Jumpman of Ludos-Mundi.com Goes On Another Rant
Hey, did you see Iron Man 2? Of course you did. Did you play the super awful Iron Man 2 videogame? Let us hope not, or let us at least hope that you got it on Gamefly and returned the game with no vomit stains. Why do video games from movies and fads suck so bad? If the games suck, why do they keep putting them out on the market?
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
Eventually they’ll realize the value is with the employee not the company. Buying an IP means nothing if the people who contributed are let go. They’ll get it one day.
tech is different because they buy threats and then kill them. Twitter bought Vine and did nothing with it. Despite people seemingly liking it. Could've had tiktok a decade before bytedance. go figure.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
GL compiles a list of some of the most mind-blowing video game narrative twists in recent memory, from The Last of Us to Outer Wilds
With articles like these cant you tag the games mentioned so that we can know ahead of time if there’s a spoiler to avoid?
Not clicking on your article otherwise.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Well, basically because they are shovel ware with small budgets and really short development times. They are just cash ins over a films popularity. If the film becomes a great franchise, there can be good games made based on the IP in some cases, but direct movie games pretty much always suck.
One word "Batman" those games were amazing.
the harry potter games were great but DH part 1&2 turned into a 3RDPS it didn't feel the same I know all of it wasn't based in Hogwarts but still
and at the end of DH part 2 there a nice thank you for playing video http://www.youtube.com/watc...
The best movie based game I ever played is The Warriors.
Spider-Man 2. Nuff said.
