Christ dude, calm down. Don't you think it's a little hypocritical to call DoR edgy dark shit and in the same breath say that gory combat would be a welcome change?

It was just a more serious game than the other ones, wherein stuff you'd expect to happen in war actually happens, like more than just nameless mooks dying, everything not being super bright and colorful, people outside the battles actually being effected by the fuck tons of fighting going on, etc.

>>285337310
DoR isn't even edgy.

>>285339775

Well the more demanding the strategy game becomes the more puzzle-like it's going to end up.

If they aren't harsh they'll just end up with a game where you can win no matter what you do. Not that it matters anymore since the series is on probably permament hiatus.

I'm looking forward to codename: S.T.E.A.M though, seems like a pretty good replacment since while it's character based they don't level up. So it's somewhere between Fire Emblem, Advance Wars and Valkyria Chronicles.

More than anything else I just found the characters a bit too dull/one-note. I actually dug the setting, even if it was more generic overall I suppose. The gameplay was good enough but the story failed to retain my interest (I am talking about the NA translation and not the EU translation, before someone brings that up) The lack of other single player features like the War Room didn't help.

Also last I checked the multiplayer for the game was still incredibly unbalanced despite the smaller cast and all that? Guys like Waylon and the navy guy being ass and Cauler being OP, or something like that.

>I don't like the characters and the story
as if the story in the previous games was anything remotely relevant

the characters being worse I can understand though, even if I disagree

and in any case, DoR rewarded good play, you could destroy the CO unit to neutralize the CO power/zone, and you leveled your own units, as opposed to the previous games giving double the CO power to the guy losing units

it had the best OST
it had the best story (this isnt saying much, but it was great)

But the gameplay was a lot more tedious and boring: siege cannons OP as fuck, absurd rise of the infantry cost to 1500, powers being meaningless, missions designed to be played for 60+ turns...

overall it was a great game but it's still the advance wars I had the less fun with.

>>285345803
I used story and characters interchangebly there, the game failed to retain my interest because the characters were mostly uninteresting for me is what I meant.

Like I said, if the game had a War Room mode then maybe I'd like it more. I can't remember if the story battles in DoR were just blandly designed or something but I wasn't having fun, and in the older games I got the most fun out playing the harder War Room maps.

I'd be all for a DoR sequel with a War Room and more everything.

It doesn't really affect the overall story but it'll improve your view of the characters. They're pretty funny and interesting.

None of these games are similar, how does that work? VC (atleast the first one anyway, dunno about the others) is a pretty simplistic and linear-in-approach SRPG and FE is just straight up bad gameplay-wise, which makes it sound even weirder.

Advance Wars should stay dead if you guys are gonna be fags about it.

I really want someone to buy the IP off of Nintendo. Not even hating on Nintendo or anything but I fucking love this series and the IP has just been wasting away unused for a while now.

AW and FE aren't really similar at all either, I dunno why people keep telling me to play FE instead since it's "replaced AW" apparantly.

>>285346879
You realize part of the problem of earlier advance wars games was that they stalemated too easily, right? There is no problem of "stalling forever" in DoR.

>>285347730

You see, my little autistic friend, the point is that AW didn't need it.
If you want to play a balanced game there are many other games that offer that.
That's what I do when I want a balanced game, unlike you that expect the entire world to adapt to your narrow minded views.

Now keep posting dogs and trying to act superior, you fucking retard.

>>285348576
I'm surprised you know about the mass arty problem but still think DoR is the game that stalemates more. There are a few reasons why DoR is much better off:

>damage formula change weakens infantry meatshield
>b copters more powerful, leading to more diverse armies and more weaknesses in a defensive line
>co powers that reward offense instead of defense
>co unit which can act as an offensive spearhead/wallbreaker

you like being overpowered, and that is fine, just don't be surprised when people with actual taste call you off on your bullshit

using Hachi's CO Power and getting double the amount of Neo Tanks and then switching COs to Kanbei and steamrolling over the AI gets old fast for non-simpleminded people

for the single player it's usually fine because lots of missions are near bullshit and the AI sees through fog, but in the war room in general and PVP then it's shit

They should just turn the Fire Emblem into a Visual Novel franchise. I doubt most of it's fans would mind.

>>285348418
I like the increased movement and the better defenses of the duster for turtle situations. Copters can get hit by tanks and the like but dusters are planes and not copters so much less can hit them.

>which sucked shit by the way
It was different to hte previous games, that doesn't make it bad. For one thing it had actual balance.

>>285347238

It's a character based(Fire Emblem) with no level ups(Advance Wars) grid based(Fire Emblem/Advance Wars) with shooter mechanics(Valkyria Chronicles) and squad based(Valkyria Chronicles).

You should play the demo if you have a 3DS because it's really good in my opinion.

>>285348969
The game was hardly given a chance, really. Nintendo never even tried giving it a proper Japanese release.

>>285346291

>>285350017
Not knocking the presence of having to acknowledge unit placement (which would be ridiculous), I'm saying that it's the only element of strategy those games tend to have.

FE has too much RNG. Fucking character stat growth is dependant on RNG, the series creators even admit that they savescum their characters into growing in a specific way.

>>285349796

>>285350339
>This denial

Most Fire Emblem fans actually enjoyed almost every entry that came out in the west and Awakening has brought in more new players than Advance Wars ever had players.

But I guess you can be happy with Advance Wars on hiatus due to lack of interest. Fire Emblem If was the big reveal of the last Nintendo Direct for a reason you know?

http://web.archive.org/web/20120426182037/http://www.edge-online.com/features/making-advance-wars?page=2

>But for SRPGs, you’ve got to know the rules before you start. So, with Advance Wars, even though there wasn’t a plan to release it outside Japan, we made it really easy to play. We put a really good tutorial in, so people didn’t need to read the manual. And when the US marketing people played it they came to us and said: ‘But this is great! Why can’t we sell it over here?’ And it seems that Advance Wars’ success shifted Nintendo’s attitude over western tastes.” Nishimura, who also worked as director on Fire Emblem, makes it clear that game would never have been released in the west had AW not paved the way.

Advance Wars lead the way for FE in America by showing IS that people would play a Nintendo strategy game, and now FE's left AW dying in a ditch. rip in peace
