Want to broaden it to games that anticipated either making their "competition" DLC related, or as massive sequel hooks, and may or may not have gotten said wrap up?

>>15112367

>competition

Meant "completion." Keep forgetting the computer I'm borrowing has auto correct on.

>>15112367

I don't see why not. A cliffhanger that never gets resolved would sounds incomplete to me. A game that anticipated it'd be successful enough that it would play the jewish DLC waiting game before failing and getting the plug pulled would also count.

Crimson Gem Saga is kind of my go-to for such. The game ends with so fucking many questions left unanswered, and on a rather downer note at that. A few at least have their answers in a prior game that wasn't especially well received or well translated (Astonishia Story), but with the rest it seemed like the devs were deadset on a sequel to be able to wrap it up. And I'm not talking "loose ends", I mean the entire fucking conclusion feels more like a halfway point despite the player being max level or close to it by the end, and without the intentional "episodic" episodic excuse something like .hack would use. To this day, it never got a sequel, and left a bad experience with KRPGs in my mouth. Not good when a game winds up ending as a massive Frodo moment and makes the player wonder why they bothered putting however many hours into it for that sort of pay off. Good character art and spriting though.

Gravity Rush might also count, albeit more minority. First game ends with more questions asked than answered, and while apparently development on GR2 started shortly after the first game was finished, it still took about four and a half years for the sequel to get out, and with the way Sony had been handling the Vita, at least out here, it wouldn't shock me if a number of fans lost hope along the way. Not sure if SCEJ intentionally had Japan Studio leave things hanging with the first as sequel bait, or if Vita cartridge size limitations might have been more to blame (4GB seems the default, but I hear larger sized carts exist; would have to double check file sizes). Both games are good at least, though. Can't say the same for CGS up there (which I was honestly liking it until it shat the bed so hard in Act IV that it soils the entire experience).

Any Bethesda game.

CRAWLING IN MY SKIN

obligatory MGSV

>>15112534

>game stretched out

My god, the hunting for the pieces of the triforce… at first, I thought the game was joking when it sent me out to find forty pieces and I had to pay that green bastard Tingle a fortune for

EVERY SINGLE MAP

Mafia 2 was fucking butchered in the year or so leading up to it's release and a shit ton of features were cut. Originally it would have been a more open game with more breaks between the story, but since almost every piece of optional content was cut out they doubled down on making it more linear.

>>15112534

>Hyrule was meant to be explorable and act as a 2nd overworld but was cut and changed into a straight linear path

Didn't know Hyrule was going to be an actual second overworld, that sounds amazing. Could you imagine if there were still people living there or stuck in time, so that Ganondorf had more weight to his motivation? Or if you had to choose whether to save the old Hyrule or the new one? I remember an interview with someone that worked on it mentioning they ended up scrapping the planned out dungeons for future Zelda games (Twilight Princess' water temple was the one in question iirc).

>>15112803

Tower of the Gods was originally going to be larger, and a lot of its elements were reused/reintroduced for the Temple of Time dungeon in TP

>>15112480

is this the new battlefield game?

>>15112534

Let us not forget that there were to be two more major dungeons, with their locations finishing a triforce design on the sea map. These are but a handful of the reasons I won't pay for Nintendo products ever again.

This thread is not good for the heart.

>>15113218

I really fucking hate Blizztard for killing two studios for this shit.

>>15112355

>meanwhile, the EA C&C games don't even try to implement any of those features

>>15113238

They took a Gook Studio's game and plastered it with Kane, and called it C&C4, even the studio or what's left of it just used more greenscreens and filmed outside of their fucking office to make the live-action cutscenes.

>>15113265

It's simple. Ahad had an initial roster of characters that he had planned to do when he designed the game, and they were going to do the last two characters to give it a canon story (Umbrella and Marie), but Kike Z decided at the last minute he wanted to put the last two characters to a character ballot instead, and the winners ended up being some gay wrestler and an egyptian thot who fights by making stuff out of her period blood.

>>15112480

At least we have the PSP game.

>>15113324

Is this Skull Girls for ants?

>>15112899

>>15113265

>due to gross incompetence on the part of everyone involved skullgirls looses its funding

>crowdfunds to finish the character they were working on and gets way more than they expected

>put the remaining characters to a vote, leading eliza, big band and beowolf, with the extra money left over + other investors funding two clone characters

>stopped working on the game, made a phone game and started on indivisible

>story will now never be complete because the characters relevant to the main story aren't being made (Dhalia, Marie who is a boss character currently)

>the story surrounding the skullheart wont be made either since Aeon, and Venus wont be made

Its a tad sad that if the skulgirls team wasn't living in commiefornia they could have made one more character out of the cost of living expenses

>>15113311 (checked)

>Battlefront II

Soy of a feather.

>>15113298

I have always wondered where this idea that Mike's code monkey ass has some sort of immense executive control for this kind of shit comes from. PR and organizing a crowdfunding campaign are things that are way the fuck out of his job description.

>>15113372

The original battlefront 2

>>15113401

>If I recall in an old thread, supposedly the voting process was also tainted by one guy on the team saying that Beowulf (an otherwise unremarkable wrestler) was behind the Top 4 in terms of votes, which prompted anti-waifufags who didn't want a character such as Annie or Minette to bandwagon behind him for the sole purpose of spiting the waifufags.

I remember those times. the voting system was changed for the beo vote as well if i recall corectly.

The original pokemon crystal had online multiplayer battles using cell services. For a mere 10 cents a battle you could play or trade with anyone in japan. The localization replaced the battle tower with NPCs for obvious reasons.

>>15113774

Man that looks like shit,it'd still probably be more detailed and polished then the actual game we got.

>>15113836

Yeah, it was basically still in alpha when it got scrapped.

Any anons have the New Vegas Screencap Detailing cut conent regarding Caesar's Territory and how you can enter The Colorado?

>>15113238

Those features require both money and talent, and EA doesn't have the talent to make those features, as well as think it's not worth the monetary investment to make a return.

>>15114001

The original game is just half a game, you play first half as Nero then you play the game backwards as Dante. The special edition re-release added a Trish, Mary and Vergil to play as, and some new modes, but left the original campaign untouched, so you'll play the same stages a total of 6 times, if you want to play and finish all the characters.

>>15113796

Same shit with the Dark Souls remake

>It's known the last areas of the game were rushed

>Things like Lost Izalith, where they copy-pasted multiple lower-body parts of another monster as a brand new enemy

>A fucking boss so bad that even the dev team apologized for it

>It still is in the game without any modifications

<B-but we didn't have any m-money left to fix it

>And how about now that your franchise has achieved meme status?

<Fuck you, have dsfix and a silly shader, that will be 40€

Also add the rampant hackers that plagued the release of the first game at launch exploiting the same shit they did back then.

I hate this shit

>>15114034

Don't forget it actually made the game worse, from what I saw it ruined the lightning, made some dark areas too bright and some light ares too dark, and other shit like replacing the fire effects.

It was just a shitty cash grab, and it shows in like the first minute of the game they fucked up.

At least I now have and additional test to know if someones opinions are shit.

>>15114034

>Shadow of the Colossus actually got a remake

<didn't add cut colossi

<didn't add cut areas

<didn't flesh out existing areas that had more planned

<Hurr durr here's the better graphics everyone* wanted!

*Disclaimer: everyone means no one.

>>15113796

It's actually even shorter because they mercifully streamlined some things.

>>15114053

>remake a thing to be exactly like the original thing because that's what a remake is

>dude why didn't they add anything?

Why are you upset about this? Are you ESL and don't know what a remake is?

>>15112349

>Skullgirls never delivering on its Canon Story Mode because the characters required didn't win the DLC polls

What an ass-backwards way to develop a game. If the characters were so important, they should have been part of the plan, not an option.

>>15114287

Here come the shills. Ever play Resident Evil? Of course you haven't because you've bought into the publisher dicksucking view of thinking it's okay to sell you the same fucking game once- twice- no THREE TIMES and you should be grateful for it.

God forbid someone asks for a little more meat on his soulless cashgrabs.

>>15112349

that's just the cut content you saw. there's always mountains of shit left on the cutting room floor of every game because the whole development of a game is a series of compromises and cuts either to make it work or get it out on time

>>15113324

>saving a thumbnail

retard

>>15114469

I love these shills

>Huh, remakes are just graphical overhauls, why are you complaining?

<They changed the controls/gameplay on the new RE remake like the fixed camera? So what? It's a remake, deal with it

>>15115110

>>15113364

I actually googled it. That thumbnail's the biggest group picture, straight from the Skullgirls wiki.

>>15115135

You're not showing off anything interesting. You seem to think it would be an easy process to "just add" these colossi and think they wouldn't alter the game and its pacing in dramatic ways, adding more content but not having it be anything meaningful. I've never seen a good argument why SotC remake "needed" the cut Colossi added. I think the best thing that could be asked is an in-game gallery/museum showing off all the cut content sort of like how the earlier Ratchet and Clank games did. The cut colossi are interesting, especially those cut near the end - but these colossi are incomplete and failure to understand why the game had them cut at all to me is basically exclaiming you totally missed the point of the game.

>>15115141

I love these retards,

>wtf why did they remake this game exactly 1:1 so much so it literally emulates the game for logic just tweaked to run at higher framerates btw wheres muh cut content

>wtf why did they change anything in the remake??? I didn't want this

learn to judge things for what they are, not what they aren't you petulant child.

Hey, shill. Do you know how I know you aren't from around here?

>>15116798

>That genderswapped Heart Aino

>>15113401

Making the game just to pander waifufags was a mistake to begin with.

>>15116885

No, designing characters to pander to anybody EXCEPT waifufags was the mistake. That's how we ended up with trash like Gayowulf and Big Black.

>>15116595

You forgot:

>Toby might as well port his shitty game into consoles for a quick buck

>Just like Cave Story

>>15116897

I almost forgot their controversial scrapped animation, designing the girls with skanky outfits just to get censored specially when they hired zap artists, coincidentally Mike Z got his ego inflated like a hot balloon.

Nice porn though.

Incomplete games: Literally everything on agdg not made by a redditer

>>15121231

fump

A large chunk of story mode in GTA V was cut. Unused files as well as more files from a prototype of the game show a whole cut heist (The Sharmoota Job) as well as a series of other missions (a bunch of hood missions, a mission where you steal a Hydra like in SA and the online heists, etc.). This explains some oddities like the aforementioned hood section being so short - the original story had it longer and the transition with Franklin moving from the ghetto to his fancy house was smoother rather than abrupt. Mind you, I still believe the game would've been as bad as it is now if it still had the same physics, driving, gunplay, car choices (few "normal" cars to fill the regular traffic, mostly luxury and sport cars that you don't see normally in the game) et al but the whole thing could've been different.

>>15113218

Nothing of value was lost.

>>15116607

>>15116595

>Sakurai gets assblasted about the cinematics in brawl getting onto the net

>decides to save the efforts of the cinematics for character reveals

I honestly prefer it that way, but yes, it's a result of a dev getting pissy.

>>15115135

Cutting content isn't always a bad thing. A games pacing can drag a game out to be way way longer than it needs to be and then you burn out and have to slog through it to finish it up. SOTC is just long enough before it starts to get repetitive. If you added that many more bosses you would need to add at least 2 more mechanics and if you go 48 then you need to add at least 5. The basic gameplay just isn't enough to sustain that much content, it doesn't have the depth for it.

>>15116798

Really does burn my ass how thry said THESE CHARACTERS NEED TO WIN SO YOU GET THE FULL STORY but then didnt add them and left it to chance. Only good thing out of that would be how Waifufags crashed and burned with Feng losing and all the salt that followed.

>>15116798

>>15124433

I don't buy how they claimed they don't have the resources to make all characters given how popular Skullgirls is among the hundreds of 2d fighters that don't get half as much attention.

>>15112349

Everything that got cut from MGSV made it better. The amount of bullshit Kojima was working on is astounding, you should be grateful that the series didn't end with Big Boss shooting Liquid as a child.

And chapter 3 is literally just a meaningless placard: if chapter 2 is just new game plus, what would 3 be? A popup after you get the true ending, that would annoy people to hell and back since the content is actually over. All this crap against the game is just contrarianism to damage a japanese production.

I don't know if this counts, but Yakuza 3 being ported to the West with a ton of cut content to "appeal to a western audience", and some fags on Gamespot praising it.

Secret of Mana SNES CD version, before it got moved to cartridge perhaps might be another example, although I can't remember what got removed to fit the game on a cartridge.

Chrono Cross not being more faithful to Radical Dreamers. I wanted Magus in disguise in my party.

>>15124631

Chrono Cross, as it is, is a fucking insult to Trigger. Trigger is a nearly perfect package, with a nice simple narrative that hits every beat it has to. Cross, on the other hand, spends hours navel gazing and ruminating on nothing, with every new idea or neat moment actively shitting on the previous game.

>>15112349

KOTOR had a lot of cut content that people cleaned up and released as a mod for the game.

Interesting.

>>15112355

>>15113238

Most of these were released later in other games. And ideas is not cut content, they are fucking ideas.

>>15127373

The first one, too? I thought only KOTOR II was released before it was finished (like half the game is gone).

That one turkish game that looks very similar to Mount&Blade, but actually is a first-person RTS, where you control a village/town/castle.

I was sad that it was cancelled. Happened like a few years ago.

>>15124457

They likely do have the means, but they wanted to move away from Skullgirls to work on other projects. Namely, Indivisible. But given the way they turned a white cowboy party member into a nigger bounty hunter and, when the change caught negative reception, only brought back the white design as an NPC, it sounds too pozzed for me to bother.
