Don't even know what the fuck is on the right so... right.

earthbound can suck my ass
fuck those creepy beedy eyes

Ico Trilogy
Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian

This is genuinely the weirdest comparison I've ever seen on this board, it just doesn't make sense at all.
Ico stays forever and ever btw

Mate, do you get creeped out by Peanuts as well?

Filename

MAMMA MIA what a twist! I didn't payed attention lol
Still Ico trilogy wins for me

I never cared for the Mother games so that one can disappear.

pay*

right has better music
At least something .

never played ico so fuck ico

>Earthbound
>pretentious

In what way? Do you even know what that word means?

destroy Mother save Ico. The amount of cancer the Mother series has shat out is so unredeemable. I can live without one less Ultima clone and its cancer fanbase

>Earthbound and Ico trilogy is pretentious hipster bullshit now

Nothing is sacred here I see.

Earthbound is just nostalgia bait

It's Sup Forums

If it gets discussed to any depth here it's "Pretentious" if you don't like it.

Considering I only played the Mother, I choose Mother. Plus, completely unrelated to the quirkiness of the franchise, I love present-day America settings. RPGs are either Medieval fantasy, futuristic metropolis/ outer space, or a Mario-esque universe. I wish there were more without it resorting to something like Yiik hipstershit.

Riddle me this, if the fans who are fond of a series act pretentious, does that make the series pretentious? Choose wisely now.

Play Fallout series, they are also setting in modern day America

I really need to play the first two. Love NV and ok with 3. Can you really consider that true modern America since it has the post-apocalypse setting going on?

No Earthbound means no Undertale
That speaks for itself

to be fair, The Last Guardian was barely getting any hype on this board

I love Ico trilogy, but Ueda sometimes acts like a pretentious asshole in interviews. Also doesn't help the fact that his games are known for cryptic design choices and minimalism stories

Mother stays.

>The Mother series will forever be shit on because of the fucking stain on reality Undertale is
It isn't fair

It was a joke about the state of modern day America.
Glad you like the series though, don't bother playing 4
This is board is full of Nintenbros and Soulsfag, what did you except?

Because it's a bad and broken game

Sup Forums still loves M3, if any consolation.

Where's Xbox's hipster trilogy?

It has its flaws, but it's far from a "bad and broken game".
Actually it is one of the greatest technical achievements in terms of AI and world design I've ever seen in a video game.
inb4 "MUH ART" "PRENTENTIOUS HIPTER" "FAG"

MOTHER already ended, there's no need for another game, it's perfect the way it is

Ori
Ori 2
Ori 3

I like how things came in reverse
Earthbound Beginnings/The Last Guardian are barely playable
Earthbound/Shadow of the Colossus are the most popular entries
Mother 3/Ico are the best entries

Also Mother 3 and The Last Guardian's development hell

*Also on PC

damn

Destroy both.

that's not his question

Give it to me straight Sup Forums.
I've always heard good things about Earthbound. I've tried to play it. I've tried to like it. I've gotten as far as the first city, gone into the arcade place, died in like two hits from the freaks there, got bored, shut it off and forgot about it.
Is it one of those games that has to "click" with you? I've followed this routine several times now and it always ends the same. Am I doing something wrong? Am I expected to grind for exp first?

Reminder that Sup Forums actually liked Undertale before the game became popular and its fanbase became cancerous as fuck just like with any other series.

If Mother dies
>Retarded fanbase doesn't exist
>Mother 3 beggars who refuse to fucking just emulate the game won't exist
>Undertale won't exist

If the Team Ico trilogy dies
>The hilarious decade long wait for the Last Guardian and it's mediocre reception won't happen
>There may or may not be less artsy games and/or walking simulators, RiME definitely won't exist

Mother dies and Team Ico trilogy survives.

God I'm not sure because I think both are overrated to all hell.

Reminder that /ourguy/ Adam Sandler's favorite game is Shadow of the Colossus
I wonder what he thinks about the upcoming remake

kill yourself and never speak of retro games again

>>There may or may not be less artsy games and/or walking simulators, RiME definitely won't exist
Why people compare walking sim to Team Ico's games?

Can't wait for the Toby Fox trilogy

Destroy Ico/SotC/that new game that nobody even remembers

At least Mother is a solid series without shitty titles and also a fun game in itself

Ico and The Last Guardian are more or less "escort mission: the game". They are certainly much better than walking simulators, as they have actual mechanics and gameplay, but the atmosphere and structure of them has definitely influenced walking simulators.

>without shitty titles

Outstanding advice.

>I am 12 and therefore hate a game I never played solely because other people here hate it for the same reason

I don't know... beside some clear plagiarism like Rime I'can't think of any walking sim similar to a Team Ico's game.
Imho the only game that took Team Ico as a source of inspiration for its storytelling and world design si Dark Souls (and in general Souls game to be directed by Miyazaki)

Part of what makes Earthbound fun is exploration, and listening to the people in the world. Almost everyone has something funny, helpful or strange to say. Within the exploration you'll end up fighting more enemies. You simply can't skip fighting enemies and expect to beat the game if you know nothing about the game.

I thought the same thing

mother trilogy is dead forever,ico third game was garbage.

Mother is about some kids going on an adventure, nothing more. The boss battles, music and the seemingly pointless grinding are the medium the creator used to crate a setting.

He hasn't made a funny movie in like 15 years so he is irrelevant

He hasn't made a funny movie
FIXED*

It's a terrible game don't bother

how the fuck is mother a pretentious series

Easy, the right
Only shadow of colosuus was good

bump

Fuck you OP, why'd you have to go and pick my favorite series. Funnily enough, I haven't even finished the first entries of both but I'm going to have to say the Ico games, I just love Mom 3 too much.

People were shitting on Mother before Undertale.

I wasn't complaining about the grinding, and I feel like I gave the impression I was.
What I meant is if the grind is intended to start so early into the game, because I wasn't sure if I was simply being bad or just underprepared.
I guess it always throws me off how sudden the difficulty increase is once you enter the arcade.

Click was good tho.

EarthBound has a notably hard early game, but it will start to get easier once you leave Onett.

>mother 1 - horrible
>mother 2 - decent
>mother 3 - fantastic

>Ico - decent
>SotC - decent

havn't played trico, honestly kind of a hard choice. I think the ico series did more good for the industry so I'll probably erase mother but damn the combat system from 3 being gone is a waste

Jesus Christ, is that even a question? Both Ico and Last Guardian can not even compare to SotC, yet Earthbound and Mother 3 are equally god-tier.
Left all the way.

Mother 1 has the best soundtrack of the series.

>earthbound
>equally god tier to 3

3 does everything better than EB

Don't worry, the lack of localization means Mother 3 is still safe from contraianism

Keep Mother.

Ranking both series together based on Glitchwave ratings (because there aren't critic scores for Earthbound and Mother):
1. Mother 3
2. Earthbound
3. Shadow of the Colossus
4. Ico
5. The Last Guardian
6. Mother
Mother series gets 12 points. Ico gets 9.

Mother should have never been

Earthbound alone has more content than all the ICO game plus the next 7 they do if they keep going at this rate.

You should probably play more than 20 minutes of it before you make any judgements

>he think that anything is safe from Sup Forums‘s contrarianism
Have a sick new wall of text I just made.

There is nothing I hate on this board more than fags who think that Mother 3 is good. The game’s plot is hamfisted at best, with its biggest flaw being how seriously jarring the game’s switches in tone can be. At any moment the game can go from “haha wacky jokes lol isn’t this funny xD!!!” to “THIS IS A SAD MOMENT FEEL SAD GODDAMNIT”. Mother 3 also fails to establish a connection between the player and Hinawa and Claus, then they kill them off way too quickly and expect you to feel a sad about it, similarly to how Fallout 4 expected you to care about your baby and wife that you only knew for 10 minutes. The combat system is also atrocious.
>B-but muh rhythm combos!
“No!”
The combo system just serves as a disguised form of button mashing, but synced to the game’s quite frankly awful soundtrack. The party members are unlikable too. You have a total pussy, le epic tumblr pink hair yaaaaas queen slay girl, Duster (who was totally useless), and a talking dog for no reason other than to be quirky.
The ending is also terrible too. It’s revealed that the villain is Porky (which was obvious to anyone with an IQ over 80 because of LE EPIC PIG ARMY) and that the Masked Man is Claus (again, obvious for anyone who dosen’t have a subhuman IQ). What’s even worse is that the Masked Man has been a total dick to you for the whole game and then it just does a 180 and goes “FUCK YOU YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE SAD HE WAS YOUR BROTHER”. Then you go and reset the world with a convenient deus ex machina.
What a load of ass. The most insulting, pretentious part, however, is just how goddamn long the game is. If a game is going to be that fucking long, it better at least be good, but I guess that just doesn’t apply to the absolute shit pile that is Mother 3.

You need to bear with it until you get your first party member. Everybody agrees it really picks up from there.

>I guess it always throws me off how sudden the difficulty increase is once you enter the arcade.

You do need to grind a bit for the arcades or you won't stand a chance. Don't forget to buy better equipment at the store too.

Ahhh, so you're one of those guys.

>one inspired the best game of the decade, Undertale
>the other inspired the creator the most milked/fallen from grace series, Dark Souls

Gee I wonder

>Undertale
>Best game of the decade

Problem?

>People on Sup Forums hate the Mother series
Makes sense these people can't connect with games that explore the concepts of bonds between friends and the importance of parental love

But speaking from experience I'd think that would make the games more endearing

This is the worst opinion I've read in a while.

Hello new copypasta

Mother remake collection on the Switch when?
With Tomato's translation and featuring the original games

just play mother 3

>”No!”

Just give me a damn mother 1 remake. That game really needs it.

>Oh, so earlier today I got asked about Mother 3; maybe you can ask me about Metroid. Look, again, I am proud as an executive with Nintendo to say that we look at all of the boards and all of the comments and we really have a good understanding of what our consumers want. And believe me, we take that to heart as we work to create content.
>So I have nothing to announce - here. But we are aware that there are some key IP that consumers just can't wait for the next true instalment in that franchise's legacy. Suffice it to say, we're aware of it, and talk to me in a year and let's look back and see what's happened.

nintendolife.com/news/2017/01/reggie_fils-aime_offers_hope_for_those_dreaming_of_mother_3_metroid_and_more_on_switch

>It's been almost a year
Prepare for the autism storm of the century when Treehouse localization differs from Tomato's localization as names, dialogue, and terminology are changed left and right if this really happens.
Hopefully it doesn't so Itoi doesn't have to look at the fanbase in shame

>any of those game being pretentious

Just because a game is different doesn't mean it's bad.

All of those games are classics.
If I had to choose, I'd pick mother to get the axe.
Earthbound is the only game that I'd want to save, but the team Ico games resonate with me too well in terms of art, atmosphere, and game design

Undertale was good.

It's like I'm actually on Sup Forums

Mother stays. Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are grossly overrated games.

Earthbound's RPG mechanics suck. Literally everything else about that game is a 11/10 though. Mother 3 is inarguably a better game when it strictly comes to gameplay.

a world without mother 3 would be worse
the world can live without sotc as good as it is

mother stays

I love the Mother series, but Ico has superior games with more unique gameplay.
