"A good gameplay system can compensate for below-average narrative/visuals but the vice verse is rarely possible in video games" on point, well done
I understand what you mean, but we need to not give anyone a pass on this, live service included, and yes they make a lot of money because most people don't care and keep buying but we can't stop resisting because others don't want to!
Filler, it's like a 80 episodes show where only the first and last episodes actually matter
Both, every bad thing needs to be addressed
Listen I understand what you mean, but this isn't a specific microtransaction problem, this is a industry wide problem, if MT aren't treated as an all evil plague, they will not go away, you can back to the history of every consumer practice, and you will always see that the only way a predatoy practice gets killed is that people treat it like the plague
You are comparing userbase while not comparing marketing budget and anticipation, DD2 was #1 most anticipated for 3 weeks in a row 3 times more than peach, add that to the fact that DD2 And Ronin didn't boost PS5 Hardware sale in fact it decreased while Switch increased as per usual
Peach did amazing higher than MariovsDK
Dragon's Dogma 2 sold 4 times less on PS than the first game
Rise of the ronin doesn't look good
Crazy week honestly, peach is doing better in Japan than expected and than in the west (which is kinda expected since the whole female lead hype is just social media only thing)
You lost me
Well with people it depends on which studio are we talking about, Rockstar can hold a live execution and someone will say "I also got executed in my job it's alright"
It's what made it good, but it's true if it wasn't for that bestiality scene most people wouldn't have heard of it even
Capcom being Capcom, they thought because not many people raged about this practice in RE4 they will get a pass here as well
Only 11 male players on launch, no Djokovic no Nadal, only 2 top 10 players, seriously ridiculous
RIP, sheade some great designs, man it's one after the other this year
Yeah Final Fantasy as a brand in Japan is in grave danger because nothing in the direction that square is taking the series is appealing to Japanese fans!
160 cm is not really a dwarf, unless you gonna everyone super tall, which will be weird the NPC, I love making all sorts of characters, but the height thing is such a obvious thing they didn't do right
I think it's waaaaaay less than it should be, especially in Japan which is a disaster, but regarding your first point, Square actually marketed the game as a "can be played as standalone" game, which is nonsense but that's what they did
It's really amazing, however for a fantasy game to not have you make short creatures like dwarfs and hobbits and what's not is a disappointment
Man i always go to sleep and when I wake up i find the world have changed
What horrible news, RIP legend, you made some of the best days of our lives
I think yes they do, the age of handholding and going Hollywood have dominated the industry for a when now
