Half Life is celebrating it's 20th anniversary with a massive sale on Steam, check it out if you've never played, and then join the rest of us in wondering where the hell is Half Life 3
Here I was thinking that DOA2 was the game with the highest amount of dead launchers (ie launchers with too much recovery that make it impossible to follow up) but then I remembered that tag mode exists, where you can effectively cancel a move's bad recovery with a well timed tag in, opening the door for all kinds of interactions, my mind is blown
watching early 2000's EVO top 8's is such a trip, no commentary, no player cam, no crowd noise, just top players knocking the mess out each other for glory and nothing else, since payouts weren't even a thing until 2006 lol
PGR x Devl May Cry? sounds like a match made in heaven, since PGR's combat has been likened to DmC ever since its inception and the official DmC mobile game is actually terrible, so it's time for the true DmC mobile experience! or you could just play proper DmC... either way I'm excited
I always forget that Jann Lee and Leon have a special interaction in DOA3, but then again DOA3 was the king of unexpected characters interactions, and it was awesome
"Sparking Zero is a real fighting game and the FGC are a bunch of closed minded gate keeping boomers who can't accept that" have fun hearing this sentiment for the next couple of weeks :/
According to a recent law in California, Steam has to be explicit about the fact that you don't actually own Steam games, you're just temporarily accessing them on a server
I always thought this was common knowledge and the main reason why digital game ownership is iffy, though I don't think this'll impact Steam too much, but we'll see
gonna be gaming like it's 2005 in the year 2025 with all these remasters and remakes coming out :/ Capcom Fighting Collection 2, Legacy of Kain, Lunar, Tomb Raider, Suikoden, shit's crazy
Fun Fact: in DOA2 Gen Fu has a restand setup that works on every character in the game, except for Gen Fu himself, thanks to his uniquely short and squished up hurtbox the old man's setup ends up whiffing on himself lol
bought Onechanbara Origins during Steam sale thinking it was just gonna be some cheesecake fanservice anime fun, friggin first boss in the game was actually beating my ass and had me quitting to main menu, humbled me real quick lol
really wish Lollipop Chainsaw got remade instead of remastered, the game still looks and sounds great but the combat and minigames are just as frustrating as they were 10 years ago :/
so, we've gone from the "guys! Venus is being used to fund the next mainline DOA game!" copium to "guys! Prism is a playtest for the new engine that'll certainly be used for the next mainline DOA game!" copium
I mean it MIGHT be true, but still can't help but roll my eyes at the whole situation :/
