I feel like this game got announced crazy long ago as a push for Xbox to get more Japanese people on the Xbone. Crazy to see it coming out now
Better than butt stuff

Haven’t played the game yet, more due to still not having explored the Vermintide games enough to move to another, but the name got me temporarily excited at a Repentia addition. Not the best literacy from me, sure, but whoops
Seems a lot like competing launchers, a lot of companies want a slice of the pie that Valve discovered but aren’t willing to do the same amount of work. I’ve heard good things about the Ally, at least.
We have the technology to make an infinite variety of characters and we’re just using it to recreate the limitations of real life.
I am unplugged from a lot of advertising, but this seems very much like a game that is spreading due to word of mouth/direct exposure rather than purely marketing driven. I know that I usually wait at least a year to pick up games, especially multiplayer games since I’m almost always playing those solo. Enough people I know actually got this one and praised it, though, leading me to break my habits and pick it up.
Interesting considering “record engagement.” I can’t imagine that was just a lie, was it?
Talented team, based on putting out some of the only interesting recent stuff in Activision’s catalog. I look forward to what they put together!
They don’t want it. I don’t have a link, but when talking about the lead up to the game it was said that Sega didn’t want a Mania 2 because they feel that 2D games don’t sell like 3D games
Turns out pissing everyone off wasn’t the most profitable of strategies. I’m sure they’ll give it a few more tries before ruling it out, however.
Wouldn’t be surprised at all if they are legit downloads. Gaming feels like a high tier way of recreation when outside is off limits. You can only build so many snow men before it becomes old
The biggest thing holding me back from getting one has been the console lock. I have a PS5 but would want to use it on PC more. I’ve thought about saving for an Index but know that the moment I buy one is the moment they announce Index 2
It will know the folly of its ways then and pass the information to all children you have post mortem.
Really wish Sega would experiment a bit with lower budget and lower stakes games with these dormant IP… Crazy Taxi could be great but I don’t think it will be a smash success. There’s plenty of room for more good middle shelf games which I think this would be perfect for.
Not to defend this game in particular, but criticizing a game for its length vs cost alone is a bad trend that leads to Ubisoft-esque bloat and padding. There are plenty of shorter games that were well worth the price (Revengence, Titanfall 2, Portal 2, hell, most of Valve’s full single player games to name some)
NY main criticism as an observer is that they don’t seem to use anything except for the Minecraft aesthetic, as if that is the key to what made Minecraft popular. You’d think these games would have some building aspect to them.
Which is weird because they don’t seem to understand a lot of the appeal of Minecraft and tend to boil it down to the aesthetic. When seeing talk of Minecraft dungeons, I was amazed that there was no dungeon crafting tool. Seems like it would have added a ton of value to a game and made it far more related to a game about… crafting.
There’s nothing wrong with enjoying a game for a long time or a forever game. If it bothers you, try occasionally hitting a small game through to the end for a low statues way to get more used to completing something.
All of the network features, to my knowledge
I expect a large amount of this is the disastrous Xbox One launch as it was an exclusive there for a while. The PC release having features stripped didn’t help, but I imagine the idea of investing additional money at that point felt like throwing good money after bad. I mainly hope that Insomniac doesn’t become just a Marvel studio, though.
I’ve heard that the original Switch was supposed to have magnetic joy-cons, the snap sound they using being the sound of the magnetic joycons attaching. However they couldn’t get the magnets to not mess with the electronics at the Switch’s form factor at the time
