That should've been the case with Babylon's Fall. Really huge dissapointment from Platinum Games.

Ok, this is bothering me. I know it's easy to dunk on Square Enix for their shitty attempts at live service but Babylon's Fall becoming the shit it is now is completely Platinum's fault. Recently they had a change in CEO and this guy is quoted in saying they want to focus on creating games that would "last forever" and that this was the "future of the industry", not "one off" games like Bayonetta. So no, I'm sorry, Square Enix has done and is still doing some shitty stuff, but this is Platinum's mess, not their's.
@thesyndrome432 жыл бұрын
When you first described the multiplayer scaling (or lack thereof), I thought there game was changing nothing for solo players, but after seeing you survive that giant attack from the boss, I think Platinum decided the only thing to scale was enemy damage, but not HP, so whilst the enemies have 4x the HP that they should for a solo player, they are constantly only doing 25% damage, which is why you end up in this boring slog situation

The 2019 trailer looked pretty good and it seemed like we were in for a decent game. The art style stood out now it looks like a generic mobile game with a d-tier story. After playing the demo I think the game has a solid combat system but would have been better off as a single player campaign. However Square Enix seems to have an obsession with GAAS lately. I don't understand publishers prefer to make a mediocre live service game that will probably be dead in six months instead of a solid single player campaign with the option of paid dlc.

@bigbernard73252 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I was pretty disappointed with the demo too. I don't want to see Platnum die because I really loved Metal Gear Rising and Bayonetta, but this already is looking like a flop. It's a brand new demo for everyone to try and I still had difficulty finding 4 people to queue with to take on the first actual boss, Zenon. Also, his MMO insta-down explosion attack which requires 4 people to cooperate to destroy is unfair considering there's no way to communicate with your party members. The art style and general aesthetic actually reminded me Greedfall (a AA single player RPG set on a fantasy island with a plague afffecting the population, what a coincidence.) The worst part is that the melee combat feels super unsatisfying, which is not something you want to see from a PLATNUM game of all things. When I spent more time using bows instead of swords and hammers, that's a problem. The live service aspects like the Battlepass and paid currency is an even further slap in the face. You can either pay with cash or with your precious time, and with combat this bland, I think my time is better spent with another game. On one hand, Platnum is on verge of bankruptcy so I can see why they went this path. On the other hand, this is destroying consumer goodwill while not being likely to bring in the massive profit they were expecting. Honestly, I would be down for a co-op dungeon crawler like the vaporware Deep Down, but this just isn't it.

Platinum is nowhere near bankruptcy, they got a huge investment from Tencent and are working on their own self-published games. Babylon's Fall was just contractual work by their D-Team for Square Enix. It's fully funded, published and owned by Square Enix, Platinum had no say on whether this would be a single player experience or a live service thing. This game completely flopping is not going to have the effect on Platinum you think, they already got paid by Square.

@@Akira-si2ww Babylon's Fall falling(haha) definetely not what both PG and Square Enix wanted, and no doubt will affect the company. If that's was not the case how can they been on the bankruptsy line in 2017 if they always been paid to made games for other companies? In fact i think, that you being optimistic for no reason since: - W101 Remastered sales judging by the number of reviews extremely low, so even PG hardcore fans didn't buy it. No numbers on sales at all which a a bad sign. - No one cares about Sol Cresta, especially with ridiculous pricing like this (50$) - Bayo 3 will not sell a millions, especially knowing that Bayo 2 still can't hit 1m. copies on Switch and that's including Wii U numbers, on the platform with 103m. user base. - They made huge investment into expanding numbers of workers and opening Tokyo office, but yet to produce something heavily profitable like Nier:Automata was (6m. copies sold) and the bills needs to be paid. Babylon's Fall flopping certaintly doesn't help. - Project GG is releasing god know's when, and like the most Hideki Kamiya games will sell poorly. There's no confirmation about D-team, especially knowing that the director Kenjii Saito was a main Programmer of Bayo 1 and on of the directors of MGR. Also Hiroshi Yamaguchi the Okami compositor on the soundtrack. I seriously doubt that "D-Team" were paid lower just because. Yeah, they had Tencent money for now, but how long did they keep company afloat, and what do they ask later for this gift, that is a question.

By which I mean Metal Wolf Chaos XD. I've actually also been playing the Vanquish Remaster as well and...well it certainly is a juxtaposition that shows how far Platinum has fallen. You said this feels like seeing them take up drinking but I think it's more like, that was a while ago but now is the first time they come home blackout drunk with a belt in hand. First they were crowdfunding for a remaster. Ok that's weak but they were independently publishing a remaster of a Wii U exclusive with a cult following. But then they released the successor to Okami as an ios cashgrab that had to retroactively be turned into a non-mtx based REAL game following the backlash that probably wouldnt have even worked if Apple Arcade hadnt offered them a spot in that service. Now they made a garbage live-service at Squeenix's behest and are now working on a...successor to Final Fantasy Tactics. And while I'm all for developers branching out I seriously don't see why they're Co-Developing a top down tactics game that frankly looked like the most jank thing i've seen in any recent release for a long time. ....Anyways this was some well made content!

At this point, square enix feels like it's not letting its developers create their vision and instead chooses what they think is more profitable. Balan wonderworld wasn't even supposed to be a console game, it was supposed to be a mobile one but square insisted it be published for consoles. I know that Platinum can't always be expected to pump out action game masterpieces (wonderful 101 is an example of this) but I don't think they would develop this type of game if not for publisher influence

If bayonetta 3 doesn't sell more copies than every other platinum release combined, that company is as good as dead.

Platinum: "Here's some Us stuff, since you hired us." Squeenix: "No, stop, change it." Platinum: "okay we changed it. Here's some more Us stuff since y-" Squeenix: "No, stop, change it." Platinum: "okay... here's some-" Squeenix: "Ship it."

I think The Division is possibly Destiny 2's closest competitor in the Live Service front but they haven't added any new content for a while and Ubisoft would probably proceeding to make a 3rd one like they did with Assassin's Creed. Destiny 2 has its own ups and downs. Learned one thing, ruined another, fix one thing, mess up another.

You can tell they shoehorn live service into this game. Almost like it was an afterthought
@deliqene3191 Жыл бұрын
I know i am late but shoehorning implies it was just sapled on at the last second. Its more like they hammered a shitty limiter into the car's engine with a sledgehammer a week before the prototype is due

Platinum feels like its had a producer problem since its inception. Even their more coherent games like MGR was shown to be completely different when showing the games off to media outlets. The only games that feel polished inside and out are the Bayo titles

@Bam OuttaDaBayou Haven't played either yet, plus I forgot about them when writing this Should probably get w101 on switch

And Automata, and astral chain. Kinda shame when most of their polished game is only on the switch.

If they wanted to make the game look like a painting, then maybe they should have done what Disco Elysium did and had brush strokes on the textures in the world (and maybe the models)
