Twinfinite Writes: 2017 proved to be a pretty good year for Square Enix, with multiple acclaimed titles releasing throughout the year. However, 2018 could be even better.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "This is a collection of short Late Looks picking up on some of the games I meant to write a full article for but was too busy to do at the time. This time the games in question are the original Diablo, Balatro, and Kingdom Hearts III - a perfectly natural combination of games that you definitely expected to see grouped together. Not quite review and not quite rant, it’s more a casual assessment of what I – the gamer of the future – consider to be each game’s strengths and weaknesses in retrospect."
i get the “weird combo” angle, but i’m curious what you think holds up best: diablo’s atmosphere, balatro’s loop, or kh3’s combat. i bounced off kh3 hard after seeing casino junk shoved into a fan discord, including https://monopolybigballerli... and it soured my mood for anything with flashy “chance” mechanics. balatro still feels clever to me since the randomness is the point and you’re making real decisions around it. also had a similar spam wave on a retro forum with https://red-baron.org/ and https://dream-catcher-game.... and it’s annoying how it derails game talk.
Square Enix hints at NieR Automata sequel during its 9th anniversary livestream as the game surpasses 10 million copies sold worldwide.
lets not get our hopes up too soon
a sequel could mean anything, a drama cd, a theater play or a novel ha
Call of Duty: Mobile’s new NieR: Automata crossover launches with Season 5: Primal Reckoning, with new skins and weapons to grind for.
Yeah NieR: Automata was amazing.
“Of course, the release of Dragon Quest XI in the west is a big one for the company, especially if they can put out the Switch version in 2018 as well.”
If Dragon Quest XI does release on Switch in 2018, it’ll only be in Japan. Knowing how slow the localization process for this series, the NS version will come to the west in 2019 while the PS4 & 3DS will get it in the West in 2018.
Well since Nier Automata was very well received, it would be awesome if they bring us a remaster of Nier. Some information about FF7R would be nice but at the very least an idea of when Kingdom Hearts 3 will release would be nice even if it ends up in early 2019.
