/v/ - Video Games

Thiaf is a pretty funny example of a game with a cliffhanger ending. It's clear they wanted to make a new series from it, but there wasn't enough interest in the game to make one. Also, it was a literal cliffhanger.

Once you realize that half-life is just a medium for meta commentary, game design, the entire franchise becomes hollow.

Will Megaman ever get off the moon?

You mean like deus ex?

CLIFF HANGER

HANGING FROM A CLIIIIIIIFF

AND THAT'S WHY THEY CALL HIM CLIFF HANGER

>>14410802

This is an adults-only board.

WRONG

The last part is supposed to be: AND THAT'S WHY HE'S CALLED CLIFF HANGER

>>14411309

BUT I WILL NEVER LET GO

>>14411309

… And that's why he's called Cliff Hanger~!

>Rhianna Pratchett

She should really just fuck off with her writing, everything she gets involved with, dies.

Don't think you're going to get off that easily, Sera!

You were always too stubborn for your own good!

If you had a shell, you could transfer your primary programs over, right?

Gatts is dead, he died because of your gamble! If you die as well, who will be left to keep me company?

You can't fool me, I know you can hear me! Still going to ignore me, then let me tell you something!

Now that Elysium is no longer functioning, the old System the Master's people shut down has started to reactivate. It was your responsibility to monitor it. If you die, and it takes over, the Master's work was for nothing! Do you want that?

Do you mean to say that?

The Elder's System is becoming active again?

There are remnants of that System buried all over Terra in what the carbons call ruins. There's so many even I don't know if how many there are. I doubt they've be fully active soon, but eventually they will.

If we don't do anything, just imagine what will happen to Terra and all its people.

If the Elders and their machines activate, what will your sacrifice here have been for?

What do you say, Sera? Are you up for living with the people the Master left behind?

Could be a little wild, but interesting!

Perhaps it might be worthwhile.

I can't remember, the last time I saw you smile, Sera!

I'll think about it, once we figure out a way, to return to Terra!

Hee hee hee…That's a very good point, Sera! hee hee…

So what are we going to do, MegaMan? If we can't get back to Terra, then I can't give Roll her mother back!

Is that the only thing you're worried about?

Ha ha ha! Don't worry, Yuna!

Why?

I know Roll!

She'll come looking for us,

no matter what happens!

Only thing I can remember about that show was Gilbert Godfried as that damn bird.

>>14411476

Christopher Lloyd was also Hacker IIRC. I remember liking it almost as much as Arthur, and Arthur was the shit.

>>14411489

That's The Hacker to you…

He is probably talking about MD, which ends very abruptly and with Jensen going after the Illuminati.

>>14412187

He should have said Kike Game and not Deus Ex then

>>14411456

It wasn't made into an actual game so it isn't official canon.

>>14411277

This goes above and beyond a mere cliffhanger. This is opening up the game with the characters dangling off a cliff, hopping down then fucking around for ~20 hours, getting bored and then deciding to hang on the cliff again towards the end. What a complete clusterfuck of a game.

I came here to post this exact scene with those exact words. Glad to see /v/ is still upright.

Uh… his point was obviously saying that you should read books, that is if you want story. He's complaining about the overreliance of story in games.

Well fuck you too Ubisoft.

I clicked on the thread with the intention of posting this. Holy shit it made me mad.

>they turned what should have been a fetch quest from what should have been a 1st or 2nd boss into the plot of 95% of the game

Tyrell is the single worst character in the entire series. I don't recall Garet fucking up the plot of either of the two previous games.

>>14410759

AND ALSO THIS

>>14411524

TELL ME NOW HOW LONG THIS'LL LAST

>>14410759

Mega Man is the worst with this shit.

>Volnutt will never get off the moon.

>The classic series will never be tied into the rest of the series.

>Because of X8, Command Mission, Zero 3, and ZX:A, Axl is now Schrodinger's Reploid.

>Command Mission's plot had absolutely no effect on anything.

>We will never know how Master Thomas skullfucked the planet.

At least Battle Network, Zero, and Star Force actually ended.

BN3 was the high point in the series.

It had all those codes and passwords and tricks too

Why spend a decade pouring your heart and soul into a game like HL2 when you could just make a few dota hats for the same amount of money.

>>14411277

Honestly, after how fucking terrible that game was I don't want another game. I'll just pretend the GBA games were the only one.

Now only if there a relocalization project for the GBA games to cut 90% of the extra crap NOA squeezed in

also on-topic post:

Golden Sun Dark Dawn did this, but there will never be a Golden Sun 4

>>14418757

It's not so bad, really. People just got into it with ten years of expectations. I remember that my second playthrough (where I fucked around with classes, did optional bosses WAY below level, etc.) years later, was waaaay more enjoyable than just, ohhh it's totally not like the old ones. The combat and battle visuals were nice, really in style of the previous ones. Difficulty was a tad too low, could have profited from a hard mode.

Honestly, imo, the exposition of the story was kinda lame. "Oh. Psynergy holes. Wow, this is gonna be about spoooopy psynergy holes from second 1 to the end of the game", just to be caucht offtrack and the rest of the game had nothing to do with them anymore. Made it way better, and then they still had that to make another game about it.

IF ONLY THEY WOULD.

Really, I heard the most likely reason is that they don't have enough cocaine up their sleeves to come up with plotpoints they want to focus on.

Why not turn to the 10000000 fan videos that give more than infinite topics to make the game interesting and still tying up loose ends, as opposed to only new stuff getting introduced like in DD.

>>14411277

>Used to care about TLA getting a sequel

>Could give less of a shit about DD getting one

honestly DD killed my love for this franchise. Who gives a shit all the new characters barring the werewolf suck.

>>14411591

If anything Deus Ex is an example of a game which shouldn't have gotten a continuation to its story (but did anyway) because doing so attempted to apply canon to the ending choices.

>>14418824

>It's not so bad, really.

It was poorly paced, they barely did anything interesting or unique with psynergy puzzles, multiple points of no return with djinn/tablets/items that can be missed and they some how managed to make the text ridiculously more drawn out than the originals. The combat was fine but they kept shitting out party members faster than you actually had time to use them; just look at when you get the female earth adept; you were basically a few hours from the end of the game.

It was bad with a handful of highlights. But it still was bad.

>>14411277

Camelot isn't capable of making an RPG anymore, i think. All they've done since is Tennis, and Golf, with the closest to an RPG they've come since then is the new story mode in the switch Mario Tennis game,

>>14418924

Debetable.

But was it really worse than the two previous games?

For me, it's a true Golden Sun sequel. It could have been much more worse. It was not a quick cash-in, a sellout, or a total desaster. And for a franchise with that long an absence, it was maybe the best that could happen.

I liked it, I had my best 2 boss battles in my personal history in it, and I would certainly buy the sequel.

BEST ADVICE TO ANYONE PLAYING IT:

just take a look at the spoilerless P.o.n.R. Chart. Because yes, if you don't know what you can lose, you will likely lock that content out, and it's critical content.

My best guess why they did it, is that the narrative was just a bit more demanding in terms of locking the player out of regions, while the worst thing in Lost Age was that you couldn't officially revisit your home town.

I'm really salty for the cliffhanger though.

They could have left it at the first "2" games and it would be damn shame but oh well.

But this is literally striking up "To be continued" at a long awaited sequel and then letting it die an even worse death.

To be fair Model A is very clearly not Axl, as should've been clear from the moment we hear him say 'oira' instead of 'boku', but the weapons and the copying do make you think of him for sure.
