Berserk & the Band of the Hawk

store.steampowered.com/app/502280/

So this is coming out on the 28th, i can't fucking believe i overlooked it. Randomly stumbled over it while browsing the upcoming titles on steam.

How come no one is talking about it?

>tfw i can finally play as Skull Knight

i just pray we wont get the fucking shitty PS Vita port, like they did with Pirate Warriors.

Its a terrible game

>not just waiting for the inevitable sequel
>not just waiting for DW9

I hear no one talks about it because it's terrible, even for a Musou game.
>playable Skull Knight
Since when? Is he a bonus character in the localized version?

Because it's garbage like most musous based on a IP

>Because it's garbage like all musous
Fixed that for you

>120min of anime footage
Wow so they will recycle footage from all three movies?

>garbage

i liked the Pirate Warriors game though. despite the shitty graphics taken from the vita.

I think i'll get it, despite the bad rumors surrounding it. Why do you guys say it's bad? I'm not contesting it, i just did not inform myself about the title.

no one is talking about it because it is a garbage musou. I say this as someone who tolerates musou clones and wanted a good modern Berserk game.

>tfw hype is dead now

im really out on the loop with this one, why the hate? what did the game do?

>tfw i can finally play as Skull Knight
No you cant.

Damn, I love Berserk but was on the fence about getting this game. This thread makes me want to pass on it.

Because it looks like shit. This is coming from a huge Berserk fan. Almost everything Berserk related that isn't the manga is shit.

Berserk is suffering

Yeah Im pretty hyped. Anything Berserk is always cool. Been on a Warriors kick lately. Picked up Pirate Warriors 3 a few weeks back and really enjoyed it even though I have no fucking clue about anything in that universe.

well, so far only people saying "lel its shit xD"

i will listen to you niggers when you actually post some proof. from what i gathered, so far, the only negative for me is that the game will have about 13 (?) playable characters. sorry user, didn't see skull knight in the playable characters list

It's barebone as fuck.
Storymode is nice but unlimited Eclipse mode gets old pretty fast. Having to finish 100 floors with every playable characters (7 I think) to be able to play as unlimited Femto is just too much of a hassle.

I finished it and there's really no point in going back. Even AoT had better replayability.

It's shit andI like Muso games.

It's Ken 1 and Arslan tier shit.

If you buy this shit for more than 20USD you are a full blown retard.

>game does not stay 100% true to the source so it's shit for me

that's not a good way to think. i think you guys are being way too hard on the game

besides, whatever, you can always try it and refund it after 2 hours, if you really dont like it. thats what i'll do

There's only nine playable characters

Guts
Griffith
Casca
Judeau
Zodd
Serpico
Schierke
Zodd
Wyald

Guts/Griffith's movesets change slightly based on the costume they're wearing

>13 playable characters

8*

Technically 10 since Berserker Armor and Femto are super forms with different movesets.

But the game has been out in Japan for months now. It's a super barebones musou with a tiny cast that doesn't do anything particularly special or noteworthy. If you're a huge berserkfag and like musous you'll probably have fun, but I'd suggest waiting for a price drop.

Is Dark Souls the closest we can get to a decent Berserk experience? Though even then we can never get the feeling of mowing down hordes with a thick slab of iron.

Fucking shit, this game was supposed to be perfect.

When did listening to 4chin pay off? Just don't buy the game on release and watch some youtube videos on it. At least in 2017. it's easy to research games before buying them, unless you're a preorder-cuck.

You forgot Zodd and Wyald Apostle form

no doubt there will be a ton of dlc, since it's a koei

okay well, yeah, i might be a bit more moderatly optimistic about it.

for me, Musou games were always about the characters, mode and replayability. as much as i want a Berserk game on the PC, if it's as barebones as you say i might have to pass on it ( or at least play it for 1hour 50 minutes)

No it isn't. The older Berserk game is the closest.

Some playable stages and costumes

its a garbage musou

ffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkk

why didn't they add more fucking characters? i dont fucking care much about extra modes and shit, i just wanted to PLAY THE FUCKING SKULL KNIGHT FUCK HOW HARD IS IT KOEI FUCK

Dragon dogma is basically Berserk with a dragon instead of a demon hawk, even one of the preset character is a tall, eye-scarred, black spiky haired, Claymore weilding giant

I'm not being too hard on it, I just want a good Berserk game. But when the game is a musou with 8 playable characters and no fucking dismemberment its gonna be a shit game.

>all those fucking Guts pawns

i kinda agree with you

shit, this was my last hope of ever playing a good Berserk game.

JUST

Finally people admit it.
People were fagging it up over this game for way too long.
Berserk died after Rickett escaped from Falconia.

...

I got excited when I heard about it last summer, then as soon as I saw gameplay I realised how utterly shit this game is

why does it have to be yet another shitty licensed Musou product

especially fucking Berserk, this game had mad potential to satisfy fans and now it will only sell to those stupid enough to waste their money

Berserk died after the Golden Age arc ended, everything after it is just edgy shit with lolis. Berserk is just western looking Sup Forumsnime.

im a huge berserk fan and im not touching this.
it looks like shit and looks like every other Musou game ever created

kek

Here's a better one.

so how would your dream Berserk game be anons?

post your ideas, maybe some faggot dev will see them and implement them

>Dark Souls
Its been a while since I've read the manga, but doesn't Guts basically kills hordes and hordes of fucking people and demons in a ton on instances. It seems like a Musou game is a better fit than Dark Souls emphasis on 1v1 combat.

I'm just going to wait for the inevitable Berserk mod for this when it finally comes out for real

youtube.com/watch?v=0wijL0MNazs

>Lost Children and Conviction arc
>bad

Because it's been out for a while in Japan.
And it turned out it wasn't one of the better Musuo games.

so is the main complaint about this that there's no dismemberment? cause I'm pretty sure that is just censored in the Jap version and we get full dismemberment

So did you read the thread?

AOT is actually one of the more enjoyable musou I played.

This one is more like Samurai Warriors-II and Arslan.

It's bizarre how something that's so different to Musou works so well, even when made by the Musou team themselves.

Does that mean the very concept of Musou is a broken shitshow? But that can't be. Being a singular badass and mowing down the thousands of enemies in front of you is a great concept.

Story mode is alright in Berserk, but it's all there is to it.

Guess Hyrule Warriors won't be getting dethroned as the best offshoot Musou game any time soon.

It screams of "I'll get it for a fiver in the sale" 2bh

has anyone played it first hand? I enjoyed Hyrule Warriors more than I thought I would as my first Musou, and I have no idea where that would be placed in terms of ranking Musou's quality, so I have a slither of hope that I might still enjoy this even if it's not meant to be great

>Enjoy killing the titans at full speed
>Get into Real Hell mode or whatver is called
>Turns into the anime where titants are a fucking threat
I had fun but holy shit didn't expect to thing go that hard, fucking running out of stuff pretty quickly.

Hyrule warriors is pretty close to the top
This one's pretty close to the bottom.

the exception here being pirate warriors

and i don't even like one piece or anime in general

>How come no one is talking about it?

Is this different from any other Musou?

I've heard it's awful but I want to buy it anyway, I like reviewing shit games.

Musou is a shit genre, closely followed by mobas.

I hate how tanky the titans get in hard mode because then, only Levi, Mikasa, and Sasha to an extent are usable when you're trying to get an S rank.

heard it was really fucking barebones for a musou and the character roster was super small and their movesets were just literally rip offs of their other musou titles movesets. which is fucking retarded since the character roster is so small

>being this autistic
>mainstream genre
>anything similar to a niche type of game

>nothing in posts claims they are similar
>implying mainstream or niche genres can't be shit
>implying musous are not mindless shit

no denuvo so free game, musou is shit but free will do

Just like in the real show

Musou.

Japanese release bummed everyone

Its a mediocre game but there is some fun to be had.
Its a "support this so maybe we get more berserk games and they can give it a another go at it" episode.

>How come no one is talking about it?
Because it's just another Musou game. Once you've played one Musou game, you've played em all.

Well it's a Musou, but even then I would have been hyped for it. However, it's a Musou with no multiplayer. For me there's nothing to be hype about now.

Dark Souls captures the aesthetic and tone of berserk almost perfectly. The combat not so much but at least it requires thought, Guts combat prowess is as much brute strength as it is strategy.

8 playable characters
Breezes past anything not related to Golden Age and rushes to the boat.
Every map is exactly the same objectivewise (kill some captains, bases and get to the boss), besides an handful of gimmick boring escort missions.
Recycles a lot of cutscenes from the movies.
Every boss boils down to keep hammering on it until it dies with no strategy or skill involved.
I'm a gigantic fanboy for Berserk and i regret importing this piece of crap.

That's the sole regard in which it's better but even then he doesn't regularly tear through hundreds of people. Most of the more serious fights are also just him fighting a few people at most.

Even with everything said in this thread, I'd still play the game if it were say, 20 bucks
But 60 dollars, there's just no way to justify that pricetag

>$60 for a Destiny Warriors reskin

Every single one of these musou games should be $30 at most because they are all exactly the same.

That name will never not be retarded

>Sup Forums hates Berserk now

So this place is Reddit now right?

Is being retarded and unable to read a lifestyle choice for you?

>you are not allowed to hate Berserk even if it is shitty musou
Okay my dudeman

Reddit it is then.

Berserk is amazing but the game is trash desu

They are not bad, they are terrible

You'd think that a manga with an almost 30 year history and countless acclaim it would get better treatment than this.

>it because it's terrible,
source? which youtuber?

>expecting a cinematic experience with brand new story and emotional cut scene in a Dynasty Warrior game

Watch literally any gameplay video. its a musou with 8 fucking characters and a berserk game with no dismemberment

guess ill be torrenting it

Dragon Quest Heroes is much better

I've tried it but I'm not a huge musou fan. the only one i really had fun playing was one of the gundam ones

Mod a PS3 youtube.com/watch?v=FeRObKqA8TE

There is dismemberment. It's not very pronounced because it's hidden behind all the flashy effects on-screen and corpses only take a second or two to disappear, but it is there.

>lost children act
>"muh dead children" the arc
Literally one of the more boring chapters, I'll take troll killing over it any day.

Why do people like Musou shit? When are we getting a Berserk game with Ninja Gaiden-esque gameplay? Or any action gameplay that isn't musou really. ;_;

Holy shit, i guess there is
