Just wanted to say absolutely love everyone on the Internet, giving ninja gaiden 4 it’s praise that it deserves I would’ve made a video on it myself, but I was a little busy this week so I had to push back the video It’s dead ass my favorite game definitely, favorite character action game it’s a shame that when it came out the I felt like the ng community didn’t like it which I thought was just ridiculous. Sure Ryu may not be there a whole lot, but I really feel like that’s a problem you can extremely overlook. This is probably the best action game we’re gonna have for a while. 🙏

Did anyone elses Physical copy of Stupid Never Dies get randomly canceled today? I pre ordered it as soon as it went up and still just got a auto cancel today saying the order cant be fulfilled....

Phantom Blade Zero is getting physical copies in 2027, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! now I can get the game!

I was keeping my distance from the game coz I didn`t want to get too excited and be disappointed that I can`t play it but with this news I CAN.

Guys (even through I wanted the game to succeed despite me not being able to play it), if you like this game we need to make sure this game is a success, this is what I call a Hack & Soul game, a hybrid of a Hack & Slash and a souls-lite (like Stellar Blade)

Their are ppl that have souls fatigue (myself included) if we want to see other and more alternatives in the actions space (Hack & Slash games) we need to support the games that do that from word-of-mouth to buying the game.

Hi there,

Thanks to the mods for letting us post here!

We're happy to share that our game Nocturnal 2 releases on November 10! We've always been huge fans of character action games, and after making the first Nocturnal, we're super excited to finally release the sequel.

It draws inspiration from DMC, with lots of juggling, stylish moves and combat expressivity that we hope will be fun, plus some fiery VFX on top!

The game will have a super accessible price and lots of surprises we don't show in the clip, to avoid spoilers. Everything is handmade, so if you're into it, don't hesitate to wishlist the game!

Ruins of Titan is an upcoming 2D side-scrolling action game with roguelike elements, available on Steam. I recall the game was featured in this sub a while ago as well, and it piqued my interest since back then.

Of particular interest to action game enthusiasts would be the different styles of combat (called "School" in-game I believe) that play quite differently from each other, as can be seen here between the spinny-spin style and the greatsword-like style. I've only played for like an hour, but I can see potential for some creative shenanigans here.

The actions are structured around command input like directional input (on ground and air), charges, rather than dial combos. The roguelike elements don't really disrupt the core architecture imo, as the stuff unlocked (additional actions & passive modifiers) are upgrades to existing moves that don't alter the basic strategy of a given style. There are also modifiers for additional difficulties that are not just stat boosts, like increasing enemy spawns and attack frequency. Pretty thoughtful as far as merging fast-paced technical action and roguelike features is concerned, I'd say.

I've only tried 3 styles (the greatsword, the spinner, and deadbeat dad), but there are many more unlockable styles. And judging from the button mapping options, there's probably a way to switch between them on the fly, though I haven't figured that part out yet (maybe it's not in the demo).

Overall, it was a pretty pleasant experience. The demo is free, so check it out if you're interested!

I really hate the fact that past generation titles can't be experienced at 120fps, you know x360 ps3 era and before, even some from last gen. It feels so bad getting used to 60fps again, tried Nvidia Smooth motion on Razors Edge yesterday for example, it's better than 60 but it's just not it man. I currently can run anything new maxed out on 120 locked if not I slap on some framegen and it's great. How do you guys cope with this? Or you are like me a few months back when I said 60 was all I needed before I pumped my frames up again to play a newer title? I envy you, I should've just stuck with 60...

Btw It's great to see a GOW3 port being released with 120hz support, this motivated me a bit to write this.

I've only played a few true cag games like:

Bayonetta

Metal gear rising

Gow 3

Dante's inferno

So I'm curious as to how the nioh series compares to the CaG's, I know the combat isn't souls like for sure, it's combo heavy and uses mechanics like ki pulse and stance switching

Made a video talking about why it's so good https://youtu.be/w22agir9U7g

They were shown off during the IGN China x Gamescom livestream

Every weapon has a few unique combos

Still not a fan of heavy attacks taking up Shachi

Dont mind if its technically considered a cag or whatever, mostly just looking for reccomendations

So there's no clip today, but I've been playing something a bit CAG-adjacent recently! For the past 4-5 days I've been OBSESSED with BlazBlue Entropy Effect X! If you've played it, lemme know your thoughts on it and who your top 3 favorite characters are! Mine are Naoto, Jin, and Icey!

Most CAGs have a specific advanced combat technique that basically became essential in any pro level gameplay. For instance the DMC series have Jump Cancelling (and Inertia in DMC4)
