I mean, a spiritual successor is absolutely on the horizon. It’s a genuine masterpiece, artists will be emulating it in some way for decades at least.

That looks so weird

This could unironically be a dark age for Japanese culture, if our experience with sony in Western circles is indicative of anything

More than just that, they are big novel publishers, they own spike chunsoft, hell they even have their hands in tourism and some science labs! Idk the broader culture of Sony, but experience with their gaming branch says this will be the disaster of our times for otaku.

That’s not just what’s at stake. Kadokawa is a massive company and this will hurt industries from books to anime to game development outside of fromsoft. On the publishing and consumer facing sides, btw. Apparently they even own a few scientific and tourism endeavors!

This is the end of an era the way the dark ages were, not the way the end of CGDCT in favor of isekai was

Not just a few games, this is gonna hurt anime too.

Pokemon is never gonna get better, is it

No, it’s pretty mid action combat.

God we really are beyond fucked, aren’t we?

Any technically not allowed. Not that that’ll stop them.

The sequel hasn’t fallen through

Then why play dragon age? I wouldn’t be happy if mass effect abandoned it’s fans to cater to my tastes, that’s fucked up.

Would it be better to become a darkspawn or die? Generally I’d prefer a series cater to the heart of the series instead of fuck off into an unwanted and disconnected direction.

A new era of bad games. Look at Pokemon, those games are almost always bad now, but because it’s already popular it’ll never improve or go away.

I feel like the story has good ideas but ultimately fails, personally. I like the idea of struggling against inevitable tragedy, but when the cause of such tragedy was against always immediately in arms reach of you and caused by a single person it falls flat.

Access journalism. If you agree to say whatever EA wants EA gives you first access to the next game, which increases your views. Idk the exact process for this game, but big publishers often bribe these reviewers with expensive vacations too (it’s why they fly journalists out to demo the game instead of sending the outlets a digital demo), Bethesda did it with 76 for instance.

Stupid, but maybe stupid in a good way? Right wing grifters target kids all the time, if a moderate acknowledges them maybe they’ll be less likely to fall into a pipeline.

I mean, this trailer really papers over the bad parts. If i didn’t already see the original trailer and the gameplay i could be taken in by it. That said, i did see those, so I’m just gonna watch EA put bioware down from a distance.

Huh. This is literally the best advertising veilguard has ever had.

You know, i prefer my cyberpunk dystopias to be ballsy enough to just say it with their chest. You’d never catch Lofwyr groveling like this.

I’d also very much prefer dragons, or at least technological implants, but whatever.
