Re: Stellar Blade Dev Shift Up Goes Public, Makes a Huge Pile of Money

@GreatAuk you're very wrong on a couple of things. For example the fact that games as both art, entertainment and education aren't a total waste of recourses. Art will always have a central role in almost every ideology.

You're right though, that we could, and should, divert alot of the resources, put into and generated by the industry, to better serve the worlds population.

Horny teens and lonely middle aged men are a ridiculous group to cater. But it can sure be profitable.

@wiiware "The problem is not capitalist, it's the stock market greed for always expecting more and more profit which isn't realistic."

You can't have capitalism without greed. That sin is inherently built into the capitalistic system.

Re: Take-Two Will Acquire Borderlands Dev Gearbox Entertainment

I didn't like it when Embracer bought Gearbox. It was one of those insanely expensive and bad purchases that put them in the position they are in now. They chew on more than they could swallow on more than one occasion, but Gearbox is a real has-been studio that cost them alot of money.

Re: Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail Fans Are at War

Both games are popular... But Genshin is vastly more so. And that's the reason why the devs sweeten the deal for jumping into Honkai.

I play both the games from time to time and both are providing a lot of entertainment. I just think Honkai players can celebrate that their game is the best, and let their Honkai peers try to catch up.

The devs don't play favourites, they play budget goals and how to reach them.

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for March 2024 Announced

Dunkin

Not at all my kind of games, but I guess it's one of the better months for PS+ in a while. Racing and beatem ups aren't really my cup of tea and expansions to live service games aren't really that interesting so far after release.

Re: Foamstars (PS5) - PS Plus' Sudsy Shooter Is Good, Clean Fun

Dunkin

This game is going to die so quickly. The gameplay is a boring mess where I've played around 50 games now and every single one played out approximately the same way. If I played another hundred I could probably start winning matches with my eyes closed.

Adding to that, the design is horrible. The foam doesn't even look like foam and the colours in the arena are painful to watch.

I guess the characters are fine, some are even good.

It seems like Square Enix had to limit themselves trying not to copy Splatoon too much. And therefore ended up with a discount bin version of a far superior game.

Ps. Before some fanboys come at me. I love both my Switch and my PS5. They are great in their own ways. But the fact is that this is a failed attempt at creating direct rival to Splatoon.
