Most underrated game and character

Let's be honest gameplay is shallow as fuck. Art style is god tier. First game is better. McGee had a hard life.

The artstyle is fantastic, but the gameplay is absolutely fucking atrocious. This is one of two games I had to force myself to finish (the other being Phantom Hourglass).
Most galling of all was the way they kept using those cheapass concept-art cutscenes to segue between levels at the climactic moments that would befit the conspicuously absent boss encounters, up until the very end only for the final boss to be a complete shitfight and one of the worst slogs in the game.

i liked it. makes me wish platinum had made an alice game instead of nier.

>>376498373
Because we've discussed both games to death and there's no future for the series.

Mcgee has a hard life.

>>376498373
I 100%d it but it's because I love that character and the artstyle was fantastic but the game itself wasn't really good. I still want a third one though.

I know we don't like open-worlds here but I'd love to have an Alice game with an open-world victorian london and an open-world wonderland

>All that cut content because EA was breathing on the poor chinks' necks

Alice is shit and so is everyone else that likes her.

>>376498373
Because EA have killed her.

And even after all the Fan Support for an Alice 3 McGee went to EA to show them and they said no too.

RIP Alice.

>>376499172
Why are you here.

>>376498373
I got rekt by some enemy really early and couldn't be bothered to find a way to defeat him. And the artstyle can't carry it.
Didn't bother playing the second game either.

>>376498373
It's a half of a game, thanks to EA.

>>376499485
I like alice too, but this sounds like a YT comment.

Mcgee vs Anthony Burch, who had it worse?

>>376498995
Is his sister still missing?

All I remember about this game is the porn.

I'm gonna go find some of that porn again.

Thanks, OP!

There was going to be an Oz game with zombies

>>376499584
yes, presumed dead.

American Mcgee bares a striking resemblance to Jude Law

Both were pretty bad games and didn't leave much room to talk about things

Second was especially disappointing because the improved combat showed promise but the game adamantly refuses to do anything with it but throw the same forgettable ennemies at you over and over.

Oh boy it's another thread where we bitch about how EA is hitler and ruins everything they touch, but it doesn't matter since the series is kill and is never coming back.

I didn't need to feel these feels OP

>>376499639

Mc Gee is still getting cucked, at least Burch got a divorce

>>376499648
I've wanted a Wizard of Oz game similar to American McGee's Alice for so fucking long.

Not really no, but people did find nude photos of Alice's sister in his possession so...

>>376499748
How is mcgee getting cucked? His sister was kidnapped and killed right? Not really comparable to just being a pathetic cuck like burch is.

Never understood this.

Then in his absence his sister gets killed. Good fucking job bud.

Has memes gone too far?

>>376499145
Do you think that's why the levels were so long? To me it seemed like the worlds dragged on for way too fucking long. I heard that one of the things they cut were actual boss battles, not counting the final boss, so maybe they just dragged each world on longer to make up for it.

>>376498714
Wow. I absolutely adored Phantom Hourglass all the way through. What made you hate it?

Is McGee's sister still missing?

>>376500064
she's with me

>>376499545

This.

Just reading the artbook made me sad how much of the great designs already half ready and in the game never actually made it into release.

I also really like how the ending is actually a bad end and no one even realizes it. Alice fantasizes about killing Bumby(obviously indicated its not real by the appearence of the Wonderland dress) then walks around in Londerland, completely lost in psychosis, the borders of hallucinations and reality gone.

Too bad EA also killed the supposed trilogy so we never get to know what happened.

>McGee had a number of stepfathers when growing up until his mother finally settled into a relationship with a transgender woman. One day when American was sixteen, he came home from school only to find the house empty and abandoned. The only things left were his bed, his books, his clothes and his Commodore 64 computer. His mother had sold the house to pay for two plane tickets and the fee for her girlfriend's sex change operation, leaving him on his own. He packed up his computer, dropped out of high school and took a variety of odd jobs, finally settling on a Volkswagen repair shop.

>>376498373
This is one of those games that were released long-ass time ago in term of "game aging", so chances are that people have already talked about everything there is to talk about in the games.
White Rabbit a cutie, tho.

They also had to cut a number of levels, but didn't have the content to make up for it so they just made what they had even longer and more drawn out so the game wouldn't be over in a matter of hours. EA really gutted the poor thing.

>>376499769
Me too. I'm so disappointed the best they could come up with was "Oz but with zombies"

>>376500489
S-source? Because holy fuck, he should have made a game based on his life instead. That shit's soap opera levels of sad.

>>376500445

>implying she wasnt doing that already.

The second half of the game was already confusing as fuck. What happened to her lawyer? What happened when she was wandering alone at night? Who the fuck is her mysterious benefactor? Where is her stupid rabbit?

>>376500547

Also, this x10. I remember threads errywhere when it came out.

>>376500680
I mean in gameplay you can control the warping

>>376500680
>What happened when she was wandering alone at night?
Do you really want to know that?

>>376498373
As much as I liked A:MR, even I have to admit it had a ton of problems (including an engine that loaded textures too slowly at times). It's the first time I ever played a game that felt like a Tom Waits song: surreal, a little rough around the edges, but satisfying if you're willing to appreciate it for what it is.
I tried to play the first game as well, but it kept crashing whenever I saved.

>>376499648
Damn, source on that? I don't care if it's concept or whatever, I just want to see it and dream wistfully about what might have been.

>>376500754

I mean, she cant be abused worse then she already was, right?

That part of visiting the lawyer and the house full of oriental shit suddenly turning into a boarded up abandoned building confused the shit out of me.

I liked the premise, I also think that at the end when she killed the bad guy, she either fully embraced her madness or according to what some anon said, she had actually gained supernatural powers at that point, which is why the guy saw her as Wonderland Alice.

whatever happened to otherlands
I heard it was complete shit

>>376501641

Alice is a superpowered psyhonaut now

Alice games are all style no substance.

Looks nice, but that's all.

Combat sucks.
Weapons suck.
Platforming sucks.

And just when you are about to do something, someone else does it for you, story wise. At least in that returns game iirc.

They are just average. Doing nothing spectacular whatsoever honestly.

The usual. EA rushed the game and cut the bossfights out. Same goes for weapons and enemies.

I really liked the sidescrolling minigames though, they looked amazing and showed how hard they were trying to make the game a varied experience.

>>376500617

Hey, write what you know! He had a batshit insane life so he has batshit insane ideas too, like when he wanted to make an Alice MMO

>>376501009
As far as I remember reading about cut content, somebody started killing her old aquaintances, old nurse with birds for example. But final game just skips that.

>>376502024

IIRC in the first draft she found that hag in her house murdered, then in the pre-release version she pushes her off the roof when she "transforms". Then in the release version she just disappears and we never know what happened.

Thanks EA again.

>>376501926
Speaking of killed games, whatever happened to that other SpicyHorse game, Akaneiro? I remember playing it years ago, it died too didn't it?

Why? I played this during closed beta and I remember one of the mods there telling us it would be free. They are just trying to scrounge up anything they could find now, that's just sad.

>>376502919
Free, but you can pay for starter pack.

>>376500041
The gameplay was fundamentally tedious, the story was boring, the temples were mostly pretty bland visually/uninspired mechanically and that central Ocean King temple you had to revisit can go straight to hell.

desu my favorite is the real one, something about that pinafore and qt grills wearing old clothes

Imagine your mother fucking loads of guys in front of you.
Then going for a trans and just get up and leave your son.
Imagine making Alice and it's good then EA rapes it.
Imagine losing your sister who is now presumed dead.

I feel so fucking bad for American

I tried madness returns, the game gets fucking dull at one point, the combat is just fucking boring and the platforming is too shallow

looks edgy

>>376499074
What would be the point of the open world London? I kind of agree with Wonderland being more open, though.

>>376505953

The entire game is literally the edgy escapist power fantasy of a mentally ill victorian girl, the fuck did you expect?

>>376505482
Agreed, plus the rabbit one. I would wife Alice Liddell.

I used to go out with this crazy goth chick who always wore dresses with Peter Pan collars and would literally try to draw blood when we had sex. Very certain she'd have hurt me if I didn't restrain her. ended terribly. 10/10 want to do again

Because American Mcgee's Alice is a little underrated gem but nobody can play it because there's no where to buy it on the internet.

Madness Returns sucks dick and I regret ever getting /v/ into this game. My biggest mistake

I started making threads about Madness Returns when it was first announced. Kept making threads every single time a piece of information came out, or new art, whatever. I'd download the phone apps and screenshot it to show /v/. I bought the art book and scanned all the pages for /v/. For months the only threads here were from me.

I shilled this game so much I should have been getting paid 50k monthly. Biggest disappointment in my life.
