I don't get this, /v/.

Why, first of all, is Vanquish getting bad press? Game Informer shot it down for being "4 hours long", and now Jim Sterling gave it a 5.0 for, while valid complaints (some of them), it makes it seem more like he hated the game for not being casual as fuck.

And now, you guys, who trolled the fuck out of Fallout 3 for being "Oblivion with guns 2.0", have threads about New Vegas everywhere?

I mean, what the flying fuck?

Heard people and other fellows alike than:

The game time doesn't counts cutscenes

And than it is indeed around 5 hours and half in average. Might take you less, or more.

Even Platinum stated they wanted to go with an arcade-like experience.

>>76131932
It's Bayonetta without Women and as a Third Person Shooter, as far as I see it.

I've yet to hear anything really negative about it.

The only point that gave me a moment to pause was that is was short. Now, one of the devs stated that it was impossible to beat in 4 hours, even on casual (I enjoyed the stealth jab at the reviewer), but that might just be the dev running damage control.

So the only negative point as to whether or not it is a good game is the length, which might not actually be an issue as it remains to be seen.

As for me? I preordered it fully, and I only have to pick it up tomorrow, I think I will enjoy it, based on how much I enjoyed the demo.

As for why /v/ isn't talking about it? Not a clue man. I think it's sort of left of the radar at the moment, as much as /v/ loves to hate the mainstream games, we love to fill up our board with posts about it, meanwhile, Vanquish, which has had relatively little press is off in the periphery. Besides, we had our Vanquish circlejerks when the demo came out.

1-It's a generic god of war rip-off that is 4 hours long.
2-Fallout: NV is made by a DECENT team and is a much, MUCH longer game, we all hate the fact that it still sues F3 engine, but that doesn't make it any less awesome.

Scoreboards is the major reason to replay it. As someone mentioned earlier - might've actually been you - the game has a very arcadey feeling to it.

Sin & Punishment: Star Successor was just about as short, and that was a fantastic game. I'd be disappointed with the length if the game itself wasn't fun, but considering how much time I put into the 10 minute demo alone, I can't say I'll be done with Vanquish any time soon.

Read.

The most important thing for me is that people try to play Vanquish as Vanquish and not as a generic cover shooter. I’ve seen any number of people play the game without really using Boost or AR and come away from it without having made the most of it. These systems make the game what it is, great instead of just good.

I said Vanquish wasn't in the mainstream camp.

>"as much as /v/ loves to hate the mainstream games"

Also, IGN stated that the normal campaign is more like 7-8 hours long, which came as a bit of a welcome surprise.

Nothing that I discovered. Cleared it with a time ~4 hrs 30 mins on normal with 19 deaths. Died to stupid mistakes, mainly meleeing at the wrong time which led to getting raped by crossfire.

Well, here's what includes:

Speed kills, so go faster!

You can play Vanquish like a normal shooter, or you can play it as it is meant to be played. This game is focused almost entirely on speed, so why not leave cover and start a controlled robot-killing spree? It's all about eliminating each and every one of your enemies in the fastest time possible, and this guide shows you how to do just that. If you're aiming for the leaderboards you'll need to be fast. This guide is your fast forward key.

Two separate Campaign Guides
The extensive first Walkthrough is based on the Normal and Hard difficulty settings. It reveals the best ways to approach every single battle in the game and provides tips for scoring highly. The unique 'Velocity Attack' guide teaches you, how the game is meant to be played: Fast and flawlessly. Here you learn how to master Vanquish - on the God Hard difficulty setting!

Weapons & Combat

Here's where it continues:

Robots dismantled
We take an in-depth look at Vanquish's many unique and highly lethal enemies. Each of their attacks is described in detail and strategies are provided to take them out both as easily and as quickly as possible.

High-detail Maps
Expertly drawn maps accompany each section of the guide, making the strategies as clear as possible by marking out key positions. Every weapon pickup is highlighted so you always know what's coming.

100% Completion
The Completion chapter makes unlocking and mastering all Extras in Vanquish as simple as possible. Includes separate guides for the Pangloss Statues, all Achievements/Trophies and the Tactical Challenges.

The Art of Vanquish
See how Vanquish's sci-fi universe was created. The beautiful artwork, early designs and concepts that defined how the game looks is all presented here. Plus an exclusive interview with the creators of Vanquish, Director Shinji Mikami and Producer Atsushi Inaba.

Exclusive Strategy Videos
Access the video section of future-press.com to find countless videos of strategies and techniques from the guide. They are the perfect supplement to the book, showing exactly how the written theory is put into action.

I feel like buying it for the cool art and such. But eh, I don't know. It IS 13$ at this moment on Amazon, but the fact that it's probably heavy and big will rape my wallet on International Shipping.

God, why is shipping so expensive?!

You know what I'd rather support Vanquish which is trying something new than support modern "good" video games that just rehash the same shit.

Judging by the demo Vanquish is the type of game I can have a blast replaying again and again, like the games of the NES. Video games are so absorbed now in trying to be an artform that they've forgotten that we play them to blow up shit and have cool moments. I'm not going to lie I was hoping for a big campaign full of hilarious cutscenes like God Hand, but this game still looks awesome. I'm supporting Platinum and I can't wait till my copy arrives in the mail from FUCKING GAMESTOP.

No I meant that if you usually rush into the fray of things you'll get gangraped/stunlocked/ripped apart/etc.

It rewards fast clearing and playing smart/memorizing exploitable patterns (i.e when a group of enemies teleport into the action), but if you melee at the wrong time you're dead.

The press hates hard games, the press looks down on games that don't have multiplayer. Vanquish requires you to play multiple times through to get the games full experience most reviewers play it once and drop it, that being said I'm not surprised about the marsh words it's given. If I've learned anything coming from this generation of video games, it's this

Fuck reviewers, they don't know shit about video games.

"or" is the qualifying word there champ

That means one or the other. Not both. Or creates a situation where you could separate them into two ideas. One would be,"You like games that are not popular." The other would be,"You like games that are developed by Japanese developers."

Clover were the ones that did that.

1) No multiplayer. And it's fucking short. Arcade style? Not when it's single player only. Piss off with the excuses.

2)It cost a whole $60. Argue as much as you want about OMG FUN! I rather spend that $60 on New Vegas, because it'll be FUN and LONG and MODS. Let's not talk recent games. I rather spend some of it on The Witcher or DMC4, if I hadn't gotten them already.

3)I didn't like Bayonetta. But I did like DMC 4... don't really know why though, so I really can't comment on the comparison with bayonetta.

4)If by trying something different equates to a full priced short game with just a little bit difference to it just because you scrutinize the gameplay. No.

Thats all I need though. You said /v/ only likes Vanquish because its Japanese and not extremely popular, like Gears, which /v/ dislikes.

I then gave you an example of a game like you said Vanquish was and it was a bad game, nobody on /v/ even knows it fucking exists and the people who do know how horrible it is.

Vanquish is actually quite different than Gears, but if you didn't have Cliffy B's dick up your ass, you'd know that...AND HEY, CLIFFY B LIKED VANQUISH WHEN HE PLAYED A DEMO.

Now back to Quantum Theory, at its core, it is Japanese Gears, through and through. Now thats why it sucks. it does nothing new to make itself better, even Gears 2 and by the looks of it Gears 3 are doing so.

Also, Gears was based off of Japanese games, so your image is fucking stupid.

Its not generic, but its by no means original. I never even said Gears was generic, I just listed games that were made before it and play like it.

Now since you're so fucking anal about me comparing Vanquish to Gears, lets go.

Vanquish is fast, Gears is not.
Vanquish is stylish, Gears is not.

Now stylish is just taste talking, but if Gears wasn't slow as a sloth, it'd be a better game. If Gears wasn't extremely HURR WHERES MAH WIFE, LOOK AT MAH MUSCLES, it'd be better.

Its not even that the game is bad, its just not as fucking spectacular as you think. But again, thats opinion, I'm speaking out of line.
