riviera was horrible.

[Moogs]

Shenmue wasn't all that great, either.

[Lurky]

Resident Evil 4 was horrible too, apart from mercenaries.

Well QTEs were the worst part of Shenmue. They mesh neither with the primary purpose of Shenmue (walking around and looking at things) nor with its secondary purpose (punching people). They really don't have a purpose at all.

RE4, on the other hand, uses button mashing and QTEs very well. The button mashing links the desperation of the player's inputs to the desperation of the avatar's actions. QTEs fixed an old RE franchise problem of allowing the player to relax during a cutscene thereby breaking the momentum of the game.

Yeah, part of the problem of the God of War executions is that you have to do them all the time, and yeah, they might as well be cutscenes. You input some buttons, but the exact same thing happens every time, so it isn't like you are really doing much except deciding whether it shows you failing or succeeding.

[Lurky]

hell yes.

[boojiboy7]

now are we talking about RE4 mercenaris or GTA in Korea Neo War Mercenaries?

RE4 Mercenaries was fucking amazing. Epic even at times. I mean, fuck, that dude on waterworld that got named double donger...there have been epic battles with that son of a bitch.

the gta one seemed fun for the 15 minutes i got to play it.

[Lurky]

I'm talking about RE4 Mercenaries.
That game was a lot of fun.

[luvcraft]

is Mercenaries on both versions of RE4?

Mercenaries is the perfect Resident Evil.
If they could make the whole game like that, with occasional brief respite from the zombie hoard, and maybe just a few indoor sequences, it would be the best game ever.

[Baines]

Mercenaries was okay, but needs to go a ways further before it could justify being its own game.

It certainly isn't what I'd want main Resident Evil to become. The pace doesn't sustain itself for more than short bursts.

As well, it doesn't take a horribly long time before you can outlast what Mercenaries mode throws at you. More enemies in general at once isn't a solution, which mostly leaves cheaper enemies or more of the stronger enemies at once. (Such as the Garradors in the castle, or being chased by two Dr. Salvador X on water world.)

Such mechanics would probably be better spent on something like a GTA/RE crossbreed. Not Dead Rising, but bearing some simularities. (Unless you just wanted something like PN03. Which is what Mercenaries is based upon to begin with.)

and what i'm saying is that same scoring system and a much more similar feel to Dino Crisis 2. Now sure, the music may be recycled from PN03, but i find a much earlier and much closer source for mercenaries in DC2.

not to add more fuel to the fire, but I'm currently about 2/3 of the way through God Hand, and I have to say that I think Ninja Gaiden has a deeper combat system, although the two are very similar in their brutality. I will say more about this when I finish the game.

Also, I absolutely HAVE to say that the block-pushing and lever-flipping in God of War felt a LOT more natural than the block-pushing and lever-flipping in God Hand do.

As it stands right now, I'm glad I didn't pay more than $30 for God Hand, and I'm waffling on whether or not even that was too much.

[boojiboy7]

so, in other words, you suck.

I'm just joking, honestly.

[Shapermc]

You guys are making me want to finish RE4. I never thought that would happen.

There is no magical setup that will make the game easy. Man up, etc etc.

thank you for quoting freedom of choice, luvcraft. we are becoming cooler with each other, bro.

About the combo setup in Godhand, I thought that the triangle and x button moves were half-useless. I almost only used my square button combo. Well that was after about level 4 when my friend came over and set up some super-effective(not godly though) combo.

The best thing I can recommend is putting a quick guard-breaker on the second or third move slot(Helped me a LOT against DH), adding an attack that makes people dizzy on the second-to-last slot and putting a launching kick on the last.

And yeah, before that all I did was string strong moves together. I sucked hard :/

EDIT: Alright I checked try High side kick --> Spinning sobat --> Elbow vortex --> Overhead blow --> Stomping fist --> High cross kick.

Works wonders against human-sized enemies and fatasses. Yes, even those strong dudes that keeps mentionning Alexander the great.

It wasn't killing the Harpies I couldn't stomach it was killing the Sirens. The QTE where you hugged them close and then broke their backs. It just felt so creepy and misogynistic.
