Broken Edge VR turns people into Anime Characters

Broken Edge is a good VR game, but the graphics are like living in an Anime in VR. And I aint no weeb. The PVP sword fighting gameplay is fantastic, best in VR, but the people who play Broken Edge might as well be 6th century samurai.

as someone whos does game development, a small piece of me dies inside every time a tutorial gets skipped

[@FUnzzies1]

The problem is tutorials are boring and more often than not a crutch for poor game design. Games should first be intuitive or teach you the gameplay in a diegetic manner.

[@lavuy6744]

​@@FUnzzies1true but for some games especially mainly multiplayer ones it's easier to give u a quick tutorial on the mechanics and then just throw u into match making

[@no3ironman11100]

@@FUnzzies1 Then every game ends up basically the same because of how limited the genre possibilities become.

[@ULTRAOutdoorsman]

@@no3ironman11100Exactly. If we want every fucking game to be 3H and Blade & Sorcery then obviously we don't need a tutorial. But we don't want that, the end.

[@saveforth]

Epic, you can also do poses once a game, these poses can restore your blade back to full, give you a shield so awakened blades don’t kill you, and increase your damage to their blade. Also you can overdrive your awakened blade by doing certain things, like for the duelist where you point your blade at them, you also need to move your blade left right up and down to overdrive it.

[@arathain2]

I have not played the game, but my brain conveniently translated this for me. For anyone else, what they said was "videogames videogames videogames. Videogames videogames."

[@hemmydall]

I didn't realize that at first; the basic dojo doesn't cover all the abilities. Did it out of habit (a high guard stance variation) and got the boost in the first pvp match I had lol. Went back to the dojo and did some more learning after that. Such a smart way to incentivize players to have movements that make sense.

[@adt4864]

Woahhhhh. This game literally lets you activate your second healthbar that's sick

[@AmbienNocturan]

Watched the stream. It was two hours of habie complaining that he didn't know why he was losing (he didn't understand the mechanics) while refusing to do the tutorial. Truly one of the streams of all time

[@mateuszfelisiak480]

Tbh this game's tutorial is lowkey shit and doesnt explain anything really well

[@RoosterW]

For anyone considering this game, seriously check it out. It's super cool. The main goal is actually to hit the enemy's blade as close to the hilt as possible with as little of your blade as possible like Habie originally thought, awakening is just a side thing that forces you to follow specific patterns in a pretty neat way, so just pointing your sword at the enemy while making wild movements is not the optimal playstyle. Also makes it where each character in the game is like a different hero to play in a normal keyboard game, because they each have specific playstyles and patterns associated with them. Also, when your healthbar is completely gone (meaning your blade can't regenerate) and your blade has gotten really small, it'll have a flame effect on it (slightly visible in some parts of the video, but it's much more obvious in game) that means when you next parry the enemy your blade will fully regenerate. Not your healthbar though, since that only regens between rounds.

[@hemmydall]

Yeah a couple matches as the Duelist I could lunge in and land an awakened strike without worrying about their blade, but getting better exchanges is more often the winning strategy.

[@mateuszfelisiak480]

which is nothing resembling real sword fight in the slightest... where the point is to avoid opponent's blade when you attack and blades clash only when the fighter is defending.

[@RoosterW]

@@mateuszfelisiak480 that is to be expected, being realistic is not part of the game's goal by any means. after all, a key feature of the game is needing to make flashy motions that you'd see in stuff like anime in order to gain extra damage. however, fighting to avoid the opponent's sword is still a completely valid playstyle to a degree, just very not recommended compared to breaking their blade first since it's of course a lot easier for people to parry in this game than it is in real life, and going for an attack around their blade leaves you extremely open to a massive counter attack unless you play it really well since they don't actually have to block or push away your blade to avoid your attack, they just have to make contact with your blade. but, still a valid playstyle nonetheless if that's the way you swing, just needs some extra skill.

[@hi-its-matt]

so if you're skillful enough to parry with a broken tiny sword then your sword will come back? actually a pretty neat mechanic. rewards skillful play

[@hemmydall]

@@hi-its-matt I've seen people refer to it as a riposte. You get one and then its on a cooldown, so your entire weapon can be broken and you have to sit there waiting to be finished.

[@sealogic4552]

Part of the fun of games like Gorn and Blade & Sorcery is that everyone is a dipshit and you can just fuck around on them. Being trapped in VR with another player who’s just as good as you sounds. Uh. Terrifying.

[@MaskedMythos]

"i shall use it on myself" he said calmly

[@retrorebootmusic]

This game and Rumble (a VR fighting game with Earth-bending) together set a great precedent for making VR Fighting Games work well. Forcing players to use physical stances and motions the way they'd use quarter circles and button combos in a fighting game. Character-specific moves actually work in VR with this formula, and Rumble's physics make for a LOT of variety (see the recent video that one guy made about its Emergent Gameplay) and doesnt let players just waggle a sword, like many other games would. Blade and Sorcery has the options that allow for immersive combat but can be totally broken, while these two games force you to play immersively, and its great. Cant wait to see what other games pop up to expand on these concepts

[@sgt_samples]
