Streets of Rage 4.

If you got the extra cash and looking for a video game nostalgia trip, this is it.

The Trials of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 3 originally, never came to the west) remake is infinitely better than the Secret of Mana remake. They did way better in every single aspect, from the translation to the graphics/sound and especially the gameplay. And they fixed the biggest problem of all from SoM....they actually made it challenging. SoM remake is one of the easiest games I have ever played....this one was easy at first then suddenly it shifted and dodges/timing/pattern recognition became super important. The only thing that isn't tuned well is a spell called ancient curse. Its far too overpowered although it has a ridiculous cast time/mana cost. But if you manage to target it properly and fire it off before getting interrupted it will annihilate every enemy in a regular mob in one move. I actually ignored 2 of my party members and just spammed it with my 3rd and killed the last boss of the campaign in like 45 seconds after it handed my ass to me multiple times in a row trying to fight it straight up.

This new content seems like it might be pretty damn hard tho tbh. The first/easiest mobs at the beginning of the new super dungeon can wipe your whole party in seconds if you get complacent. Gonna try and grind it out tomorrow and see how far I can get but I already know its gonna be a blast. This is a great ARPG to scratch that old nostalgia itch.






Can we get on for a Secret of Evermore remake tho? That game is so god damn fun.

drave 05-03-2020 09:42 AM

Still playing FO76.


Started a new character a few weeks ago, hit level 24 last night. I could have started Wastelanders content but wanted to finish up the OG Story first.


This game still has its quirks, but fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck they've improved it drastically. Never hit any of the major bugs that made gaming headlines, just a few UI glitches that I can count on one hand.

Streets of Rage 4.

Feels a bit too grindy for unlocking the good stuff and enemies can be a bit cheap at times but I've been having a very enjoyable time with the game so far.

GD 05-03-2020 11:29 PM

Still playing Bare Knuckle 3 (Streets of Rage 3). The Yamato boss fight was fucking awesome.

Yeah.

No way am I going to unlock Shiva, God of Death anytime soon. :'(

Playing Death Stranding, or as it's better know, FedEx Simulator

I bought a Nintendo Switch Lite. Bought Witcher 3, Rayman Legends, Mario Odyesse, Astral Chain and Mega Man 11.

Thanks Donald!

>Witcher 3

Why. I mean, if you don't have an xbox or playstation or a gaming pc, I can kinda get it, but Witcher is better suited to the big screen.
To answer the question, Im playing Dusk, Divinity Original Sin and Zelda breath of the wild right now.

RP 05-06-2020 09:13 PM

I think it looks great.

DAMN iNATOR 05-07-2020 05:52 PM

2 out of my 3 Switch games are ones I have owned on several other consoles. Skyrim and L.A. Noire because they're classics that I enjoy being able to take with me on the road. That's not to say that SSB Ultimate isn't a blast too, though.

And at the end of the month (May 29th), I've got the Borderlands Legendary Collection pre-ordered for delivery to my house, and it has all the games in the series, not counting Tales or BL3, plus every bit of add-on content for BL, BL2 and Pre-Sequel. Nobody can argue that's not worth dropping (USD)$60 on.

Streets of Rage 4 goes hard, for sure.


Unlocked another character yesterday, shit was fire. Ended up beating 2 stages without dying.

RP 05-08-2020 07:52 AM

I love this Switch Lite. I just wish I could have gotten it in Gray. Only choices was Titty Pink and Teal.

Danny Electric 05-08-2020 03:56 PM

Alternating between Streets of Rage 4 and Kingdom Hearts 1.5.

Streets of rage 4 on muh switch

Sepholio 05-09-2020 06:27 PM

Ori and the will of the wisps. The ori games might be the best metroidvania games ever made.

I'm also playing Streets of Rage 4 now. I don't think I like it much though tbh. Doesn't seem as fun as I remember beat em ups being. Think the fact that the controls and gameplay still feel like they came from the 90's is throwing me off. They could have made this way more fluid imo. That and so many of the levels are waaaaay too short. As it is, it's a 90's game with a fresh coat of paint.

drave 05-11-2020 08:57 PM

Much more enjoyable with more people. Ran through the game with Fignuts a few days ago and it made for some good times, big combos and insane juggling.

DAMN iNATOR 05-11-2020 10:06 PM

Recently finished Detroit: Become Human. I like the overall theme of being open-minded and accepting of everyone. Some of the plot points didn't feel realistic, such as the part at the US/Canada border checkpoint. Pretty good overall though.

RP 05-12-2020 09:53 AM

Do you guys play on the Switch? Friend me. Sandersplex

No homo.

DAMN iNATOR 05-13-2020 04:35 AM

I've also recently gotten back into ESO and finally hit level 50/"Champion 10". Honestly forgot how addicting it can be.

RP 05-13-2020 05:30 PM

What games are you playing on Switch DAMN iNATOR?

Turns out I just was bored with the character I kept choosing. Doing the whole run through with each character for the achievement while banking score for the unlocks. I had played through as Axel already and was playing through as Blaze when I made my post. Turns out I had a lot more fun as Cherry who I just finished the campaign with and now I'm on to Floyd and he is also a blast, but not nearly as fun/versatile as Cherry was as of yet. Cherry just has ridiculous juggles that are very fun.

Sepholio 05-14-2020 12:10 AM

I know I can unlock SoR3 Shiva but I was really hoping for the 4 version. Shiva is the tits. Either way, I heard he's basically the games God mode. I'm just short of unlocking the first SoR3 character so I'm like 2/3rds the way to 3 Shiva in the grand scheme of things.

drave 05-14-2020 07:27 AM

Cherry is ridiculous once you learn how to move around with her.


Floyd is just as crazy. If you hit toward toward attack, he has this big ass double punch that just knocks the fook outta enemies. 3 of those will break the riot cop shield from a distance where they cannot touch you.

RP 05-14-2020 03:40 PM

Just started and played Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA for 7 hours today. I'm hooked to that game now. Probably gonna play 7 more hours later. Only on Chapter 2. Love the fighting system. Love the storyline so far. It kind of reminds me of Lost. I bought it off the Eshop for $29.99 but if it continues to be this good, I'll have to open the wallet for the physical copy.

Sepholio 05-14-2020 07:53 PM

I loved Y's VIII. Love that whole series in general.

ClockShot 05-15-2020 12:27 PM

Dipped my toe into the RDR2 online pool.

Didn't do much. Just grabbed my free stuff and did a couple stranger missions.

Looks like a lot of fun. Probably safer than GTA 5 since that's literally a war zone right now with the Green vs. Purple gang war going on.

Sepholio 05-15-2020 02:31 PM

Games Pass must have read my mind and realized I was itching for some RPG because they put up FF9 remaster for me. Good timing too because I just finished with all the unlocks on SoR4 and will now just be achievement hunting as a goal.

i'm only on chapter 3. So a lot to go. But i love it. Great story telling. Characters are great. I expect boss fighting will pick up. But so far i'm really into it. I love to do little shit like stop and fish lol.

I'm no big on turn-base RPG's, but I really wanna buy Fire Emblem 3 Houses. I think thats turn base, but it looks fantastic.

I like traditional turn based RPGs but I'm not big into the strategy/RPG hybrid games like Fire Emblem. I don't like the whole grid based movement system and having tons of characters/enemies in a battle. Games like that feel too slow to me. I used to play some of them back in the day but when I tried my first Disgaea game it completely killed my desire to ever play another strategy/RPG.

Sepholio 05-15-2020 04:57 PM

Also Y's VIII had me hooked on everything in the game. I ended up doing literally everything in that game and still wanted more. Went back and played a couple of the entries that I had originally missed afterwards. Such a fun series. Doesn't get enough love.
