Branding very big in video games! This game getting lots of buzz because it is has the brand. With no brand, no buzz.

Hi I haven't played the old valkyria games and don't care about them at all. the new one is completely miserable. It's 75% cutscenes in which characters stand stock still and talk at one another because they couldn't afford animations, and 25% repeating the same braindead maps and boss fights over and over. Buy the soundtrack instead of the game

It does a lot of the anime thing where characters face away from the camera to talk because they couldn't afford mouth flaps

Scientists estimate that by 2028 we will have enough brands available for licensing that no one will ever have to make a new IP again.

If you're gonna be as cheap as the new Valkyria is why not just go Skies of Arcadia style and forgo lip flaps entirely in favor of a bunch of expressive flat hand-drawn faces? That's literally the entire reason the anime style even exists in the first place, take advantage of it!corn in the bible posted:that already exists and it's how they made the mouth flaps for mass effect andromeda, so Variations on that tech have been a thing for a long time: Fallout 3, OG Mass Effect, KotOR, Morrowind...I'm pretty sure even Deus Ex used it despite the mouth flaps being so primitive that it was just three or four key frames with no tweening.

Like, there are definitely arguments to be made about certain material and if someone is being creepy about something, I call them out on that poo poo, but I think just trying to cast a wide net and go "all of this stuff is troublesome and for pedophiles" is dumb as hell so I appreciate that you're curbing that.

Yeah I can't remember what person it was on Deus Ex (probably just Warren Spector) but I remember them being super proud of that tech even though it looks kinda silly now.

Sure, they want everyone to go into a game fresh, but if a game is very good, why not send it out for review?

Yeah $15 is ludicrous. I understand that they have shut down content production on the game and only made a new class for money, but one class shouldn't cost even $10.
