Lunar: Dragon Song is the WORST game ever. In fact, it's so bad and horridly designed, I don't even want to play any of the possibly ACTUALLY GOOD Lunar games. I hate the Lunar series with a passion because of that ONE game. You took damage for running, you were forced to choose between either items of EXP, the leveling system was bullshit, the battles were too slow, and you ACTUALLY HAD TO SPEED UP THE BATTLES JUST TO GET THEM OVER WITH. When battle becomes a CHORE that you WANT to be over with, you're designing our RPG WRONG. It didn't help that the characters and story were bland as all Hell, a lot of NPCs were just lazy recolors, and so were a lot of the enemies, and the bosses were hard as balls, for bullshit reasons, no less... HELL... YOU COULD NOT EVEN CHOOSE WHERE YOUR BASIC ATTACKS ARE GOING TO HIT! There was one boss, who if you hit a certain part of his body, he would counter and possibly wipe your party. You could only use spells, the animations of which are awful and horrid. The worst part of that fight? If I was given the option to target which part of its body I had wanted to hit, he would've died in a few turns. YOU INTENTIONALLY MAKE A BOSS FIGHT INFURIATING?!! FUCK YOU, LUNAR DRAGON SONG! Don't even get me STARTED on the presentation. My God was it awful. The game was released in 2005. There was no fucking excuse for why the game turned out looking as awful as it did. It had crappy sprite work that a ten year old could make, possibly making it better, the dungeons were bland and forgettable, and the only thing good about the presentation was the music, and even that was mediocre. Overall, a terrible game that my 14 year old brain decided was good because "animu".
About Tekken 7. I don't see any bad decisions being made. The game runs at 60 fps, with gorgeous textures and character models, and the fighting system looks like it's a lot of fun. Yoshimitsu looks a little weird, and Lucky Chloe looks a little too cutesy, but other than that, I don't see too many problems or things to even so much as nitpick about. Don't like Lucky Chloe? Don't play as her. Don't like Yoshimitsu's design? Change it. Don't like Catarina or Claudio? Don't play as them. Realize that playing as the new characters is a CHOICE and it's not being forced on you. Also, don't like Rage Arts? You don't have to use them. I have seen plenty of footage of people not using Rage Arts and still winning fair and square. These new mechanics and characters are not being shoved down your throats, so stop getting pissy about em'. If they're in there, they're in there, plain and simple.
If anything, Tekken 7 looks just as good as Street Fighter V is looking and looks fitting for a next gen console. So, stop bitching and killing my hype for Tekken 7. Your negativity towards the game does nothing but hurt the community as a whole. Thank you!
TL;DR: Lunar: Dragon Song ruined Lunar for me because it was terrible, and I can't believe I fucking bought that fucking piece of mother fucking garbage. Tekken 7 looks good, and you're not being forced to use new mechanics or characters. Your negativity is affecting the Tekken and FG communities badly, and I understand if you want to criticize the game, but please save it for when the game is out and you have played it for yourself. Thank you.
Bonus: New Doom looks amazing. I literally almost had an orgasm watching the trailer. I can't believe Id is going back to their roots, but with better graphics! This is the Doom that I feel fans are looking for, and as a huge fan of the Doom games (yes, even Doom 3; shut the fuck up, it was good for what it was. Bite me), I have to say that I am SUPER impressed and I can't wait to see what the final product will look like.
