why was GOW ragnarok vahalla the one game in the series that I held off playing until now? it's shaping up to be my favorite of the bunch

Post-2018 God of War is engaging with its predecessors in really interesting ways meta-wise – but from an IC perspective, imagine undergoing the child supersoldier shit Sparta was famous for and resolving your children won't grow up that way, only for your kid to be like But Father I Crave Violence.

always thought the splatoon promokids were p much that game's equivalent of vocaloids due to how the community made a ton of headcanons for a couple of blank slates

how to convince the class i railroads to start electrifying now that oil is expensive again

websites be like "your password is not secure enough" and then don't allow the scarab

Was getting frustrated with bullets breaking through my shield and hitting me and it turns out it's my fault for trying to use it like a parry instead of the R-Type bits they actually are.

Imagining each bullet holes in the survivorship bias plane was a bright red apple and then counting to 5 so all the bullet holes disappear

My father worked for American Airlines and the one refrain I keep hearing in my head is how he always said “Airlines can’t survive if oil is over $100 a barrel. And if they go, the whole economic web they’re connected to goes.”

I do feel like the SOR4 type of chaining in these beat em ups could be better if it was more akin to smth like blue revolver where that game's about building up a chain and then cashing it out with a special attack...

enemy slides are great for this game, forcing the player to be on the lookout while they're on the offensive but being in the middle of a throw while some1 is preparing a slide knowing you're probably gonna eat shit is a bit annoying when most brawlers make sure a throwing player is safe

stage 5 (which is the 4th stage in this demo cause stage 4 got skipped over) clear with an A rank (I don't play for score...)

got a 1cc on takeover 2's demo on maniac + max turbo

it's p good!

I do feel like the game could be better if the autocombo string had less hits in it + no wallbounce while giving the more commital moves (like 66P) wallbounce

I also think throws should have more iframes cause slides beat them

the weekly manga chapter release schedule has led to their fanbases becoming reactionary to a beyond obnoxious degree

What did i do

Takeover 2 demo is solid, the roll parry and game length are concerning but it seems like its got the core down. Nice to see enemies move offscreen in a game with side wall bounces & actively circle you

Melee Attacks in PVP Must Be Fast! There is a common misconception in PVP game design that melee attacks should be slow and reactable in order to make it fair for your opponents to play around them. The problem with this is that it fundamentally breaks the core game dynamic, resulting in a game where doing nothing is the best option. PVP games focused on Melee combat must have some way to either hurt the opponent that they can't react to, or a way to set up a situation where they cannot avoid getting hurt that they cannot react to.

imagine being the kind of villain who puts Vector the Fucking Crocodile on your eternal shit list for pointing out that "destroying the world" and "torturing everyone forever" are mutually exclusive goals this is the type of absolute loser we're dealing with here

I'm always surprised to see people say that Infinite throwing a tantrum after getting beat by Shadow was bad because in my eyes that's literally what made him an actual character instead of just a cool design & vibe & theme song

I'm glad that the sows arcadehead etc community has gravitated to be much more forward thinking and trans friendly than the olden days where it was more like irony-poisoned and a rhythm game flavored 4chan

Was PEAK really made in a month? Kinda but also NOT REALLY. Around four and a half months in total, but the core experience came together in 28 days.
