Which is better?
>>334522259
Yes
>>334522259
Toukiden.
It depends on your taste and what youre lookig for.
>>334522695
Tru. I'm not sure desu. All I know is I love ARPGs. Currently playing thru Ys: Oath in Felghana.
>>334522259
Soul Sacrifice Delta
>>334523035
>The core mechanic of the game is the ability to sacrifice parts of the character's body or items to create devastating attacks
Is this as weird of a gimmick as it sounds?
>Toukiden
>Only on playstation
fucking sony lying on us
>>334523126
nah it's pretty standard
Which of these is most difficult? I don't like hard games
>>334523126
You can treat the item-based abilities as typical spells that run on charges. You can recharge them through various ways, and they also get refilled at the end of a mission.
As the the Black Rites (the body part sacrifice spells), I'd say they aren't really worth it, to be honest, aside from Berserker. Their damage output doesn't really scale all that well into the lategame.
>>334522259
>lock on
Go Monster Hunter or go home.
>>334523475
You can use the vine whip arm strategically to give other players the chance to wail on the boss while having continuous damage from the Black Rite.
I've been able to help players beat those missions where those two bosses just by having them focus on one long enough by using the rite and then keep focused because that boss' health is lower.
Every other rite is garbage tho.
Freedom Unite.
>>334523759
Watching some gameplay on Youtube, the camera looks like a dealbreaker to me desu
>>334523940
The Vita's second stick fixes the issues with the camera if you change the settings.
>>334524130
That didn't work out so well with the PS4 port of Type-0 tho
>>334524409
I've been playing Freedom Unite on the Vita for about 50 hours now. The difference between using the buttons and the stick was like the first man finding out meat tastes better after being cooked..
>>334523212
I don't see the lie. Toukiden is only on PlayStation. Kiwami is also on Steam.
>>334523529
>i like losing track of my enemy
>worse deaign is better cause it makes it harder XD
>>334522695
ya if ur looking for a shit game toukiden is for you
>>334525218
casual
>>334525218
The new Monster Hunter games do have lock-on, but not in the traditional sense. All you have to do is target the monster and tap a button to re-align the camera with the targeted mon. Really the only reason it has lock-on is because a lot of monsters move pretty quickly, and having them locked on all the time while they dash behind you would be a bit nauseating/annoying. The camera isn't a problem in the slightest after you get used to it.
>>334525218
You can enforce lock on on the 3DS Monster Hunters with a little bit of Gateshark code, it's awful, monsters move around too much for it to work nicely
>>334525218
keeping track of an enemies position is a skill anon
Anyone played Toukiden 2 demo? It's glorious.
>>334523035
>play SSD, think it's gonna be shit
>mfw reading the story
>and all the little side stories
>they have a story for each monster
>and every side quest has a twist
>and all these spells
>feel like a wizard
Probably one of my favorite games for it's story, it's pretty awesome.
I played the Toukiden demo and while I enjoyed using the rifle the other weapons felt like too much button mashing. The only ones that were fun to use were the club and the rifle.
MH all the way.
Played something like 20 hours of Toukiden and it's utter shit. They can't even clone Monster Hunter right.
>>334522259
Freedom Unite. Toukiden is trash, there are better monhun clones even on Vita.
>>334529918
How is it lad?
>>334525218
it's honestly better. monster hunter is a game all about control, and traditional lock-on hinders that by taking control of the camera away from you. having the camera persistently track a monster in a fight would probably end up making things feel more clunky and confusing than you'd imagine it already is.
on the side, this is why people still use the claw, even when a second analog is available: the ability to freely manipulate the camera along with using both the analog to move and the face buttons to take action lends a great deal of control to the player necessary to maintain full focus and maneuverability against the monster.
Toukiden is really bad.
Quite possibly the worst MH clone.
>>334522259
This one
>>334523126
No, it's actually trying to sugarcoat attacking and special skills. Nothing really special about it.
>>334530863
Toukiden + open world basically. They added tons of cool stuff:
2 new weapons (Sword Shield and Kunai Whip)
2 new way of using mitamas (set to your armor and Demon Arm)
Demon Arm for combat and traversing the world
New attacks for old weapons and all have midair attacks now using Demon Arm
A new mitama type you can summon and shoot elemental attacks
Open world stuff like roaming large monsters and random NPC battles
Tons of small enemies on screen, it's ridiculous
You can totally destroy limbs now, Gouenma will just be crawling the whole fight if you destroy it's leg.
Etc.
There's too much to list.
What are the chances of Toukiden 2 coming to PC? Not sure if I should grab it as soon as it comes out or wait for a potential port. I imagine the first game didn't do all that well on PC.
>>334531651
How did sword and shield feel lad?
>>334527157
No, actually. This was only added because of 3DS
>>334532129
Pretty fucking high. They even made a PS3 version
>>334532129
>>334532249
It is KOEI TECMO tho so expect a shit port
>>334531218
I'd give the nod to God Eater over Toukiden but none of them can really touch MH as of now.
MH's been around long enough to refine itself. GE and Toukiden are simply too new for a fair comparison.
>>334532479
>>334532249
Cool. In that case I'll wait on getting it. Based on what >>334531651 says it sounds pretty cool though. Like a huge step up from the previous game.
>>334532146
Much too complex for its own good, still cool though. Like MH's CB you need to build up meter on own form and dish out damage in the second form. I prefer the Kunai Whip, plant explosive kunais and explode them midair.
>>334532179
The "soft lockon" is already in Frontier a while ago.
>>334530215
Calixto was my fucking nigga.
>>334532859
*build up meter in one form
>>334532859
How's the range of the breaker attack? Decent reach?
>>334534272
Part breaker attack? You have to fill in the blue gauge first and use Demon Arm to target which limb to destroy once it's in phantom mode. Huge range.
>>334535489
Talking about the super attack that guarantees a part is broken. There's also the party meter that once filled gives you another super attack that breaks multiple parts (need to be close to your team mates to trigger it). Those are still in 2 right?
>>334535920
Sword Shield finisher attack is a jumping vertical slash so it's good to hit high targets. Team super attack is replaced by the limb destroyer thing which you can do while soloing. No more power of friendship.
>>334536368
Ah nice a vertical swing. Horizontal slashes a shit.
>>334532915
>>334522259
Freedom Wars followed closely by Soul Sacrifice Delta and then MH Portable Third.
Get@me famb
>>334531558
SOLD.
>>334522259
>psp monhun
Even Toukiden is better than that outdated garbage.
>>334538983
Freedom Wars story is garbage and later boss enemies become extreme damage sponges.
SSD has a better difficulty curve and characters to care about.
>>334539637
I agree that the story was dumb and could of used some work but the setting was fucking amazing. I really hope they make sequel.
>>334531558
>>334539889
I was sorely disappointed over the 1984 setting being kind of ignored. I never actually felt like you were a prisoner after getting free movement around the area so early in the game. It just felt like an Apartment.
Just played the Toukiden demo and it was pretty good will probably buy it after I go through some of my backlog
>>334531116
Nah, that's Ragnarok Odyssey
>>334522259
If you want a serious answer then I'd be happy to explain both.
Toukiden Kawami is a nice mix of Monster Hunter meets the speed of Dynasty Warriors. Each weapon feels different and each has their own skills which you can mix up with combos n shit like that. Story is pretty bland but hunting is on point. The monsters themselves can be pretty easy to deal with but it varies. Main goal is to chop pieces of their bodies off then go for the kill or you can just go ham right from the get go.
Freedom Unite is a game of patience and skill, and when I mean patience I mean like setting shit up , knowing your environment, knowing your weapons and armor, and knowing your timing. Its a real hunting simulator with a lot of management in the background. If you're looking to spend a lot of time killin shit then this is your game.
Tou = Fast fun and in your face till a bitch ass spider gives you discrace.
M. Hun = Hunting giant loud ass rabbits that will rip you the fuck to shreds.
How's the PC port by the way? Does coop even work ?
