I wonder what would’ve happened had they tried a tone truer with the game, and maybe scale it back to a more focused story of just 2-3 main characters...

Yeah, I feel like that’s the element that’s still being learned/sussed out. You make a great point that this game has repeatedly encouraged a ‘play everyone’ approach. Since you can only change at the base (and the best way to get there is dying), a fear of death is something players need to get past.

Not that I know of, but when I level and get a box, and it has a dupe, it just turns into in-game currency. So on the basest level, you’ll never end up with a useless drop.

I’m right there with you! I played part of the first chapter on Hurt Me Plenty, and moved it to Ultra Violence when that felt too forgiving.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if they do it though?

One thing I’ve noticed is that teams on the offensive for capturing points tend to hover around it, too afraid to get in as a group and try to inch some capture progress along.

I’m playing on PC and so far it’s been fine. Only rarely did I run into someone who decided to use voice and type chat to boss everyone around. But no real ample swearing, harassment, or anything.

.99 cents per box might seem cheap, but once you start, there’s no going back. Take it from me. It’s been less than 24 hours and I’ve already spent 10 additional dollars on loot boxes. :(

A few thoughts

It’s so easy for writers to fall into the routine of telling only stories about people who act and think like them.

The more I see of Tabata’s attitude, the more I like him running this game.

Every time someone calls FFXII brilliant, an angel gets its wings.

I’m waiting on the 1070 - outperforms the 900 series as well, and half the cost of the 1080? Sign me up.

But I’m not really being critical of liking the same thing. If you do, that’s fine. Enjoy it. Be happy. Not everyone playing games are in it to play every kind of game imaginable.

While I kinda agree that knowing when or wanting to switch things up can be a challenge for creators, I don’t think his continuation of this adds up to a ‘cynical’ doubt cast over it. That like, he's doing this for a cash grab, out of laziness, creative bankruptcy, etc.

Yeah, but that’s what I mean. Why tease the ‘impressionable’ FNAF fans when we all really subscribe to ‘buying stuff we like, even if it’s like the last thing we bought?’

Yeah, all this.

I dunno...why be cynical? I wish I had that kind of drive, and could make 5 completed anythings in 2 years’ time.

If I had to wager a guess, I’d say millions of impressionable teenagers spending five bucks or so for the same sort of game with different characters. But hey, clowns.

Thanks!

Thanks!
