2 is kinda old school, I got into the series with 5 and kinda went back. Great games all of them though, only 4 has some mixed negatives in there.
Too bad the fans already did that and fixed ST's mistake. I still welcome it. But they really should just hire the fans, port the game over, and be done with it.
Never really played them, didn't pop on my interests back in the day. Though that Elyudian Chronicles game is fantastic so maybe i would have really liked Suikoden, at least the second one because apparently that is the good one.
Eiyuuden is a lot like 2 yeah. Made by the veteran devs from the series. Though they're all really good, 1 is very old and kinda short but beyond that you really can't go wrong.

Normally I would call out Nintendo and their brutal way of shutting down fans and content creators, but not this time.
If it was one of those old games that isn't available to modern hardware, I might understand. But ffs, the guy streamed UNRELEASED GAME. He really should've known what was gonna happen
Can we award bonus hypocrisy points for the guy saying "capitalism is cancer" while monetizing his channel and setting up funding avenues?Nintendo sues player who kept streaming pirated Switch games, taunted ‘I can do this all day’ | VGC

Meh, Disney CEO last like one season before they get ejected. So actually would be good, EA could maybe get a better CEO.
They're releasing a remaster of 1/2 soon. Skip 1, its old and didn't age particularly well and while the story are all in a shared universe, they're essentially separated from each others outside of the occasional cameo. imo 3 is the best one, its the only one that use the fact that the game has very large rooster (with 3.5 protagonist, so you'll actually use most of the character).
Oh, the guy that brought loot boxes to FIFA?
Someone better tell Disney that it was under his watch that their Star Wars brand, target audience of children, got in a controversy over selling gambling too minors.
Yup, can’t help but think that’s the face of a psychopath.
Remember when they told people to get comfortable with not owning games? Well, get comfortable with keep getting these lawsuits and low sales, Ubi-shit!
Poetic justice!

The Swedish Games Industry has presented their yearly report.
This was something I had been looking forwards to. This has been the year where multiple layoffs has occurred and multiple titles have flopped. This has also been the year where Karlstad-based Embracer Group had to be split in three parts due to their financial struggles. I was curious how this translated into the actual numbers. In particular since the big trend last year was "The massive Embracer Group bought a whole bunch of studios", and the overall trends over the last decade has been that the numbers keeps going up and up.
I therefore must concur with Per Strömbäck, the Managing Director of the Swedish Games Industry that wrote the foreword, that I am surprised over how little you can tell from the actual numbers that things are not going so well in the business overall:
The one caveat I have is that the numbers they present does not include the current year of 2024, they stop at 2023, but by then Embracer had already split up (although the Gearbox sale happened this year).
I wonder how Malmö-based Massive Entertainment's flop Star Wars Outlaws and Stockholm-based Paradox Interactive's failure to launch Life By You this year will affect the next report.
Also, this report is obviously focussing on one country; how well the statements stated in the report applies to other countries is subject to discussion. If anyone has any report on another country I'd be happy to read it.

Don't get me wrong: if the overall trend over the last years has been double-digit-percentage growth then slipping down to just a single-digit-percentage growth is indicative that things are worse, but the fact that the industry keeps on growing even in bad times makes it sound like things could be okay overall.Per Strömbäck said:

What does this studio actually do?
They only produce little shit games nobody's heard of, like Oblivion, Skyrim, Doom (2016), Fallout, and Wolfenstein: The New Order. Fire 'em all, I say; it's not as if they ever even touched Fortnite.Hundreds of ZeniMax workers go on strike to protest Microsoft 'dragging their feet' on negotiations over job security and remote work
