it wasnt the battletoads reboot

Activision

Christ why do us TMNT fans get fucked over all the time?

It wasn't Turtles in Time

We'll never get another TMNT Tournament Fighter

Platinum made this to make a quick buck because not enough of you shitters buy their good games

It's basically what Korra and Transformers were

Not a WOW game but still better than most interpretations and is about getting gud and a high score

I don't want to buy a WiiU

Can't you just button mash through most enemies?

I can list a ton of issues and by the time I am done someone will just say TL;DR or autism but for the basic problems
they got the korra and anarchy reigns devs to make it and decided instead of giving us a bayonetta mgr style game they gave us a mad world game
there is no fan service what so ever transformers and korra had a pretty decent amount all this have is a rat king reference.
The ui is fucking atrocious as well as the controls being pretty retarded.
Transformers has twice the content and cost the same amount.
Out of the shadows has more fan service and more content and was 15 dollars, although that game was buggy as fuck and had aun polished combat system

I can go into more detail and say more but this was just off the top of my head

you now remember this game

I don't trust reviewers one bit. But I'm too interested in this because it supposedly only shines in co-op, which is what a Turtles game should be like.

I never played Korra or Transformers but I can't imagine them being that much worse than MGR. I have Korra in my library so I should probably just play that so I can play a decent action game and fap to brown muscle girl.

The new tabletop game looks legitimately good, and the new cartoon and comic are amazing. But yeah, video games have been rough lately.

This game is such a fucking disgrace. In interviews you could tell the devs were so excited and passionate about this game, and wanted to represent every side of the TMNT franchise. There were staff that grew up with the old cartoon, there were staff who got hooked on the original comics, staff that grew up with the cartoon and THEN got hooked on the comics, people who were diehard fans of the movies, they just clearly all loved the shit out of the series.

And then the game comes out and most of the characters not from the new cartoon were cut in favor of like five fucking Rabbids. Ubisoft can go to fucking hell, I hate their goddamn guts. They're even worse than EA when it comes to milking a franchise into oblivion.

Also Mikey microwaves his pizza. That is bullshit.

kind of the opposite of the platinum game it feels like they just wanted to make an 80s turtles game, this game is goofy as fuck and does not fit idw turtles at all

its good nostalgia with friends, easy game tho

>no local 2player
>need XBL/PSN to play it with anyone but yourself
>no one respects beat'em ups anymore so millennials cry about the gameplay length and price tag

nostalgia of what? there is nothing nostalgic about it if it being a tmnt game is what makes it nostalgic you must be desperate

>>no one respects beat'em ups anymore so millennials cry about the gameplay length and price tag

It's not even full priced either.

when you have bayonetta 2 and transformers devastation with more content at the same price its very reasonable to say this game is not worth its price you fucking retard.

How have so many studios manage to ruin such a simple concept?

>Spawn into a freeroam zone and just kill bad guys
>They thought this was okay instead of actual fleshed out levels.

Worst part is t hat it has some decent enough controls for some platforming segments.

Even the fucking Ubisoft 2007 game had platforming to break up the combat action.

Activision: We need a TMNT game, what can you do and for how much?
Platinum: Give us 250.000 and we'll deliver a god tier game
Activision: what can I get for 15k?

Jesus. Say what you will about Mutants in Manhattan, but to see it fare like that in comparison to all those other games is kind of harsh. I find that hard to believe that those other games are regarded better then this game, which is at least solid and consistent.

Is it really to chaotic?

I pity the fool who talks shit about Battle Nexus

I remember liking the 2003 turtles ones. Well at least the first one and its GBA game.

Because no one gives them time or money to actually make a decent game. It's always a rushed cash grab praying on the young and nostalgic

Still have this gem in working condition. In 22 years I've only managed to beat the Shredder twice

The open world looks so fucking bland. It's a shame really, because it would lose NOTHING from being a hallway smash em up instead of this.

In single player it is. The AI is all over the fucking place and just gets in the way while you're trying to do killer moves.

There's like 10 ninjas on screen and you're trying to focus on one, and then suddenly the whole team decides to ignore your AI orders, ignore all the other ninjas and wail on the one ninja you're beating up.

At least I could tell them to fuck off in Out of the Shadows.

I'm not sure how multiplayer is because I pirated it. I don't have any friends on PC to justify buying it and apparently online is dead anyways.

I would have preferred a hallway smash up with a fixed sideway scrolling camera just so that we can get some god damn local co-op

they seem to try to fix whats wrong with the last game and fuck up what made the previous one little gems of goodness.
Out of the shadows had superb fan service mutants in Manhattan has none
out of the shadows have red head bands mim have shitty random costumes
out of the shadows have more enemy variety and they make sense, throwing in rock soldiers by level 2 is stupid in mim
out of the shadows has shitty arkham combat but let you switch easily with the dpad, mim has better combat but its retarded with how switching turtles requires you to hold l2 to do it meaning if you hold it to long you fuck up your combo.
the story in out of the shadows is shit but it flows with the gameplay,, mim has krangs soldiers by the first level.
Out of the shadows most of the weapons and moves are directly from movies and comics, Mim is naruto tier ninjutsu

Mim is the better game but only gameplay wise

I couldn't enjoy the first one. The levels were way too long and there was no 4 player co-op.

I lost interest in the sequel but I heard they fixed that.

>hard mode
>full 4 player team
>escort the gold
>entire team's face when FUCKING MOUSERS

The sad part about Out of the Shadows is that it has a decent enough move list, but the input is all heavily delayed. It's like it's all on a queue list to play a slow ass animation instead of just playing the damn animation as soon as possible.

The counter system is also wonky as fuck and the game demands that you counter constantly. You can't even pull off any of your moves because there's always 1 or 2 fuckers who wants to punch you from the back as soon as you start doing a combo.

why can't my lean green machines catch a break in the vidya world

Nothing truly great since Turtles in Time

Chances are there will be a honest to god new Battletoads before a good Turtles game

Battle Nexus, nigger.

Well naughty dog is free now.

yeah I think a platinum tmnt game has better combat but out of the shadows hit my nostalgia bone hard I wish they both get sequels and fix all their issues both games just need a sequel to work out their retarded decisions

Yes. The game drops like a dozens foot soldiers on you doing shit while you and the three other turtles are also doing shit which makes seeing anything a difficult task. Might as well just spam light attack and wait for the S ratings to roll in.

A few times I just sat back while the AI fought each other and would still get S ratings. The game is a joke.

>only combos to do are light attacks followed by a heavy
>only moves you can unlock are the single button press specials
>in a platinum action game
Out of everything wrong this game does, this is the worst. The game doesn't even feel like it was made by Platinum.

because activison fucked up both out of the shadows and mutants in Manhattan,

mutants in manhattan was rushed out and they wanted it to be a more serious action game but activision convinced them to make a silly game

out of the shadows was never allowed to be patched from being a buggy as fuck mess

>blaming activison
patinum and redfly are also to blame for the stupid decisions they made

>lv 4 auto heal
>40% str
>lv 2 undercover
>lv 2 dodge up

thats with only two charms. fuckin baller

It was made by the anrachy reigns devs with korras combat designer it feels exactly like what that sounds like, which is not a fucking good thing

Explains a lot

youtube.com/watch?v=YceSXH9kRrE

Who made Transformers then? I assumed all these Activision games were made by the same team

Absolutely disgustng.

Hey anarchy reigns was cool apart from the hackjob that was the online part

yeah they are the worst team

transformers was mostly mgr and bayonetta staff they have no teams they just see who is free and make them a team

Fucking title screen for OotS was fantastic nostalgia bomb

I liked it too its just not a tmnt platinum game people wanted, people wanted online play and singleplayer where you can switch turtles like styles in dmc4 with a transformers devistation sized single player
we got mad world meets korra

Man he's always done that, remember when they had Xenomorphs in their pizza from the microwave?

Turtle switching really should have been a priority.

It's dumb that items took priority over Turtles

youtube.com/watch?v=Y-rQQ1uvecg
Game of my childhood desu, fighting the Elite Guards were my favorite ones, also shame that Slasher is only found in this.

youtu.be/Bsegd_vLmUs?t=22s

I remember installing this piece of shit and getting hyped immediately hearing this

its the same guy who did korra which also had 4 unique move sets at least this time they did not do it via r1 and l1

its a shitty game but the fan service is huge

there should be a tmnt game where you focus on each turtle individually. put time travel or something in it. like spiderman shattered dimensions

Yeah I will give them that they referenced every facet of TMNT (something this new game didn't even bother with since it was catering to IDW snobs and kids) but that's not enough to carry a game unfortunately

why was this a digital only title again?

>TMNT with Anarchy Reigns gameplay
>Co op Anarchy Reigns
This is a bad thing?

it barely caters to idw fans it mostly catered to kids the only thing idw about it is the designs, and the story the gameplay feel like they only know about the 80s and nick cartoon

I don't see anything from the Nick cartoon.

idw karai is the hottest karai

TMNT with worse Anarchy Reigns gameplay and Co-Op

was that transformers game any good?

because the game was small as fuck and unlike this game they priced it accordingly, this game should be 30 bucks max also no taunt what the fuck? even out of the shadows had one

The game seems pretty moddable. I wish some sort of community took off to fix it

Movie Karai wasn't too bad.

I mean how goofy it is the idw series is not serious but its not as goofy as this game is

Usagi's in? That's amazing. Is he playable?

because people always said what if tmnt was made by the dmc devs, then platinum, how the fuck is a watered down version of anarchy reigns what anyone wanted.
>I wanted it
your a fag a dmc clone with turtle switching is what people always dreamed of

I don't think so but you should play it, the campaign is a lot of fun

How's the April in the new game?

It's amazing how easy it is to mash light attack and still get an S-Rank in fights.

I honestly wouldn't have an issue with a simple combat system as long as the level design was solid.

Beat'em Ups by nature are repetitive, but they spice up the action by giving you a variety of enemies and level environments constantly. The action is non-stop and the music is fucking pumping.

Platinum's game doesn't even manage to do that. It's all style, no substance.

...

So the main problem with the game isn't the game but the fact that people wanted something it was never going to be?

Alright.

SFM when?

Hard mode some of the more difficult enemies can really swing into you.
But if you get good at the parry system you make the game cake.
Basically if you can dodge at the right time which all attacks are telegraphed, the game is easy mode.

Usually the city levels.
Random missions to beat til the boss comes.
I hate that setup.
At least the last level is more linear and has a Boss Run part.

>was never going to be
Korra
MGR
Transformers
also you missed the biggest problem its anarchy reigns with a working online but shitty ui, shitty gameplay little enemy variety and shitty random events but please tell me how this was a good game cause no one is falling for it

Anybody here that liked Korra but disliked this?

>Korra
>MGR
>Transformers
It was never going to be and never advertised to be any of those games.

Honestly if it was just a pure 1:1 of Anarchy Reigns with TMNT it would have been great, as long it has a huge ass playable character roster. How long has it been since Casey Jones or Rat King were playable?

Nobody wants to accept that Platinum is shit.

Trying to master needlessly complicated controls is not good design - it's artificial difficulty.

What exact point are you even trying to make here?

Those 3 games all showed what Platinum is capable of

What Platinum delivered and its reception isn't because people had some false idea of what game they were going to get. Its reception is that the game is barebones and nowhere near the same level of quality as their other games or even basic shovel ware games.

The opposite for me rather. Not that I dislike Korra, but I far enjoyed this over it, in comparison.

Aside from the stupid turtle switching, the items, and dumb super moves, the controls aren't even an issue.

It's just incredibly shallow. Even more shallow than your common beat em up.

...

That's almost always what the problem is

My point was that it's not so bad. Just that people are let down because they expected more for no reason. I feel once people look back and accept it's not a DMC clone like everyone wants every Platinum game to be they will see it's better then the way they are treating it now.

oh the old "the game was not going to be like that so why are you basing it on that" excuse
because thats what people said they wanted when they first heard the leak, no one wanted anarchy reigns with shittier everything. tell me one good thing this game did

The combat? no its extremely dumbed down
the anarchy reigns style? it uses 3 maps over and over with horrible minigame style events
the fan service? there is none
the content? transformers and bayonetta 2 both released at the same price with double the content if I am being generous to this game.

they made three games using other companies ips and what did they make? bayonetta style games, what about nier 2? looks a lot like bayonetta 2 why was this game different? because anarchy reigns devs worked on it and guess what no one is happy with it.

They could not even let us switch with out holding l2 because we sure do need those items that are completely unrelated to tmnt

>kevin eastman cover collectibles
>no kevin eastman turtle costumes
this game is filled with great ideas that are not used

>I feel once people look back and accept it's not a DMC clone like everyone wants every Platinum game to be they will see it's better then the way they are treating it now.

Not being a 1:1 DMC clone isn't the problem. It's a bore. Final Fight has one button combat and it's still far more entertaining than this.

It's shallow as hell even for a basic brawler.

Platinum Games. You can't blame Activision for the shit decisions the dev team made user.
