Games are simply missing the dedication and spirit shown by
these fine gentlemen.
FRD actually listens to their fans and try to emulate what they want, now if you look at a lot of other game developers out there do they do this?
Maybe... if A LOT of people complain, and even worse they are always trying to re-invent things... when they could probably release a graphical update of so many old games, with a few new weapons and levels... and see such a huge profit margin..
And yes you mentioned something about balance Akazukin, so many games today are not very well balanced, and people tend to stick to one weapon or class or whatever.. in a sense i suppose we are losing the originality and diversity that we have known in the past IMO
I'll post some better thought out things later.. afk drinking myself to death.
