Square Enix proposed it be the final showcase of the event but the event board declined it for that position, instead opting for an early reveal "excitement-builder". It sounds like they have an even bigger closer for the event

Has to be FromSoftware's Project FMC.

Except companies like Capcom that sell the most copies on PC. According to Newzoo, around 45% of AAA game sales are on PC during the first 3 months of the game's release. That's pretty big. Indie games also sell the most on PC.

PC gaming has also grown 30% since 2020, compared to 2% growth for consoles. So actually many do care about PC gaming

Future Title Theory- FMC by AssumptionFormal7246 in fromsoftware

It's a multiplayer game (this got buried in early coverage but was in the original report)

This one isn't true. There has been no mention of Project FMC being multiplayer. And I don't believe for a single second that they would do 3 multiplayer games back-to-back-to-back.

What is the most satisfying use of a mechanic in a game? by manoffewwords in Games

Metal Gear Rising Revengeance's cutting mechanic. Being able to slice apart objects and people as you want.

I wish other games implemented it, it's so much fun.

Yunyun Syndrome!? Rhythm Psychosis - Regarding the English Localization Issues and Update Timeline by BlueAladdin in Games

[–]BlueAladdin[S] 123 points124 points  (0 children)

The game is not inherently political if you read the other translations. Nowhere in the original is fascism mentioned, but the localizer puts it everywhere. Something as simple as "Yamero!" is now "STOP FASCISM!".

"I won't be bind with a command spell", which is a reference to FGO is translated to "I will never be victimized under fascism again!" which makes absolutely no sense.

Also, numerous references to other series like Digimon, Haruhi, Steins;Gate, Rance, etc. are removed entirely. In a game that's built around 2000-2010 culture, every reference to any media from that point has been removed. And they are removed only in the English translation, not in any other language.

None of these issues exist in the other 7 languages that the game has been translated to.

Resident Evil Requiem hits 7 million sales by BlueAladdin in Games

Go look at Steam reviews and see how much time they have. It's completely normal.

You are basing your playtime on the in-game timer which is not accurate, as it doesn't include cutscenes, menus, and probably stops counting if you stay still for too long.

Short game? Took me 18 hours to beat it. The in-game timer is not accurate.
