How the mighty have fallen

What's shocking is that there are still almost 10 people playing this garbage. Maybe it's the devs?

They should followed Honkai Impact 3 model and have more cute anime girl aesthetic than what ever the fuck this was supposed to be

if you ignore how platinum makes no money at all from micro transactions and all other fuckery that babylon's launched with you could just blame Platinum and keep sucking off squenix micro jap dick

>They've utterly ruined their reputation, what little of it was left
They've had FAR more misses than hits, I have no idea why they're held in such high regard. Like it's completely baffling to me. They are the definition of a sub-par developer.

Literally the first time I've heard of this game. That may have something to do with it.

>I have no idea why they're held in such high regard
the masked man

>four retail games in March for some reason
>most profitable one is Triangle Strategy, which appeals to classic Squaresoft and was likely cheaper
>Square Enix will continue to invest everything into big budget gambles
Forspoken is going to have a lot to prove in terms of sales. Hell, even FFXVI may struggle if Square Enix didn't learn enough from XV.

The only good thing they've done in ages is FF14

Look at them trying to shift the blame from Platinum to sqeenix
Lost Babylon is just a warning to not have high hopes for Bayo3

They better figure out how to make it not shit fast.
I wonder who was the genius who said to copy a F2P mobile game monetization system but still charge 60$ for the fucking game.
That decision has got to havs been squareenix theyve been overly Jewish on all their fucking games.

according to Yea Forums it's all Platinum setting the price of the game and forcing micro transactions even though they make no money from those

Platinum will never make a good game again after bayo 3 and even that game isn’t a guarantee

Every single GaS release for them has failed every single one.

A SMRPG remake or proper sequel would give them back the soul they're missing.

don't care
didn't ask
and you're probably a nigger
Platnium is a bad dev, always have been always will be.
Blaming them for a game that launched full price despite having less content than a f2p game and being filled with micro-transactions is retarded.
This type of shit is always the publisher fault and there are several examples of Squenix being greedy cunts in order games too.

The job of the publisher, in this case Square, is to market and pay people to shill the game. And it's fair to say that they didn't do that. I have Square and Platinum titles in my library and I haven't seen shit about this game in my recommends. I would have no clue it even existed if it were not for Yea Forums.

D4 got practically no marketing. We didn't even know it was coming out until the day it came out. That is on Microsoft, the publisher, not on it being a shit game. There are times when it's correct to shit on the developer, which is most of the time. Bloodlines is a dumpster fire because of decisions made by the developer. But there are times when it's pretty fucking clear it's all on the publisher for pulling too hard on the leash of the developer as is the case here with Babylon. Despite the fact it is Larian making BG3, it's pretty fucking obvious Hasbro is forcing them to do some pretty retarded shit such as forcing the d20 system when Larian made their bank by subverting those shit RNG systems of old CRPGs.

platinum last good game was MGR, change my mind

Can even Free to play save it?

You mean DS port and the port was great.

Would that have saved Anthem?

Even Microsoft will pass on them in their current state
Nobody will save them now

Literally didn't even know it was coming out until I read stories about how bad it was flopping. Also, apparently it's a full price game with the MTX of a f2p game so I don't want to support that practice.

Theyre not blameless. This game has the shittest platinum game combat. Even if you overlook the Jewish shit (probably pushed by squareenix) this games combat is fucking terrible and not like a platinum game at all. It's so fucking stiff to move and fight in this game and the camera is legit shit. Even if this game went F2P i would hardly recommend it to anyone, to think they would even charge full price is criminal.
I was platinum fanboy back then but after 2016 and the scalebound cancellation they gone more and more to shit and this game is a nail in the coffin. It's really shocking they published it as is.

no and people need to stop thinking that f2p is the ultimate solution for shit games

Nope. EA considered it and came up with that conclusion. Hope Square and Platinum wake up to these failed live service ambitions.

Are you ready to apologize to Randy Bobandy, Yea Forums?

And they get no players to buy it because they don't know if they will immediately drop all support.

Squeenix has always been horribly run, even when it was called Square

definitely not the ultimate solution but a last ditch effort for little development time. I don't know if that's ever really worked. Can't think of a success story.

FUCK OFF RANDY

>Theyre not blameless.
Don't think I ever said or even implied that in any way shape or form

could you translate your post to english?
google translate didn't help

Cease your senseless ambitions.

they probably tried but even timmy didn't want this one

> They've utterly ruined their reputation, what little of it was left.
Some of the CBUs are still held in high regard, the FF14 team for example

>59.99 for a low budget project
>99.99 deluxe edition
how delusional must square be to think they'd be successful with this garbage?

Babylon's Fall being terrible doesn't make Godfall better in way except in comparison to

Oh, I forgot
>89.99 microtransactions up the ass

What's it like to work on a game like this that flops so disgracefully.
Must feel pretty shitty desu

>Hope Square and Platinum wake up to these failed live service ambitions
Who cares about live service anymore?
Hey Devs! How is that NFT game coming along?

>The metaverse was a hot topic in 2021
These people live in a different universe.
Squenix board and CEO is somehow trapped in an anomaly where they live their lives in one universe but publish their game in a different one.

The most recent released games I've bought from Square are: Nier: Automata, FFTA2, and FF9. The company has been shit for decades just fucking coasting off FF7 and anything associated with FF7. With the exception of Dragon Quest, which is a series I'm not certain is good or bad, it's actually Blizzard in its utter lack of comprehension of what quality is. And no, quality is not what retards will buy out of comfort and loyalty.

Shareholders don't play games but they are the key influencers in the development of them.
Babylon's Fall is the perfect example of a video game built 100% for shareholders.

Prediction: Forspoken will not meet Square Enix's sales expectations

I think the FF14 team is the only team that isnt utter shit at square enix. Their fanbase at least seems to like them and their shit actually keeps the company a float ( only for squareenix to take their profit and burn it with their endless pile of failures)

It's a western game so of course it won't. I can't think of the last one they were happy about.

I just puked in my mouth a little.

jesus, even on "sale" is more expensive that fucking elden ring in my country.

what the fuck happened this looks really fun

Making a successful MMO that brings on a ton of money is curse.
It killed blizzard and now it will finish off Squenix

It’s on sale on PlayStation store.

Honestly I would have bought it if it didn’t require a fucking square Enix account sign in.

The most based part about all squenix games is they are making third worlders pay MORE for their games than whites do.
Almost want to support them for that alone

Bayonetta and MGR are two of the best games ever made. Automata is very liked as well, even if I didn't care much about it

That wouldnt really be a shock. I almost expect it. I can FEEL the underwhelming and dissapointing open world and terrible story.

Should have doubled down on avengers.

At least the combat is fun in that game. I guess.

post your top 5 GOAT

It's the opposite you retard. They've released maybe 3 bad games out of around 10

How many "didn't meet company expectations" in a row can they handle?

MGR is a fucking insult to the metal gear series and I'm tired of faggots like you shilling it because le epic memes

>the FF14 team for example
Held in high regard by shareholders, maybe.
>make a visual novel MMO
>make it so safe and sterile it's guaranteed not to lose money (this time)
>pump it up with a huge cash shop
>release less and less content over time
>makes mad stacks that all get invested in different projects instead
Though I imagine the person you're responding to meant Platinum, not Squeenix. SE completely lost me after they decided to fuck Deus Ex, pump out a ton of cash grab mobile games and shit out XV. There's nothing redeemable left in that company.

Platinum is only good when the good freelancers(including directors) are in.They are shovelware developers otherwise.

Call of Duty MW, BLOPS, MW2, BLOPS2 and AW

Has nothing to do with whether the game is good or not.
It's whether it's successful.

You really seethe anytime you hear about XIV don't you?

You may want to see a therapist about that.

Based

Not him, but Bayonetta and MGR hit the button on "feels epic" so hard the flaws didn't matter. I cannot name games that made you feel more godly than those games. They are the high watermark of what outrageous fictional power in video games feels like.

Bitch strapped rocket launchers to her heels.

I have a gut feeling that they had to rebuild the game in a year under instructions from squareenix.
Maybe because they had trouble implementing the monetization system and maybe higher ups gave the command to simplify the combat to appeal to casuals more.
Thats just a guess but it would explain why everything is so simple,slow and shitty compared to the more complex and fast looking 2019 trailer.

You are one dumb faggot. Both those replies were to someone stating they were sub-par developer. No one mentioned sales.

I still like Platinum even though they've been having a really rough time of it, but I couldn't be bothered with this shit after it was dredged through the microtransaction/GaaS cesspool.

the Metal Gear series sucks eggs and it should be thankful to have at least one good game with it's name on it

>PS5 exclusive
>nigger protag
kek it's a day 1 flop guaranteed

Why yes, I will seethe that a game I liked keeps getting sterilized more and more until there's nothing that keeps me around to play it. Cope with the fact there are people not brainwashed into playing that garbage anymore after they continue to make it worse.

wowtranny cope

Developers are fucking out of touch that’s what happened

My guess is that Platinum is losing a ton of key talent and because they use in house engines the new hires can't figure it out. This is partially why Square Enix has been moving away from engines themselves and just licensing Unreal instead.

poor advertising apparently i had no idea this game was even being made let alone released

Should've made another Nier instead.
