On the surface, it looks like a bad breakup/divorce just happened with Square and Sony.

Yeah, thatā€™s a red flag if I see one.

I didnā€™t know there was a Halo tabletop game coming, and Iā€™m not able to watch the video at the moment, but I will say the first thing that comes to mind when I think of what a Halo tabletop game could/should be isnā€™t a dice game, but a deck builder.

No, not like Magic and other card collecting games like that. Something like Dominion is what I mean. Each card is an opportunity to introduce lore, and you have near infinite expansion possibilities.

The other approach that comes to mind is some kind of co-op solution, which would be apropos considering itā€™s Halo, and then Gloomhaven or its spinoff Jaws of the Lion (for more mass market appeal) would be excellent sources of inspiration.

All that said, as a lover of tabletop games Iā€™m gonna have to check out that video later.

Well I did say ā€œOn the surface.ā€ Lol.

Visions of Mana in the most played games in Xbox japanese top.

Huh, is the game out there?

No, there are just so few Xbox players in Japan that sometimes games in play test sometimes show up in the list so people find it funny. Meta for Refantazio showed up on the charts as well.

Ya, just felt like they could have gone 100 other routes, may be it plays well who knows

I prefer some engine building with some combat and events would be good. I am not a fan of Dominion

Itā€™s coming out next week. Man I hope it turns out well.

The demo didnā€™t do it for me, but I have a feeling that was just a wrong way to show your game. I hope it is. All the trailers showed that there should be enough to see and do.

Reminds me of Blue Dragon. That was a really good JRPG.

Itā€™s only Ubisoft left to announce big layoffs (out of the big publishers) now :pensive:.

Tick tock.

Itā€™s a messy issue that they will have to learn to deal with if they want to keep more devs in game development. That just sucks to hear about every damn time.

Hoping they go back to the linear story driven focus that the first two games had. Mafia III had a great story and characters with an excellent soundtrack but the gameplay/combat and open world design of it just wasnā€™t it.

Iā€™ll say this happens later this year or early 2025.
