Ahah yeah "sequel" has the same meaning in French ;)
Love the double sense here, I'll re-use it thanks!
Yeah EA is clearly to blame but in the end the fault also lies on Disney. They are the one managing the license.
After butchering the license, at least they had the common sense to realise what they did and not insist too much on it...
The still backed themselves in a corner though. Or rather, "capped" the star wars timeline unless they retcon the movies.
Yeah and you can still see the impressive art team at play with marathon (in impressed they still managed to keep talented people, seeing how they fired people left and right).
However, is there really a market for extraction shooter these days?
The choice of making this kind of game really feel like trend chasing and generaly this doesn't end well...
The way they added story "filler", the nonsensical scenario, the fomo/mandatory grind as well as the "you have to pay for everything" finally pushed me over the edge of my rabbid "I need to play" and completionist tendency. It was the last straw.
I'm gland I left because it's when shit started e to hit the fan:
they started to make you pay for a lot of thing that was previously included in the expansions (dungeons, raid,...).
They started to fire their (highly talented) staff en masse.
FOMO was getting out of control indeed.
You could feel the greed out of most of the decisions.
Vaulting content (why???)
Shame because
it was of the best shooting/power gameplay out there. The art and design was incredibly.
The lore was deepd and with a lot of "hidden" link darksoul style (even if it'd be easy to argue it was just obscure and writer had no idea what they were doing)
The sci/fantasy mix was working very well and for me is still unique so far.
I might give it a go again, but it'll not be the same without my old clan.
Enshittification, also known as crapification and platform decay, is a pattern in which online products and services decline in quality over time. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers, and finally degrade their services to users and business customers to maximize profits for shareholders.
Yes, we are in the third phase: service to user is free diving in order to increase money to M$ shareholders?
If I were you, I'll be on the lookout regarding Nintendo communication about possible improvements to the joycon drift problem of the Switch 1.
Especially since they said they won't be using Hall effect joystick.
I'm back into tears of the kingdom on switch 1 these days and I understand why I dropped the game in the first place: joycon drift can be... simply rage inducing.
I don't know streamable, but no easy way to mute the video give me a VERY bad first impression.
