We don’t have enough good Kaiju games, IMO. Inaba robbed us of Project G.G. or Kamiya messed up, IDK. But they need to work it out and finish that project at some point.
Maybe Clovers can buy the IP if Okami 2 is a hit, who knows. I doubt Platinum would mind.
Bruh, I still haven’t bought the first game because I don’t wanna give money to Microsoft… now I won’t buy the sequel because I don’t wanna give money to Krafton. Madness.
Consensus seems weak environmental design, mediocre graphics, and awesome combat—more Platinum than TN, which fans more or less predicted from the pre-release footage. As a Platinum fan myself, I don’t mind that, but I see why this can annoy the Itagaki faithful.
I’ve seen Steam reviews bring up some performance issues most critic reviews didn’t, but apart from that, I’m satisfied with the reception enough to add it to my wishlist. It’s such a nice feeling knowing there’s a new action game waiting to be bought and played. We don’t get to experience this feeling nearly enough.
Hopefully, Onimusha and Okami 2 will follow suit and we’ll get a DMC6 announcement soon.
Reportedly, Itagaki was an alcoholic and chainsmoker. I don’t think he cared much to live long and, TBH, his games reflected it. I can’t think of anything more YOLO in gaming than that staircase fight in NGII. Man designed a fight to break the console and bragged about it.
Controversial figure. IDK if I ever liked him, TBH. Even though he was cleared of the sexual harrasment charges, he still admitted to having an affair… and he gave us one of the best action games of all-time. Weird guy.
Hopefully, he’s at peace now and whoever was affected by his weird life decisions is at peace as well.
Now that he’s dead, will Team Ninja and Tecmo stop holding vanilla NGII hostage out of spite?
Can we not use “roguelite” and “arcade” in the same sentence? Roguelite is the anti-arcade.
Arcade games don’t reward you with permanent power ups for losing runs, that’s just modern gaming nonsense, which you can enjoy, just get your terminology right and don’t mislead people.
