I'd prioritise making a good game firstbut knowing EA they'd do it the other way around, plan their live service stuff first then build the game around that.
I'd stock up on popcorn if it doesn't live up to expectations. I expect it to be a great game but any game with that much ambition is going to release as a buggy mess.
I can't recommend this game enough, especially for people new to VR who want a good starter game. This is the game I use for anyone wanting to try VR for the first time.
He isn't fit to speak in Blizzard's name. Blizzard aren't even Blizzard anymore anyway, they're Activision leeching off the rep thanks to the talent that have long since departed.
Welcome to the mediocrity.. sorry Microsoft family! How on Earth do you go from Deathloop to this? It's no wonder Microsoft want to throw all that money at Activision, their gaming department couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery.
Goes to show, you can have as many talented developers as you want but EA is gonna EA it up. I never pick up EA games on day of release for this very reason, I'll pick this up whenever it goes on sale and they eventually have fixed the performance issues.
Honestly, it is a great JRPG, calling it mobile quality is a disservice, this game is easily leaps and bounds ahead of 99.9% of mobile games. Gacha games though are a cancer on gaming, the full price of a retail JRPG game would get you like 30 pulls for the chance of getting a desirable character.
The irony in this is if tit was wo UK companies and the big bad EU blocked it, there would be at the very least twenty articles in the Daily Mail trying to create outrage over it.
Wait until E3... oh wait!
That super pity is such a good feature. My friend quit Genshin after 18 months because of him still not having Diluc.
@Welshy - The cheapskates want the games for free on gamepass.
Brad Smith just had his Adam Orth moment. I'm not patriotic in the slightest and the first to admit there are lots of problems with my country but something about his interview really got under my skin and actually made me angry. I've never seen that level of arrogance before, he's just salty that there isn't anyone for him to bribe to get his own way. The big tech equivalent of a child taking his ball and going home.
I'd fix your mess with Jedi Survivor before talking up future projects.
What idiot spends all that money only to use it twice ? The price is definitely a sticking point but ultimately it represents great value for money with those tech specs.
Even funnier today, as an expression us English use, the toys are well truly thrown out the pram. Both Microsoft and Activision are acting like an entitled petulant child.
Seriously though, I'm still scratching my head how Sony haven't managed to convince Valve to bring Alyx over, it's easily the most mind blowing VR experience to date and would be a real treat playing it on the PSVR 2.
Just remember, no matter how bad your day is going, Kotick is having a worse one. What I'd give to see the look on his face when he found out about the CMA blocking the deal, it's like a ray of sunshine in my cold black heart.
Blizzard lost some of their biggest names way before any of the current controversy was taking place. For those of us who have been long term fans and follow their news, this isn't the Blizzard we grew up loving. Activision basically just turned them into another one of their studios and using their name because of the reputation they have gained over the years due to all the hard work of the people who have left.
Same but they just see it as an opportunity to reach a broader audience.
That will teach that arrogant prick Brad Smith from insulting my country, I'm going to need to stock up on popcorn soon.
