LUIGITORNADO

If they’re a quick and dirty port like Symphonia then I’ll pass.

I played this during a sleepy summer on GCN back in my teens.

It was so freaking whimsical. The towns folk had an air of mystery behind them.

Never beat it, but loved it.

@Wexter idk. Everyone felt pretty distinct in 3 houses. At least compared to Engage.

@Rayquaza2510 I don’t think only weebs watch anime.

I associate the high energy, flamboyant, fan service looking stuff with western weebs I spent my teenage years talking to on forums.

Thanks for the info though.

I am a casual watcher. If an anime interests me then I’ll watch it.

I just dislike this approach to FE. To me the older fire Emblem games may represent anime trends/tropes from that era, but it’s preferable than what I’m seeing with Engage.

Like I can’t believe I’m saying this because I complained about Three Houses and how different it was, but I perfer how that game presented itself over Engage.

Idk. I guess as a kid playing Sacred Stones, PoR and RD, I envisioned this series growing into something more dramatic and grounded. I don’t want to say like “Game of Thrones” because I think there’s a place for Fire Emblem’s silly sense of humor, and it’s still a video game, but yeah…something a bit more mature with a focus on political intrigue and not this nonsensical fantasy rainbow farting trumpet.

Tbh. If someone made a Fire Emblem game that presented itself sort of like a western medieval fantasy. Maybe sort of like Dragon Age Origins, with interesting characters, but still inherently Japanese in style and design (like dark souls/berzerk)…I’d love that game to pieces.

I still love the gameplay though…

@Rayquaza2510 what happened to all those weebs talking about how diverse anime is. Why can we get something more mature looking?

Why do all women characters have the same face?

This is awful looking!

@KindofaBigDeal

Thing is with most video game journalism is by exetension they work for the PR department for these companies.

Unless a company really botches a game previews are going to me more or less favorable.

It’s not really paying off, but these sites are attempting to not sully their relationship with publishers by being overtly negative about products.

Media trades are what this industry runs on.

I really hate the art. It’s so bad. I don’t want to get it for that reason alone.

Why do people think this is the final track? Isn’t there 6 more cups?

@Expa0 that’s disheartening. Series might as well be dead to me too. I’m tired of this direction the games took. The fan service is awful. They’re appealing to be lowest common denominator.

I’m waiting on Engage. Looks insipid so far.

Super Mario World

@iLikeUrAttitude you can’t say for certain it was or was not.

Pretty lame for Nintendo video game content. Can’t remember if they did anything the year before.

What are they doing to Bayonetta? What’s with the huge tonal shifts? Is it to make it more marketable? I know the games aren’t huge successful hits, but the soul of this franchise seems to be lost atm.

@YoshiF2 idk. Maybe. I enjoyed 2 better than 1 and X. It has its quirks, but I prefer almost everything about it.

@nessisonett you’re getting all that from a trailer?

Too early to tell.

And peach…races in karts in the games. Don’t understand your complaint

That is the last trailer I’m watching. Movie looks fun.

Has Nintendo /GameFreak been quiet about the technical issues?

How much influence did Tencent have in Bayonetta 3? Seemed very toothless compared to the first 2.

I understand Sony’s worry over the possibility of losing Call of Duty maybe, but what’s really preventing them from investing in their own FOS??

@AtlanteanMan I agree. Same as you. Those two were my first. Besides going back and playing some older ones, the newer ones haven’t scratched that itch.

I wish the newer games leaned into the more “grounded” approach.

If anyone knows any indie games similar to FE that tell a more grounded story; please let me know.

I found it melodramatic. And the art style is still a pooper

Keep seeing this headline pop up on news sites and they keep referring it to a “elf” costume. Driving me a little crazy lol

@Bizaster he could’ve been silent about it though if he was not confident. Saying nothing is saying something

Hoping for some Black Friday deals for this.

@Otoemetry looks better than Sword and a shield.

Probably going to skip this. Stardew is the only farming sim I really need. I might get A Wonderful Life because it was my first.

What’s wrong with you people? Why isn’t Nintendo that big in the U.K.?

@MrSeitaro i think they look fine. It’s the frame rate and resolution dragging it down. Superficially in he prologue. I feel like I’m using a flip book to render them.

Bayonetta 2 and Astral Chain are the tops for me.

@steely_pete

Or just "character design." Or just the character's name. Chloe in this case.

TBH I wouldn't have cared as much if you didn't make that other comment. Like I said. Stereotype. And it hurts gaming's image so much.

@steely_pete

Paired with a, "nice boobs." Oh yeah. Real winner comment you got there.

@Polvasti

I agree. The flamboyant designs don’t do anything for me.

As soon as a dev makes a FE game with a dark fantasy look, I’m out of this franchise.

I still like the gameplay loop of battles. It’s the only reason why I still buy FE games.

And lol @ that other Pete user talking about “females” and liking the character “breasts.” Some people just fit the stereotype I guess.

Looks like a standard anime character design. The squished facial features look silly.

Maybe they should hire a better artist next game.

I will not boycott the game. Taylor isn't the only artist involved in creating it.

I do support her though.

This really is despicable behavior. I don't care if the rate is the status quo.

AND TBH I hate that they got Hale. You can tell it's Hale. It's Hale trying to sound like Taylor's Bayonetta.

Taylor put the work in, she did the two other games (anime movie too?). The voice she created has informed the character work since then.

I'm so annoyed by this and for Taylor.

I liked 3 better than the other 2. Combat felt the best here.

@The-Chosen-one he frequently talks in full sentences during fan meet and greets as Mario.

It’s just…too much. It’s too high. It’s obnoxious and for movie it wouldn’t work.

He wouldn’t be good in a long speaking role as Mario. Honestly. I wouldn’t bay an eye if they replaced him as Mario in the games entirely.

His high pitched voice work for Mario is awful and outdated, and I’m tired of hearing it.

What’s the odds limited run publishes them?

@Bratwurst35 sure can’t wait to hear buzzkill comments like this for the next 6 months

I thought NMH3 was on equal level of the first 2. The series has always been niche and middilimf. Performance has always been poor

If it’s good enough for Nintendo then it’s good enough for me.

Looks fine.

His but looks like Danny Devito as the penguin when he’s wearing the onesie

That looks magnicifent

Still mildly annoyed they recasted Bayonetta. Nothing against Hale, but she got one of those voices where I just hear it everywhere. It sounds like she’s doing an accent.

The equivalent would be casting Nolan North as Kratos.

Helena Taylor was perfect.

Is he still a one man show?

Dead in the water I hope.

I like Shadows of Mordor. Don't need anything else other than that type of hack and slash.

Fantasy is oversaturated in video games. A LotR RPG has little to nothing to say compared to all its Tolkien fantasy clones that have been popping up in popular media the last four decades.

Tired of it. Let the old man's work go dead please.

@Arawn93 someone needs to make a FE game that’s the opposite.

@Slasher the two clips showing an enemy falling back in the same format.

It’s fine. I’m nitpicking. I just don’t see what so pretty about it. It’s just too clean for my tastes.

I replayed it a few years ago. I loved it as a kid, but I don’t think it has aged well. Combat is just really simple lol. Like half baked.

Very charming though. Lot of cool world building.

@Dom_31 It’s really leaned into weeb crap lately.
