What went so absolutely, horribly, unbelievably wrong?
Lost Planet 3
3rd party studio appealing to western audiences based on what Capcom thought the west wanted.
Haven't played it but I heard everything that made the first two fun (mechs and grapple hook) were dumber down.
Has there even been a third entry in the game that's actually better than the previous entries?
I watched the recent GVMERS retrospective on the series having never played 3. Was its story really as good as the video implies?
Nothing. This series was always shit.
No.
I can't even remember how the first one ended. The first one at least had the most annoying difficulty spikes I'd ever encountered. Let me guess, Captain America in Dinosaur Land didn't get to plow Tits Mcgee at the end?
MGS3, but only if the Subsistence version counts for third
1 was boring shit
2 was amazing
3 was shit
Nah story was kinda meh and ignored a lot.
Which is really a shame as there was room in the concept for a lot of good shit.
sounds familiar...
Good to know, I didn't want a reason to check it out / acknowledge its existence
I got stuck at some big VS boss fight in a hangar and gave up. Loved and played through LP2 numerous times though
what is ben stiller doing on that cover?
Halo 3 fags will argue it's the best in the series but again they're fags.
Well yeah, these two games’ fates were pretty much identical. Games made with a Western audience in mind, then given to a Western studio with not even half as much talent as Capcom. Inafune giveth, and Inafune taketh away.
The third Sakurai mainline Kirby (Super Star)
Sonic 3&K
Onimusha. Jean reno bitches.

Looks a lot like Seann William Scott to me. I could see it being some straight to dvd bullshit syfy movie. But yeah the game sucked unfortunately and it wasn't that surprising.

Is there any way to play the second game on PC without giving my computer cyber-AIDS?
>FF3
Fuck no.
The characters are shit, the story/world is shit, dungeon design is the worst in the series, final dungeon is pure cancer and again worst in the series, it's just a less fun and more bloated FF1.
Everything FF3 does, FF5 does better.
In fact FF5 just feels like a REmake-style remake of FF3.
>Everything FF3 does, FF5 does better.
We're not talking about games that came after, dummy.
>mfw you pull off a critical chain
They really perfected the gameplay in 3, even though I missed the branching story paths in 2
FF1 is still better as a game, since it has better and more focused gameplay, better itemization, better world map, better story/lore, better soundtrack, better dungeon design and better finale.
The only thing worse in FF1 than in FF3 is the Job system, but FF3 loses to FF1 in everything else.
That's Sharlto Copley
western developers

l'd argue resident evil
The 2008 market crash creating a rolling thunder effect within businesses where if the profits weren't big enough some if not all primary members would either get shafted or seized control by big shot producers who had zero fucking idea what they were doing.
It's almost entirely why last gen was so shit.
Nocturne, P3, GTA 3, Pokemon yellow lol, Super Mario 3
If they doubled down on the Ice Planet Trucker vibe they wanted and ignored that evil whisper in their ear telling them to rip off GoW it could have been pretty good even if it would still be unfaithful.

It wasn't open world living in your truck(mech) going around hunting Akrid and searching for dynamic mining spots while dealing with storms.

You mean 60% of the spells not working properly?
I always thought he looked more like Nicholas Cage.
