Saints row 1
>A fairly by-the-numbers GTA clone. It had some silly aspects and a more simplified gang experience, but for the most part, didn't stray from the formula
>overall, not an especially bad game.
Saints row 2
>people liked the weird, silly stuff you could do, so they ramped it up
>several new side missions were weird, silly, or random, such as fuzz, guardian angel, and septic avenger
>despite this, the main missions (mostly) stayed serious, allowing a sharp contrast of wacky to serious. Serious missions could still be taken seriously, despite being in a game where you spray shit on houses.
>the boss could finally say more than 4 lines, and it serves to further define his/her role as the boss instead of some faceless gopher for the gang.
>activities were required to do missions, as with the previous games, but they also served to provide unlockable goodies, such as awesome weapons and vehicles, and damage reduction
>this is where saints row peaked as a franchise.

saints row 3
>the volition devs saw that people loved the silly, over the top shit you could do and decided to go all the way with that
>the game never truly attempts to get serious until the penultimate mission, in which the boss can choose to either ignore the theme of the game(fuck selling out), or do a complete 180 of their character(doing anything to protect their friends)
>any serious scenes, therefore, have zero impact
>on top of that, it's incredibly easy to become nigh-unkillable, due to upgrades being tied to your rep instead of difficult activities
>customization is streamlined as well, and the city isn't as vibrant or detailed as stilwater
>this leads to 3 being a huge step back overall, a far cry from how good 2 was.
>despite this, the game is still fun to play, even if you don't get the same enjoyment out of the storytelling
saints row 4
>despite presenting itself as even wackier than 3, saints row 4 does a lot of things right
>once again, volition decided to have serious moments, and there's some damn good character development
>the powers, while hilariously overpowered, are still fun to use, and mixing them up provides a lot of replayability.
>the city, however, suffered. because steelport was not designed with the powers in mind, it feels even smaller and empty. the new missions are fun, but vehicles and homies become completely superfluous as you can get anywhere in seconds and leave them in the dust.
>the guns remain fun as hell, though, and it was a huge step towards the pinnacle that the series reached in saints row 2
2>4>1>3
As a gta clone it was doomed from the start. There was no other way to go but wacky
I don't care anymore.
The series is dead to me.
Does /v/ like Nuclear Throne?
>>345185581
It was popular for about three days and then one of the devs had an SJW meltdown on Twitter so everyone just started to pirate it and shitpost, until it fell to obscurity.
>>345185717
Its still pretty active for how much vlambeer has given no shits about it. Still a great game imo.
Oh shit, Knuckles dropped his keys!
Help him inside before someone steals his emerald!
nah
turn 360 degrees and walk away

Isn't he meant to be really strong?
Why do you have to kill the Demon King?
Because demon...?
Because they're evil.

does the anime ever get good? i tried watching it and was struck my how horribly boring it was. I really quite like Spice and Wolf however, so I'm willing to give it another try.
choose your weapon

>tfw OP's pic actually has a better crafting system than most AAA games
>better than most early access garbage too
>>345184268
Bow & arrow with a club as backup.
Have a plan to kite everyone you meet.
>not picking roadrunner trap.
Git gud fags.
When does this get good? I'm in Grasstown and just crawled through the fireplace. It's okay but so far I feel like I've been meme'd.
You fell for Mimiga furfag lies.
>>345184443
I get the impression it is trying to be like a Metroid game, although I've never really played one so the appeal is lost on me
>>345184095
It gets really difficult as you get further.
This is going to flop due too piracy.

Doesn't Japan have enough players to the point where companies have to stop operations for a day since all their workers are out playing DQ?

>Katherine ending
>marry some stuck up control freak because she's all you've ever had
>Catherine ending
>transcend humanity and become the uber-powerful ruler of hell with your mind's literal ideal waiifu by your side as well as a harem of demon girls at your command who worship your cock
Holy shit, was this supposed to be a difficult choice?
>>345183427
I think you're supposed to answer honestly and get the ending that reflects you, as opposed to making decisions based on which ending is"better". Also Some people have a thing for girls with glasses I guess
>>345183427
You left out the part where Catherine's job is to go out and get gangbanged by strangers on a daily basis, so you're quite literally a cuckold.
Fuck bitches, acquire space.

>>345184105
This, Catherine isn't ''your'' girlfriend. She's everyone's girlfriend.

So, the chances that someone is gonna put a bullet through Erdogans brain are pretty slim by now, right?

What's the situation over there, Bro? I hope you're still keeping out those migrants for us.

>Overwatch
>the most popular FPS
Yeah, no kid. No matter how much shitty tumblr fanart porn you jerk it to, Overwatch isn't the most popular FPS game. It's not even the most popular FPS on consoles kiddo.

Dota 2.
Get ready for TI6 boy.
