original winback is actual garbage, in a way that i found repellent instead of intriguing. However this may have been because i came to it after winback 2 which fucking owns so god damn hard (it was a contender for this list but it is legitimately good all the way).
T-pose-lunge is the most aerodynamic shape for turning on the spot.

Agreed winback 2 is near perfect and belongs in the Exquisite Luxury Action thread

this is one of the first times i can remember having a SelectButtonish thought about a game, which was “It’s fascinating how this game has purposefully made a boring minigame, lowering the barrier between the player and the character by making them both bored simultaneously.”

i promise i am going to add more to this thread at some point so 
Ninja Trash!
Ninja Blade (most memorable for QTEs that just loop endlessly if you fail them)
Red Ninja: End of Honor (atrocious in most respects but simulates using a taut wire as a weapon in an interesting way)
Yaiba Ninja Gaiden Z

the water looks really cool in red ninja
i remember this because our copy of tenchu got broken as a kid so for awhile my only ninja game was this: my dad bought it because he specifically draws art of women with big tiddies holding swords. the tutorial stage is a blue skies sega game and every stage after is an ugly muddy mess dungeon

Yeah environments were a bit of a drag. The flaming hell-temple of the final boss was neat even if that fight was roasted garbage. I’ll always have a soft-spot for it even if it will probably be remembered for the risque cover.
Also for being Metal Wolf Chaos canon, as that image you posted actually shows. Oh, also for being able to turn your ninja into a neon nightmare.

- Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet (it’s on everything. I played it on ps4)
I expected this to be extremely horny and have kinda dumb bad tps action. Instead it was only medium-horny hegehehheheheghe~
All the enemies take way too long to kill but that’s ok because the shooting is actually great! The aim-assist is fantastic, like half the screen is viable reticle so you really only have to be aiming kinda-sorta at an enemy to hit them. I love it.
Everything else is basically shit. The environments are giant bland artless wastescapes, the characters are about as compelling as gravel, and the plot might as well be procedurally generated.
Cool aim-assist aside I don’t think anyone else ever needs to play this lmao.

bov do you think dogs would like valkyrie drive bhikkhuni
I’ve not played it but everything I’ve heard is that it’s a legit action game that’s also extremely anime horny
sounds like a great fit for someone who could stomach the SAO game then!

i kinda love that the player-character’s head covers the reticle unless you’re moving, which i guess gently incentivises constant strafing/dodging etc.
