TIME SINK GAMES 2017 UPGRADE
TIME SINK GAMES 2017 PSP

Hades is ok I didn't care for it as much as I did Coded Arms even if a more basic roguelike maybe lite as it's more fair/not as committed shooter by Konami for the PSP that gets overlooked by their other IPs. Not played Sifu, Calamity, I want to Astral Chain when I can. Not having played Hellblade (Ninja Theory also know for action games like DMC Reboot, Heavenly Sword, Enslaved being more a action adventure) and similar with the camera angle as GOW2018 I assume it fits?ĭarksiders glad to see I always feel whenever I see action game channels on YT no one talks about it only the usual ones.ĭarksiders, Bayonetta/DMC obviously on here. But lacking combos access (and not a more items as you go along that God of War did) is more glaring I find in DMC5 then old God of War and with GOW2018 I don't remember enough, I just didn't care I think as I already wasn't a fan of the camera and other things anyway or seeing the skills benefit me. While with 5 I barely use the devil trigger/other abilities in that range for the other characters. Starting from the base then expanding a certain direction or keeping it simple (or something else in there like Hades as a roguelike or upgrades along the way until you restart a run) instead of expectations of skill trees and other such like many long running series/those with a high budget where devs thing it should be that way while many fans into RPGs sure may but I don't know if many of us action game fans really want them and ruin the flexibility we had before.ĭMC5 I've felt it to be limiting getting upgrades this way while old God of War I never felt it was that bad for whatever reason because getting items along the way as more options besides more combos balanced things out I guess. Ninja Gaiden just allowing everything from the start just weapon enhancing I think (having only played 2 on 360).

I agree that only Indies really keep to their purest these days (besides your Musou games that do offer combos and skills I think with a more 'use resources from enemies to upgrade' at least with Hyrule/Fire Emblem Warriors games I don't know about earlier Dynasty Warriors or remember enough of what 9 did when it went open world but I remember a lot being there.

Darksiders 2 had skill trees and became an RPG (God of War should have gone it's direction with many weapons/armour not the half approach they tried to do with armour/skills and 2-4 weapons that I think doesn't work but that's just me even besides no jumping).ĭevil May Cry (having only played Reboot & 5 didn't get far in 1-3 yet so maybe 3 or 4 offer upgrades I'm not sure, own all the games just haven't played them all to find out how each differs) had upgrade shops and God of War always had upgrades in the inventory menu before the skill trees today so some sort of went that way to add depth in their own directions. TL:DR - As a fan of RPGs who's never played a pure action game, are there any high quality, critically acclaimed action games that still have (small-but-nevertheless-notable) RPG-like aspects that might be appealing to someone like me? Would be curious what the good folks here in comments section might recommend. Plus, the best action games tend to be glitzy and high budget, and thus - unless you can jump in during some kind of major sale - are usually kind of an expensive proposition, with a high price of entry.

The most I've gotten into the genre is through action-RPGs, but even with those games, there's usually at some enphasis put upon stat-driven progression - something which I worry that a purely action type of game will be missing, to a fault. Is it weird that in my 35 years of gaming, I've never played a modern (non-platforming) 3D action game?īeing a huge fan of RPGs, I've always been on unsure about whether or not I should take a dip.
