Yeah I was excited to play it!

Thanks for the support as always Jon! This one is far from the heights of Ninja Gaiden unfortunately. If the voice acting was meant to be satire then they did a very poor job with it 😅 Couldn’t believe this game was priced at £50!

I'll admit it theres some guilty pleasure fun to be had but i just can't in good conscious fork over $60 i'll just have to wait until it drops in a future at least 12 bucks or PSplus Extra/Gamepass to give it a go, platinum/100 percent the game and thats it.

Yeah it’s really not worth it’s full launch price. Thanks so much mate, also I’ve started getting the Syphon Filter games for the future video from your recommendation! 👍

@DonCritic thank you! :) I can't wait I know it'll be an awesome retrospective of an awesome series. I have some of the fondest memories from those games.

@DonCritic I was speed running and no hit running syphon filter 2 before I knew that was a thing haha. I got that game after moving from my hometown. Kept me busy on lonely nights

Best idea David! Furi is a brilliant game

Love your comments mate! So much fun to read. I wish your friend the very best of luck with his application! Yeah I don’t know why the anime cutscenes didn’t get more coverage in the trailers, but there’s not a lot of them in the game.

3:58 - The youtuber here only shows the first area of the game where you have no upgrades. The game forces you to upgrade skills and think outside the box of how to deal with enemies other than just shooting or the basic katana slashing pre upgrading. You unlock all sorts of nifty skills to deal with them. Grenades and grenade launchers are good for crowd control and there are also enviromentals you can use against enemies. You will also get skills where the damage amount you do on an enemy becomes much less of a strain as long as you cut off a limb this makes it so you can kill them instantly with an execution. Your health like in Bloodborne has a certain timer that you can convert back with katana damage as well which is coloured in dark red in the health gauge and you get your four health kits back with each checkpoint. The enemies also die faster with the katana because of the skills you unlock. There are indicators. The red blink has a noise indicator accompanied with it like a charging shing soundeffect. Or your teammates shouting "Grenade!" If you increase your sensitivity it's quite easy to see it coming and stay on track. You just have to keep your guard up. Which I think is the point of not having lock on. You get around this by looking around you while executing to see where enemies are. 4:08 - He shows the first area of the game where you don't have the skills to block these rushes yet from the ninja. 6:10 - I am not sure if he's trying to counter the red blink. Like the blunderbuss shot in Bloodborne. But since the subject here was about not having ammunition he could use those grenades he has there. Just chuck them at the balconey. You run out of ammo fast if you play the game like a shooter but if fiddle with the katana more which you have to so you get health back then you pick up ammo pretty easily. 6:25 - He complains about the chainsaw but when you go up the stairs there is a ninja that appears. Same as the one he showed earlier at 4:08 where he said he couldn't block against the sword slashes due to it being the start of the game. So imagine you do exactly as he said and die at that part but you know about the chainsaw and that it 1 hit kills enemies, slowly. So perhaps it's not best to use against a large crowd because you'll get pummeled by bullets. But it works great on a single target. Like the ninja that drops out the window after those steps that gave him a hard time earlier. I think it's supposed to be dull because it's an easy way of killing enemies and they are discouraging you from using it. Stuff like that makes the game fun. It's very oldschool in that sense, jank included haha. Personally I love the game. This is the type I grew with on my time on the PS1 / PS2. But to each their own!

@Redux Friend many of your points are not accurate. You say there are Grenade indicators, I wasn’t talking about Grenade indicators, I was talking about enemies cheaply hitting you from off-screen multiple times as is evident in the video, the game doesn’t do anything to counter this like bringing the camera out in battle, adding a lock on feature or simply an indicator to an enemy is going to attack you. The game should not be making you face enemies early on that you need later upgrades to have a chance to defeat them. “You run out of ammo fast if you play the game like a shooter”, but that’s exactly what this game advertises itself as and even has the mechanics built for, third person cover shooting. “Just chuck them at the balcony”, if you’ve played that segment you’d know one of the enemies on that balcony has a grenade launcher, and for me to be close enough for my grenade arc to land on that balcony, he would hit me with his grenade launcher and I’d be dead…The Chainsaw is flawed even against melee enemies, again as evidently seen within the video. Stuff like this doesn’t make the game fun for everyone. There’s plenty of PS2/PS3 games out there which handled this stuff much better.

Certainly, feels purposefully difficult just to cause conversation rather than making the challenge fun

By only a fraction unfortunately. A lot of what Devil’s Third got criticism for, still applies here to Wanted Dead

I completely agree 😄
