    I don't want to be known as "the guy who hates Granblue", BUT...

    - there's a very high amount of DLC relative to the base roster
    - the online is absolute doo-doo

    Even without whatever drama is happening there now, those 2 things alone are reason enough for the game to die.

    I wouldnt put the cool down mechanic in that kind of category since it is there to replace the drawback of needing meter to do ex moves.

    Double post, sorry. 
     
    apparently Square is in talks with Ubisoft to sell them Crystal Dynamics and other western studios they own that helped in Marvel’s Avengers as a way to distance themselves from how big of a failure and embarrassment Marvel’s Avengers has been for Square.
     
    It’s also a way for Square to recoup some of the massive losses they took because of Avengers

    You know, it would be glorious if Capcom and ASW teamed up again to release a new DS.

    By this point many game are only know by the memes surrounding them perpetuated by both the players and detractors of each series.
    I kind of chuckled when he said that DS is easy to get into or that is "Balanced"
    Like, is true, is not hard like lets say Tekken if you want to be competitively effective, and is not mvc2 levels of unbalanced, but you have to be aware of a lot of stuff and the game has a good chunck of matchups that you will simly eat dirt a good chunck of the time, lol

    Also, a new DS has the bennefit that is a series that capcom fully owns, so that clears the extra hurdle of dealing with an external company for any decision making on who to add, how to monetize and share revenue.
     
    I know people love mvc, but is clear that between 3 and infinite, Disney has become a pain in the ass to deal with, not to mention, the marvel brand is expensive now.
    Capcom is way better doing their own thing, like a new DS, or a brand new vs style game focused on their own ips.
     
    They are Disney levels of drowning on decades of ips and chars that could easily be part of the cast that will allow for a variety of gameplay.
     
     
    Edit
     
    And yes, a lot of ASW heads play DS since they consider it the grandaddy of the airdasher formula.

    That's the point. The theatrical release wasn't his movie. They reshot most of it. IIRC 20% of theatrical cut was Snyder's footage. He's going back, taking his unused footage, and AFAIK an additional $80 million  dollars to make the movie he would have before WB butted in, then ultimately used his daughter's suicide as a chance to replace him. I mean in Snyder's version of the movie Cyborg was the lead character he was the "audience" you saw things through his eyes. He was tertiary character in Whedon's film.
     
    Edit: Edited for clarification.

    You see the thing is...
     
    I am trying to figure out what this actually serves. 
    Because, almost every project in the entertainment industry that had a woke narrative or a faux-activism agenda did not make any sales or produce any *real* popularity aside from a bunch of tumblrettes and twitter twatters on social media. 
    But, many of these types of people that *slipped* into the industry (often as charity cases) still insist of pushing this approach. 
    For example, there is a new Cowboy Bepop adaptation on Netflix. Obviously, Netflix is going to butcher the source material (in fact, you have to question if they even read the source material at all). They are changing the context of a specific character who was subject to a accident that lead to horrible genetic changes to his own body, causing him to have anatomy similar to that of a woman. However, Netflix is altering the context behind this in order to show a binary character instead. Insult to injury, nothing about the plot or cast looks promising in the slightest. All of this was to be an expectation at this point. 
     
    Even while people are actively calling out Netflix for butchering the source material of anime (and, by extension, games), the staff *still* insist on going on along with this project. 
     
    Capcom taking this kind of approach with Cammy alongside the Blair costume is jarring. It is a Japanese company. It is not like the HQ switched over to the Western side like how Sony did with their organization. 

    To matters even worse is the fact that Cammy's Blair costume is "censored..." 
     
    While... the following elements
    On a smaller note, the very reason I continue using these AV is to trigger these... virtue signaling types.

    Is kind of idiotic how capcom censored the costume when Cammy is usually showing way more skin.
    Like common capcom, wtf?
     
    It kind of gives credence to the leak, that they will start going the go woke go broke route.

    I still laugh when people say that DS3 is balanced then try to explain how Lilith having a lot of 9:1 matches against her doesnt really matter because one dude won a tournanemtn with her some years ago...
    ... And people say that with a straight face, lol.
     
    I put it on the same category of GG is super hard to learn.

    🤔
     
    GG is definitely tricky to learn. Xrd is infinitely easier to get started on that +R. But a lot of that is execution wise. If you're a total beginner, it can be on the rough side. If you've been around for a bit, you're memeing.
     
    Although new players still learn how to play it. So the idea that something being hard somehow makes it insurmountable needs to stop in this scene. Kinda like the same issue with Tekken being this so hard game to play. Like if DS3 is easy to pick up, then I don't know what that guy would say about Tekken.
     
    Maybe eventually we'll convince @misterBee to let us write our own community articles so we can throw bricks at those bad ideas.

    That they are. The other one drowning in IPs is SquareEnix. I remember having a goofy "what if" convo on which game studio we'd buy. I picked SquareEnix because holy nuts, the amount of their library they don't touch is long as hell.
