>Lastly, the combat is not very good. Your amalgamation can swarm combatants by pressing X repeatedly, leaving them open to attack after a few moments. Yet your moves are limited. You can wail away with your preferred object with the A button. And as you level up, you’ll get access to new abilities like Wonderful Stinger and Wonderful Rising. These requrie careful left stick inputs to perform. But there’s no way to lock onto foes! That means if you do manage to pull off a fancy skill, you might go careening in the opposite direction of a fight.>What I found most disappointing was how unfair the battles are in The Wonderful 101: Remastered. The “tells” to dodge or parry, done expertly in Bayonetta 2, are hard to notice when you’re surrounded by numerous opponents. It feels like you have to activate defensive mechanics a bit early in order for them to work. There’s no Witch Time equivalent, either. Having the action slow down would do wonders after an impressive sidestep, but that’s only reserved for drawing, for some odd reason.

>>507911719>>507912507>more proof reviewers don't actually play games

>>507911719Wonderful 101 is a design failure on several aspects.

>>507911719I can't really blame anyone for bouncing right off W101. It's arguably even less new-player friendly than God Hand, and reviewers are notorious for not spending a lot of time with the games they review. W101 has a fucking horrible first few hours even if you go into it mentally primed to like it. The controls take a long while to get adjusted to, and it takes even longer than it ought to in a vacuum since the core combat is probably only about a third of the playtime if you aren't skipping cutscenes. And that's not even mentioning the time spent coming to grips with what's expected of you in the fucking minigame sections.I think most people who stick with the game long enough to see the credits are really going to warm up to it, but I don't think it's unreasonable to not want to suffer through the first 4 or so hours to get to it. I'm just bummed that shitty reviews are inevitably going to hurt the sales of an already niche game. It's one of those games I think everyone should try just to see if they like it, but if reviewers are going to blanket the fucking thing with bad scores than they won't even give it the time of day. I guess the best we can do is signal boost the game God Hand style and hope that people give the game a try despite the red flags purely from word of mouth.

>>507911719Going in completely blind anyway.

>>507912507>>507912991To be fair the game is pretty unintuitive and unless you really get into the game and dive into its mechanics, it can seem pretty shallow. The game just doesnt do a good job of communicsting the depths of its gameplay to newcomeds. You basically have to beat the game at least once to learn the basics.

>>507913518Stay off 4chan until you finish it. The plot is a really fun rollercoaster ride and you owe it to yourself to not have it spoiled.

>>507913627That doesn't excuse them literally lying about mechanics in their review though.They should do at least a little research, it is their job after all.

I honestly don't remember having a hard time at all understanding the mechanics of W101 when I first played it on Wii U. I found everything came super naturally and a lot of it is common sense.Fortnite is a game that is a massive cluster fucker for first timers. How does nobody complain about that?

>>507913627Not putting the new tutorials in Normal mode was a huge fucking mistake. Nobody who likes action games is going to start with Easy mode, but this game is so novel and weird that even guys that are quick on the uptake are going to need some help.They should've also shown newcomers some footage of what high level play looks like so they have something to emulate/aspire to. Maybe contextualize it as P-Star showing Wonder-Red footage of the other Wonderful Ones in action when they're first recruited. I bet a lot of people who beat it and tossed it aside didn't even know you could juggle enemies.

>>507914440>Literally stating multiple factually false claims is an "opinion"stop being retarded user

People are going to see that reviews for this are all over the place, with GameSpot's utterly shit review, and IGN's glowing 9/10 review, and hopefully makes them wonder "What is up with this".Though I guess I'm being stupidly optimistic.

>>507914880>opinion>a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.Yes. Sometimes, opinions can be wrong. Just deal with it. I never understood why you lot are so fixated on what other people think.

>>507912991They literally admit that they never finish games, why do you think Dark Souls only got 3 GOTY awards when it came out whereas Skyward Sword got over 30?

>>507915098Probably because Skyward Sword is better than Dark Shit

>>507914881I think Joe Normie is more interested in playing universally critically acclaimed games than take a risk on a purchase. That’s why AAA titles are such bland soulless design-by-committee paint by numbers derivative garbage. Taking a risk by supporting the new means alienating potential customers, after all.

>>507912507>There’s no Witch Time equivalent, either. That's a straight up fucking LIE.

>>507911719Game journalists used to have taste, there used to be 150 different publications for every AAA game. So it was way harder to get high scores, only the revolutionary games were rewarded with a 97 like this game.

>>507916342Lock on works with team attacks. Once you get a Wonderful One to latch on an enemy, you're locked on to them and will automatically snap to them if you try to attack.

>>507916470Thank you. I think that was how it was working but I wasn't sure.

>>507911719so does it actually play well without a second screen?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Gamespot>The same guys who gave the Wii U version of Tropial Freeze a 6

>>507917764You don’t get the option to buy it until around 005. You don’t seriously expect a reviewer to play halfway through a game, do you? Don’t be so entitled.

>>507918250What's messed up is they gave the original version an 8. Different reviewer I know, but it really reflects badly on them.

>>507912507>He didn't get Guts and SpringEvery timeEVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME

>>507918263reviewers can actually ask for certain save points

>>507917872It’s also the most restrictive on a fresh save. It fucking sucks at the start in the remaster since you can’t even play with Multi-Unite Morphs while waiting for Unite Gun’s stinger to unlock.

Imagine being such an Npc that your opinion of a game is a review written by some dumbass who was so brainlet that he couldn’t land an actual job in actual periodism and now is a wagecuck writting for a “gamer” site that clickbaits people with buzzfeed bots, and the idiot didn’t play the game either.Seriously if you judge a game from what a journalfag “played” of it you deserve to get your thumbs cut offThe bare minimum required to consider buying a game should be watching a Lp, but not the screaming soijak’s ones, a mute one, no comentary, only gaming, those are based

What even is the point of IGN “reviews” these days. Back then they were the only ones reviewing newer games so it made sense, but these days you can find YouTube channels dedicated to this shit.

W101 was always a divisive game, the remaster wasn't going to change that.You either play enough to realize the mechanics are key or you get tired too early

>>507918702It's a Gamespot review actually, just saying

>>507918628They can’t, they are literally too dumb to write about other subject

>>507918702That's Gamespot in the OP.IGN actually gave the game a glowing 9 out of 10. Bizarre I know.

the comments about the camera and drawing do make sense though. The game was designed for the wii u and the ports suffer for it

>>507918702IGN review was actually 8

>>507918859Tbf gaming journalism rarely requires people that had played games, they only care about traffic for ads money, the dude could have written 8 paragraphs of the word cock and they would have still published the review, as long as there are idiots clicking links they don’t care if the review is written by a fucking chimpanzee

>>507918520Are we pretending that they would legitimately fill this thing out? Don't be stupid Holla Forums or at least that stupid. W101 was mediocre on release and still is just like most of plat games

>>507919783switch is awkward to hold due to no ergonomics on the joycons and it being heavier. Also nothing in the game requires much precision so the type of touchscreen is irrelevant really

>>507931228And Nero and Dante still have way more going on than Kratos does in GoW.

>>507930718Sure, because after MGSV they released like one MG game, lmao.

>>507931452Good for you. I disagree. I prefered playing god of war over nero missions any day of the week.

>>507931367>someone who took the time to learn the mechanics has a better time with the game than someone who did not give a shitFor once IGN was based. I remember IGN Italy giving it a 9/10 also when the game launched on the Wii U.

>>507911719They were right

>>507930171It was a stretch goal on the kickstarter that was met within the first hour and I'm pretty sure all promotional material that follows and listed platforms mentioned PC. People just naturally assume Switch because it was a Wii U game and the Switch is a port machine

>>507930019>3-4 score points too highOut of 10, sure.

>>507931627Well then you just have shit taste and are easily drawn in by style over substance. To each his own.

I remember dying a lot, but having a great time regardless, and wanting to figure out how to manage the wealth of combat options at my disposal. I think by 002 I realised the game was much, much better than I initially thought it was going to be.If nothing else this re-release has shown that reviewers just don't get on well with games that demand investment on behalf of the player, and faith that they're in good hands.

>>507914414Huh?

Man that gamespot review is just insane. Reviewer literally says objective lies and neglects to mention non gameplay factors that make the game fun, like variety of scenarios, music, writing, voice acting (especially wonder red who is just PERFECTLY acted) and the sense of scaleAll of these points need to be brought up and it's crazy to me that they aren't.

>>507932190Defend against what? Your opinion? That's not how it works. The only difference between is that I don't insult you just because your opinion is different than mine. The only statement taht would resemble anything close to an argument would be this>style over substanceWhich I find frankly ridiculous to say when you compare literally anything to dmc because it would entail that any other game would trump dmc in style which is by far one of it's strongest points. I don't see where you are coming from, I find your behaviour abhorrent and I don't plan on trying to change your opinion by insulting you like you did.

>>507935593Gamespot.IGN actually gave it a 9.

>>507911719I loved it on the Wii U and while I find exclusives good for each platform I'm glad other folks get to play this gem. Nobody could have thought game "journalists" would be able to give this a fair score. I love games like DMC, Bayo, W101, but I'm just not good enough to get SSS ranks across the board especially on harder difficulties. I don't mind though as I still have fun doing what I'm capable of and I tend to still be able to do ok enough to unlock some of the higher difficulty things. These people were never going to be good at the game nor even try to learn. Stringing multiple weapons becomes really easy after you actually get used to it which you're probably not going to do until like mid to late game which is around when you get your last weapon types. Hell you can get by just spamming the two simplest weapons in the game, a fucking line and a fucking circle, one after the other, for combos. I hope nobody passes up the game because of these shitheads who can't grasp the mechanics of any game other than push forward and watch a cutscene of a golfing tranny. Fuck them.

>>507934958Yeah, my point is it's the very first thing that comes up if you google Bayonetta 2 and Polygon. There you Cntr+F and type 'object' and you get the very quote.

I'm going to give the W101 to one of my best friends, but I'm afraid that he'll just quit out of how overwhelming the game can be. Does Easy Mode in Remastered remedy this outside of just being easier? Does it have more tutorials and the like?

>>507938590>Hey there pal, you sure you don't want these two abilities?>Oh doing a no shop items run? Go gettem champ! We believe in you!

>>507939035>Filtered so hard he didn't even get the gameDamn.

>>507940551How about giving me those abilities at the very start if there are so "mandatory"

>>507938418shouldnt Nier Automata and MGR have gotten 4/10s then?

>>507939928>Does Easy Mode in Remastered remedy this outside of just being easier? Does it have more tutorials and the like?I've heard it does, but I really doubt anyone in this thread could tell you for sure what Easy Mode includes.

>>507940747They're not mandatory, you can just never get hit.

>>507939546>An 8 and a 4 are the same scoreI guess math isn't your thing

>>507911719This is what people mean when they say the Nintendo Bonus. Now that the game is no longer a Wii U exclusive the review scores will be far worse. I'm not saying that most exclusives don't have this effect applied to them - they do - but nowhere near the effect that Nintendo games do. For e.g. if Breath of the Wild didn't have the Zelda name and was a 3rd party release it would nowhere near the 97 it got. It's a fantastic game though.

Quick question, how long is the game? Is it single player? I might get it when it's on sale

>>507940747because you should learn how to interact with the shop while you're at it. A lot of idiots bitch that they can't do the cool combo moves in DMC and Bayonetta, and every time it's because the mouth-breathers haven't checked the store for moves. So here you go. Moves. In the store. Try buying it now.

>>507941518Are you sure? >>507927186

>>507941518I'm waiting for Genshin Impact just to see people shit on it because 'muh, zelda botW clone' and 'muh, anime game' to proof this. I tried the closed beta and game was dope

>>507941536The game is about 20 hours long, but clearing it unlocks NG+ and harder modes that revamp the entire game with new enemy placements and so on. It's very much an arcade-y type of action game that focuses on level mastery through replayability.There's a local multiplayer mode but it's nothing to write home about. The meat of the game is in the single player campaign. Think Metroid Prime 2 's multiplayer as opposed to its single player content.

>>507941518If this was true than more review sites would have slammed W101 remastered, everyone else seem to really like the game now with its improvements.

>>507941697to be fair Genshin Impact is phone game with timers, microtransactions and made by a communist state, I wouldnt put my money on that game getting good scores at all.

>>507940747You never play a game where the tutorial forces you to go check out all the menus? It's basically the shop tutorial>HEY YOU CAN BUY MOVES IN THE SHOP YOU SHOULD GET THESE ONES FIRST THEY'RE USEFUL>CHECK OUT THE OTHER SHIT AFTER THE NEXT STAGE

>>507941697>to proof thisNice job ESL chink shill.

>>507941823I see, good to know. It's one of those game worth picking up down the line I guess then, same as DMC5 and other productions where prices dropped really fast in a few months.

>>507941697>Chinkshitlmao no

>>507941921I was talking about the one that's supposed to come out on consoles and pc too I think. I dunno much about it, but I think it was single player? I.e. genshin impact on the phone was ok, but it was on the phone and it is gacha shit, so...

>>507942113The game's already 40 dollars and I'd say that's more than a fair price for its content but yeah, it''s likely going to go on sale sooner rather than later because sadly it's gearing up to flop a second time.

>>507941697When does it release? I didn't get picked for either beta...I really wanted to play Beidou, Mihoyo really has a way with making greatsword characters I like and that everyone else hates cause they're slow and have shitty damage

>>507911719I can't help but think that Bayonetta reviewers all play on easy based on the praise they give those games.

>>507938590It's fine hereIt was retarded in doom eternal, the game absolutely requires air control so I don't know why they didn't just make it innate.

>>507950213It reminds me of the reviewers who got mad at Astral Chain since it doesnt give grades on the easiest difficulty, outing them as only have playing the game on easy mode.

>>507952752

>>507911719100% accurate review, though. Was exactly my experience with the game, and I liked Bayonetta a lot and love Kamiya for Okami and Viewitufl Joe.I don't know what it is with some action games causing this weird autism in their fans and makes them fail to understand that other people can't don't love the highs quite as much as they do and therefore can't gloss over all the flaws, and you are retarded if you don't admit there are flaws with W101 or God Hand.The only thing that makes no sense is why they rate other reptitive action games like Bayo and especially DMC so high in comparison.

They have a deep instilled hate for this franchise incited by having to PRETEND that they like the games and give them high scores all the time because they know exactly that they can expect a shitstorm of autists calling them "casual" if they don't. Just remember Famitsu giving Demon's Souls 20/40 and then suddenly fucking Dark Souls 2 perfect scores.>>507915231It unironically is, and I hate SS.

>>507954928>it gets good after you beat it!lmao

>>507938643If you add too many moves right away your average person will get overloaded with options and will just not learn any of them properly. When you give abilities gradually, preferrably at points where the old tricks are getting bread'n'butter, the reaction to a new trick you can do will change from a chore on a list to a one of curiosity, "Oh I wanna try pulling that off!" Then, once that solidifies you throw in the next trick.This is usually done in linear fashion in games with upgrades being given in order over the arc of the game.A store/exp/other point systems, in theory, lets you make the progress non-linear, the pacing of the abilities coming from the time it takes to gather the points for the new skill instead of reaching hard-set story points. It also allows more player control and possibility of different kind of approaches with multiple solutions in level design, where as in linear you usually plan all the levels with just the one new trick in mind.It's also harder to ignore the knowledge of getting a new ability when you first have to "work" for it, then browse, pick and choose it with conscious thought at the store and then lose the "money" you worked hard for, that stuff sinks in far better than a tutorial prompt that Arin will just skip.So my guess is that there was already enough base-abilities and controls to juggle at the start, and they were more crucial, so they just had to drop guts and spring into the progress system even if they are important. And even in the store they couldn't be freebies since then the player just picks them up at the same time with something else and then their eyes glance them over and they might not ever explore using them after they forget all about even getting them.

>>507955070Do you seriously stop playing any hack and slash after one playthrough?

I dont give a shit about w101 but>camera issuesVirtually no game has camera issues. Everytime someone complains about camera its a retard who doesnt use camera control, cant make other goos arguments, has no spatial awareness/object permanance, and likely is a liberal boomer who is overly attached to 2D games and still hates games for going 3D.Mayje in some broken ass jank the camera has issues but 99 out of 100 times people complain about camera there is no problen at all. If you bitch about camera in virtually any game you communicate that you're a retard

When exactly is this getting fun, rewarding or in any way stimulating? I'm in that tower for one hour now. The level design is OBJECTIVELY horrible, rancid shit. That's an objective fact. The camera is clunky, you often can barely move it and it's just too close to the wall or inside the enemy, and the worst thing is that for some reason your dodge rolls are linked to the camera angle without set tilt inputs (as you have them in MH, i.e. your characte always rolls left when you tilt to left, no matter the angle). The whole moveset and controls are objectively horrid. Why would you even waste two fucking shoulder buttons on switching weapons? And why are important moves locked behind styles you have to choose at the start of a mission? You literally have only one attack button without a certain style but you have no counter ability, fast dodging and other fun stuff when using it. What exactly am I supposed to emerge fun from here? Tell me, please. And where is the crazy? Do I unlock it when I get all the moves in eight hours (so after finishing the game)?I feel like all these games are overrated autism shit.

>>507915029Here is my review of Super Mario Bros.>You can only take one hit and the game could use something like a warp zone for players who wants to explore or get to later levels faster.>Mario is also quite slow. Why cannot Mario run? Also coins don't seem to do anything>The game could use power-ups>3/10What? I lied on my review? It is just my opinion!

>>507960569And what was wrong there?

>>507961456Playing on novice controls and whining about too much story and not knowing about the mission objectives.

>>507961797Man, this guy is a shitter.

Can someone tell me how the load times are on the switch? The long ass loads are the main reason I stopped trying to platinum the game.

>>507962113Why did you upload a weird bird? What is this from?

I was 101% sure this game was shilled by some sunken cost wiiu anons. Turns out the game is great. WTF

>>507912507>The “tells” to dodge or parry, done expertly in Bayonetta 2, are hard to notice when you’re surrounded by numerous opponents. It feels like you have to activate defensive mechanics a bit early in order for them to work. There’s no Witch Time equivalent, either. Having the action slow down would do wonders after an impressive sidestep, but that’s only reserved for drawing, for some odd reason.I knew it. I always said, all plebs want from action games is to button mash until the enemy flashes red, then press the dodge button for an epic slow mo dodge so they can get back to button mashing. This is the pinnacle of action gameplay for your average normie.Where did it all go so wrong?

>>507962490As a sunken cost Wii U user I wasn't kidding. I really wanted it to get a modern console port just so other people could finally play it, and I'm glad so many people are able to see its greatness. All we need is a Xenoblade X rerelease, maybe Super Mario 3D World, and my Wii U can finally rest.

>>507917169>>507927186Looks like someone wants a job at nintendo hm?

>>507963494Yeah, reviewing a remaster that cut all Nintendo trademarks from the game. Sure.

>>507912507>wail away The dude can't even figure out correct English. Journalist, indeed.

>>507941697isn't that a gacha game

>>507912507How can a journalist be this retarded?

Yeah the combat's not fun. It's just typical Platinum game shit with a ranking code of paint. The camera is also too zoomed out and I can't make out what my character or the enemies are doing. I got memed into believing that this game is supposed to have the best camera in any action game.

>>507955070Holy shit this, I rather play a game that starts good and only gets better like DMC3Not something that starts out shit/mediocre and may turn out good at the end of a playthrough

I remember I genuinely hated it and didn'T enjoy a minute of it after the first 20 where it still felt fresh and exciting. Everything is so tiny and you get attacked from all angles with that shitty camera and gimmicks, plus repetitive as fuck. Terrible.

Some qte are atrocious. I hope a mod can revove them

>>507966478which ones? just finished the game and had zero issues

>>507966559all button-mashing one

I owned TW101 on Wii U and while the combat was fun, everything else about the game was terrible. The god awful story and qtes interrupt you every 5 minutes.

>>507966994QTEs are shit, but I thought Wonderful 101 is one of the better Platinum stories.

>>507912507>These requrie careful left stick inputs to perform.OH NO NO A GAME CAN'T REQUIRE SKILL TO PLAY, IT'S LITERALLY WORSE THAN HITLER

>>507962113Near instantaneous from what I played of the demo

>>507964929You only need to track your leader since they're the only one that takes real damage. Once you get used to thinking of the group as a single character you control, the camera is by far the best action game camera out there. You can see several enemies on all sides at once and never have trouble positioning yourself exactly where you want relative to them. It just takes some practice.

>>507915231classic Holla Forums

>>507912991LOOK AT THE COPEPFHAHAHHAHAHAThe game ALWAYS sucked

after playing the remaster, i think i can say i like this game more than dmc, or any other action game

>>507915098Because dark souls is a niche game and zelda appeal to everyone

>>507911719BASED>remaster shitty game>it's still shit>be surprised by thisAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
