Thoughts on Advance Wars?
Feels good man.
It's great.
Just one of those games where there's really not much to say, because there's not much to disagree about and discuss.
It's a great game.
It's SUCH a great game, I'm honestly surprised we don't have more of it going on right now.
I'd honestly settle for a Stardew Valley style "Only different due to copywrite reasons" indie remake at this point. I'm surprised we haven't got any of those going on right now

It's a shame the series died. DoR is such a great game.
Started playing on the PSP Go. Fucking love it
This game is fucking hard
I don't think I'll ever beat it

Mech spam solves any AW problem.
>>339314723
Mech spam is literally the dumbest stratagem and only works because AI is shit.
>>339315369
That doesn't mean that it isn't effective if you are in a tough spot. Unless you are playing another person, that is.
Why did NOA consider Nell's arms too lewd to show?
>>339315516
It works against the AI but it's >>339315550

DEAD series
;_;
After seeing what modern IS did to FE and Paper Mario, I'm glad it died with its dignity left >>339316346

>I'd honestly settle for a Stardew Valley style "Only different due to copywrite reasons" indie remake at this point. I'm surprised we haven't got any of those going on right now
I've seen a couple in gamedev threads around here, but I don't know if any of them went anywhere.
Can't blame 'em. Strategy game AI is a pain in the ass.
>>339315550
They didn't censor it, they repackaged it for a western audience.
You see, here in America we prefer aesthetics over blatant sexualization. To us, a woman in a full Millitary jacket and skirt of moderate length is much more aesthetically pleasing than some white bitch trying to find out if I have an armpit fetish. Honestly if Nell looked like that on my GBA I would have flushed the game down the toilet, because I'd say it looks like shit.

>>339313964
I prefer it dead. Just look at what they did with FE, do you want the same shit on your beloved franchise?
Love it.
>>339315550
Post the same pic with the brown-skin recolor, please. I need it.
>>339319830
how the fuck can pipes be so big you cant fly over them get real nintendo
>>339313173
One of the best turn-based strategy games ever made. The first DS game and the SNES game are the pinnacles. The GBA ones are also amazing. NES one is cool.
I don't get the FE comparisons. FE was trash after the Super Famicom games, long before they stopped making Wars games.
So clearly they were capable of making fantastic Wars games and bad FE games simultaneously.
>>339313964
i was kinda skeptical of a grimdark reboot of Advance Wars, but I did enjoy it and I liked how they dialed down the craziness of the COs and the balance a lot
also the OST was banging

>>339320341
FE were 'ok' after SNES and went to super-garbage tier with 3DS.
Daily reminder that DoR would be regarded better than Dual Strike if they hadn't changed the tone of the game and made it more Westernized.
>>339320752
But it's already regarded better.

good game
probably gonna stay dead till the FE series calms itself down.
What tips would you guys recommend for the GBA game's final mission using Andy, Grit, and Sammy?
>>339324668
Have fun.
>>339324668
Grit can't do much once his predeployed missiles run out of targets. The best way he can contribute is by making a ball of artillery around his HQ as meteor bait. Let Andy take blue's designated neutral properties. Sami shuttles in mechs for support.
>>339313173
Old FE > Advance Wars > Battalion Wars > raw sewage > Post-Awakening FE
>hard campaign on AW2
I can't, no matter who I choose.
Days of Ruin sucked and is what killed the franchise.
prove me wrong on the latter, oh wait you can't because it was the last game.
>want Advance Wars to return
>It comes back as an otaku-pandering dating sim with a horrible story and cringe writing
>339325572
Doesn't even deserve a (you). Apply yourself.
>>339326057
I think they were using the MonHun method to encourage discussion.
>>339325883
I want another Advance Wars too, but with the original storyline, I really like Hawke-Maverick both personality and gameplay-wise and want to know more of him.

>"FE wasn't bad until Awakening"
Meme parroted by people who started at Awakening. The preceeding games weren't any more challenging, and waifushit has been in the series since FE4.
>inb4 muh GBA and Ike games are super hard
>>339313173
not as good as battalion wars
>>339327917
if anyone found FE9 hard then they need to git gud.
also your a salty "muh k rool addition" smash fag.
The series is really fucking great, I'm a very exigent fan of strategy and tactical games and this was one of the few times that I was completely satisfied with a game, for me the elegancy of the gameplay rules and the level design leaves little to be desired.
>>339325883
FE was always a franchise made by hardcore Otakus. They just couldn't go full-weeb mode until Awakening since Nintendo wanted to make all their all-star franchises market toward kids.
Advance Wars had more westernized-art, even though it was an eastern game. I doubt they would add a dating sim to it.
>>339328142
>if anyone found FE9 hard then they need to git gud.
There are people who pretend it is.
>also your a salty "muh k rool addition" smash fag
Is that even English?
God I loved these as a kid, I would have preferred a non grimdarked sequel but i might just be mourning my grit senpai
>>339327917
Bullshit. FE6-10 didn't have waifutrash and actually focused more on the plot than the romance until the happy ever after epilogue due to the support system.
>>339328597
There's a difference between "not samurai" swordsman unit is the best in the game and the family-sim/dating-sim shit in the current games.
The family building and shipping shit is female-oriented to boot, and none of the FE games until recently were remotely female oriented.
>>339327917
not him, but
I started with sacred stones and although I don't feel awakening was much more or much less challenging I feel the character interaction was weaker, the plot mildly less interesting, and the character's themselves less interesting, and overall imo Awakening lowered the bar for what the series was or needed to be, not by much tho, desu people on either side of the fence, the side claiming awakening ruined the series, and the side claiming it changed nothing, are retarded
>>339328748
>There are people who pretend it is.
Who the fuck thinks this? Ike alone puts this game on babby mode, even without Ragnell.
>>339327362
>You notice your new main commander is a bit on the young side
Andy is like 12 dude.
>>339329370
Mainly the same people who pretend Sacred Stones is hard.
You don't need to explain to me how easy 9 is; I know.
Especially the crap western release with no Maniac mode.
>>339327362
The sad part is you're absolutely right.
Is Advance Wars the best that Tactics have to offer?
Also, which is better? 2 or Days of Ruin
>>339329495
i'd say he's more like 15.
but yeah advance wars is no stranger to young characters.
heck the beloved "can do no wrong DoR" even has loli in it.
but its okay when DoR does it.
>>339330000
weeeeew
Dark Conflict is sitting in my shelf unplayed.
I'll need to get around to that game.
I wish fire emblem wasn't so fucking successful
I would kill for a modern Advance Wars with the same amount of time and polish they've been putting into the recent FE games
>>339330000
Quads confirm fourth game a best.
Would you like it if they added real weakspot advantages in a new installment of AW?
Like if you fought a tank head on it will have more defense than attacking it from the sides because the treads are unplated
>>339330398
whatever they do they need to make sure neotanks aren't the best fucking unit in the game in almost every situation
>>339330339
Your opinion is wrong.
>>339327362
>your next three hours consist of no advance wars-style missions, instead choosing which you to marry, go on a honeymoon etc. etc, which all happens in cutscenes and barely any interaction from you
>sitting through it all out of sheer blind faith it's just some over-and-done-with part, the next mission goes for three turns before some cutscene kicks in where you would be defeated via a direct HQ surprise flank, but are then saved by your fiance and the power of love and the power of plot armor asspulls
damn son neither of these things happened in Awakening or Fates, have you even played them, or just listened to memesters who told you scary stories about slippery slopes?
I knew several people who beat the game but DID NOT KNOW you could marry people, because the game never forced them to do anything of the sort.
Stop being such a bitch.
also, I like how even if everything in your post happened, that doesn't affect the actual gameplay. stay mad.
>>339331012
>three hour dating segments aren't detrimental to the gameplay
>>339330756
Game is much more balanced though.
>>339315550
Well considering NA released first it wasn't censored by NoA
>>339330000
>Also, which is better? 2 or Days of Ruin
Crap, man. You might as well ask which of my children I love more.
I dare you to name one thing that Greyfield did wrong
>>339332340
Attempting to execute his prisoners.
>>339332340
He lost.
Didn't we used to do online matches? Like just last year?
What happened to that?
>>339332340
Declaring he would execute any of his men that had even the early stages of the Floral Virus, creating widespread fear amongst his ranks and causing them to attempt to hide it as well as they could, only to let it spread more silently.
>>339333248
That was for AW2: Black Hole Rising. I think interest just died off.
>>339332340
Trying to negotiate with Lin
What would your reaction be if the next advance wars got to be even more edgy and brooding than the last one about war and all. Like the units which got defeated are actually counted and the CO's actually have a more mature outlook on war and not suddenly lets be friends.
Just asking.
Am perfectly fine if Advance wars continues with its cheery style, just the story itself kinda was at times a bit kiddly like, at least the european version i had was.
>>339334545
>Like the units which got defeated are actually counted
Oh no, won't anyone think of the poor robots
>>339313173
Good series but ended so soon.
Would be a better match as a mainstream game than FE since its cartoonish and easy enough for casuals.
And there's literally no sexualizing of the characters. None at all even when the series was alive.
>>339333248
Hope interest drums up again over summer. I'd actually be able to play this time.
>>339335056
>And there's literally no sexualizing of the characters
You had Sami showing off her belly in a small tanktop.
Worst franchise I ever played, resulting in the physical destruction of two cartridges. I don't recommend it.
>>339325883
This is my biggest fucking fear with a future AW game.
>>339334545
I could care less so long as it's not otaku-pandering and stays true to the overall gameplay.
Though, I do feel like there could a general overhaul like units using actions points, stacking units, specialized armies, and such.
>>339335238
>normal clothes is sexualizing
Are you underaged?
>>339327917
Is it again a "Anon claims pre-Awakening FE had "waifushit" in it" episode?
People waifuing Lyn is a bit different than the game getting close to a literal Waifusimulator with a Mary Sue Self-insert & S supports
>>339335387
Are you autistic?
>>339313173
Perfection
you should be able to solve this.
>>339319756
FE is meant to be taken seriously. AW isn't, at least until DoR came out.
A new Wars game (aside from needing to be named NX or 3DS Wars like the original Famicom Wars games were) needs to have that same "let's go to war and act like it's a board game" kind of feel. Not "DO YOU FEEL LIKE A HERO YET?" kind of shit.
>>339340117
Cripes, what a miserable mission.
Isn't it something like making Rockets in the piped area and then cranking out bombers while trying to gum them up in the north?
>>339340386

>>339340639
that's the kind of thing I expect from VC, not Wars. I expect it to be goofy and shit.
>any loss is acceptable! we have infinite soldiers and replenishing money
>now flood those chokepoints so our artillery can bomb them and we can painstakingly take this map inch by inch with massive casualties
>>339340880
or
"hey we got these troops on a loan from blue moon, lets use them for cannon fodder!"
i love this series.
>>339340880
as silly as this sounds that Doctor in Days of ruin claims factory made units are unmanned. I guess that makes foot soldiers robots.
I neverfinishedany of the games. I played AW 1/2 and the two DS games.
At some point the missions become so tedious and drawn out that I dropped every single one of them.
I really like the series, but I never had the patience to start a really long mission over from scratch because I made some irreparable mistake. Maybe I should replay and beat the original someday, but there's so much other shit on my log that it's probably not gonna happen.
>>339332340
having soldiers with the disease executed gave them an incentive to hide it, letting it grow inside them and infect their peers
what a fucking awful decision
