It sucks.

Substandard rpg with some of the best queer representation in gaming. Wouldn't mind a remaster with some bits shredded down or altered. Suprised im even seeing this game in this subreddit, where did you hear about it?

>>713408659 (OP)
I really wanted to like this game but I found it rather lacking in comparison to Mother 2 and 1.

>>713408659 (OP)
It’s good but it’s the least repayable of the three games.

>>713408893
I will never understand how anyone could like the first one

>>713408659 (OP)
way too preachy for my liking

>>713408659 (OP)
Many years ago I tried to encounter every single enemy's front and back sprites and I almost did it but I missed the front sprite of an enemy that I couldn't go back to. This isn't entirely the game's fault but I think of it as a funny story

>>713408925
At least the first one doesn't insist upon itself with unnecessary melodrama and politics.

>>713409131
I prefer 2 though

>>713408925
it actually has the best plot and it takes itself pretty seriously the entire way through.

>>713409662

>>713409813
Pretty sure they all take themselves seriously

>>713408659 (OP)
Perfect game. Some people here don't like it and I'll never understand them.

Hinawa's death is exactly the same as that little girl in TLOU 1. A character you barely know dies and it's supposed to be emotional. We, the audience, don't have a connection to her yet.

Now, Claus on the other hand...
This could be remedied by making chapter 1 longer, or killing her at the end of 2. 1 could have been more lighthearted and adventurous before getting into the dark stuff.

I prefer Earthbound, which could only be improved by having more character dialogue and interactions. I would also have liked to see actual horrors that the 'bad future' would have spawned.

Mother 3 is reddit incarnate

the combat is fun
the story is exciting
the music is great
the enemy designs are cool
what more could you want

Earthbound's soundtrack is better

Earthbound has more varied enemy design

Earthbound 64 instead.

As a millennial whose first console was the NES, playing it way later gave me somewhat close to the full impact of why the game was so good in terms of what it did with the console.
They pushed it to the limit with every character having some dialogue and if they could have fit it in, they would have given internal dialogues using telepathy which would have taken it to the next level.

However, the soul was in the music, if it lacked the music it had, it wouldn't be half the game it was.

coomshit

Does /v/ really hate Mother 3 this much?

>>713411020
I can't say I speak for /v/ but yea I was pretty disappointed playing this game

>>713411020
The only people that like Mother 3 are mentally ill tendie port beggars that want to play it for the first time
If you've already played it, then you see that it really is nothing special and it's just muhfeels bait

>>713411020
It definitely falls short in comparison to Earthbound, that's for certain.

>>713411320
I don't even own a switch and I haven't liked Nintendo games in like 15 years

>>713408659 (OP)
earthbound is genuinely more fun, duster and boney fucking STINK compared to jeff and poo, you aren't railroaded nearly as hard and being a snes game instead of a gameboy game makes the areas larger so exploring is more rewarding, and there's no rhythm battle bullshit that means I can't auto battle through weak fights

>>713408659 (OP)
It's not the Earthbound sequel I wanted, but I really dig the Pigmasks' aesthetic so I'm glad it happened anyway.

>>713410809
thats not the fun part of the combat
you are a contrarian

>>713411020
no its just a forced meme

Melodramatic story that never actually develops any of it's characters. Same boring gameplay as the previous 2 games. Way more linear and handholdy compared to the previous 2 games. Overrated.

Anyone who says this game was so good or talks about it never played the game. And you can't convince me anyone has played this game really.

>>713411020
the vocal minority, mostly one schizo who never sleeps, eternal in his vigil to ensure that /v/ knows his opinion

>>713408659 (OP)
There was not 3 mothers to our main character

>>713412278
sure there were
Hinawa, your biological mother
Kumatora, your surrogate mother/MILF
and Ionia, your fairy godmother

>>713411020
Yes.

Was it autism?

gdi poopyjoe you were supposed to be dead

>>713412278
The main character lost his mother 3 years ago.

>>713411020
It insists upon itself.

>>713411020
Always have

>>713408659 (OP)
Mother 3 history feels too forced. Insisting even.

>>713408659 (OP)
I liked it but not as much as mother 2

>>713408659 (OP)
M1 is better.

>>713408659 (OP)
Milquetoast 3 has nothing on Earthbound.

>>713408659 (OP)
It's good. Great, even.

>>713408659 (OP)
Too pretentious

the english patch came out at a time i was really having trouble with my gender identity and it became a huge part of my identity for a while as i grew up

the game isnt perfect but it makes me cry whenever i play it cuz of association with that period of my life ive been considering suicide soon and i might play it one last time before i do it

>>713408659 (OP)
Porky hard carries the game. He was the best character in Earthbound too. Giygas sucks and is such a vague evil with bare bones motivation. Porky is just this irredeemable little sociopath who wants to turn the entire universe into his own twisted funhouse. His theme playing all through out the game is a great way to show that while he might not physically be around the effects of his actions are always present. He’s one of the best RPG villains ever.

>>713408659 (OP)
Overrated slop

>>713411020
No. There's a really vocal samefag that seems to spend his life seething about M3, and he always fills these threads with the exact same replies.

That being said, I personally didn't like M3. As a sequel to Earthbound, it was deeply disappointing to me.

The story was good even if it was super linear. Fucking hated the timed hits mechanic though. It never felt like it worked consistently and even putting enemies to sleep so you can actually hear the rhythm never seemed to matter

>>713408659 (OP)
I balled my eyes out at the end the final battle was just fucking depressing.

>>713409131
Final Fantasy 7 does that?
Including games like Half Life 2......

>>713410971
Koomatora is right there though?

>>713426045
You mean Doro?

This is the real Mother 3.
I will die on this hill.

>>713426519
It’s good but the lack of any sort of run button was brutal

>>713426706
Version 2.XX and EasyRPG fixes this. I can even play it in Retroarch with cool CRT Filters so I'm pretty content.
