A tribute to the second oldest anime convention in the U.S.
Hello! In today's video we are here to take a deep dive in Animefest's last year as a big convention. This is a convention that happened in Arlington, Texas on July 25-28th 2024. I went to over 20 events at this convention. I wanted to make sure we give Animefest it's proper send off. So I hope I did the convention justice with this coverage.
This video has become my longest video to date. With that being stated, please let me know if you prefer one long video or to break it down into parts. I went with making it a long video this go around, but I am okay with breaking it up if that is what the people want. I am pretty malleable when it comes to this, but I would love everyone's opinion.
If you see yourself in the video, please leave a comment and we will add it to this description! :D

    I actually cancelled my pre-order of this game, because after seeing the watered down game mechanics (in contrast to their Nioh games), I was pretty disappointed. Nioh 2 was fantastic, and from what I've seen this just seemed like a step backwards, or sideways at the very best. With that said, I'll still give the game a go eventually, maybe on a 50% off sale.

    Yeah, as first, I was super hyped for the release. Then, some people said that the combat is too much Rock/Paper/Scissors and complained about the super armor of enemies. I've decided not to get it. Still, I was interested and saw the game in a store for 40,-€. Haven't bought it that moment, but I gave the demo a chance. And my god, I was just so hooked all the way through and I got back to the shop to buy the game. Rock/Paper/Scissors? I was rarely so engaged with a combat system with all the options I have and how to engage an encounter. Plus, I really like the visuals and never saw a problem with them (that being said, visuals aren't that important to me). So yeah, it's a really fine game and more people should give it a chance. At least by playing the demo, which is fairly meaty and shows what the game has to offer. And bonus points for the char switching mid combat. Normally, I'm not a fan of this and I just wanna play as my char... but the switching opened up more strategic options, so I use the mechanic whenever possible.

    I enjoy creation and gameplay. People say Ghost or Sekiro is better than this Rises. That maybe true, I play alot of Samurai/Ninja Ps2 games, Rise is more free to pick what weapons you want instead of base Katana, and Team Ninja gameplay is very face pace like Ninja Gaiden. I dont think they should keep doing Open World where graphics are toned down but if they do make it Nioh or Wolong version so you can fight demons instead of strong humans.

    • @TheGamingHarbinger
      @TheGamingHarbinger 5 днів тому

      That's actually a very interesting take. I think part of the thing with the graphics is that they are using their own engine (no idea how old it is). It might be time for them to use Unreal. I think if they make another Ronin, the open world aspects will be tweaked. I think for the first time, they did a good job. But its true...its out of their usual wheel house. So they will need to make more in order to get better. I think its very feasable for them to make another Ronin and still make the other games that people expect from them. I really think they will make another Ninja Gaiden. Fighting demons over humans is definitely more badass.

    RotR is a good game, I've played it, beat the main game, beat the "endgame" (such as it is...), finished platinum trophy, achieved 100% completion in all areas of the base game as well as again in the "endgame", maxed out all bonds with all characters, etc, etc. While I thoroughly enjoyed this game, the combat is really enjoyable (once you get the hang of the odd parry timing), the story telling is decent and the visuals are well done BUT this game has one glaring flaw that basically makes it a play once and done: the lack of a New Game+ mode instead having it's replay mechanic implement through it's "testament of the soul" feature and the "endgame" ONLY being playable on a new, much harder difficulty that CANNOT be adjusted. This game was a 5/5 for me UNTIL I beat the base game and discovered what the "endgame" was at which point it became a 2/5 simply because of it's "endgame" or rather lack thereof. Team Ninja made a great game then ruined it's replayability with a lazy, frustrating, immersion killing "endgame" that very much is not the New Game+ experience most modern ARPGs have and the most of the gaming community has come to expect. Team Ninja isn't a bad developer by any means, but they made a horrible decision with the "endgame" for RotR; one which they will hopefully not repeat in future titles. I know my opinion of the "endgame" is highly subjective and completely personal, some will agree with me, others will not and a few will probably think I'm just a whiny idiot, fair enough. But, FOR ME, the handling of the "endgame" ruined this game for me. Up until that point though I truly was loving this game, the combat system is actually fantastic with a large variety of weapons/stances to suit just about any playstyle from tactical wait-and-counter strategies to headlong charging in like a maniac to a stealthy killing of enemies from range/cover or any combination thereof. In summary I found RotR to be a thorough enjoyable BASE game, with good storytelling, good visuals, some interesting mechanics and a great, immensely enjoyable combat system that was tarnished, rather severely in my case, by its lackluster handling of the "endgame" and resultant "meh..." feeling when dealing with it.

Another content creator I watched recently said he decided against playing the end game content because he felt like the value was underwhelming. So you are not alone. The thing is they don't even have to come up with a brand new end game idea...they can follow the blueprint of another successful game. I hope they make some adjustments with the next game, because they hit a homerun in every other section.

Once you complete the base game and unlock/experience the "endgame" I'd be curious as to your thoughts of Team Ninja's handling of said "endgame."

    Yeah i started last week. This game is so much fun. The combat is 10/10 relationship building is 10/10 story is 10/10. So what if the graphics arent top notch, the gameplay is insane. Isn't that whats supposed to matter? While i dont regret getting DD2 when it released, i was on the fence about which to buy and now i can say that RotR is to me a much better game overall. People like to compare it to Ghosts of Tsushima, and while visually stunning GoT falls short when compared with RotR in any other way. Just my personal opinion

      Isn't it weird that if this was a smaller studio, people would be saying graphics are not the most important thing? Its annoying. I don't think its fair to compare Team Ninja's game to a first party title. Team Ninja has been around a while and are not an idie studio. But that doesn't mean you should lump them with companies that have massive budgets. Any ways, I am happy the response this video is getting. I couldn't agree more with your statements. I hope we get a second game in a few years! 😀

    I have not yet played RotR, but I absolutely agree to your take on other "reviewers". Unfortunately, we live in a time, where it seems to be "fashionable" to hate things. And so-called "content creators" simply seem to give games bad reviews in order to generate more clicks. On the other hand, there are sooo many (obviously) payed positive reviews. It's actually crazy. And as a result, I have "employed" a new strategy when picking games I personally want to play: I only look at uncommented gameplay videos and use these alone for my decision.

    • @TheGamingHarbinger
      @TheGamingHarbinger 18 днів тому

      I actually think that is genius and a very reasonable choice. Just checking out a video and see what the first hour is like. You will see if the story starts off interesting, what the gameplay is like, what the graphics are like, etc. There is nothing inherently wrong with sharing your dislike for something when its how you truly feel. But its another thing when you exclusively talking about things you are unhappy about. I couldn't do it. I think I would feel miserable making those kind of videos. Paid reviews aren't very helpful unless you know the youtuber doesn't care if he loses that connection or not. You are almost better off watching the videos where they weren't paid and then go somewhere else for the ones they were being paid.

PLUS, people didn't hate Wo Long at all, although the game was worse than Ronin, you know why? Because it was released for both Ps4 and Ps5 Because for a Team Ninja game, Ronin looks beautiful (Sorry if it sounds like i'm yapping about people's misunderstandings)

But its just not a deal breaker IMO. You should play the sequel to Deadly Premonition on the Switch. It runs at 10-15 fps. 😂 There are games out there where the performance really makes it hard to play through the game. This is not one of them.
