Art style’s nice if not that freshly striking (yet), looks a solid blend for the genre. You can kinda see the best parts of 2B and Noctis movement sharpened up. Tight combos like :58 don’t suggest anything wildly new but there’s something to that timing.

Besides satisfactory chunk n chop, I’d love to see them trace a bit of Sekiro’s way and require more enemy “in your facedness”. A few less combo sponges. Spacing and evasion often becomes too easy in wide arenas, so it’s a right threat letting them close their own gap. Wishing anyways, I’m already there for most Plat and deep action slashin’.

I had no idea that was coming.

Seems like its a ways off so, lots of time to improve. Right now it looks like it plays like a twist on DMC5 Nero. But it also looks like there are multiple characters.

Visuals are underwhelming. I thought it was maybe a Switch version we were seeing.

It’s early on so a lot remains to be seen, right now an ok amlagam but enough to keep tabs, could become very promising. Yeah I imagine those silhouettes could be other playables.

From what I can see it kinda looks like Platinum trying to mechanically deliver on the things they had in Automata but for a more distinguished action game. The floating energy swords look like they might be mapped to their own buttons or be an actual resource to gauge for certain combo routes. 2B/9S also had a zip wire but it was one of those skills that had a 30 second cool down so it was less of a tool and more of a flourish. I certainly want to see more. From the title card at the end I’m assuming this’ll be a co-op kind of game.

I kinda don’t care, more interested in whatever yoko taro is working on next

I would like these graphics in a tactical RPG

does anyone know the answer to this:

why is their so much garbage on the Switch e-shop? i thought Nintendo was a platform that’s substantially harder to get your stuff on; how do these things make it through the vetting process?

Enough indies complained that they reversed course and now almost anything gets in

My Switch eShop question/pet peeve is why do so many games release on it 6 months to a year after the Steam release. I’m kind of left hanging between when I get hyped about a game and when I can play it in a more ergonomic way

the gamevice + steam link user experience is honestly competitive with my switch

I think I need to buy a better router to make that competitive, it works but the video quality is sketchy through 2 walls

I’m impressed with Steam Link’s controller support though, it definitely addresses the biggest hassle point. It even has a chording thing when your controller is missing buttons (cough cough MFi)

sadly wikidevi just went down permanently due to lack of time/funds but luckily I can still recite the list of atheros-based 4x4 mu-mimo chipsets from memory thanks to my own research

ax routers are starting to get cheap though I’m not sure how much of a liability falling back to 2x2 would be since basically no ax clients are 3x3 or 4x4, it’s probably fine if your desktop isn’t also on wifi

The Switch shop doesn’t even have a shopping cart. I don’t expect much from Nintendo but that shit blows my mind. I can’t be the only person who’s passed on buying games cuz they were too lazy to check out more than once.

I was thinking of getting the TP-Link AX3000. I read it has some 2x2 limitation but it didn’t looked like it matters (yes, my desktop uses ethernet). I’m sure anything I buy for $100+ will beat what I have now, which is a last-gen Google WiFi and my ISP’s hybrid fiber-modem+wifi box. If you have some top recommendation for super futureproofing I’d consider it though, I just did very minimal research

Anyway seems this should be in the hardware thread if it goes on any longer

honestly I would have a real hard time buying a 2x2 if I were concerned about stream stability, there’s a reason that’s the only cheap wifi 6 router on the market

I’m basically hoping that by the time I next upgrade my (ITX) desktop and notebook, both of which have 3x3ac which is extremely unusual in both form factors thanks to my own obsessiveness, and bump myself back down to 2x2ax, the ubiquiti alien or something is cheaper

3x3ac maxes at 1300mbps and 2x2ax goes to 2400 so it would still be an upgrade, it’s just band availability and all that
