silent hill fans have been getting raped for decades, when they thought they could finally rest, the rape machine was turned on again, and this time with a modern flavor of rape
>>733503283It's not rape if they like it
>>733505135This. GF is just giving fans what they want.
>>733503283not worst, but the Yakuza franchise is getting the same treatment
>>733503283You can't rape the willing. The fanbase and gamefreak also deserve each other to the end of times.
Snoys
>>733503283final fantasy probablynot a single good game since the PS2instead they turned Bahamut into a literal faggot while turning the gameplay into a button masher in hopes GTA players will buy it
>>733503283There isn't one, I've never seen a franchise where everything is scalped including the games being sold directly to consumers. $100 for ZA is a joke, $20 for FR or LR is a joke, if you want merchandise then that's scalped too and the old games can be over $150 from retro scalpers.I'm not sure if it's because Pokemon is full of furries who are known to spend exorbitant amounts for their fetish or what but it's baffling. There is seriously no other fanbase that takes it in the ass as hard, and the games don't even have money poured into them. ZA cost $10 million to make. There are indie games with bigger budgets that are charging $20-$30 instead of $100. The furry tax on Pokemon is outrageous.
>>733503283tendies in general
>>733507842For some reason they thought they had to move away from turn based combat for the IPad kiddies. But there’s still very much a place for traditional FF combat. Two of the last three GotY winners were turn based.
>>733503283nintendoit's the same shit, but spanning across multiple franchises
Rape implies no consent. Pokemon fans happily devour whatever they're fed.
>>733508235Final Fantasy was trending towards faster based action gameplay since 4 had ATB but Final Fantasy 11 was such a massive deal in Japan that it shifted the series trajectory and pushed it even more towards action. FF11 was their highest grossing game until FF14 and it inspired so many other games, especially "offline MMOs" like White Knight Chronicles and Xenoblade. Final Fantasy 14 being such a massive money maker is how you end up with FF16 which borrows so much from FF14 and is another "offline MMO" sort of game but whereas WKC and XBC are copying old school MMOs, FF16 is copying newer ones. And to be fair, action RPGs are some of the biggest and most popular games in the world right now and the whole AAA formula is about action games with RPG elements. It's the most popular genre of game, but that means there's much more competition compared to turn based which is pretty fucking dead now outside of mobile.
>>733505109Silent hill fans can just play the first 4 games and have fun. Pokemon is a brand dedicated to religious consumerism. The average Pokemon fan will buy every single game, watch every single anime, buy every single card, and buy every single toy. When you ask them what their favorite Pokémon game is they wont tell you because they dont have one, and having a favorite would be sacrilege (literally) because it means your heart is not dedicated to all the products
They love to be raped so much they want more

>>733508458How is 16 an MMO? It's sidequests are no different from any other game.
>>733503283You are right
>>733503283literally every gacha
>>733510114>silent hill fans can ignore the things i don't like>pokemon fans must consume everything because i say so
>>733511580All of your damage comes from abilities on cooldowns like in 14, you want to cycle through them in a certain order in order to maintain an optimal DPS rotation. The DMC combat is the window dressing but the core combat is more similar to something like Xenoblade. The sidequests do veer more towards "collect 5 bear asses" than other games too.

>>733508458They need to take the 7rb combat system as the base (the way the old ATB system was from 4-9) and iterate off that. No need to reinvent the wheel every game.
I, PiKEKchu-sama, mascot of the HIGHEST-GROSSING FRANCHISE and JOBBER of the vidya industry humbly kneel to:Shuntaro Furukawa-sama, former employee of The Pokémon Company, current Nintendo CEO, and my master.TPC-sama, my one and only true love and other master.Atlus-sama, who I shamelessly ripped off via SMT for my gameplay only for them to strike back with CHADsona.PocketPair-sama, who my daddy Furukawa warned me about for they're developing Palworld.Enix-sama, who easily manhandled me with Dragon Quest Monsters.Yugi Muto and Kazuki Takahashi-sama, who anally raped me and first awakened my wish to become a TCG and merchandising franchise first and foremost.Junichi Masuda-sama, who argued with me and his employees at GameFreak so hard, his departure started to cause the quality of my games to decrease and got me attracted to MEN...Squaresoft-sama, whose incomparabily soulful JRPGs in the 90s crushed my ass-womb entirely to the point I STILL cannot SUPRASS them, even 22 years after merging with Enix-sama.Bamco-sama, whose hour-long beatings from the recent Digimon games gave me uncontrollable orgasms so massive even the anal rape from Furukawa-sama can't compare.Itoi-sama, for his Mother Trilogy is the superior JRPG series of my Nintendo MASTERS, and has single-handedly inspired more Indie RPGs than even I have...Level-5-sama, whose power I am scared of (I am glad they stopped making Yokai Watch and didn't kill my beloved masters, as I was too scared to help them…)Sandfall-sama, who revenge-raped and mindbroke me and my fanbase via E33 from the sheer pleasure of being made into an onahole after Legends Z-A FLOPPED in France. (I was so sad about it...)and finally, Monolithsoft-sama, for they will FUCK ME up on the world stage once they release their Legend of Zelda RPG and expose me and GameFreak for the frauds we are. (Arceus I hope so…)
>>733503283>Name a more raped fanbaseThe 4chan userbase, just look how much they get away with, awful moderation and a worse captcha system every 1-2 years that made the previous awful one look good in comparison.
>>733511870I disagree. Sonic fans get hired when they are make good enough fangames and if there was a decision Sonic fans really didn't like, such as movie sonic's initial design they will cause enough of a scene to get that corrected. The games are still not perfect by any means but they do have standards unlike pokemon fans and let the games which deserve to flop flop
>>733507893Never made that connection before, the prices for everything in the brand is whack
>>733507034Not even remotely the same thing. Yakuza is leaning into the wackier shit because it objectively performed better but the games are still high quality. Gamefreak has been shitting out low quality garbage for generations at this point

>>733513045I think he's that resident /vp/ poster who brings up bw out of nowhere just to shit on it at every opportunity.

>>733513565>have taste>prefer gen 5 to modern pokemonYes.>no one mentioned turn based combatThe image spends most of its time talking about turn based combat. Pokemon is "listening to the fans", why do you think every single gen it gets easier to catch a full varied party and raise them into competitive ready forms?
>>733510114You say this as if the most replayed pokemon shit on jewtube aren't the older games like emerald, platinum, black 2, etc and fangames or romhacks lol

>>733516325The enemy is holding a bow so it doesn't have much in the way of melee behavior right now, but it also isn't smart enough to even try and make distance. So it sits around waiting for an opportunity to spend like 5 seconds drawing and firing the bow at melee range.>but why does it take so long to kill a basic enemy that can't do anythingBecause you're supposed to be doing "epic physics combos" for like 10% more damage.

>>733510114I find Pokemon fans specifically like the gen above whatever you say was the last good gen and they will argue endlessly until you concede and say "Fine, maybe XY is an underated cult classic and belongs with the DS games"
>>733517373I don't think anyone who likes Gen 7 will argue that it's part of the same era of "good Pokemon" as like, Gen 1, nor will anyone be crawling out of of the woodwork to tell them Gen 7 is basically the same as Gen 8 if they proclaim such.

>>733503283Halo, not even a questioni still don't quite get the feeling GF hates it's fans, 343 ABSOLUTELY does
World of Warcraft maybe? Apparently it's been bad since Burning Crusade (I think this is the second expansion) but people keep subbing monthly no matter how butchered the lore and characters get.The fact I need to name an MMO to be on the same level as mazed as Pokefags says a lot
>>733517603Came to post Halo, but desu Halo has been dead for years. A lot of people (me included) just peaced out after Halo 4 and didn't look back. Modern Halo is 343 puppetting chief's corpse and casting etsy hexes and shit trying to bring him back to life. You'll rarely see Halo fans defending 343 or nuhalo. Nobody plays infinite, everyone is still playing 1-3 on the MCC. Halo is post-cope. Conversely, GF is like a fat guy shitting on a plate and the mentally retarded pokefags defend it to their dying breath. They will fight and die for that plate of shit. They'll attack you for correctly identifying it as shit. They are truly raped, mindbroken suckers of the lowest calibre
>>733517373It’s all the same shit except the Legends games, people do not get mad about the gameplay they get mad because the series hasn’t developed the setting how THEY think it should be
>>733517603Game Freak knows it's fanbase are retards, so they treat them as such
Last Pokémon I played was Pokemon: Sun (2016) and I thought it was pretty bad, how bad are things nowadays for pokefans? other than yesterdays virtual console FR and LG for 20 bucks each.
>>733518602You know how for 20 years of Pokemon, "transferring" a Pokemon meant you would get the Pokemon in the next game?Yeah now some of the Pokemon won't work in the next game at all no matter what. You have to just wait until they make a new game where that Pokemon works.
>>7335186028 gen was a step down a little, but still full of good ideas in the swsh(like wild zones), also had legends arceusgen 9 is peak and that everyone dream of since gameboy days(not gba, gameboy)Of course there many bw kids who constantly scream about how games should be voiced, having full cg scenes, focus on training pokemon instead of collecting, and other garbage opinions like "2 version per game are bad, fuck people who want to trade I hate it and people who interact with others", but luckly GF ignored them for nowZA is pretty good too, fun map to run through and nice gameplay changes
>>733518602>Last Pokémon I played was Pokemon: Sun (2016) and I thought it was pretty bad, how bad are things nowadays for pokefans?It's gotten 10x....maybe even 20x worse since Sun and Moon and no I'm not exaggerating

>>733521274>no pokemon fan has a favorite because uh, look at this video on graphicsThird worlder.
>>733507893This is the most perfect post right here. I've said this before, but pokemon is the single biggest laughing stock in the gaming industry right now. The franchise has no real competition, and its few actual competitors like Digimon or Yugioh are just shoved to the wayside and barely get any attention. Any attempt a game TRIES to be like pokemon (e.g. catching fictional monsters and having them battle) is just seen as a bootleg/ripoff and Nintendo gives you a C&D. This franchise is like a fucking parasite on the world sucking up all the attention from other franchises that actually NEED it. We wouldn't be in this mess today if Nintendo actually tard-wrangled Game Freak and this franchise back in the 90s instead of letting it take over the world like it did.
>>733518602The games have gotten soooooo much worse

>>733518602Terrible>LGPENot bad but worst version of Kanto, 7/10>SwShLiterally shit in every regard. Has the "wonderful" level design of sun/moon and the ugly empty open fields of scarlet/violet. The dex is the absolute worst the series has ever seen and despite all the dialog the story is one of the worst to be out in a video game. 4/10>PLAMy pick of the 3D games, maybe you could even try it, but it's ultimately underdeveloped in most regards. 6/10>BDSPDiamond/pearl (not platinum) but ugly. Not much else. Didn't play>SVAs alluded to, it's the empty open world meme with strange game design. The map is effectively split but the gyms don't scale and the "intended order" of them (level wise) is also split between those two sides. Makes this weird ass bell curve of difficulty. It also just looks terrible and ran terrible until the switch 2 patch gave it some better performance. But the dex is alright and so is the DLC so could be worse I guess. 5/10>PLZAAnswers the question of what if pokemon had MMO combat and was set in a single city. The combat is novel, not something I especially liked by the end but it's different at least. I thought the rogue mega bosses were kind of bad too. The city is completely nonsensical as a setting and everywhere you go the buildings look exactly the same. The story is yet another all time worst with so much time wasting dog shit like the whole camgirl arc yet leaves actual plot threads hanging to nowhere. 5/10
>>733521095it doesn't matter

>>733522054Correct
>>733521645>digimonMaybe if they consistently made good games.>yugiohYugioh is only a card game, not even a monster collector. How is it supposed to be competition for pokemon?>any attempt a game tries to be like pokemon is just seen as a bootleg/ripoff and nintendo gives you a c&dTemtem is doing fine, Yokai Watch was doing well until it just stopped one day, Coromon is out there. This is ignoring SMT which is another big name monster collector.
>>733518602SV is the worst Open World game I've ever played, that's the only one I can give you an answer for
>>733521964>pokemon hatersare you retarded or mentally ill the series has barely done the bare minimum besides slap an already establish gameplay onto theirs aka xenoblade 2 which literally takes the whole saying "slap a coat of paint on it" to heart, also why the fuck would you compare a game that also rabid fanbase of retards to a game that barely entered 1.0

Shame really liked second game. Also they literally decided to promote their two last games mostly on playstation(or just gave marketing rights to sony) including massive freebies that switch version didn't got. Not very smart move either, because kids don't fucking have ps4 in the first place.>>733522559>Fallout 76 has a massive fanbaseWhat a weird fucking copeAnd actually, never heard this one before
>>733522176>MH initially was a huge dealI agree that Stories is never going to compete with Pokemon (for a number of reasons) but MH was not initially a huge deal. Do they think World was the first game?
Its depressing how unfinished and barely functional SV was, then it became one of the best selling games in the series. How does this series still have old fansI don't like digimon but this is the only webm I have of SV anymore

>>733522945FUCKING KEK
>speaking about fallout in general you're literally talking about a series that been around for years despite coasting on its nostalgia to fags like you to spend 20 bucks on an old ass game that's been emulated on everything including a mri scanner just to own LE chuds when in reality, you're just making a stupid finical decision because you want to feel like a kid again
>>733507893I just found out that Pokemon fans pay $16 a year to store their Pokemon digitally and I don't even know anymore. I think the fanbase can't be saved, everyone sane needs to ignore the franchise and just let them do their own thing. You can't help them, they do not want to be helped. A fucking subscription for Pokemon storage. Crazy.
>>733503283Pokemon fans remind me of the scene in Fight Club where Brad Pitt is being throttled senseless by Lou the tavern owner, and he's just 'a giggling and laughing brandishing a big ole smile inbetween spitting out blood
>>733519684Please understand. 800 Pokemon on the 3DS is perfectly doable but 900 Pokemon on the Switch is far too big a task for a small indie team like Gamefreak
>>733512818was his first weapon already damaged or do weapons have that little durability since you can carry multiple at once?
>>733522923SV was a game so bad even GF couldn't be bothered finishing itthen it sold 20M+ copies because poketards won't play anything else
>>733524484>then it sold 20M+ copies because poketards won't play anything elseYou need to understand the depravity of the fan base. People will buy 10 copies of the game and 10 Switch consoles just to farm shinies.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx97fWGV5sI
>>733524773for me the most interesting part is how they insist on setting this massive arbitary collection checklist for each and every one they play through >finally, i've finished my shiny living dex on pokemon sword, including male, female, all evolutions of that pokemon, smallest and largest size possible>time to do it all over again in pokemon scarlet>and people say the game has no content? peh...
>>733524379It's a bone weapon from enemy camp, these last like two dozen hits. Most weapons of the same tier have more durability. But even then, expect like 20-40 in general, some weapon comes with modifier with higher durability. The game has a lot of flexibility in how you want to fight the enemies, some armor pieces give more attack power, along with food, there is a set giving more power to bone weapons, and if you sneak up on enemies, you can deal like 8x damage. Just going straight up smacking their faces is usually not the most fun way to fight.
>>733503283Excellent case study to demonstrate how autists have little to no standards for the media they consume. I hypothesize a positive correlation between decay of a franchise and the concentration of autists in the fanbase.
