Yeah I think that is the general sentiment on 2. I didn’t feel this way at all when I played it.
I think the themes in 2 are so powerful and explored in interestin such interesting ways. It tackles growing up and responsibility but also obviously politics, protest, immigration, racism.
True colours gets in to some of these more global themes too, albeit in a much narrower scope.
I guess 2 was a lot more ambitious and clearly didn’t land for people as successfully

I thought the writing was excellent, especially compared to the first game. It also had a bisexual storyline for what it’s worth but I generally thought it was such a great expansion of all their ideas.
Also loved the free teaser game captain awesome, and how it crossed over into the main game.
I feel like they really were stung by the overall reception of it, that we lost the storyline we’d have had if it had gone over well. I thought it was vastly superior personally. That said I’ve enjoyed all the games in the series. Before the storm feels janky at first but does have some decent writing in it also.

Stoked for that and Blood and Rage early next year as well

Thanks for sharing this. I love the series so I will play this, tbqh I’m not sure these events mark Deck Nine out much from the industry as a whole sadly.
Off topic, what did y’all think of LiS2? I thought it was a real shame that it didn’t do as well as they hoped.

Used to be the norm back in the day though. I’m saying 15 years or so before the old internet disappeared with AWS etc.
Self hosted should be an option and I think this is a reasonable requirement tbqh. Yeah it’s not 0 work but it’s not a hardship either, really, given the many hours that are going to be needed on netcode anyway. Especially if you know this going in to development.

I know exactly the part you mean and same. Amazing moment. I also LOVED the sequel. Criminal that it didn’t do as well as they wanted because I want them to make an even bigger version next. True Colours was pretty good though

Is Jusant really that short? I think the demo took me 2 hours

Yes exactly, as long as that adds up to the same compensation percentage the original voice actor signed up for then I don’t see an issue with this.
I’m almost 100% sure that won’t be the case without a fight
