Sonic Adventure. 3d Sonic was a mistake.

Might as well X-treme though it didn't release.

>>8555342
They're fighting games, the series was ruined as soon as it stared

>>8555342
DOA was a series with a lot of outfits from the very beginning, and alternate outfits got turned into DLC across all series

>>8555342

>>8555342
Should be 6 (or maybe 5)

>>8555342
A shame the series ended up as it is now, because that game is really good. The problem wasn't this game though, it was tecmo dropping Itagaki. People thought that the first two extreme games were nothing but tits, but the fact is that these games were gravure tit shows PLUS actually enjoyable volleyball/minigames. The game is relaxing, lighthearted, and enjoyable, for more than just the tits (as demonstrated by women also enjoying the game).

If you really want to put the blame on somebody for the series going to shit, then put it on Tecmo. After they got rid of Itagaki the xtreme series totally lost its way. Where the first two games were "tits but actually a good game", three and onward are just "tits + fuck you pay me".

It's not just on DoA either, as Ninja Gaiden also went to shit.

>>8555346
Sonic Adventure 2 is the peak of video games.

>>8555591
BASED SA2CHAD.

>>8555350
At least it killed Sega Technical Institute which by that point totally lost its original purpose and old personnel.

I think that's more on Koei Tecmo or modern day Team Ninja. They went overboard with DLC for 5/Xtreme 3, rushed out 6 and milked it before eventually leaving it, and now they just don't give a shit since Xtreme just seems to be a F2P gacha at this point with the least amount of player input on the actual volley ball aspect.

He may be based, but not redpilled. Ironically, in this case, if he was redpilled, then he wouldn't be based.

Hop in dude ;)

>>8555769
Thanks, bro! You're nice and I'd appreciate having a friend like you.

Now, excuse me, it's time for some controversy. Yes, my pick is picrel. Why? Nothing in particular. But because of that game, no more classic Castlevanias were made. Didn't they have room for two?

I wish DOA Volleyball had some more variety in clothes instead of just dozens of bikinis and swimsuits

>>8555342
lmao go pick up a copy of DOA2, lift up the disc and tell me what you see underneath

>>8555342
While not bad, the move of development to canada was the dead rising franchise's downfall.

>>8556283
Sir, we're on /vr/

>>8556283
While not a bad GAME, i meant.

Damn, sorry. Didn't get much sleep last night. I was popping between tabs.

The cartoony caricature of right wing rednecks being villains was already enough to tell you what was coming next. Great game still, also not /vr/, fuck right off.

THIS
Fucking Persona 3 killed SMT and Persona. The side series almost got killed off too.

>>8555596
Didn't they make Die Hard Arcade too?

Easy. This two-disc overrated garbage. It looked stunning at the time but Disney-ified the series and is directly responsible for the ugly mobile artwork remaster of the first two games.

Guybrush seemed like a cool slacker in the first two games who didn't want to get into fights. They make him out to be such a pussy in this game it's revolting. Just look at him.

I respect Telltale for bringing back his balls.

>>8556736

And the worst thing about The Curse of Monkey Island is that it went on to influence. every. other. adventure game.

The most decadent example being the complete emasculation of the King's Quest series with this terrible entry.

>>8556742

Mind you, when I say emasculation I'm refering to King Graham's character and the tone and difficulty of the game.

Even King's Quest VII went harder than the trash I posted above. They basically Threepwooded the series.

>>8555794
>But because of that game, no more classic Castlevanias were made
sotn didnt ruined the series, a game ruin the series when its bad, sotn is a cult game that powered a lot of metroid like games so i dont share your opinion

>>8556736
i totally loved The curse of Monkey Island, for me the series was ruined on the 4, it was terrible.

>>8555342
You start, OP
>>8555443
Wrong, but what can you expect from a zoomer that never played RE0?

>>8556578
SMT was never good but Persona 3 was also a clear downgrade. There wasn't much to ruin, but I respect this answer.

You were almost right but Nocturne released before p3 (which p3 used lots of assets from) but yes everything pre Nocturne was fucking shit maybe except the devil summoner games but smt 1 and 2 are a nightmare to play

>>8556736
fuck you, you have absolutely no idea of what are you talking about, hearing the characters with voices it gave'em personality (hear the english & spanish version and I fookin love it both of them), most of the situations were hillarious.

The duels were fun as fuck. If you prefer the Tellale version, that's ok, but the real retro gold games are the first Monkey Island 1, 2 and 3, unfortunately, the fourth version sucks as hell, I blame the poor designing and the stupid crap of story that it went for that game, too childish. I mean, monkey island is a cartoon, but man, it was a clever cartoon.

She drank a ton of whiskey before the fight.

>endless gotta catch 'em all

>>8556889
Is English your first language? Maybe you don't know then... But, in English, Guybrush sounds like a dweeby beta male in Curse of Monkey Island. Combined with the lanky appearance and awkward demeanour, Guybrush is made out to be a beta pussy where in the first two games he's a cool slacker.

>>8556791
This is true. 4 wouldn't have happened if it weren't for 3 changing the direction of the series though.

>>8556931
You're a zoomer if you didn't play RE0 when it came out and felt like it was dated in real time. Good job parroting opinions though zoomzoom

>>8556985
What's funny is the ones you posted dropped the slogan, Crystal was the last game to say "gotta catch 'em all"
I agree though, RSE started the trend of legendaries being titans in conflict and were a regression from GSC in multiple ways. Amazing how kiddified they were considering the previous games already starred ten-year-olds.
I think FRLG were even worse than RSE though. They sold so well that it forever justified Game Freak's modus operandi to just slap a remake of their previous game on the most recent version of their engine. And people eat it up.

>>8556991
I have no stake in the matter since I've never played Monkey Island, but for an English speaker "Guybrush Threepwood" has got to be one of the dweebiest names I've ever heard.

How do you knock it out of the park so hard, and then chug the most lethal poison by the very next game. This shit has wiped it's stink over almost every attempt to do another Yoshi game to date, even the ones more based on Yoshi's Island have a more Yoshi Story style soundtrack.

>>8556578
Persona 3 was good, but yeah it absolutely killed both Persona and SMT.
>>8556580
>The side series almost got killed off too.
What do you mean? Nowadays it's only mainline SMT and Persona + like a dozen Persona spinoffs. We'll probably never get anything like Digital Devil Saga or Devil Summoner ever again. They can't even bother to reference Persona 1 and 2 outside of anniversary artwork

>>8557704
It's kinda insane that Yoshi's Island was an excellent game and every single other Yoshi game since then has been them making the same game again except substantially worse

>>8555794
>But because of that game, no more classic Castlevanias were made.
Castlevania Rebirth

>>8556742
>The makers of that game stole all the money from the Homestuck kickstarter to do it
I don't know if I should be upset at them for being scamming thieves or impressed they killed Homestuck

Persona 5 was super popular.cope and seethe.

inb4 not retro.

>>8555346
fpbp, thread could've ended here frankly

>>8557281
only zoomers think game can get "outdated"

It's a bitter pill to swallow for many, but it's true
Not that it's a bad game, not by any means. It really is an amazing accomplishment considering the limitations of the Gameboy especially at the time of its release. There's a reason it holds up to this day.

But it set the groundwork for games that WEREN'T beholden to the limitations of the Gameboy, discarding the fast paced action, large enemy groups, fun and challenging difficulty, the freedom to explore a vast open world...

Zelda became a linear puzzle solving game because the Gameboy couldn't do anything more. That it stayed one is the real sin.

>>8558312

>>8558328
Yeah, Wind Waker is exactly the sort of game that I'm talking about. It's fine on a handheld from 1992 but as a full blown console game for a cutting edge next-gen system? It's a disaster.

>>8558312
I always did find it weird how the old 2d games are more focused on combat where the new 3d games are focused on puzzles.

>>8558312
LA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Alttp
And it's a fucking gameboy game and unless you are talking about Zelda 2 LA it's just alltp but better.

Imagine a timeline where alttp didn't shit the series and we had Zeldavanias rpgs focused heavily on combat like Z2

You know what I'll post it, here is the Zelda that made Zelda puzzle adventures games and killed action

>>8556582
That seems to be an AM1/STI co-production.

>>8555342
That's not DOA4 or DOAX2, try again

>>8556268
Your ugly ass face?

I dont get it

>>8558261
Proving his point. Persona 3 came out and since it was so popular they took all its shitty aspects and stripped it of everything that made P1, 2, and even 3 special in favor of an anime power of friendship game with dumbed down combat and emphasis on dating sim elements. Megami Tensei used to be mainline with three or four subseries at a time, including Persona. Now it's occasional mainline games with regularly released Persona spinoffs and rereleases.

>>8556578
P1 and both P2s were great games, but without playing P3/4 I gave 5 a try and its the first RPG that I feel would be a better watch than a play. I thought the characters were well written as far as I'd played, but the combat portion of the game felt really lacking.

>>8557543
>Game Freak's modus operandi to just slap a remake of their previous game on the most recent version of their engine.
lol these days people wish they still did that.
