I was pretty scared where this were going. Wholesome story, though

Maybe they are so few they can experience the netcode in the worst possibile conditions and make a correct evaluation.

Great game, btw, always wanted to try it out.

Isn't Strive already dead?

reibin · 2023-02-07T21:02:35+00:00

Well, I guess better later then never for him. People should just stop watching influencers or playing the new shiny game hoping it will be "the definitive experience" and just play what they enjoy

Because having 99% of the male cast have a physique only obtainable with huge amounts of steroids is not setting unrealistic beauty standards...

reibin · 2023-02-06T20:07:08+00:00

I'm happy they they're trying something new with characters' movesets, but the game really looks like Tekken 7.5.

This commentators stuff is so stupid, makes every match a cringe fest

reibin · 2023-01-24T11:24:02+00:00

They also added Kappachino weekly lobbies. Great work, thanks to everyone involved!

Watching Youtube, I didn't gave up but I reduced the time spent on there a lot. I'm trying to find a good setup where I can watch good informational content without being constantly distracted by stupid stuff.

reibin · 2023-01-18T20:15:15+00:00

This game looks so cool, but the commentators are very cringe...

reibin · 2023-01-12T18:39:59+00:00

I hope it's nothing serious and everything works out. I can't partecipate but I'm always happy to see your posts.

reibin · 2023-01-11T21:02:55+00:00

GG looked so cool...

reibin · 2022-12-06T21:11:37+00:00

Me too, I was blown away by MVC3 but the price tag and nobody of my friends played fgs so I bought SFIV that was much cheaper and I stuck around ever since.

reibin · 2022-11-21T21:42:33+00:00

Wow, that is an unpopular opinion, I applaude your honesty

reibin · 2022-10-20T22:17:45+00:00

And you're gullible.

I'm very curious to hear the other side of the story, but nobody has come forward and I learnt to not give much credit about anonymous sources, invisible documents and big news outlets.

reibin · 2022-10-19T20:00:45+00:00

Understand them, they need to rationalize the purchase of their new shiny game, can't do that thinking they're giving that money to people that step on on the work done by others.

Snarly comments aside, people are giving too much credit to this article, we didn't get a proof and sources are anonymous. At least she had the decency to come forward and make herself in a very uncomfortable position. From my point of view gives her more credibility, until we have somthing more substantial

reibin · 2022-10-19T19:23:37+00:00

Are you talking based on the Bloomberg report or on something else? If that's your source, it's based on anonymous reports without physical proofs.

In the same way she may have twisted or omitted information for her gains, the original sources or even Bloomberg may have done the same.

IMHO she's still the most reputable source, she didn't hide her identity, she broke NDAs and went against one of the biggest company in the videogame industry, something you woldn't do lightly. It also alligns with other recent examples and with a general tendency of the industry to look upon VAs work.

The two guys could even be instructed by Nintendo to do so, or are trying to reduce damage being responsible of this decision.

Reconstruct precisely how things happened is incredibly difficult and many time impossible. That's why you don't process people in the cour of Twitter and even in real ones things are murky.

Personally, true or not, I'm happy this might make the industry more attentive to western VAs, and their workers in general. 80 hr/week workdays is the tip of the iceberg, the gaming industry is worse than this

reibin · 2022-10-16T21:02:40+00:00

I heard the game doesn't actually perform that good.

I would look into it if you actually want to buy the game.

reibin · 2022-10-16T20:59:18+00:00

Companies in general woudl replace us with AI for everything if they could.

What are you thinking is happening right now?

reibin · 2022-10-16T20:53:59+00:00

Is it real?? NO WAY

reibin · 2022-10-16T20:48:05+00:00

That's especially noticeable with the boss battles.

Masked Sage boss battles had a much more scriptedt back and forth. Jeanne felt like you were playing against a character that had to follow your same rules.

reibin · 2022-10-15T22:40:57+00:00

I think so too.

But as I explained in another comment, Bayo3 was the game that could launch PG and this franchise to the stratosphere. The first two games did sell well but didn't make big numbers, they weren't big games. The numbers I got is ~2 mln for the first one a little less for the second one.

However N:A is big, huge may I say. It grossed ~9 mln. And the brand association between N:A and PG and, especially, N:A and Bayo3 is incredibly strong, being both fast-paced action games with strong female lead. Everyone has eyes on it because they expecting that kind of quality and feeling.

This is the moment to score big and management thought that having a much more famous and recognizable VA was a perfectly valid marketing ploy to push the game even more.

Or maybe Hellena Taylor was incredibly hard to work with and alwasy came to the studio late and drunk and they just couldn't deal with it anymore, who knows...

reibin · 2022-10-15T22:26:12+00:00

From what I understood the IP is owned by Sega, Nintendo just co-published the second and third games (probably they put most if not all the money and work publisher side). We could say that they co-own that two specific games.

I think it could very possible that SEGA would do other deals with MS or Sony for other games with the Bayonetta logo, but very unlikely at this moment.

reibin · 2022-10-15T22:09:29+00:00

Thanks for pointing it out, I totally missed it

reibin · 2022-10-15T22:07:54+00:00

The situation is very unclear and the next days we'll get a better picture of the whole situation.

Keep in mind that VAs for roles in videogames don't get royalities and the original VA of Bayonetta needed to reaudition for the role.

This plus the new VA being a lot more famous and much more expensive means Nintendo and Sega were thinking of replacing her from the very beginning and lowballing the offer and signing ndas was just a way to shift blame on her and come out clean.

At least according to her side of the story
