Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard, FC 25 Underperform, Force EA to Lower Financial Forecast

They make a Dragon Age game that is Dragon Age only in name and are surprised that it underperformed?

I actually enjoyed the game, but was only able to do so when I ignored it's name. It has great gameplay but the dialogue is awful and characters lack depth.

Skill Up but it best when they said: "Every interaction between companions feels like HR is in the room"

Make a Dragon Age or a new IP, but don't make a new IP pretending to be Dragon Age. It doesn't bring new people due to lack of interest in the original IP, and it distance long time fans from it.

@sanderson72 I understand that point of view, but I assume a lot of people, especially children and parents, don't differentiate that much between Mario Kart 8 or 9. It's just Mario Kart.

Everyone here is a video game enthusiast and understands games more than the average consumer.

But if it happens the way you said it, I wouldn't be surprised either.

Re: Poll: Will the Switch 2 Compete with PS5?

The real question is: "Is it going to compete with the Nintendo Switch?"

It just looks like an upgraded Switch without any new considerable features. A lot of people that bought the Switch are casual gamers who will see no reason to upgrade to a newer version of the same console.

It's also a market much more saturated with powerful portable devices.

I wouldn't be surprised if it sells less than the PS5.

@elvisfan1 Have you ever heard of The Crew? People paid over $60 for it and it got completely shut down.

The fact that you know nothing about it and preach that going digital is ok shows the lack of knowledge of the general audience.

You're giving away your right to own something and don't even know about it.

Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Producer Wants to Remake the Worst Game in the Series for PS5

@themightyant I think you're missing the point.
Remaking a great late PS3 game like the Last of Us for the PS5 felt wholly unnecessary. It already looked great and played well.

Remaking a flawed mediocre looking game with rushed development and a lot of wasted potential makes sense.

People are tired of remakes of new and great games, remaking a flawed game and fixing it is a great idea

You decided to write a professional article and use the word "hater". Really?

Can you be a bit more descriptive and explain that it's a mix of people that align themselves with different ideals and haven't played the game, so they're just giving low scores for that reason with people that played the original trilogy and are disappointed with the lackluster dialogue and lack of impact on the choices.

By saying hater, you're absolutely not helping with establishing any dialogue between opposing opinions. Just helping with the divide.

If you're going to write a professional article, be professional.
