>Covering Golden Age and probably Black Swordsman.
Fuck. Yes.
>It's a Musou.
Oh well. Maybe it'll still be good? The Sengoku Basara games were, okayish? From the interviews ive read so far they seem to be pretty passionate about the manga and want to replicate to "look and feel" of the manga and the 97 series.
Game play sometime in the next month and new details plus screenshots in the next famitsu.
Fuck it, i'm hyped.

>Covering Golden Age and probably Black Swordsman.
Oh fuck off. Give me a Conviction vidya/anime/movie already.
>>341883119
>Wanting golden age
Why? it has almost no monsters, and it only exists to give Guts an edgy backstory
>>341884505
he already had an "edgy" backstory
>>341884505
I don't want the entire game to be GA, but some of the game being GA would be cool. I'd love mostly BS and beyond though.
>>341884338
Souls games don't feel like Berserk at all to me. I know they were inspired here and there by Berserk but the actual gameplay of souls doesn't suit Berserk. Give me God Hand gameplay.
I lost hype after a few realizations.
1. Guts' character model looks like an old ugly man.
2. There won't be much dismemberment.
3. It's a musou, so A A B - B B A spam fest.
>>341883119
Give me a mousou like ken's rage and not like dynasty warriors.
Ken's rage has so actual combat against key characters while the rest is fodder.
Meanwhile Dynasty Warriors everything is fodder, Key characters are just "activate power mode and run them over".
>>341883119
I've always wanted to start this series, but never got around to it.
Can I understand the arc without knowing anything and just play the game?
>>341885342
Berserk is the only anime/manga worth investing time into. Don't be a faggot.
>>341884505
You are right but for the wrong reasons
Golden Age is has been represented way too many times in Berserk related media and it's basically played out.
>>341885170
Guts' character model?
>>341885412
I will still read it, just want to know if I could play the game first.
>>341885618
Yeah. his face isn't any good.
>>341885664
I wouldn't.
>>341885664
Don't be a faggot!
>>341885170
Hokuto games had and this is said to have be the darkest musou game, there's a lot of combos btw
>>341886397
No they didn't, they've never even tried to make a dark game before, and combos are bad for a Guts game and boring when you're just up against hordes of retards.
>>341883119
Sengoku Basara games are awesome but unfortunaly Basara made by different developer (Capcom).
So you can expect your usual braindead buttonmasher just like DW\SW\Orochi\whatever. Which is a fucking shame, Berserk deserve much better action game.
>>341885664
The manga is the best way to enjoy Berserk, so start with it.
Even if you already know the story, it's worth it just for the god-tier art. Miura's a perfectionist and an expert with a quarter century of experience, so there are tons of excellently detailed shots.
>>341886530
>and combos are bad for a Guts game
shut the hell up
It's a shame that it might not cover Lost Children/Conviction, but hopefully we'll get to play all of the Hawks
>>341887923
What do you know? Combos are bad for hack and slashers in general. Having control of your character is always better than mindlessly mashing buttons in a general direction.
>sexualising the casca
one job
>>341888024
Now that i think about it the reason Guts tortured the Count as much as he could was because that son of a bitch killed Pippin right in front of him.
>>341883119
>Sengoku basara is a musou series
I want this meme to die
>>341888154
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE7j0EO8CYY
shut the hell up
>>341888024
We'll get Conviction if only for playable Mozgus.
Also Conviction was ridiculously fucking important for the plot; it's where Griffith got reborn and Guts started traveling with Caska.
>>341883119
Why does /v/ like berserk so much? I swear to god you guys have the shittiest taste in anime so I'm surprised you like this one.
>>341888465
It's about a muscle god with a sword longer than himself, one eye and a metal arm fighting demons.
What's not to love?
>>341888465
Homolust
Basara is trash and way more repetitive than Musou
>>341888465
>anime
it's all about the manga m8
>>341888339
>comparing DMC to Musou
Never go full retard.
The worst thing that will come out of this is new Berserk fans. It used to be that JJBA was an alright thing to discuss, then the anime came out and the fanbase is completely abrasive and full of cunts. I'm glad the new anime is generic, cheap 3d shit to soften this blow.

Stop posting anytime
>>341885758
Have we seen his model yet?
>>341889086
Whats the top left one in the /v/ section?
I liked all the other ones there so I'm hoping I'll like that too
>>341889231
In the poster you can see they used the movie models. Those don't look too bad
>>341889054
DMC is a different genre entirely but okay you win..!
>>341889231
Yeah I didn't save the pic though.
>>341885170
If you just mash the A, A, A and the B, B, B and the A A, you will be sucked.
>>341889462
Next time be more precise with your terms.
And also, no combos do not take control away from your character. If you get gud then you have way more options. Lol @ you thinking that having no combos isn't exactly " mindlessly mashing buttons in a general direction."
>>341889385
Baccano no Pico
>>341889616
>Lol @ you thinking that having no combos isn't exactly " mindlessly mashing buttons in a general direction."
That's exactly how all musou's operate.
>>341889086
What anime is the one above Gurren Lagann?
>>341884797
dark souls is actually way slower than berserk would be
just because the sword is massive doesnt mean guts is slowly throwing it around like the greatswords in souls
>>341889747

>>341889385

>>341889086

>>341890071
BACCANO AND CROMARTIE
>>341889898
Thanks, bud.
>Berserk anime won't have Lost Children arc
I thought you and /a/ were joking.
PLEASE TELL ME YOUR JOKING STILL
If it's more like Ken's Rage and less like Arslan, it could be pretty good. Musou gameplay probably fits Berserk's mindless action perfectly. I just hope we have more linear stages rather than typical Warriors battlefields.
>>341889086

>>341890180

>>341890186
>>341890310
I didn't. The guy you think is me obviously clicked the wrong post. Reading comprehension is not difficult.
Haven't read Berserk in years.
Is the pacing still so glacial that it feels like another 25 years will be needed to finish the series?
Fuck. Yes.
I'm hyped too senpai
>>341890328
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?
>>341890186
They won't even show nipples, all tits will have no nipples (check the trailer where guts kidnaps farnese) there's no way they can show child psuedo-fairies rapemurdering eachother.
The anime is already dogshit and it hasn't even started yet.
>>341888296
this
How loose do you think Griffith's sphincter is?
>>341890964
About as loose as Guts'
>tfw you will never experience the pleasure of being cummed inside
Just sacrifice me now
>>341885170
>>341885170
Models look pretty good. Blood seems in.
Idk what you're complaining about.
>>341890328
Is this a deleted scene or something? I don't remember this.
>>341891253
Dismemberment isn't though and Guts looks 20 years older than he should.
>>341890013
>Mindlessly mash one button because they game never gives you an incentive to press anything else.
>"It's the players fault!"
Bad game design. Don't worry though, it's common in DMC/Bayo too (total mashfests). NG is the only game that ensures you will press buttons. Not the guy you were talking to btw..
>>341891452
You should probably wait for some gameplay
>>341891452
Its a low res picture of him snarling real hard. Why are you so negative? It's like you WANT it to be bad
>>341889086
/m/ loves Samurai Flamenco, as well. So that could go into both.
/m/ and /v/ both have arguments for being in first place, but after whichever one is second, there's a massive power gap before /a/'s third place spot.
>>341891253
>Guts has Dragonslayer and Berserk Armor
>Femto in the back
>people are stupid enough to think its only Golden Age
>>341889741
You try that on higher difficulties and you're dead within seconds or you lose the objective and lose.
>>341891452
What makes you think dismemberment won't be in? Fist of the North Star had dudes exploding their guts all over the camera.
And if it's about the amount of parts that the game can process, all of the Gundam games have "dismemberment" as well, with arms and heads flying everywhere before exploding.
>>341891618
It's a Japanese musou game. There will be none.
>>341891705
He looks old as fuck.
>>341891452
Isn't that the PS2 game?
>>341891843
Well that appears at the very end, so, you know. I'm not saying it won't go further, but its not unreasonable to assume it won't go further than the movies, where Guts fights some spirits and demons as the BLACKED swordsman at the end
>>341891985
>He looks old as fuck.
who honestly cares, I know i wont be staring at Guts when im too busy chopping shit apart
>>341891947
not him but it will NOT have dismemberment
>>341892091
They said it BEGINS at Golden Age, not where it ends.
All the anxiety about this is just people who dont know how to read.
>>341891607
You have plenty of incentive to use your entire moveset in musou games, as each combo ender hits different ranges and has different damage outputs, not to mention the longer your combo the more likely you are to eat an attack that interrupts you.
>>341884071
Conviction will be in the anime this year.
>>341891947
>What makes you think dismemberment won't be in?
Japan's rating system and Omega Force's style of development.
>Fist of the North Star had dudes exploding their guts all over the camera.
Yes but it didn't have dismemberment.
>>341892112
Who honestly cares about what the main character of the game looks like? It doesn't matter if his model isn't genuine to the source.
>>341892210
Yeah, BEGINS at the golden age. So it logically will END after the golden age
>>341888870
I would vomit if they made guts where he could do that kind of shit.
>>341892474
Where did you learn logic?
>>341892474
what makes you say that?
New details are on the 23rd, right?
>>341883119
>"le edgy obscure manga" is getting a new videogame
>its gonna be a game made in the same genre as the repetitive shit over the top motherfucking weeb shit made by japanese treyarch/infinity ward
>>341891365
Its gotta be. Im pretty positive they never animated that far into the black swordsman arc
>>341892425
He looks like Guts, you're arguing about minuscule particulars that have nothing to do with how the game actually plays.
>>341890964
Probably not very considering he's got two new bodies now.
>>341892787
>le edgy obscure manga
have a (you)
>>341891365
>>341892792
it's part of the original golden age anime before the eclipse you retards, rickert's group got murdered by apostles gathering and he saw rosine there. it's an easter egg, nothing more.
>>341891452
Thats the ps2 game.
>>341892562
>>341892575
Can you faggots not read? I said I wasn't saying the game wouldn't go further. I was simply saying that its not ridiculous to assume it'll follow the movies and end like them, thus explaining why there's black swordsman Guts on the poster.
I'm not against the fucking game going further or arguing that it won't. I'm making a case for people saying it won't go further. Going by what we know, which is nothing, its not crazy that they'll stop after the golden age
>>341892841
He looks like Guts if you put him through in20years.com.
>>341892975
calm the fuck down
i never nothing like you said and speak for yourself because you didn't read shit either
>>341892425
I'm confused. Where does he look old as fuck? Everything ive seen so far is just him after the golden arc.
>>341892975
>Yeah, BEGINS at the golden age. So it logically will END after the golden age
This is not a logical assumption, that's all I'm saying.
The point is driven home now that the anime is covering events all the way up to ToC.
>>341892923
Ah, that makes sense. Its been a while since ive seen the anime.
>>341893089
We're talking about the game dude
Is it true that they are on a boat for several years in the manga?
>>341893257
Its obviously a timed release m8, you really think they're going to fuck over the game when the anime is right there? Especially since the last legitimate Berserk game went all the way up to fucking Millennium Falcon arc?
>>341893358
yes
it's over now tho
>>341893358
Literally 7 years, they only got off it on the most recent chapter which was also about 7 months ago and then the manga went on hiatus because Miura had to help out with the new anime.
Regular monthly chapters are coming back starting on the 24th of this month thankfully, we could possibly get 5 more entire chapters for the rest of the year
>>341892425
there has n't been any media of what he looks like, you've done nothing but post his face from the PS2 game. You can troll but don't be stupid on accident.
>>341888863
>this won't be in the anime
She made an appearance in the old one. I wonder why they're cutting it. She's not exactly a kid anymore and the nudity isn't on the foreground. She's my favorite apostle too, damn it. Also weird for the rest of the cast since this arc is kind of important as a setup for convinction. Gonna have to make filler now instead.
>>341889086
I felt the need to fix this
>>341893535
>You can troll but don't be stupid on accident.
Hilarious coming from a retard like you. Holy shit.

>>341893610
Thanks anon Ill add those to the list
>>341883119
I've always found with Musous that as long as you're invested in the world, the gameplay becomes a little more enjoyable. Berserk will be a fun game game for Berserk fans, but probably a shitty game for those who don't like the world.
>>341893380
Wow and you're giving me shit over making the case that assuming the warriors game that is beginning at the golden age will end after it. Yeah that's illogical but actually believing it's gonna all the way to millennium falcon is completely logical and reasonable. Fuck you nigger
>>341893486
>>341893509
So they never left the boat for 7 real life years? How can you possibly progress the story and keep it fresh? Are they just fighting pirates and sea monsters and why did the writers think it was a good idea?
>>341893882
there were like 10 chapters in these 7 years
>>341893882
There were only a few volumes in that period. It was like a week in the manga timeline
>>341893945
Why is it taking them so long? Isn't it a very popular manga?
>>341893872
What you said was more stupid than anything I ever said in this thread.
>>341893358
For about eight years real time.
>>341893610
>Removing HxH and SamFlam
Now I love Yugioh as much as the next guy but let's not meme too hard now
>>341894050

>not fighting monsters
why even bother? fucking golden age once again.
>>341894057
delete this
>Casca has now been a potato longer than she wasn't a potato
>>341894050
The one author does everything (drawing, story, etc.) with no help. The only thing someone else does is publish it. That, and Miura takes long breaks whenever he wants to play video games.
He's a master artist and troll at the same time.
I was really hoping it was a Hellsing Musou from the countdown site, it's my dream Musou. I have never been into Berserk, kinda the same with FotNS until the Musou game came out. Still it's a huge problem when a Musou game is based on a manga, certain details and characters go missing in order to work around the Mosou gameplay.
>>341894292
Imagine being a newfag to Berserk and fighting humans, then getting to Zodd.
You shit yourself and barely manage to damage him.Then he transforms.
>>341894306
She's a shit character anyways.
>>341888465
But Berserk is also pretty shit, so it makes sense.
>>341894496
Hellsing would be cool.
>>341894543
>tfw there will never be a good Berserk game where this would actually give you feels.
Zodd is really hard in the PS2 game though but the production values just aren't there.
>>341893842
I haven't found that to be true at all, I've found the opposite actually. Being a fan of the property sets my expectations too high.
The more I like a property the more I dislike the musou adaptations. Before I read the romance I didn't give a shit about their depiction of characters like Chen Gong and getting into the three kingdoms mythos has made me appreciate the dynasty warriors games far less despite the fact they introduced me to the setting to begin with.
Another example was being a Gundam fan made me far more critical of those games than I was of other Musou titles.
I feel I'll probably feel the same way about Berserk musou as I did about Gundam and the Three Kingdoms games after reading it.
>>341883119
I'm just happy there is an anime and a game
I love berserk but it's an unpopular seinen that only weeaboo know about, it will never be as popular as all the kids shonen
I played the ps2 game and it was shit, repetitive shit with nice cutscenes
it's a 30 years old manda, we're in 2016 and he got off the boat, there is an anime, a game, it will boost it popularity and maybe someday berserk will have the adaption it deserves
give me a shitty video game, I'll be happy
I haven't read Berserk in years, is it time to pick it up again?
>>341894837
Berserk is actually popular though.

>>341894152
Yeah but I think that's too niche to claim it as /v/'s taste as a whole.
A lot of the /v/ sections seemed far too niche for /v/ If we're talking about /v/ in a general sense. Case in point all those people who couldn't recognize stuff from the /v/ section, which should be stuff they know. It should be pretty obvious for everyone on /v/ to name the majority of the things in it's section and if not name them at least know what they're about.
Will the Berserk is good meme ever fucking die?
>>341895129
I dunno, she was ruined in the new chapters.
>>341893610
>removing HxH
But that's like the only good show on our's side
>>341894695
I dunno, Guts. That bag looks mysteriously like a purse.
>>341883119
Let's be honest, is there seriously any other genre that would work for a Berserk game? All he's known for is slaughtering tons of monsters at once.
>>341895243
She's still a wise good looking whore and that's good
>>341895494

>>341895494
you'd think some of these pricks want a turn based game from the way they talk
>>341895715
Nah. If the big point is setpieces and bossfights might as well cut to the chase and make it a pure action game with no open world filler.
>>341895494
>>341895724
Berserk ps2 game had good gameplay, musous don't.
>>341895494
Something like DMC but with no cuhrazy airdashing and a weighty weapon (but not slow as shit like in Souls)
>>341895715
Not really because most of the time he really doesn't give a fuck about other people's problems.
Plus this would only work with Black Swordsman to Lost Children since that is the main time he is hunting down and killing Apostles.
>>341884071
>Give me a Conviction vidya/anime/movie already.
This game is probably going to adapt everything from the beginning to the end of Conviction, since the new anime is going up to at least volume 20. There's a high chance it's actually going to be the most comprehensive adaptation of Berserk in 20 years.
>>341892425

Berserk open world action game would be GOAT. Make the world completely massive and have Guts make his way through it, looking for Griffith. Add in a very basic needs mechanics so you have to sleep and eat during the day and do quests/mercenary stuff to get gold.

That's just for the trailer, retard. There will be nipples in the full broadcast, they're just not going to put them in an advertisement.
>>341896002
This. Dragon's Dogma, but with a larger and more densely populated world and some Witcher 3 style side quests would be the GOAT Berserk game.
>>341896036
Guts does not fucking pirouette.
>>341895971
>At least there will be demon dismemberment.
Huh. What demons? It's set in the golden age.
>>341895974
Controls and animations, sorry. The gameplay is better than musous which add in ridiculously inane objectives on top of the gameplay that's identical to the PS2 game.
At least the PS2 game had enemies that actually attacked you, it can be quite hard.
>>341895826
Has about the same amount of gameplay complexity as a God of War game. Hell even a Devil May Cry game if I really wanted to sound like a douche.
>>341893596
>I wonder why they're cutting itAdult Attack!
So long as the opening theme is composed by Hirasawa and they somehow get the original voice cast for the English voice overs for the game I am all in.
>>341888465
Everyones loves Berserk. It's like Fist of the North Star in that regard.
>>341896002
Dragon's Dogma was a bit bland for my taste, like an offline MMO
Would rather have something like MGR where its a solid campaign based off the manga then loads of side missions in another menu
>>341896036
>>341896247
They're talking about the way you control Witcher. The combat in the PS2 game and Witcher isn't very different, The PS2 Berserk game just did it 100x better.
Basically animation sets controlled by the direction you're pushing the character. Rather than garbage combo systems.
>>341896270
Those games use basically the same combo systems as musous, the only reason they're complex is because you can juggle enemies and they have different attack patterns.
>>341895279
It wasn't about quality but visibility and ubiquity I just don't think most of /v/ knows what it is and likes it in the way they know Berserk or DBZ.
That awkward animu girl for instance, probably the least deserving entry, I've personally never seen that anime and why I kept the picture small but I remember people used to story time her comics here, make threads about it, people on /v/ apparently even sent pictures of their dicks to the creator so in that way there is something I can point to to prove that /v/ likes this thing at least a notable amount do.
>>341896314
there's no SJW in japan they say...
>>341895494
what about the dreamcast game?
it was damn good, and it wasn't a musou.
also, it was one of the games that used QTE in a cool way.
>>341895494
Something similar to Dragon's Dogma maybe? It had weighty greatswords; you'd just need to speed up the attacks and add more combos and skills.
Dragon's Dogma also had actually dangerous nighttime, where it was dark as shit and stronger monsters came out, so you can do a more extreme version of that. During day you fight bandits and head to the next objective, but you're also trying to heal and gather ammo and supplies for nighttime, when you'll be swarmed with demons.
>>341893610

The pacing is fine if you read it right now. The arc feels longer than it is because of sparse updates.
>having to buy enough snake oil to keep you awake through the night
>having to kill the spirits of dead children
The game could be so good.
>>341896621
You can have difficult opponents in side missions and in the actual game, same with exploration off the beaten path. Most games do this.
And if your game is actually good the player will already be immersed, be it linear or not. Dead Space is a very good example.
I really dont care about NPCS when I just want the action. I've seen enough generic medieval peasants waiting to die.
Ooga booga where the apostles at?
>>341896264
>The gameplay is better than musous
The hell it is. You have a slow attack and a fast attack and you can and will endlessly mash them. That is the fucking gameplay. It's awful. No variety, no excitement, nothing. Crowds of enemies just come at you from every direction and you mash. At least in musou you can vary it up using different moves for different situations, guard breaks, horses, elemental charge, you have objectives and shit. In this game you just mash until your fingers bleed. It's only different in boss fights. Level design in it is also as simple as a game can get. It's just a really bad game.
>>341895049
so when did this "its not a purse" thing start?
is it an /a/ meme? its been awhile sense i read the manga.
>>341895971
It's skipping the lost children arc
At least with a Musou it's easy as fuck to make a lot of levels so they could easily do the whole story including elfland.
They did it for One Piece and that's way longer than Berserk.
I hope it has cape physics. Like, Arkham level.
We better be able to throw the cloak around to qasi-block arrows like Guts does that one time.

He's right though, /v/ is supposed to like entry-level/shit shows
>>341888465
Enlighten us, what manga or anime do you think is not shit?
>>341894837
>I love berserk but it's an unpopular seinen
Nigga, what are you talking about. Berserk is probably the face of the seinen demographic and usually ranks up there on "babbies first dark anime/manga" lists. Unlike a lot of other entry levels stuff it's actually good though.
>>341896595
see
>>341896539
For my reasoning.
It's not about quality it's more about I just don't think you can prove it's popular enough on /v/ to claim it's something /v/ as a whole likes. But if you feel so strongly open up MS paint and throw it back in, there's room right next to the Toonami logo.
>>341896961
Bagserk? Pretty long ago. Maybe 7-8 years.
>>341896867
If you don't get rest or keep yourself awake with like coca sprigs, your stamina caps and you can't use as many special moves. Keep it up, and you receive a health cap as well.
At maximum fatigue, your moveset alters to be slower and more sluggish.
Sleeping safely during night is impossible outside of rare safe areas like that cave near Goto's house, so you balance out daytime between resting/healing and gathering consumables like medical supplies, crossbow bolts, and cannonballs.
>>341883119

Holy fucking shit yes I love Musous
Fuck every single soulsfag up the ass, this game is gonna be great

Then killed some Scarecrows and immediately went back on hiatus.
>>341896913
I mean real exploration, not an alley with a token at the end of it. Difficult openents in DD compared to MGR are very, very different things. Killing the red drake before you're leveled up is a great experience that's very reminiscent of Berserk as a whole.
Haven't played Dead Space but Berserk's setting is in a populated kingdom rife with war and immigrants so I cannot see a linear game doing that aspect of the manga justice.
Imagine something like an apostle attacking a village and you trying to kill it while it's just eating people and making Guts mad. That would be great and if it was dynamic thanks to an open world, it could be GOAT.
>>341896928
Did you even play it? You can aim in the game and there is a wide variety of moves that all animate wonderfully. The focus is on dismembering, incapacitating, enemies so you can take out hordes. Just like the manga.
In liscensed musou games it barely even matters what moves you use, they all have the same effect.
Berserk had objectives that weren't retarded and it was hard.
Not saying it's good, but compared to musous it is.
>>341896961
I don't remember if it came from /a/ or /v/.
When did Japan become so sensitive about violence? 80s and 90s anime had some of the most gory shit I've ever scene.
>>341896480
That image is wrong. It should be Griffith fighting off casca for guts
>>341895716
>irregular releases
>>341893610
>no cormartie
faggot
>>341897235
Those charts are total bunk, a lot of the stuff on the /v/ (even /m/ parts) portion is liked by /a/. Especially Berserk, HxH, and Jojo.Doubly so with Nanoha and Symphogear/a/ is a pretty big reason that Jojo got reliable scans through most of SBR.
>>341897657
when SJWs took over
>>341897657
TV anime has always had different standards for violence. What you saw were movies and OVAs which aren't aired on television. They were also a product of economic booms that meant they could afford to blow lots of cash on stuff that wouldn't sell.
>>341897861
Don't listen to this retard. Japs don't listen to SJWs.
>>341897496
>I mean real exploration, not an alley with a token at the end of it. Difficult opponents in DD compared to MGR are very, very different things. Killing the red drake before you're leveled up is a great experience that's very reminiscent of Berserk as a whole.
I'm more in favor of a contained and directed experience, IMO open world is generally a waste of time and resources, especially for a game like Berserk when its biggest selling point is the action and the story. File it down to treat those basic elements well and you have your game.
Why bother constructing villages the player would only visit maybe twice when you can have a side mission in a menu that throws you right into an arena with the boss and his minions? then if you win you get somekind of reward. Replayability is only enhanced from there due to the ease of access.
Hell, you can even have a NIGHT TIME setting for missions that adds more enemies that are stronger and have different movesets. No need to bother constructing some open world.
>Haven't played Dead Space but Berserk's setting is in a populated kingdom rife with war and immigrants so I cannot see a linear game doing that aspect of the manga justice.
Guts is off the grid for most of the time and the manga pulls it off quite well.
>>341897496
Did you? In musou games you always have wide finishers, anti-officer finishers, safer moves and riskier moves, optional objectives, in many you have customization. In this game you have nothing but endlessly mashing and the boss fights are the only saving grace, there are like 4 of them.
>Berserk had objectives that weren't retarded
Like what objectives weren't "kill all the fucking enemies on the screen?" I remember you had to defend a gate at one point against trolls maybe but even that was just fucking "kill all the trolls" in the end, there was no difference, there was no chance of the gate failing if you play normally.
>>341898015
Also you get to have more content since its just a matte of making a small stage and adding enemies. No need to bullshit around tweaking at some large map.
>>341898015
I'm more into the scale of Guts' accomplishments when I read the manga than the action and story. I like sitting back and thinking about what he's done and where he's been and I'd like that expressed in a game.
Plus in general I can enjoy open world games for ten times longer than I can enjoy linear ones.
Having a game set in the Black Swordsman arc where Guts roamed around being on angry bastard, killing man and demon alike would be great. Much better than a game covering what we've already seen, with gameplay we've already experienced in some other game.
>>341898160
This really doesn't make sense since open world games usually have more content than linear ones, because they require it.
>>341895210
>>341897962
>1 person out of everyone on /v/ doesn't know what so-and-so is so it must not be that popular
i know you guys aren't that smart but come on.
>>341898517
>This really doesn't make sense since open world games usually have more content than linear ones, because they require it.
It does make sense.
Open world games require more content by design, but there's lots of filler inbetween, in the context of a Berserk game we're talking about pure combat missions which can simply be put into a side-mission menu and be done with it, plus you get to have a great many missions in one game. See games like MGS1/2 with the VR missions
>>341891985
That's the PS2 game you dumbfuck
>>341898015
>>341898517
Like that chapter where Farnese says Guts looks like he's the highlight of an epic fantasy painting.
I want a game that looked like that all the time, dynamically. While having a deep amount of gameplay and immersion behind the scenes.
Pure action games are so overrated.
>>341898842
Booring.
>>341898846
What?
>>341898895
imo Open World games are even more overrated
Theres a reason people were yawning at that shit at E3. A big map dosent make a good game.
>>341897386
what is a musou exactly?
>>341899018
Shitty open world games are overrated. It's possible to make a good one, that's why developers keep trying.
>>341899060
>"A series of large-scale beat 'em ups with the common thread being the ability to play from multiple sides, killing hundreds in a single battle, and various light RPG elements. Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors are the most prevalent of the series, with dozens of expansions and sequels between them."
Apparently
>>341898037
Not him but the ps2 game was pretty much what I wanted a Berserk game to be, just an endless hackandslash.
>>341899160
Hopefully a decent IP like Berserk isnt wasted on it. If I really wanted to play The Witcher or Dragon's Dogma I'd play them, I dont get into Berserk just to walk around a forest waiting for shit to happen.
>>341898581
Do you have any means to prove it is?
I don't recall any notable link between it and /v/. I get that you like the show a lot and I'm sure it's a fine show but that's not enough to say it's something /v/ in general likes. For example there are plenty of Berserk and DBZ threads where people end up just talking about the original property the whole time, or that /v/'s rage flash with row row fight the power, or /v/ sending pictures of their dick to the creator of that show, I don't think you can say the same about this.
>>341899389
>I dont get into Berserk just to walk around a forest waiting for shit to happen.
But the manga does. And that's my favorite part about it.
The Black Swordsman arc in its entirety is the best part of the series.
>>341897807
Interesting. Another mention of him being lonely. I wonder why? Blah, blah, overworking nerd, blah. He isn't unattractive, average at worst, and isn't even fifty. He is relatively famous in his scene, and will likely be reasonably well off.
Are japanese girls turned off by reasonable looking men with financial security or something?
I'm an unemployed NEET and am finding that if you put yourself out there right, there are women out there even for me. And I'm financially worthless.
>>341899539

The actual time it took them to ride the boat was 8 days.
And instead of making a joke about how, for us, it took SEVEN FUCKING YEARS to get off the boat,
they make a goddamned One Piece joke.
>>341899295
Sounds pretty cool, definetly seems to fit berserk more than a souls game. But i'd like to hear someone who played those type of games opinion.
>>341899493

He's 49, and being a workaholic is a turn off to a lot of women.

It was obvious from the start.

As someone who's never read berserk, does that mean rapehorse is gonna be in?
>>341900403
Nope, rapehorse is in dark swordsman.
>>341900234
Yeah, doing rereads of Berserk is heartwrenching when I go through Golden Age. The hardest part is that last bro moment between Guts and Griffith after they kill off Griffith's political rivals. All that genuine camaraderie and brotherhood over the past five volumes, and it's all gonna come crashing down.
>>341900470
Forgot to mention that I simply doubt the game will be with 2 arcs in it.
Reminder that Conviction is the best arc
>no armour
>no items
>no weapon

>>341897263
Oreimo
What other character will be playable? I dont want it to just devolve to variations of straight sword/ rapier users.
The Kushnan warrior prince, bridge knight with huge mustache, Zodd, archer apostle that turns into a centaur, and Mozguz will provide for some nice variety.
>>341900495
For me it was the end, when all the bros started to die. It is really fucked up, when you have no hope even to survive cause some sick fuck thought that you are a slave to his dream and have no dream of your own.
>>341899854
>He's 49,
And?
I can see workaholic, but unless he draws a lot of shit other than Berserk, he physically can't be a workaholic. He goes literal years between volumes.
Its not fair that a cowardly faggot that wont even get his hands dirty is chosen to have the privledge to be king and rule the world
>>341889086
>/m/ loves The Big O
Granted, that's the only place I've ever seen mention of it. Criminally underrated
>>341883119
Literally no reason to be hyped for this unless what you want is disappointment.
There is almost no attention to detail in Musou games, and the engine they use for these is often so shit that you feel like you're cutting grass instead of enemies.
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see how Berserk would work with the Musou formula, all it can do well is the "tons of enemies to kill" part of Berserk, which is the least interesting part. What about the progression, the level design, the presentation? Berserk is all about presentation, Musou are all about rehashing shit in large empty spaces.
>>341900665
got some more cool wallpapers like that?
>>341899060
>>341899636
See Dynasty Warriors ? That's Musou
>>341901339
If I wanted the pure Berserk experience I'd just read the manga, I really dont give a damn what the game does.
>>341900895
He has work on 3 mangas while doing Berserk, but they only have a handful of chapters. So no, he really likes taking long breaks.
>>341883119
>It's Musou
>Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Hyrule Warriors was ok and Kens Rage 2 was pretty based and the later Gundam Musous were great for the fans.
A new Berserk game is better than nothing, the best you can hope for is it sells well and they actually pump money into the sequel.
>>341901280
>only place I've ever seen mention of it
It was on Adult Swim, and was received enough attention that Adult Swim paid for a second season. The only place it was underrated was in Japan.
>>341895971
>in years
you mean ever
>>341901517
>it's either the pure manga experience or garbage Musou there is no in-between!!!
I don't know, don't you want an ADAPTATION of the manga into a video game instead of some bastardization of one aspect of the manga with no substance?
There is tons of way the manga could translate well into a video game, but for this the game's genre should be something that allow variety in level design and enemies encounters. Because in Berserk Guts isn't fighting hordes of enemies all the fucking time. Sometimes it's just packs of enemies and sometimes it's a boss with different phases while he's exploring or travelling across great environments.
>>341901629
I'm hoping it gets the treatment the Pirate Warriors games have received. The first was pretty good, but not great. They've expanded it into a series that gets better with each iteration, PW3 being great (for fans of the series).
I see the first game being GA arc, to test the water. Ends shortly after the eclipse. If it does well, they can continue with sequels, and make improvements on gameplay as they go.
>>341886530
>No they didn't

Drakengard was more of a Beserk game than Dark Souls, imo.
