      there's a fine line when you try to go "so bad it's good" route, as to not make something that's not enjoyable even in that capacity. from what I've seen since release, Wanted Dead pivots hard into just bad and not fun to play in any sense.

      Sometimes it is the fault of some artless, soulless bureaucrat so disconnected from reality that reality has a restraining order out against them. Who cares about testing!? We'll patch it later! Push it out now or the shareholders'll be frowny! Etc. etc.
      But... sometimes the problems *are* because of bad developers, bad design decisions, or both. And no amount of polish or time to refine or bug hunt would ever save the game in question.
      I can't say which this is - maybe more time in the oven could have made this work. But... there seems like there are a lot of fundamental design philosophy problems that would need full on overhauls, not just a little extra love.

    As in DOA, strikes beat throws, throws beat counters, counters beat strikes.
    In WD, strikes beat guns, guns beat parrys, parry beat strikes.

    Hello, I am someone who bought this and loved it. One of my favorite games of all time is Ninja Gaiden 2, and this met my expectations while also doing something different
    The combat is great and challenging, but I also didn't sit in the back and shoot everything like you guys seem to have. Once you learn the enemy's patterns, parrying is super rewarding. The variety of finishers are probably the coolest thing after you put in the work to kill each "bullet sponge." If you like John Wick style takedowns, that's what you'll get. After you max out the skill tree and learn the game, you become an unstoppable badass
    The humor was ridiculous in a good way. Herzog's jokes, the voice actors, and the general tone of the game outside of the main story is just goofy but I laughed several times. The story was nonsensical, I am absolutely agree. I've beaten it twice and I don't know what it's about
    There's also a few live cooking shows hosted by Stefanie Joosten (Vivienne/Gunsmith) that deliver some of the best deadpan comedy I've seen. It's an absolute joy
    Overall, no, I wouldn't say it's worth $60. $40 at most, but I think the game is unique, fun, and has a ton of charm. I'm working on my Japanese Hard playthrough now

    When are developers finally going to realize, that having bullet-sponge enemies in a game just for the sake of having them; isn't fun or innovative.
    I'm all for having tough enemies that are both challenging and rewarding, but that's the key; the payout for defeating said enemies needs to be worth the effort and time spent into learning their mechanics.
    Elden Ring is a prime example in this instance, the bosses and mini bosses can be absolutely brutal at times but the rewards for beating said bosses are often times better weapons and gear; which leads to the player becoming stronger and better equipped as a result.

    I’m not about to watch this review, but don’t listen to this if they say it’s the worst game or a bad game. The game is amazing it’s a throwback to PS3/xbox360 generation slasher game. Play it for yourself it’s fun if you like ninja gaiden, MGS revengeance I bought the steel book version now when it gets cheaper I’ll buy them on Xbox, ps4 for collection.

      Honestly I think that's just marketing bullshit. When they say it's the devs from Ninja Gaiden, they mean two people who were a part of the team that made Ninja Gaiden. And you can feel that from this game but clearly it wasn't enough.

  • @gh0stly1
    @gh0stly1 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I've seen this stream with them playing the Wanted: Dead game and actually, a lot of times they didn't use the game mechanics at all..
    To defeat "spongy enemies" and ninjas you have to use the "bullet time" and other abilities, dodge a lot, be carefull how you use the ammo. The melee it's main way to kill enemies and you have to be really good on the melee part to survive. it's like an Dark Souls game but you have to use sometimes the bullets to survive. That's how was the game designed from the start, to be verry difficult, it's not for everyone and actually it really has the vibe of Ninja Gaiden. You really have to use every mechanic to survive in this game, and i think it was a good game.
    The storry and voice acting wasn't bad or borring, sometimes the story and the mini games had the vibes of yakuza games and the gameplay was fun when you understand every mechanic and how to play it, even if sometimes it feels repetitive (that's what i don't like it actually). But in rest it's good, hope we'll have a sequel, maybe better than the first one, and i think it deserves the 60$. I finished it and i've like it.😁
    Just don't play it with high hopes of an AAA game, it's an japanese indie game, obviously, it was obvious from the start that thing and don't rush it like Alex did. When you rush a game you'll never enjoy it.
    And i've seen all the streamers and reviewers doing this mistakes: not using the all mechanics of the game and trying to finish the game as fast as possible and after that saying that's a bad game :))). So, take the reviews with a grain of salt.

    How could those that made Ninja Gaiden screw up this bad? ~looks it up~ Ooooh, that is some convoluted bullshit marketing nonsense there. Soleil Ltd made this game, and they absorbed Valhalla Game Studios a few years ago. VGS was founded by two guys that worked on Monster Rancher (Satoshi Kanematsu), Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive (Tomonobu Itagaki) between them. Let me rephrase that: Soleil Ltd did not make NG or DoA, they just happen to have the guy that created DoA in the company for a short period after acquiring VGS. Itagaki left that same year.
    EDIT: Looked into it more and I'm certain that this game was supposed to be a Devil's Third sequel.

It's pretty much a PS2 game at heart. PS2 games had horrible AI and bad camera angles in the beginning. It's almost like you trying to say all PS2 games are bad and didn't age. Now it's like you want copy n paste last of us for every game. Devs can't be different and have different styles anymore these days?

      There actually is genuine talent and heart behind this game. Its flawed too, but has some great stuff like their version of robots (which feels really timely because of recent AI stuff) and the main character acts really cool and above it all but actually has trouble attaching because of her backstory, which she overcomes with the help of her team. Nothing revolutionary but it is definitely fun good stuff and a lot of people would be able to appreciate it if they could see past the flaws. Gameplay is also really good.
