I guess the Medieval 2 time period sells because Christians can play crusades and Muslims can play jihads

Who doesn't love a good Crusade? Thats one of the reasons why I love Crusader Kings

Crusader Kings is an incest simulator, but I guess that it was fun as a Reformed Nordic to do crusades and war 24/7 against the rest of the world. Seducing all the queens/princesses of your enemies counts as a crusade?

Watched the first fifteen seconds, and my response as someone who has to work with sales and marketing professionals is 'market saturation'. Drop the price 25% and watch the sales rebound for a bit. Promo the shit out of the unit in the run up to Christmas and watch the bounce. But I don't see anything here that would cause me huge concern if I were working for Big N.

Nintendo Nostalgia Nerd discovers Marketing...
Also this dude has done nothing but complain about the switch 2 since it was announced in its direct.

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

personally i'm having the time of my life with my new Switch 2. just beat the trial of the sword in botw (in master mode no less, yeah i'm a gamer). and there's still so much i have planned: playing the virtual console fire emblem games, the welcome tour, new pokemon in october, throwing it through panzerkampfwagyu's window at 3 a.m., zelda echoes of wisdom, etc.

Nintendo games are like sport ones: they were released last century but they get paid patches every few years and Link still hasn't learnt to talk. Change my mind.

Guys, did you know that Ubishod did not do nothing wrong? We are the problem it turned out.

My wallet too !

Gaming is such dog soup. The only games doing well are remasters and sequels because Nostalgia has already peaked.
There are some crumbs Indie developers made that get cloned to hell(I.e Among us, REPO) but they’re not million dollar efforts we used to see. Square enix almost peaked, but they suffered from success and too many hands in the cookie jar. Look at the Admin hell they went through with 13. Too many shaky hands.

Now gaming has shifted to competitive shit and esports and early release, then slowly roll out the content. Everything is done so halfassed because of imposters in the scene. It’s just nuts, am I the only squirrel here?

tldr: only the classic are still worthy of playing /w a few rare exceptions

It sucks that we're never getting a Titanfall 3, but it sucks even more that if it did come out it would probably be bad

I feel you on that. Everything has become so rotten, and the few good apples get picked very fast.

Mobile games and the lack of ambition is also another thing that has plagued development of interesting games.

Too many of these “ambitious” people simply want to clone a game and put their spin on it. (Fortnite, Minecraft, etc.) and so many of these mobile app games are infantilized for the iPad kid generation.

I HATE hustle culture and feel like gaming is just treated as another get rich quick scheme instead of something built with passion.

Let it rot

I love a good Chess play. The game of Kings.

Maybe, just maybe, if they paid Mario Segale his due money, God would bless Nintendo by the cardinal virtue of Justice.

Wuthering Waves ignoring playerbase and bares their fangs during the game's first anniversary. So gacha games take more pride in their anniversaries since most games eos that fast.

What it did:

1. Locking additional pulls (resource to get a new character) 3 weeks later
2. Locking more pulls unless player pulled on the banner (requires minimum amount)
3. Pop up for monthly login system
4. Entice players to get players who have left back into the game
5. 24 banners for the entire patch which mostly consisted of released characters - benefiting new whales only
6. Censoring and locking down any official discussions due to the above settings

I'll never let them live this down. Due to the absurd situation back then, they withheld the devs bts scenes and are now releasing it.

Adding said issues with the game:

- optimization issues occured for 10 months and not priortizied [instead they enhanced graphics further and cultivated a base to blame mobile and ps5 players for holding the game back despite advertising as a mobile game too]

- echo tuning [layers of rng to build your character after winning the 50-50 in wishing]. Imagine farming for a specific echo - you need the correct set (1/3 chance) + correct main stat + correct sub stats. And now repeat the whole process 5 times for 1 character

- locking character leveling materials behind story [please play 30 hours of story if you pulled the newest shiny character + if your device couldn't play the latest area filled with bugs, it's on you, get a new PC instead]

- mid story of promoting new banner characters (21 days) and kicking them into the curb

- over saturation of bland character designs, I don't even want to talk about the recent horrible skins

- characters are becoming more reliant on their signature weapons and sold together as a pair (Zani- Phoebe; Galbrena-Qiuyuan)

- braindead easy events (tower defense, fishing, TCG, etc.) when they game specializes in combat

Hytale is saved again, let's see if it works this time

I was playing the Resident Evil Rose DLC, and was expecting it to be some hour long cash grab, like Resident Evil 5's. Then two and a half hours in, I finished the first chapter, and was like, "that's surprising. How long is this gonna be?" Then chapter two ended up being a much shorter, unique kind of romp. Which was fine I guess. However, at the end, the boss said that the thing Rose is looking for was in a much deeper level of the stratum. So, I was like, "wow, ok, how many more chapters is this going to be? Maybe it was actually worth the money, after all." But then, of course, the third chapter was just the final boss, and I was like, "oh."

Started Resident Evil 4 remake's separate ways DLC, but I don't have my hopes up.

I agree with you that Kuro flopped the 1st anniversary hard, but I don't remember this part. Which one was this again?
