All your downsides was my highs, and vice versa. I've been playing games since the C64, and this was a perfect "light novel". Gameplay-wise this is Wanted Dead soft-core (in two meanings).

Is the PS4 version any good compared to the PC and Switch releases?

I think it's fun junk food. There are a lot of mindless games, like Dynasty Warriors and most mobile games, which exist as a way to turn off your brain and hit buttons and see things happen. They don't demand a whole lot from you, and I think it's ok. You go through the motions and are predictably rewarded, which often isn't the case in daily life.

"Touhou fans don't play Touhou games. When you play Touhou games, you're no longer a fan." That's what I've literally heard. Very interesting philosophy.

So... I should NOT get Psikyo Shooting Library for PS4?

Okay, I don’t fully disagree with your video. After playing the game myself, I did have fun. Yes, there are a few puzzles, yes there’s a swimming sequence here and there, but I felt like the game made up for it. Each area you go to has about 2-3 bosses, maybe extra if you do side quests, but I’m doing that currently in new game+ Gameplay isn’t super deep, but it is fun, and recognising a boss move and perfectly dodging it feels really satisfying. I never found an ‘empty corridor’ unless it was one leading to a boss, or a brief section to load in the next part of the map (space elevator really isn’t that long) Does the game have flaws? Yes. Is the game fun to watch? No. However, is it fun to play? I’d say yes. I for example could not watch someone play any Arkham game, as much as I love that series, watching it would be so repetitive. Finally, I don’t think the game was ever falsely advertised. It’s no where near perfect, but it’s still a good time. If your really unsure getting this game, then wait for a discount :) I like videos like this as it creates a solid point for discussion… we all have different tastes and opinions and I love that!

You should do a video on Razors edge, for all its flaws the core combat in that game is insanely good

Exactly! Scoring is the core of good game design. Thats why I skipped Mario Wonder, which is a streamlined crap

What is your current rank?

Sex appeal aside, the gameplay is surprisingly good and quite versatile. The story is lacking, but the lore of the world its self is interesting.

I was expecting a fun, breezy action game. Nothing compared to the OG Bayonetta, but something fun and flashy. I didn't even get that

great video. I have many memories playing DOA4 late into the night during summer break.

I wish we could have a Dead Cells kind of game as a Schmup :D with a personal hanger and everything.. Oh how i would love that!

My only complaint with the controls is that there's no way to go down a platform. When you press down+jump, you roll. For a long time Contra player, that's blasphemy hahaha. Nice video.

Me and my friends have an inside joke about "Routing" from RE5. And every time you say it here I'm giggling like an idiot. Nice vid wish I found it sooner.

The 3D movement feels god awful how the hell do people move around so easily

Thank god some people feel this way, I feel like I'm going crazy with all these people saying these remakes are peak gaming.

4:18 this is useless in ninja gaiden 1

Specific mechanics fail example: 3ds Samus Returns and Metroid Dread quick time react attacks. You're forced to use their stupid new move constantly, on every single critter in both games. Guess thirty years of Samus shooting bullets just isn't gonna cut it anymore!

$75 A$$

What grind my gears is games are seen as interactive movies. People talk about the gameplay for 2 minutes and they talk about the story, characters, graphics, music etc for 20. Video games are games, not videos. I am tired of the dumbing down and the actionisation of games. I am glad dragon quest still sells well and i am glad baldurs gate 3 did so well. It shows that there is a market and i hope square enyx will stop the madness.

Fun Fact DoA can be played with One Hand. In all seriousness I love this series. The visuals are what got me interested in the game but the fighting mechanics got me invested.

i bet people would play vf5 if they put it on steam

This is how I feel now. I’ve begun the arduous task of digitizing nearly 4000 game discs. I digitized my entire music library back in 2011, all 10,000 CDs, and saw no issue with that. For some reason I had to come to terms on digitizing and selling the bulk of my games, keeping those that have significant emotional connection or are very expensive to get physically. For the CDs that won’t run from a digital image, I use the No-CD patches, similar to what steam and GOG do. In the end, it’s all just bits and bytes.

@TheElectricUnderground thanks for this man, as yes I want to win of course but, learning how to properly play the game is more important especially since my goal is to eventually compete and possibly even win some local tournaments for the game in my hometown building bad habits and not learning how to play the game properly is going to hurt me in the long run when I eventually try to go to tournaments

This is on sale right now for $9.99. I went ahead and picked it up. The lag isn’t an issue for me but we’re talking someone who doesn’t really mind Redream that much so I’m not terribly sensitive unless it’s very blatant. I don’t love the visual options. I’d hoped it was actually rendering at 1080p but it seems it’s more of a “high res w/ effect filter” with no resolution options available sadly so filter off on a CRT is still is the best way to play this version technically which is a bit unfortunate for such a recent port. edit: “high res” isn’t so bad on an hd screen, it’s reasonably crisp

I believe that easy modes are good for introducing children and new audiences to games, but they should be introduced in such a way as to build those skills needed to progress to the intended difficulty. For example, the final level on "Easy" mode should lead organically to the first level on "normal" etc. If easy is the only mode that people play, then they might as well just watch a youtube playthrough and save themselves $50.

Dead or Alive is possibly the best fighting game franchise in my opinion, while street fighter, tekken or even soul calibur matches look like turn based fights, Dead or Alive frenetic style and hold system give it a swift, more realistic feel, at any moment the tables can be turned and they are usually a stylistic flash, just beautiful to watch, this apart from the aesthetics and beauty centered design of the games that made each character and stage just jawdropping, implementing stuff that were sheldom seen before or seen done in such high quality in their time like snow physics, reflective water and surfaces and so on, paired with the artistic choices of the character designs and the settings of many stages, specially those based in Japan and China, like the Koku An, Ninja Hideout, Sacred Miyama, Kyoto in bloom, Azuchi or Aerial Gardens to name a few, for some reason DOA seemed to peak at the third entry, at the time it looked like the franchise could become one of the most popular in the fighters area, yet despite 4 being incredible, it began a sort of slow decline. I think the franchise peaked, in terms of perfecting the formula, around DOA4 and DOA Dimensions but during the middle of the 7th gen era with the departure of Itagaki, Team Ninja seemed to think both DOA and Ninja Gaiden were in need of an overhaul and while i do not think the definitive versions of DOA5 and Ninja Gaiden 3 are bad at all, i do think they seem a little confused and self conscious, as if they wanted to keep the franchises as they were but didn't at the same time, subsequently stumbling in trying to change something without knowing what exactly, then with DOA6 this confusion and self consciousness became all the more notable, i do not think the game is bad either but it does not really feel much like the old DOA, neither the stages, the characters, the visuals in general, the gameplay being somewhat familiar yet somehow alien also, it does not have the trademark high quality of the past games that even the Last Round iteration of 5 has, it just looks completely off in the Dead or Alive cathegory. I do hope Team Ninja learns something from Capcom and stops fooling around and trying to appeal to as many as possible, DOA has a marked identity of the aforementioned beauty centered design and pushing graphics in order to fullfil that, yet without getting into the gritty hyper-realistic, having more of an artistic perspective, a swift fighting system, a marked, handcrafted quality and so on and that is fine, it was, to me, what made it stick while i eventually stopped playing most other fighters, if despite all these virtues, other people still prefer Tekken or SF then that is what variety's for, that's out of the DOA boundaries and what Team Ninja can do without making it something other than what it is and those of us who love DOA will never want the franchise to become like any of the others.

Just stumbled on your channel and have been binge watching. Awesome work you put in on your videos. Another game that would probably be heading to a similar path as Xydonia is a game called Starr Mazer DSP. I bought an early access version and it has been stuck there for quite sometime without any updates. Would love to hear your take on the game should you decide to look into it.
