pastabatman, (edited ) do games w Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis turns Square Enix's best into an avalanche of money-grabbing tactics

I have room in my life for exactly one gacha game, which I don’t spend money on. Sometimes this is a fun little distraction, even though progress is slow without buying currency. This is how I felt about Record Keeper before they shut down the global version. I love FF7 so I’m giving this a shot, but it’s been a week and I’m struggling. There are so many superimposed mechanics that it feels like a new player starting a free to play game at year 5 or 6 of its life, after they’ve steadily added new mechanics, currencies, and other powercreep for years. But it hasn’t been out for years, it’s been out for a week and there are already so many things to keep track of. It feels like work.

Also, the “automatic” battle AI is VERY good. Better than I am. And you can double the speed so the battles go quicker. At first I was relieved because it meant I didn’t have to pay attention while grinding, but why am I doing this at all if I’m not even playing it?

Uh, I have bought the last 3 generations of Xbox controllers and the battery’s always been swappable. What’s new?

Swappable batteries and gyro controls. Good stuff.

maxprime,

Accelerometer ≠ gyroscope

CouldntCareBear,

Huh, you’re right. I must’ve caught a misleading headline then.

maxprime, (edited )

I made the same mistake. The Verge misreported. What a shame.

I saw “for android and osx” in the first few seconds of the trailer and closed out

That’s cute. How about Hall effect sticks so they don’t wear out after six months?

Wow, so how old is GTA6 then?

Jagget, do games w Procedural detective noir Shadows of Doubt adds infidelity investigations next week

The only concern was that I can’t investigate legally. I’m a detective. Why it is required to brake the law every other investigation? I hope they will make it optional

SYNOPSIS, do games w Embracer makes new round of layoffs, this time at Mythforce developer Beamdog

Good lay them all off the current generation of game devs haven’t an ounce of artistic integrity anymore its just profit profit profit.

You know Beamdog did all the old the BioWare Enhanced Editions that are pretty well done. Those guys definitely have a reverence for those old games and aren't just some cookie cutter studio putting out mobile shovelware. Those are real people with passion and families to feed, try not to be so harsh as to say "lay them all off"

SYNOPSIS,

Never heard of them specifically thats why I say all and have no qualms with their studio either but id fling em head first into the woodchuck if it meant getting some actual original new titles worthy of critical acclaim.

ech,

Are you under the impression that Embracer is doing this for the sake of “artistic integrity”?

SYNOPSIS,

No.

ech,

So you’re just cheering on blatant capitalistic bullshit because of your presumption of other “capitalistic” offense of a developer you know nothing about?

SYNOPSIS,

No the gaming industry has been run into the ground by greed i dont give a fuck about any devs or any studio theyre all to blame so stir the pot I say fire them all and replace them with AI wouldnt be any less soulless.

Oh. Got it.

TheMorningStar, do games w Need for Speed developer Criterion to focus on Battlefield

Again? This is like CoD taking up all the air over at Activision with every studio playing support over there every year. What is DICE doing?

nyoooom,

DICE, with the current management, is not able to deliver a proper Battlefield game.

I hope that EA is not too much at fault either, else it won’t be much different with another studio.

"Hmmm, who should we have develop our faltering shooty shooter. I know! The devs that work on racing games. I mean, it’s all the same things, right?

CluckN, do games w Bluey's getting a four-player video game adaptation in November

Souls fans are shaking in their boots

vettnerk, (edited ) do games w Bluey's getting a four-player video game adaptation in November

I hope that, just like the series, it’s meant for adults, but kids like it too.

Diabolo96, do games w Bluey's getting a four-player video game adaptation in November

I watch bluey with my 2 years old niece to teach her a foreign language and it’s one of the rare shows along miraculous where she can watch and ep or two before getting bored and deciding to go back to play with her toys instead. ( my sister made sure to not get her addicted to any screen but her husband got the kid slightly addicted to a few youtube songs anyways…🙃).

Bluey is a great show, but it leans to much on the “parents life amarite” side. I miss the old cartoons that were crazy and funny enough to keep kids watching but self aware enough to keep it watchable and enjoyable for the parents too, just like old cartoon network shows. We adults can enjoy some wackiness too.
