If it weren't for this game the franchise would be dead!

To be fair, I highly doubt FNV would've happened without 3. A lot of times you have to get showered in shit before you can see the sunshine.

You're not going to get many serious replies to this thread because the issue you want to discuss is very grey and can go in multiple directions. Try starting a thread that a hivemind can easily follow next time.

There's that word again.

Go make a thread criticizing Holla Forums approved games or notions and see if people won't react with immediate dubsbombing and shitposts. Any place that allows for a group of people to congregate will have set consensus on things.

Is the idea that those games are good, and maybe the criticisms laid against unfair or wrong not even enter your head for a second?
Nevertheless, give me one of those games and I will.

as some people have pointed out sometimes you just have a bad day and shit just goes wrong. but you get right back up and make a decent videogame to make up for it.

or sometimes it just keeps getting worse. and then even worse.

Ask me how I know you're legs are broken.

I was yelling this from the rooftops during awakening. That it would only get worse from here. Unfortunately once a game like this become mainstreamed it gets fucked. Because game creators like money more than staying true to their fan base. But whaddya gonna do, thems the fact of life.

As far as I'm concerned the last FE game was radiant dawn.

That's the whole point of a discussion. To see whether or not the person's claims actually hold up. Of course that can't be done when everyone's kneejerk reaction to an uncommon opinion is to shitpost now is it?

I was being sarcastic, that wouldn't work anyway since someone would just point out the thread's creation stemmed from here and you'd just get painted as disagreeing for the sake of it.

ASUKA A SHIT

REI >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ASUKA

faggot

The thing about Fire Emblem is that the example of Awakening is ridiculous. Not only is it the only Fire Emblem game since FE7 to have any marketing budget, it had the advantage of coming out on a handheld that was totally deficient in having games and the stated sales goal was totally achievable anyway, given the way FE historically performed.

You can't prove that.
Why give up now? You so confidently said that Holla Forums had a hivemind. Surely you can back that up with a little testing, even if it blows up in our faces after 5 minutes.

Of course there's no clear cut way to prove something that comes entirely from experience unless we get data analysts to start running statistics about posts on this place. So why'd you even waste your time pointing out that is redundant, especially when the reverse can be said so as well nullifying your argument as much as you used to against mine.

I just explained why. If your only response a poor attempt at leading questions then I'll stop here.

...

If it weren't for Fallout 3 we would have gotten Van Buren.

Rei fags, everyone

Well then it way as well not be happening.

I'm not the one with the claim. If you say something you've got to back it up. You haven't. How about showing 3 threads with exactly what you're saying?

And I explained that even if it fails and people find out what is happening, everything that happens up until that point is meaningful enough to what we're talking about.

I thought Van Buren got cancelled before 3 even went into development. Or it ran out of funding?

Black Isle was planning to continue development but Bethesda outbid them and made 3. It's a bit of a stretch, I know.

I came here to post this too. While it may be like by many, it marked the death of FE with its bullshit "split 1 game into 3" tactic. The horrible localization that many casuals just shrug off. Phoenix mode inviting the most casuals into the series who will likely scream the loudest when the games are in any way difficult.

Radiant Dawn sold really well too. Awakening was just sold at the perfect moment but the advertisement did help.

Sure, if you don't back it up with good reasoning. If you have good reasoning, you can actually get a good conversation of the pros and cons of the game. All of 8/v/ isn't 4/v/ Dark Souls general. Where actual criticism was waved off with "git gud".

Did you seriously just ask him to prove something that's going on in this very thread?

You mean this faggot?
The one guy out of 20 who dubsposted.
Or these two >>10285425 who were also ignored and the thread went on without a hitch.

I realize that some IP have to die, what I don't understand is why fuckers like EA aren't willing to make more money by getting proper devs to make sequels.

I guess good spiritual sequels like Cave Story and Shovel Knight can't be AAA games and that's the problem.

AAA devs just want to play things safe. That is until one person decides to create a new fad for casuals to swarm to. Then other AAA devs will play it safe by following the fad, instead of taking their own risk and maybe making mad bank. Investors don't want that though.

I'm a misatofag myself, but Gendo is the coolest nigger around. He gets shit done.

Get in the fucking robot

Mega man 10 doesn't fit in there. The level design and controls were still awesome. The only weak points were the music, bosses, and boss weapons.

Even still, there were really good tracks mixed in there. Abandoned Memory is probably my favorite Wily theme in the series, the boss themes were awesome, and the stage select was one of the best in the series.

Whatever the case, it's true that it wasn't as consistently good as MM9.

nigga take your damaged goods and go

...

This guy is going to fall on the sword with miyamoto and sakurai(actually reggie and trinen since that nigga ain't going to japan). He is a literal Nintendrone so of course he's going to support anything they do no matter how good or bad.

funny read though

I'd take some damaged but repairable goods over mass produced made in China quality submissive sluts any day of the week.

(checked)
What a good goy he is!

That would be the entirety of the NGE audience

Isn't no personality better than a bad one?
Misato > Rei >>> Asuka

Wasn't fates sold as 3 separate games?

Please consider Mari

The two routes are sold seperately, the other route and the "true" route sold as DLC.

Not seen the rebuilds, but I'm really not a fan of the things I've glimpsed.

I don't like her character design at all.

Meant for

There's more discussion of eva than what I wanted, but whatever.

for fuck's sake.
nice trips though.

Not if you want an actual relationship, notice the repairable part.

You bailed after 10 posts. What do you expect?

FE had a good run, at least it spiritually lives on as long as Nintendo doesn't sue Kaga again.

Why would I care when the first few replies were offtopic, the first serious one misunderstood what I said, and then the rest of the thread was you and some other fuck arguing alongside typical /a/ shitposting? I've made enough threads to know that everytime it starts like that it's a lost cause.

If you liked the show, you'll probably like the first one, the second branches off from the show and I thought it was pretty alright, the third has a neat opening sequence and then squanders all that momentum and nothing happens for the next 80 minutes.
Only really nice thing I can say about Mari is it's cool for Asuka to have someone who'll actively indulge her competitive side.

Is this guy a professional troll?

asuka best

you've been trained well.

He's actually serious about his allegiance to Nintendo

Where's that one article from way back when where a game journalist literally said that gamers are entitled sacks of shit for voting with their wallet and not buying bad games?

Awakening saved Fire Emblem financially, get over it.

This way you can at least introduce new people to the oldies and the Tellius games

...

Rather they'll say "why can't I fuck my waifu??"

At large? Fuck no.

But you can always make friends over your shared interest in video games, and when you find one of those friends likes Fire Emblem you can hook them up with an emulator

Rei isn't any of those anyway, she's a doll with literally no personality. Her only human quality is her attachment to Gendo.
Submissive to the point being inhuman.

No it didn't. 250k was totally achievable under normal circumstances.

Shadow Dragon had some modest marketing and was for the same market, but it tanked.

FUCKING NORMALFAG ASUKA TARDS GET THE FUCK OFF MY BOARD

Both a shit, Misato a best.

Shadow Dragon was late in the lifespan of a handheld with an incredibly vast library of other games to play. Awakening came out early in the life of the 3DS during one of its many periods of terminal software drought.

Shadow Dragon is a good game with shit art, Awakening is a casual game with generic art "designed for western audiences in mind because people actually bought NMH1 in America since it wasn't censored to death in Japan".

yah no, th reale best girl of eva will still always be fag space jesus

Sometimes dead is better

Asuka is a miracle of the universe

...

...

I agree since tumblr exists.

Asuka's a lot nicer once she's dead.

>>>/a/

Rei 3 is, Rei 2 actually learned a great deal about humanity, emotion, and relationships, which is why she killed her self to save Shinji, her replacement started all over again personality wise

Asuka fags everyone, at least Kawaru was willing to show Shinji compassion when everything was going to shit, Asuka couldn't even manage to think about anyone but herself after kaji died.

...

I thought everyone just used it for porn, music, and "epic memes". How or why did it become cancer? How did it become the breeding grounds for hyper sensitive people?

What is Final Fantasy XIII?

Why is Guac Merchant's brother raping worst girl?

and why is worst girl telling Ronald McDonald to fuck off?

Because dumblr is literally meant for the retarded so it became a breeding ground for those too retarded to walk away from their own computer screens and become autistically offended and triggered about fucking everything. Its appeal was that it was "so easy to use". Keep in mind, they were so retarded they couldn't even use a wordpress or even a cancerous livejournal, the closest thing to them before.

It's more mascot-fu/Stands, for some odd reason

I wonder how people get so entranced with what might as well be animated YA garbage. Hell, I'd argue YA novel authors are better than the average gook if it weren't for the sjw agenda they have.

Araki should take notes

>>>/a/

"Appetite For Destruction" is just asking to be used. And "Eat It".

you're not a fan of suikoden, grandia or resident evil outbreak i see
i'd rather you be dead than not see another suikoden game

Were those games hit with a series of shit games before they died or are you just referring to titles that just died off while they were good and didn't have a chance to go anywhere? I made it clear what I meant in the OP.

they all had great (suikoden 5, outbreak file 2) to mediocre (grandia 3) games before they died, but i'd rather have them alive and shittier than have them dead

...

I think FF would have been fine without 13. Hell it took 3, 2 reusing a ton of assets, to make up for the fuck up that was 13. 13 did more damage than it helped so I don't think that applies.

Figured as much. Goes hand in hand with the internet becoming more and more popular over the 2000s. It wasn't something for "basement dwelling nerds and hackers" anymore and now they're discovering a whole new world. Then they realized that their vagina had no meaning on the internet and they panicked. The nu-males only followed in the hopes for sympathetic pussy.

Na. I'm fine with things dying when they were good. I've been burned to many times. Thinking of it now, when was the last time an old series came back and a good game was made from it? Strider is the only one I can think of at the moment.

Holy fucking shit, this guy is everywhere. I'm still convince he is a troll because NO WAY can someone be that retarded.

Morrowind is what kept Bethesda alive. A two-edged sword really. You get an excellent RPG with amazing lore, but only that game and its predecessors are good, the sequels are progressively worse, shedding all aspects from the original games and slowly becoming FPS games with one or two RPG features.

In a perfect world, Bethesda and Zenimax would have gone bankrupt after the release of Morrowind GOTY Edition. In this ideal world, Todd Howard would not turn into a psychopathic liar, and could still be a decent developer if he even chooses to be.

Shinji on hormones is best girl, what's wrong with you people

Seriously though, Rei is best girl what's wrong with you people

Sad truth an0n.
Better to die while on top than to slowly wither away as parasites suck you dry from within.

Alas, WE GOT TO HAVE MORE MONEY is the cancer of the world.
The stock market and companies being owned by people who have no knowledge or interest in what the company does is the greatest turd created on this planet.

Oh man, poor baby. You only have to deal with one of these. Whatever franchise you're talking about you've got it fucking easy.

With SC they did the second option then wondered why the fucking thing wasn't selling so they CANCELLED THE SERIES FOREVER

11 and anything past 12 is trash though, I'll give you that.

Poe's Law in effect as we speak. Some mentally ill tranny will see that and skitter back to tumblr in order to spread yet another wave of "X character is a tranny"

...

What the hell did Skyrim and Fallout 3 ever do to advance gaming? I'll give radiant AI to Oblivion along with starting this whole DLC cancer

It suddenly made newfags experts on the series.

How are the Splinter Cell games? MGSBabby here that never paid attention to anyone else but anything past the PS2 games were disappointing.

Probably because they got into the series with those games. Like people having RE4 as their first RE game, Nu Tomb Raider being the first one they played, the list goes on and on.

First three range from good to amazing. I've heard some don't like Pandora Tomorrow but I really enjoyed it, especially that train level. Fourth is iffy but I hear the consoles got a better version.
Conviction is fucking vomit and is the worst game of that year. Horrible third person shooter, one of the worst "stealth" games ever made.
I haven't played Blacklist but I assume it's more of Conviction

Comedy gold

So is Evangelion actually worth watching, for someone who hasn't seen the anime?

SC games are top tier, well at least 1 and Chaos Theory. Haven't got round to Pandora Tomorrow yet and I can't emulate Double Agent, which apparently has a very good version only on PS2 and XBOX.

Get Conviction and Blacklist if you want some casual fun, but forget about it for any decent stealth.

Yes.

No, read the manga.

I have to say, whenever I see people discussing the direction Fire Emblem's went in I get the strangest feeling of deja vu.
Fuck anything post Persona 2, waifufaggotry and cliche anime bullshit ruined Persona which in turn made MegaTen somewhat dormant.
Persona 5 will be shit.
Soejima's artstyle only ever worked in Catherine, anything else he's worked on looks like shit

Pandora Tomorrow is a slightly enhanced version of the original Splinter Cell that is ruined by really bad mouse acceleration and low sensitivity. Conviction is the opposite of stealth though I hear that the co-op is fun and Blacklist is more stealth-oriented, but nothing special.

The show is really well paced, has an interesting lore, and great characters. Since it's a weird psychological thriller, people tend to be pretty divided on it. I personally loved it.

It's alright

Meme cartoon for meme people.

Underage faggot leave.

But it won't be a shared interest if there is a clear preference over a different style of fire emblem games and there will always be conflict rendering your argument null unless you have an personal example otherwise
Which will go back to the question of them even bothering wanting to work with emulators if they don't even want to play the old games in the first place?

FE brought in an audience that will only care about waifus or only want to adapt to the low skill ceiling that has been set; There will be no commonality or one so small why even bother changing up the game in that way. Like persona I didn't see a single person go back to the old SMT games after playing them so no.

No they should remain dead instead of undead husks like your pic

Appealing to the obsessive otaku audience comes with all the censorship, wide audience, DLC overhaul baggage shit every single time.

Go into it knowing Anno will never finish it(and the next guy who takes over will not finish it too) and will ride off of the waifu wars and 2deep4u discussions for all eternity Just like Beserk.

I think everyone got that "brick to the face" of deja vu when #FE came out

Jokes on you fam, I turned 18 last Wednesday!

This hurts me, user

Open worlds are just giant sandboxes with barely anything to do in them. A bunch of set pieces focused around a few areas. Saying that, Dragon's Dogma is still one of my favorite games and going from one side of the continent to the other is one hell of an adventure because of nearly every encounter is actually life threatening (only applies to hard mode post dragon) and not just a bunch of mobs that are easy to kill with the occasional badass. Losing one man on your team because he got slapped by a golem into the ocean is like losing a limb. Hell DD has of the best adaptive AI with the pawn system.
