Why does /v/ hate this game so much?

>>388881654
Its bad

The rest of the games in its series are better.

>dude tournaments

>Let's take our interesting cyberspace setting and add a generic kid's shounen "THE DARKNESS" plot to it.

>>388881654

>removes themed dungeons for events that take place on the internet maps
>fetch quests out of the ass
>forces 3 playthroughs to get all the chips
>bad translation

>the translation is shit
>it's buggy as hell, some of those bugs are actually game-breaking
>the plot is bad even by MMBN standards, that's a real anti-achievement from the devs
>the game is just so fucking repetitive: go to a tournament, meet challenger, do something with the challenger, have the actual fight
>worst of all, all the challenger scenarios have idiotic premises and are tedious to complete, having shitty minigames, shittier gimmicks and backtracking
>want to see all that shit? better complete the game 3 fucking times bro

Also, the postgame content is shamefully bad both in quality and content. Shame!

So that game is evidently a low point. But entice me, having never played a Battle Network game aside from Network Transmission, to play the series.

Have you even played Blue Moon before? It'd be hard to convince you if you haven't even touched a single game in the series.

Play 3.
