'As of yet, no publisher has seemingly been able to justify RTO with strong data.'.

Has ANYONE been able to justify RTO with strong data?

anast194d ago

No. The investors want it because their 'cousins' are in commercial real estate.

Knushwood Butt193d ago

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure many companies as using RTO as an indirect way of driving people to quit so that that they can thin out their workforce without having to pay out a severance package.

anast193d ago

That too and the workers won't put up a fight so they will get pushed around.

Honestly would be nice, but this game is such a complete product. I have been spending hours just cleaning up the mini bosses. I found such an over power build and when I got to Frozen Heart it was just EASY party the three dancers to 300k exp over and over.

I haven’t even gone to the Axons yet and I am pretty sure the rest of the game is going to be a cake walk. I beat sprong just a bit ago and MAN did I over kill. And NOW I got the cheater Picto? It’s over the enemy never getting a turn lol

Turn-Based Isn't Dead, It's Hiding In Plain Sight

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 has proven that there is an audience for turn based game play, but what else has been doing that all along?

Yea but what we need back is that classic square turn based combat and for AAA not to be afraid to go back to it. It is also just so frowned upon. Yet look at clair obscur, persona, and plenty of games that are beloved.

Lexreborn217h ago

All I hear is there’s no loss in this style of game and we still have very quality options. Square did 14 turn based entries, not including the side games like world of final fantasy and other classic games that are turn based.

Square wants to evolve their engine and expand their styles. We really need to let them work it out, I don’t mind photo realistic action rpgs and anime ones like tales of franchise. Let’s just take it in strides and measure the content on what is delivered maybe?

i mean, ever since Final Fantasy move away from it, u really only had Atlus and Dragon quest 12.

its a shame that asquare feels the need to move away from it.

but im glad that exp33 brought it back, wkth alot of success.

like can u imagine ff16 or ff7 remake to be like that? daaaym.

Michiel19891d 12h ago

what?

Sea of Stars, Eiyuden Chronicles, Triangle Strategy, Octopath, Bravely Default. DoS, Yakuza, xcom, marvel xcom and many, many (indie) games are turnbased. Most games i play nowadays are turnbased and I never ran out of good games to play.

RedDevils6h ago

Don't forget Falcom's games all are turn base.

andy851d 9h ago

Need Wasteland 4 or a modern old-skool-esque isometric Fallout

Michiel19891d 12h ago

Wasteland 3 is the only one I played of them and while I enjoyed it a lot, I had to wait a couple months to play because the loading times and bugs were unmanagable, really hope if they release a sequel they give it a bit more polish for launch, cause the game itself was hella fun.

raWfodog1d 14h ago

I've always loved both turn-based and action rpgs. For me, it's the overall combat flow and mechanics that interest me more than whether I'm moving around or standing still.

VersusDMC1d 13h ago

I played 300+ hours of P3Reload, SMTVengence and Metaphor last year. And Metaphor was a GOTY contender last year. As was infinite wealth.

So i don't know where this Turn based games are dead narrative is coming from...
