If you liked the first one you will like this one. Story mode is pretty dope again.

302259, I'm on the fence.

Some parts of this game look amazing.

The stages are all-time great status.

The cutscene animations look good, if uncanny at times.

The different single player modes and gear grinding sounds fun enough.

And there's hella attention to detail everywhere.

But...

The gameplay animations still look like 90s green screen trash.

The character models are mostly weak.

And the gameplay itself is that same old full-screen projectile keep-away vs. teleporter high-low mixup blockstring NRS bullshit.

I might cop eventually, tho.
302272, and this is why it's not worth more than a redbox to me.

it's just a clunky game style.
302274, I've been watching clips of high level play

trying to understand the appeal, and I just don't see it.

Zoning is hella strong in the game, so most matches be ending with projectile chip kills. BORING.

It's been fun seeing all the salty rage people get from playing against Deadshot, tho.

I'll cop when this shit is on sale.
302270, if only Capcom could learn from NRS on how to make a full game

302277, they could both take lessons from arc system works

guilty gear is the most complete implementation of a fighting game on the market
302300, Outside of ASW's price gouging for version upgrades, I agree

Guilty Gear Xrd has provided everything one should expect from modern fighting game releases, which is why I keep throwing my money at the series even though I don't really play anime fighters.
302275, Something about these animations bothers me

Like some Rise of the Robots type of shit.
302276, I didn't know what it was either until I saw this:

302293, wow wow wow this video is perfect.

302294, Yup. It blew my mind.

It also explains why I always had a soft spot for Tekken even when it wasn't always the prettiest fighter; they always did a really good job of animating...like those instant replays with those punches from pullback to follow through and that smash sound...gorgeous.
302298, thanks for sharing that

goddamn NRS games look wonky as fuck. how do people play this shit?
302299, Most people don't once they finish story mode.

>how do people play this shit?

I actually think NRS does the genre a great disservice by cynically expecting most customers not to care about the fighting game part of their fighting games, but they sell hella copies because of all of them bulletpoints on the back of the box so what the fuck do I know?
302301, LOL. Its not that bad

The actualy FIGHTING ain't SF perfection but its solid. The problem is that watching it is thoroughly uninteresting. Like some of the combos look fun on paper with the projectile/aerial juggles for instance. But the thing is that it's so clunkily animated it looks more like glitches then lets say MVC3 shit.

302302, You right. I just saw a lane to go hard in the hate paint and I took it.
Posted by IkeMoses, Thu May-25-17 05:31 PM
302306, lol

302305, He put everything that bothers me into words.
Posted by Innocent Criminal, Thu May-25-17 09:06 PM
I could never quite articulate why watching this game bothered my so much until this. Thanks.
302291, main reason I can't fuck with NRS.
Posted by will_5198, Wed May-24-17 08:51 PM
those clunky animations combined with 3-D hitboxes make the gameplay feel sloppy as hell to me.
302309, I watched the cut scenes on Youtube and thoroughly enjoyed it
Posted by chillinCHiEF, Fri May-26-17 11:06 PM
Fuck if I'm gonna play a NRS game to watch em tho
