I'm so glad Elden Ring is doing big numbers, that says a lot about the game itself. Like several people said it's not for everyone but it must be good enough to reach this level of mainstream
numbers don't lie.
When I saw this DioField Chronicle on the state of play this is like Fire Emblem done by Square Enix.
Meanwhile poor Dino Crisis crying in the corner
This sickening biased community is intoxicating, god forbid if Xbox or the Nintendo Switch is doing better than PS5 ...Preposterous! Fake data! manipulated data! Ah, but the data is reliable if Sony is "crushing" it, right?
Hypocrisy at it's finest.
Oh boy this guy, first thing the quacks like a duck, looks like a duck BS is something that is called abductive reasoning, that just because there are similaties, it's doesn't necessary mean it's true. would you say that anything that has wheels it's a car? Of course not, same reasoning here are you gonna called the steam deck a handheld too, becuase it has the power of a gamig PC and yet nobody it's calling it a computer....cause it's a hybrid!,similarities don't ...
IDK about your Xbox info, since I remember when the Xbox 360 was launched it had a niche appeal to the Japanese audience with some games releases but for some reason Microsoft decided not to an there you go, bue xbox in Jp. I do agree that nowadays Microsoft takes big loses to maintain the Brand "xbox" relevant in a market that doesn't give a crap about it but this is something that big companies do around the world so it's not a surpised to anyone.
Before...
Microsoft had always bad luck in Japan, except on the X360 when for some reason felt like the Dreamcast. Sony used to dominate Japan, but now...they are nothing in their homeladn, so much that they moved tghier offices and HQ to Calidfornia and basically westernize the Japanese company....so the king in Japan is Nintendo nowadays.
Now is that gonna stay permantent...I doubt it but Nintendo has it's big chunk of the pie and I don't think they'll let that go.
IMO, this game and the mass effect trilogy are the only master pieces EA has ever done...the rest is utter Cr*p
It already does differenciate itself from a Nintendo Direct, Sony's state of play a ia train wreck most of the time, while while Nintendo's Sirect is way way less.
- Platinum Games would be a nice fit for them
- Wayfoward is also a nice choice
......an aggresive aquisition that might not happen but still can be possible is Sega or Capcom.
Then it is a new IP, just because you are using the same characters, doesn't mean is not a new IP.
So far the things i'e seen it's a nice and simple adventure zelda2D style. totally recommended if you like games like a link to the past etc.
I don't know why people assume they are desperate to get bought. What I do get is that they are not doing well financially speaking.
I will give them credit though, they are very creative in their stuff the problem is that for some reason they cannot create their own IPs.
What the CEO is saying is that they don't mind if they get bought AS LONG AS you let them be creative...which theory seems fair enough but once you are owned by some company, you are gonna have to ...
You can laugh all you want but deep down inside you are just lying to yourselves just because you love your plastic box you bought for $400 or more
tsk tsk....a pity really but I guess yo can't handle the truth.
Agree BOTW 2 eclipses the rest, while I love Horizon and I like GOW Zelda is on another level, idc how pretty or how high tech you claim your game will be if Zelda BOTW2 releases, it's goty, period.
Took like 20 years for a sequel but hell yeah it's worth it, hopefully we might get the comics as well.
What rig? what the hell you are talking about?
How can you say that when Sony and Microsoft have bought publishers for billions of dollars and for some reason nobody makes a fuss but tencent buys a gaming studio and all the sudden "god have mercy on our souls" tragedy. See how much of biased and bigot you are just by commentig this?
