Where the fuck does the time go?

Great game.
Felt good when I hit level 3 for the first time.
And then in the next chapter I had more level 3 kills than any other level (even got level die).
Felt good.
My style was impetuous.
>>343457208
Is there any other game where you can customize fighting techniques like in God Hand?
>>343457905
The real-time difficulty scaling really is fucking brilliant.
>those vintage memes in the chihuahua race contestant names
Crazy how hilarious I thought this was. Would probably cringe my dick off if I saw a game doing it today.
>>343457208
God Hand is one of the greatest games of all time and if you disagree you are a flaming faggot beyond all measure.
only char action i cant beat on normal due to difficulty.
maybe 1 day
My friend used to be super nuts about this, to the point where he can area 1 and area 2 on two consoles at the same time without dying
>>343458649
Where abouts have you got to?
>>343458257
Chihuahua races are how you make the big bucks
Card gamblers can git out
>>343458649
Beating God Hand should really be the litmus test for deciding if someone knows their shit about hard games that do their difficulty right. Soulsfags need not apply
>>343459238
I never did the chihuahua races.
The card games seemed heavily in your favor, so I decided I didn't need to learn the races.
>>343458649
If you can't acquire skill, acquire patience.
>>343458257
The humor of the game really grew on me.
Stuff like the power rangers slowly rolling away made me laugh a lot.
Also when you knock all the guys out of the window in Olivia's apartment made me laugh.
>>343459667
they had the best theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnrxHwkqdpw
>>343459970
I've always wanted to hear this with Japanese lyrics and a live orchestra backing, just like a real sentai theme song.
Will we still be on 4chan in 10 more years?
>>343460280
fuck man, that's deep
>>343460280
Yes
For sure
>>343459523
You can do better than that.
>>343458649
God Hand on hard actually isn't as hard as you think. The game gives you predictable move sets by your enemies, 10 seconds of invincibillity for when a situation gets sticky, 2-4 free powerful moves you can use when you need them and a dodge that can avoid all attacks.
Seriously, God Hand is only hard on a Hard KMS run and that's because you rely one hundred percent on your skill in fighting instead of having a safety net of the God Hand and the Roulette Wheel.
If you ever want to git gud at God Hand. Check these videos out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27KrOee7uss
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahKQ_TqflGc
I watched them a year or so back and immensely improved.
>>343460805
What's the fun in not learning the game yourself?
>>343457208
Horrible game. It's the living proof Sonyfags enjoy shitty games.
What does it feel like to spank a girl's butt /v/?
>>343460954
By the time I watched those videos I had already finished God Hand on Normal twice, and once on Hard.
I actually watched those videos in a cocky sense, believing that I knew everything the game had to offer, and was shocked at what I didn't know even from the basic video. By watching both I improved how I played the game in a lot of ways.
Sometimes, you just miss things.

>>343461017
I LOVE IT
>>343461271
I prefer to knead it in my palms desu
I'm too good to stay below level die but too shit to survive on die. I would progress faster if I was a little worse at the game I think. Still love it though.
So like, the Kick Me sign playthrough is just a testament to how long you're willing to go without dying, right? It doesn't make the game harder or anything.
>>343461271
I can't not whistle like Gene after playing Godhand as many times as I have.
What were they trying to accomplish with the survival horror Resident Evil 4 tank controls?
>>343462019
A KMS run is where you can't use the God Hand from Stage 1-2 onward. No Roulette wheel either.
It makes the game immensely difficult. You have no fall back, you rely entirely on your skill and can't use the God Hand in any way.
It's a challenge, but fuck me. It's a hard one. I'm still stuck on mine after a year or so.
>>343462021
Same.
Everytime I hear it I do it after.
>>343458649
What are ya nervous?
>>343457578
I hate the first 2 seconds of that song because it always reminds me of those fucking retarded Kars for Kids radio commercials.
>>343460805
I gave up on my hard mode run when I got to the second 3 Stooges fight. Jesus that's rough.
>>343462409
I remember that, I managed to get 2 of them in my Dragon Kick and when you tap O to Pummel them.
Dealt a lot of damage that way.
By the way. A year ago I extracted all the sound effects from God Hand including Gene, Elvis, random grunts, and others. If anyone wants them. They can be found here.

>>343462409
I cheesed that fight good. If you run around the stage, you can abuse Felix's earthquake attack or whatever, and make him hit Bruce. Then it's just Conchita and Felix against you. It became a lot easier once Bruce died.

Probably this, and probably because Shinji Mikami had led the development of God Hand immediately after RE4 and was probably trying out new things with the perspective.
>>343463072
>probably
>>343460464
I can now, but my first attempt was fucking gruelling. A lot of fun though. Except for the times where I got lucky and the RNG gods blessed me with just the right items for the parts I was having trouble with.
>>343463290
There is a chance that he might maybe be right.
>>343462131
Not sure what they were trying to accomplish, but what they ended up accomplishing is making crowd control a huge part of gameplay and also rewarding as hell.
>>343463510
I was samefagging, you dip!
I'm still mad Platinum hasn't made a real successor to God Hand.
Bayonetta is great but it's more DMC than God Hand and that's natural since it's Kamiya. MadWorld/Anarchy Reigns were closer to God Hand and they come nowhere as close to matching the intensity God Hand features.
God Hand is literally one of a kind game and no one has even bothered to try to make a similar title. Especially not Capcom who snubbed Gene out of a spot in Marvel vs Capcom 3.
>>343463673
Beat em ups are all about flashy combos nowadays. No one appreciates tightly designed combat if it doesn't involve finger gymnastics.
>>343463673
It didn't sell well.
Platinum sure as hell won't do one for a while though, since their games don't sell well either, so they have been in the pickle they are in for a few years now.
Also, Shinji Mikami said he didn't want to direct any more games.
>>343463670
Then get a trip code, you trip!
>>343462985
At first it felt really clunky. But after a while it feels great. I would wager like 1/10th of the people who play it give it that long though.
>>343463673
I'm fine with God Hand standing alone as a pillar among lesser action games. What bothers me is when Suda is going to return to form making quirky weird shit instead of otaku pandering fanservice full of low brow jokes
I love this game alot even though I still havent beat it.
One of the few games alongside Yakuza1/2 I paid expensive ebay prices for.
>>343464180
It got a lot easier once I realized that you really want to use the right stick for maneuvering in the middle of combat and the left stick is more for dashing from mob to mob
>>343464206
His studio's been bought out by some company that makes mobile shovelware and his new "game" is F2P shit, he's done
>>343464206
>What bothers me is when Suda is going to return to form making quirky weird shit instead of otaku pandering fanservice full of low brow jokes
He's still doing Let It Die, which got rid of any sort of fanservice from Lily Bergamo and the artstyle as well.
Thanks anon, you fuck.
>>343458216
Birth By Sleep, to an extent, I guess. Same for Gladiator Begins.
There's also Remember Me, but that's a game to avoid entirely.
>>343458216
Radiata Stories.
>>343457208
shit game.
>>343457578
oh boy the one track in the game.
they really broke the bank on this didn't they?
>>343465527
Oh yeah? I started that game a while ago not even knowing you could customize movesets. Maybe I'll give it another go
![Kenka_Bancho_Badass_Rumble_Cover[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/wxrPg07.jpg "Kenka_Bancho_Badass_Rumble_Cover[1].jpg")
>>343458216
The combat is a lot slower than God Hand, though.
>>343465905
Yep. It made the game a lot more fun than it would have been otherwise. Every weapon type has a unique moveset and each move costs a certain amount to equip. As you level up you can make longer or more interesting combos.
Bought this game yesterday at a vidya shop. It's fucking amazing. Making your own combos and dodging everything feels great, it actually feels like a 3D beat-em-up. I haven't been playing it much because my little brother can't keep his hands off it.The only way it could better is if I could figure out how to remove this adhesive residue from a sticker that was placed around the center ring. It's gonna piss me off.
>>343466189
center ring as in on the disk?
places do that?
>>343466318
Sadly all manner of heresy is performed on used games in a lot of brick and mortar stores
>>343466318
Yep. Looks like the game used to be owned by Family Video. Least that's what it said on the sticker. Tried taking it off nice and slow and now there's a nice ring of left over adhesive around the center. Trying to remove stickers from vidya shit is the bane of my existence. An old copy of MGS3 has a dark circle on the cover from a sticker.
>>343462131
not imblying you are
but why is it always massive faggots who complain about tank controls?
>>343460456
>>343460280
I'd say for sure.
Just probably autist and leddit ridden like recently.
It'll be there just probably with a gayer moot and babies complaining about not being able to get past the title screen.
>>343467683
Because they are easy to adapt to so to complain about them you have to be an exceptinally whiny little babby
>>343459667
What happens when you knock the guys out of the window? I didn't know olivias apartment was a stage
>>343462629
You're a God among men, anon. I've been looking for this for so long
>>343462629
Big thanks, really appreciate it.
>>343458257
ALL IN ON LUCKY CLOVER. That dog has made me so much cash its crazy.
>>343468234
>>343468595
No problem friendos. There's a long story behind why I extracted them. It took me around 6 months to extract and correct all those files. If you ever want to read up on it, there's a info file in there.TL;DR: It was all for a L4D2 Workshop mod that has less than 300 subs.
>>343469048
link to that mod?
>>343459667
It's great.Even though I skip the cutscenes on a Hard KMS run.
>>343468126
He's talking about this webm.
>>343469159
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=492310107I made several others for the Boomer, Jockey and Spitter. I'm still creating an Elvis Tank Mod.
>>343463673
>Especially not Capcom who snubbed Gene out of a spot in Marvel vs Capcom 3.
That still makes me mad.
>>343463673
God Hand is really overhyped and it sold like shit so the fact it doesn't have any sort of successor isn't surprising.
>>343469281
I might just download L4D2 just to use this. You can never have too much Godhand, and I am desperate.

Thanks for the support. I have several other mods, Godhand and not if you want to check them out.
>>343462629
Every possible different notification on my phone will have a different but specific grunt from Godhand.
All because of you.
Thank you anon.

I have never knew how much I wanted this.
Thank you anon.

Not to mention,
much sexier than you
>>343462131
it was made from the same engine. even the hud is similar.
they probably thought it would be fun if leon was really a kung fu badass and made an entire game out of it
>>343462131
allows you to map dodging to the right analogue stick?
Seems like everyone forgets this
>>343466113
Fuck, will there be any translation for the other Kenka Bancho ?
So is it better to get the upgrades that increase the number of square attacks or not?
Having more attacks is great but with less the cycle repeats faster.
>>343465690
There's only Sultry Night, Gene's Rock-a-bye and Broncobuster.
>>343457208
>I remember talking about this game with /v/ when it came out
hahaha fuck
>>343475818
Nope, you will put out less dps because you have to use a weaker attack to fill out your cycle before using the strong ones again.
Granted, if you're doing a KMS run it doesn't matter as much as you'll probs just be dodge canceling most shit and rarely ever cycle through you're while set anyways.
>>343462629
So you're the champ who ripped them all. Big thanks to you, I downloaded them some time last year and had a blast with them all.
I approve this thread
>>343469849
Okami sold just as bad and still got more than God Hand.
>>343476126
Man, time flies, doesn't it?
>>343477836
I'll be dead soon
How did the reviews get it so wrong?
>>343458649
the only way I beat the game is abusing the kick an enemy against the wall trick.
>>343478580
they couldn't beat the first level and took the game as a serious story/fighter.
Only real complaint is the camera.
>>343476619
that's a good point. and okami is terrible. huh.
>>343460464
cum on, step it up
>>343479038
I wish there was a spiritual successor with normal controls. tank controls just don't gel with this type of game. I don't know what mikami's deal is. I guess a tank saved his life or something.
>>343479086
okami is just a longer and slightly less polished zelda
can't really hate it, but it does get a little too much praise
>>343479086
Funnily enough Okami actually holds the world record for being the worst selling GOTY winner.
>>343479114
Now post your game clear screenshot.
>>343479818
can't, I'mstuck on three stooges at the same time for my KMS run

I just want to say that this game got bad reviews by my favorite gaming magazine at the time, EGM. And i believe that /v/ only pretends to like it to troll fools.

Thanks all.
I'm playing this game for the first time now, it's pretty hard but I'm getting the hang of it. About to fight Elvis I think. Got lvl 3 when fighting the gay twins.
>>343481273
pro tip is that the front dodge dodges pretty much every move that doesnt involve the enemy jumping on you
>>343481014
No. He said even before Evil Within's release that the game will be his last.
>>343481014
he said that before The Evil Within even came out. Mikami was training some younger people to take his place, but Bethesda bought Tango Gameworks and pulled him out of retirement for one last big score
I'd seen a lot of stuff about this game on here but finally checked it out and watched some videos which looked pretty fucking good. My PS2 isn't running any more, is it safe to get the PSN version?
Also, give it to me straight anons, how hard is it really? I like challenging games and am not afraid of getting my ass kicked.
>>343482393
Yeah grab it on PSN.
At first you're really gonna struggle with it, because you're kinda just thrown straight into the deep end, but if you're committed to sticking through it then it's an absolute blast. It's hard, but fair.
>>343482393
It's not too hard once you learn how to properly abuse God Hand mode and the Roulette abilities.
>>343457208
>nobody has posted the ending credits song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7jJ3sjbp2M
>>343482393
It isn't very hard. Normal is tougher than games like DMC, MGRR and such on hard but not by a whole lot. Hard mode is significantly more difficult and can take you twice as long to beat as normal mode but it's still not very difficult. I doubt you'll be stuck on any level for more than an hour even on hard mode. If you play old school beat em ups then there's absolutely nothing in God Hand you can't handle.
>>343460280
Not sure.
I forsee 4chan unironically going the route of reddit when a new generation js old enough to browse here
>>343482393
probably platinum's hardest game
it's forgiving in that it doesn't punish you much for dying, but you will die a ton your first few playthroughs
helpful hints: front dodge + triangle does a leg sweep. Do this mid-enemy attack to trip
forward + triangle on a downed enemy does an axe kick which bounces them up. press triangle again after a knee to hit them even further up
forward + triangle on an enemy who was juggled does a kick that sends them flying foward, knocks all enemies near you away
back + triangle on a juggled enemy punches them upward even further
