Is Madoka really that good?

It's on my list to watch, but I don't know if it's really a good thing to watch with my friends or not. What's it like?

>>378109980
it's a meme. Madoka is edgy, 2deep4u trash basically on the level of something like the countless edgy pastel horse rip offs.

>>378108980
Yakuza 1-6

what? they're technically JRPGs.

Any mainline SMT game that isn't IV:A

>>378109980
It's a new spin on the magical girl genre. Basically a lot darker than what you might expect from the pictures.

>>378109980
The witch killings are stylish as fuck, and I thought it was cool that they killed off a major character in the first few episodes.

Try it, it's a short show and gets to the point real quick

>>378109384
>So you can just change the goalposts and not redefine what a good story is to exclude every game you're confronted with?

Or maybe no JRPGs qualify as good stories to him.

I happen to agree, it's all magical school girls and metrosexual demon slayers.

>>378110160
Well, if it's short and stylish, then I guess I'll put it on the list. I was under the impression that it was some long-running anime since I see it everywhere.

>>378109980
hell no it's not really that good
>>378110109
this guy basically nails it, it's just paraded around by mlp tier sad fucks who watch precure all the time and were hype to have a show they could try and taint their friends with because this one was "mature". The big shocker moment that gets endlessly fellated as hooking people is a fuckin meme, show is totally full of shit and from what i hear the movies go even more off the rails stupid. Don't waste your time. Trippy visuals though if you care about that

>>378110253
>please the /u/fag

The ending is super c/u/te

>>378109980
It's basically babby's first anime that takes a slightly darker turn than expected for a specific generation.

Still, it's entertaining enough.

Babby's first doesn't mean bad. Chrono Trigger is babby's first JRPG but it's fucking excellent. I'll give it a shot.

I still can't wrap my head over a fact a game with corruption, mindbreak, magical weapons of mass destruction fuelled by tortured humans, child killing and one of the main characters going 100000000000% nuclear got T rating.

No.

Infinite Undiscovery had an amazing plot twist

the hero of your same age is literally your father that aged back to childhood thanks to a rite that stripped him of his moon blessing glyph

Literally not a single soul on earth could see that coming

>>378110547

BoF3 had one of the stupidest though

>So they did not do a thing
>They did not kill a soul
>Yet you exterminate and outcast the few left alive because they MIGHT do something bad?
>YES ABSOLUTELY OMG ARE YOU NUTS

Great game, stupid fucking twist

>>378110873
It's interesting to note that both BoF3 and 4 are written by Makoto Ikehara and you can already see the edgelord stuff in 3 (thugs burning down the home of main characters, child kidnapping, Rei's madness and bloody revenge) but it looks like he was limited in terms of writing while BoF4 allowed him to go apeshit.

Magical girl deconstruction, it does the same with magical girls that Evangelion did with Mecha
It's a masterpiece, especially if you love the way Shaft animate it's series.
Also, if you're still not convinced : the scenarist behind Madoka is the same as Saya no Uta

SMT games don't have good stories, usually. They have great worlds with great atmospheres, but the plot itself leaves something to be desired. The same could be said for most spin-offs where the writing is enjoyable, but not exactly well written.

>>378110873
fuck that 3 was my fave 4 seemed dull and rushed plot wise

Don't know I gave it 3 episodes, and was done with it. Boring as fuck, and characters are unrelatable.

Breath of Fire IV
Kiseki series

Enough for now.

Dragon quest 5 has an amazing story.

>>378109528
This. Especially the genius twist ending.

>>378108980
Vagrant Story.

>>378124748
Breath of Fire IV is only not like that if you go out of your way to be "evil." Breath of Fire 5 would be a better pick, as it's just a dying man's journey to reach the surface before the contaminated air underground kills his loli gf or he dies from overheating due to his dragon powers.

>after having proved the world is round
So it's high fantasy? The world is flat.

this rpg we're making that involves being sent back in time to a place where generic fantasy setting takes place. (you don't know it was time travel until the end spoilers where you and the creationist god (higher then "God", creationist god rules all of time and space while God just rules over mortal plane). some generic but unique rpg events happen for first few chapters then at the end you with your unlocked modern day human DNA get in a 1v1v1 with Sataniel(gods highest angel) and The Crawling Chaos (name redacted, he's the creationist God's servent) and end up putting the world in chaos. u become angel and see the birth of modern world etc I gotta go now

>>378108980
I know it's a meme, but Chrono Trigger is genuinely a good time travel story.
If action-RPGs count, the plot of Zelda 2 is interesting despite how sparse it is. It deals with the aftermath of a typical fantasy plot in a way you don't often see.

I hate JRPGs, but stories are for movies, not games.
