BABYLON'S FALL [PC, PS4]

[hexer]

Some of the combo moves are straight from Nier and I like the environment and those rolling beetles.
Should be fun on hard difficulty, we'll see!

If this is supposed to invoke Babylonian mythology, they get an F on that regard.

The Japanese mangling foreign mythology in a video game???

Nooo, that's never happened before.

What I hate about Platinum games is there are a lot of special effects for every action. Be it kicking, punching, slashing or stabbing.

Chinese propaganda coming soon

Revealed to be a 4-player GaaS co-op platinum action game. Beta registration is live.

 

[Dedicated_Dark]

Blurry as fuck! Need less oil paint shader.

 

[Jenkem]

looks like shit. what the fuck happened to platinum?

 

[Hyperion]

They were never good. They just fooled everyone with 2B's ass.

 

[LESS T_T]

Store page for beta test.

 

[LESS T_T]

Store page for the main game.



It's $10 cheaper than FF7 remake! Just pay $40 more for capes and accessory!

 

[N0rn]

Posted 6 hours ago, got 27 likes, and the gameplay shown looks like shit as well. Really pathetic. Is Platinum going to survive this? I can't see this sell more than a few thousand copies max, especially since it's releasing right next to Elden Ring.

 

[ADL]

This looks uncharacteristically mediocre for Platinum and what troubles me is the guy in the comments saying the combat feels weightless and unsatisfying. If this were Bayonetta Diablo I'd be all over it but it's not.

 

[mediocrepoet]

I was keeping an eye on this up until one of the last promo videos before release around a month ago. I was just floored by how the entire thing looked like shit.

 

[Suicidal]

I remember I saw the trailer for it during some E3 many years ago and thought "hey, Platinum makes cool action games, maybe this will be a cool action game" but this looks terrible. What happened?

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Seensm some posts saying it gets better as you unlock moves and the Gideon's Coffin thing (customization)

still, it's a live service game so if you can't stand those there's no way around it.

 

[Adenocaulon]

Square Enix do not understand nothing about current marketing trends

 

[Talby]

The game looks like shit and also had the abysmal luck of launching right around the time of the biggest RPG of the year.

Spoiler

ELEX 2, obviously

What the fuck happened to Platinum? They went from putting out bangers year after year to being extremely hit or miss. At least before, their bad games were mostly those smaller tie-in things like the Avatar (?) game and Ninja Turtles.

Also fuck live service games forever.

 

[SlamDunk]

Who made Babylon?

Spoiler

Mamalon and Papalon, of course.

Square Enix is seeking fan feedback on how to improve Babylon’s Fall

It's a survey mainly about the graphics.

Thank you for playing BABYLON’S FALL.
We are running this survey to bring everyone an even better game experience and would appreciate it if you could answer regarding the graphics in particular.

Are the graphics really what broke the camel's back here or is it a scapegoat for underlying issues that resulted in horrendous sales figures?

The game is shit, unfortunately, and unsurprisingly.

And still more popular than any indie crpg praised in the codex

You're wrong.

This is the end times for Platinum games. They actually do worse than slavecore.
