Odyssey to the West
This game worth getting? How is it?
>>343561605
it's shit
>>343561605
The ending is LITERALLY Tameem's gigantic face on the whole screen, for 5 minutes, laughing at the player.
I don't know, you tell me.
And this isn't even exaggerrated.

If you want a GoW-style hack and slash it's fun.
It's actually one of those games that has no right in being as good as it is. It's pretty great.
It's ok at best. Combat is terrible, story is somewhat interesting.
>>343563685
This shit is nothing like GoW.
I hate this game because the gameplay is dull but fun, and the plot twist is so damn good.
>>343564008
>Tameem's gigantic face on screen, mocking you for straight up 5 minutes
>good plot twist
Kill yourself
>>343564008
its braindead fun*
>>343564102
>Tameem
Andy Serkis.
>>343564215
That's clearly Tameem
>>343564239
>>343564215
ANDY SERKIS IS... TAMEEM ANTONIADES
COMING THIS FALL
The plot twist is ripped off from the Matrix, it's quite shitty.
The entire game is straight up a ripoff of Journey to the West and the ending is a ripoff of The Matrix.
There is 0 originality in this.
Then the strong empowered feminazi womyn destroys the Matrix and leads mankind into ruin.
The End
The background designs are ok, sad that they are to the service of nothing, since the gameplay is fucking nothing.
>>343563556
That's Andy Serkis anon.
it's ok, the art direction was flawless (like most ninja theory games, that's the only positive thing they've got) everything else is shit/mediocre.
>>343564645
>>343564476
IT'S CLEARLY TAMEEN
HIS UGLY SELF INSERTING EGOMANIAC MUG
didn't bruce straley (the guy that directed uncharted 2, 3 and last of us) work on this game?
>>343564917
Are you okay, bro?
I played it around launch expecting nothing, and got a 7/10 game. Although I did borrow it from a friend, so not paying full price probably helped.
>>343564989
NO
I AM NOT OKEY
I WILL NEVER BE OKAY
YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE MY WRATH
MY RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE
>>343565310
Is this about DmC? Let it all out.
>>343565630
Yes, yes it fucking is.
I will never not be mad about it.
The fact I will never get DMC5 doesn't help.
I'm sorry for sperging but goddamn does that smug fucking cunt make me mad.
Andy Serkis is actually a good actor and I've got nothing against him btw.
The game is still painfully average and basically >>343564604
>>343565810
Don't worry bro, I will never not be mad about DmC too. I can still feel the pain.
>>343565810I genuinely liked it more over DMC 3 and 4.
>>343566178
KILL YOURSELF
GET CANCER AND DIE
I WISH I COULD FUCKING MURDER YOU, YOU FUCKING TURBOCASUAL PIECE OF SHIT
GODDAMN THANKS FOR MAKING ME ABSOLUTELY FUCKING LIVID AGAIN
I WISH I COULD FUCKING RAPE YOUR MOTHER AND YOUR SISTER, DEFECATE ON THEM, THEN FUCKING MURDER THEM, RAPE THEM, SHIT ON THEM AGAIN AND RIP OFF THEIR FUCKING HEADS AND SHOVE THEM UP YOUR FUCKING ASS
>>343561605
It's alright for one giant escort quest
>>343566276
you're nearly as edge as tameem himself
It's a fairly interesting game hampered by shit execution.
The melee is serviceable with a decent parry system, and the TPS segments and surfing segments (on the "cloud" hoverboard) are remarkably well constructed and integrated to the main concept for a game of this type.
Its biggest shortcoming is that it spends so much goddamn time playing itself; it's full of "platforming" segments that are really just climbing, and the climbing involves pushing the stick toward whatever single foothold is flashing white and mashing the button, and you literally cannot do it wrong
Like, in Infamous and asscreed, climbing is made at least moderately challenging by the fact that you might take a wrong path up and get stuck, or "jump" by a bad directional input and fall. In Enslaved, you watch Monkey climb and occasionally tap a button to remind the game that a human being is in fact holding a controller and looking at the screen.
I think that's the worst thing about the experience, because beyond that (the typically stupid as shit story notwithstanding) it's a serviceable action/shooter hybrid game with a pretty cool gigantic final boss, decent exploration and "stealth" segments, and not-totally-braindead puzzle design.
It's the sort of game that, if you liked the original Devil May Cry games or Bayonetta, you'd hate how much worse the core combat is but really appreciate how much better all the stuff outside the core combat is.

I HAVE TRANSCENDED EDGE AND BECOME PURE RAGE

>>343566497
Dude, we were making progress facing his rage, now you fuck it all up.
Now I'll go watch some fucking Lodoss War and its glorious 90s animation to cool down my rage.
>>343561605
Terrible. Another one of those linear list of chores for you to do games.
Its shit and it was a chore to play, I have the platinum trophy
>>343566276
Not him, and genuinely not baiting, I thought DmC was pretty good too.
The combat was slower and was simplified a lot, and the style system was broken as fuck. No question.
On the other hand, there was no wandering around a bunch of bullshit RE-tier mansions knocking gyro blades into statues or rolling dice on a fucking board game floor tile, and when you got halfway through the game it didn't send you back through it again in reverse order because they wasted the level design budget.
I feel like people forget that the original DMC titles weren't just Bloody Palace mode. There was a whole GAME in there too, outside the fights, and not a very good one. The movement was more rigid than a plank, the puzzles were stupid bullshit, the world was unbelievably poorly established, the pacing was trash, and most of the enemies were worthless punching bags you couldn't even have fun fighting until 80% of the way through the game when you had unlocked enough attacks and skills to actually DO shit.
So yeah, DmC made a number of mistakes at the core combat system level, and really totally dropped the ball on the high-level-play aspect, but as a total experience it was a far better game.
>>343566842
but it's just fake rage and knowing that makes thi much less funny. if he was being sincerely angry then we'd have a good time on our hands.
>>343566891
And to make it videogame related.
This game is a prequel to the series.
I intend to play it after I'm done watching.
Seems quite interesting.
http://www.romhacking.net/translations/2155/
And the series itself:
http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=529711
Goddamn beautiful 90s animation.
>>343567418
Literally the only good thing about DmC was the level design.
LITERALLY.
And it sucked even with that in the godawful Not-7up factory after you shift into demon world with god awful platforming straight out of Mario 64 with none of the fun.
It's a fucking shit game, the fact you hate level design in DMC1, 3 and 4 proves what a piece of shit casual you are. The fact you insult early RE-style puzzles is further proof of that.
The only bad thing about DMC4 was Dante not having his own levels and it is the only fucking valid complaint for that game.
bayonetta is better than the DMC series ever was and that's the honest truth that you fucks have to settle on
>>343561605
The first time around i remember having fun
Recently i played it again, and instead i was kinda disappointed
Half the game is platforming, but the platforming is safe as fuck, the kind that won't allow you to mistakenly jump off a cliff, your character authomatically goes for the closest ledge when you're allowed to jump. They add a bunch "OH SHIT NIGGA U'RE GONNA FALL" QTEs here and there so maybe you'll feel like you're doing something
The combat is fun enough, nothing spectacular. Haven't played on higher difficulties, but if you know what you're doing it's pretty easy. Bosses are very simplistic, usually you just have to wait for a certain moment to hit them
The story starts promising but ends up pretty meh. The characters are likeable and the world is pretty and interesting to explore, as it's interesting to wonder what the heck happened to make it that way, but nor the setting or the villains are fleshed out enough imo. In the ending you get a 2deep4you exposition dialogue that was basically teased since the beginning. Made me think of how all the seeds of what Ninja Theory eventually did with DmC were basically already there to warn us
Trip is easily the best thing about the game the way i see it. I guess it's worth a try if you find it cheap or straight up pirate it
>>343567983
Fake? No, not really. I'm absolutely fucking mad that some moron actually says that it's better than DMC3 and 4.
Absolutely fucking rage inducing. If that piece of shit said it to me in person I legitimately would fucking punch him in the face for his stupidity. I don't even care if it's nigger-tier behaviour, I still would punch him because he's walking proof that opinions can be objectively fucking wrong.
Now I'm off and you can sit in your circlejerk Tameem dicksucking thread.
>>343568218
you seem like a very unlikeable person.
i hope you find peace my friend
post trip booty
>>343568139
And Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon does everything Bayonetta does but better. Just admit the truth and move on.
>>343561605
Utter fucking trash
>>343566532
Wrong. The game glows to tell you where to go but you can still jump off and die in the wrong direction. It's happened to me a few times during times jumping segments or when robots are shooting at you while you climb.
>>343561605
Its alright.
Settings really cool, combat is fun but shallow, story kinda goes bonkers at the end.
The worst part about it is its "platforming"*(if you can even call it that). You can not fail at it, you just press in the direction and press A, you can not miss. But it does look cool seeing your character jump around, I just wish it was not so automated. But the strongest thing about it is the setting and the characters. Its not a shit game buts its not a 10/10 GOTY.
But for 5 bucks its worth it.
It's pretty bad. It's actually worse than DmC.
>>343569614
Go watch your shitty show you loser.
>>343568980
In the VERY late game there are segments that ask you to time your jumps; that is the extent of the challenge presented by the entire climbing mechanic
>>343568021
Anyone who seriously defends the Anima-Materia-Gyro-Blades bullshit is a fanboy faggot who has lost objectivity.
DMC had excellent combat. Everything else was absolute and utter bullshit designed to pad the game, and doing so extremely poorly.
The most GENEROUS thing I could say about it would be "the shit outside of fights in DMC is a worthless fucking tedious slog to make you look forward to fights more", but you and I both know that isn't true.
It wears its legacy as a RE-spinoff on its arm like a disfiguring 3rd-degree-burn scar.
>>343569614
>actually worse than DmC
Like that's hard to accomplish.
>>343561605
Eh, decent game, not too great overall.
Feels very linear, but the characters are engaging if not as fleshed out as they could be.
