We will see! It just seems like not the kind of game you ever invest much time in but maybe this will be the one. I am surprised biggs didn’t like IW more when I think of its combat but less surprised when I think of all the conversation in that game .

Yeah I don’t like FB at all but I can’t be too mad at a company I otherwise dislike being willing to lose tons of money developing technology that personally interests me.

My prediction is that biggie comes around to it a little bit and best can’t stand it after like two hours or so

I would say from what I’ve played (which isn’t much yet!) that on normal it’s probably on the easier side more like a Ninja Gaiden game and on story it’s also more like what you’d expect from an easy mode in a Ninja Gaiden game. If you’ve played FF0 i’d also compare it to that.

I don’t normally care too much about music in games. It’s not something I note too often. I appreciate a good zippy platformer soundtrack pushing things along but it’s not a crucial piece for me and I often play games with sound very low while watching tv. There are some exceptions like I love the music in the recent Ys games. And I think the Nier Automata soundtrack is phenomenal. One of the few games (again, besides Ys) that really made me take notice. So all that is to say that I think it’s impressive that they nailed that aspect here. Because like they are trying to copy Nier Automata in a way by having a good soundtrack. But you can’t like..just say ok we are going to have a good soundtrack too! To actually hit that goal is quite an accomplishment.

Im not into sports but tbf I am into sports games such as tennis. I am also giving it some time and willing to learn and I think it’ll be worthwhile but I do wish it was a new VT World Tour we got instead of this.

Yeah I think you’ll definitely dig this. Just wait until you know nobody will be coming over to play it :P Yes, it is. - One nice little thing I’d like to call out is that you can hold down the button to pick items up and pick up everything collectible you run by. I appreciate when games do that mechanic that way.

lol no I skipped right over that cuz i just wanted to play some tennis :P I plan to check it out later but for now Im just working on timing and leveling up.

Yeah this is a good ass looking console game. Might be my last ps5 regular game before the pro comes out so I’m glad they nailed down a good IQ/performance here. A lot of the current gen only stuff on console is just too rough IQ wise for me when there isn’t a pc day1 release to not just wait. I fully blame amd for this. Game has such a good opening and the music is already A+++. Art design minus the humans is top notch. Nice windows for perfect party/dodge and an air dodge have me hype on the combat early on. As far as the controversy surrounding the game, I mostly just think the main character design is dumb. It doesn’t ruin the game for me but it’s just stupid and they should make a normal character next time because man what a self inflicted wound. I don’t think it’s as big of a part of the game as some people make it out to be, but also it’s not something worth celebrating and is a negative. Game has a good spacey weirdness to its atmosphere. Pretty hype. I think John’s DF review does a good job summing up why this one ended up sparking my interest. Just a really solid performing action game without any major issues, 20hour~ length, random bits of varied mechanics sprinkled throughout. And lots of vibes.

I mean it doesn’t seem like there is thattttt much to learn just to play regularly though it is difficult. I think you may be over complicating it cuz you just wanted to play some arcade tennis asap :P Try just playing some exhibition on very easy with the pros and start getting into the zone on timing imo

@Biggie what’s funny is our big issue with Mario Tennis Aces, the last real arcadey tennis game, was also being too difficult. Who decided tennis games needed to be punishing?? I think this will be worth learning tho, it’s a lot of fun once you start getting the hang of it. Also exhibitions where you play as an actual player are much easier and can be pretty much played as VT on easy difficulty.

I told yall it was hard!

Fuck training, just start my career and be okay with getting your ass kicked as you learn. You do one training, one special activity, and one tournament each “month” so you will be doing tons of training as you play it anyway.

Yeah the lighting and and animation and generally the courts look nice so actual gameplay is fine looking. But I don’t even know what happened with those models.

I mean they both are so damn good :P Mario Wonder is slightly better if I had to pick and one of the best platformers period so yeah I mean get that asap
