Wasnt there some legal agreement with the Singaporean government to not only finish the game but support it fully for 12 months? So its not like they are being generous with season 2, they have zero choice. Expect the game to go belly up at the 12 month mark..
From the wiki "The PC version, while suffering from lower sales due to less marketing, became both Capcom's fastest-selling and one of the three best-selling titles for PC in the company's history."
Also "These strong sales broke the previous record holder for the fastest-selling new intellectual property of the seventh console generation.[109] ".
And "By the following month, the game had sold 1.05 million units worldwide, being considered a major success by Capcom. According to the report, sales in Japan "exceeded expectations", while the game struggled in Western markets.[113] Alongside sales of Resident Evil 6, the game was credited by Capcom for their record-breaking earnings during 2012.[114]"
"The original game released in 2012 and was, by most metrics, a bit of a flop. It immediately established a hardcore audience, but it was far from being the fantasy RPG blockbuster that Capcom wanted."
Afaik at the time it was their best selling game so not sure how that was a flop by any metric..
He could be great but its just hard going from Henry, whom I thought was amazing, to literally anyone else. Will give it a go but am not holding out hope..
@LordAinsley mostly because these kinds of articles assume we all know who this person is and that its amazing that their music is in the game and yet this is literally the first time I, and many others it seems, have ever heard of them. So indeed, who?
@Papa_Godzilla Its an unpopular opinion and one I agree with. Dont get all the love tbh. Played and finished all the FF games prior and for a game carrying the FF name XVI was super toned down, and even for an action game it was just ok.
With the money and studios MS already has its pretty telling they still cant make amazing games, just ok ones. Solution to this problem? Throw more money to buy more developers to make more just ok games... Getting to be a bit of a joke.
Tbh I have yet to play a Chinese made game that didnt simply feel off. And I'm not talking about off as its clearly a copy of something else. Just off as in quality or something else hard to put my finger on..
@Danloaded I guess I am old as I only really know a couple on that entire list... This will be one of those times I disable in game music and put my own on. And yes that will be metal.
@man_what Also have a 5yr old that loves this game. Also a 7 and 8yr old that do too. They all play and have crazy times together. All are super hyped for this.
Surely the only people silly enough to believe this were xbox fans right?.. Sony doesnt need to do that to succeed as last generation showed in 2:1 spades.
Wont come back to the game till they release some actual decent content for it. All these tiny drops have been a laugh at what they are charging for them..
@Dogmanstar yeah its a shame as I love roguelite/like games. Had a play and its not for me. Is just ok and is clearly designed for a younger crowd. Didnt find the gunplay to be that great really either and all the characters are really annoying. Like most youtubers and tikitok "stars".. None of our discord gaming group liked it. The fact we are all aged 30+ may have something to do with it.
@nicc83 Haha yeah it actually is, and not a nice one. Like a more polite way of calling someone a low down dirty pos. On the flip side we also use it as a term for food
@GorosBat Its a shame as his skill is irrelevant when he has the worst attitude out of the lot. And spitting at spectators the other day was the final straw. Had he done that on the street he would have been punched. Absolute grub act at anytime let alone playing tennis.
@GorosBat Jeez he is an absolute grub and a disgrace to tennis. In fact he could be the best player tennis has ever, or will ever, see and he is still a disgrace. And thats coming from an Australian..
Just re watched the March state of play for it and maybe its just me but this doesnt look good.. Loved the Valkyrie Profile games, but this one I think will be a def wait and see...
Hope they take note of Tales of Arise and change up the game engine. Y's games have never looked great even at release, functional but could do so much better and the games deserve it as they are great fun.
@Splat Likewise. Spent boatloads of time at launch but the game hasnt grabbed me since which is a real shame as I can see how much better it is than it was.
Actually the best Borderlands game since BL2, overall I actually love it more than BL2, by far. Just works so much better in all areas. And the endgame is fun with basically a roguelite component. Only real complain is nothing seems to be across your characters. Things like the dice, or at least the luck bonus acquired by finding them, should be pushed to your account. Just like in BL2 it had badass levels that were applied to all your characters. Even Myth levels in this is on a per character basis. Still overall its an easy 9/10.
It was fun but the loot was annoying, especially after getting the exact same weapon drop 50 times. Either dont have enemies drop weapons at all after the first time, only cash, or randomize the loot so drops matter.
Didnt like it at all. Felt like an old game as the review said but not in a good way. Also missing the random loot from Shadow Warrior 2 which I loved. The crude humour just did nothing for it either, and I love crude humour..

Re: PS1 JRPG Fans May Want to Keep an Eye on Arisen Force: Vonimir for PS5, PS4
Do like the look of the combat. Grew up with Nes, Snes etc and while I loved turn based then it tends to make me sleepy now that I am in my 40s.
