So?

>"It's a nice change of pace for the series."

Disgaea 5 did that right.

>>it's a game for newcomers and fans alike

A prequel or reboot can be precisely this.

See Yakuza 0 as an example.

>We wanted to streamline some of the mechanics to appeal to a wider audience

>It's a game for The Dud

>I want a new game that's exactly the same as the old one!

Why not just play the old one?

Fuck off.

New content, retard

when will it end?

>"We think it was the right decision to take the series in the new direction and hope fans will appreciate it"

what game?

Red Orchestra 2. Added fucking leveling system for weapons and character, released it when CoD BLOPS was dropped and it consequently bombed

>WE WANT NEW CONTENT
>ok here is new mechanics and features
>REEEEE THEY CHANGED THE GAME
>ok here is just some new weapons
>REEE THEY ARE OVERPOWERED OR UNDERPOWERED
>ok here are some new levels
>REEEE NEW LEVELS RUIN THE COMFY OR ATMOSPHERIC FEEL OF THE GAME

who are quoting

whom are you quoting?

90% of the time the new mechanic changes are bad. Better just use the same game but with new levels/enemies

>getting triggered by an obvious tongue in cheek joke

>not dumbing your games with down with each installment means you're making the same game over and over again
that's not how it works

>also, we added lootcrates

>bombed
It did just fine. Had about the same amounts of players if not more than ROOST.

Well they sure did a good job of attracting new players since all the ROOST guys more or less stopped playing.

>lootcrates

Newfags detected

>the world feels alive

not an argument you have no sources to your quotes

>New game in the series caters to people that dont play/buy their game

FUCK YOU

>n-n.newfags!

save yourself the embarrassment and stop posting

I dunno. I like nu-XCOM

>this time you're in control of a female protagonist

>completely change and dumb down mechanics but old characters come back
>"It's just like the original game"

it's a good game just not a good XCOM game

>"Our game has the first gay character in video games."

>"Our game has the first transgender character in video games"

Goddammit BIoware and Ubisoft.

Diablo 3

I'd prefer it if they limited RNG reliance and raised the overall difficulty to compensate. Other than that, XCOM is alright.

>see that mountain?

>Nintendo doesn't know who to market their upcoming game too
>"If you're a Smash Bros. fan, you should check it out!"
They've done this twice now, with Xenoblade Chronicles X and Metroid Samus Returns

who are you quoting?

>open live stream of game
>Streamer has his own terrible fucking music playing over the game

>Not in a million years

>We here at [unrelated new studio working on the franchise's reboot] have always been big fans of [series] ever since we were kids!

Nothing good has ever been made by grown up blind fanboys

>open live stream of game
Why?

>it's a game for newcomers and fans alike
>except for fans part obviously, but we won't accept it until sales flop

>It's another frogposter

Who actually is the first gay character in video games? This guy?

are you sure this is a good idea to shitpost this hard just a week after drv3 premiere?

>We don't need the old fans anymore.
>It's the fans fault our game flopped!

>have always been big fans of [series] ever since [period of time]

One of the most meaningless shill phrases I've heard.

>"This game is shit because its not the old game: HD edition"

>what are implications

God you newfags are retarded

>The game market has evolved, now, more than half of gamers are women and we decided to adapt [franchise] to this reality

>SMT IV is the Dark Souls of Persona games

Citizen Kane of souls genre.

>obvious tongue in cheek joke
>zero tombs in either new TR game

You can always be sure when devs say the word "innovating," it means they are getting rid of cool shit.

Bethesda being a good example. Literally every new TES or Fallout game removes multiple things.

Here is a (you) dumb doggo.

Any game that shits on their core fanbase in order to widen the demographic deserve to fail.

What games do this

>We added microtransactions to the single player so newcomers can have an easier time in the game

I remember seeing some concept art for Rise of the Tomb Raider where she was wearing her short shorts + blue top outfit. What happened to that, or was I dreaming? I hate nu-Lara as much as everyone else and was under the impression they were trying to claw back the fans with the sequels, but all i've seen from Rise was her looking miserable in a winter coat.

has there ever been a case where game tried to innovate too much, becoming just one bloated mess

>appeal to a wider audience

When devs say "innovating" or "a new direction", it's just shorthand for "we know exactly what you want but we aren't making it, fuck you".

Yu-Gi-Oh. Although their "innovations" were heavily influenced by Judaism.

>we removed this feature in the remake since only a small ammount of players do post-game content

fucking Fable

...

I don't get why they do this.
Everyone is a newcomer to something if people are interested in the series they'd just try out the first game or whatever. Just shows how out of touch people are.

Motherfucking DmC.

>we’re bringing the series back to its roots while still keeping things fresh!

>it's a game for newcomers and fans alike
>it's the fucking final game in a series
Why?

Because retarded normalfags aka your average consumer will always and I repeat ALWAYS play the newest installment.

>"We want the _____ audience."

>Game 1 has feature
>Game 2 removes feature
>Gam3 brings back feature but as a microtransaction
> G4me makes the microtranstion a loot box system
>Game 5 is cancelled due to poor sales, if only fans of the series cared about the game oh well

>Then they try one more time and their studio gets shut down after they're forced to patch the game causing tons of embarrassment

Who are you quoting?

that's a load of bologna

Implications were originally derived from quoting, and the format allows for the > character to be used as a precedent without quoting, as the implication of the replied's statement contains the information.
If everyone quoted to respond, it would be a clusterfuck. Implying shortens the space needed to respond.

>We simplified the mechanics to allow new players to get the edge they need

Mass Effect?

>"hey remember X? Well now it's back!"
>it's totally different and not in a good way.
Every time.

yepperino

Fallout 4

Who are you quoting?

>Game 3 of this story based trilogy is a great place for new player to jump in!

I honestly hate this more than DLC.

at least DLC brought new content.
Loot crates is the game taking what should have been gear you get by playing and put it in a box that you have to buy with real money.
