Video Game General

“almost killed the franchise” is silly. It wasn’t Phantom Menace or Homecomming.

I recruited a guy just because he ambushed my guy’s mission.
 
For some reason, him and his entourage kept going after my guy until he was dead.
 
As penance, i set him against The Brain Biter until death.

@Meanlucario  
No game for six years? Yeah, I think it did. Sales numbers reflect that, too. People hated it.

Speaking of VNs, I kinda want to try Code: Realize some time. It’s an otome game (that is, intended for girls and with lots of hot guys instead of girls) that’s apparently really good. Currently, it’s only out for Vita in the west, but the PS4 version is slated to come out in English too.
 
And if nothing else, it has some pretty good art.  

 
Also, Arséne Lupin as one of the main characters.  

 
I generally would like to try out some otome and even yaoi games, but having little knowledge about those genres, I barely know what their greats are (although with the latter DRAMAtical Murder is pretty popular, I pretty much play it some point). Lesser stuff, that’s just light-hearted, not particular ambitious and fanservice-y stuff isn’t cutting it (not that there’s anything wrong with it), since I don’t belong to the target demographic.

@Cyborg_pony  
Sonic Boom does it too. I like the last few. That Peanuts reference and self deprecation…

I will never cease to be amazed how quickly the fucking morons at Digital Extremes can piss away any good will they earn because of being assholes, i really liked the Octavia’s anthem quest, but what do i find after? in addition to waiting 3 and 1/2 days minimum to build the quest reward, those worthless idiots locked all her part BPs behind fucking RNG, I would actually kinda like it if the EU went all out and declared that all games must have rewards that are predetermined under all circumstances just to watch DE devs go crazy because they will have to actually reward people for hard work instead of annoying them into spending money on everything,

@Thanotos Omega  
Well, I think Belgium and Hawaii just declared lootboxes gambling…

@Wiimeiser  
No i want more, i want all games to have to show you what the rewards will be from a mission before you do it, i want every item obtainable by direct effort, not a roll of digital dice because some jackass can’t be bothered to write some good banter to make players stay invested, they ruined a great little quest by not just doing what they did with Chroma and giving you all the BPs, i mean they damaged it already by not just giving you the fucking warframe because 3 and a half days of waiting for a reward is already bullshit,

@Meanlucario  
The entre Mario and Luigi series comes to mind.
 
The constant cooperation between the two.

@Thanotos Omega  
Good good, let the hate flow through you.

Only two months until the Bayonetta rereleases.

@Mike  
Try not to reason with him, he thinks the game’s perfect and the rest of us are in the wrong…

@Background Pony #8CF7  
The last thing I would say it’s that it’s perfect, I just think it’s also over hated and did one or two things well.

Mario Odyssey has a potato chip effect on me.

@warc9  
How many times has Luigi been player 1 and Mario player 2? Unless you’re playing with a friend, I doubt you’ll ever see Luigi outside of cutscenes in most Mario games.

@Meanlucario  
And that means Mario is abusive to him how?
 
In PMTTYD, he has a whole book series about him, he is a playable character in Super Paper Mario and a major plot, In 3d world he is there from the start, Nintendo did a whole year dedicated to him, he got a whole DLC to himself In New Super Mario Brothers U, been in every Smash brothers game being two places above his old bro mario in SSBM, and 18 out of 55 on SSB4.

@warc9  
I mean a lack of Mario allowing Luigi a chance to shine. Remember, Mario is in fact punching Yoshi, as the creator confirmed this year, so he isn’t as good as we make him up to be.

I want another Terminator game.

@Meanlucario  
That was the intention, but then it was changed, a part of that intevew that mattpat quote mined out.
 
And no, it wasn’t a lack of Mario.
 
3D world had him unlocked from the start with Peach and two toads, he is a major plot series in Super paper mario, again the whole existence of the Mario and Luigi series, unlockable in SSB, SSBM and, Brawl with him being unlocked from the start in Smash 4, Switching to him at any point in Galaxy 2, ect.

@warc9  
Still, Mario is abusing Yoshi to get him to corporate, regardless of what happens afterwards. You can still see him punching Yoshi in the game every time you have Yoshi attack.
 
Speaking of Paper Mario, Luigi turned evil in that series to get revenge on Mario for neglecting him and hogging the spot light. Don’t you think that has some weight on their relation that’s greater than how quickly you can unlock him? I don’t care about if Luigi is playable, but how he and Luigi interacts in the games, where it matters.

@Meanlucario  
It was changed to him pointing in a direction. So, no it wasn’t a punch.
 
“Speaking of Paper Mario, Luigi turned evil in that series to get revenge on Mario for neglecting him and hogging the spot light. “
 
Did you forget that Dimentio brainwashed him to do his biding? AKA, fight the heroes of the light prognosticus.
 
“Don’t you think that has some weight on their relation that’s greater than how quickly you can unlock him?”
 
No beacuse of what I said in the above.
 
“I don’t care about if Luigi is playable, but how he and Luigi interacts in the games, where it matters.”
 
So, a thank you a high five Hug in Mario is Missing ending for the PC, and hand shake and clear thank you in Dark Moon, this from Dream team, the countless hugs in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Mario sticking up for him at the Star gate after he gets told off as a test of character in Partners in Time, Luigi’s reunion with Mario in Bowser’s Inside Story, ect… Don’t count for major Luigi Love?

@Meanlucario
 

 
Um… no, he did not. He was brainwashed.

@warc9  
@Jarkes  
You know it doesn’t work that way, right? The brainwashing you’re thinking of takes months, while normal hypnosis just gets you to do things that don’t go against your morals, and takes seconds.
