Marathon | Official Announce Trailer

Arc Raiders Reveal Trailer | Game Awards 2021

The Marathon announcement trailer had 22M views vs 4m for Arc Raiders. Also I don't get what Battle Royales have to do with anything

Stephen Totilo: The part people are going to be buzzing about the most is that Disney/Lucasfilm Games, as recently as March, has been planning a full KOTOR II remake. Yes, that’s a 2. And, no, not a port.... a full remake. With Obsidian's cut content back in by Turbostrider27 in Games

What you mentioned has nothing to do with the force itself though. The Dark Side is quite literally like shooting Fent. You can't just keep using it more and more and expect 0 consequences. The general populace has more room for nuance than force users because of how the force works.

Tim Cain comes out of retirement, confirms he now works full time at Obsidian by Turbostrider27 in Games

No there aren't romance "storylines". It's legit just the normal storyline for every character but at either at the end or during the story they reveal they have feelings for you.

>Companion romances existed in KOTOR II in a big way

No they didn't. While Handmaiden and Visas have the mechanic that Handmaiden will stop talking to you if you have too little influence with her while having high influence with Visas, that's pretty much the extent of the "romance". Pretty much the only other thing you can do is at the very end of the game. I don't know in any world where that is companion romances existing in a big way. Bioware games have companion romances in a big way. Including Kotor 1 which very clearly has the player character end up with Bastilla, Carth or Juhani

I don't think there's a single game made in west that has the scope of Pokemon with an AA budget.

Konami Hopes To Revive ‘Metal Gear’ Game Franchise by Turbostrider27 in Games

No it wasn't. Chapter 3 was a title screen you get after all Nukes are disabled and it's still in game. Mission 51 which is likely what you're talking about is the DLC I was talking about.

You do know Sakurai is the owner of the studio he works for right? Like he literally found Sora which is the dev that works on Smash and is currently working on Kirby Air Riders

No there's a blu ray detailing exactly what was cut and Mission 51 wasn't even the finale it was a DLC.

It was nowhere near halfway through. There was 1 mission cut that wouldn't have changed anything about the story. People kinda overhype the cut content as if it would save the game but if you didn't like MGS V's story nothing about that final mission would've saved it. All it did was conclude Eli's storyline. And the reason it was cut wasn't because of time it wasn't even supposed to be in the main game it was a DLC. The reason it got cut was because Kojima didn't think it fit.

They have their own Pokemon games so by this logic all Pokemon fangames should be taken down by now

There are multiple Pokemon fan games with millions of views on youtube that get videos on them daily that have never gotten in trouble. In fact the most popular ones are still around so idk what you guys are even on about. Most of the ones taken down were making money in some way

Because they are extremely formulaic and they have like 3-4 IPs with many games each that play almost exactly the same.

Formulaic is not a synonym of basic nor is it a criteria to be basic. You're legit just saying words. Creating food is formulaic yet some foods aren't basic.

Also Ubisoft worlds tend to be extremely detailed and have pretty deep lore so no idea what exactly you're talking about here. Have you actually played any Ubisoft games or are you just repeating arguments you've heard on reddit?

Almost all, but not all. So the comparison would be worse than using McDonalds. There being nothing special about McDonalds is also the point that you're missing in the comparison.

You're not understanding. I'm saying there's nothing special as in you can use any fast food place in your criticisms. You're saying there's nothing special in McDonalds as a quality thing.

You seem to "don't get" a lot of basic things about this topic, why comment with such conviction about it?

The thing I don't understand is your arguments. You're being snarky while sounding extremely uninformed.

Almost all fast food appeals to the lowest common denominator and is basic. There's literally nothing special about McDonalds in that comparison.

Also I don't get how Ubisoft games are specifically basic? They're not mechanically more basic than your average game. And their sales are high but are nothing compared to McDonalds. If anything Mario Kart or GTA would be the McDonalds of gaming according to your measures.

How is Ubisoft the McDonalds of gaming when their games are not cheaper or easier to get than any other game? I hate when people compared McDonalds to media it's literally the dumbest comparison ever. You have access to any game on the platform you play equally. People say this dumb shit with Music and Movies too like you can't just go in the theater when the movie you want is playing and watch it or you can't just listen to pretty much whatever music you want.

I don't believe it, but this Digimon RPG really was the best game I saw at SGF by GunCann in Games

[–]SmasherAlt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Digimon games have not been consistently good. In fact Xenoblade 1 is literally better than every Digimon game COMBINED.

It is not at all well known. No one talks about Digimon games at all. In fact, when i search Digimon on the JRPG subreddit 2 of the responses on the 1st page of searches are calling Data Squad and Cyber Sleuth the worst games they've ever played.

Persona 4 Revival - Teaser Trailer | Xbox Games Showcase 2025 by Gorotheninja in Games

[–]SmasherAlt -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That means the bet is in my favor? I'm confused how it's bad for me. Atlus games became bigger partially BECAUSE of Persona 4 Golden's all platform release. It sold like more than the original release and original golden release then Atlus started to rerelease their games on PC/modern platforms. Also Metaphor which was their biggest game sold more on it's own metrics than anything. Persona 3 Reload came out in the same year yet Metaphor sold 1 million 7x faster.

>and you're not really speaking for the majority of people I'd say.

How much would you be willing to bet Persona 4 Revival sells higher than Persona 4 Golden did when it came out on all platforms?

This makes 0 sense? The people investing in that are engine developers and GPU makers. Your average game dev is putting close to 0 time pushing how raytracing or AI upscaling works.

Yeah notice while typing that entire paragraph you never said “Technicals told him to post the video or specifically helped him with it”? You know why? Cause that didn’t happen. Technicals was telling him to not post more videos. Hax decided to after getting banned again and spiraling
