An oil-painting themed videogame sure sounds like a great idea. But it's not something you suddenly decide to do mid-development. Take a look at Spiderman into the Spiderverse, their art creators spent over a year just trying to get the art style right and THEN they proceeded to make the film. That should've been the case with Babylon's Fall. Really huge dissapointment from Platinum Games.

Ok, this is bothering me. I know it's easy to dunk on Square Enix for their shitty attempts at live service but Babylon's Fall becoming the shit it is now is completely Platinum's fault. Recently they had a change in CEO and this guy is quoted in saying they want to focus on creating games that would "last forever" and that this was the "future of the industry", not "one off" games like Bayonetta. So no, I'm sorry, Square Enix has done and is still doing some shitty stuff, but this is Platinum's mess, not their's.

The 2019 trailer looked pretty good and it seemed like we were in for a decent game. The art style stood out now it looks like a generic mobile game with a d-tier story. After playing the demo I think the game has a solid combat system but would have been better off as a single player campaign. However Square Enix seems to have an obsession with GAAS lately. I don't understand publishers prefer to make a mediocre live service game that will probably be dead in six months instead of a solid single player campaign with the option of paid dlc.

When you first described the multiplayer scaling (or lack thereof), I thought there game was changing nothing for solo players, but after seeing you survive that giant attack from the boss, I think Platinum decided the only thing to scale was enemy damage, but not HP, so whilst the enemies have 4x the HP that they should for a solo player, they are constantly only doing 25% damage, which is why you end up in this boring slog situation

Yeah, I was pretty disappointed with the demo too. I don't want to see Platnum die because I really loved Metal Gear Rising and Bayonetta, but this already is looking like a flop. It's a brand new demo for everyone to try and I still had difficulty finding 4 people to queue with to take on the first actual boss, Zenon. Also, his MMO insta-down explosion attack which requires 4 people to cooperate to destroy is unfair considering there's no way to communicate with your party members. The art style and general aesthetic actually reminded me Greedfall (a AA single player RPG set on a fantasy island with a plague afffecting the population, what a coincidence.) The worst part is that the melee combat feels super unsatisfying, which is not something you want to see from a PLATNUM game of all things. When I spent more time using bows instead of swords and hammers, that's a problem. The live service aspects like the Battlepass and paid currency is an even further slap in the face. You can either pay with cash or with your precious time, and with combat this bland, I think my time is better spent with another game. On one hand, Platnum is on verge of bankruptcy so I can see why they went this path. On the other hand, this is destroying consumer goodwill while not being likely to bring in the massive profit they were expecting. Honestly, I would be down for a co-op dungeon crawler like the vaporware Deep Down, but this just isn't it.

Platinum is nowhere near bankruptcy, they got a huge investment from Tencent and are working on their own self-published games. Babylon's Fall was just contractual work by their D-Team for Square Enix. It's fully funded, published and owned by Square Enix, Platinum had no say on whether this would be a single player experience or a live service thing. This game completely flopping is not going to have the effect on Platinum you think, they already got paid by Square.

If that's was not the case how can they been on the bankruptsy line in 2017 if they always been paid to made games for other companies? In fact i think, that you being optimistic for no reason since: - W101 Remastered sales judging by the number of reviews extremely low, so even PG hardcore fans didn't buy it. No numbers on sales at all which a a bad sign. - No one cares about Sol Cresta, especially with ridiculous pricing like this (50$) - Bayo 3 will not sell a millions, especially knowing that Bayo 2 still can't hit 1m. copies on Switch and that's including Wii U numbers, on the platform with 103m. user base. - They made huge investment into expanding numbers of workers and opening Tokyo office, but yet to produce something heavily profitable like Nier:Automata was (6m. copies sold) and the bills needs to be paid. Babylon's Fall flopping certaintly doesn't help. - Project GG is releasing god know's when, and like the most Hideki Kamiya games will sell poorly. There's no confirmation about D-team, especially knowing that the director Kenjii Saito was a main Programmer of Bayo 1 and on of the directors of MGR. Also Hiroshi Yamaguchi the Okami compositor on the soundtrack. I seriously doubt that "D-Team" were paid lower just because. Yeah, they had Tencent money for now, but how long did they keep company afloat, and what do they ask later for this gift, that is a question.

But then they missed the mark even MORE cuz there’s a SECOND title card shortly after that’s also weirdly timed? I knew the game would disappoint me from there… just bad attention to detail and direction.

You said this feels like seeing them take up drinking but I think it's more like, that was a while ago but now is the first time they come home blackout drunk with a belt in hand. First they were crowdfunding for a remaster. Ok that's weak but they were independently publishing a remaster of a Wii U exclusive with a cult following. But then they released the successor to Okami as an ios cashgrab that had to retroactively be turned into a non-mtx based REAL game following the backlash that probably wouldnt have even worked if Apple Arcade hadnt offered them a spot in that service. Now they made a garbage live-service at Squeenix's behest and are now working on a...successor to Final Fantasy Tactics. And while I'm all for developers branching out I seriously don't see why they're Co-Developing a top down tactics game that frankly looked like the most jank thing i've seen in any recent release for a long time. ....Anyways this was some well made content! Nice thing about these dumpster fires if nothing else is finding smaller but quality channels as i take in the schadenfreude (see the aforementioned cynicism).

I can't express how disappointed I am As a Nier automata fan, I was expecting so much from this game. I had the possibility to join the beta and I was already incredibly disappointed ( you talk about the graphics, but the paintbrush effect was even worse back then and made the action unreadable), beta phase 2 and still remained bad I hoped, oh I hoped ! That the final release would be better. I tried the demo today and I came to the same every single ones conclusions as you This is soooo far from the quality of Nier Automata...

Considering how greedy or broke Square Enix are recently with all the pricing... I think its their fault for ruining Babylon's Fall... I was really looking forward to that game and not this mess

I think The Division is possibly Destiny 2's closest competitor in the Live Service front but they haven't added any new content for a while and Ubisoft would probably proceeding to make a 3rd one like they did with Assassin's Creed. Destiny 2 has its own ups and downs. Learned one thing, ruined another, fix one thing, mess up another.

This is definitely an example of a greedy corporate CEO saying, fuck single player, make it online, add a paid battlepass, but no, make it a full priced game too. Remove all the cool stuff you can do, you cant do it in co-op. Basically fuck the game you had planned because we want money.

Platinum: "Here's some Us stuff, since you hired us." Squeenix: "No, stop, change it." Platinum: "okay we changed it. Here's some more Us stuff since y-" Squeenix: "No, stop, change it." Platinum: "okay... here's some-" Squeenix: "Ship it."

Say what you want about Destiny 2, the grind sucks, balancing is sometimes out of wack often and there's not enough QA testing at all, but with all these faults, at least the game is more fun, functional and less laggy than this mess. I definitely blame Bungie for popularizing the genre because we now have so much more shitty games in the same genre but at least it makes me laugh knowing that the former Halo developers can make a better live service game than a FAR BIGGER company like Square Enix. They should absolutely know better.

If they wanted to make the game look like a painting, then maybe they should have done what Disco Elysium did and had brush strokes on the textures in the world (and maybe the models)

Honestly, Square Enix should be kept far far away from anything they could possibly monetarily gain from at this point. EA too, now that i think about it.
