Genshin came out during the start of COVID during the longest quarantine periods and iirc it was the only "big" open-world rpg releasing at the time, so that did help a lot but as @Camel with 2 thumbs says this is going to be the hottest thing on the market for a while until the new thing comes...

As for their looks, it seems that these Chinese game companies make anime-like games look relatively similar, since games like NIKKE and Granblue look vastly different. Mihoyo ended up becoming big after Genshin, they weren't making millions of dollars prior to it. The prior game to it Honkai...

Genshin got compared a lot to Breath of the Wild prior to its release but what it ended up being is basically the open-world (a)rpg's Nioh, yeah, its obvious that some things are taken 1x1 from BoTW but it has enough new stuff to it that makes it feel different, like combat is faster and more...

A lot of fighting games were lacking in content due to the main focus being on e-sports and little on the casual fanbases and while there were games like the Blazblues and Guilty Gears that had that as well as SCVI (while it might feel slightly less compared to SCII-IV at least it had something...

The competitive scene is the one who we can thank for when it comes to receiving the CE edition (a.k.a S4) of SFV, imo only after that did the game become good and they were the ones who kept the game alive up until then. With SFIV it was different since the game was good for the majority of its...

However, it is undeniable that the quality of these games is getting bigger and better these days given that the market is also getting bigger and better with time.

Mobile/gacha games usually start off pretty mediocre until the developer team finds their footing and has a clear vision on what they want to achieve with the game both in terms of its gameplay and when it comes to the overall package, either that or they end up closing down the more...

This is why a good strategy can be to wait to see what content they'll be putting in a SP and just buying the stuff that gives the most bang for your buck, while potentially catching a 20-30% sale on the base game as well if you're lucky enough.

The situation was always interesting with the vanilla and the 4-II version of the game, with this we have a definitive edition of SW4 that you can buy especially during bigger sales like Steam's Summer or Winter sale, making this move a big KT W.

Shocking how good these gacha game companies are at making their gacha game and also full games/console games very great (for those that might not know, Shift Up is the developer of NIKKE). Companies like them and CyGames reinvesting the money earned from their gacha games into making good and...

The only exception for me would be if I want to steal tech from players or if I want to learn a character that I can't really get a grasp on without checking on how top players are using them.

Tekken's has been attracting the most casuals out of all fg's for a very long time now and it takes them only one decision to take a fighting game a bit more seriously than before, like how I did with Super Street Fighter 4 back then. It also helps that yes, while on a top level the offense that...

The most I'd be thinking about from this post is that they'd announce a guest character in T8 but iirc it was announced before the game's launch that this Season Pass won't have guest characters so yeah, they just there for a good time and to see what's up when it comes to fighting games/fgc.

VF Reveal? Short teaser trailer maybe. Akuma strong? Probably, character's almost always strong/broken in the game that he comes to. DOA Collection? While I'd very much like it, I don't think so, more likely after a new Ninja Gaiden game imo.

If its not something that can be rereleased/ported/remastered relatively quickly like SF2/3/Darkstalkers and such then they probably won't bother with it with the rising costs for game development.

More like "Does it cost too much/takes too much time away from our main project and probably wouldn't net us a lot of new players? No thank you!" The issue is that there's no guarantee that newer players would like to play older entries in the series, especially given how from a competitive...

@HHH816 Heck, he'd be the only playable character in these games if it were not for the Sigma's and RE. It's like how Ryu seems powerful enough to defeat the strongest of fiends but in DOA it is mostly the other ninjas who end up making the final move/decision/action with focus on other...

@HHH816 To be fair though: 1. it is only a 30 second video so not a lot can be included in it. 2. Ryu is the main character of the Ninja Gaiden games, a good 80-85% of the games' story focuses on him and his enemies andd not on the DOA characters.
