That factory scene about 10 seconds in is pretty good looking. The GBA version of course looks better, but that's because it's later polished 2D instead of early 3D. As far as N64 games go this is definitely on the better end of the scale. Really though it's just cool to see this game's world, characters, and and scenarios in full 3D.

The issue was how slow they were progressing. If you know anything about Mother 3's story, they were around Lucas's post timeskip chapter When it was cancelled. When it was cancelled, apparently they had 80% of the assets made but 50-60% programmed. There was a post-cancellation interview which explained this, but my numbers are off. The person who talked about the development of the GBA game said the build hey had at the studio could make it to the end of the Salsa chapter before it froze.

The issue would have been them double downing on this game as an N64 game while the GC was just about to be released. Mother 64 was meant to compete with games like FFVII... not FFX. Imo, it's disgusting they didn't move it to GameCube. They just needed to hire an external studio to be the workhorses they needed for programming. Fuck Itoi for having the GBC ports of DQ influence this.

Nah, kys. Imagine hoping into a thread about a series you don't give a shit about, and pretending you have a worthwhile opinion. The N64 version would have been vastly superior, given the aesthetics weren't sterile as fuck like the GB version and it would have had the scene composition to match the atmosphere it was trying to build, unlike the GBA version and how tonally inconsistent.

Additionally - the N64 version would have been the real fucking story. It was meant to clock in at about 60 hours, versus the 20 hour summary we got.

A Gamecube version would have been great. But we would have gotten Lucas instead of Ness in Melee had that been the case.

Seeing places like Fourside for the first time as a kid is pretty mindblowing, but in reality they're not that big, they were just good at making locations seem big.

Evidence? That's one of the most cancerous tranny-SJW fanbases there are. A similar one which is the FNAF fanbase recently found out the the creator is in fact a Christian and are now refusing to associate with it.

Undertale is made by a dude who got big making Earthbound hacks. It constantly tries to ape the style of the Mother series but doesn't understand so it comes off as tacky and fake.
Every discussion about Mother 3, and to a lesser extent 2, always comes back to "LOL SANS XD" on Twitter or Reddit.

I bought the Mother Pollyanna fanbook and its full if Japanese artists, and manga artists and for some reason TOBY FUCKING FOX. He's literally not even an artist, ans he added a bunch if fucking Undertale characters. I dont even hate Undertale but it does not deserve to be that fucking popular and conflated with Earthbound, even in Japan! TThis was supposed to be a Mother 1 anniversary for fucks sakes. And somehow this dude got namedropped by thr UFO moon remix rpg and played smash at Sakurai's mansion?! The fuck. The meme isnt even just here its really bad in Japan.

That would be fine because you can usually ignore an annoying fanbase, but its like a parasite attached to Mother now. And I have to tell you a secret, I actually loved Undertale when I played it. But it just took a week to two weeks to play and after I beat it I was done and it didnt really stay in my mind. And in hindsight the pacifism was a bit preachy,
And the graphics were absolute dog shit for someone who got tons of kickstarter money and the fact DeltaRune still looks like dog shit after getting tons of money is shameful. Its some fucking rpg maker shit goddamn I dont understand. It should be like charles barkley shut up and jam or some shit??!

I blame Starmen.net, Homestuck, and youtubers.

I actually dont understand how most modern meme games become retarded meme ass things like Fnaf or whatever the fuck kids play now.

I guess its just because there's something or another that draws in people normally. Like FNAF, I remember that was something that drew in some anons on /v/ back in 2014 due to its interesting lore and setting as some no-name indie game that dropped out of nowhere. Its just that these games pick up a rabid fanbase due to fanart, people doing "lore analysis" vids, streamer bait, internet jokes that get posted everywhere, until you get completely burnt out even seeing it.
Sorta like the Sonic fanbase circa the mid 2000s, without the charm of it being a weird isolated fanbase back in the day that might've played the games.

Like 80% of the initial Undertale fanbase came from Homestuck, since he did some music for it. Homestuck was legendary for having one of the most cancerous fanbases out there. They're so bad even /co/ had to eventually kick them off the board. Undertale happened to grab the horrible intersection of the Homestuck fanbase and the Mother fanbase, giving it enough of an initial push to get noticed by a bunch of other unpleasant circles. At that point, it was running on sheer momentum.

Among Us the most recent example is a actually paid viral marketing campaign. You can clearly notice the difference in that and FNAF.

>> No.7973193

Among Us was completely natural, but probably seems unnatural if you missed the events leading up to it. Back in like 2015-ish, there was a fad among kid-focused Youtubers to play through old Flash games likes Henry Stickman and Riddle School. A LOT of them jumped on-board that bandwagon, because those videos got a lot of views. 5 years later, when their target audience were now teenagers, the Henry Stickman Collection comes out on Steam and every Youtuber who played the games back in 2015 decide to play it. So Henry Stickman suddenly gets another surge in popularity.

So the Youtubers wanted to ride this wave of popularity and caught wind of the fact that the guy behind Henry Stickman made another game back in 2018 that nobody gave a shit about called "Among Us". So out of fucking nowhere you've got hundreds of teen-focused Youtubers suddenly playing this dead game. That meant the millions of collective age 13-18 kids watching all suddenly wanted to start playing this game.

No it wasn't. It was quite obvious that he paid promotion, the dev must have paid twitch faggots to play it or something. The game is frankly terrible. There is no real appeal, it's just gay. And then, there is some sort of unfunny "ironic" spam all over social media about it. I missed no events, it is very clear what happened here.
