G-guys?

Are you seriously relying on Yea Forums to inform you on a game?

How does the gameplay compare to Scott Pilgrim or the original RCR? I'm not expecting Capcom beat em up quality, but if it's decent I'll buy it.

Gameplay is simpler, but can be interpreted as more shallow. Realistically much of the combat "depth" in terms of combos isn't necessary, and there isn't much to expect in terms of enemy AI or variation. The game isn't long, so there isn't much room for major bugs. Most of the gameplay quirks can be overlooked if you intend on playing this once and forgetting that it ever existed. It should not be considered as part of the River City franchised if you want to enjoy it.

It's similar to SP with needing to gain levels to unlock most of your moves with your moveset being severely limited at the start. SP had the problem with the stupid stat items unbalancing the game, which RCG doesn't have, but I would say that SP's actual gameplay beyond that was better.
RCG has bad hitboxes and dumb shit with the z-axis where the enemies and you home in on each other with attacks which makes me wonder why they even have z-movement instead of lanes. Enemy AI is incredibly simple and along with basic movesets the main thing enemies have to hit you with is wake-up attacks so whenever you knock enemies down you can get one or two stomps in and then just have to back off and wait for them to get up to go back to attacking them.

Pirate it. Then buy it if you feel that it's worth the money.

I ain't buying that shit.

You wouldn't download a car

Yes I would

Played it for about 1h and then I just went back to playing River City Underground

You bet your ass if we could download cars I would download a car. I'd download a fucking space ship if we could download a space ship. Hell I'd download an asteroid if we could download asteroids.

Honestly, who wouldn't? That would be awesome.

They are though.
Riki and Kunio aren't actually their boyfriends, they're just deluded nutjobs. Mami and Hasebe aren't virgins though.

How do you grab? I thought it was just press X when they are stunned but that just punches them regularly.

You just walk up to them without pressing anything. You're not invulnerable when grabbing, so might want to just punch them normally when there are other enemies around.

>There's trouble once again in River City
The trouble ARE the girls.
>only the girls can save the day!
Because only they can stop themselves. Can't have men stop them or it becomes sexist. Can't have the girls lose or it becomes sexist. So the only way to solve the problem is for the girls to stop themselves.

No, it's double tap to run left or right and hop up or down.

Nothing wrong here

All this game did was remind of why I hate sidescrolling beat em ups. Even then, I still think the Dungeons and Dragons was better as a beat em up. But this one has good aesthetics/music and cute girls.

Nothing, just look in the game files if you want the story but don't feel like playing the game.

Just give it time, it'll probably hit exceedingly positive or something.

that's literally the plot, the girls break out of detention and beat the shit out of people

From a mechanical standpoint, their movesets function identically. Basically it's up to you whether you want to invest in punch girl or dab girl.

Your own hitboxes are kind of wonky and unforgiving while some bosses will have attacks where the hitbox is way bigger than the animation.
The combat is pretty shallow, unless you're a god gamer you usually won't be getting in more than a few hits since enemies get knocked down super easily and like the other user said all you can do is stomp once or twice then get off them since either they have iframes on them or their getup attack just has insane priority.
Also about unlocking new moves, its really dumb. Some moves you get for free from leveling up, but most of them are locked behind a shop that takes a ton of money per move, especially considering you also have clothing/equipment shops to sink money into (as well as a bunch of food). You lose money on death but healing items are rare, its a really unbalanced and frusterating dynamic.

I'm not super savvy on this genre but decided to give it a shot anyway. Was pretty disappointed with how it turned out.

beat em upfags are desperate for more games so of course they would review it highly
other typical reviewers probably mashed their way through the first couple hours before enemies become hp sponges and gave it a high rating
i dunno, its ok i guess. I would give it maybe a 5.5/10

All the dialogue and voice acting in general is incredibly offputting.

the fact that every guy is portrayed as a weirdo creep who cant talk to people is really weird. maybe its just not my humor.
So far most of the dialogue has just been really cheesy and cringe inducing.

General consensus is to mute the audio, skip the dialogue, and pretend that the story doesn't exist. Skip the ending too.

This is the only good thing about the game.

Anime fan on prom night was actually a good line though, just a dumb decision since it was mocking the game's target audience.
The writing here is just "ha ha I made a joke but like not a serious joke it's an ironic joke so I'll point it out ha ha no one would make a dumb joke like this earnestly ha ha please don't hate me ha ha" trash.

Typing out stuttering is pathetic, weird way to bait people for a River City thread.

the people who did the controls and frame data for this game are absolute retards. it's horrible. I pirated it and i still feel ripped off.

Shit, I was excited for this thinking it was going to be online but oh well. Do you think there's a chance of them adding that in?

It gets to a climax where the two idiot protagonists storm a Yakuza tower looking for their "boyfriends", after fighting their way through the Tower they reach the top to have some more cringe tier banter and "women power" exchange with the female Yakuza lady.

They finish off Yakuza lady, give a "Power of Love" speech, then they barge into a public bath and find their "boyfriends". Turns out it was fake all along, and said "boyfriends" didn't even know their names. The entire impetus for the plot was a delusion dreamt up by the two girls. The boys and girls go separate ways. End of story.

Its bizarre. Its like they dont know a controller has more than 2 buttons nowadays.

thats horrible

that's the regular ending weren't you claiming new game + adds something

ABS

It's supposed to be an old school best em up
The frame shit is unforgivable though.

I hate this.

that's the normal ending you dunce cap fuckwit. not only that, those files are just the comic book scenes, not actual endings.

He's retarded and he's somehow mixed up the normal end bonus endings.
The normal ending is what he said up to the public bath except in the normal ending they find Riki and Kunio and ride off into the sunset together. The bonus ending has them fight Mami and Hasebe instead of the Yakuza woman and then it plays out like the rest of what he said.
There's nothing new in NG+ in regards to story, the bonus ending is accessed by breaking all 25 statues in the game.

its shitty archaic design. "arcade-style" and "old-school" are just words to make it sound better.

Turns out Hasebe and Mami are the actual girflriends and the protagonists are like the Yanderes who stalk their target and deal with harmful influences around them. It is actually hilarious, but they did not deliver the reveal in a very interesting way

We got Wild Guns, which means we'll get that one too.

This is the big problem, the twist isn't bad, it's just that the delivery of it is awful.

I'm doing muted voices and BGM, and replacing the BGM with music you can beat the shit out of people to. I mean sure it's the first area but the first vocal song is some slow ass fucking song with 0 fucking power. NO FUCK YOU.

To be fair, every character is an unlikeable retard, male or female.

Skullmageddon is in the game, so you're wrong.

I can't forgive a modern game on modern hardware for not learning from bad design of the past.
it's like the yooka-laylee thing. stuff like "well the camera's meant to be bad because that's how it was in the 64 days"
I don't accept that as an excuse because it was bad back then too. people only want the good things from retro games. the bad shit needs to stay on the trash pile of history.

true actually, nvm

Is it not possible to remap keyboard buttons on the PC version of River City Girls? Are you fucking kidding me?

Even NG+ with the guys changes nothing.

why do western devs/writers love to be pretentious like that. noobdy want a shitty irony or meta garbage.

>GIRL POWER
They say that literally once and it's brushed off.

The worst it ever gets to is "Strong Independent Women" and "Disregard all men except the ones we want to fuck". Thankfully this is where the protagonists having rocks for brains comes in handy, they don't say much of anything.

So what are you guys replacing the BGM with? Watamote's OP is great, any heavy punk and skate punk music works great too.

>The Ninja Warriors Once Again

man i cant believe that shit exists as they made it and for some reason its not on pc? I would buy it just on principle and play 0 minutes of it...

Yes it is, it's in the settings menu. You can't remap gamepad controls though.

Subverting expectations. The writers pride themselves on it.

You can with keyboard. Its gamepad buttons you cant which annoyed the shit out of me at first since I dont play with an xbox controller.

...There is nothing meta about it, nor is this really an ironic situation. Not that it's good mind you, but this criticism is random

Riki and Kunio being the most normal guys in the whole game was kinda weird.

This gonna be one of those fucking meme games like Scott Pilgrim where everyone sucks each other off saying its great but its actually a clumsy, sloppy, and slidey piece of shit where the only "redeeming" thing about it is the music?

>the only "redeeming" thing about it is the music?
You mean the visuals, right? Though in SP's case it was both the visuals and music.

I thought he meant "meta" as in "the devs are trying to make a game about what they think anime should be". Because that's kind of what it felt like, the grandfather of moe trying to deliver what he considered the quintessential moe video game.

There is a third ending that isn't accompanied by a unique movie.
You need to have Hasebe's Charm & the Hair Ribbon from two previous playthroughs, beating both bosses. Then you must collect all 25 Cats (which only show up in NG+ after you get all 25 statues) before going to the final boss once more.

Normal Ending: Sabuko has no idea why Misako and Kyoko are beating up all her goons and rampaging through the city, turns out Kunio&Riki were just chilling at a public bath. Being confronted, the two guys barely know who the girls are, instead the guys go off looking for Mami and Hasebe. The girls anime-punch them into the sky.
Secret Boss End: Hasebe&Mami are in Sabuko's office for some reason, so the girls pummel them. Hasebe claims that the boys "barely remember you" and they break the fourth wall by mentioning Tachi no Banka never making it to the west. Kunio&Riki are at the bathouse and still do not remember the girls, the ending movie is almost the same as beating Sabuko with the guys going to ditch the girls in favor of Hasebe&Mami. The girls anime-punch them into the sky.
True End: Hasebe (being Yamada's girlfriend) developed psychic powers of her own and used them to make Kunio&Riki forget Kyoko&Misako. Hasebe set the girls on the wild goose chase to try and get them out of the picture. After fucking up Hasebe a second time, she says the boys will get their memory back after a while. Secret Boss End plays again, guys still don't remember (yet). This true end spoiler is made up.

What is supposed to be redeeming about this music? By the time it got to the final boss I realized it was literally just droning going on in the background with weird sound effects.

you forgot
>turn around and attack from behind to avoid a wake up hit, only 2-3 enemies attack in AOE on wake up
combat feels boring, bosses were really annoying even with interesting mechanics and oh god, bosses spaming attacks with iframes was a big pain in the ass.

so we just need a cg dump and a sprite rip

I turned that shit off and put a punk rock playlist on the second it wasn't even good to punch people to. Its so ridiculously unsatisfying that a change of music actually makes the game at least bearable.
>Beating up Mizusu to a song about pulling someone down with you
It's a subpar piece of shit in most regards but punching people to heavy music is always a satisfying feeling even the worst of games can become at least ok this way.

it's even worse than scott pilgrim.

It's fucked up that the only person who can otg needs to be unlocked.

I feel like they would have done better if they just had the Furi soundtrack layered on top. Like screw matching it properly, ignore the fact that Furi is pretty much a completely different game with a completely different atmosphere, just slap it on top and it'd still probably be better.

I'm still amused that they basically put Kyo in the game, and the only reason I'm amused is because of the timing with all the Smash talk.

EWW the mixels EWWW

I'm enjoying this game and I enjoyed Double Dragon: Neon. Outside of these two games, I think the retro 2D beat'em'up I've played went from mindless fun co-op games to shallow repetitive games that all play the same.

>the exact same dialogue, killing replayability
Who the fuck replays a beat em up for the dialogue? I haven't tried any character other than Misako but I assume they all have different playstyles.

Despite the voice acting and some gameplay hiccups I really did enjoy it. The ending though what the fuck?

Attached: 1567674484686.jpg (788x1196, 129K)

One of my main problems with the game is that there aren't enough crazy RCR moves. No Grand Slam, no Javelin Man. And for a game that was inspired by Kunio-tachi no Banka, you can't even mount enemies and wail on them. I haven't gotten around to playing Kunio and Riki, so I'll have to check their moves out later today.

A mixel is when the pixels are not all the same scale. The character/environment sprites are scaled up while hit/attack effects, dizzy stars, HUD and a few other things are much higher resolution.

>Surrealism
It's not a literal delusion and you seeing fake things. It's just clingy girls. Nobody else in the game acknowledges them as the actual girlfriends (there are a couple moments that in hindsight foreshadow this)

There was only two good tracks and they were arrangements of classic RCR songs. Don't Give A being the main theme and Abobo's theme being the boss theme.

Yeah, I hate the air grab being two buttons. Felt a lot easier with Misako compared to Kyoko though.

I finally found a way to move fast in this heap of shit game. had to write my own script to rebind the gamepad controls.

Is it just me or the sprint controls in this game are really unresponsive?
Like, when I tried to get some hits in on Misuzu, when she was down and dash away, I ended up dashing for two steps, then switching back to walking for some reason, so the aoe caught me on the very edge.

Stop shilling your game already. No one wants to play your wannabe weeb game.

Yeah I've had more the opposite problem, I get within ten metres of a softball and they pick it up as soon as I hit X and my normal combo is then replaced by a useless one-hit slap.

Has anyone tried to mess with the *.json files with a text editor to see if you modify the game?

well, why couldnt the enemies be mostly women as well?
Isnt it a world where female are just as strong or stronger then men? If so why are most enemies men?
Its a power fantasy and who is it aiming to please? butch dykes and basedboys who feel special joy from seeing women being "empowered".

It's double tap and hold to commence a sprint. Of course it's unresponsive and yet somehow absolutely vital for surviving boss fights.

Are you having fun?

Attached: 1524391173865.png (1200x675, 183K)

That's not even the problem. If they didn't latch onto the name of River City, this would have just been another weeb game where they have American teenagers that have Japanese names for whatever reason. The problem is that River City/Kunio-Kun is basically a Bancho game, with its own little world that Technos felt should stay in Japan until they decided to dabble overseas. But it being a Bancho game means it follows its own set of cliches and devices, and characters have had dozens of games to define themselves.

The devs at WayForward didn't want to deal with the potential backlash of fucking with a culture that they don't understand because they're weebs but can't be bothered to do any research. So they took what was a series revolving mostly around "delinquent males" (Not really delinquents by American standards either, Kunio is an excellent athlete for his school and gets by, most of the games involve him doing good deeds while getting into fights either to protect his school's honor or help a friend) - and they decided to put the good old "make them women" spin on it. "If it's women, then no one can complain if it deviates away from other River City games right?"

The problem is, as other anons said, the execution. Because they did no research this comes off as two American weeaboo kids with memes galore. Pretty much all traces of the bancho culture in previous games is gone, and because the stereotypical American image of the Yakuza comes from Kill Bill, suddenly we get Yakuza mob fight scene (Japanese media likes to steer away, because Yakuza has connotations of human trafficking, drug trafficking, government corruption and illegal gambling before gang fights).

End of the day you're left wondering: Why did they even use the River City name instead of making their own new IP?

Yeah, desperate beat em upfag here, I'm buying this hoping it at least decent, which it seems to be. I do wish we'd get some proper entries. I'm hoping Streets of Rage ends up good, but it's looking kinda iffy.

>Why did they even use the River City name instead of making their own new IP?
Marketability

That's the thing, the sprint starts and then stops abruptly. So it was initiated, but then switched to regular walk for some reason. That's with d-pad, not analog too. Maybe there's some weird input buffer business going on, but I'm fairly certain I only tapped the button twice.

Basically we're getting Seattle Death Note in beat'em up form.

Why are you "people" making such a big deal of this?
It's literally just a joke and a reference to the fucked up continuity in the previous games, due to them having different directors and the protagonists having two different sets of girlfriends.
It's just a fucking beat em up.

To be fair, fights against Sabu who is a criminal who fires a gun at you were a thing, so his daughter coming at you with a sword is not a stretch.

>why are most enemies men?
Have you played the game? The ratio of male to female enemies is nearly 50/50. I want to say the game is fairly equal-opportunity in it's asskicking.

Oh, but the only "ugly" female enemies in the game are Misuzu and maybe Mami and Hasebe if you stretch, so most of the female enemies you face are attractive.

Is it not one of many female goals to destroy anyone who looks better than herself?

I don't get it either. There's nothing wrong with the story, the bad part is just the delivery.

>Oh, but the only "ugly" female enemies in the game are Misuzu and maybe Mami and Hasebe if you stretch, so most of the female enemies you face are attractive.
Dude what? Misuzu and Mami are obviously ugly, but why the hell would you lump Hasebe in with them?

I have played the game, it's not fun and can only be bearable when you have some punk music playing. The controls are way too janky and unresponsive, there's input delays on guarding and you start with far FAR too little in terms of attacks that it's boring to get to the first dojo. The sprites may look nice but THAT'S FUCKING IT. The actual art is poorly done, the OST made me turn it off when the first vocal song was the slowest thing imaginable and it expected me to beat people up while it played. I turned voices off immediately and even changed text to Japanese despite turning the subtitles off just to be sure that any localizer-tier faggotry could be ignored in its entirety.

Seattle Death Note in beat'em up form with dialogue written by NISA

Here's my nomination for the game's equivalent to squandering Willem Dafoe on a big piece of shit:

>Are you having fun?
Yep, having mad lols at the shills.

I don't think you looked at the posts I quoted.

You guys do realise that it's a western-developed game, right? There's no localisation going on here.

And that's exactly why it is shit.

Hey the writers will have you know that their creativity goes far beyond what NISA is capable of and NISA limits their potential.

my only fucking issue is that i only have one controller and my wife is using it so im forced to use the fucking keyboard since shes retarded otherwise, but besides that, its a super cute game and a hell of a lot easier than fucking more recent beat em ups ive played.
anyone that complains about difficulty is a grade a shitter and a cuck.

Notice I said localizer-TIER. As in if I knew nothing about this game except it's based off of Kunio-kun I'd assume NISA did the script the second I saw that cancerous writing and dialogue.
There may be no "localization" but the script is a note for note copy of what you could expect if pic-related "localized" it.

1.- Yakuzas were always a thing in the Kunio world, Sabu is technically the Bowser to Kunio's Mario.

2.- This game is considered in japan as a GAIDEN, as in ANOTHER STORY, aka: THE EVENTS PROBABLY ARENT TRUE TO THE ACTUAL CANON.

theres no reason to complain about the lore of a franchise whose canon is already pretty fucking wobbly.

And the actual Yakuza games do address those things. There are botched deals, the whole Yakuza JAV manipulation deal is played with, the standard "people die doing bad shit". I mean if you're trying to imply that this game is comparable to the Yakuza games in terms of gameplay or story I don't know what to say man, you do you?

>This game is considered in japan as a GAIDEN, as in ANOTHER STORY, aka: THE EVENTS PROBABLY ARENT TRUE TO THE ACTUAL CANON
Why does WayForward care again? I mean outside of maybe doing another project with Arin and friends, why do they care about canon or what Japan thinks? The point here isn't whether their representation of the lore is correct, the point is that WayForward doesn't give a damn about anything.

Male/female is a duality easier to understand to any human being, even those who don't know anything about video games, compared to video game specific terms. It's only natural it'd have more tags.

It's the same guy who did Double Dragons where enemies do the same thing. Hitstun doesn't exist.

Ok, so you hate wayforward then? Hmmm, fine.

If you have read their interviews about the game then you would know Arcsys actually supervised the games development and told them how things should go. So yeah, you might think wayforward doesnt care and just want to ruin the japanese lore out of spite towards (you), but this was a decision of the actual owners of the IP, as well as labeling this game as literal NON-CANON to the main series.

You have no place here.

Is this that magical interview where WayForward's writers talked about how they didn't have a clue how to write the characters so they asked ArcSys and ArcSys didn't give a shit so they decided to make that the characters' defining features.

Or are you talking about the marketing where WayForward couldn't decide if ArcSys was supposed to be executive, or if Technos should be consulted, or if ArcSys should be credited just for overseeing the fighting system?

There's also this one which has some complaints but not a lot of the problems people mentioned in the previous threads here, like Misuzu's dumb AI, the bad hitboxes, the unreliable stomp, or the wakeup attacks.

You'll soon get the ability to do fetch quests in the open world while being hounded by enemies everywhere.

hard mode enemies have more hp?

I hope not, they're already spongy enough on normal.

This is the company that's known for Shantae, and literally Shantae's whole selling point was "cute grill"

>clearly hitting an enemy

I fucking hate the collision in this game

Also enemies are sponges that take way too long to kill, even when I'm busting out combos. The worst is being stuck with one enemy who just doesn't fucking die and having to wait for them to keep getting up over and over.

You're defining the main characters abilities/trait, based on other characters/antagonists personalities?
WTF?
No matter what the guys do, it wouldnt change the main characters personalities or capabilities.
(Also, who actually buys the game for "yas gurl powa"?)

As a Wayforward fan, I find this shit super off putting. I feel like supporting this game is supporting a channel I really don't care for. It puts me in a needlessly awkward position. If I don't buy the game, I miss out on supporting a developer I like. If I do, It's likely they take sales as a message to continue cramming e-celebs into their games... I will be absolutely pissed if we get shit like Markiplier in Shantae.

Capcom beat em ups. A lot of jab n jogs copied Final Fight for a reason.

It's considered a main draw of the series in Japan. A lot of the modern games still use the sprite style of the early games in the series.

The true way to support a company is to realize when it fucks up. This is one of those times.

Play Streets of Rage 2 on hardest and you will see what a good beatemup experience is like.

Same for me user. That doesn't mean you can't still play it. Just wait for it to get dirt cheap like I am.

I haven't played the game so I'm just gonna use the free Kunio thread to talk about the 3ds games.
Anyone else felt disappointed by them? They had the perfect chance to improve on the NES game even if they weren't going to change that much but every game has a big flaw. Tokyo rumble it's repetitive as shit and the equipment items are almost useless andRival Showdown has basically no fighting until the end of the third day and most of the game its spent on shitty dialogue and running around the empty as fuck city. The medieval game was pretty cool even if the setting was a bit uninteresting
Guess we are doomed to never have a good kunio outside Banka and RCR

>What is torrents
Do you faggots actually buy games before trying them out?

Underrated

I would like this game a lot more if enemies died faster
Even with purchased moves it takes too long, I'm feeling bored

I haven't gotten the gritty, but playful feel of River City since the first game. I just want kenka bancho beat-em up through the streets with some super powered bosses, and tons of secrets and unlockables throughout the world to make subsequent playthroughs fun and varied.
Why is that so much man?

You can't say that when Battleborn and any SegaCD, Saturn or PlayStation 1 game not dubbed by Working Designs, Square or Capcom exist.

There's supporting a company and there's being a blind fanboy. If you truly like wayforward and don't like these practices, don't buy it and make sure it's known why you didn't buy it.

Just wait for the post-Brexit prices.

Punch her lots. Don't let her big laser-like attack hit you because that's literally the only dangerous attack she has.

No thanks. I only play games with single women.

And having a game calling you an idiot and spit on your face for liking action and games just so you can pay attention to a pretentious story about how we are now living in a shithole is justifiable?

sorry, but RCG's story is good, its just supposed to be fun, 4th wall breaking is common in the Kunio world and stupider shit has happened before. tldr: you arent supposed to take it seriously like MGS2.

>giving negative reviews for a few crashes and easily patched fps drops

What a bunch of ADHD babies..

But the grabs are still random. I can't performte a German Suplex consistently.

>Implying Working Designs is good

Except that's impossible because grabs have no button input and the action button is the same as the attack button.

Wholly shit liking the game so far but godammit what a stupid plot twist especially because the main girls look far better than the old ones.
Well then I am never complaining about Mario saving the princess again if I am going to get subverted like this.

What the hell? I use my special attack right as an enemy recovers, it plays the stupid ORAORA, but he still manages to knock me out before the special animation starts.

thanks for reminding me what i'll actually be spending my money on instead of river city garbage.

you must be austistic cause they move at a regular beat em up style game.

Enjoy your shit game.

What's wrong with that?
Now if he knocked you out after your attack animation started that would be an issue.

>spit on your face
making up the "opposite" as an occurrence doesnt invalidate his original point.
I feel the end result isnt a big deal, and the game is fine.

They shouldnt try to advertise something they dont intend to deliver on.

How do I tell which item raises which stat? It's not written on the item description at the shop.

It is. After you buy them.

Or at least hand the plot twist better at least, pull a silent hill and make a subtle realization that what you have been told and what’s going on are two different things slowly through the campaign

Fucking this.

So you admit that you play garbage games just so you can see some numbers increase like a fucking addict? Yikes. Ninja Warriors Once Again is actually a good beat em up with rock solid mechanics and a good level of challenge, not a halfassed piece of shit like any given RCR game

Once you play it a bit you'll be glad you pirated it.

making up? dude, that was the entire point of MGS2, anyone knows that all the insults and jerking around Raiden gets by everyone is actually directed to the player, because Kojima didnt liked that people wanted a MGS2.

Kojima got cocky and wanted to game a masterpiece to make feel the action fans bad and prove himself smarter than the others.

RCG's plot twist was just a joke, MGS2's plot twist was pretentious bullshit. sorry, but at least for me, RCG is the lesser of 2 evils.

Ah, i misunderstood you. nvm then, ignore my post.

At least MGS2's marketing lies (that's what this is about, remember) had a purpose. RCG is just "LOL I TROLL U" garbage

The cunts she summons can also be annoying if they get a attack in while you're trying to dodge the touhou spam. The whole thing is the worst designed shit I've ever seen.

You took MGS2 seriously? Get out of your own ass, it's a video game.

Western developed game, they don't have the budget to hire japs.

Kojima didnt like that they thought Solid Snake was an "old man" and wanted someone better looking the play as. He legit hated Raiden tho.

Not buying it.

It's a joke, you retard.

considering how internet society works now, yeah, kojima wanted us to take it seriously.

and again, RCG is just a simple action game featuring 2 crazy girls that has NOTHING to do with the actual japanese canon, considering that a 'LOL I TROLL U' moment is way stupider than people considering MGS2 story overall as a masterpiece.

>Entire premise of the game falls apart
>Because of a joke
Yeah a bad joke, like this game.

The entire premise is beating people up, you stupid cunt. Storyfags need to fucking die.

It doesn't fall apart, the premise is just a false one. It's not a particularly good joke, but you're a fucking sperg.

just a prank bro
just a social experiment

And considering how Kojima is now making pretentious shitty movies for Sony instead of a good video game, what Kojima wanted is shit.

God I'm so fucking sick of every attack making the enemy fall on the floor and I have to wait a fucking eternity for them to get back up just so I can do the same exact shit again this fucking gameplay sucks.

You know it's not a bad idea but it forces the idea that you want to retain your character. A rogue-like mentality with playthroughs that limit your total growth but have distinct play style paths you can take sounds like fun and a good way to promote replays.

i can understand Misako and Kyoko being Amy-tier clingy and unaware of their unrequited love for Riki and Kunio, but i am ready to agree that the whole photo thing and the plot impetus meaning jackshit was a bad call.

Why does some of the promo material show the guys and girls hanging out if the guys pretend like they barely know them in the game?

Your juggling is limited, even the strongest attacks like the power bomb or whatever that you unlock later in the game don't instakill enemies, and juggles do less damage in comparison. This is a retarded meme.

Is there any japanese voiceover option? Usually I stick to english voices but the dub in this game is fucking horrid.

What happened to the GOG.com and Humble Store release? I hope it's DRM-free in the latter.

No, and the English voiceover is not a dub, it's the original language.

It's already DRM free on steam

>playing as 2 literal cucks

Whatever you say.

It's a (air) grab and you better be precise in range and in hitting B + Y at the same time.

Are there unlockable characters? Asking for a friend.

You can only grab when enemies are stunned/dizzied. German Suplex is a back grab.

The joke is the director only knows of one Kunio game (Kunio-tachi no Banka) and doesn't know the lore of all the other games.

Who the fuck is calling this music good? It's lyrical pop shit or badly done retros minis.

Their health bars seem huge because they spend a fuckton of time getting up from falls unless you're outputting very optimized damage (and no, not by juggling before the retarded fanboy jumps in), if they got up quicker and you could lock down groups then you'd see their HP melt away like it's nothing from a continued assault.

How long is this game?

There might be something interesting hidden in there, but Jesus those enemies are boring

Why is there a female protagonist tag? What is its purpose exactly? Is there a male protagonist tag listed for games like Doom?

Christina Vee did voice casting. The devs did a video interview yesterday and specifically said she was in charge.

The game has some weird effect where the background shifts perspective as the camera moves, almost like a pseudo 3D effect.

Well holy fuck, she did an awful job. Just stick to VA work

>nepotism
Do anyone pretends this isn't a marketing shit to make people play the game?

Name 10.

On the contrary if they want the ironic weeb market they casted perfectly. They were casted for their names not their vocal talent

That's the exact same reason I bought it, figured it'd be nice to support this lone dude who made this game but I just couldn't handle it.

>capitalism bad

By itself it simply makes a deep and cool mechanic to situational, but when combined with no iframes and the massive throw arc it makes grabs & throws near worthless.

The only character I thought was really miscast was noize, or however you spell her name. She does not have the type of voice needed for a shouting rockstar.

>nepotism
That's for family members, this is called cronyism.

really, i pirate the game, and after playing it i bought it, is pretty good

Not saying it's bad

The throw arc is just what the fuck were they thinking, in Kunio-kun you throw an enemy and they fly off horizontally and knock enemies down causing a chain of dominoes, it's great. This shit is just leaving you lucky to hit one enemy at best.

Retard.

Can't patch out the ironic weeb writing and shit music, user.

The arc on throws is way too high but grabs are not worthless. You won't be doing them when the screen is filled with enemies, but if it's just a few, you can easily get away with a grab if the enemies are spread out enough.

>Hiring for fame instead of talent
Fucking everything you faggot.

But why the fuck would you? Punching enemies from a grab is useless, you can do the same damage just hitting them normally without locking yourself into place for the next three seconds.

I will wait for River City LGBT Edition

Did it occur to you that good story, voice acting, and music help to supplement a game as you play it, you stupid fucking autist?

It's true but that just comes back to how situational it is, when you're left with a couple of spread out enemies you can really do anything you want and get away with it. If a tool's only available in those scenarios it's kind of shit. And while the grab punches are ok in those situations, throws are consistently worthless on every level.

Did it occur to you they're called video GAMES, you stupid fucking autist?
I didn't pick this game up expecting a good story, or fantastic writing.

just fuck already

So what other games in the kunio series are worthwhile? I've only played RCR, the gba RCR, and dodgeball. Also the scott pilgrim game if you want to count that.

Where’s the cuck porn?

>throws are consistently worthless on every level.
That's true. I honestly don't know how you can make a beat'em up and fuck that up. At least the smaller pick ups fly straight.

It's a 2 hour game padded to 8 hours with a shit open world and fetch quests.

Okay then take out the artstyle, characters are only wire frames, have no personality, have no music, no SFX, and only functions. Because that's all that matters to you. clearly. Fucking retard.

It's a throwaway joke. You bumbling mongoloids keep whining about some feminist agenda but in reality the girls in this game are mostly here to be cute girls.

But you can just as easily finish them off by not grabbing them. It's not like KTNB where they can interrupt you mid-combo.

>Why did they even use the River City name instead of making their own new IP?

Because women can't make their own IPs.

damn. are the bosses at least fun from what you played?

I guess I'll wait for a sale

If the characters were just blank models in a white test room with no flashy vfx, the combat would still be fun, idiot.

Torrent up?

why do people think these girls were created by wayforward?

ya'll need some history

>But you can just as easily finish them off by not grabbing them
Yeah but that takes even longer.

The bosses are the worst part of it by far.

it's not even fun in the finished product. you are fucked in the head.

I don't know why beat em up devs keep repeatedly failing at implementing basic mechanics. How hard is it to play classic games for a few hours and study what makes them tick? Final Fight had all of these things on lock back in 89, and other games built on that foundation. Only recent game that nails the basics is Fight N Rage, the dev has experience with beat em ups and fighting games and it really shows.

Because this version of the characters is so far removed it might as well be it's own thing. This is prime "slapping a title on something so it'll be more recognizable" given mechanically, story, and visually it has nothing to do with the rest of the series.

I'm a shitter and seeing people saying the bosses are bad or cheap has me scratching my head. The only one that gave me real trouble was the guitar lady.

Buy the better nostalgia bait game instead.

Bad doesn't mean hard.

it's baffling. Fucking new fags man.

It absolutely is fun though.
Is enemy HP bloated? Yeah. Are the instant wake up attacks annoying? Yeah. Is the game ruined because of it? No.

Magnet like please.

I will not be playing it because the VAs are poop

The whole design is shit other than maybe the presentation, no amount of patching can fix this shit show, dude.

But I saw one person using hibari's fight specifically as an example. They complained about the adds being bullshit and I just thought, but they go down so easy.

Even if you were in a different thread there's no reason for you to link the image instead of the post, unless you're so new you don't know that you can link across threads.

all the people who cried shill have lost. pack it up

You can do what you want with your money yo, doesn't make you any less of a retard.

>Ha ha I bought a bad game to spite you, look at how cool I am
Enjoy your bad game I guess.

>The whole design
Nah, it's just some minor things that add up to hold the game back from being really fun. Over all it's still pretty good. Too bad it'll never get patched.

They're bad because they don't utilize the game's combat system at all, they're just basic dodge -> punch a few times when they're vulnerable western boss fights, and have bloated HP bars for how few attacks they have, they're cheap because some attacks are poorly implemented such as the goth girl's threads/bullets juggling the shit out of you and outputting wildly unpredictable damage, or Abobo's spinning elbow attack that tracks you in the most retarded way to the point where it might be undodgeable. These bosses made me miss the garbage boss fights from old school beat em ups because at least they were over quickly and had goons running around that made the fights more dynamic.

Could you be any more of a new fag, dude?

its a fun nod at the fact that Kunio and Rikki never really had canon GFs for more than one game, like the burn Hasebe makes about Kyoko and Misako being the main girl just during that one super famicom kunio game that never got released outside japan is totally true.

So once again a completely mediocre game by WayForward but people gobble it up because of cute girls.

Attached: 1554232249816.gif (512x384, 2.22M)

It's also a decent beat'em up.

I seriously doubt it considering how bloated their hp is. Just accept it already, you fucking shill nobody is buying this,

No it isn't.

RCR games have just been getting worse & more clunky. they keep bringing in these outsider dev teams for some reason and they have no clue how to bring the game in to the modern age. It's like they don't even play beat em ups & just looked at the nes game for a few minutes.

Big thanks.

>goth girl's threads/bullets juggling
That's another thing I had little trouble with. Not saying it didn't take a couple tries to get it down, but eventually I learned to handle it. I dunno, maybe I'm just a superior gamer.

>minior things.
>game is short is as fuck.
>has some of the worst bosses ever designed.

#17 on the NA eShop sales

No really, the stunner does a lot of damage. Add a couple of kicks before it an it'll deal with any enemy.

>n-no it''s not b-badly designed, y-you need to git g-gud"
You sound like a retard.

remember when the girls actually took a bullet for the boys? man if they knew how the future is...geesh

No you're just oblivious to clear problems with the game. I beat her on my second try on hard, and even then I noticed the problem since I would sometimes get hit for 2 damage and sometimes nearly half my health bar with it being completely unpredictable. Some user from last thread had it even worse apparently and I don't doubt it for a second with how janky that shit is

>game is short is as fuck.
Beat it last night.

If that were ture it makes the game even more repetitive and breaks up the flow. It's shit.

The game isn't short, it's far too long and uses endless padding to achieve that length. Could have made it a tight and memorable 40 minutes instead of the homogenous and tedious 4 something hours.

#7 in the Japanese eShop (title is considered digital only since LRG did the release)

>Could have made it a tight and memorable 40 minutes
Then you would just shitpost that it's 40min long.

What are the other 6?

>$30

Both of these are good, and probably a better use of your money.

No I wouldn't, all great 2D beat em ups are 40 minutes to an hour in length. Cut it out with these dumb shill vs anti-shill wars

>No you're just oblivious to clear problems with the game.
I'm not though. It's bullshit how her bullets can juggle you, resulting in taking a fuckton of damage, but the needle stuff wasn't bad.

After the constant shill threads I downloaded it and tried it out. Beat the first boss but can't stand the cringe conversations and the mediocre music. Also sorry I don't like the English VA either, maybe it's their lines, but it sounds bad.
The gameplay is ok. It felt a bit stiff at first but that's probably me getting used to it.
I don't think I'll play through all of it and this really would've been more enjoyable with someone else/my friends online.

Who the hell said anything about the needle? I said bullets and threads, the latter meaning the lines she starts spawning when she's lower on health, though they weren't as retarded for me as the bullet juggles

But I hate how they cling to the NES sprites.

>I said bullets and threads,
The thread is the needle. I guess I should've specified not the needle part you have to reflect back at her.

WF is paying ESLs to shill now, oof.

I have no idea what any of those above RCG except for FF8 are.

>shitty sprites with trash filters

Nah I'm good. The "iconic" look for Kunio is played out and ugly as fuck now.

>everyone who criticizes the game is the same person!
It's this kind of attitude that makes these threads even more of a shitshown than they could have been otherwise. I was one of the people who told the fag spamming the "only 6 levels 2 hours long" copypasta to fuck off repeatedly. Beat em ups shouldn't ever be longer than an hour.

$30 8 hour action game. That's pretty normal.

The irony is you just gave money to the sjw types you think you're sticking it to. Look up the writer on twitter.
Now keep in mind the author didn't put his politics into the game, his bad writing is strictly related to being a retard in general.

no it really is stiff. there's too much end lag on everything, you can't jump or guard when you should be able to because your 'return to idle' animations actually lock you out of doing anything.
but your enemies have faster attacks and can cancel shit. makes me want to play as the NPCs instead.

Very nearly broke the top 10 on steam too.

Sticking to?

The whole idea of Hibari is fucking awful in general, sure every other boss has that bullshit super armor part where you can't hit them, but they also aren't flying around like a fucking platformer boss.

Ok so neither of us experienced the thread juggles, yet both of us felt the dumb inconsistent bullet juggle first hand so what are you even disagreeing with? This shit is like if each time an enemy attacked you they did an rng check and did damage based on that, ranging from 2 bars to half health. Sure you can not get hit, but that's no excuse for such dumb inconsistency in punishment.

The game is half that long but it's padded out with a grind.

Markiplier making it into a game would be funny as fuck for all the wrong reasons

Nah, I got the superior stoner brawler.
