Square Enix Announces Declining Financial Results; Planning Multiple New Games Including New IP

So… play to nostalgia and do the thing gamers consistently scream they hate by making more remakes? These companies can’t win with the gaming community at large.

They make a new IP give it love and market it. Y’all dismantle it and don’t support it. They revive a dead series and try to take it into a new direction y’all find whatever little issue you can to dismantle it and don’t support it. They remake/remaster a game everyone wants y’all cry they can’t do anything original and piss on it.

The crazy part is, they are clearly trying but people are never happy. Strangers of paradise was a good fun co-op game from last year. Yeah it was rough around some edges but as a game it had what was important FUN gameplay.

Valkyrie Elysium was a fun game bigger with a little to much nothing going on. Still a fun game, I hadn’t played star ocean yet so no opinion. Forspoken was a crazy fun game with some ambitious tech going on and people over focused on the dialogue.

Funny thing is all these games have weak narrative but great gameplay. Somewhere along the way the community has forgotten how important gameplay really is.

You’d think the cyberpunk debacle would have been the standard for bad AAA game as well as Halo Infinite in not holding up to their potential. But somehow people have been turning on square Enix like they are EA, and now I’m seeing EA becoming a good guy in some peoples eyes.

Crazy how quick everyone forgets
