Do you like this game?

are you also ? if so, you first made the claim that Mother 3 is objectively better, and burden of proof is on you. do as i asked previously and explain how it's better, user. use your words.

The only thing objectively better in Mother 3 is the music by far

No.

>always wonder why this game never got translated
>get to the scene where Lucas is raped, or implied to be raped in the hot spring

Well I immediately understood at that point. Holy shit.

>The only thing objectively worse in Mother 3 is the music by far
ftfy

Mother 3's soundtrack is significantly better than Earthbound

i love it but i wish they fleshed out the story more.

Why not?

Yes

Mother 2 with Mother 3 battle system please

I haven't played it, I can't like something I haven't played yet. I like the general aesthetic and the cult aspect of the series though.

Yeah.

Then play it

Nigger I shitpost 24/7 on Yea Forums I don't have time to play any games

sounds miserable.

>we could have had a timeline in which the scrapped full earthbound 64 could've been a fully realized 3D game on the GameCube with a unique artstyle

I was blown away by Mother 1. It seemed way to meta (I don't know another word for it) to be released that early in gaming. It feels like a game that could have been released a year ago. Unlike any other nes game

Ionia forced Lucas's head underwater until he started drowning, which made him develop his first PSI. IIRC Itoi explained that the way characters get new PSI in Mother 3 is after stressful situations, which is why you always get one after the character goes through a fever. Anyway, the rapey vibe of that whole encounter was so clearly meant as a joke, even if it didn't quite land.

Yeah, it's great. I really like how it handled being a sequel yet it's own unique thing. The New Pork City buildup paid off wonderfully.
I still prefer the way the story in Earthbound captures nostalgia mixed with a bit of melancholy without feeling overly dramatic, but I wouldn't want its sequel to just mimic that.

I love Mother 3 more than the other Mother games

Same, and I finished it just this year. It's far ahead of its time in every aspect but the excessive random encounters.
A remake of it could be amazing.

New Pork City was the worst part of the game

>16 bit remake has been silent for years
Fucking when?

it's one of my favorites honestly

I'm just saying I can understand why NoA doesn't want to touch the game with a 50' pole. A joke about a drag queen fairy thing raping a young boy might be one thing in Japan, but in the US it would look beyond awful. Of course they would rewrite that scene entirely, but then you'd have journalists and superfans asking about how they handled the scene with Lucas in the hot spring.

Outside Japan, Nintendo can't really do anything but wash their hands of Mother 3 completely.

Nah.

Earthbound is better, Mother 3 is too story heavy and thus feels less fun to replay

Yes even though it makes me cry like a bitch every time I replay it

I didnt even realize the beginning of Polyyanna is the same tune that starts when the sun rises in Onett in Earthbound, before it switches to the Onett theme. Crazy.

Don't worry user I got you

What's to like about it?

So play it

Porky did nothing wrong.

No, my backlog is already too big for my tastes.

The Mother series is part of what inspired indie devs to do things like that, so to an extent that feeling makes sense. Some of the played Earthbound as children, some of them "totally played Earthbound as children haha", some read about it and spent time lurking starmen.net, and some were told it was the hot thing inspiring big indie dollar$ and aped the style despite never actually touching anything related.

>having a back log

Why even fucking live at this point.......

I want to play a lot of games. That is why I have a list of unfinished games.

because there are many more fun games to be played, user
you can't spend your whole life worrying about what could have been
try to focus on the future :)

So don't play it then no one gives a shit

>tells me to play it
>lol no one cares
seething

Now that the dust has settled, where they problematic?

If any Mother game got remade what type of artstyle would you want it to have? A peanuts-like artstyle for mother 1 would work really well.

I don't know enough about it, and have reason to think it's bad.

Phrygia has the best taste in fashion out of them, and is the closest to looking cute in this picture.

yes

Wrong and wrong.

And turning into a job/responsibility is a great way to never actually play the games

Dumb-dumb jumped the gun, you weren't in that picture Fassad.

Why do I love Mother 3 but can't even finish Earthbound?

>tfw they let claus walk away to his death and then blames you for not being an immortal psi guardian like them.

assholes.

>That ending

But it was a happy ending

Yes and the music especially

Strange, funny, heartrending. No crying until the end.

Claus deserved it

So did everyone die?

Yes

>it's also objectively better gameplay wise.
yeah I love when the first half of the game is a tutorial

Rushed. No ties to the former games in the narrative of what the previous two were. What was the catastrophe? What does this have to do with anything but Itoi saying "technology bad, nature good"?

Done by the same company that abandoned one of their own projects no less.

>No ties to the former games in the narrative of what the previous two were
What? That's not true at all

>technology bad, nature good

Low-IQ imbecile too stupid to understand a children's game, the primitive world was created by the travelers who wanted to escape the memories of their old world. Itoi never endorses it, and the game makes it clear that by doing it they were sitting duck's for Porky's propaganda and easily manipulated into coming to New Pork City and abandoning their traditional life.

Earthbound is basically just a remake of M1 but instead of having the characters be the same they're just relatives

That's when it starts getting good imo.

>Earthbound is just a remake of m1
You're retarded. Actually try playing Mother 1.

yes
I do

no, more of a vn than a jrpg

Yeah. I liked it better than Earthbound. Only thing I didn't like about it is that Boney is a bit of a waste of character gameplay wise.

No. Too fucking dour, not enough levity.

That's not gameplay, retard

M1 is shit

Was Mother 3 just another one of those "it's Japan exclusive so people treat it as the best thing on earth" deal? Feels like the love for it's fading quite a bit. Honestly the first two games were better anyway. Felt like you were casually traveling around the country/world with your best buds, with some heartfelt moments here and there but not overblown.

They're probably the best part of the game. It's weird that the game almost forgets they sent a child with a hunting knife to kill himself against a dragon, but they have some good humor and are more than just "lol boys wearing dresses".
Hallucination Mixie is cute, though.

Yes. It's still a great game, but the same thing happened with Castlevania Rondo of Blood, everyone acted like it's a god-tier castlevania game forever until more people have played it now and realized it isn't as good as people hyped it up to be.

Once again, actually try playing it, shitposter.

The only connection between 1 and 2 is giygas

So like porkys immortal?
What if his head gets chopped off though?Like the ultimate chimera that can kill anything fights an immortal thing
Like why cant you just cut his fucking head off

He would die. We don't know if Lucas and co. were actually planning on killing him, but the absolutely safe capsule stopped them before they could even try.

now that you mention it why would he need the absolute safe capsule if he is immortal?

Attached: 1533775714279.png (1004x796, 602K)

Immortal meaning "he doesn't age" not "he's impervious to all damage"

Immortal doesn't mean invincible.

i guess that makes sense

I fucking loved it once i started playing as lucas the beginning is kinda boring imo

I'm a sidequest kind of guy and despite Mother 3 not being a bad story in any way the railroading killed it for me.

There is literally no reason why you should be "trapped" in New Pork City besuides either laziness or plot reasons. And gameplay should never take second place to a flimsy narrative excuse like "You're supposed to think New Pork City is boring and the world is about to end so finish the game already!"

Depends, really. Do you feel that the dialogue post ending is canon or simply meta commentary, then it is more open to discussion. The world could be in a post-ragnarök state.

i guarantee at least half of the games on there are much, much worse than Earthbound/Mother 3.

If Earthbound EVER got a remake, it needs that claymation look

Nice generalization, faggot.

If Earthbound got remade, do you think they'd censor Magicant again?

That background music combo system was absolute garbage so I used a cheat to let me simply mash out a full combo every time. It was pretty based.

Nothing like watching bright colourful pixel art of a small boy committing suicide

It's a known flaw with emulating it.

Is it possible to make a game in this style?? Is that image from an actual canceled screenshot; I fucking dig that art direction a lot.
