Why is this franchise so cursed?
Bin Laden specifically planned 9/11 to happen when AW was releasedAlso Lin best girl
>>729662201upsetting that they will never continue down the path of days of ruin, units, balance, or that the sound track is muddy as fuck
>>729662072>cursedElaborate
Nintendo is terrified of controversy so they refuse to release an Advance Wars game if there are more than two land-based armed conflicts active on Earth at any time.
>>729662692Just make the plot childish with characters who have black and white morals and put some antiwar/bullshit message at the end.
>>729663112That's already what Advance Wars is like.
LashTabithaNuru
>>729662072>Game is fucked over by the Americans and the RussiansYou have to admit this is pretty funny.
Because they killed off the only truly good person in their last game
>>729664203You can’t kill that which was already dead.
I blame WayBored
focus on pure gameplay and lack of artificial progression systems means that it's only ever going to be a niche series since most people are dumb threadmill chasers
>>729664203Oh yeah I forgot about thatI remember getting really drunk one night and pre ordering because I still play the advanced wars 2 and days of ruin from time to timeThen one day I got an email they refunded it and pulled from the store or something. I know they gave ukraine as the (outright retarded) reason, but it felt more like they just wanted to postpone the release and used euros being retarded (as usual) as a scapegoat
>>729664851>I know they gave ukraine as the (outright retarded) reason, but it felt more like they just wanted to postpone the release and used euros being retarded (as usual) as a scapegoatProbably a bit of both. Japan IS really sensitive about conflicts happening within its sphere, right now they are in a full culture war with China.
>>7296625949/11 happened before the official release of the first game. Japan and Europe releases were delayed.Shitty Wayforward remake's release was delayed by the Ukraine/Russia fiasco. The game ended up being mediocre, extremely censored/babied in aesthetic, and the art style was butchered with many character designs getting fucked over.
>>729664851That would imply that Nintendo actually gave a shit about the game. They didn’t. It was a low priority game for all parties involved.
>>729663112Lol, already done. The four army alliance (despite that Grit is an Orange Star trator) still holds strong and Black Hole, essentially invaders without their own territory (since whatever the Black Hole lands from 1 and 2 were annexed after Sturm was beheaded) are perminant invaders everywhere they go.

>>729667987At least we some new shitty Max porn out of it.
>>729666951fr like who the hell at nintendo thought it was a good idea to put wayforward the company known for mid titles but great sex appeal for a series that doesn't need sex appeal at allone of the devs stating they didn't make multiplayer a priority proves my pointlike multiplayer should have been the BIGGEST priority for this game to even have a chance at survival not to mention the map maker is ass for online cause of the limits and they add nothing to the base games pretty much im just saying they could have made the dual strike exclusive content just for the map maker and have the cos unlockable for every mode except story (most would need reworks however mainly javier cause com towers dont exist for the most part)all around no one gave a shit when making this game and it killed any chance of this series being revived
>>729668498My opinion of Max went way down since Arin Hanson voiced him.
At least the music was goodhttps://youtu.be/vNiL-ljs3I0?t=10https://youtu.be/H4qVkd71Mhw?t=10
tummy wars
>>729669716Lash is the best character. She's like a cuter Ed with a violent streak.
>>729669716I'm impressed Dual Strike managed to make the little bitch kind of attractive
>>729669831>>729669843even though she's not that attractive, her personality makes up for it and she has a nice tummy, girlfriend/wife material
>>729669843>make the little bitch kind of attractiveShe literally grew up. The same way Sonia went from nerdy child to top tier waifu
>>729670493she was already top tier waifu tho
>>729668890The game solely exists as an olive branch from WF’s friends at NoA after the Bakugan incident. Advance Wars is so far down on the IP totem pole that NoJ didn’t really care as long as it didn’t cost more than 5 bucks to make. If you need someone to blame, blame Reggie.
I keep wanting AW to give more fanservice to their characters, like conversations, scenes, outfits or art, etc. But the more I think about it the more I think>it wont help the game, gameplay, and franchise in the long run. It might even subtract from the focus of the gameplay>AW would just become another Fire Emblem, or worse, a gacha because that's literally how gachas advert and appeal>these characters weren't meant to be more than what you see. Them all having theme songs and now VAs are great but the well might not be that deep. Maybe they ahould just come out with a solid version of the gameplay loop for modern sensibilities like true proper online, making the base game more fair for pvp (by web has most all their maps let p2 start with extra properties or an inf on the base t1), or just fix the gameplay balance. I understand Hachi was built as a secret weapon end-of-game unlock in the same way AW was built as a single player experience first, pvp second. We've moved on, and if it weren't for the fact Re:Bootcamp was a remake I'd ask to see those changes before fanservice added.
>>729662072Because the games are not good. The singleplayer is garbage while the multiplayer requires a billion conditions to not be broken shit.
>>729667987wow what a fucking faggot, and this is supposed to be the "passionate gamer"? no wonder this industry is cooked
>>729671207I think fanservice is ok, as long as they don't introduce RPG mechanics and progression mechanics, the core gameplay will lbe intact.
>>729670030>>729670610it's such a shame the series releases in Japan were such a shitshow, or we might of gotten a reasonable amount of hentai of the girls getting savagely gangbanged
>>729672392I hope the main artist currently has a good job.His work in the first 3 games was excellent.
>>729671207I wouldn't mind some minor balance changes, but going too far to make everyone equal would have them feel homogenous. I actually prefer the tiering system AWBW uses even if I think there are some misplaced COs, or some...questionable choices for balance (un-nerf Drake you cowards, I know it's because AW2 and DS are different but he's so fucking bad now)
>>729672530was it the same guy for all 3? The art looked pretty different from game to game
>>729671207what made Hachi so good anyway? Doesn't he just get to deploy units off of cities?
>>729673286I certainly don't promote homogeneous COs either, but I think yweaking numbers is a great start to finding that balance. Does Hachi NEED a price cut AND the ability to cinstruct land units from cities for a super? Perhaps that price cut whouldn't be so good so he can't build 2 mediums and still have change leftover. Maybe Sensei shouldn't put a 9hp infantry on every unoccupied city of his at merley 2 stars of charge. Koal is a case I think leveling him would bring homgenity since his identity is so close to Adder's, nobody wants to attack from the 0 defense roads with ONLY a 10% increase. Maybe make it 20% and Koal could be more like a conditional Grimm- heavy hitting but can't take it back. I think Grit can keep his range but the power he gets from his COP is the same as SCOP, it just also gives him another +1 range, so I could see that being worth tweaking. Some COs are defined simply by 1 specific trait that doesn't so enough to make them threatening every turn, like Rachel who has frankly an amazing (if not cheesable) super, but the +1 repair that she still has to pay for is pretty weak, if she didn't need to pay that'd be a different story but I wonder if that'd be enough to bump her any higher.
>>729673632Ryo Hirata did all 3 GBA games.His style just basically became less cartoony >Max.
>>729674069I see.Did you mean to mention Max there?
>>729672530looks like he went back to doing work in the anime industry. Its a shame he doesn't work on more games, his art felt like golden age capcom tier stuff.
>>729671458WayForward snakes kill another game. Remember, these same group of people have their hands in a bunch of pies, from the lab zero takeover to Sonic the Hedgehog
>>729674335No, I meant Max is the biggest sign of his developing style.Dual Strike has him losing some of his wide-jawed "gorilla" motif and gaining much more muscle definition from BWR and BWR beefed him up the first game.
>>729673747Yeah, and they can be purchased at half price when he uses his super power. When he gets his super you can buy a bunch of units from cities all over the map. Against most COs this is too much for them to handle.
>>729673747Holy shit, his kit is insane. >passive: flat 10% price cut for all unitsTanks at 6300, md at 1440, copters at 8100, and infantry at 900. >cop: all units are half price>scop: all units at half price AND ground units can be built from citiesIn PVp AW, the number of units your army has is a major factor; an infantry wall can just surround a megatank or bomber and make them useless, pinned, and a sitting duck. Players are limited in how many units they can deploy by the number of bases and income. Hachi has his own rules for BOTH of those factors and can turn the tides instantly or just steamroll. Not only can I buy a Md tank at 7500 (almost the price of a tank), but I can do it on my most forward city and circumvent the 3ish turns it takes a slow Md Tank to get to the front lines. But not just my most forward city but every city from there to my bases will have a unit ready to go next turn. Most Hachi players will be conservstive with their money and play defensivly until they get the super and tjrow all their money into mumtiple 3500 tanks and superweapons. Hachi does not subscribe to "teching up" like regular players do because his income and fund management game is on another planet.
>>729672530Agreed. Art was amazing. Music was amazing. Loved these games
>>729673985I think allowing T0s to remain broken is part of the charm and mystique of them. Yes, they're bullshit, but that's why they have a tier of their own. Within each of the other tiers the COs are usually well balanced, and we can see that shifting a tier can completely destroy a CO. For instance Kindle was 56-60% winrate on every map in tier 3, but she's nearly unplayable in tier 2. Which is good because Kindle is fucking miserable and should be deleted from the game but hey.That said if I were to throw out balances changes, it'd be something like revert drake like I said before, -30% on copters is brutal. Maybe a tiny boost to Rachel where she also pays 10% less for repairs. Adder is definitely the big dog of t4 but I don't know if he needs any nerfs, even a tiny change would ruin him. Sonja could be changed to flat 0 luck instead of +/- 9. I'd rather see a change by making naval units viable first and then go from there. Slash all the costs by ~20% and make Cruisers not utter dogshit.
>>729666548>they are in a full culture war with China.That's just Japan with all its neighbours, at any point in history
>>729674717Don't forget that Hachi also has a money printing hack associated with his power. Use your neotank (which you bought at half price) to hit something, maybe you go 3-9, then combine it with another neotank to get 20k gold back. Then pop your power again and use the refunded 20k to buy nearly TWO fresh new neotanks with the discount. Repeat multiple times and he can feel like Colin. Also, while he's on his power, his units only count at half cost for enemies generating CO charge. Just when you think Hachi doesn't have enough bullshit, there's always something else.
>>729662072Unironically incel gooners, both in Nintendo’s core audience and Intsys itself. Awakening proved once again that dumber/easier/anime sells best, and directly killed both Advance Wars and everything that Fire Emblem was up to that point.
I really want Sami to Victory March on me
>>729663112So... Fuga?
There's no way Nintendo ever tries again with this series after the Ukraine conflict ruined their launch of an already-niche franchiseIf only the game had released on time, that would've been several months before the war
>>729675839it feels weird to blame [bad thing happening] for the continued failures of the franchise. [bad things] happen every couple months, there's never going to be a time frame where [bad thing] isn't recent in everyone's mind.I'll agree that launching AW1 around 9/11 was rotten luck and probably impacted sales a fair bit, but blaming Ukraine for the reboot feels like a cope when the truth is the remake just sucked ass. Nintendo is content to let the series rot because they've had FE for the last decade to milk and that's starting to run dry, no reason to split their audience for minimal return on investment.
>>729675839>>729676068It's so stupid, they were selling a simple HD retexture that arguably looks worse than the original for 60 bucks, the only thing added was the barebones online play.
>>729675210True, but there were periods of silent peace. Now Japan said that Taiwan should be free and China went nuts because of it.
>>729676254They even made some things worse, like the enemy AI sometimes being passive enough to not pop their powers, the general sluggishness of the game, and problems like crashing.
I'm sick of franchises, why does every IP need a million games?
>>729676580because I want to play vide-games?
>>729676580The formula is unique enough that it should keep being refined. What other game does what Advance Wars did?
>>729676796This is the stupidest post I've seen all day
>>729676647I would like slop of her in full military combats, except without boots
if i had a million dollars i'd spend them on making Advance Wars x Command and Conquer, the strategy crossover nobody but me asked for. It won't sell good, it'll probably need more than one million in licensing fees, but it's a game I wanna see happen. and it'll have the return of the hex grid from Gameboy Wars as an optional feature because i wanna see what fucked up maps the community can cook up on a hex grid
>>729662518The campaign of days of ruin was so ass. It was all tutorials tutorialized trash until the last two or three maps where they then put you against the equivalent of a child making up powers on the fly in a game that underutilized its mechanics. The rest of it was good but fuck people who pretend the game doesn't gmhage the worst campaign of the 3
>>729677012> No answerWe want more Advance Wars, simple as.
What happened to that spiritual successor that was in early access last year?I only remembered it existed now so I imagine it either never came out or it crashed and burned like the rest of the AW spiritual successors.
>>729676068I'm not saying anyone gave a shit about Ukraine, the problem is that Nintendo refunded everyone's pre-orders and then stealth-dropped the game later, killing any traction for sales
Anyone playing the Days of Ruin romhack Dawn After Ashes? I'm most of the way done with the hard campaign and man it's actually exhausting to play, some of these maps I feel go overboard.
>>729678552It's barely different than fire emblem and the like and there's tiny metal and war groove
>>729679089>It's barely different than fire emblem
>>729673747In addition to what the other anons said, when he uses his CO power and all his units become half price, it makes them count as half price for the purposes of the opponent generating CO power charge via damage, effectively cutting it in half and making it that much harder to get your own power going. The only CO anywhere near as broken as him is Sensei, because he just generates infinite money and units too.
>>729678782There are no good AW rom hacks
>>729679264>I focused on one subjective part of his statement and ignored the two other examples that support his overall claim
>>729679715Don't lead with a blatant lie next time then.
>>729679663>old grizzled war vets are the most opBased
It has never sold very well.
>>729680016It's not a lie, they're rock paper scissors strategy games.
>>729679681Eh this one does some interesting things at least. DoR powers are inherently more interesting to me than older games and the reworks/new cos added have some cool ideas. Even if the hard campaign is grueling to the point where I need a break.
>>729678705Which one?
>>729662072Because it filters jrpg shitters
>>729679681Mangsvance wars was funSame for advance wars alpha
Not enough waifus. That's all s/trpgs are now.
I want to watch a mud wrestling fight between Sami and Sonja

>>729681512>sami wins in seven seconds>you haven't even gotten your hand in your pants yetWow, what a cool fantasy, anon
>>729662072because it's by the same studio as Fire Emblem, which is a far lamer, and also far more financially successful and popular series.
>>729683042>he can't strip butt naked in less than 7 secondsYou'd never make it with a military tomboy

>What's the issue?>Scroll thread>Nitpick, nitpick, nitpick... it was AWFUL!I want autistics killed.
>>729683469>imageThis is fucking horrible after the pedigree work in the original games.
>>729681346If turning the game into waifuslop was the cost for them making more advance wars games I'd accept it. It's not fair that FE got to be so successful just because of its girls. There's a world where people are tired of Smash adding so many COs
>>729683396is it true that if you pop Kanbei's super-power and move a soldier onto his headquarters, then they become invincible?(provided they're at full health?)
>>729683537Well here's a few critical issues the reboot had.1. it never fixed game crashing bugs if super powers activated on large enough maps2. you can't save vs mode games even tho you could on the original games3. the AI is somehow even dumber when it comes to using powers or moving troops.the average /v/tard didn't play these games because of the bad art style or niggers but outside of the music and clone andy being a cute addition, it's a worse product.
>>729683635Nah. At most you might have gotten one as a moveset clone of Snake after he was removed in 4WiiU/3DS.
Sensei has both the best CO powers AND CO theme music.
>TEEHEE-HEE! WAR IS CUTE AND COLORFUL AND FUN!Demonic shit.
>>729683692>the game is objectively worse yea, but you only didn’t play it because of the art styleNo one said that, that’s not a reason any /v/aggot wouldn’t play a game
because the gameboy advance ended and you got the ds it's an old game
>>729684098bro this game did not sell well and i'm pretty sure the art style was a big factor in that.Hell the art style gets in the way of being able to swiftly identify units on the map so that's another actual gameplay issue as well.
>>729684098there's no need to lie
>>729683773Other than the fact Grimm is a noob trap, the Grimm/Sensei tag in DS was my goat.
Right? It's a great series that's so much fun and it sucks Nintendo abandoned it.We're lucky we got the WayForward remakes at all, which may have been a mixed bag, but I'm just happy we finally got a 3D entry.
>>729662201>Bin LadenOh sweet summer child
>>729684098The afformentioned reasons are bad but the art style and the added minorities as the footsoldiers were all I could see discussed in /v/ threads
>>729684479I dunno, “great” series usually don’t fail this much
>>729684550Good does not correlate to success in entertainment
>A big war starts the day a game about war is supposed to release>*GULP* NYAH-HOOO *pulls collar, fans reddening face*>POSTPONE IT!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T RELEASE IT NOW!!What happened to us a species? Why is everyone such a fucking PUSSY nowadays?
>>729662072is the original style the most popular? Days of Ruin is the one that stuck with me
>>729683635The problem is when these guys make waifuslop it's not just 'there's cute girls in the game'. They tie game mechanics to the girls.
>>729684675It's more a Japanese thing, all sorts of stuff gets cancelled for coming out at a bad timeJust be glad Advance Wars was merely delayed. The finale of a several-year-long plot for pokemon's anime got cancelled because an earthquake happened in Japan and one happens in the episode and so the entire arc just fizzled out
Dont look if you dont like AI, but when I started experimenting with generative models AW came to mind since it has so little art.
>>729684530If they simply had to add minorities they could've at least been accurate about it>Orange Star and Green Earth is white and black>Blue Moon is only white>Yellow Comet is only asian
>>729685423

>>729685423>>729685509>>729685598 AI generate Sami but she naaaaaaaaked

>>729685672Last one. >>729685660Perhaps one day...
>>729664385admit it, you'd do the same thing if you were in his situation
>>729662072It just doesn't have a lot going for it as a series.The followups after advance wars 2 were grasping for straws and had also basically given up on reinventing themselves.It should've been by all accounts a dead series after 2 because there is nowhere to go after it. Sad but true.
>>729685795Nope, id be the Beast instead.
>>729662072>Why is this franchise so cursed?Nips are all eternally awkward perma-shut-ins who DEMAND an included dating sim to appreciate a game. This is why Fire Emblem still gets games whereas Advance Wars does not.Advance Wars has never been particularly popular in Nipponland.
>>729685445Sure they could, but the point of DEI is to transcend historic accuracy for brownie points, but they ironically have plausible deniability because Macro Land or whatever its called isnt the real world, its a parody.
>>729686016If they really wanted a dark and gritty game they could've made AW2 from Black Hole's perspective of how they conquered the world before 2 took place. Then the final mission could've been Sturm fending off the Allied Nations
>>729684530Things like the art style are really the canary falling over, the thing that makes it valid or not is whether the tell is accurate.If it's dropping dead all the time for no reason, then more people would get over it, but it's actually been a reliable tell for so many games that it's only natural that people don't simply look past it.It's not really the people simply going 'the art sucks', it's 'the art sucks in this way, and you know what that means for the rest of it'.Any given game may be the exception but people aren't expecting the guy squatting his ass over a plate to plunk out that gold bar.Metroid Prime 4 is the history book example for how things like this play out.
>>729683853Ironically I don't think any of them understand what war on the front lines is like or have suffered anything major except for a select few>Sensei>Hachi>Hawk>Olaf>SamiOh and Sonja who was a PoW in the first game. They are all commanders after all, not the ones in the battlefield. I could look at DoR and respect in order to get the CO powers you need to have your CO board a unit, but they always magically escspe unharmed if said unit dies.
>>729686440Forgot pic
>>729686249Not even that. Shit it was somewhat admirable they tried to salvage the series by turning it into something more fire emblem like with a continuous journey but it just isn't the game for it.
>>729686016>The followups after advance wars 2 were grasping for straws and had also basically given up on reinventing themselves.What the fuck do you mean they gave up on reinventing themselves? Both of those games offered whole new mechanics for their gameplay, AW2 didn't do anything beyond add a second, higher power and cost, version of each CO's power.
>>729686327The game being as ugly as it was also shows that they screwed up the concept of a remake at a fundamental level. The point is to improve on the original version thanks to better tech, improved design philosophy and listening to what fans want, which Reboot Camp completely failed at on all accounts.
>>729687480And Neotanks. AW2 had to figure out how to split COPs into COPs and SCOPs. Dual Strike also did some balance tweaking as well, mostly reducing negatives to a lot of CO d2ds. Itd amazing what taking away Jess' infantry nerf does to her power
It's David Heiss's curse. Expect its effects to get even stronger when he escapes from jail in a couple years.
>>729687587Exactly right. Even worse when they then use their self created failure as justification for why we don't deserve any more.>Create a successful, even if modestly so, remake>maybe do something slightly more off kilter for the next game.It couldn't be easier, yet it still suits them better to keep fucking that up.
Had Reboot Camp done better I'm sure we would've at least seen a remake of Dual Strike using the pre-existing assets
>>729687996>And Neotanks.New units are both so minor in the context of "reinventing themselves" and such a given thing for a sequel that it's not even worth mentioning.
>>729662072they should just make a new gamei dunno why IP holders squat on these franchises, refuse to make any games, but sue anyone that doesmake some fucking games you assholes
>>729674427WayForward is totally fine with jiggle physics and titties. That guy even seethes about it carrying Shantae for so long. AW isn't their IP and I believe the dev time was right in the middle of theBLM and MeToo cringe era. They probably just tossed it to avoid a headache.
This could be us fr fr
>>729676580Most IPs have two games tops wtf are you talking about?
so are my only choices Tiny Metal and Wargroove?since Fire Emblem is only vaguely similar
>>729662518I'd rather have the original's setting and characters over the ultra edgy crap DS tried to pull
>>729689076I think the success of FE Awakening is what really put the Advance Wars franchise on the sidelines. Up until that point, Advance Wars games where generally selling the same as Fire Emblem games, only FE7 and FE8 sold better than the Advance Wars games prior to Awakening, which more than doubled the best selling game of the two franchises prior.Something like Reboot Camp is a good way to see how much interest a series has after a long hiatus while keeping dev relatively cheap and easy (the blueprints are already laid out in the old games, just follow them and update the visuals/sound/presentation). But that was neither particularly well made nor did it have a fair chance at a good release, thanks to the curse.
>>729690036Grit defected to Blue Moon from Orange Star before the events of AW1, so Infind it interesting Olaf would phrase Grit as one of "Blue Moon's children"
>>729689829Tiny metal 2 looks more like advanced wars than advanced wars at this point just hold out for the sequel
>>729689727>>729689829Gadget Trial really is Advance Wars if all the units were moe girls.I played quite a bit of it a long time ago. I should give it a go again.I remember something about not liking how you couldn't put a unit on factories to stop the enemy from building units though, it made things a bit of a slog sometimes.There's a bunch of good screenshots here.https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/where-i-struggle-through-gadget-trial.674633/>>729690453Well, Olaf is clearly high on victory in that scene, when he was grading Grit less than dirt in that opening scene, the contrast is the point really.It's that disfunction that makes it good, they're a weird bunch but they still stick together, especially to protect their country.
>>729669716>>729670030her sprite always made her look chubby and i was so disappointed finding out she wasn't. still cute though, even with her fivehead and presumed stink
>>729676254>>729676578>Nintendo's second worst (or worst depending on who you ask) dev team collaborating with a washed up indie studio comprised of incestuous SoCal nepo hires>end product is an abomination
>>729690453They frame it like Olaf is a traitor to Orange Star as well in the first game, so it is gently massaging it.
>>729677892isnt game boy wars 3 really in depth compared to the rest of the series for some reason? weird how they never went back to a hex grid or all those other new units like CIWS on carriers.also, new Battalion Wars when?
>>729689265The director of RBC retweets ecchi and shit all the time. The deciding factor for the change most likely came down from Nintendo rather than internally.
>>729690979Problem with GT is that the maps are very large and battle can go on forever

>>729662072man i wish shit emblem didnt exist"we have the recipe for the ultimate turn based board game that can be perfected into something that could even rival chess""nah lets keep making fantasy anime goonslop with shitty rng and dumb rpg elements"
>>729690979>Advance Wars if all the units were moe girlsi do not want this
I never quite got around to play Days of Ruin, how balanced is it, because the previous games were never quite that balanced
>>729692343that's closer to how i saw her sprite art, yeah. fucking UNF, good god
>>729692781You have a 1:12 chance of getting the no underwear Lash when you open her up.
>>729693021call me your attorney, because i like those odds
>>729693021Is the carpet as fluffy as the drapes?
>>729692634>new Advance Wars but it's a gatcha and Lash gets visibly curvier if you don't log in to claim the daily snack.I even like skinny better, but it was a funny thought>>729692078Yeah, I remember it being like that.Still, seeing it I could imagine having a Kamidori Alchemy Meister level game, as in a game mostly like Advance Wars, just upped to the next level with regards to gameplay systems and presentation.
>>729693598>new Advance Wars but it's a gatcha [...]dammit anon, you can't just pit my disgust for gacha against my love of soft women like that. it's evil. it's turn 1 and some FAGGOT is already moving twice and killing all my shit.
>>729693598>visibly fatter>set sprite width (current sprite width * 1.1)I'M TIRED OF THE JAPS NOT KNOWING HOW TO FUCKING DRAW FATTIESREAD, YOU INDUSTRIOUS LITTLE FELLOWS. READ
>>729662518I was so fucking mad after they shelved the series. Days of Ruin had a lot of problems but the unit balance and selection was the best in the series imo. I can't believe they left it where it was, what a fucking shame.>>729677978I to this day still remember the final mission, what fucking bullshit that was. But the multiplayer was fucking great, even better than Dual Strike imo because the powers were (generally) not busted.
Dear Britland. Why did you make your plane pregnant?Love, Bluemerica.
>>729681915>>729676647>>729670610never understood what their deal was with the weird bent spine look most characters had
>>729694442the curve
>>729689265I agree, for this exact reason. But also who the fuck in these teams are still saying this bullshit? These companies need to start listening to the people that say this shit and then find a convenient time to axe them, at least if they're interested in making a buck and pleasing gamers.
>>729694442drawings looks stiff and boring standing straight there's no expression specially in the anime art style where shapes and shadows are simplified to make them easy to redraw consistenly 10000 times
>>729694702the guy seething WAS axed, which is why he ran to the bald man to leak details about the game
>>729694357can I talk about BW covers for a second>US cover art: stylized, hand-painted art (by the androidarts guy, iirc) depicting the already chibi ingame models>PAL cover art: the same shit but red, because the sun has set on the Anglo Empire>JP cover: Beefcake Slabthrust and the Angry Not Battlefield Guys with some random stock art in the backgroundwhat the fuck? did they accidentally swap all the covers before release, shit's backwards
The best Advance Wars-like game is Triangle Strategy
>>729694357i unfortunately don't actually find it very fun to play (the controls, maybe) but i'll always love battalion wars for its weapon and vehicle designs and jokes, shit makes me giggle in the best kind of "/k/ photobashing contest results" manner. especially since IIRC the devs were british so i'm assuming all the jokes about shitty Russian gear and Bong tea and marmalade obsession and unfeeling, machine-fucking Germans were in the original dev teams' designs and not jut one translator afterwards>red moon? blue void? black bush? nah fuck that, WESTERN FRONTIER VS THE TUNDRAN TERRITORY featuring AKs for everyone and ushankas glued to their headsit's so silly, and so distinctly british in style that it's the second thing on my list of "notable british war games," after Cannon Fodder
>>729694926Ah, that is true you're right. At the end of the day a lot of these studios need to keep trimming the fat, some of the greatest games in history were made by dozens of people rather than hundreds or thousands.
>>729695665Absolute banger designs the whole team has, even the old Snifit Sturm design
>>729694442It is known as dynamics. Pictures of people in genuine natural appearance tend to look drab and plain. They are images you are familiar with and do not care about. Cartoons and animation, on the other hand, are by nature highly dynamic and animated. It is expected that even in a relaxed state they would be highly expressive.
I have a confessionI don't think the remake's artstyle or designs were all that bad even if it's a clear downgrade. I especially think the maps have a war diorama aesthetic was actually fairly charming and fit the saturday-morning cartoon vibe of the first two games' plots
>>729694928The biggest redpill is that localization ruins everything. It's not east or west. Localizers are all scum.
>>729692078This reminds me of this eroge.
>>729697079That's not appropriate armour for combat
