Agree with a lot thats been mentioned already, especially the platforming and maps/navigation.

One that hasnt been mentioned, I think having only 5 characters is too few. 6 would be good since you have teams of 3. If your main team of 3 gets wiped out, having a backup team of 3 makes more sense than having just 2. Not a major gripe but most big ones have been said already.

Taki, IIRC she had a 3 hit combo that ended with a low attack and got 99% of people I played against, plus that low attack puts her on a crouching stance and from there she has another combo that can ring out.

I may be mixing up my Soul Caliburs here its been a while.

Not always. Sometimes, the penultimate boss is the actual main villain of the game that you have a reason to care about, and the final boss is Ooga Booga, the evil blob from the void that has been vaguely referenced a few times but is otherwise a complete non-entity.

FFIX comes to mind.

Just finished it.

Pretty intense and violent episode, even by Invincible standards. Enjoyed it overall, one thing I didnt like was the Eve resurrection. Felt it was out of nowhere and the explanation she gave wasnt really enough for me (and yes Ive watched the Atom Eve special).

So if she has no mental blockers she can pretty much do anything? Dont know what happens in the comics but hope they explore that more.

Just caught up with season 6.

Im wondering what the final mens fight will be.

For the womens fight it seems like theyre going for Zara vs the winner of Tory vs Sam.

For the mens fight my guess is the rubber match between Miguel vs Robby, which Im down with considering all their history.

Since Johnny defended Kreese against Silver, Im thinking theyre on the same side again, at least in the enemy of my enemy is my friend sense. Also, Chozen and the Korean sensei are also on good terms again. So Cobra Kai is now on the good side. Since theyre male champ is dead, I think in the next episodes either Robby or Miguel joins Cobra Kai as the new male champ, setting up the finals.

It'll feel familiar enough, much in the same way the originals of both were similar. I would say it's places a little differently, this one feels a bit more cumbersome, but you're playing a regular dude and not a trained cop or special forces team, so it's likely by design.

Now I don't necessarily mean slower particularly, just... Different. Watch some combat videos and you'll likely see, can't really explain it too well at the moment because of a heartache lol

DuuuDe14 posted...
There's more of an emphasis on melee combat, similar to the Last of Us or Callisto Protocol. There's 3 different guns and on over the shoulder camera.

You're going to be going through dungeons similar to the RPD looking for supplies, fighting enemies, solving puzzles etc.

But there's more of an emphasis on atmosphere then a Resident Evil game.

Thanks for the responses, also enjoyed Last of Us so Ive decided to get this game.

And @R_Jackal hope you get over your heartache lol

Are you taking about choosing A then miss the B outcome in side quests?

Other than these, there are quests that will be forever lost if you pass near them without reacting (even if you reload the area, they will be gone), or in extreme cases, they will disappear right in front of you if you don't react quickly enough.

The jump from Horizon in the first game to the second is eye opening. 47 to 220
Spider-Man 1 to 2 is 90 to 315? Crazy.

So will the next Ghost of Tsushima game go from 60 to like 250+?

The budgets are out of control. I really dont see that much difference in those horizon and Spider-Man sequels to justify that type of cost increase.

I personally think the numbers are inflated. Maybe not by much, but inflated nonetheless, mainly because of the things you pointed out: theres not really much of a jump between the sequels, so I dont get why the budgets grew so much.

They mention pretty early GF use causes memory loss. I think that's the one bit of foreshadowing they used. Gives no hints to the twist itself but preemptively explains how it was possible.

It is mentioned early, but you have to access Squalls desk computer to find the info. The main/mandatory story never tells you until the twist.
