Monolith Soft talks upcoming Wii U project, goal to become "the next Bethesda"

[Strength]

What?

What? The news post clearly states that they wish to keep up with next generation technology and make a game that is flashy and addicting, like Bethesda. Not make casual games.

So brave, calling a universally acclaimed game overrated.



Oh, how surprising. Puns. Yay.

Is this seriously all that the heavyweight users of GBATemp offer the user submitted news forum? Poor trolling and puns?

well said,I guess

Poor trolling? Puns?

Have you considered the distinct possibility that some people may just have a different opinion than you guys do? I don't find the game to be The best JRPG ever made, a Messiah in Video Game format and the glorious redeemer of the JRPG genre - pretty far from it. I could enumerate numerous better JRPG's even if you woke me up in the middle of the night - the game is dull, boring and incredibly slow. The characters have as much dimension as cardboard cut-outs and they're transparent - exactly what you'd expect them to be, at least from my "brief" gameplay experience which resulted in violently rejecting the game.

And no, don't give me the "You didn't play it from cover to cover so what do you know?" mumbo-jumbo - a game either draws the player in or it doesn't. I gave it more time than I usually give games and the result was disappointment. I may give it another chance when I literally have nothing better to do, but only to instill myself in the already-formed opinion - it's a fantastic world and an interesting story concept with a poor game built on-top of it, point.

Play some Persona, Radiant Historia, the Final Fantasy Remakes for the DS, Golden Sun for the GBA, I don't know - a good JRPG, anything, and then gloat about how this game is great.

great writing.

My sarcasm meter unfortunately is running a false positive.

I think what puppy_washer is saying is the three line article stated nothing about all the little arguments such as monolith being soft or making casual games; you guys broke it into pieces of whole other worthless statements...Fyi I've played all the games you listed there.

Best JRPG in the last 10 years? I would vote for Dragon Quest VIII... its just awesome.

On the subject of the OP, I wish them luck and look forward to what ever it is they make.

Maybe Nintendo will let them team up with GameFreak and make a MMORPG Pokemon.... If that happened you could expect the Wii-U to be sold out for the next 5 years straight.

That's because this site is pro-pun and the Dragon Quest series is so full of wonderful puns.

 

[PolloDiablo]

They want to make broken game?
Also Xenoblade is hilariously overrated.

 

[emigre]

Sure, repeat that many times, maybe it will become true.

DUde quit the bull you havent played th game,,Xenoblade is possibly the greatest jrpg' ever made,,saying the game is overrated thats clearly
hinting that you've never played the game.Also if u've never heard it took a big fan campain to get xenoblade localized in NOA,and its OST a mindblower.

.maybe am over reacting ..SORRY BUT

So brave, calling a universally acclaimed game overrated.

I KNOW RIGHT!

Is this seriously all that the heavyweight users of GBATemp offer the user submitted news forum? Poor trolling and puns?

Yes, yes it is.

Spoiler

 

[SparkFenix]

Well I enjoyed xenoblade so I want to see what will come of this.

Also, I still can't understand why you guys get mad when someone says the game you love sucks. Seriously some people treat their games like it's a religion.

 

[chartube12]

So they went to make free roaming games with glitches they'll fix later?

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Asking "what is the best JRPG in the past ten years" is like asking me which shit I had in the last week that was less watery.

 

[Briadark]

If the game is half as good as Xenoblade Chronicles the Wii U will be an instant buy for me!

Well obviously it was the ones that didn't involve meat... Oh wait.

None of my shits involve meats unless that was the joke.

Yes, that was the joke. I guess that was a little too inside, even for you.

 

[EZ-Megaman]

I usually love games by Monolith like Endless Frontier,, Baten Kaitos and Soma Bringer, but Xenoblade didn't really meet my expectations. I'd say that it's worse than any of the other Xeno games, but I do appreciate that Nintendo gave them time to make a complete game. Some of the others felt kinda rushed, but I still enjoyed them more. :/

 

[p1ngpong]

For the record I though XC sucked too after playing it for a few hour but yeah, whatever.

I beg you don't cry.

 

[DSGamer64]

So they want to make games that don't get properly bug tested, rush DLC out the door that is broken as all hell and make a game that is horribly overrated for it's graphics because it uses very little colour in the game design? Meh, as much as Skyrim was good, it's overrated and I don't want to see more developers put in the lack of Quality Assurance testing that Bethesda did. Developers get in over their heads that way and they wind up making the fans mad when they constantly run into bugs in their games. It's best to make a good quality game that everyone will want to play.

"Poor trolling and puns" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> wanking over Xenoblade.

Just sayin'.

 

[emigre]

I feel hurt and betrayed that I was accused of "poor trolling." HURT AND BETRAYED!
