Nothing like paying people tens of thousands of dollars to tell you to do more work in order to make that work appeal to people who will never buy your game.If you go back and watch the very first announce trailer, you'll see the negress's ass was nerfed.
Yes, free Alex Murphy from the General Gaming Ghetto!Daily reminder that codex actively keeps RoboCop: Rogue City out of the RPG thread in favor of stuff like this.
the setting and visual design are really cool
Playing the demo and the mechanics feel very weak and floaty, which is a shame because the setting and visual design are really cool.
It feels like they've just overloaded the game with too much stuff, a grabbag of trends from the last decade of gaming.
Yeah, it feels like a lot of cool ideas smashed together really awkwardly into some kind of gestalt entity of every gaming trend in the last ten years.I did like the idea of releasing areas from monsters or whatever those are and making them "habitable" for shops, etc to open though. But i'd prefer a more lean and focused core combat loop.
if they concentrated all these story and setting ideas down into a more linear style of game
Total surprise for everyone: the game is shit.
I think it's legacy of the last development cycle. Like how woke media kept getting worse even after the high-water mark passed. If this was announced in 2022, it was probably pitched in 2020 and greenlit in 2021.They do keep pumping millions into those manly black woman protagonist games that no one plays
Most games releasing in 2023/2024/2025 probably started development around the summer of love, when BLM, nigger worship and DEI initiatives were at their peak. I dont expect things to get better anytime soon but this helps contextualize the current gaming landscape. For investors and execs at the time it was probably a no brainer greenlighting this sort of stuff. Now their games will launch in completely different societal conditions. The best ones and the games from established franchises will probably still sell well enough but simply having a black woman protagonist will not give them enough positive marketing anymore.I think it's legacy of the last development cycle.

Imagine being the devs having to work on the most obvious 6/10 trainwreck for like five years in slowmotion.
