Nintendo doing Wind Waker after that tech demo

But Wind Waker was (mostly) fantastic and the art style really played well with the humor and attitude of the game. Then we got the Linkin Park version of Zelda which somehow some people think is better than WW.

windwaker was an embarrassment

sad that a game developed in a years time blew one that got 3-4 years out of the water

I don't really mind that part of Cross. My problems with it are on its own merits, namely the babby tier infinite resource combat system and the horribly paced story/exposition (you get like 75% of the plot randomly dumped on you in the last 25% of the game).

Never played these games, what's so bad about it

The Main cast gets killed off-screen by a shitty villain AT THE END OF THEIR OWN GAME just so they could make a sequel

Was this a Big FUCK YOU from Square yo Nintendo or what?

windwaker had the perfect art-style for a zelda game.

it's a game for General Audiences, there's no point in trying to make it "mature" or "dark", Unless you've got autism.

no i'm talking overall how ww is shit

Konami: We're going to like some literal who western studio to make silent hill from now on

I applaud shitting on fanbases.

Fans are mostly morons or the mentally ill, only they care that much about silly little fantasy stories, and just because you like something doesn't mean you have some ownership of it or that the creator of it owes you. The creators need to bring you back to reality every now and again by "shitting on you" and God bless them for doing that.

It was a fuck you to anyone who thought time machines were capable of helping you fix everything with no repercussions.

I liked Chrono Cross though

>watch this video on youtube,playback has been disabled on other websites

i didnt even wanna shitpost in this thread anyway...

>horribly paced story/exposition (you get like 75% of the plot randomly dumped on you in the last 25% of the game).

That is like the standard fare for japanese storytelling a lot of the time. Not saying it was good or anything but shit is far from random since a lot of fucking things aimed at general audiences are stupidly structured like that a lot of the time.


and for general audiences i mean more on the side of the dumb side of general

This, the Silent Hill franchise was more abused than a crack whore.
A lot of people shit on Konami for fucking Kojima, but no one remembers how they shat on Silent Hill.

While I agree that Wind waker is a good game, getting hyped by this tech demo

and then getting pic related was such a let down

...

>Kill Crono, Marle, Lucca and probably Frog
>Turn Robo into a computer
>Turn Schala into Lavos
>Erase Magus out of existence
>Get Serge, the mc of Cross, ruin EVERYTHING.

Who the fuck thought this was a great idea?

I thought Lucca was the only surviving member of the original posse.

Lucia started an orphanage that burned down later.

>the new MvC's "nobody remembers the X-men"
>Overwatch limited time lootboxes
>take two shutting down GTA modding
>Fallout 4's season pass
>aliens: colonial marines
>Johnny Gat's death in Saint's Row 3
>CoD: Modern Warfare Remastered
>Tony Hawk's pro skater 5
>mario sticker star and that other one
>literally anything Konami has done in the last few years
>Golden sun dark dawn
>dungeon keeper mobile

that got BTFO including children by Lynx you mean.

I'm a fan of WW's graphical style and wish the series would go back to it but I loathe the bobble head art style. I dream of a game with WW's simple three tone cel shading and LttPs art style.

Never ever :(

whoa, that was pretty fucking bad, even the animations. Thank god Nintendo had actual taste back then.

Magus appears in Radical Dreamers,

Also, i haven't played this game, what happens in this?

In chrono trigger the main characters basically become invincible time lords and kill a planet eating space god. Along the way while traveling through time they come to an ancient kingdom that is secretly being controlled by the planet eater. This is like, mid way through the game. While exploring said kingdom, there is this joke of a boss that is a member of the royal family. He is your standard comedic relief mid-boss, he summons these weak as shit mini bosses to defend himself and you push his shit in twice.

It is assumed he dies with the rest of the ancient kingdom when you blow up their magic power source and server their connection with the planet eater and the whole kingdom dies.

This worthless piece of shit who is canonically weaker than the main cast some how manages to land in the same time period as the main casts' home time period, he arrives in a small town with literally 3 buildings and 10 npcs and some how turns them into a giant fucking army which then proceeds to steam roll the kingdom of your main characters and kills them.


It's absolute bullshit.

I would post some examples of Bungie shitting on their fans but honestly their entire legacy is comprised of shitting on their fans

I don't know how accurate it is, but I once read an article that explained that contrary to what we view as a standard 3 act structure, Japanese storytelling defaults to a 4 act structure. The first two acts are basically the same, then the third act introduces something crazy out of nowhere that had nothing to do with the first two acts, and then act 4 is supposed to harmonize everything as a whole. Again, it could be bullshit, but when I read that it made sense why a lot of Japanese games turn into plot-dumps somewhere in the last half and endings often lack "payoff."

I know its hard because we got no other games past Cross but I always felt it was important to keep in mind that this is just one timeline. There are timelines where Crono and pals do just fine and Porre knows their fucking place and keeps to themselves.

Just a shame the only sequel we get is in the shittiest timeline.

>Crono and co fight through a literal army of Fiends to get to Magus
>Oh no these weak as shit humans are too much
:( guess we better give up
I can't believe you're actually defending this.

Nope, kidnapped and killed.
In what regard? A lot of shit happens in CC.

The entire ending of CC is turning everything into a single timeline though.

Why does Lynx use the regular boss theme both times you fight him? They should have remixed this
youtube.com/watch?v=Eo1r_BapDP8

I'm talking about Radical Dreamers

Was it? Fuck it's been decades for me. I thought it was just merging the two timelines pertinent to CC.

RD is kind of weird, some of the plot things that occur in it don't even carry over. Basically Surge (who speaks here), Kid, and Gil (Magus) wish to find the frozen flame as it said to grant any wish. The thing is Masato Kato (the main writer of the series) never intended it to tie into CT originally.

Radical Dreamers is implied in Chrono Cross to be another alternate timeline. There's a reference to it in Chronopolis somewhere.

>Not in a million years

...

I was waiting for this lel

Was the game actually bad?

>this happened at E3, i.e. professionals show their products to other professionals (at least that's how it should be)

Chrono Cross beats out even Diablo 3 as the all time worst game for maintaining a sense of tone and 'feel' as its predecessors had.

Chrono Trigger was about smashing through time to change the fate of the world. What was Cross about?

saving schala for really real this time even if we have to break reality a few times and murder the
trigger crew to get her back

Literally all I wanted to do in ORAS was tackle the battle frontier with the Pokemon I had property bred and trained I'm Gen 6. I would've looked past everything else.
Fuck Game Freak. I'll admit I enjoyed SM though, which makes me a minority over here.

It was vulgar and disgusting and stupid, but some of the art design was still pretty neat and the base combat was fun enough. Its worth 10$ but not one penny more

Technically she still is somewhat lost. At the end it is suppose to be her in modern day Tokyo looking for you, the player. While she's saved from Lavos she is seperated from Surge, meaning Kid is seperated from Surge.

based square chrono cucks on suicide watch

Super Smash Bros Brawl was designed to shit on competitive 64 and melee players.

Rightfully so

At least they redeemed themselves with 4,even with twitchfags complaining of it not being melee2

Yes. Bad for a DMC game and bad for a game under any other franchise.

>up the ante
The most fucking repulsive phrase in the video games industry

For anyone who owned a Wii U.

>(you get like 75% of the plot randomly dumped on you in the last 25% of the game).
Of which 50% is dumped on you in the last 5%, at least.
