>like series>series gets worse over time>know there will never be a good game in the series again in your heart>still keep up with news on series in the vain hope it might get a good entry again>it never doesWhat series is it for you, /v/?
Mine was the same as yours.. probably.... Pokemon.
>>729364481I keep up with pokemon news because is fucking hilarious see poketards defend this shit, plus i still like old games
>>729364481Dragon Age. Really like the origins, I tolerated the second game when it released (never replayed it), every game after that doesn't exist as far as I'm concerned. So I just replay Origins every two years or so and enjoy it.
>>729364481Halo. It's been fucked for 15 years and yet I just can't let it go.
Why yes, I mod and further develop the old games myself and consider their branch the new canon, how did you guess?
>>729364481>>729364576>>729364775>we will never EVER get a good 3D mainline home console gameNo series will ever disappoint me as much as Pokemon. It was my first love as a child, and it really was magical up through the Japanese-set games. Then it's really obvious they started caring about brand image more than the actual quality of the games released. I remember as a kid sitting on the toilet at school bored out of my mind thinking about how deep and beautiful the games would be 20 years from now... it literally has been 20 years and the games now are worse than the games then. Horrifying.
Gen VII was great and I'm not going to pretend otherwise.
>>729364481final fantasy
>>729364481>Pokemon>The Legend of Zelda>Kingdom Hearts>Halo>Diablo>World of Warcraft>Metal Gear>Assassin's CreedAnd many more.Although there were past cases of redemption, as with Resident Evil when it went downhill with 5 and 6 but redeemed itself with 7.
>>729364481Arcanum
all of them. there's a reason why the rated games of 2025 were all indie slop
>>729364481Romance of the Three KingdomsI'm still confused they've never bothered translating the steam ports of I~XI. They'd rather release some jank-ass remake than translate an original is what I gather.
>>729364481Castlevania
>>729364481Pokemon ZeldaAtelierAlready dropped Kirby for good
>>729366105I liked the plot, the music and team skull but I'm not going to pretend that the game wasn't total dogshit and a cutscene simulatorStill a billions times better than SWSH though, that game offered 0 positives and gave me piratefag remorse
>Pokémon is bad now because... because... BECAUSE I SAY SO!I have retard fatigue.
>>729367236you shouldn't hate yourself like that
>>729366105Everything after gen 3 sucks except HGSS. And even HGSS is held back due to being a gen 4 game. Which means it's modern enough to where the jank is no longer charming and fun, but not modern enough to have substantial quality of life improvements. Gen 3 itself only gets a pass thanks to Emerald's battle frontier, which might still be too generous, because while the idea was excellent the execution wasn't great. Too much RNG fuckery.
>>729366105a great shit, yes
>>729367236>ugly art direction>half the roster cut so they can swap them around every 1-2 years while forcing you to pay for home and use it as a selling point>exploration neutered, barely any puzzles or dungeons if any>focusing on the humans which only retarded gooners and storyfags want
>>729366105I hated it. It had good parts, but they pushed the railroading and cringe dialogue to the max.Hau and Lillie are annoying and you're not even allowed to explore side areas like the Akala resort until you advance the story - even though there would be nothing to do. If the games had a skip button and less of this shit, they would have been salvageable, maybe.
>>729367156ur me :(
>>729364481Who had the worst decline? Pokemon or Final Fantasy
>>729367471BW2 clears
>>729369725Imo FF. There arguably hasn’t been a good one since X. Ya know,the one that came out when Pokemon was in Gen 3.. FF has been a joke of a franchise for most of the life span of Pokemon.
>>729364481Final Fantasy. I know it in my heart of hearts it'll never rekindle that joy I had playing FF games, I know it'll never be Turnbased again that they've turned the series into something it's not that whatever those games after 10 are, they are not real FF games and never will be one again.
>>729366105these games were awful>lame ass handholdy story bullshit >can't even explore the map freely
>>729364481Dragon Quest.DQXI was great and so it was Builders 2, but anything post pandemic (except for Tacts) has been utter fucking shit.I am waiting to see what the deal with DQXII but highly doubt it I will play it.
