I always felt like CoM was just them throwing a bone to nintendies who wanted to play KH1 but it had some exclusivity deal with Sony. So Square makes a game where you go through all the KH1 worlds in a simulation and it all conveniently gets forgotten about at the end.

Agreed.
I was under the impression the gameboy advance game was just a retelling of KH1 but as a handheld + card mechanic.

So I skipped it

KH2 makes no fucking sense. Turns out there was an actual original game inbetween you should have played to get what was happening.


There was a trend in the early aughts about having to consume an outside media to get the full story. Halo 2 did that with some stupid internet radio story you needed to listen to to find out how the covenant found earth. The matrix movies did that with the official game. It was so fucking dumb.

I don't care what the credits say, this game was written by 10 people in separate rooms that never talked to each other and some poor bastard had to try and connect everything together.

It feels pretty common for these sorts of scenes to be oddly antagonistic. A lot of the time it's another character earnestly trying to understand or at least apologize for something just so they can snub them for it or say it's not good enough. Like bigot sandwiches.

To me it's that one. Many other things from other games were genuine mistakes or results differing from what it was on paper or greed or malice or devs being dumb or all of that at once in some proportions. But civs changing with era even on paper sounds like a very niche, optional challenge mode. I fail to understand what were they thinking by making it a core mechanic.

It wasn't actually scrapped but got turned into a phone app instead where you have to buy the games they promised.
Thing is, you need at least two phones - one for the game and one for the controller, with every additional player needing yet another phone.

EDF: Iron Rain. The NPC soldiers are broken and only shoot in the direction they are facing, not necessarily where the enemy is. They wanted to make the game even more character-based than other EDF games, but playing co-op removes those characters completely from the stages. They are just voices in the background. The weapon grinding is fucking ridiculous with how expensive it is, and a bunch of those expensive weapons are not even that good in comparison to some other cheaper guns you unlock way earlier in the game. The enemies look good, but the price for that is that there are a lot less enemies in the map at the same time unlike the other EDF games where there is a literal horde against you with almost every stage.

The only good thing in that game was the VA for the crazy German doctor.

6. All the weird Xbox naming shit. I still don't remember which one's the new ones and which is the old ones.
7. Concord. All of it.
8. Apple Vision Pro being so proprietary and shit that nobody can use it for anything because it doesn't have controllers and can't play "real" VR games outside of a few ports.

First game's a pretty cool take on the whole "Pokemon-ish" vibe, and the game feels like a huge love letter to Ghibli, with cool cutscenes and a legit Ghibli vibe to everything.
Second game felt like they got about halfway through making the game, then were told the entire dev studio's going to get butt fucked if they don't get the game out in a month, so they padded everything out with low-effort minigames and shit, then ran out of time to do much of anything else.

For me it will always be pic related. I played the shit out of the first game and was ecstatic about the second game. I bought it at release and discovered they removed base building completely and tried to add MOBA elements since League of Legends and DOTA 2 were becoming more popular which killed any interest at the time. I still don't understand how it got great scores.

I think that the fact that it sold well is the reason we got even more MOBA garbage in DOW 3 which killed the franchise.

People like to point to Baldur's Gate 3 but there's more to that game than just the pandering. Shit like Saints Row, Concord, Dustborn and other recent progressive flops don't have anything going for them *but* pandering and at that point even the most hardcore Bsky addict isn't interested. They're making games for an audience that only plays the most recent well marketed slop, and it's not even a huge audience.
