Bahamut and Tiamat both a real-world mythological creatures. They are also DnD dragon gods, and the first FF was actually from developers’ DnD sessions. So they are not FF creations.
I’m a third fleeter and about the same age as you guys. Always enjoy these episodes and appreciate what you both bring to these discussions. I wouldn’t have cracked MH without Gajin’s tutorials. It’s now my favorite series and can’t thank him enough. Appreciate Rurikhans insight, passion and guidance as well. Game on my guys!
If there was grounds for litigation reqarding palworld, the most litigous company would have done it, they're both japanese companies, they've had three years
The Palwaorld Ai discussion is not about AI creating 3D Models for the Pals. It is about using AI to design and remix Pokemon to create new Pals. I think you missunderstood that since you also criticising that exact use of AI. 2:10:03
I think Dragons dogma 2 needs a system for leveling down and rolling back your stats. Think Digimon sorta. You're a level 50 fighter and want to make a lvl 50 spearhand. You roll back 20 levels of fighter stats putting you at lvl 30 and reclass as a mage. Farm up to 20 lvls of mage and you have a 30/20 fighter/mage split and reclass as a spearhand. You save the levels you've earned in any class so you don't have to relive them and you can't use them to level past the highest overall level you have achieved. So if you level to 20 and roll back to 0 with five different classes you are still capped at 20 and can't just combine the class levels for a overall level of 100.
The 30 fps rumor is completely bogus btw. The most recent trailer was captured on ps5 and hit 40-60 a lot of the time, outside of the sorcerer portions lol. Either way that rumor was spread by a well known pc piracy advocate that hates denuvo, and DD2 has denuvo, so they have a motive to lie about the game.
People talking about 30fps. The first time I played this game was on ps3. I was walking on a mall and saw a video game store with a TV in front and a rpg party fighting a griffin. I was 14 and got sooooo excited, got the game and went home running to play.
For those worried about multiple saves on DD 2, go on whatever your platform is and make a guest profile. Switch to that profile when you want a second Dragons Dogma save file. This works with the original as well.
The "30fps" rumor for dragon's dogma 2 is officially a dead rumor. Watch the state of play "action trailer" from last week, you can check the footage; it's captured on ps5 and it exceeds 30 fps during gameplay at many points.
I always found the character of the emperor really interesring, and i think they wanted to make him neutral. The things he does isnt necessarily because he wants to follow morals, he does things to serve his purpose. From what ive seen in the comminity people either hate or love the emperor which is a pretty good sign of a solid neutral character
Banana Jinouga here: I started playing on the European server because of Ruri said somewhere people should play on European servers :P I was a big noob by that time and I thought I'd not play for a long time lol. Also one of my co-worker/friend told me JP servers aren't very fun so I should play on EU servers. Anyway, I just finished EW this weekend, Ciel finished HW and...Ruri, THANK YOU for introducing us to that amazing game! Gaijin, FanFest was tons of fun and I'm glad we could meet there!
Ruri is correct, there was continue (manual), and restart from checkpoint (auto/sleep). Also the one save slot shouldn't be an issue, just play through the game with your consequences, then try again on your next playthrough.
You are wrong about this actually. There were two types of saves: Manual/auto, and Checkpoint. 90% of checkpoint saves happen at inns when you rest, but there are also parts of the game (usually major story beats) that initiate a checkpoint save. However there are also auto saves when travelling between zones occasionally, completing quests, etc. And those DO overwrite a manual save you made in the menu. They share the same slot. Lots of misinformation about this online because it's not the most obvious thing, but yeah. Your manual save from the menu can and will be overwritten by certain autosaves. It's still not the biggest deal in the first game, because as long as you know when the game likes to autosave, you can always exit the game and return to your manual no problem. But if for example you make a manual at the beginning of a quest, then complete it, the game will auto save, and you will only be able to load the autosave (because it replaces your manual) source: I'm playing the game right now, and the internet has been having this discussion since the game came out. I think it's just been a while for Ruri and he doesn't remember. Also this system still had issues, because you can't even load a checkpoint save unless you die or kill yourself. So if you did mess up a quest and the autosave screwed you over, you would need to kill yourself to retry from a checkpoint save (resting at an Inn). Assuming that save is before your failure of course. Not the biggest deal, but definitely not a perfect system.
The presure to like mindflayer is Illythind mind games its like meta game and I really like that. Your character is trapped by mindflayers and they are strong so escaping their grasp is supposed to be hard and confusing because they mess with your brain. I guess I would say its lore accurate
The fast travel in dragons dogma has me worried. Yes, exploring what's around a mountain is fun one time. If I have to go back and forth multiple times for something, I'm going to get annoyed. I don't care if they have random encounters. I can imagine these random encounters losing their excitement very quickly.
With the DD2 save file issue. I think they should allow you to make a new character once you have completed the story with one. And another after finishing the story again. It will kind of suck if you want to experience the game again and you have to essentially delete your progress??
Despite what Gaijin said about generative AI "art" the sad thing is that at least 90% of its users don't put the same effort as those guys he mentioned. There's way more bad than good it's being used for.
I understand the argument that endgame gear makes for poor stats distribution. However I never hear anyone talk about midgame gear. Is the midgame gear also good enough for your former Fighter, newly Sorcerer character?
That depends on your ability to adjust to tools at your disposal, for example past lvl 10 up to level 100 warrior gets 40HP and 5 physical attack, sorcerer gets 16hp and 2 physical damage, there will be diffrences in health and stamina pool, and it does affect your ability to deal damage through stamina consuming skills or mitigate damage. You can always pause and chug on consumables but it does in fact change the gameplay flow. In my opinion stats do matter up to the point you can get ur dragon or BBI gear, but if you want to swamp from pure physical to pure magical vocation it might matter to you event after that point.
@@AlehorTheShadow Thank you for this explanation and bringing nuance to this . It has always bothered me when I hear people saying "stats don't matter because endgame DLC gear exist". I also don't like total minmaxing, but I understand the feeling of not wanting to "waste" stats. I saw some Reddit post saying there might be a chance for Vocation to actually modify your total stats. With evidence from Demo... But then again could be demo only. If so that would mean stats like for Jobs in FF or like in Bravely default.
I hate that stance. I got to BBI and couldn't damage things at all and it takes literally hours of grinding RNG to get any even slightly good BBI gear. The end game gear argument is terrible.
It hurt hearing that Ruri put Minthara at D. Yeah, he never played with her as a companion, so it makes sense, but she's definitely up there. Funniest Drow around.
Bahamut actually originates from Arabic mythology where it is depicted as an inconceivably large whale with the head of an elephant. Gary Gygax would take the name and add it to his Greyhawk D&D setting as the god of all good aligned dragons - The Platinum Dragon Bahamut. The creators of JRPGs would take inspiration from the D&D version and create multiple depictions based on that.
Crazy that Pal world is so good for early release its better than most AAA releases going to be crazy when its complete and effigy are fixed and some issues with wall clipping
Highly recommend you watch the anime of Granblue Fantasy (both seasons), it's an important part of the story .. it's how all the main crew met each other and got their ship, it's included in the game in the FATE episodes but anime is much better than just voiced lines on a static screen.
Its even funny how DnD and JRPG as a Dragon when it is a gargantuan fish in the myth that carries the world. Well more that the bull is standing on Bahamut while there is an Angel holding the world on its back on top of the bull.
2:10:27 In Animation the Ai Problem is that Ai isnt creating Frames with correct Pacing or shape. Ai dosnt understand the kontext of the Animation and so it dosnt know what kind of animation effect it has to use to make a movement look good. A Human purpoesly draws deformations, speedlines, double eges, thick or thinner lines in order to create different effects. With AI its always just the same linear movement which is why we only use it for in between frames to increase the Frame Rate. But even for that it ruins the Effect and makes it more generic and boring at which point you could also just go to 3D Animation if you already gave up at 2D Animation Styles. Every 2D Animation Studio could use AI today but they dont because they know what they sacrefice in order to safe money so they rather stick to the old 24 fps concept and make it look cleaner instead of fluid.
The one save file thing was the biggest BS decision they made in dd1 and I hate that they're bringing this back. Given how big the game supposedly is going to be there's plenty of room for bugs that could permanently screw your playthrough and with only one save file there is no way to fix it. So I guess I'd have to back up my saves manually again... Also given how completely obscure some quests in dd1 were you can't blame people for looking stuff up. It took me over one hour the first time I did that quest where you have to run into that courier that tells you where to go next, because I had no idea where that guy was actually running around and I was so incredibly frustrated at that time because the game was wasting my time.
About stats - we don't know yet, maybe they found a hybrid method that will work best. Another thought I had, they may give you options later down the line to respec OR other thing entirely that will make the experience better. I can only hope they had these same conversations in the team and reached a solution.
I get exactly what you are saying rurikhan about baldurs gate 3s story. The game clearly railroads you into in same way shape or form associating with mind flayers. There should def be a route against the emperor immediatly.. Theres also very little story pay off for going no illithid powers the game clearly wants you to go illithid powers.
Main thing for DD2 I was hoping for was the Multiplayer...... Dragon's Dogma Online showed how much fun it could be .....but I will still enjoy the game
Less than 2 Months. Wonder if I get MHW done till than. Had to start over after I lost all my saves. 600+h gone. 😅 But it’s a good way to learn a new weapon.
@@TheZestyCar well I switched from PS4 to PS5 and transferred all data but somehow my save files didn’t. Also I deleted all stuff off my PS4 and sold it. Shit happens I also was 10 crowns short on platinum on base and Iceborne. But it kinda is ok cause I can experience all the glory again. 🤣
I know that sucks but its pretty fun starting from scratch and working your way through learning a new weapon. I’m doing that with great sword and man its a blast even when i get my ass kicked by some elders lol
Palworld was definately ai generated (google the creature "suzaku" and thats all the proof you need. no human made that abomination.) and the alot of the designs definately where ripped from things like pokemon, digimon, yokai watch, and various animes (grizzbolt is just reskinned totoro.) the grass rabbit is nearly 1 to 1 a grass type cinderace (genuinely think they did use the mesh model for cinderace, its far too similar) the dragonair ripoff has primarinas hair, ect. disappointed because its fun, but I can't really get attached to any of the creatures there because I know they wern't made by a human and it definately does them disservice. in the long run i think it hurts them if they want to further build on their brand, because they're not standing on their own merits and people will get bored of the topics. also its not very polished i wouldn't say. I've encountered more bugs in palworld than I have ark survival ascended, and thats saying something. when the mysticism wares off, like the exact thing did with ark, people will start raising eyebrows. theres already bugs they said they've fixed but have only made more noticeable (pals clipping through the base barrier, pals idling, pals randomly getting sick, ect)
Sorry but talking down to modern developers is exactly what Itsuno should be doing. Dragons Dogma 2 is the first game to respect design philosophy I've been wanting in games for decades. This game is the closest to my ideal that exists right now and its because he has a vision and knows how to design a game around a vision, and not just a vision around an existing template. More developers need to understand what is important in games to the people who truly appreciate them. The ESG garbage and mainstream takes on what games aught to be is killing many of the developers we once loved. Itsuno is barely surviving with DD2 as even it has traces of ESG influence. At least the game looks better than anything we have seen to date. About time a developer understands adventure.
@justinp_ The first game is an excellent example of good design philosophy cut short. Given the ideas presented this is a massive move in the right direction in all but gear customization. I am absolutely justified in giving credit to this. He speaks of ideals I've been aware of for decades that games completely lack especially since the mainstream took over. The only thing that will hold this game back is Capcom selling out to DEI for a good ESG score.
@@MatthewManney You'll be justified when the game comes out and everything he's says turns out to be true. So many examples in the past of developers saying all the right things in pre-release interviews and marketing, and it all being nothing but a facade. I enjoyed the first game and I'm looking forward to this, but abit of scepticism doesn't hurt.
@justinp_ I'm already skeptical enough. But I know from the hours of footage I've seen that it will at least respect the design philosophy I speak of to a decent degree at the least.
dude, you play eugen which ignores like 90% of the mechanics of the game, you have no right to complain about diffuculty....play siegfried and say that again lol
Eugen is a beast true. But throughout the campaign I barely played him. And all my friends playing the game (not with Eugen) agree with me, it takes too long to get challenging.
Eh I don't think the Blizzard game was cancelled just because of the tax write off, it feels more like the result of the lesson they learned with Redfall. I wouldn't put much stock into Blizzard devs saying it was really good either, they said the same things about Diablo IV and we all know how that turned out.
aw so no yandere system with the npc ai? ign framed by omission in the subtitles that they'd get into fight over you having like an innocent play date. nothing specifying romance and setting it up as just your friends getting into a death match over you even if they weren't enemies before this. i made fun of this statement by saying some players would go through the game seeing just how many people they could get to kill each other with a system like this. oh well, i bet there's a lot of other wacky stuff in the game that makes it still feel like the devs went all old school table top insanity with it "that idea is insane but you made the dm Itsuno laugh so we have to put it in the game now." good to know ign was going full rage bait for clicks, maybe warrior's buffs won't be a complete disaster. as long as it won't frequently auto saves you in a game breaking glitch so i have to restart the entire playthrough it's fine. if it does, that's shitty. i get it, if they want the server to be lighter so fewer pawns with only 1 per copy of the game, most of the time but work arounds exist, at 1 time but just don't have it in a way where 1 bug kills a full playthrough like gaijin's honor mode story or it saving in a state where a bug locked something you need to progress. if it's about the choices, don't worry, new game plus will exist. i highly doubt we won't have new game plus this time. yes Ruri, if quest will vanish, tell us what quest are like than and at least warn us so we can back out of the trigger that locks them so we can finish them first. wasn't just in game time, quests like that existed but most of this was if your progress to far in the main story you lose side quests. warfarer has the potential to be op, the idea of only having 4 skills on the others but warfarer gets 12 is nuts. if they somehow make the stat drop matter i'll just laugh and make the utimate support where i rarely attack so those stats of nerfed damage won't matter because i contribute in other ways. i mean their balancing always has issues so whatever, unintended things will be op. my idea was sorcerer, magic archer and trickster if things are balanced well so i'm not doing a wacky work around. gaijin loves arching, who's his enemy? he better get approved by the gild of calamitous Intent lol.
I feel like, for better or worse, the edginess Gaijin notices in English articles is a result of the fandom surrounding the "realistic action RPG" games like Souls, Elden Ring, Monster Hunter, and Dogma. The whole snark, purposeful inconvenience etc. are all the talking points we hear within "our" community, including Ruri. In that sense, you could say IGN writers are kinda writing to the market they think the game caters to - edgelord gamers who want DiFfIcULt GaMEz. Blaming the game journos only seems a bit dishonest tbh, it's standard demand-supply. I say this, because sometimes the extent of edginess these circles have annoys me. I previously translated Itsuno's "Dragon's Dogma 2 as Isekai reincarnation simulator" he mentioned in an IGN interview as a joke, and I got SO MUCH semi-pushbacks of what that means etc. The vibe I got was not dissimilar from people who complain how Monster Hunter Rise was "so anime" and all that - their edgy sensibilities can't take the seemingly less serious connotations these words have. Sorry, rant over.
I think its a huge missed opportunity to not have multiplayer in dragons dogma 2. Pawns are fine, but just imagine all the craziness and all the memes you could pull off in a coop session. It would be the easiest goty contender
Funny that you would believe Blizzard saying how their new survival game was really good and ahead of schedule... Didn't they say that Diablo IV was amazing, and they were turning up and innovating the Diablo franchise so much everyone will love it??? Just cause Blizzard says so doesn't mean it is true. Microsoft probably looked at it and said this is crap and cut it. Just my hunch have no proof.
Princess Connect anime is great. It's really great IP. Too bad CR fails so hard and were the ones in control of it in the west for the gacha game. It's dead now cause of them. Crunchyroll is terrible. Dragalia Lost is an amazing IP too, too bad they killed the gacha game. CyGames definitely makes a great stuff. Why I'm REALLY glad they are stepping away from Gacha gaming. That being said, bleh Uma Musume... it's so dumb lol. Not for me. Bahamut and Leviathan and such are from the Bible, Rui :P

Bahamut is indeed in DnD, the lawful patron god of metallic dragons. Antithesis to Tiamat, the chaotic evil goddess to chromatic dragons.
Ruri, Bahamut comes for Arabic Mythology. It dates all the way back to 1200 AD.

It took me over one hour the first time I did that quest where you have to run into that courier that tells you where to go next, because I had no idea where that guy was actually running around and I was so incredibly frustrated at that time because the game was wasting my time.
Gonna have to agree with Gavjin, your criticism of baldurs gate seems pretty odd
About stats - we don't know yet, maybe they found a hybrid method that will work best. Another thought I had, they may give you options later down the line to respec OR other thing entirely that will make the experience better. I can only hope they had these same conversations in the team and reached a solution.
Was able to get a pic with soken and foxclon in london and primals was the absolute Highlight as well
Lmao I love this intro
I get exactly what you are saying rurikhan about baldurs gate 3s story.
The game clearly railroads you into in same way shape or form associating with mind flayers. There should def be a route against the emperor immediatly..
Theres also very little story pay off for going no illithid powers the game clearly wants you to go illithid powers.
Happy New Year fellas! I loved this episode, but I wish you could at least talk about MH a LITTLE bit when you have a Third Fleet Podcast episode.
9 playthrough of bg3 holy molly!! I'm not even act 2 of my 2nd haha!
Main thing for DD2 I was hoping for was the Multiplayer...... Dragon's Dogma Online showed how much fun it could be .....but I will still enjoy the game
The opening is false. Rui has 100 charisma. 😂
Less than 2 Months. Wonder if I get MHW done till than. Had to start over after I lost all my saves. 600+h gone. 😅 But it’s a good way to learn a new weapon.
I'm really sorry to hear that you lost all you're saves. What happened?
@@TheZestyCar well I switched from PS4 to PS5 and transferred all data but somehow my save files didn’t. Also I deleted all stuff off my PS4 and sold it. Shit happens I also was 10 crowns short on platinum on base and Iceborne. But it kinda is ok cause I can experience all the glory again. 🤣
I know that sucks but its pretty fun starting from scratch and working your way through learning a new weapon. I’m doing that with great sword and man its a blast even when i get my ass kicked by some elders lol
Palworld was definately ai generated (google the creature "suzaku" and thats all the proof you need. no human made that abomination.) and the alot of the designs definately where ripped from things like pokemon, digimon, yokai watch, and various animes (grizzbolt is just reskinned totoro.) the grass rabbit is nearly 1 to 1 a grass type cinderace (genuinely think they did use the mesh model for cinderace, its far too similar) the dragonair ripoff has primarinas hair, ect. disappointed because its fun, but I can't really get attached to any of the creatures there because I know they wern't made by a human and it definately does them disservice. in the long run i think it hurts them if they want to further build on their brand, because they're not standing on their own merits and people will get bored of the topics.
also its not very polished i wouldn't say. I've encountered more bugs in palworld than I have ark survival ascended, and thats saying something. when the mysticism wares off, like the exact thing did with ark, people will start raising eyebrows. theres already bugs they said they've fixed but have only made more noticeable (pals clipping through the base barrier, pals idling, pals randomly getting sick, ect)
So Gaijin was the problem. Boi gets addicted haha.
Sorry but talking down to modern developers is exactly what Itsuno should be doing. Dragons Dogma 2 is the first game to respect design philosophy I've been wanting in games for decades. This game is the closest to my ideal that exists right now and its because he has a vision and knows how to design a game around a vision, and not just a vision around an existing template. More developers need to understand what is important in games to the people who truly appreciate them. The ESG garbage and mainstream takes on what games aught to be is killing many of the developers we once loved. Itsuno is barely surviving with DD2 as even it has traces of ESG influence. At least the game looks better than anything we have seen to date. About time a developer understands adventure.
Lets calm the hype abit and wait for the game to come out before we start praising the guy...
@justinp_ The first game is an excellent example of good design philosophy cut short. Given the ideas presented this is a massive move in the right direction in all but gear customization. I am absolutely justified in giving credit to this. He speaks of ideals I've been aware of for decades that games completely lack especially since the mainstream took over. The only thing that will hold this game back is Capcom selling out to DEI for a good ESG score.
@@MatthewManney You'll be justified when the game comes out and everything he's says turns out to be true. So many examples in the past of developers saying all the right things in pre-release interviews and marketing, and it all being nothing but a facade. I enjoyed the first game and I'm looking forward to this, but abit of scepticism doesn't hurt.
@justinp_ I'm already skeptical enough. But I know from the hours of footage I've seen that it will at least respect the design philosophy I speak of to a decent degree at the least.
dude, you play eugen which ignores like 90% of the mechanics of the game, you have no right to complain about diffuculty....play siegfried and say that again lol
Eugen is a beast true. But throughout the campaign I barely played him. And all my friends playing the game (not with Eugen) agree with me, it takes too long to get challenging.
Eh I don't think the Blizzard game was cancelled just because of the tax write off, it feels more like the result of the lesson they learned with Redfall. I wouldn't put much stock into Blizzard devs saying it was really good either, they said the same things about Diablo IV and we all know how that turned out.
aw so no yandere system with the npc ai? ign framed by omission in the subtitles that they'd get into fight over you having like an innocent play date. nothing specifying romance and setting it up as just your friends getting into a death match over you even if they weren't enemies before this. i made fun of this statement by saying some players would go through the game seeing just how many people they could get to kill each other with a system like this. oh well, i bet there's a lot of other wacky stuff in the game that makes it still feel like the devs went all old school table top insanity with it "that idea is insane but you made the dm Itsuno laugh so we have to put it in the game now."
good to know ign was going full rage bait for clicks, maybe warrior's buffs won't be a complete disaster.
as long as it won't frequently auto saves you in a game breaking glitch so i have to restart the entire playthrough it's fine. if it does, that's shitty. i get it, if they want the server to be lighter so fewer pawns with only 1 per copy of the game, most of the time but work arounds exist, at 1 time but just don't have it in a way where 1 bug kills a full playthrough like gaijin's honor mode story or it saving in a state where a bug locked something you need to progress. if it's about the choices, don't worry, new game plus will exist. i highly doubt we won't have new game plus this time. yes Ruri, if quest will vanish, tell us what quest are like than and at least warn us so we can back out of the trigger that locks them so we can finish them first. wasn't just in game time, quests like that existed but most of this was if your progress to far in the main story you lose side quests.
warfarer has the potential to be op, the idea of only having 4 skills on the others but warfarer gets 12 is nuts. if they somehow make the stat drop matter i'll just laugh and make the utimate support where i rarely attack so those stats of nerfed damage won't matter because i contribute in other ways. i mean their balancing always has issues so whatever, unintended things will be op. my idea was sorcerer, magic archer and trickster if things are balanced well so i'm not doing a wacky work around.
gaijin loves arching, who's his enemy? he better get approved by the gild of calamitous Intent lol.
I feel like, for better or worse, the edginess Gaijin notices in English articles is a result of the fandom surrounding the "realistic action RPG" games like Souls, Elden Ring, Monster Hunter, and Dogma. The whole snark, purposeful inconvenience etc. are all the talking points we hear within "our" community, including Ruri. In that sense, you could say IGN writers are kinda writing to the market they think the game caters to - edgelord gamers who want DiFfIcULt GaMEz. Blaming the game journos only seems a bit dishonest tbh, it's standard demand-supply.
I say this, because sometimes the extent of edginess these circles have annoys me. I previously translated Itsuno's "Dragon's Dogma 2 as Isekai reincarnation simulator" he mentioned in an IGN interview as a joke, and I got SO MUCH semi-pushbacks of what that means etc. The vibe I got was not dissimilar from people who complain how Monster Hunter Rise was "so anime" and all that - their edgy sensibilities can't take the seemingly less serious connotations these words have.
Sorry, rant over.
i would like to make this known to people
In dragons dogma, stats do not matter
Your weapons and armour are ur beef cakes
Tell that to the insanely spongey enemies in BBI. Without Priapts or bomb arrows, it's miserable.
@@MisterPotats what u mean... the weapons u get from the dragon can carry u thru BBI
anyone who says this has never leveled as a warrior then swapped to sorc.
Inside the prizm the absolute has no power.There you go that is the explanation.You will thank me later.
Then why is he able to instantly transform you if you kill the emperor at the end of act 2?
For all the discussion of mistranslation which I agree is rant worthy…it has been for a while now X/posts and not Twitter/tweets.
Classic baldo with his boomer attitude classic xffing
I think its a huge missed opportunity to not have multiplayer in dragons dogma 2. Pawns are fine, but just imagine all the craziness and all the memes you could pull off in a coop session. It would be the easiest goty contender
Let’s go!!!!!!
jesus christ god forbid gaijins daughter finds a boyfriend in the future, who knows what he will do. this obsession is not healthy anymore.
Hopefully DD2 is better than the first. Did not enjoy it at all.
Funny that you would believe Blizzard saying how their new survival game was really good and ahead of schedule... Didn't they say that Diablo IV was amazing, and they were turning up and innovating the Diablo franchise so much everyone will love it??? Just cause Blizzard says so doesn't mean it is true. Microsoft probably looked at it and said this is crap and cut it. Just my hunch have no proof.
Princess Connect anime is great. It's really great IP. Too bad CR fails so hard and were the ones in control of it in the west for the gacha game. It's dead now cause of them. Crunchyroll is terrible.
Dragalia Lost is an amazing IP too, too bad they killed the gacha game.
CyGames definitely makes a great stuff. Why I'm REALLY glad they are stepping away from Gacha gaming.
That being said, bleh Uma Musume... it's so dumb lol. Not for me.
Bahamut and Leviathan and such are from the Bible, Rui :P
Xbox is bad for the gaming community, change my mind
