Here's hoping for Mother 4: Other M
Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

I tried mother3
but
as soon as battles began I stopped playing because I cant stand that almost "text based" battle system where you "click" on attack or something your characters - which are not even on screen and just appear as NAMES lol - attack the enemies and the enemies just shake for a second. Thats so uber lazy and ugly I stopped playing.
I mean its turn based so Im not gonna love it but when its turn based it can at least be somehow visually appealing because I dont want to get bored to death when playing. Turn based and then stuff like this no thank you.
I still have interest in Mother and I also like the games setting and visuals (not the battle ones of course) so I hope they will come up with new Mother game in the future.

So what you're trying to say is that you don't like First Person RPGs?
In that case, stay away from classic Shin Megami Tensei, Dragon Quest I-VII and Shining the Holy Ark, I doubt you would like those either. I wouldn't say it was lazy either, just a design choice that's looking back to a past gaming convention that was almost universally accepted; from the little I've seen of the Mother series I would say it is anything other than lazy.

In another thread you hadn't heard of Fire Emblem and now this? I'm guessing RPGs or Nintendo 1st party games aren't your area of speciality, lol.

No not really. I am more the average game (not Hardcore). I know recent games and some of the famous old ones like Crash or Spyro. But some niche games are not for me.

You've never played Melee or Brawl, i take it? That's where most Western gamers learned of these games.

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

I have rented Super Smash Brothers Brawl two times and played it for a few hours but only with the familiar characters. Never really cared about the others.

I do like first person RPGs when they are like skyrim etc. Or well when I see myself /an arm wielding a sword or gun whatever. (i would probably not play COD or BF3 or PerfectDark or TimeSplitters when I would not see any arm holding a gun)
And btw I highly doubt that Mother is a first person RPG because I have a party of 4? people how the hell would that be a first person rpg? At least I should be ablte to see the other 3 members then right? Or do they mix up into a strange monster where everyone is inside the same body with 4 heads and 8 arms and stuff :) ?
BTW noone said the Game was made lazy they just didnt care to make a better "battle screen/hud/whatever"-

Yup, named after the Beatles song (or is it John Lennon's only, I forget) Mother Amazing series, really one of the best RPG series around. Reason: it's so imaginative. |
from when is it?
