped to the same button then they don't know shit.
>If you don't like a game it means it was too hard for you
Every fucking time.
It's ironic that you resort to this when someone calls out your autism when you also copied my own complaints from the last thread
>NTR general
I mean we're talking about literal cucks so I wouldn't consider those people
>The namefag shills Fakku and is active in the exhentai community
Sounds to me like fakku employee reporting stuff on exhentai.
Most of the thread looks like shitposting because it's about the story, which is arguably shitposting with a game built around it.
Even if you like the slow gameplay the story is unforgivably bad and has no place in a game like this. No one plays a beat em up for the fucking story, especially this trash.
>If someone complains about A but not B in the same post their criticism of A no longer holds merit
>several people mentioned gameplay related problems early on
>the hit boxes are ba-
Miss me with that gay posting.
>good boyfriend
but he became ex. So either you're a shitty person or he wasnt that good.
>The power of Unity
Jesus Christ. This is a Unity Engine. Fuck that.
Because the game DOESN'T have a problem with hitboxes but it DOES have a problem with one button doing 2 different things that causes problems pretty often.
Saying the story is misleading, the problem isn't the story itself, the problem is the writing on a moment to moment level and how bad the dialogue and interactions are. It's painfully unfunny with how hard it's trying to show that it's self-aware.
here are your shills for tonight
>the game DOESN'T have a problem with hitboxes
people who deflect all criticism about this game are vehemently sticking to their guns that the hitboxes are fine and have no issues when we literally have proof that this is not the case.
This is the type of shitposting I'm talking about.
>How the fuck should I know what teams CH has working on what?
Basic research so you don't make baseless accusations.
Azur Lane Cross Wave is by the team that made Gekai Tokki Castle Panzer which was way better than it had any right to be since it's THE fanservice series from them. The combat in CW is frantic as fuck especially with how many enemies are attacking you at once making you have to dance around all the bullets spraying out around you while you try and deal with them all. You can hate them all you want, all you're doing is missing out on a fun TPS.
also
I really feel like I can't buy this shit on principle now. Sorry Wayforward. I don't want to support lets players.
Not even looking at your pic but
>"Everyone who isn't mindlessly shitting on the game is a shill"
I can't tell if you're saying the first post is shitposting or they're both shitposting. Because the second post is completely reasonable.
The only time I've had wonky hit boxes has been when characters are on different elevations. That's pretty common to these types of games though so I wasn't expecting wayforward of all devs to be the ones to slove it.
That's not a problem with hitboxes.
Fair enough, you put it into words better than I did. A lot of my gripe comes from the fact there are story scenes in general, I hate how modern game devs think every fucking game needs this shit. You are right in that the dialogue and interactions are just fucking bad, though.
>name one decent kyoani anime
I mean this guy is right. Kyoani only makes trash or rather made since they burn out. LOL
Names are a particular stumbling block because people generally run with default phonemes in their head, and English is a such a janky language when it comes to rules that most people have a cobbled together set that "works".
Think about the name Riker (as in Star Trek Riker). Isolate the front phoneme. Then attach on "ki", and tack on the part that most people have no clue where to place emphasis when it comes to Japanese words. Combine the two together and suddenly you have weird ass sounding combinations.

That's a questionable thing to say because if you're at a different elevation the game automatically nudges you towards the correct elevation when you attack until you get to the same elevation as the auto-targeted enemy.
>That's not a problem with hitboxes.
It's a problem of several things and the hitbox is one of them.
So a negative critique is "shitposting" when you don't agree with it?
That game really did not live up to it's hype, even if the visuals are nice.
Near identical mechanically, just with kicks and Chun-Li/Cammy specials.
It's understandable that someone would fuck it up, what's nor understandable is that no one in recording could tell them the right way to say it and get them to say it right. Runkachunk could get the names right, why the fuck can't anyone else?

Do you not think before you type or are you actually this retarded?
Overall I don't have a problem with the story or dialog. Misako is the brash one with no manners and kyoko is the ditzy nice girl. At worst is was dad trying to appeal to his teenage kids tier.
Debate me.
>Archiving every time a group of people have dared to actually enjoy a game unironically
Post yfw, you didn't fell for this meme of a game.
The smash threads are just shitposters honestly.

Smash threads are a byproduct of autism, even shills aren't that motivated.

That's putting it nicely when literally every line of dialogue from her is about her being so retarded she can't even comprehend the most basic things Misako says.

Simple answer: The voicework was done in isolation and compiled with little afterthought because the studio couldn't arrange for more than a few sessions with each VA. If someone in the main team noticed something was wrong, by that time they were in the home stretch and nothing could be done without impacting release.
Cynical answer: Literally no fucks were given, everyone went with the first take, took their paychecks, and went home without even looking at the finished product.
Good thing they aren’t delinquents

She has her airhead moments, but she also has her nice moments. Like when talking to the girl with the dog, she tries to smooth over misako being a bitch.
>I'm enjoying the game regardless
Oh yeah, I sure am.
Are you okay retard?
How will i ever recover
>l-laugh all you want I'm t-totally loving this game!
cope harder river city cucks
>you're having artificial fun!
At this point I feel like this autist is actually a false flag made to look as stupid and over the top as possible to discredit anyone complaining about the game by association. This also makes sense as he was doing most of the advertising for the game by starting multiple daily threads about how he hates the girls having boyfriends.
He got into drugs and started raiding my bank account. He's since gotten clean, and we're still friends, but it'll be a bit before I fully regain my trust in him. Or anyone, really. He kinda soured me on relationships for a while.
Clearly you need to buy Mighty Number 9 to feel better about this game. That and support the Youtubers involved.
Yes I am, that's why I said it.
Well if you stop (You)ing me I'll unpause my game and cope by playing some more.
Seriously are you okay? You don't sound okay.
Damn, now that the game is shit and bombed, how will kyoko and misako pay their bills?
unless...
>It's painfully unfunny with how hard it's trying to show that it's self-aware.
I've had the perfect example to link this to, NISA translations. I mean the one's done by that faggot who's now making a game being published by Sekai Project. The one who turned a sad death sequence between siblings into a fucking memefilled piece of shit because "You can't have seriousness in a comedy game". I'm sure someone has the faggot's bio on hand. You know the one.
Stop replying then you stupid fuck, jesus.

What a shit board this is.
You will probably be written off as a shitposter but I agree, I fucking hate lazy pixelart and that is all these indie devs ever do. You don't even need to compare to Metal Slug, these graphics are BTFO by shit from the snes/mega drive.
Okay
>buy Mighty Number 9
Let's not go crazy now.
let's test it out
Considering this is MEANT to be Japanese delinquents, I highly doubt you have either.
The "I changed Macaron's name to Macaroon because I don't know what macarons are" guy?
>this is MEANT to be Japanese delinquents
The game is river city, not kunio-kun.
>comparable to Metal Slug

Teenage girls are the same everywhere in the world. You can't win against hormones.
>the act like basic teenagers in every conversation and even some of their attacks
>BUT THEY SAID THEY'LL PUNCH ME IF I THINK ABOUT HURTING KUNIO SO THEY MUST BE DELINQUENTS
I don't even have a fucking hateboner for RCG, but fuck people need to stop giving pixel art so much leeway if they're going THAT far.
The sad part is that it's supposed to be Japanese delinquents, and pretty much all of the cliches reflect Western delinquents. When they announced that it would be female leads I knew it wasn't going to be CrowsxWorst or even "traditional" Kunio-kun delinquency, but I thought they'd at least have some aspects of things like gyaru culture or LINE culture just to make it at least "feel" slightly Japanese.
Instead we get Western youtubers (not even Japanese youtubers with their vtube gimmick avatars) and Western memes. Some of the mission dialogue felt like it was ripped out of Western B movies.
>he never got punched by the girl after teasing her
Sounds to me like an average teenage girl.
Almost certainly. He had this really obnoxious bio where it was something along lines of "unable to hold back his unappreciated writing ability while localizing games he's going on to making his own" or some kind of self-masturbatory trash where he basically acts like people didn't despise him for his cancerous meme filled translations. .

Ah, there is is. Thanks user.
But you see my point. "I'm a better writer than the actual writers so I'll pump this whole thing full of ironic meme shit and pass it off as good humor" it's the exact same kind of thing except instead of it being a shitty localization it's showing a total lack of respect to the niche archetype the Kunio-kun series is based on.
Not a single criticism that matters in any actual conversation beyond "you know what kind of bugs me?" rattling off.

>>but it's not the release build it's a demo
>And yet the errors still persist.
for some reason people thought they were going to fix the game when they announced the game a month and a half before release.
Because he's full of shit and acting like people that aren't ironic weebs don't despise him for his """localizations"""
It's just so...bizarre.
Obon. A festival for honoring the dead.
It's such a specific word tied to such a specific connotation that when you put it back into that sentence, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
You knew he intentionally picked this one word, he could have used the generic word for festival but no he specifically chose...Obon?
I have to question if he even knows what it means and didn't just think "lol I'll use this word that isn't the standard word for festival to prove how cool I am for knowing a Japanese word"
Considering the person in question, I'm not too sure they even know the difference.
