But Obsidian has been doing really well under Xbox umbrella, they are better than even actualy, and Arkane has just been working as usual.

Also, before buying Bethesda, they mosty were seeking for smaller studios(Obsidian, Double Fine, Ninja Theory, Compulsion Games) and they gladly sold the companies to Microsoft, it was not a matter of greedy CEOs.

@Paraka 'Microsoft has a track record of not really utilizing their purchases"

And as usual, that "track record" boils down to just Rare -_- So far, Microsoft has actually been using well their purchases. As for modern Rare, Microsoft certainly forced them to make Kinect games for a while, but now they just choose not to use their old franchise and focus on new and original ips, after all, the majority of old members left the studio years ago, even when Xbox bought the studio, key people was already gone by that time.

A lot of prestigious studios are willing to sell themselves to Microsoft because all in all, they are currently a pretty good option.

Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Showcases Trio Of Brand New Power-Ups

I can't believe Nintendo added a lot of online features, yet they didn't add normal online co-op, like, wtf nintendo!?.

So far, I don't know what to think about the game, the new power ups and features seem to make the game even easier. Also, kinda disappointing you can only have one badget at the time, I think Yooka-layle let you have more than one.

I'm really unimpressed by the game, I think Indie games and Donkey kong country tropical freeze set up a new standar for the genre, let's hope Mario is able to catch up with them.

Re: Vampire Survivors Has A Director's Cut But It Might Not Be Released

@HeadPirate @mlt
I mean, people are calling these type of games Vampire survivor likes nowadays, so I don't think anyone is using the word roguelike to recommend the game to someone.(Also, the game doesn't have random environments nor exploration)

Vampire survivor is very different to every other roguelike in the market, it's more an Arcade game with roguelite elements(permanent upgrades) where you fight hordes of enemies collecthing (free)lootboxes.

It's nice to see the game having a good reception, I liked the new Battletoad, even if the game was far from perfect.

Thou, the score seem a little inflanted, almost every other website seem to be giving the game a 7-8. This game definitely doesnt look like Super mario/Rayman levels of quality, not even as something that could be better than Crash or Spyro.

Re: Baten Kaitos' Title Was Initially Disliked By Bandai Namco

@Manaphy2007 Bandai Namco has the rights of Baten kaitos and Xenosaga, as a matter of fact, Monolith didn't even developed Baten Kaito by themselves, they co-developed it along tri-Crescendo.

Monolith soft doesn't even like the ip that much, Xenosaga was always their favorite child.(And they have to ask Bandai Namco for permission to use the characters)
