Have they even added anything for PvE in Legends in years? I was under the impression the single player stuff was long since dead in the water, they haven't even bothered populating the rewards for a big chunk of the monthly quests for god knows how long, they are literally empty, and they haven't finished a single character campaign since it launched.

Rinkles posted:Did it never take off? no, sadly; even on launch, it had middling twitch numbers that fell off a cliff into irrelevance, and all the tournaments i'd see pop up in my youtube feed generally had <100 viewers i've been told secondhand that it was a fairly well-designed card game with a remarkably fair MTX model, but it was diving into an oversaturated market where sunk costs are high, so i'm not surprised it withered on the vine

re:runeterra the pvp never took off, the pve was the thing that kept drawing peoples attention and was the only reason I ever cared about the game much, and it was a similar story for a lot of other people I knew who tried it. so it was kind baffling when they announced "we can't figure out how to monetize this, so we're ending development to focus on pvp!" last year. better to have a game you can't figure out how to monetize yet than a game that nobody plays, imo! I guess they've realized this too.

I downloaded hearthstone a couple weeks ago on a whim and its crazy how many abandoned modes are in there that came and went until they stumbled into battlegrounds' popularity. rear end card game that they desperately tried to spin off into something else for years vs incredibly good card game that also very quickly zeroed in on a fun single player mode. too bad they cant win for losing

homeless snail posted:runeterra? it has a huge elaborate roguelike deckbuilder mode thats far and away the most popular thing about that game for awhile now. Yeah, I knew that - but it's also cobbled together of a bunch of half finished bits and pieces and "Coming Soon" screens, and it's been like that since it released so I'd just assumed they'd abandoned the single player to focus on the multiplayer a long time ago. The only new thing they actually added I can remember was a mode that randomly combined the half-finished stuff into "new missions". I love the game, but the fact they never managed to finish even a single character's campaign was incredibly disappointing.

i assume PoC got a big ol' bump post-arcane when people were searching for non-PVP league content, and that got them to dump more money into it after it had some success

I thought those smaller Riot Forge games were pretty good. And it was nice seeing smaller teams get a chance with a bigger IP. But, they didn't make ALL the money so of course they gotta go.

But, they didn't make ALL the money so of course they gotta go. i'm not entirely sure what the structure was like, but after giving it some thought and reading other comments, i think it's likely that riot was giving them the funding and helping to provide its VA talent at bare minimum, so it was less a case of old WotC-esque "just check in with us if you've got any story/art questions" brand management and more a "make a game for us in your bespoke style" thing, and that doesn't seem to be financially feasible in the given climate definitely a big loss for me though, since i thought everything they put out under the label was of excellent quality. they've still got that bandle city stardewalike that's coming out pretty soon, so at least they get a nice sendoff

you can't always judge a book by its cover, like i was completely convinced last year that lies of P would be an epic stinker after the "all puppets are bastards" thing but it turned out to be one of the year's best games and one of the best iterations of its genre

I miss fantasy novels having poorly drawn scenes from the novels, or random scenes entirely invented by the illustrator out of lack of interest. There's a lot of either Ai art or just fancy design work now that makes everything look the same.

It does make it feel like a CYOA book though.

I haven't played enough to know if there are 'secrets everywhere' but the world looks good to me, very pretty and varied. If you pop into the dedicated thread there'll be people who are further along who can tell you more.
