In terms of open world hack and slash, It sets the new standard as far as combat systems go. Yeah it really is excellent. Can't imagine going back to Witcher 3 combat after this and I feel even the new AC is gonna feel heavy and slow. The different stances and minimalistic type of combat is so good. Like you'll be fight 5 guys of different types (normal, spear and shield) and when you get more proficient in the system you'll be fluidly changing stances and doing deft dodges and 2 stroke kills and then parries to counter and so on. Where the fuck was any of that being shown prior to release. 1 hour ago, Twinblade said: Damn, you guys are making me want to play it. I might pick it up after I finish Origami King. Go in with the right expectations and you'll really enjoy it. It's a Sucker Punch game, not a ND or SSM so don't expect genre or generation defining game, just a game that has elements of everything you may have seen before but all executed really well in a gorgeous open world with Sony style cinematic approach to it's open world.

Ike★ 2,906 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Made it through 2 streamers so far in Paper Mario. Definitely seems like the battles are starting to get a little more open with different enemy types, summons, and elemental weapons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The boss battles have all been unique and varied. The run of the mill battles though are the worst part, but you can avoid them and after a while you start figuring out fast ways to win and get the enemies line up. Charming as hell though with the writing and story and each new world has been awesome. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like a no brainer for this type of game. Have you done shogun studios yet? Thats one of my favorite parts so far. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,899 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Picked up Bloodstained Cursed of the Moon 2. Started on veteran and was already having trouble with just the 2nd stage. I may have overestimated my skill level when it comes to old school 2D sidescrollers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JonDnD 2,614 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Just wanted to pop in to talk about Yakuza Kiwami real quick. This game owns! Im on the last chapter and about 20 hours into the game. I didnt think the story in this game would hold my interest but it has and its fun to play through. The game is super dated but still holds up quite well . Maybe ill write a review when i finish it. I should be done with it before Kiwami 2 launches on GamePass at the end of the month. That one seems to fix some of the annoyances that this one has. Like a Dragon is probably my most anticipated XSX game. Next Gen Only on Xbox TCHBR. See yall later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmaltese★ 2,555 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Just more Ghost. Taking my time. Really enjoying it. By far Sucker Punch's best work so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m on act 2 and I think it might end up being my goty. TLOU2 is my current fav but Ghost may beat it if it continues impressing the way it has. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
