I have no idea what to write for a subject so this is a recommendations thread I guess. Ask for stuff, recommend stuff, post links if you like. Let's talk some vidya
I'm looking for an actiony hack and slasher where I can just fuck people up with medival weaponry, fighting intense duels and wars, slaying monsters and demons, exploring catacombs and unraveling mysteries and solving puzzles and shit. Swords, maces, spears, halberds, whatever. I just don't want some half empty open world or an eternity of text or boredom anywhere near the intro.
I'm looking for a decent action hack n slasher. I've played DMC, MGRR and other platinum vidya, nearly every CV game(sans the lords of shadow games, how are they?) Rune, Serverance, Arx Fatalis and Dark Messiah, the Ys games(anything like Origin or Felghana is what I would really want) and the souls catalog, and I've played a bit of DW5 and Samurai Warriors Xtreme Legends and that's about my involvement with musou games. I like them but it feels like it doesn't offer the same type of fluid combos and movement as say DMC, and when you're fighting other officers I feel like I want to be done. An user has recently recommended a PS2 shinobi game and the ninja gaiden xbox games, I'm playing through the shinobi game and it's A+, the NG ones I'm still waiting on an Xboxhueg emulator for it. 2D, 3D, sci fi, gothic, super edge, a comedy, supernatural or realistic, I don't care as long as it's not a non linear open world.
While I'm on the subject how come swords are so wide spread in vidya, except you don't get to use them often in cool ways? Where are the sword combos, where's the half swording, where's the parrying and dismemberment? And where are all the spears and how come like one game decided to have a spearman playable character AND have his movement ability be a cool as fuck pole vault?

There's an alright PS2 game called Blood Will Tell. You may like it.
It's also got around 24 bosses in the entire game,
Have you played the other Falcom ARPGs? They aren't exactly like Origin or Oath but you can feel it's from the same company and they are pretty good. Zwei II should be released this summer.
play otogi 1 and 2, ninja gaiden black, nioh, and look forward to sakuna.
they cost $25, stop being poor.
At the moment I've only played Xanadu Next and Gurumin. I've heard of Zwei 2 and I'll probably play the first soon
Heard of Sakuna, am looking forward to it actually.
I'm trying damnit
I'll look it up, thank you.
Since Dark Souls is already mentioned, fucking Mountain Blade.
I recommend playing the Prophesy of Pendor mode.
the combat in mount & blade is really barebones and floaty.
It's some of the most realistic in video games though, how the fuck is it floaty?
Let's not mention the couched lance.
By the way, the game emulates well, so you don't need to buy it.
nah
easy to chain together attacks, barely any sense of dedication to a swing, stamina would greatly benefit in this case as it would give you a resource to track in combat instead of just mindlessly swinging and stabbing your way through crowds.
press nothing and you do more damage by running into things, not really selling me on the richness of the game play there.
