You know what I thought was cool but got panned? Double Dragon Neon
Only thing I didn't like was Skullmageddon.

I agree with all of this. SOR4 is a good game, but I don't yet think it's a great one. I don't really get the "THIS IS AWESOME" feel I got when I was playing River City Girls.
Speaking of awesome, Double Dragon Neon certainly was.

Rocked out yesterday on the Ps4 and was digging it. Online co-OP makes the game more fun to play. Axel and Blaze feel just like they did before with a fresh coat of paint.
It would have been nice to let Axel run. I enjoyed doing his grand upper off the run in Sor3 and SorR.
Game is pretty but don't know if I'm feeling the video filters. Maybe once I unlock the retro characters they will mesh in well with the retro filters. So far so good though. The game wasn't a let down.
Like others said with bar being set so high with Sor2 and SorR it was going to be really hard to top those. Only time will tell.
Those Murphy Shock Troopers kept busting me up. What's the best way to break the shields? I found it easier to do with the baton. Any suggestions?

Start a combo with the drop kick (or whatever the holding down jump kick is called) and back off to avoid getting hit. Repeat that until it gets red enough to finish the job without getting hit. I found other ways to do the job with characters that don't have it.
The Eurogamer review was way over the top. I'm getting the same feeling I did with Sonic Mania where if I say anything negative the internet will disown me.

I use Blaze do the flip kick (fwd fwd+punch) to break the shields.
I like this game a lot but time will tell how it ranks in the series. Something feels off when I throw or punch people off a ledge, it doesn't feel as satisfying as before.

Played a few levels. I like the movement and hit detection in then game, the music.
But the graphics I just don't dig at all. It reminds me of something you would play on the gba done by some euro developer
There's a bareness to it, I much prefer pixel art, it makes for a more tangible world, and is much more aligned with movement within the play field.
This is millennial irreverence. Nothing too offensive, just shallow and a bit of a pisstake. It struts with way more confidence than it should.

I never played SoRR, so what some are missing...is lost on me.
For what it is, I’m enjoying SoR4 so far (just beat Diva).
Once I got used to a separate button for pick ups/ hurled weapons, I slipped into a groove.
Not a PGM brawler by any stretch, but hey-I’ll take it.

How drunk are you? Holy shit. You need to control these emotions or you'll end up on skid row faster than you can say, "the coronavirus is a bioterrorist threat by the Liberal Shadow Government and China used to destroy the Trump presidency"
Plenty of people are buying vidya games to pass the time.

Same here, at first I was trying to combo, back away, then move in again, but the shield turns back to blue too fast, spamming jump attacks is the only reliable way to do it in single player. Those are among several enemies that make me think the game was designed for multiplayer first and not really balanced for single player.
Gamepass is the way to go if you have an XB1 or a PC.

Wait, you've never played SOR and the high water mark is IGS games? I guess I respect that you are a fan of those games, but doesn't seem like the bar is set that high to me.

I’ve never played Streets of Rage Remake.
I’ve played the other Streets of Bare Knuckle games.
Some folks that have played *Remake* are saying they miss some things in Remake that didn’t make it to 4.
Aesthetically, the high water mark for me is PGM2 Oriental Legend 2.
I’m enjoying SoR4, even though it isn’t pixel art.

Watching a longplay. It isn't as terrible as I thought it would turn out, but still kinda meh.
There are some neat ideas, like the car ramming into the guys in level one, or having policemen/riot cops be enemies in level 2 (socially relevant in 2020).
But they were able to make an improvement in the series - bouncing enemies off an invisible wall (the edge of the screen). That's one of the most annoying things in the original games, knocking an enemy off-screen and waiting forever for them to come back.
I don't like how drab/dreary the stages look. Music doesn't pump me up.
As an aside, this retarded 'girl power-side of the head shaved off'-look can't go away soon enough.

Yea, after playing through the whole game I noticed a little bit of a sjw theme. More chick enemies. The cool looking biker dudes were replaced with these fat chicks and they have helmets on but aren't riding their bikes like Sor2. Hard ass chick cop with half shaved head turns out to be a good guy. Cops are mostly bad and corrupt. Last two boss are two spoiled white kids.
Thankfully Blaze stayed intact and looks like a hot MILF with her original hair color.
Whatever, beat the game last night. Going to do the arcade run with Adam. Overall I enjoyed the game alot.
Music is good but it's never going to top Sor1 and Sor2 but we are talking about the probably 2 of the best video game soundtracks of all time.
Graphics are good. I dug the look but Pixel Art is preferred. I'm actually going to try and play it with the retro crt filter on this time.
The air catching mechanic is very nice touch. Playing yesterday in 2 players and having my buddy set me up with a enemy in mid air while landing a grand upper and whatever I could catch him with before hitting the floor was very satisfying.
