A franchise killed by Sega's retardation.
>>720827114False just not enough people cared about it and loud minority wanted it. 3 was great and 4 also. That said not having jap audio and bad translation sucks. Sega did nothing wrong only with Sakura Taisen by not having more fanservice and changing art and doing retarded mobile game.
>Not a single game where Selvaria is the love interestdropped
>>720827572>False just not enough people cared about it and loud minority wanted it.Yeah no, Sega said themselves that VC1 was successful but because it was more popular in the west they changed 2 into what it was to make it more appealing to the Japanese market, which of course didn't actually work and alienated the west in the process.
VC threads die fast if you don't start with coombait, OP.
>>720827572There was an audience, but they tried to woo the audience that didn't exist instead. Everything took a nosedive with the PSP releases. The art style, the gameplay, the map design, the visual fidelity. VC4 is what VC2 should have been.
I wish Raita worked on more games
>>720830219>Everything took a nosedive with the PSP releases.This. Even Japanese gamers called out SEGA on being retarded for releasing 2 and 3 on PSP that was already dying.>>720830561You and me bro.
>>720830219I'm noticing that often when Japan makes something genuinely cool it only gains traction in the west which then leads to a self conscious, schizophrenic handling of the series before killing it. Advance wars, lost planet, cowboy bebop, metroid.
>>720830676>try to pander to Japan>fail>try to pander to the west even more>failSome series are just not meant to last.
>>720830656My problem is less that it released on a dying consoles and more about it's shitty specs, making it so the game HAD to be shittier. Releasing the third game on the same console boggles the mind. Same with Revolution.
>>720827572retarded weaboo
>>720827114Exiling 2 and 3 to handheld jail was the first mistake, and Revolution struck the killing blow. 4 was decent, but the damage had already been done.
1 >>>> 2 > 3 > 4
>>720830676Lost Planet 2 was the best game though and that was the result of making it more Japanese, then 3 was a pivot the other way and it was the worst of the three. I don't even know what you mean by Cowboy Bebop. And Metroid is just all over the place.
>>720836096Lost planet 2 was an attempt to make it like monster hunter in an era when the west hated MH, they then pivoted to some super anime cell shaded shit you completely forgot about because it wasn't even released in the west, that flopped and then lost planet 3 being outsourced to the west killed it permanently. Bebop is about Watanabe himself, after bebop he made champloo, (which is actually better than bebop) a samurai anime, manglobe died chasing that high. Then he would return to the format with space dandy which was much more western in flavour, now he's making actual woke americanised bullshit.Metroid is all over the place because it's a Japanese IP that was more popular in the west and the schizophrenia is the same as every IP in its position. It's confused Japanese men swinging between two extremes and pleasing nobody.
>>720831680Yeah, that too affected it all.Gone were the graphics and filter that was in the 1st game. This too hit 2 and 3 hard.Revolution on the other hand is literally this series' C&C4.
