>game talks about an ancient war and how the ancient hero defeated the ancient evil
>that sounds more of a fun game than what it is
>>320648171
but how can it be ancient if it is in the present
>>320648171
None because every game is fighting an ancient evil
>>320648863
Bowser's not an ancient evilHe's just misunderstood
>>320648958
He's furfag shit.

>Game talks about a faction that at one point defended a major city against an overwhelming force.
>In-game, faction is nothing but randomly-generated kill/loot/rescue quests.
>game talks about an ancient war and how the ancient hero defeated the ancient evil
>you go back in time to help the ancient hero defeat the ancient evil
>both the ancient hero and ancient evil help you kill a giant space tick
>>320648171
>game talks about current war and huge battles
>can't participate in them
>>320648171
>game lets you play as them in a prequel
>you already know what happens, but it's still fun
>>320648958
whoever says that M&L BiS' final battle wasn't hype as fuck hasn't played the game
>>320648171
>game talks about good and evil, light and dark, order and chaos, other boring shallow duality cliches
>game is Japanese
>>320648171
>>game talks about an ancient war and how the ancient hero defeated the ancient evil
>It's a Bioware game.
>game is set on earth with actual places
>game is about the chosen one
>the chosen one is a 16 year old japanese boy
What did I expect from a Japanese studio
>your father is known as the one of the greatest warriors/strategists in history
>helped end a bloody war with his cunning intellect, despite overbearing odds
>has HIS OWN NICKNAME because of how skilled he is with a sword
>game rarely shows you him fucking shit up because he's conveniently missing for 99% of the story
>>320648171
> amazing underwater city
> great conflict
> you walk around bored with just listening to tapes of what happened and how full of life the city was
>Game starts right as something interesting in the protags life/world is happening
>>320649894
>dies to first slime npc
>>320649995
Well what do you expect? The first hour of the game watching your protag eat Top Ramen and watching TV?
>>320648171
>bad guys are literally named "the darkness"
>you play the role of a mary sue
Game 1 tells the legend of a legendary hero that saved the whole continent, while you play as a descendant of said hero
Game 2 has you playing as the descendants of Game 1 hero
Game 3 has you playing as that legendary hero, looking for his father not knowing what awaits himguess the games

Errr...Jak and Daxter?
>>320649837
Blame the Japanese market, not the studios. Marketers are just doing their job in finding out what people want.
>game is set in a mature, political backdrop, rich with intrigue, backstabbing, and wars
>studio tells you to get rid of your intended protagonist, a grizzled knight at the center of the game's plot, because he won't be received well by young girls
>shoehorn in a new protagonist that has absolutely nothing to do with the story, and bears no relevance to anything happening in the world
>>320648171
Is that Desire The Endless? We really need more villains like that
>>320650578
wrong
you have 2 more guesses
>>320650930
Moonbeam City I think
>>320648171
Have the updated version.
>>320649146
mimutemen are boring
>>320648171
Why did they have to ruin such an amazing artstyle on such a shitty show.
>tfw you finally grow up unlike OP and realize that effectively wars are a series of battles and the grandiose event he thinks a war is, is not what it actually is
>and many series pull off the struggle, or breakthrough portion of a war very well without needing to flip around and show constant worldwide conflict you can assume is happening
>>320652450
>Moonbeam City
>Shitty
MBC is great. Cant believe it wont get a second season while garbage like South Park and the Simpsons keep getting seasons despite them being well past their prime
>>320652697
It won't get a second season because it's shit. Simpsons gets a free ticket because it's a merchandising giant but most of the time something that is good will be popular and something that isn't wont.
>>320652697
>South Park
>shit
>>320652697
season 19 was actually decent.
The simpsons on the other hand are just gone from a long time.
>>320648171
I would play the shit from that Cetra vs Jenova thing from FFVII.
>>320652697
Moonbeam City is basically Archer set in the 80s. If you mix shit with shit, how can you be surprised when you get shit in the end?
>>320648171
DMC might be good but Spardas story sounds ballin as fuck.
>>320648171
>that thing you are describing happens in almost every single big franchise
>lord of the rings, star wars, warhammer, etc
kind of sad that we almost never get to see a ancient proud civilization at it´s peak and also never the great war against the big evil
>>320648171
>it turns out you were sent back in time at the beginning of the game
>you are the ancient hero that defeated the ancient evil
>>320648171
>story tells of a brave and powerful hero who defeated the ancient evil
>prequel comes along
>he's an obnoxious whiny little faggot and he only put the ancient evil in a healing coma
>>320650475
>>320650578
ok fineDragon Quest 1-3
>>320650475
