In my opinion, the problems in Strive are nothing a new GG would fix better than patching Strive itself.
I think they had a good idea with Strive, as in casualize GG to make it more appealing to the masses. Yes, at the top, the game has balancing issues; but numbers can easily be tweaked. The game lacks a proper ranked mode, but so far, none of their games had one AFAIK so a new game wouldn’t necessarily fix that either (ranked is announced for Strive though). The only thing I see a new game improve is new singleplayer content.
The game had a relative peak last year (second only to the original release) when Dizzy was released – almost double the players compared to the Baiken release… while the player baseline is relatively constant, it seems the peaks are growing. Why go for a new game when you can actually build a playerbase with the current one?
I see some videos of players discovering Strive right now (almost surreal considering the game is four years old now…) and nobody is claiming about age issues with this game, as in bad netcode, performance, graphics or whatever. In fact, most people say that the game’s presentation is very good and that the fights are fun. There’s no need to crank out a new game for the sake of it when the teams are busy with other projects anyways, like Marvel Tokon, Hunter X Hunter and whatever.
I’m fine with having it on ps5 only. I’ve been playing it since it came out and it’s actually pretty good. The combat is solid and the exploration is pretty fun. And, yeah sure, part of the appeal is the outfits you can get for the character but like anything, finding an earning a new outfit is pretty fun
It’s a pretty good game to start with tbh. 40k is a crazy fun setting, if you like tactics games give Mechanicus a try. Till this game it definitely held the title for “dopest 40k soundtrack” imo
But how will we play Mario Kart World? Why not release it on Switch 1? Oh that’s right, they want people to buy the new gaming system. Screw others who can’t afford it. It’s just a couple hundred extra bucks. Just put that extra money aside for two months and you will have your Switch 2.
My motto is (“Don’t reward bad behavior”) if a dog bites you you won’t give it a treat. So why should we reward nintenDONT for shady Anti-Gaming practices?!
NintenDONT just shot themselves in the foot cause although the price of admission increased the Eye Patches are FREE🏴☠️
The nice part: you don’t have to engage into combat. You can talk your way out or maybe, what will suit you more, use poison and be friend with the shadow.
