Maybe they used automated Translations?

I expect both their stock to now drop even further, will be interesting to see what happens.

Canā€™t wait for Josefā€™s next game, loved Brothers, Way Out and It Takes Two.

Very cool when ā€œbig shotsā€ like Phil tweet things like this, just like us heā€™s a gamer, he clearly enjoys it. And itā€™s cool Fares replied too.

His next game should be quite something, so far he hasnā€™t missed.

So as expected, Unga bunga is great!

But I donā€™t think I can use it with this weapon. It blocks so much of the screen I canā€™t see some enemies standing in front of me.

Josef is one of the most talented directors in the industry right now IMO, he understands what makes the medium unique and designs his games around itā€™s strong points instead of trying to make games that ā€œitā€™s like a movie!ā€ ā€¦which is funny because he comes from the film industry as well (he was a movie director) but I guess this is one of the reasons he actually distinguishes what makes each medium great and unique.

Canā€™t wait to play his next game! Iā€™ll be there day one! :partying_face:

I despise this company, grateful I grew up as a SEGA kid

Iā€™ll be there day one too.

Yes both the gameplay and storytelling in his games is just so unique. I have been more emotionally impacted by his games over any big AAA narrative cinematic game.

Even the elephant scene in It Takes Two is more impactful then most :rofl:.

Iā€™m curious to see how Infinity really works. Love the AC series so the more the better as far as Iā€™m concerned. But Iā€™m wary of the ā€œhubā€ being super unwieldy and making it hard to play just the game you want, like the Call of Duty hub just seems to make playing the game themselves harder and less convenient. :sweat_smile:

The microtransaction stuff doesnā€™t bother me at all because all recent AC games have millions of cosmetics and theyā€™re super easy to ignore and just play the game IMO.

Yeah, same. I love the AC games but I have no interest in buying cosmetics or anything else like that.

Thatā€™s fucked up.

For me itā€™s not the cosmetics but the microtransactions like unlocking the map waypoints/treasure (so you can see them on the map), XP boosts (to earn XP quicker) and money boosts (to earn money quicker).

These shouldnā€™t be a ā€˜thingā€™ in a single player game, especially XP as I have found in some games you really have to grind for those levels without the boost.

Well, Iā€™ve never felt a need for those either. If it comes to a point where you have to use those, Iā€™d be pissed off too.

This sucks, Iā€™m a big fan of their work on the Life is Strange franchise - thereā€™s so many touches in their work that feel like they reflect a passionate team behind the game. Iā€™ve always been quietly hopeful that Xbox might take an interest in them some day.
