@Runeweaver: The Steam number isn't really important since the Steam version came later and it has full cross play. The majority of PC players are on Battle.net. There have been close to 200,000 players in the past hour.
It's a seasonal game, so of course the numbers are going to fluctuate, but there's no way to look at it and think the game doesn't have a healthy player base. Not the biggest game in the world, but it's doing fine.
@hardwenzen: Gamers just gotta complain. Battle passes aren't a reason to play the game and it's kind of odd that you think that's why people play. They're also better than any of the other systems they've tried to keep live service games going. I've got zero issues giving games I play daily $10 every couple of months. It's a nice extra to have.
@s1taz4a3l: Did you actually play the game? How can you ask what jump scares? Every time they flash an image and loud noise at you is the textbook definition of a jump scare. They're constant throughout the game and way overused.
Were you able to give Roman a manager? His entrance last year was pretty much spot on, but you had to have Heyman as the manager. It was probably the closest entrance to real life except for the Ula Fala sometimes clipping through the belt at the end.
Did they do anything to liven up the first part of the game at all? The story may have an incredible ending, but Persona 3 might be the slowest start to any game I've ever played. Almost nothing of note happens until the summer break, and that's after 30 or so hours.
It's probably because I played 3 after 4 and 5, but I also thought most of the social links were fairly weak. I imagine that's because they recycled the archetypes for every game and improved them slightly each time. A lot of the more interesting social links also don't pop up until later in the game as well.
@Akriel_Boulve: You don't seem to understand what a critical detail is. Anne Boleyn being Black might be historically inaccurate, but it changes nothing about the story. There is also an endless amount of other details that aren't a perfect representation of what actually happened and what that period in history was like. So who really cares?
Same thing with Jarl Haakon getting gender-swapped. It matters even less than the Anne Boleyn casting since there is no intent to be accurate. It's historical fiction and the Vikings didn't have a written language to keep records. It's a fictional character influenced by multiple historical figures.
The whole premise of A League of Their Own is that men went to war so they had to have women's teams. There isn't a movie if it isn't about women's teams.
@Akriel_Boulve: I'm not sure you understand what A League of Their Own is about. It's fundamental that the baseball players are women. There's nothing fundamental about ghostbusters being men.
They absolutely could have made a great Ghostbusters movie starring a bunch of funny women and sold it as such. The problem was never the women. The problem was the movie was mediocre at best.
