    they did not flop, they performed close to expectations (but would have sold more if not for their moronic price point)

        What exactly was Sega expecting? I seriously don't fricking understand it. How can suits be THIS stupid? You REALLY expected 3 rereleases of DS games for an already niche series priced at FORTY BUCKS EACH to sell fricking GANGBUSTERS? That has got to be the STUPIDEST SHIT I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!

            Etrian Odyssey's and Dungeon Travelers' may as well be pirate-exclusive with how shit their releases were. It's no wonder they both sold like garbage.

          I suppose they figured that as Etrain Odyssey is an incredibly niche series that only has a cult following, the cultists would be prepared to pay more for it than the wider market.

          You can sell 10,000 copies at 40 bucks or 20,000 at 20 bucks, but you've only made the same amount of money.

        They said "new titles" (sonic + etrian together) were below expectations, why do you gays ignore sonic
        Etrian could have done relatively well but if sonic flopped then that still means "new titles" as a whole underperformed
        But of course Gankerirgins will ignore this again to make the same ">80 dollars >no untolds >denuvo" posts

          Because it's literally Sonic, one of the most popular IPs of all time with most of the best games in the franchise combined into one collection.
          If anything flips, it was the EO remasters since it's a more so niche franchise.

              Sonic is a series that remains live and active because it's literally a popular IP, no different from Pokémon.
              People don't give a shit if the games are bad or play terribly because in the end of the day, it's Sonic.
              Just like how Forces sold millions of copies despite having a poor reception.
              So of course, Origins wouldn't be a flop given it's Sonic + nostalgia bundled into one. It's the EO games that flopped, especially when it's pretty niche.

    I really liked EO3 with the mod, got somewhere around the third stratum with the broken glass cannon builds and lost interest for now, but I really don't think this sort of game works on a desktop/PC for most people. It's best on handheld to kill time.

    No, it doesn't get "better" later. Near a 100h in the fricking game and it was always the same, it was just grind until you could autobattle everything because you cannot waste mana.

    If I wanted a grind game I would play one that is fun doing so, like fricking Disgaea holy shit. Even Dungeon Travelers is better than EO, I fail to see how anyone can find EO better than any other dungeon crawler.

        >do you not understand the CRAWLER part of a dungeon CRAWLER?
        The one where I don't waste my time or make me do things between the backtracking. You know, like good games unlike Etrian. When I'm backtracking in something like Legend of Grimrock, things happen or I can visit other places - I'm not in a constant "ok back to the same .png merchant to sell shit or get mana". Meanwhile in other crawlers, I just have the ability to teleport and avoid wasting time doing nothing but autobattling my way out of garbage floors.

        >a skilled player would clear every single game in this franchise in less time than that, you're just genuinely shit m8
        A player that knows the game can finish the game quick? WOW! You're so smart anon.

        play 4

        stop breathing with your mouth

        I will not waste time with more EO trash. I can literally play any other Dungeon Crawler that it'll be a hundred times more enjoyable than this piece of garbage. Even with how mediocre dungeon travelers is, it's still a better game.

        Skill issue.
        You played the first one didn't you? 1 and 2 are dogshit, sorry. There's a reason the Untolds were made.

        Tried 1, really awful. Got told the same of "m-muh 3" tried that one, spent 70h on it and noped the frick out. Made me want to simply replay the Labyrinth series instead.

        The game bombed not because of Denuvo, not because of the price, but because it was garbage then and it is garbage now.

            Yeah yeah, anyone that doesnt' like your garbage is bad at vidya. Gee, I wonder why there was no problem with literally any other fricking dungeon crawler?

            >Legend of Grimrock
            You actually played that finnish shitpost in a game form?

            Both of them, really good game at that. The second being much better than the first even. Also played the Vaporum games and finished them.

            >Made me want to simply replay the Labyrinth series instead.
            Labyrinth of Refrain/Galleria are some of the shittiest dungeon crawlers, only above Mary Skelter. The presentation is nice but the combat is completely braindead. If you're using that as your golden standard, I don't know what to tell you besides "git gud".

            I wonder what the hell "git gud" has anything to do with the massive amount of problems that Etrian has compared to any other dungeon crawler. I wonder why I can go on max difficulty with any other game, do it just fine but when I select hard on Etrian all I do is waste my fricking time.

            So the Labyrinth series combat is braindead? What about Etrian? I have spent more time doing autobattling (or just mashing the OK button for attacking even with the healer/mages) in Etrian than in Labyrinth. Now, let's say that Labyrinth games actually have sleeper combat and somehow say that Etrian is not sleeper.
            Labyrinth series allows me to grind in optimal ways that are engaging with the exponential EXP stacking and moving from floor to floor with tricks like destroying walls. It allows me to teleport and come back to the same spot I was on quickly. It allows me to quickly level up characters that are not even in combat just in case I want to switch things if I frick up with a build. As you mentioned, it has good presentation and a surprisingly good story in both games. Both games have hard encounters that reward the player who creates a good party composition.

            I don't think that Labryinth is the "golden standard" but it's definetly a hundred times better than Etrian is. Notice how the only thing everyone here say as a counter argument is "you are bad".

            I am sorry that you guys think that Etrian is hard, it is but not because of combat or anything like that - but because it's hard as frick to WANT to finish the fricking game.

              EO has all of those things in shortcuts, retiring, combat study. The only thing it doesnt is exp stacking which doesnt even matter since the only way you could be underleveled in the first place is if you recruited a brand new character halfway through, or repeatedly fricked up your builds and rested every other floor

    It is a mystery. Despite that Next Stage still won't get cancelled because Fatlus never does that, plus they themselves said that part of the reason for these HD versions existing is because they want fan feedback on the map drawing controls, so they could apply that to the new game that they've been making since fricking 2016 or some ridiculous shit.

    I was having a lot of fun with EO3 as my first game, on Expert difficulty. I'm near the end of Stratum 3 and suddenly started losing steam. I think the gameplay loop just started to get old. My character builds are pretty much figured out so level ups aren't as exciting anymore and I'm strong enough that random encounters have become more annoying than threatening.
    I might just stop here and take what good I can out of the experience rather than try to force myself to finish it.
