This is costing greedy investors money which is the only way to stop this trend. Live service needs to go away so the only thing people can do is kill these games. Horizon will be next but Marathon might survive because that fan base is terrible and will defend it blindly.
Fromsoft is going down hill fast. Nightreign was a cheap asset flip aimed at streamers. The new game is exclusive to Switch is a screw you to everyone. If they blocked Bloodborne remake, then that's just ego and the ultimate middle finger to fans.
Just another reason to dump Sony for good. Their arrogance and greed is awful. I can live without their games. PC will always be best since they don't care about game exclusivity.
If this was a fan photo having some fun then it would be fine. This is what millions of dollars can produce? Fan films can do better with almost nothing.
I was really looking forward to Hexe and it's setting. I was hoping it would have been finished before Ubisoft went insane. Now it's caught up in the garbage and will be terrrible.
But you have his moron son in charge who has failed at everything he has touched. He likes AI and NFT. Assassins Creed will get worse. Probably be 4 hour games now.
It's like a competition of who is the dumbest in the game industry. I thought Ubisoft was going to win it but now a new contender has entered the ring. At this point, EA looks better by comparison somehow.
You can't fix how mediocre this game is. It's clear that they don't have good writers at all. They ignored a staple of RPGs which is the romance system because they didn't know how write that content. Now the upgrade is lazy because they didn't have any narrative writers to actually write content for the new races. How are they still around.
This game came out and was forgotten instantly. More mediocre games from Obsidian. They keep ignoring the actual good games series they abandoned. They have never been anything but a AA developer.
Beating a dead horse at this point. It was DOA. Wasting more money on a lost cause mostly because of ego. You failed, move on and make games people want. How can developers still not understand basic consumerism.
Horizon sent out that survey today. Seems strange so fast after that terrible trailer. Highguard never had a chance. Horizon has no chance either. Sony will never learn until they fire Herman. People are losing their jobs because they aren't allowed to make the games people want to buy and play. Brain dead management is mandating these garbage games. I hope they find work with a real studio that wants to make great games.
What's sad is the developer attitude. They truly believed they created something great. Even if this shadow dropped like they planned, it would be terrible. It's already dead. Time to dig the grave.
This is coming from a guy that's now using AI to do the job of living creative people instead of doing it the right way. I guess he's worried about hurting the feelings of the computers too. He is just another egomaniac who is actively removing the soul of creativity.
I played this for around 2 hours today. It's just bad. It''s generic and doesn't do anything very well. It's basically just a lazy game made by a developer that isn't good enough to make a real game. I gave it a chance but it deserves the negative reviews not just because of the game award fiasco. People are tired of these garbage copycats. It's time to create new things like they did in the past. The classics are classics because they only cared about making a good game. No agendas or metrics.
It doesn't matter at this point. It will get destroyed on launch. People are tired of games like this and the only way to fight back is to kill it. It looked generic and lazy. It got more attention from the game awards then it ever would normally. Maybe developers should try making a good game and stop being lazy and following trends.
I guess they skipped 8th grade economics class. You can't make money if you don't release products. At least that moron son of Yves is in charge to guarantee further failure.
Looks like a cheap cosplayer but a cosplayer would act better than her anyways. Another disaster incoming but this could make the absolutely terrible movies look better but that's like saying this pile of garbage stinks less than the other one.
Any other developer would have been shut down years ago but Bioware still around. They have failed miserably since the end of Mass Effect 3. They have no future and I actually hope we don't get another ME. I don't want to see it ruined completely. DA fate was bad enough
If they have to make a machine create for them then they deserve to go under. I have no sympathy for all these studios shutting down due to bad decisions. Swen is an arrogant idiot and always has been.
I think the real reason they refused to bring it to PC was to avoid Steam reviews destroying this garbage. The line about not wanting mods was just a lie. I'm pretty sure modders would do a better job at sexy than the developer anyways.
You mean generic action guy that they called Bond. This looks awful and in no way feels like James Bond. I guess they never watched the movies over the decades or read the books.
Sven has always been a loudmouth. The chip on his shoulder grew with Balurs Gate 3 and now he thinks he is untouchable. It makes all his comments about the industry pointless since he is just as bad. If you need AI to generate for you then you aren't smart enough to make games. I own every game they made but I guess I will save some money since I won't support them anymore.
They should just cancel it now and save themselves the time in blaming everyone else for it's failure, then apologizing and then vowing to make it better before shutting it down. Oh, the inevitable studio closure after too.
3rd person or who cares. They know that's the one thing people have been asking for from the beginning. Just too lazy to do it and make the dumb excuse about first person being needed due to the vertical nature of the game. What a bunch of garbage.
It's like watching a slow death that everyone else sees coming but Sony refuses to accept. The faster live service games fail the faster money starts going to good games again.
