Beat em ups suck.

>>6635651
You suck at beat em ups

Starts off tough, becomes fun, relaxing and almost kinetically enjoyable

>>6635664
good gameplay
good aesthetics
top choice m8

>>6635654
Not quite, I just don't like the concept of moving forward a bit, stopping in an area to just punch a group of dudes until they're all dead, and repeat ad nauseum. Very tedious game design.

This has got to be the dumbest criticism Ive ever heard of any genre. Youre complaining that games about brawling focus on brawling instead of letting you skip all fights as you please and go to the town to talk with gay elf?

Chadillacs and Chadisaurs

>>6635635
Mega Drive Streets of Rage and Shinobi series, all 6 games.
It's pure comfort food, when i'm front of the computer working or studying and want to unwind i open retroarch and start one of them, instantly warm and fuzzy feelings.

>>6635694
>move forward
>stop in an area
>punch spam
you're gonna die in stage 1 if you do that, no wonder you suck

>>6635862
Name 1 beat em up where you aren't forced to stop to fend off groups of enemies before you can move forward again. This type of non-seamless game design is shit.

>>6635881
go back to speedtranning your babby platformers then, bmups obviously aren't for you

>>6635881
>Name 1 beat em up where you aren't forced to stop to fend off groups of enemies before you can move forward again
Clearing areas before moving to the next is standard in video games that don't auto-scroll and aren't "'open world sandboxes''.
That in itself isn't a criticism. Got anything meaningful to say?

>>6635881
Fighting enemies is the point of the genre, why the fuck would you care about the "seamless" camera scrolling? This is like complaining that you have to jump when you see pits in platformers, and that you just want to hold right and fall asleep instead

>>6635904
>Clearing areas before moving to the next is standard in video games
Uh, no it's not? Platformers and run 'n guns let you scroll the screen until the end of the stage, racing games let you play to the finish line, etc etc. It's not just autoscroll games and sandbox games. Belt scrollers are very restrictive on your freedoms, you have no choice but to just sit on a screen and fight enemies. Do you think in an irl fight you wouldn't be able to continue running on past a group of thugs, some imaginary camera forcing you to kill them all before you can leave that specific area? Of course not. Its stupid.

>>6635939
What happens in real life is frankly irrelevant since irl nothing in any of those genres makes sense besides racing perhaps. So you just want to run away from enemies, is that it? That's fucking retarded. Run n guns lock you in screens all the time too especially when they want to challenge you with set pieces and boss fights. And that's not an issue at all, it would be an issue if you could not dictate the pace of the FIGHTS but you can to a great extent, so if you wanna proceed quicker then play more risky.

>>6635694
so this is how double digit iq looks like

>you have no choice but to just sit on a screen and fight enemies.
That's the point of the genre, brawling. And that's part of the challenge, you can't just skip entire sections for free.
Even if you run another screen over, what do you think you'll be doing? brawling.

> Platformers and run 'n guns let you scroll the screen until the end of the stage
So? if you don't like jumping over shit you won't like platforming, if you don't like running and shooting you won't like run n guns. You aren't saying anything meaningful by saying your ''movement freedom is limited''.

>racing games
limit your movement a lot lol, and punish you going off track, that's part of their challenge

>>6635651
get gud, nigger

>>6635635
Mega man 1-3 are all highly replayable due to robot master order and the generally high difficulty

>>6635939
>Do you think in an irl fight
No I don't, which is fine because IT'S A FUCKING VIDEO GAME

>>6635635
Another World
Contra Hard Corps
Shatterhand

>>6635635
Beat em ups are boring as fuck. Because I get bored of losing no matter how hard I try :((((((

so I'm picking a game easy enough for me to win at

>>6635635
>Final Fight

I dunno why but I feel the same as OP. It's just something about that game (and belt-scrollers in general) that never gets old.

Also like:
>Punisher (Arcade)
>River City Ransom
>Splatterhouse
>Streets of Rage 2

>>6635635
>No jrpgs.
Glad that you asked!
The appeal of most SaGa games is picking different sets of partners or following the story of different characters at a time. Frontier is my favorite because, although unfinished, the world and stories bond seamessly and you can go straight to the point or find additional content, like magic schools or finding known faces in the Regions.
Another JRPGs I enjoy replaying are Final Fantasy I because of party building.

>>6637484
>and the generally high difficulty
All the mega man games are easy though.

>>6637578
>Shatterhand
My nigga.

>>6635694
You make anything sound boring being reductive like this.
>dude all you do is hit buttons
>>6635881
>non-seamless game design
The fuck, is this the new pseud way of complaining that something is "too video game-y"? You're in the wrong board, man.

>>6637724
>Streets of Rage 2
Solid choice. I like

>star-craft
>Bushido Blade 2
>Vigilante 8
>super fucking metroid
Advance wars 1-2

Even posting it now makes me want to play it again.

Didn't mean to link that.

Super Metroid.

Vectorman and Super Fantasy Zone for the Genesis/Mega-Drive

>>6638415
Streets Of Rage too, never really cared for the sequels honestly

Ps1 doom. Always go back to it. Ive got a sizeable collection, so if I cant quite pick what to play, doom it is.

>>6635635
Herzog Zwei

>>6638546
Is that the one where the plane transforms into a robot?

>>6635635
Day of Defeat and Firearms

>>6637578
>Another World
That's actually a game that becomes good when you know exactly what to do.

>Final Fight
So what's the deal with this guy?

>>6638980
Is that shirt removable? Can I buy it? Also that's not a real transwoman. They only say that because they didn't want to upset the libtards who complain about violence against women.

>>6635719
Comic book game?

>>6635664
Very girly games for me.
