Anno 2205. Too casual for the existing fanbase, too obscure for the casual audience Ubisoft so desperately wants.

there are some cases were what do you say it's true but a lot of them just try to appeal to the audience of similar games making the same fucking shit they did with a different name.

You're all wrong. This is a Halo thread.

I'll JV5 you so hard, buddy.

Dead SPace 3
It still hurts
>>320994527
That doesn't even make sense. One of the biggest problems with 4 and 5 is that they added unnecessary bullshit. The first 3 halos were EXTREMELY simple, which is why they were popular.
>>320994814
2 was made more casual to appeal to the wider audience.
>>320994547
That's what I'm angry about. They kept the name "Country" but changed so much of the platforming elements so it plays very differently.
>>320994715
They made the movement better and added the ability to throw teammates to get secrets and stuff. You didn't even get teammates in the new games, they just functioned as upgrades for DK.
>>320994715
And collectibles, mini games, replayability, secret final boss, etc.

it's garbage physics. You can stop in mid-air on a dime, there's no momentum to it. It doesn't feel anything like the original series, and the homing attack is there.
Hit and miss music (Genesis styled drums with bad imitation synths, get used to that BYOWWW synth)
Episodic, and they didn't release a third episode. The second episode is a bit better.
>>320988086
At least it looks like they're upping the combat in 5. Going back to the formula of ranged and melee attacks

I felt like a lot of it was improved with the Second part. It's actually a shame we didn't see where an episode III would have gone, as it seemed like Sega were learning for once.

Neither do I, it's just that they shoehorned very nearly everything I didn't like about XY into RS without fixing any of XY or RS's problems.I was especially hurt because Gen 3 is my favorite.
