As far behind as I am on the LAD series, I'm sorely tempted to jump right into the pirate game (god only knows when I'll get to LAD8, so I'm hoping it's a fairly stand-alone narrative). All the ship combat stuff looks really fantastic, and is exactly the kind of iteration I'd been hoping to see on the Black Flag formula that just... never happened.
I just really hope it's not all condensed and action-focused. One of my favorite parts of these sorts of games is just... exploring the open sea, being one lone ship out in the water, crashing through the waves. Or happening into a thunderstorm that really gets the water roiling -- always delightful. I also find it really interesting that this is basically our second "Japanese Black Flag" releasing in roughly the same 6-month period, after Ys X, and I guess we're due for a third not too far from now, with Ys X-2, assuming it brings back the ship stuff. |

-Poke- All is functioning it seems. Anyway, time for vidya discussion. Ah, Mighty No. 9, a masterclass is how NOT to do a project, especially one billed as a spiritual successor to Mega Man. I think the thing that gets me about Inafune's departure is that he left before Legends 3 was ever greenlit and then had the gall to play victim. And to top it all off, the guy essentially pissed in the well on his way out, locking Mega Man off to CAPCOM lest he encourage fan ire. Well, that didn't turn out so well. To top it all off, Inafune's dreams of making a multimedia franchise blew up in his face because he was putting the cart before the horse. Now he gets nothing. Meanwhile, CAPCOM has long-since course-corrected and moved past that weird obsession with pandering to the West with the numbers to back it up. Speaking of which, apparently Like a Dragon has gone full G Gundam on us and I'm all for it. Giving us another pirate game is also a plus after Skull and Bones became another Ubisoft fiasco. Now for me to go back to the latest Xenoblade X trailer to dissect things |

I dunno their games still feel pretty westernized to me. Resident Evil and Street Fighter don't really feel fully back to their classic Japanese style of output of the older games. Maybe that's just Modern Gaming though. If they ever do a new Mega Man or Breath of Fire it'd be really interesting to see. |
