Pretty generous in what you consider good Mana games.
There are exactly 2 good ones, and I’ll die on that hill: the first one, and the second, and the second one starts falling apart about halfway through once they found out it wasn’t going to be a CD-ROM game.
I was so excited for Sword of Mana and it was easily one of…

It’s not really Free to Play... It’s just a Free trial up to level 20 that you can easily do in a couple of hours. And then you can’t play it anymore until you buy it... So it’s pretty much just a demo.
For PC players, who previously never had access to a dodge,
The idea of a game and what NFTs are good for is entirely at odds. Games are centralized— they have one company running servers for code the company knows intimately. You don’t ever need to exchange assets across a trust barrier, which is where NFTs shine, because the proof is in the math, you don’t need to trust the…
We present to you, Diablo Immortal:
Not just single player, no Season Pass, no pre-order DLC, no exclusive content for buying Mountain Dew or Butterfingers or some dumb shit. Elden Ring is a genuine, full, complete game.
“Gonna need some actual data to prove that”
Your points are even easier to refute:
It’s cool that it’s coming on PC... I’m just not excited about what is likely a FOMO-based Diablo.
Like SUPER not excited, no matter the platform.
I’ll see what it looks like, sure. But the second I see the daily/weekly/monthly login rewards, daily free shop item, 13 currencies, “89% off” starter pack, and constant…
Is this really the sequel it deserves? I think most people wanted to have the same cast as the previous game and the same writers. This sequel provides neither.
It feels like a lot of games (Fallout 76 included) haven’t meaningfully progressed past what Fallout: New Vegas accomplished back in 2010
The combat is more engaging for me than Diablo’s. Positioning matters for one. Flipping over a boss while raining bullets down so you can land behind them for a quick Back attack is a better feeling in my opinion than just spamming buttons to mow down thousands of enemies blindfolded.
They fail to capture what really made the original creepy. It sits in an uneasy uncanny valley. It has infant qualities but is just off enough to be unsettling without outright trying to be grotesque
Crypto could relatively be isolated to a speculative currency. But when they pitched NFTs as this “great thing for artists”, it was a really special way to insult our intelligence and further prey on the most exploited and exploitable.
It’s not exactly helping our planet to not go to shit either. If there at least would be (positive) gameplay changes coming with NFTs. But for us gamers it’s in the for the largest parts bad. Also I doubt anyone who is against NFTs otherwise cherishes cryptocurrency, rather the contrary is likely the case. Just…
Unannounced Survival Game...
Capitalism rewards risk-taking, you guys. That’s why CEO’s can devalue and embarrass their company their sheer corruption and incompetence, get bought out and still expect a $300 million bonus check for being fired.
With everything we’ve learned about Kotick, do you really think he’d fire his fellow deplorables? No, he’s doubling down on protecting the scumbags and harassing their victims, because that’s been his M.O. this entire time. He’s too firmly entrenched in that pattern of behaviour to change now, and he has so much…
Not based on how they’ve handled the PR to date, no, they would want to obfuscate as much as possible. Remember a large number of the top people at the company are from the Republican political machine. It’s all about obfuscation and deception.
Not if they want to give the impression that it was just “a few bad apples”.
