Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

Me, upon seeing strong character be in my party at the beginning of the game: These are the villains. They’re so obviously the villains.
 
Me, later: VINDICATION!

@Scrabbleman  
You never played a Fire Emblem game than.

@Meanlucario  
Obviously, I’m poor!

@Scrabbleman  
I heard that modded consoles are quite cheap. That’s how I was able to play a translated version of FE4 and the GBA games.

@Meanlucario
 
Ah, so you know about that FE trope where strong party members are a trap in the different direction then.

@Dustcan  
That’s a pitfall. Jagens are great if you don’t use them as a clutch.

@Meanlucario
 
That’s fascinating, but doesn’t solve the problem that I need their strength to get further into the game in the first place.
 
And then I’m screwed because I didn’t grind my other guys.

@Dustcan  
Not like the games give you amble amount of enemies to kill and other pre-promotes who are also good/great. Ever watched a Dondon151 0% growth run?

@Meanlucario  

 
Depends at what point you are because you should know what I’m referring to of you finish the weeb thing

@QuasarNova  
I’ve beaten CS years ago, I’m just also beating it on the switch before starting HM for the first time.

Gonna play some spyro. Got the remake. Havent played Spyro since the 90’s.

@Terminal Red  
Hope you enjoy it.

Anyway, as i was saying earlier before realizing i was way to tired and angry to have a chance of explaining anything properly, the issue with the system of direct sequels to RPGs is that it takes a genre that already drags on way to much allot of the time, and adds even more baggage it, as well as greatly increasing the cost and effort needed to make them, RPGs should be self contained or else like ME they run the risk of wasting an entire setting in short order,

Keep talking trash about my baby and we’s gonna have an internet fight.

I love ME, the N7 logo had been my gammer icon on xbox 360 for years now, but the games should not have been a single story trilogy, and should have allowed time and distance between each game’s cast, to avoid ruining the entire verse and making the milkyway all but unusable in the future, also relying on overly long multi game arcs can fuck you over like it did in DA:I where most of the companions are among the weakest BioWare ever had, because they didn’t think to make them fun or interesting in as fast a pace as they did for Origins and 2,

@Thanotos Omega  
Sounds like the issue isn’t direct sequels, but franchises blowing their load too quickly. That isn’t a problem with direct sequels, but how they’re done. There’s a big difference.
 
@Thanotos Omega  
But DA:I isn’t a direct sequel. That would require us following the DA:O player and not changing it every game. You’re using an indirect sequel as an example of why direct sequels are bad.

@Thanotos Omega  
Please tell me how the Milky Way was rendered unusable by having a continuous trilogy set there, there are more planets in the Milky Way than there are world brushes on the Gmod workshop.
 
Also, from what you’re saying, I gather that all RPG series should be as connected as mainline Final Fantasy.

15ai is back up and I spent the last 4 minutes getting it to have Demoman say “Stout Shako for 2 refined!”
 
No regrets.

@Meanlucario  
it isn’t but in typical BioWare fashion it has to much baggage from the other games, and the lazy approach that resulted in the writers making such a bad party came from them doing ME,
 
 
@Wiimeiser  
Because the effects of 3’s endings are to big to not pick only one, and all of them change the status quo into one that makes it nearly impossible to carry on as the same series that came before,

@Thanotos Omega  
More likely Bioware became fat and lazy off of their success. Anthem is a game they made. And I’m sorry if ME had great companions that the company took the wrong notes when making future companions.
 
Ever heard of prequels? And ME was always about Reapers and choices, so they had cornered themselves from the start. ME1 was about stopping a mass extinction, and the franchise’s dumb lore that has humans going from not even believing in aliens to having a member in their high council within a human’s lifespan was always going to limit future games. Not like 3’s ending had much going for it from the start anyway.

@Dustcan  
I spent it making trixie recite DBZ abridged frieza lines.

Diablo 2 Remastered is happening.

@Mikey  
Warcraft 3 reforged bodes ill for it,

@Thanotos Omega
 
Pray-tell?

@Ebalosus  
W3 Reforged is the worst remaster ever. Look it up. So many issues.
 
-All owners of W3 are forced to update to the Remaster  
-Custom maps and gamemodes are owned by Blizzy  
-Buggy on launch.  
-Abysmal multiplayer experience across the board  
-The reskinned models are objectively higher-def but worse stylistically.  
-Cinematic cutscenes which would have been the highlight of the campaigns are cut entirely.
 
And more.
 
Listen. Nobody likes W3 Reforge. NOBODY. So if W3 Reforge is any indication of what is in store for D2 Remaster…it aint looking good.
 
Edit: OH. You were being ironic! Sorry I dint catch that. Well done.
