Thoughts on the Mother/Earthbound games?

>>713615773 (OP)
only weird people like them

>>713615773 (OP)
the game all quirk chungus indies take inspiration from but no one plays

>>713616350
i progressed to the tenya dinosaur land and got all 7 sanctuary locations

>>713615773 (OP)
People with asthma have it tough.

I played Earthbound Zero up to Magicant and it was not a good game. Did not make me want to play Earthbound or Mother 3

>>713616187
Can't be weirder than deltatroon fags

mediocre gameplay even for the time, carried by good music and aesthetics

>>713615773 (OP)
I only played Mother 1 and it was absolute garbage, even by jarpig standards.

Mother 3 is the best one
Porky Minch is the best character

I like the games. Overrated and fanbase have too many tumblr and X trannies, but still cult classics.
Is one of the "good game, but bad fan community" cases.

Whoreatora shouldn't be trusted around young boys and wildlife

It's a much more sincere series than the fanbase lets on. Felt like the coming of age storytelling and grounded setting and cast took much more focus than the "quirky humor".

Or kids with good upbringing get their families torn apart, a lot of psychological damage, sleepless nights due to lightning falling on their homes, and become accessories to their brothers' suicide.
Ness is spoiled rotten.

I love the Earthbound series, they're my favorite games. I can't wait until I actually play them for the 1st time one day!

Great RPGs as long as it's not your first, second, or 10th RPG. Subversion is best when you have a few DQs and FF under your belt.

>>713615773 (OP)
Earthbound is one of the funniest games i've ever played. Made me laugh out loud way more than any of those modern games that proudly describe themself as funny like the stanley parable and its cohorts. Only game i can think of that made me laugh harder was Felvidek and that game is like ten times shorter than earthbound.

>>713618678
i can't hate them since they make so many fan projects and keep the community alive.
but i do kinda hate the attitude that "m3 must be localized" even though nintendo would just find a way to ruin it and we have a great translation already.

>>713625136
i still laugh at ness's dad being a telephone to this day

>>713615773 (OP)
how...did it...break you...

Love M2, love M1.
Never finished M3.
M1 really left an impact on my young mind. It wasn't just a port going by the localized name, it was completely different.

>>713626447
>m3 must be localized
I was excited to see M3 release at all and I was sort of holding out on a localization back then but have come to terms with it. On a side note, not only do I hate the crowd who wants an official localization of M3, I especially hate the remake/master crowds who want a collection in HD or worse, claymation graphics.

And the Mother 4fags are another can of worms altogether.

>>713627250
>or worse, claymation graphics
i never got the appeal of claymation graphics either.
the link's awakening remake looked like ass.
i don't think mother games really need remakes.
but if there were remakes i'd want them to keep the same 2d artstyle or use smash's 3d style for the characters if 3d.
i was playing maternal bound and the run button was enough qol for me. that was my biggest gripe with m2.

>never finished m3
what's up, anon?
was it too big a departure from the first 2?
i mostly just don't like the chapter system ganeplay wise.
first 7 hours of gameplay feel like they don't matter and it's a 30 hour game.

HOLY CRAP LOIS

>>713628085
I never got around to finishing it, that's all. If there's any way to keep Mother alive, it's cramming all of its party members in the playable roster of Smash, I wouldn't mind having Paula, Poo or Ana given that they actually use offensive PSI.

>>713629218
I wish Niiue's design wasn't furry crap. He should've been a little girl with snow colored skin and long blond hair wearing Ninten's clothes. The blond hair is not enough of a callback to Maria.

>>713629593
Why would he troon out? His desire is to be Maria's child not to become a girl lol.
I get what you mean but I like the fake out of "This is such a retarded OC and he's dressed like an idiot" and then after his identity is revealed it becomes "He's dressed like an idiot but that's actually completely in character" it feels full circle

>>713629593
>I wish [thing]'s design wasn't [fetish I don't have]. He should've been [fetish I have].

>>713629412
i'd honestly love giegue, porky, or masked man in smash but it's unlikely mother gets more reps, which is fine.
there's pmex anyway for masked man.

What you think of the incoming Mother Encore?
And do you think Either Oddity or the "recent" Mother 4 project will happen

>>713635271
encore sure.
oddity/m4 never.

This thing prevented me, and likely many others from playing CogDis and whoever came up with it should be killed

>>713635271
It's zoomified fanfiction. what would happen if you locked some skibidi discord users in a room and forced them to make a game based only on a brief wikipedia summary of mother 1 and a let's play of mother 3. let them cook.

I dig Mother Encore. The only problem it has is that it doesn't convey the oppressive atmosphere the original had at all. If feels too much like Mother 3.

>>713635271
I cannot get myself to care about fan projects

>>713640303
cool, hope you finish it!

>>713637938
This, and that's a little offputting. Making an original title with said animations and tone would have done a lot better.

>>713635271
I don't think about them at all. I try not to think of western MOTHER fans. We all know what they are like.

>>713635271
it's ok. for some reason they felt the need to put in an ao oni jumpscare in one of the demo updates that also opens up some wikia link in your browser. pissed me off.

>>713615773 (OP)
The only one I have finished (multiple times) is the first one, the others two always bore me before finishing them. They are quite nice, not bad for DQ clones.

I don't want a mother and a deltatrune thread on the same catalogue. Sage grows on all the fields, eat shit deltatroons.

I think Mother 1 had the best non-gameplay stuff but the worst gameplay out of the trilogy.

>>713647561
i'm kinda looking forward to that remake that was being made in EarthBound's engine

Any indie games that are Mother-like games worth to play?

just realized that they were trying to imitate the Peanuts specials with this song

m1 is secretly the best one

>>713649084
i knew it was special when i got to Youngtown

Remember the part where Lloyd got run over by a semi truck and only suffered 15 points of damage, what was that about?

>>713647561
i felt the opposite. its difficulty made it significantly more fun.
jrpgs are such a braindead genre that even a slightly harder-than-usual game like Mother 1 filters a lot of people. which is funny.

>>713649347
the problem is that mother 1 isn't very hard. it's just grindy and the encounter rate is bad. even DQ2 has a more reasonable encounter rate.

I love all of them... sexcept for Milquetoast 3.

>>713635271
>fan projects
>you just know it's made by trannies and faggots
miss me with that shit

>>713648109
I'm a big fan of this one called HorrorVale. But it's a little hard to recommend because of the usual issues these games have, like being made in RPGmaker and referencing so much that it feels like it lacks an identity of its own at times. Also, it's a game made for Halloween, and it's the middle of summer. So it'll feel kinda off if you play it right now.

>>713615773 (OP)
better than deltatroon and undertroon in every way

>>713649435
>the problem is that mother 1 isn't very hard.
true
>it's just grindy and the encounter rate is bad.
nah

>>713615773 (OP)
I give, whats the best way to play this series
Preferably, for free

>>713650959
emulate m1 eng patched in m1+m2 gba.
emulate maternal bound for m2 or just emulate earthbound snes if you're a purist.
emulate m3 gba.

>>713649453
>sexcept
what did you mean by this?
