Re: Do You Really Want Devs to Make Lower Budget, More Original Games for PS5?

Lavishturtle

As usual, people don't understand. It's not about the budget, it's about the developer. What we need is real developers making good games. That means not worrying about pandering to mouthy idiots or executives. The budget of the game does not determine how good it is or isn't. Making an ignorant and broad assumption that the problem is too much money is causing a failure is as dumb as saying a small budget game will be amazing.

Re: BioWare Rules Out Any Dragon Age: The Veilguard DLC

It's the same situation Ubisoft is in with Assassin's Creed Shadows. They delayed it to change things and the first DLC being included means it was already started. They scrapped any other plans at this point. The game will come out and it will be abandoned as fast as they can. This is what happens when you care less about making a good game and are more worried about a checklist.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Collector's Edition Cheaper After Its Season Pass Cancellation

This won't save the game. People are already in line with pitch forks and torches after they kill Dragon Age. This is how bad gaming is now. The delay was because the model of release now and patch later is failing. The DLC plans have been mostly scrapped. The first DLC was well underway and is why they are giving it away for free now. The second DLC was probably only in planning stage and it's canceled. This will be a a one and done release with them abandoning it as soon as possible. The fallout from this will be epic though.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Statue Manufacturer Pulls Controversial, 'Insensitive' Design

This game is cursed. It would be better to just not release it. They can write it off financially as a loss. Movies have done that several times. It ends up costing them less than releasing them. It strange but when it comes to finances and taxes, there are very creative ways to save money.

If they do release it, I am curious if you can play through the entire game as the same character and if any trophies are tied to a specific character.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows' Japan Looks Stunning in New Open World Showcase

Imagine scouring Japanese history to find one anomaly that you build an entire game off of to just pretend you care about diversity. What a shame. They should have just celebrated the rich Japanese history in this game and made another game devoted to another culture. So many cultures out there with great stories that could be easily woven into a AC game. But that would have cost more than a token gesture.
