If Konami really cared about Bomberman they would have given the team a bigger budget than a $500 gift code for the Unity asset store.

The best part is that unless Bomberman R is a massive success (lol) it's going to be used by Konami to reinforce their "gently caress videogames, yay pachinko" views.

pachinko laws changed in japan such that there's way less money in it, so they'll probably keep making them but also hashing their licenses out for cheap cash-in games like the metal gear zombie game and 50 bomberman games

FE's math is insanely simple?

... Yeah? Its literally Str+weapon might minus Target's Def. And you double attack if you have 5 more speed (in the most recent games).

There are other modifiers but its all pretty basic math.

PARTY ALL NIGHT

EAT BRAINS ALL DAY


I'm excited for the Nintendo Switch by Nintendo coming out on March 3rd, 2017.

Don't forget to also pick up a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild by Nintendo.
It releases the same day and is guaranteed to take your breath away!

The Nintendo Switch by Nintendo has a suggested retail price of $299 and will be available at most retail outlets.
But don't delay! Most pre-orders have already been claimed so be sure to line up at your favorite participating retailer to pick up your very own Nintendo Switch by Nintendo!

Its bad math because you hit the end game and then enemies are waves of heavily str skewed berserkers who turn your guys into paste with 1-3 hits and a 30% chance to turn your guys into ultra paste in 1 hit, or they are heavily armor skewed generals where most of your dudes just bounce off. There's like no middle line and it's basically rock paper scissors with that % chance of being told to reatart the game because that is certainly a lot of fun. Random stats growth basically means that half your dudes are going to be either poo poo or actually usable or very rarely stupidly over strong which is sort of neat for a laugh but actually bad for challenging the player.

Using small numbers and simple math like FE does combined with random elements like crit rate and stat growth is ultra dumb, and bad. You need a lot bigger numbers to offset that sort of poo poo. A decent example is something like warcraft3 or advance wars (big numbers w/ small ranges of random poo poo that evens out across sheer volume of attacks) versus starcraft or paper mario (small numbers without random poo poo). P mario is an example of small number and simple math being reaaaally easy to abuse, fire emblem is basically that but with crit chances because ???

I am eternally mad about fire emblem

You know what though the series is actually really good tho cuz marth was in smash bros and anime is cool and good and i have already pre-ordered the new fire emblem.


Anyways i hope to shut the gently caress up about FE soon, when the nintendo switch releases probably

oh you've only played awakening on lunatic lol. there's a reason why your units have very high luck and the enemy has very low luck. also bersekers in endgame fe have such poo poo hit rates that you can just send any swordmaster against them and they'll have a 0% chance to hit them. and also the actually good fire emblems (not awakening and fates) give you tons of prepromotes that have solid enough base stats that if a unit's growths don't hold out you can just swap them in.

anyway play thracia 776, the best fire emblem. everyone has stat caps of 20 max so growths barely matter, especially since there are a ton of holdable items that increase your growths, and those holdable items also negate enemy crits and you have enough for your entire team by endgame

The problem here is that these two are the successful fire emblems so they're just going to keep making GBS threads out the same deal, and it is my greatest wish that FE would die and this would not come to be.

you could just not make the posts??

And also fire emblem echoes is an incredibly faithful remake of the second fire emblem game that seems to be keeping approximately zero of the features of fates/awakening, and they have mentioned that they are aware of some of the issues of awakening/fates gameplay-wise, so they probably will alter the formula somewhat going forward.

also thracia 776 is a snes game released in 1999. so, no, it didn't get a us release. also hector isn't in it.
