Its funny that Sonic Lost World is 'ripping off' Mario, but Codename: STEAM and Splatoon are just giving off a 'Valkyria Chronicles' and 'JSR' vibe. Must be good being Nintendo.
The games aren't even alike outside of Nintendo trying to copy SEGA's style and making it for kids. So go ahead and drink your hateraid.
I don't know what STEAM is, but Splatoon looks pretty different to JSR apart from the paint and some clothing.
Sonic Lost World looked a lot more like Mario Galaxy in terms of the world designs/gimmicks from what I saw. I think both are silly comparisons, but I would hardly say Splatoon 'Rips off' JSR. I'm genuinely surprised people are making all this fanart, I never saw the connection myself. :/
Are you saying they should be blasted for 'ripping off' JSR, or saying they are nothing alike apart from a vague 'vibe' though?
Seeing something like that bums me out.
Me too. I want another JSR, but it's never EVER going to happen.
You guys accuse them of foul business practices yet mock their failure with the Wiiu in the same breath. The whole reason for this amiibo strategy is to dig them out of the hole they've dug for themselves. Would you prefer they just become a pitiful developer of mobile games like some other companies I won't mention?
Dude, you need to knock this off. Didn't you grow up a Sega fan playing Football Manager on your Sega Saturn like the rest of us? Next you'll be saying that Total War wasn't your favourite Sega franchise on the Mega Drive. Not to mention their great new IPs like Jack motherfucking LUMBER.
For real though, Sega do still make Yakuza which is Godlike (even if they don't translate it), and Virtua Fighter 6 is coming, oh yes. While not traditional Sega franchises, I'm also one of the only people here who likes Company of Heroes 2 and Total War games used to be good as well. It's not quite fair to call them mobile phone developers, as much as I like to do so myself, there is some good left in Sega. Not much, but some.
As for the Amiibo thing, I don't get this hatred towards it. It's like a figurine that adds very minor content to your game :/ I don't really feel it's shady, although I dont' know how much it actually unlocks. I understand it's pretty basic fluff content that isn't really important (much like Sega's costume packs for VF5 and it's related single player content)
