Message: [QUOTE="hazys, post: 43365, member: 33042"] I think a lot of modern fighting games like SF6, GG Strive, and maybe Tekken 8 are too over-reliant on these "forced reaction" mechanics which basically turn every fight into a game of Simon says. I'm not saying that they don't require skill (I suck at fighters anyway), but it's kind of boring to watch, because it turns every interaction into "guess what this is or I skip neutral and delete 60% of your health." I think DLC characters are by and large bad, mostly because they tend to be deliberately overtuned in order to make people buy them. I also don't think "more" always equals "better" in fighting games. I understand it when it comes to "pure fanservice" games like Smash, though. Speaking of, I think Smash 64 is a better-feeling fighting game than every subsequent Smash, except for Melee. And I'm not even a Melee purist or anything. Moving on from fighting games, I hate parry systems and I'm tired of them. Dodge-rolls, too. Enough with the Souls plagiarism. Not every single action game needs a dodge-and-parry function. Turning action games into, again, games of Simon says is not good. [/QUOTE]
