The great thing about the Yakuza/LAD games is that they could put almost any kind of mini-game in them and it just works, even if it shouldn't. Like I'm not even sure if this is the weirdest mini-game that has been in one of these.
The announcement was that they cancelled E3 this year and a lot of people speculated it was done for good, this is the first time we got official conformation.
For the most part, I only play a single (sub-)genre and nothing else. The E3 was a nice event to get up to speed on anything else. I don’t care enough to keep up with all these different presentations and announcements if they are not bundled together. I’ll kinda miss it.
They’re still bundled, it’s just fans doing the work to put them all in one place. The spectacle was cool but E3 was always going to die once the internet became widespread.
Let’s take the show halo fans have wanted for decades now, bring in a bunch of people who know nothing about the franchise, forbid them from learning about the franchise, and then we’ll market to people who don’t care about the franchise.
Corpo marketing big brains right there. Halo has one of the largest followings in gaming and still that wasn’t enough. Hell the fans would have encouraged others to watch but nooo had to make it bland and generic for non fans. And they didn’t even do that well!
It’s a lot of things, but what I said there was true. They literally forbade the writers from playing any of the games or reading the books. They wanted to “attract a new audience” and “make something new”. So now instead of the TV show all of us fans wanted we have something with master chief and if you squint your eyes it might look like a halo plotline
That’s… a bold decision. Who pays for the rights to a well-known character/IP with lots of fans and then decides they want to attract a new audience instead? Guessing it was pretty poorly received?
This is actually great content. I don’t come hear to read about which investor group has bought some video game developer, I come here for surprisedly well-researched shitposts like this which make me sensible chuckle.
Good news if you ever spend Thanksgiving in Hyrule, they have actually edible (and mostly harmless) birds, including big juicy Eldin and forest ostriches.
Also, if they’re not extinct and you’re looking for very big game, you could always try loftwing.
