>mfw people hate the power of friendship in vidya and

i like games where you can choose between the power of friendship and the power of edgy shit

I prefer variety, the same thing over and over again just gets old

and there just happen to be too much power of friendship, need to balance it out

hey why not both?

like, the game's about the power of the friendship you have with your edgy shithead friends

It's all about the presentation anon. Take Metal Gear Solid and Xenoblade for example, two games that either focus on edgy murder and violence, or kiddy garbage and love and friendship.

See, they both fail because they're nothing more than cinematic experiences. The story isn't woven into the gameplay, but rather, it constantly interrupts the gameplay ever 5 seconds so you can be told what emotion to feel, or who to hate, and the game never lets you think for yourself. It's an abhorrent practice that only holds back the industry.

Kingdom Hearts has metaphysical concepts become reality and affect thus. This is why determination and "I fight for my friends" works--especially true when you wield a magical weapon whose sole power relies on you having ties with others and gaining determination for their sake as well as yours.

Power of friendship makes perfect sense in settings where it actually affects shit and isn't some contrived asspull powerup at the last second. See the Persona series for another good example, where the entire point of the game is to gain power from social links.

Of course, it usually is done incredibly hamfistedly, so that's why it's panned universally unless done in a well-executed manner.

If you've spent a lot of time here and still stick by those tastes then you're far from boring. Alternative is the norm on /v/ -- liking Persona is ironically more boring than liking CoD.

Dio Brando did that, though. The problem comes with his arrogance and don't have all his men attack the protagonists at the same time.

Persona 4 has the biggest power of friendship asspull. Persona 4 MC literally cannot do shit without his friends, and that's canon. Narukami is afraid of being alone and the idea of it causes him to breakdown

P3MC has the power of friendship but MC doesn't rely on them, he just knows they're important and values them, but he doesn't fear being alone. Movie touches on this more since they actually gave him a personality. Well it's just not the power of friendship, but the power of the whole universe

It's from the anime, golden, and the arena series.

In arena he goes on and on about how much his friends mean to him, and he hates being alone

in the OVA in the anime he loses the will to fight when he realizes he has to go back to the city and leave everyone

It didn't have the over the top powers of the other games and wasn't as colorful, I can see why people didn't like it. I'd like to see them do an advance wars 2 style system again but with the DoR piloting system, all the other CO power stuff after super CO powers got way out of hand. DoR I think also suffed from too much overlap in CO abilities, Tabitha and Lin served a somewhat similar role as the "strong CO zone but has to build it up" characters, Isabella overlapped with both Will and Gage, etc.
