Oh absolutely, this automatically made the game a skip for me.
I was just trying to find a possible explanation since "the money people" are usually the ones forcing this useless tech onto the creatives, but it may just not be the case this time.

I'll start by saying this is an observation, not a defense. I'm willing to bet this is the result of potential investors demanding "AI integration" before providing funding. Aside from that, yeah, a shitty move is a shitty move.

This a 1000 times. I will fully look up a list of announcements after the fact and watch the trailers I'm interested in on their respective channels.

I still feel sour about the post credit scene from the 1st game. It had a very good (albeit open) ending before credits. There was no need to beat you over the head with sequel bait.
That made me never to pay any attention to the IP anymore.

I can't shake the feeling that the second the acquisition goes through I fear it's "lights out" for bioware.

Rampantly abysmal performance aside, the fact is that at the end of the day, the game is a worse version of world. No 2 ways about it.

That and, the players he's referring to are gen-z/alpha who grew up with games as their platform (roblox, minecraft, fortnite, etc.), not hardware. They learned that whatever piece of hardware they picked up, their game was available there, and if it wasn't, it was "useless". Simple as that.

This petty level of extortion is really sad to see. On the other hand, sure, they haven't been clear enough about their position on developers since 2022 (and before) with all the layoffs. And don't even get me started on the state of the country for foreigners flying into the US. What a joke.

Oh thank God for the lip sync. It drove me nuts on Tsushima.

At the risk of coming off as "one of those people": does this come with JP voice over? I didn't see it announced anywhere but I wasn't paying enough attention to the game until recently.

This is a disaster. If I wanted to play an MMO raid I'd play ff14. Waste of a monster slot, is all that this is.

Question for you Mat: Do you think this increase in subs is a "temporary boon" and whenever the economy goes back to "normal" these subs will go back down, or is it a similar trend like the digital adoption acceleration that happened during the pandemic?

I get what you mean, but bringing it to what imran said, you have to take on account the amount of traffic these types of games generate. Everything will be about silksong during at least a week. It may not impact directly, but it may cut into potential sales by way of becoming "the discourse"

To make the comparison very exaggerated: this is the GTA 6 of indie games, in terms of mind share.

The example that's usually brought up in this regard is the Dreamcast, but I don't know how much of it is myth vs reality.

For me it is similar but instead I've been fully on Japanese games since 2018 with the casual sprinkling of indies here and there. It's been delightful.

Did you catch any hint of souls-like combat from the footage? It would absolutely kill my interest in the game and I'm terrified about the prospect.
