MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

@Phoenixflambe
Maybe both?

The game makes it Canon that Hitch is a ladies man

(One if the side quests is Sunny helping a unicorn called Primrose find some fancy clothes so she can look pretty for her date with Hitch)

We’re inching closer to that official dating sim.

@Background Pony #E0DA
You should wait till the comic influences the show before making that claim, I think.

So Hitch is the new ‘Big Mac gets all the mares’ meme?

Finally, a cartoon horse I can live vicariously through.

Finished the game and

I knew it wasn’t going to be anything groundbreaking but Come on

Ikr?

I enjoyed MYM and I didn’t have high expectations for it. Some are acting like it is G5’s job to be ‘as good as G4’. G5 will never be G4 and that is not a bad thing. I enjoyed all nine seasons from G4. Yes, even episodes 24 and 25 from season 9 and the finale. No, I don’t fell superior because I liked all nine seasons neither do I feel special. It’s just that I never have high expectations. I do have expectations but I don’t think I will ever be devastated by MYM.

So what’s the game about? Does it tie in somehow or is it just a retelling of yesterday’s special?

Likewise is there any more content than the 20 more preview showed? ’cuz, uh, it looked pretty sparse.

@Dustcan
A Maretime Bay Adventure kinda is its own story… That also relates to the Make Your Mark special, because both involve the Maretime Bay Day.

With that game I am curious at if it can be modded. And to what degree

@GoodVibesGorgeous
I don’t think Hasbro intended for this game to be canon in the first place.

if they did they would have said if it takes places anywhere between the canon.

Oh, and a very, very, very small comment about the Make Your Mark special: I like the how its ending credits look. I hope the ending credits for the series itself keep the special’s aesthetic, but crediting the VAs properly.

Is it time to accept that G5 isn’t going to be as good as G4?

@Background Pony #E0DA
Nope.

With how poorly Make Your Mark is being received, it’s not looking good.

@Background Pony #E0DA
I thought that was supposed to be our starting point.

@Background Pony #E0DA
Because Bronies complain about freakin’ everything. It doesn’t mean it will fail. The first EqG movie was poorly received and still had sequels, not taking in account the fandom’s opinion.

I think you’re destined for disappointment if you keep going into G5 with expectations that it should be worse, just as good or better than G4.

@Background Pony #A1EF
Yeah. It may be in the same universe, but it doesn’t need to be the same thing. Like the stuff from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, all (or most of it) more or less in the same universe but with distinct features.

On another note, I wished they used the concept art for TYT Hitch rather than the official design. At least he’s more normal looking there.

@Background Pony #A1EF
So like, any expectation at all?

You essentially have to have not consumed pony media for the past decade to keep an unbiased view?

@Lord WyrmSpawN
Er… not exactly? Maybe just go in thinking it as its own thing?

@Background Pony #A1EF
Agreed.
