But now... *sigh* Nen Impact. HxH has never gotten a good game, like... a REALLY good game. It was finally getting one. Arc System Works!? It sounds so promising, the game we needed! But... $60? Terrible single player content? Horribly dated visuals? Completely broken netcode? I didn't even mind the small roster, it's a QUALITY roster at least... but... but!

I just want a win. :(

 

[KaiserMk7]

That's how these things go I suppose.

 

[Azura]

yeah I feel the same the quality of the anime games are lower nowadays

 

[Dr.Kisaragi]

Yeah I see anime games aren't really good lately (I don't about the how's the react on Dragon Ball games) but I guess the last good era of anime games is ps3 era I think.

 

[Netra]

First of all, OH MY GOD MY EYES ARE CRYING RIGHT NOW.
But yeah, it's a game from a licensed franchise, one in ten can be a ok game.

 

[freebie#47]

Simple answer....no -_-

That being said, sometimes there are actually good games to be released. Take Robocop Rouge City. Is it a good game...not entirely, but it is a fun game. I only mentioning it as it is on gamepass, and having a good time. Also Peter Weller reprise his role. That is a miracle.

my biggest issue every time they make a game based on anime it´s a fucking fighting game like why. Like when they recently made Hunter X hunter and it´s a fighting game why not a JRPG that follow the story of the anime or is a spin of story ??

Why must it always be a 60euro fighting game ?? I hate to say it fighting game so damn basic lame sure can be fun to play for 30-60 min then you just get sick of doing the same fights over and over again. Your telling me a short 1 hours story + getting your ass handed to you buy some uber no lifer in multiplayer is worth 60 euro fuck no.

It's the simplest way to sell the product based on attachment to prospective players' favorite characters and the possibility of fights between high-hype characters who only ever interacted in the background lore, if that, in any canon materials. Making a RPG of some sort entails designing many more enemy types than you would encounter in a fighting game, having to come up with more sensible excuses to make the player fight a named ally character, writing and implementing a lot of minor dialogue and a proper story, and creating environments that have geometry and connect to each other in sensible ways rather than existing as functionless background scenery. Low risk, low production costs, pays out regardless as long as it's not unfathomably terrible.

Yeah I can see and understand that but still fighting game so fucking bland and honestly I see my favorite anime get a fighting game I could care less honestly if they don´t wanna put effort in then im not buying.

Honestly fighting games and battle royal and hero shooters are like Tiktok for video games great for people with no attention span and no will for any story what so ever.

Fighting games can work if it's an original IP with its own lore and worldbuilding rather than throwing the most popular faces of an existing IP in a blender and calling it a day, or if it's something like Dragon Ball where the main character lives for the fight and solves all of his conflicts directly with violence anyway and everyone seems to come back to life eventually so a random tournament of the fighters in the cast isn't out of left field. There's so much more to Bleach than just fighting newly revealed enemies afaik.

tbh a bleach action rpg where u play as a new custom shinigami and can rise thru the ranks would be insanely cool

No name reaper with captain level energy, eh?
Would you want this custom MC to have every kind of potential in the Bleach setting at once, too, just like Ichigo?

 

[Lena CE]

I cant speak for everyone but the netcode for HxH is better than people give it credit for imo. I live in the midwest of the USA and have played with a friend from EU as well as SA without any major issues. Could it be better? Absolutely, but most of my matches with randos are also perfectly playable. When it is bad it is definitely bad but I wouldn't say its totally unplayable.

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

I have yet to find a good game based on an anime.

I'm still not over just how horrendous the Soul Eater game on Nintendo DS was (glitchy, too).

The Ninja Storm games and Koei Tecmo's Attack on Titan duology are pretty good imo. I think the biggest issue is that most of the time the games are just decent but rarely ever excellent. One Piece has a lot of solid games like Odyssey, Unlimited World Red, Burning Blood and the musou games but I wouldn't call any of them exemplary or anything.

why the hell not its power fantasy in a videogame lmao dont have to make it realistic especially for something based on pure fiction like this anime

if u enjoy the musou series theres ken's rage 2 that lets u play pretty much the original manga story (with some cuts/edits here and there)

Yeah I see anime games aren't really good lately (I don't about the how's the react on Dragon Ball games) but I guess the last good era of anime games is ps3 era I think.

Well IDK much about "lately" but I rarely ever played decent anime games:

Perhaps the first decent anime game I ever played is this:

Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor - 98-Shiki Kidou Seyo! (J+English Patch) Sega Genesis – RGT Repository

Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor - 98-Shiki Kidou Seyo! (J+English Patch) Sega Genesis. A RPG game released on 1992 by Advance Communication Company, Ma-Ba

retrogametalk.com

Played it way before I knew it has an anime, and after watching its anime I thought "wow they actually really understood the anime" + "there is a good parody stuff going on too". I would say the game is better than anime in my own way but probably it's because I first played the game lol.

And then fast forward decades they finally released an "okay" Ghost in the Shell game:

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (USA) PSP ISO – RGT Repository

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (USA) PSP ISO Game ID: ULES-01408. Languages: English. For Sony PlayStation Portable.

retrogametalk.com

And then this one that IMO only Dragon Ball game I thought "finally a decent DB game":

Save 50% on DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2 on Steam

DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2 builds upon the highly popular DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE with enhanced graphics that will further immerse players into the largest and most detailed Dragon Ball world ever developed.

store.steampowered.com

And another anime game that's in my "top 10 video games of all the time":

Save 85% on Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet on Steam

Experience an original story where you are the protagonist in the world of Gun Gale Online. Create your own avatar and explore devastated lands while experiencing exciting third person shooting in this action RPG.

store.steampowered.com

I watched Sword Art Online but really don't care about the anime but this game is so gooooood even if you don't care about what the anime is.

Other than this I'm really disappointed with this game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/991560/ONE_PUNCH_MAN_A_HERO_NOBODY_KNOWS/

Damn Bandai tend to go cheap and lazy therefore spams bad anime games lol.

I always looked for decent Naruto and One Piece game but it never happened. Whole potential of these animes wasted on rubbish time waster games. Naruto is very fitting for a huge MMO game that could last for decades and people would shower tons of money, same for One Piece but IDK perhaps we should say the company own the right to produce games for these animes makes these IPs wasted a lot therefore Bandai should just GTFO and some other company that can do what Bandai can't should treat anime games properly or something lol.

I was so excited for Bleach: Rebirth of Souls. Bleach really needed a new console game and it LOOKED so promising... It's okay? Very limited lasting appeal, kind of forgettable once you realize how one dimensional the admittedly unique mechanics are.

But now... *sigh* Nen Impact. HxH has never gotten a good game, like... a REALLY good game. It was finally getting one. Arc System Works!? It sounds so promising, the game we needed! But... $60? Terrible single player content? Horribly dated visuals? Completely broken netcode? I didn't even mind the small roster, it's a QUALITY roster at least... but... but!

I just want a win. :(

Kill La Kill IF: "first time?"

I’m sure RoS will be good at least

Megami Tensei was good for the time
Black Rock Shooter: The Game is great
Jojo: Heritage for the Future is a classic fighting game
Magic Knight Rayearth was a system seller for Saturn for a reason
Sailor Moon Another Story is Sailor Moon's Final Fantasy
Meguca Magica Portable
Area 88/UN Squadron is a great SHMUP

They exist, they're rare though

Whats that, an anime game is bad? "Goes back to playing Attack on Titan on Vita".

Who would guess that licensed games are almost universally terrible?

Not all licensed games are bad. Like Toy Story 2.
