It was just a solid action game. I wouldn't put it on the level of previous winners like Elden Ring or Baldur's Gate 3 because it's clearly a step down from that but the pickings in general were all very mid. The whole political thing isn't really the main issue, it's more the fact that Game Journalists (slur) are deciding awards and people are trying to pretend there's any credibility to this shitshow when the rest of the year involves Game Journalists (slur) showcasing why the recent mass firings that happened this week were well deserved for them. Fuck, they gave Helldivers 2 the award for "Best Ongoing Game" after the PSN fiasco and they STILL have blocked people in regions that don't have PSN from playing despite them already purchasing the game.
Peak doesn't belong in the same sentence as Xillia lol. Tales stopped being good in the PS2 era. Full-3D ruined the series. The series peaked with Destiny R and it was all downhill from there. Narikiri Dungeon X was probably the last great Tales game.The children crave for peak
I wonder if they'd remaster Vesperia, I don't think it needs anything after DE. They definitely need to remake Symphonia/Zestiria, those battle systems are garbage.
On the other hand I fear they'd ruin Destiny/Rebirth/Abyss/Legendia/Xillia gameplay to make it simpler and more "friendly".
you can't fix something fundamentally broken.
Interesting choice. Off the top of my head, I'd like to see a remaster of Arcanum.
Is there proof of this? AFAIK, the CCP and their nationalist bootlickers have only been screeching whenever Xi gets made fun of, or Taiwanese de facto independence is acknowledged. At the same time, they hate woke shit and would great leap forward any blue hairs that try that shit on their soil. I personally think all the woke shit is a psyop by the American intelligence agencies to get the general public to hate each other while the pedophile elites ransack the West.
You are out of your mind if you can't enjoy Xillia and Vesperia. The games push you to break them as long as you pick the hard diff.
The series has been in a downward spiral since the PS3/360 era. Going 3D was the worst decision they made and the combat systems were strict downgrades since the very beginning over the 2D ones made by the Destiny team (the team that made Destiny, Eternia, Destiny 2, Rebirth, and Destiny R) and the fact that they didn't abandon the TP system for all their games immediately after the Destiny team basically perfected their formula with R just shows they had no clue what they were doing.
Karma is the best, handsdown. Not only because it is a fucking kino song, but because Motoo Fujiwara, BUMP OF CHICKEN's vocalist wrote the song specifically for the game, ensured it was written to be heavily tied into the story and theme of the game, and composed other key moment songs for the game that gave us a big break from Fujiwara by being both orchestrated and not phoned in for the first time in a long time.
Star Ocean?I know we keep talking about Tales but this doesn't explain why Star Ocean was better
If we put it by other franchises, Star Ocean is Sonic, Final Fantasy is Mario, Tales is Ninja Gaiden and Atelier is Tony Hawk.I know we keep talking about Tales but this doesn't explain why Star Ocean was better
Yeah but ragebait works better if i rate the good one lower then the other also good ones.
Wokeshit is intended to weaken the CCP's competitors and make them cheaper for Chinese companies to acquire. So, yes, China is going to crack down on any attempts at wokeness because they don't want it destabilizing and weakening themselves, but they're quite happy to export it to their enemies and have it weaken them as competitors.
