>It's somewhat apparent that God Hand was meant to be a joke on many levels, much as a film director might intentionally make a B-movie. The game practically encourages button mashing, enemies are extremely generic, the level layout is very uninspired, the dialog and jokes are poorly written and delivered, and most of all, much of the control and gameplay mechanics are so old-school it hurts. While Clover took a huge risk in hoping that this sort of off-kilter design would appeal to some gamers, and there will probably be a few folks out there who will dig this extremely niche design, by and large the joke simply falls flat. Dead flat.
>button mashing your way through God Hand Good luck with that. Whoever it was clearly didn't finish it even on Easy.
Andrew Moore
No. Nobody make intentional shit games (maybe No More Heroes, but it's pretty fun), much less the guy that make RE4 and Vanquish And the games are less button mashing than Western hack and slash, with a large focus on twitch reflect seen in fighter and beat 'em up Really who the fuck writes that greentext?
Andrew Barnes
i think OP's greentext is from the infamous IGN review, isn't it?
Isaiah Sullivan
It's from the 3.0 IGN review.
Josiah Thompson
Nah, he's bald and in denial. Can't trust his opinion for shit.
>IGN reviews Can anyone link me a moment when IGN is good?
Andrew Anderson
Probably not but this is probably their most infamous review and they went damage control and later included God Hand in their top 100 PS2 games.
Jeremiah Richardson
Tips for playing the game on hard?
John Morales
Is God Hand just a Sup Forums meme?
Never played it and it looks like ass.
Jacob Evans
punch punch quard breaker up dodge
Easton Reed
It's a ps2 game, of course it wouldn't look in after 10 years.
Tyler Reed
Learn how to crowd control with juggles and shit. Also learn how to up-dodge properly.
Connor Gomez
>being this new It's a PS2 game, of course the graphic is dated. The combat's still top tier though
Jace Rivera
Who the fuck would buy the game on the right? What a fucking embarassement it would be to have that abomination on your collection, jesus christ
Chase Price
I don't know if it's staffed by the same people, but IGN has a guide site ala-Gamefaqs, but with pictures and maps and shit. It's really nice.
Jaxon Watson
>The game practically encourages button mashing
I can't take his opinion seriously.
Brody Wright
I'm doing my first play through and I'm on stage 5. The game is some of the most fun I've ever had and the way it handles difficulty is great too, wish more games would use this.
Can people share their favorite move set ups? I haven't really experimented all that much.
Joshua Parker
okami looks way better than that turd and it was made before it, by the same company no excuse
Juan Ward
>Was he right? Yes
Lincoln Watson
>stylized graphics age better No shit.
Cameron Hill
Okami looks good because of its art direction. Most of the graphics are art and are less affected by technology God Hand has a more realistic style, so it's pretty dated

Funny because everyone I showed that game got immediately hooked on it. The difficulty is high but that's what makes it fun, pendejo.
Elijah Sanders
Will we ever see her again?
Kevin White
Yea but it was fun gameonly beat it on easy tho
Noah King
It has good character design though. Great infact.
It was made on a tiny budget, is the issue. The game has the same character designer/modeler as RE4 and REmake.
Anthony Clark
>Azel didn't do this Is he gay? Fucker refuse Shannon too
Justin Watson
Man as a collectorfag if only that game had a not so fucking terrible cover art i might have gotten it sooner.
Some day tho, some day
Samuel Green
News flash big buy, you can wax on wax off all you want but I'm still kicking your ass.
Carson Young
Would you have preferred they kept Gene's original Roy Batty look?
Jaxson Thompson
Why is the enemy banter so top-tier? >My style is impetuous >You are not Alexander >You call yourself a man? >Kickin' yo ass
Juan Richardson
...
Josiah Jenkins
HOW IS IT SO GODDAMN FUN
Andrew Lee
>tfw filling my Squares with punch rushes and then unleash God Hand It's not optimal but fuck if it's not fun
Wyatt Watson
Fuck that guy.
Isaiah Clark
When my friend first showed it to me I laughed and told him it was trash.
It's one of those action games you have to actually spend some time woth for it to click, but once it does, you're having the time of your life.
Also, the game's graphics were dated at release, although the number of mocap moves is still impressive.
