So from what I gather, most of these studios were doing fine before they were bought out and now they are all starting over from scratch cause any proprietary stuff they had is owned by Microsoft.
In the end their name, their achievements and their reputation has been transferred, and nothing else. I feel they (the studios’ teams) have been made use of to then deceive people who trust the names.
That is a whole lot of talk about how much Xbox cares about its people and a whole lot of handwaving about why Xbox needed to decide to sacrifice its people in great swaths.
Maybe it’s because I’m not a Fallout fan, but I didn’t like that one either. I didn’t finish it, to be fair, but I watched the first 3-4 episodes and I found it nonsensical for the most part.
From people and animals healing within seconds of them injecting some sort of Jesus juice, to armor suits protecting against explosions and extreme fall damage but not angry bears, or people living for centuries in the surface but from the looks of it the apocalypse happened just two days earlier, with no one bothering to clean up their own house a bit. In one scene you see soldiers wearing thick metal armor flying around on helicopters, in the next scene there’s people using bottle caps as a barter resource.
And that’s just about the verisimilitude of the setting and the events. The writing felt very amateurish/childish for the most part. Again, I have no reference to the source material, but from an outside perspective, I wasn’t impressed.
The visuals are very good (not ground-breaking by any means, but they do their job well), but that’s the extent of the praise I’d give to that series.
As a wheel of time, invincible, the boys, and fallout fan I feel extremely targeted. I’m a Yakuza superfan so I will have to watch this but I hope they don’t mess it up. I’m still playing infinite wealth but once I’m done I’ll have completed every rgg game except of the end and that PSP exclusive neither of which I’m going to go back to.
They’ve already done a live action adaptation of the original game back in 2006. It was a bit… odd, and definitely not the way you’d wanna experience the yakuza 1 story for the first time, but it is an entertaining enough shitshow of a time for people that just want more yakuza.
(Also the entire thing is on YouTube but don’t tell Sega that)
