I said come in! posted:Square doesnt really like to take risks anymore, and I don't think they could afford to make another full length film anymore. The financial reports out there paint the company as always seeming like they are one commercial flop away from shutting down.

dungeon encounters was one of my favorite rpgs of, whatever year it came out, and that game is crazily niche for a major publisher like square

Square might not take high budget risks anymore but they still release a lot of weird and interesting low- to mid-budget games, many of which are also very good.

Hey I was playing dungeon encounters while watching spirits within! Released twenty years apart, both boring, though in different ways

Yeah Square has massively stepped up the number of tiny niche releases it puts out lately. Which makes sense - AAA games are ludicrously expensive these days and their latest big budget release was a huge flop.

Well there was the mini-gaas-apocalypse a few weeks ago where several announced shutdown plans within a few days of each other and then the suicide squad delay happened, but things seem to have quieted down again so publishers might be starting to think it's safe again

I guess there are still GaaS games yet to be revealed that started development a few years ago so they may still continue to be released for a bit.

I think videogames have it better because great tools to make projects solo or with small teams to create smaller games. Selling em is another thing and a real visibility problem, but like, I can start making anything from an old school rpg to a modern graphics game surpassing contemporary console power for relatively cheap or free.

I'm looking through videos of old 3D licensed games and bookmarking the ones that are well-reviewed and praised as expanding on the film or TV show's plot with things like extra dialog and sidequests so it feels like more of the movie, e.g. Emperor's New Groove, Toy Story 3, Kung Fu Panda. Something I've noticed about the worst 3D platformers is that they put every scene in a factory, warehouse, or sewer (e.g. Garfield: Saving Arlene, the M&Ms Wii game) as an excuse to render fewer objects

A prescient social commentary on how licensed games often feel factory made, obscuring our true horizon (full communism).

Sour Skittles Race: It's a Paperboy rip-off, except instead of houses, you're throwing sour skittles packages at people just standing there Skittles Pop It:   likewise more of a browser game released for PC for some reason. I don't think there were any Skittles home console games. looks worse than the Garfield game

Found it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darkened_Skye https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/darkened-skye I am intrigued and bookmarked it edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8rN4JGWA4w shows some good clips despite the dumb thumbnail. The game publisher, Simon & Schuster, was paying Mars for their licenses rather than the other way around with the belief it'd boost sales galenanorth fucked around with this message at 00:18 on May 9, 2023 |

I enjoy that I can rely on Square Enix putting out a wide variety of low to mid budget rpgs each year that are good as hell + get zero marketing so nobody knows they exist.

ONE YEAR LATER posted:No, the one based on the taste the rainbow commercials from like 2000, I can't remember what it was called though I had this on gamecube! I remember it being serviceable enough as a game, which was good-for-a-licensed-title. Gameplay was mediocre but a handful of jokes landed. My 20-year-old recollection is that the voice actors were clearly having a good time with it. If memory serves I played for 2 hours, stepped in an inch deep puddle, and died.

It's a perfectly serviceable game that desperately doesn't want to be about Skittles also happens to be about Skittles.

In terms of "Mainstream Candy" Skittles are A tier for sure. Bordering on S tier; comfortable companions to the Twin Bing and the Twix. Purely in terms of Fruity it's only real competition for the top spot are Mamba's and Hi Chew, both of which are too disparate in texture compared to skittles to be directly compared fairly. Butterfinger would be up there in A tier if it didn't get stuck in your teeth, M&M's are fully in trash tier and Skor is S++ Tier. Total Toffee domination.

The truest, greatest candy is the "Lik" part of the Lik a Stik; just the most perfect combination of chalky dustiness and subtle sweetness. I'd loving crush bags of those if they didn't change them to gross sweet powder.

Zokari posted:??? you'd think they'd have mentioned skittles anywhere on the box in that case Executive Producer Dale DeSharone posted:About Darkened Skye (and M&M's) it was another strange 'Publisher Choice'.Simon & Schuster wanted to get the M&M's license from Mars because they believed M&M's would make a great game (because the characters are recognized all over the world). But, at the same time they negotiated to get the Skittles license from Mars (in case they couldn't get M&M's.) Well, Mars gave them BOTH licenses.
