@Coffeemonstah Apparently Hamster now owns the rights to games from C-tier devs like Allumer, Athena, NMK, UPL etc, which is why there are so many of them being churned out.
It's really annoying since there are far more worthwhile games that have yet to see an AA release, like all of Taito's F3 System games like Bubble Symphony and Dungeon Magic, and the rest of Konami's Mystic Warriors-based games like Metamorphic Force and Violent Storm.
@UK_Kev Irrelevant. Using your own logic Halo 1 and 2 are failures because they failed to make the Xbox sell PS2 numbers.
And you prove yet again that you have no idea what "woke" means, and the only minority here the ones crying about SJWs like you. Some of the most critically acclaimed games in the last decade, like Life is Strange, run with LGBT themes and sold very well, and even last year's GOTY Baldur's Gate 3 is full of same-sex romances.
You cry about politics in gaming, and against you have no idea what you're on about. Having a female character that doesn't look like a supermodel isn't politics, otherwise Dark Souls is also "woke" since it's almost impossible to create an attractive female with its character creator. Having military themed games that defaults to the US being good IS political even back in the 2000s, but since it sticks to the status quo apparently that's okay right?
And you're lying about Fable as well, considering that it is almost impossible to create an attractive female character in Fable 2.
@UK_Kev LOL you're just lying now. If the original Halo and Halo 2 really sold like you claimed, then why did Xbox only sell 24 million console worldwide and nowhere near the sales figures of the PS2?
And you keep using that word yet you don't know what it means. Ever heard of the concept of a loud minority? If having an unattractive woman in a CGI trailer means it's "woke", then you clearly haven't played Fable 2 where any female hero that focuses on melee skills would end up with the physique of a female bodybuilder.
@UK_Kev LMAO again you prove that you have no idea what you're on about.
Halo Infinite has 87 at Metacritic
Forza Horizon 5 has 92 at Metacritic
Clearly plenty of people love the games and they did sell millions. You're adding a ridiculous arbitrary standard where every Xbox game is a a failure by default until the outsell the PS consoles.
And it's hilarious that you call Fable 4 "woke" as if it's a bad thing, when two of Sony's own exclusives, Horizon and Last of Us, thrives on it. And Fable has female characters since the second game.
@UK_Kev I don't know what you're on about. Forza Horizon 4 and 5 are well regarded by the Forza community as some of the best open world racing games out there. And those complaining about Halo are a loud minority who don't want any change, and Halo Infinite is regarded by many as a return to form.
And you think fans of Sony's exclusives don't have any complaints? Like GT7's microtransactions controversy? Or the anger over Last of Us 2's narrative decisions and charges to upgrade to the PS5 version? Or Destiny 2 adding a bunch of paywalls while removing old story content?
@Razieluigi Oh, does that explain why Sony themselves are porting their first party exclusives to PC, with Horizon Forbidden West coming this month? You seem to ignore the fact that Sony had their own controversies, from blocking mods and crossplay, to censoring games and deleting purchased digital content.
You pretend that gamers buy PS5 entirely because of its exclusives, and not the fact that there are plenty of casuals who buy it only for a few rounds of FIFA or COD. Meanwhile not everyone is into Sony's ultra-cinematic single player adventures, and plenty of people still play Halo and Forza Horizon on Xbox, while millions of people still played Starfield in spite of its flaws. Furthermore Gamepass is a great deal that saves people hundreds of dollars and let them discover games they'd never have otherwise played, especially considering that games are getting more expensive every generation.
@UK_Kev Both the Halo and Forza Horizon series has been selling well. Sony meanwhile did not have a proper GT game until GT7 while they killed off Killzone so they could pretend Destiny and COD are PS exclusive franchises.
@N-MCMXCIX Music copyright is handled differently, and Over the Rainbow will remain copyrighted until 2056 ie 70 years after the death of its composer in 1986.
@Azathoth Yep that's what annoys me about the Johnny Turbo games. Apparently the Retro Classix ones released later do allow you to customize the controls but apparently their emulation quality is worse with frequent crashes.
I get my Fighters History fix with Karnov's Revenge on Arcade Archives, which IMO is a far better game than the original.
