The Ys series is basically that.

Good call. Oath, 6, and Origins specifically. 7, Celceta, and 8 are a little different.

I bet I would like the Ys games a lot but it seems like a real weird series to get started on

I keep buying Ys games because I think I'll love them and now I have most of the "current canon" games without actually playing any.

I like Ys7 and Celceta. I prefer the previous style but they're still fun games. Lean more towards the RPG side of the action-RPG balance. A little too long at, in my experience, nearly three times the length of Oath/7/Origin.
Oath is the best of the franchise, imo, so yeah. The games can be hard, I guess. Once you've played so many of them you're used to the ebb and flow of combat, it's hard to speak on the difficulty for newcomers.

Just to remind myself of old memes I googled "VR face" to see how deep Will Smith was and he was the first thing on google images. Good.
Also Jeff with the oculus imprint was the 3rd image.
If Whiskey Media had that kind of SEO maybe it would have stayed around longer.

Just watching the latest Blue Bombin. Dan says "Merch" way too often!

I got caught with family stuff so I couldn't reply in the thread earlier. The other stuff that sort of fits the bill in the Mana series. There's an early access game called Secret of Grindea that's Mana like on Steam.
Victor Vran and The Adventures of Van Helsing also sort of fit. They still adhere closer to the dibalo end of the spectrum for isometric/top down action RPGs, but they aren't all about the loot.
The two Lara Croft games while not melee game all are sort like that stuff.
There's probably other stuff, but I can't recall it at the moment.

Went and watched John Wick 2 again yesterday, contemplating for a third watch. Such a fun film, it's even better the second time around.
Not my type of game but this looks swell.
It's always cool baby where I'm at.
Unless you care enough to expose and pimp yourself out on various sites, that ain't happening anytime soon.

That sort of what I figured which is why I didnt recommend stuff like SPAZ. Victor Vran if I remember right has direct control when using a game pad like a Zelda does.
I also just remembered Reccetear, Wanderlust, Moon Hunter, and Cross Code fit the mold a bit too. Wanderlust and Moon Hunters are coop focused though.
I should probably some of these game they're all sitting in my library and I've never played any of them. I have a huge problem.
Your best bet for those kind of game is probably looking at older games you can emulate. I've always heard great things about Terranigma.
I bought it after watching the QL. I didn't have much interest in it beforehand. I'm enjoying it a lot. The combat is fun even though I suck at it. I have the same worry though. It seems like one of those games that'll fall off a little fast. Hopefully I'm wrong and it's unique combat will be enough to sustain a player base for awhile.

If it's anything like chivalry's playerbase it'll go for awhile, but I dunno, the game seems a lot less... robust than chivalry.
Not enough screaming for one thing.

I don't think there's much of a parallel there, Chivalry is way different and I assume the player base of For Honor is massive in comparison. The best way I can describe For Honor is Dark Souls PvP with fighting game mechanics. I really liked what I've played of the alpha but for some reason I haven't had the urge to get the game.
I didn't think I'd ever see the Drew gif on my feed because I never post on twitter and only follow 40 people, but it popped up today.
Wait, where's the GB reference?
Isn't that just a can of Surströmming?

Also, if you want people to hate you for your snarky, smarmy looking avatar, wait no longer.
kind of tempted to jump on this tbh
That's good to hear. I feel like once the Switch and Mass Effect are out then are people really going to be playing it?
I know some people that really got into it during the early betas talked about the game actually having some depth, which definitely could lead to some sort of Rainbow Six Siege situation were it gains traction after release. Going to keep an eye out myself.
