Will this franchise ever return to its former glory?

Will this franchise ever return to its former glory?

What glory?

When was that?

It was never good

Just like Sonic.

I never played the second one, but Burst really was never that good. It was clunky as all fuck. Give me big titty musou amy day of fhe week.

Here is hoping that the next Action title will turn out the best
PBS could turn out pretty fun, too

i want to berate, beat, and abuse the snek

What's wrong with it?

The Sony games suck.

Some people (like that faggot boco) say they want the serious to be more about serious stories than titty ninja fanservice. They say the new game about the girls having water gun fights isn't serious enough.

What's the chance of Daidoji becoming a teacher at Hanzo school in the next game?

Don't know what you mean. The first 3DS game sucked. Graphics and movements were too bad for a fanservice game. The second one was good and everything after has been good.

>Senran Kagura
>Glory
Pick one

>EV
>BA
>good

They're actually pretty fun. I dunno why you'd say they suck.

...

Never played BA, don't have any interest in rhythm games. Buts whats wrong with EV.

while the first game had alot of fanservice, it also had a decent story where the characters were not just simple 2D 1gag waifu's.
In the newer games it went full-on fanservice and threw the character personalities straight into the trashbin and replaced it with generic moe bullshit (yumi) or just turned a character into a one trick horse (katsuragi's whole character has turned into grab other peoples boobs, "hilarity"ensues).
And lets not even get started on adding LITERALLY braindamaged characters to the roster.

You mean the second one while having playable gameplay the games have been piss easy and story/character interactions changed to that of a comedy show.

Sk2 is the only game that has tried to stay a somewhat challenging game continuing with the serious side of the story and im my case even though I do want the new game it saddens me that they are now mixing both stories into 1. Thus elimimating the one with the more serious story that mostly focused on homura squad being renegades helping out hanzo girls.

I wish sk3 came out for switch though

What isn't wrong with EV?

How's Valkyrie Drive?

I don't know about glory, it started out mediocre and just got shittier and shittier. Even SK2 is a disjointed mess

THE BEST

I'd say their best action game to date.
certainly a stepup from the senran vita games.
good luck getting that platinum though, the grind for it is some genuine bullshit.

Pretty good gameplay is better then any SK game

If you like SK I'd recommend it

...

It was always a generic beat em up with fanservice. It was never good.

No, probably not.

Thanks for nothing, Japan.

What glory?

Burst was terrible.
SV was ok.
BA was mediocre.
DC did some things right but was still ultimately mediocre and the one that gets overrated the most.
EV could have been better if they didn't try and "balance" it for multiplayer.

I like the series but it's never been great. The games are just barely passable for what they are no matter what genre they try to be.

If you're one of those people who complain about the story getting too silly then you're fucking retarded. The narrative just feels hamfisted as fuck when it tries to be serious and DC, despite having a more serious plot, still wasn't anything special in the long run and had barely any character development to speak of.

Seeing as the series was born because some dude wanted to see 3d boob, I think its fine as is OP.

I don't know why they thought the fanbase was interested in multiplayer. They should've just made a local coop mode and leave the online out of SV and EV. Also keeping the fun heart stories (in EV) behind spongy stands hidden throughout the main boring campaign was terrible.

I've enjoyed all but Bon Appetit', because I hadn't played it yet. I mean, do you honestly pick up a anime/weeb game like Senran and expect anything more than what is given?

>somewhat challenging game
Maybe if you don't have hands or something. none of the games have ever been particularly hard.

Some idiots do apparently
The point of these kinds of games is always tits and ass with gameplay and very occasional story

I never understand those people. Like anyone who ask about Neptunia. It's not a series you'll seriously play if you're looking for a solid RPG, it's for seeing cute girls do cute things with occasional video game references and memes. You play Senran for the girls and seeing tits and ass. You play idolm@ster for raising an idol star, etc.

Because they can't comprehend a game being just for fun rather than "super serious and realistic narrative" that western games try to be

No, I picked up Burst expecting exactly that and it was a bad game with a simple but nice characters and story, now it's just bad everything, not even the fanservice in the games themselves is good.

This

And Neptunia has never change the personalities or mood of the games.it has stayed consistant

So this is what happens in SK threads when nobody discusses the girls, eh? Kinda cool to see

No, devs figured out they don't have to actually try anymore

>Maybe if you don't have hands or something. none of the games have ever been particularly hard.
I think the final Asuka vs Homura fight in SV is the only time I had to actually try in these games

This, seriously. Also the gameplay may have been bad but I still managed to have plenty of fun with it and the soundtrack was rather enjoyable too. Ended up caring about the characters enough that I wanted to see them grow.

>tfw you will never get a titjob from Asuka and Homura

I actually had quite some difficulties in all the games, most relating to Daidouji and/or Rin.
In Burst there was the Hebijo Fight against Dai and her Wooden Mecha Gang
(also most of the later missions on Frantic were pretty hectic)
In SV it was the last fight in Dais and Rins Heart Story
In BA it was everytime Dai and Rin showed up
In EV it was actually the last Ryoki fight, but that was mainly due to just absolute bullshit

>Ended up caring about the characters enough that I wanted to see them grow.

This. But now they're eternally stuck doing nothing, flanderized beyond redemption, and pushed to the side to promote Goddess Emperor Yumi.

Dude,don't talk shit about my waifu.

Being a true Yumi fan on Sup Forums must be suffering

>former glory?
They fucked up when they decided a ninja game had to be a hack'n'slash game, Ninja Gaiden provides enough tits and ninja flipouts for a bunch of titty girls to come and do the exact same thing.

Enjoy the tits since it's the only thing it has going for.

Why the fuck is it so hard to understand that people want more out of a game than fapping?
If all I want is tits and ass, I will watch porn.
The creator himself said, that he wants more than just fanservice in his games, so why the fuck would someone be fine with less?
Nobody would complain, if the series would have been shit from the start, but as it is, many people actually got hooked on the characters, the story and even the gameplay.
If you're fine with eating shit, then fair enough, but don't act like everybody else should be fine with it.

Ikaruga, Yomi, and Yozakura should be added on there too.

Glory? It was always just waifubait. Like all fapenese games.

Your waifu, mixed with Japan being full of whiny crybabies, squandered the series' entire potential.

the Rin fight was a pain in the ass too. SUPAH NINJA telebamfing you nonstop until you got the rhythm of throwing up a parry down pat.

Behead those who praise Yumi.

Better yet, behead Yumi.

Are there any good SK games?

SK2 was the closest thing to being made as a good game.
Otherwise, not really.

Yeah the last battle between Homura and Asuka and fighting Rin as Daidoji were pretty tough. SV has a bizarre difficulty curve, where there are points with big difficulty spikes, but other moments are really easy

You know Shinovi Versus has a hard mode right. I died a bunch of times against those ninja that burrow underground and shoot up they take away like half your health. One time I died in the first 10 seconds from those guys shooting up then some other ones all rolling together and hitting me,

Yes, all of them after 1.

...

>Homura acting as if she is not the lewdest perv in all the promo art
I can see right through your trick, crab!

She just wants to bond with the other ninjas

I dropped the series after SV, what's this Yumi stuff? Are they trying to turn her into the new Asuka or something?

This is a really weird bonding process.

Pretty much. They even joke about it ingame

I want to go grocery shopping with Katsuragi!

She has the character type that the japanese eat up. Gotta keep these otaku filled with disposable income happy, so they put her on the covers and on most of the promo material, like Marvel would do to Wolverine back in the day.

So she's just being forced as the new special MC girl instead of Asuka? Doesn't really seem like a big deal. Are the people who hate her like that Boco tripfag just Asukafags who are salty? I mean, I don't particularly like Yumi either, but why is her being the special one worse than when it was Asuka?

I want to puncture Ikaruga's lungs.

>like marvel would do to wolverine
>yumi's character in EV Ikaruga's story was named yumiverine in the localization
>MARVELous

It all makes sense now.

Who's this Senran?

Because it's affecting sales. The second DS game flopped in Japan, because--and this was proven--YUMI WASNT IN IT.

And also that it was "too hard", but that a whole other issue.

Holy shit, deepest lore.

Bullet from Blazblue.

A fusion of Yuyaki and Miyabi

Both the 3ds title are fucking shit. Small ass roster. Terrible graphic. 15 fps gameplay.

I need more vidya girls done in the Nan style.

...

>acting as if a smaller roster is a bad thing
lol

As much as I hate how god awful Nan's waists are right now, at least he stopped drawing those zits finally.

Pretty much, also what this guy ()
said.

Too bad SK2 doesn't have her on the cover to make a "Yumi does not appear in this game" joke. With some photoshop magic I can try and make a mockup cover of "Yumi and her Senran Kagura", though, I'll give it a try.

that final Yoma fight never ever
the girls will never graduate
they will be forever stuck in their current state
fighting each other, not fighting evil
original plotline is confirmed over
the story will never progress
Versus shit won

>less is ok
kill yourself

SV and EV were both shit because of that - not enough time and manpower to write proper backstories or even dialogues for the characters, so instead we got a bunch of flat, 1-dimensional characters that are each defined by literally 1 fucking trait.

At least Burst and DC had proper character development.

NOBODY fucking play these game for "story" retard

Not anymore, yeah.

It was never good in the first place

Just remove Yumi and the whole Gessen and you're set.
But especially remove Yumi, that boring piece of shit.

>I didn't like it therefore it's objectively bad

>wanted the Hanzo trading cards just for the Ikaruga set only
>gets New Hebijo, the least group I wanted
>Hanzo is rare to find

It's not fair.

Says you. The fan service was a nice bonus. But that's all it should have been. A bonus.

dammit do i have to start showing up to threads even earlier

i want to hug, fug, and marry the snek

>wanted anyone but Gessen because of their extremely meh choice of cards
>got Hanzo
>the one with a lot of nice of cards

I was definitely more than OK with that.

I still haven't even opened them.

Post clothed and comfy Senrans

...

smelly senran socks

...

>tfw Senrans make for better cute material than lewd

IKR? Never thought I'd agree with that but things change. Maybe PBS will shake things up if it ends up being lewder
