So now they will focus on quality? lol

blackblades69d ago

To be fair, they the only ones. Square and other Japanese devs been lacking is quality for a long time and they made up for it in good games.

SilentZeroX69d ago

Capcom, Nintendo, and Atlus are far better than Bandai, and you can't really count FromSoftware as one of Bandai's studios.

blackblades69d ago

@silent yeah I know, i ment to put a few. Example square gives quality to FF, with SO and valkyrie nope. Koei quality been eh but there games are fun. Its not just Japanese though.

Good let’s hope others follow them before the industry get too close to collapsing again.

-Foxtrot69d ago

Yeah…when they realised we’re not all massive suckers

Pepsi_Man300069d ago

Absolutely insane that quality wasn't already a focus

H969d ago

That's the most insane statement I have ever heard, it's basically saying "from now on we will try to make good games"

CrimsonWing6969d ago

I mean, why in the f*ck wasn’t this the priority from the get-go? Now that you see consumers aren’t going to swallow up your dribble for full price you have to make the announcement that you’re focused on making “quality” games now? What a joke.

jznrpg69d ago (Edited 69d ago )

Quality should always be the focus and that will get you $$$$. Though I have to say Bandai Namco has made some great games but some of their anime stuff could be better quality

Reading the article it seems they only changes to be expected are censorship? No breast size slider is becoming a common occurrence, even BG3 heralded as the RPG that respects your choice doesn't let you change the size of a female character's breasts.

Snookies12238d ago

Yeah, it's kind of BS. People should be able to change the size of their junk or their boobs in pretty much any character creator. It's just another part of the body, after all.

Abriael238d ago (Edited 238d ago )

The breast size slider is actually there. Surprisingly.
They removed a button that lets you test the physics of the character (hair, breasts, and such). You press it, and they bounce.

Apparently, according to them it has become "the breast bounce button" and they may not have noticed it was to test all physics, and male characters had it as well.

Lorshna2022238d ago

I suppose I can see why they don't want to add it in, kind of. Sensitive people rule the world now. And god forbid they become aware that some people like boobs.
For me though as a female gamer its nice to make characters that look like me. Maybe not completely I'm not that confident, but boob size is a variance that actually exists, so what's the issue?

Yung-T238d ago

In what world does the sentence "the button that tests the physics of the female characters' breasts" translate to removing the size slider?
And the people jumping on the bandwagon should maybe also read the actual article instead of commenting blindly.

Not paying full price for cut censored garbage sorry

Vits238d ago

I'm pretty sure it is f2p.

GameBoyColor238d ago

Mmm lame. I heard jp version already had issues that made players quit playing, add censorship on top and I'm just not interested anymore. shame.

PapaBop238d ago

After Lost Ark and New World, I won't touch anything from Amazon now. The way they lock full servers stopping people from playing with friends and guilds etc completely turned me away.
