Hero-of-Time

Quite tempted to pick up a copy. I imagine retailers will be ordered to return all their copies. Could be a neat collectors piece.

Insane that they had the balls to do this. The numbers must have been absolutely dire.

I love that scene.

Shibata was great. Bole? Don't recall ever seeing him once.

Looks like the force is weak with this one.

I see James Darren has passed away. RIP Vic Fontaine.

Games is probably finished and so they are cleaning house. Didn't even wait for the thing to release.

New footage for the game has been released over in Japan. Lots of images have also been released on the Japanese website.

My impression after watching One Piece for the first time...the opening theme tune sucks. Not huge on the voice acting either. Probably would have preferred to watch it in Japanese.

I was reading that they've pretty much gone dark on X/Twitter since the launch of the game. With the way cuts and layoffs are being made in the industry, it must be scary times over there. 8 years in development and then a financial bomb of epic proportions.

Are the tunes banging? Do they slap?

I had a look at the trophy percentages and it looks like the PS5 version is fine. I ended up playing a some more of this before going to bed. I decided to play through a couple of the extra maps that are unaffected by the trophy glitch. Astral Stair confused the hell out of me. I didn't know where to go until I realised there were doors scattered about the place. They blend in far too much to the background to be really noticeable, especially when stuff is flying left and right on the screen. I then played through Space 54. Wasn't a fan of this stage at all. Whole thing just seemed too disjointed to be any fun. Me sat at work right now wanting to play more VS.

Hilarious. All of their games are delayed and stuck in development hell but let's announce a new game anyway.

Hate that there's now an international break. One always seems to hit when we are in form. It's ridiculous that they happen so soon after the season starts.

Now that all of the secrets and trophies are out, I fired up the game and earned them all. Needless to say I used a guide. How you were supposed to work out what to do without looking up on the internet is beyond me.

Had a crack at Adventure more. It takes a bit of adjusting after being fully powered and now having to start from scratch. @drahkon are you playing the PS5 version? I'm on the PS4 and it appears some of the DLC trophies are broke at the moment. PS4 version seems to be the knackered one. Can't find anything regarding the PS5 version though. I'll probably shelve the game until the trophies are fixed. Reading through the thread, there is certainly some truth to what Shekiah was saying. I love the gameplay loop but once you find a combo that works for you then the game is pretty easy and can play itself. There have been a few times where I probably could have left the game running and would have been in no danger of being killed. Good job you can manually quite out of the game. Shame I'm going to hang fire to play the DLC. Still, I've got a good 25+ hours out of the base game so I'm due a break.

Yeah, dude is terrible.

Decent first half. I don't think we've played brilliantly but we've taken what little chances we've had.

What the heck is with this Sonic stage?

I've had a great time playing this yesterday and today. It's been a long time since a game has hooked me this much. It's so much fun to play. It harkens back to when gameplay was king and a game wasn't filled with busy work. Just pure gameplay at its finest. Anyway, the base game is complete. I've got a decent handle on the game now. My beginner plan was to level up the Crown as soon as it appears so that I can level up faster. I then concentrate on getting both the Knife and Whip sorted, with the Pentegram close behind. I then take care of protecting myself with either the King Bible, Garlic or Santa Water. I could slot in the Lightning Ring if need be. Using this method has carried me all the way to the last boss, as well as doing some of the level 50 character challenges. Once they are all evolved it's not too difficult. However, once I started unlock and using more characters I found most weapon combos are quite viable. I think the only ones I found pretty useless were flame staff and cats. Speaking of which (or should that be witch?), Giovanna is awful to use. Her main weapon is garbage, even when levelled up and evolved. Proving once again that cats suck. Another tricky challenge was using Divano, getting him to level 50 and reaching stage 31 on Mad Forest. The very start of the stage was a nightmare and I spent a lot of the time running and picking up what little gems I could. Eventually the tables turned and.... You shall not pass! It's hilarious how over the top everything becomes. I mean, Queen Sigma's flashy move is hilarious to watch and butchered everything in sight. Lovely stuff. I picked up a couple of the DLC packs that came with trophies and so I'll be tackling those next. Marvellous game.

It's as bad as you still saying "Ninty". Now who's stuck in the 90's? Bet you call Miyamoto Shigsy/Shiggy as well.

What's the point of Il Molise? Just had a go of that level and I'm not sure what you're supposed to do in it. Is it a purely grinding stage?

Huge loss for Capcom. The dude has had his hand in many big Capcom franchises over the years.

To the surprise of nobody, it looks like Concord was a massive flop. From IGN... Absolutely nuts if it has sold that little.

Gave the character a whirl. Not bad but I still like the knife dude. Is the character supposed to be Bayonetta? Yeah, I thought of our conversion when I see the trophy. Just finished level 4 myself. Decided to give the Pentagram a whirl. It certainly comes in handy in the final few minutes when most weapons have trouble clearing the field. Still not huge on it though.
