CI Games has apologized for a controversial Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 press event, saying it is "distressed" by what has happened.
Also included are Star Ocean The Divine Force, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2, Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, Unpacking.
Hot damn those are some high quality games right there. I've been meaning to give 13 Sentinels a go, just haven't had the time to get around to it.
I had it on my wishlist waiting for a Discount, when I knew I would be close to playing it, so much in my backlog already, might as well try it now.
Also looks at ALL those Star Ocean titles!!!
The story is so great especially if you don't know what's going on, When i played it I kept thinking I bet this is "it" no I bet that's "it" no it's got to be this, but "it" wasn't those things in the end.
It's Japanese story telling style at it's finest, lead you along and let you wonder what is actually going on really keeping you engaged to figure out the mystery.
The RTS gameplay I really enjoyed too, my only regret was that there wasn't even more of it!
Probably why they hiked the price, so there could be better quality games and less shovelware.
It's one of the best story ever made in recent years, there's a reason it was nominated the best narrative in 2020's TGA.
I heard 13 Sentinels has a superb story, gotto try it at one point.
I can vouch for Nier Replicant, it has one of the coolest endings I have experience in a game. Took me a while to complete the game fully, but man, it was more than worth it in the end.
13 Sentinels is a must play if you haven't. Like, I can't praise enough what an awesome story and set of characters that game has.
If you want to take out enemies from afar (often in some weirdly camouflaging grass), here are the best sniper games ever made.
Daily Video Game writes: "Today Amazon is hosting dozens of great deals on popular select titles right now for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, with discounts going down as much as 79% off!"
I mean, i guess, but at the same time kinda hypocritical. Everyone is fine with doing it in a game, don't even bat an eye, but do it for pretend at a promo event and then you have a problem?
Is it as bad as the infamous God Of War 2 Playstation event with the decapitated goat and topless serving girls?
Given where many peoples sensitivities are about this kind of stuff in the world today, it was probably just a bad idea. A bit tone deaf I would say. I see what they were trying to do, but it was a pretty bad read on who they were pitching to. As someone else mentioned, the game industry is often looking for a story that will generate clicks and when you put the big "R" into it, you know you will generate discussion.
All that said, I think people in general can be way to sensitive about things in general. Everyone is looking for the gotcha moment. When I saw that they included "influencers" I knew that they were screwed!!
