You fell in love with a game and it's characters, sunk hundreds, maybe even thousands of hours into it. It became a comforting, immensely satisfying part of your daily life. Then you heard a sequel was coming and got really hyped but when it came out it was utter rubbish...

Which game(s) was that for you?

Puyo Puyo Tetris. I put out a lengthy video essay about how this game is directly responsible for everything wrong with the series today, and a followup.

TL;DR: Outsold every main series game, and by an order of magnitude. Succeeded in spite of Puyo Puyo rather than because of it, did a terrible job making new players actually want to play Puyo Puyo and just led them to bounce off it and play the other game instead. But even in spite of how much I initially disliked it as a game, I thought its success could lead to bigger and better things for the series, perhaps we could finally get a main series game localized next. Never happened, instead Sega rehashed this crossover four times. Main series is dead, never coming back.

I have never seen such strong opinion about Puyo puyo WTH?

[–] missingno@fedia.io 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm passionate about my favorite game. I'm sure you have games you're passionate about, right?

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Fair and valid point Sir tho you have to admit Puyo Puyo hardcore fans are a rarity.

[–] missingno@fedia.io 1 points 5 days ago

Well, we'll remain rare as long as Sega does such a terrible job marketing this series...
