And to avoid any confusion: I mean action a la Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden II, God Hand… etc. Not roguelikes, zeldalikes, or soulslikes.
This is from my original comment. What moving goal posts? More like the person who replied to my comment ignored my original goalposts because they didn't fit their narrative.
No need for the hostility. Hope you have a great rest of your weekend.
No hostility here. Just an appropriate response to your dolling out patronizing, unsolicited advice all while you're misreading my comment and missing my point.

Yet you proceeded to name a roguelike, two soulslike, and a zeldalike—all the games you listed play nothing like the games I listed (categorically different genres), but I don't assume nuance is of factor to you if you're going around being condescending to strangers online. Hope you have a great rest of your weekend.
IDK about western companies, but Japanese studios built their brand on weird, and I'm all for Capcom and Co. going back to their weird roots. That shit was fun.
Not really… only if you play indie genres. We get like one or two good indie action games a year.

What about fighting games? I can probably name like 3 indies in the past decade that made it big: Skullgirls, Them Fightin' Herds, and Melty Blood/Under Night In-Birth (And I'm being generous here by ignoring ASW's involvement)
Plenty of weirdness in the genres you play, maybe, but that doesn't cover every genre.
I keep whining about the lack of new, adventurous action games and dead PS2 franchises, so I figured I put my money where my mouth is and buy Gungrave G.O.R.E.
I love OG Gungrave (wish they port it to Steam)—Overdose not so much because I found it too obtuse in terms of level design and controls.
I'm also looking at Spirit X Strike. It's too reactive for my taste, so I haven't decided yet, but I want to support the developer.
Maybe I'll grab Zone of the Enders 2 as well? I don't remember how much I liked it, gotta revisit the PS2 game first.
Been mid for a few years now, in my experience. Most of the games I bought over the past two years I did outside of the Summer sale because most discounts are all the same anyway.
I've been eyeing Okami and it was 50% last week and it's 50% again now.
I pulled the trigger on The Wonderful 101 in March at 55% and I was worried I'll regret it in the Summer sale… it's 55% again.
Been also eyeing Lost Judgment… 70% in March and 70% again now.
Agree with PES being a really good football simulation. I always viewed FIFA as a cynical and jaded attempt at arcadifying football—never really been my cup of tea.
I can't be bothered with the camera management in Rematch. It sucks so bad the game literally tells you get used to no look passing/shooting because you won't have time to adjust your camera. Even when I kinda got used to it and got to score a few goals, I didn't feel any satisfaction—it felt too silly.
