I'm liking the learned helplessness. Anyone else remember when people thought a SE countdown was for a FFXI expansion but it turned out to be some shitty DS game? A gajillion countdowns later, people automatically assume it's going to be something disappointing.
It's Drakengard 3, you can now carry on with your lives and pretend this never happened.
Googled for "lord of vermillion arcade" and as much as I like card games, I dont know how to feel about that huge freakin thing. Can't last long
A fucking card game lol
I can't really talk shit, I've never played a card game... but unless there's something really great about it, I'm not interested.
This ain't Yu-Gi-Oh man.
You can play it on a arcade machine.
Spoiler for size
Spoiler: show
Red things reminds me of the Shadowlord but better looking
Card games are boring. I'm not really surprised this countdown turned out to be something lame.
Sorta like how when CoP came out, everyone thought it'd be as good as RoZ was, would make as much of a difference to the game as RoZ did, and add as epic gear and HNMs with as good time vs reward ratios as RoZ did?
And now, a few expansions later, people now expect mediocrity?
Well, of 4 expansions they are 2/4 (3/4 if you ask me, I loved CoP)
I'd say people shouldn't know what to expect rather than to expect mediocrity, if anyone tries to say ToAU didn't change the game as much as RotZ I will stab them in the throat.
Actraiser 3?
on the downside, wtf is this shit? did we really need a mysterious countdown for a japan-only arcade CCG videogame? honestly?
on the upside, we get pretty new art of some FFIV characters, including a gorgeous picture of my favorite, Rydia. so that's good. if only I could remove it from the background and steal it for a sig or avatar or something... someone who's good with photoshop, do it!
Square are allowed to make countdowns for Japan only. It is on a .jp site and it was not advertised anywhere. It's not Square's fault the fans hype the shit out of anything they come up with.
nothing you stated counters the fact that this shit absolutely, positively, did not deserve a mystery countdown.
I disagree, I think it looks cool as hell. They can announce whatever they like however they like. I'm not sure why a "mystery countdown" has to be reserved for their big name shit like Final Fantasy.
