Actually I've been watching and the show is decent. The critics seem to have came in blind either expecting crime fighting super powers and sex like LC, DD, and JJ or they came in thinking "martial arts superhero trained by monks= asian guy". It was trending this morning on twitter that the critic reviews of Iron Fist were Godhand levels of fucking stupid. The Colleen fights are the only real complaint I got personally. Seemed like the ciritics were all parroting each other and folks were adopting whatever they were told before launch. I'm about halfway and they're doing a decent job of showing Danny as a guy out of place in Kun Lun for being a white rich outsider who comes back and finds himself so changed that he is out of place back in the world he left. They got his awkwardness pretty down. He's out of place in both worlds and thats the entirety of Danny.
Watch it and make your own opinions is my advice and the same advice most folks are giving right now. The reviews are straight Godhand tier screwed up. Its not "oh the bad, oh the suck" like the dudes competing to be the most condescending elite netflix connoisseur are making it out to be. Its pretty good. Its just not a nonstop action piece like sooooo many of those low reviews complained it wasn't. It actually develops a realistic reaction of this awkward dude coming back after 15 years saying he was raised by warrior monks and is the heir to a billionaire's fortune with controlling stock in the company.
TLDR: Make your own opinion. The reviews are so wrong and filled with asshats with no idea what Iron Fist's origin and story are that its been trending twitter off and on all day. Too many dudes thinking the show was gonna be something the character's origin story would never fit venting about it online doesn't make this show suddenly bad.
Just like Fighting Games, try them out for yourself before making an opinion. Don't listen to parrots.

Cape for shitty controls and camera in a beatemup, brehs
who should i trust
The close up RE style camera is what makes the action feel so good and why it has one of the best dodge systems in any action game.
Nothing wrong with the controls either.

Like I said...games, shows, movies...it doesn't matter. Experience them for yourselves and make your own opinions. In some cases its just different strokes for different folks. You should check out the Iron Fist thread though. Since it hit theres a ton of folks before me and long after stating that the show is fine and the reviews are fucked. Some folks still stand against, but in the end make your own opinion about things.
Like with fighting games, you don't need a loud public approval to back you first before you're allowed to enjoy something.

To be honest as a comics can I was burned out before the TV shows even started. Haven't watched​ any of them, from either of the big two.

It's not a RE game though. I can understand tank controls in those games because you're supposed to feel like a loser. But in a beatemup? Nah, fuck that. Any game with tank controls can go straight into the bushes.

Sounds like you need more time with the game to learn how the controls work with the combat. Controls fit the combat quite well.

Just because someone doesn't like your favorite games doesn't make them a troll.
But you already claimed to put me on ignore, so continue with your Trump-esque fake news.
I put in a lot of time with the game actually. But thanks for assuming I only played for 10 minutes.
It goes hand in hand with the gameplay.
God Hand's excellent dodge system works precisely because of this camera.
And the action also benefits from this since you see all the moves (which are animated really well) more up close. It's the same reason the reloading animation felt so good in RE4, not only was it well animated but you could see it up close.

I didn't assume you only played 10 minutes. A lot of people just play through the game once or twice on easy or normal, and you can blow through the game without learning the intricacies of the combat. It's you just use the same argument that because the game has tank controls that the game controls bad, or that the camera is bad because it's close. The game is built around the tank controls and the camera. If the camera was zoomed out you could not make calls about counter hits on specific moves or if an attack is high, mid, or low to do the correct dodge (and when to time dodges).

Yes, because tank controls are fucking awful. If the controls are taking away fun from my experience, then why would I bother playing it more than once? Hell, I played it twice because I thought I was too hard on it the first time and I came away even angrier, and part of that anger was at myself for being dumb enough to give it another chance.
No! Get Momodora, it isn't "controversial", you can play it on modern systems, and you'll be playing a good game not something that's remembered for a review!

No, I would just default to my normal beatemup recommendation, Streets of Rage Remake.

Once you get get used to the controls, game controls great so I'd recommend it. Just it doesn't control like most typical action games and you have to adjust to it. It is the most complicated and in-depth brawler game out there. In fact it's my favorite brawler of all time (if only it had coop). Game also has great character designs, some of the best bosses in any action game (especially Devil Hand), and a great sound track...
Also a surprisingly in-depth brawler was Super Double Dragon (i dont know if it got ported or not). Game had blocking, directional inputs, special moves, enemy dizzy states, grabs with ability to change position, and a crazy number of moves at your disposal.

pizzacat has a point. Danny Rand's predecessors to the Iron Fist name were disaffected poor white dudes that fled America and trained with mystical Eastern warriors. Only to become better than any native, defeating the jealous Eastern ex-best warrior.
were his predecessor's danny's parents or relations tho

In the comics previous Iron Fists were not white
well one of them was but he just shot people with guns
It's almost as if Beef has to assert his opinion about Godhand every time it's brought up.
And Godhand reviews weren't too off base either, it's a mid 70 on aggregate review sites. That's about what I would rate it too, probably closer to an 8. It definitely has flaws but it's overall a good action game.
The IGN review for Godhand was definitely off base though. It's essentially meme status now. Anyone who clings on to that review as some sort of validation for Godhand not being good should rightfully be ignored.

If Playstation or Dreamcast emulators had good online play, I'd include more of them.
What are you talking about? Like, half those games use 3D models and/or environments.
He means 3D gameplay, not graphics.
