Shitbags from the shitrag Breitbart are resigning because Trump is too much for them. Ben Shapiro in particular has been a waste of a human being in any number of facets.

Others leaving Breitbart too. The first comment on the tweet is someone being thankful that the SJWs are finally gone. Jesus fucking christ.

I try not to extend my targets for schadenfreude beyond politicians, career criminals, and North Korea. I'll make an exception just this once.

Don't get your hopes up yet, but there's a chance that Wild Arms may not be dead.

RIP Yahoo Games. I mean, we're all elite gamers here, none of that Flash games on Kongregate nonsense, but... Yahoo Games had a certain elegant simplicity back in the day as a place to go play chess or whatever. Alas.

They better be getting a payout from Sony if they're only on PS4.

Super circa 2004 does not approve.

But even a hope of a new Wild Arms game is completely awesome. If I had to choose one RPG series that made a return, it would probably be Wild Arms.

I think Sony, rather than media.vision, holds the rights to Wild ARMs so they probably don't have much choice in the matter.

$5 on if its not Wild Arms it is a Trigun RPG.

I think I'd choose Suikoden. But Wild Arms a close second. And somewhere after that is Grandia....'s battle system.

Speaking of JRPG series making a return... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breath_of_Fire_6

BoF6 is actually out and playable now. It is a phone/web-based game though. In Japanese. Perhaps the Zenny would be interested though?

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #1085 on:** March 15, 2016, 06:23:22 PM »

I'm going to guess it will wildly backpedal from BoF5 for actually being interesting instead of stock bullshit but for furries.q

Dark Holy Elf · « **Reply #1086 on:** March 15, 2016, 07:44:23 PM »

I never expect Djinn to troll anyone, it's so great when he does.

Also, Rob: Considering BoF5 kinda killed the series, I can't say I'd blame them.

And I'd certainly disagree on which BoF was the interesting one. The comparison between Fou-Lu and anyone in BoF5 (Elyon? Bosch?) is... not kind to the latter.

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #1087 on:** March 15, 2016, 09:04:03 PM »

I meant like... to play. The basic verbs of gameplay are actually fun in a way that BoF4's is not. Combat in 4 is something you have to slog through, whereas in 5 it's actually kind of interesting and fun.

Also 5 made the dragon being able to destroy the planet or whatever actually feel real and not them just talking it up. Even in 3, you still need help from the other party members and you spend a LOT of time beating on the final boss, even though supposedly it can wipe out civilization. In 5 if you turn into a dragon it's complete slaughter for everything in your way, and that's the way it should be. It's far, far more interesting as a finite resource that trivializes basically everything than in other games where it was just something you did on boss fights to make them go faster.

Then again that's a problem with MP-based systems in general.

Dark Holy Elf · « **Reply #1088 on:** March 15, 2016, 09:07:22 PM »

Okay yeah all of that is fair. I have some issues with BoF5's battle system implementation but it is definitely the strong point of the game and absolutely more interesting than any other BoF.

Captain K · « **Reply #1089 on:** March 15, 2016, 10:00:35 PM »

I think BoF5 would have been much more successful if they hadn't attached the Breath of Fire name to it. Fans of BoF series were turned off by the change in direction, and other people never tried it because they didn't like the past BoF games.

I know that's true for me. Didn't care for the others when I rented them so I had no urge to play 5 until I heard it discarded everything about the series.

XCOM the board game apparently did very well for Fantasy Flight, so expect to see more of this. You can make money with a complex board game at a higher price point, but licensed properties make it a lot easier to do this. FFG raked in cash with Battlestar Galactica ($50 with four $40 expansions), Game of Thrones ($60) and XCOM ($60) and I imagine the Bloodborne fanbase probably won't be too hard to draw. That's assuming they do a good job designing the game, but FFG does quite well with that.

Now here, on the other hand, is a demographic I didn't see having much overlap. Juggalos and fans of deck building RPGs.
