    My fave studio, Tri-Ace, became a husk when a mobile company bought them. They went from delivering the most in depth RPGs to who-ring out their characters in souless gachas. I was on denial for a while but the Valkyrie Profile rebirth was the nail on the coffin.

      suits having the ability to demand that the entire campaign be redone in mere months before launch, on-disc DLC, etc. etc. It's amazing how much insanity the playerbase tolerated.

    The idea of Bungie being gone is just so unnerving to me. They were the guys who made Halo great and even if I wasn't a big Xbox guy, I respected what they made and the thought of them being gone forever will always hurt a little.

      They also sunsetted items in d2. They suck. Indie is the way. AAA is dead.

    We told them over and over and over and all they did was listen to content creators like Datto that praised every awful idea ever like Eververse, DCV, sunsetting and butcher this game to appease shareholders. I didn’t even buy final shape. I quit during lightfall when the servers were down every single week multiple times a week. I lost all of my armour because of the DDOS. Uninstalled and haven’t been back.

    btw there's something really awsome about the way you designed the visuals on your channel. The branding is 🔥 the whole setup and fonts, color palettes, background videos etc.

    I remember when Bungie was a Mac games studio and presenting Halo for the first time at MacWorld, 2 weeks before Microsoft bought the studio for Xbox launch title.

    This is what happens when devs are basically chained to the needs of execs, shareholders, and power tripping publishers. End the stock market, it’s the only way to stop this behavior.

    • @xXx_Regulus_xXx
      @xXx_Regulus_xXx 3 місяці тому +1

      "end the stock market" lol good luck with that one. you could always look for companies that are privately owned and give their games a shot, or try well-reviewed indie games.

    • @armyofninjas9055
      @armyofninjas9055 3 місяці тому +1

      Go indie. Haven't bought a "AAA" game in over 5 yrs. And I haven't missed anything good.

    • @maxmikester8185

      @@xXx_Regulus_xXx Good luck with that. Corporations will simply buy these studios when all of their other stuff flops, and the cycle will continue eternally, rendering your point as a band aid on a larger wound. Kerbal Space Program and Cities Skylines are perfect examples of this, bought off and reduced to be leeched by execs in their disastrous sequels.

    Any game that has an unhappy player base will always end in the shitter. Helldivers is on that road too.
    Funny enough the thing that made me not like destiny 2 was the player base. Raids took hours even when playing with the unemployed. Even if you knew what to do the player base would simply make it unbearable. Makes me happy to see d2 fall, it brings peace to my wasted hours.

    i get you're showing respect to what was once a great dev company who made legendary games, but new-Bungie is not that company anymore. None of those people are still there. They really don't deserve such respect anymore.
    just my 2 cents at least. cool style your vids have, keep it up brother

    Bungie makes Halo, where a tough guy and his AI companion do heroic things and saves the universe. Then they make Destiny, where a tough guy and his AI companion do heroic things.....to save......wait a minute......

    That's why I never bought The Final Shart, I could see what was going to happen, so far I've played 1100 hours for $70 (Not USD) so to me that's a decent amount of play time to cost ratio. The whole game is a FOMO Macro time gated hellscape, I only played because friends played and the mechanics were cool but now I'm just burned out from the repeat grinding of the same crapola over and over. They made TFS significantly worse.. Its crunch time for me, I've played everything that the DLC's I own offer so its either buy the Final Shart or stop playing, I choose to stop playing.
    Looking at it objectively after 1100 hours of game time, there really isn't much of a game there.. Its reused recycled assets with a forced repeat game loop, I give a game a good chance but D2 had me scratching my head wondering what all the hype is about? Mechanics are awesome space magico go brrrr awesome, tedious repeat grind, FOMO, time gating not so awesome. Its basically a macro store with what resembles a game tacked on.
    But its all been said a million times at this point but I will say one thing I do feel better when not playing D2. Great vid mate, its nice to listen to someone with a strong personality great character instead of listening to corpo drone utubers market shite.

      @DEGREELESSNESS  3 місяці тому +2

      thnx g! the way you describe d2 sounds waaaay to much like so many GAAS shit these days, I loved darktide at first but after like 900 hours ended up quitting for many of the same reasons you cite here...such a bummer

      Yeah, it happens to me a lot these days. If I make multiple comments in a short time span on the same video the auto mod wrongly flags it as spam and starts randomly deleting my commentary. No warning, no nothing, the comment is just gone. And there's no rhyme or reason as to WHY a comment gets hit either. Super frustrating.

    The other day I was thinking about how much it bums me out that the Dev team that created such fun games to mess around with like launching yourself from the top of a warthog with a grenade to toss your character to the top of a cliff by manipulating the physics effects in Halo ce.. Now this Dev team has only been focusing on a game called Destiny for years now.. We hoped we could see more deep dives into pure creativity like they've proven they are capable of YET we saw nothing from them.. It's not just them tho. It's video games across the board. Where we have been losing entire game genres all across the video game industry.. It's really sad how things now are when you consider what the gaming landscape looked like during the PS3/360 era and the OG Xbox/PS2 era. No joke gaming was overflowing with a wide array of different game genres. Our current hardware such as the PS5 is a very capable console with plenty of capabilities to it. It's just we need the gaming industry to actually wake back up and start producing a bunch of different games again. I don't think I've ever seen video games so rarely get released? I really hope we see the game industry get reborn and start pumping out a wide range of game types. We can only Hope right?

    My theory was that they were going to wind down Destiny Two and then have Destiny 3 be a playstation exclusive. Obviously that's wrong but I don't know why. Plenty of people are still playing the game and spending money.
