Is Metroid Prime a joke to you?Dark Souls is 3D and Metroidvania is 2D.People in this thread seem to be confused about the difference between Dark Souls and a Metroidvania.

I thought they should autistically reverse the sequel title:Who the fuck is coming up with these terrible titles for games?

What’s with all the battle droids still hanging around?

Fallen Order is less than $5 on Steam right now, I was going to say it's a more than 90% discount but apparently they lowered the base price to $40 2 years ago. You know your game is successful when...
Publisher Electronic Arts confirmed that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order had the fastest-selling digital launch for any Star Wars game within its first two weeks on sale.[79] The game sold more than 8 million copies by the end of January 2020, exceeding EA's expectations.[80] More than 10 million units were sold by March 31, 2020.[81] By June 2021, the game had attracted more than 20 million players.[
It’s been on EA Play and Gamepass for sometime which is probably where most of the more than 20 million ‘attractions’ were after the first 10 million actual copies were sold.Gerrard

You're missing the point, shitting in a box and putting the Star Wars logo on it was exactly what they did with BF1 and 2 (and apparently Squadrons? I haven't played it) and both/all of them underperformed, with BF2 being a notable turkey coupled with a major reputation hit.Still dreadful considering how bad the gameplay of that game looks. I guess you could shit in a box and put a Star Wars logo on it and it would sell at this point if you promised you can swing a lightsaber with it.
Yes, I neglected to mention it in my prior post, but someone at Disney seems to have realized that EA might have mismanaged SW even worse than Disney has. Unfortunately the key take-away there is that now Ubisoft is getting a shot at an open-world AAA Star Wars title.BTW didn't EA lose the exclusivity on SW games?
A friend gave me a copy of Squadrons for free and I even bought a HOTAS for it. It's alright. I enjoyed it, but not so much that I didn't get distracted by other games and leave it unfinished. I'll probably go back to it some day. It reminds me a lot of the old X-Wing vs TIE Fighter game, which I loved. I imagine that the multiplayer is probably pretty fun, but I'm not touching it until I beat sp.You're missing the point, shitting in a box and putting the Star Wars logo on it was exactly what they did with BF1 and 2 (and apparently Squadrons?

swtor has made over a billion dollars and receives regular updates10 million units sold was definitely an overperformance compared to internal expectations. We're talking EA here, the company that so badly bungled their exclusive rights to arguably the most popular pop culture franchise in the world that they only released 2 games in 5 years (both of which received mixed receptions and one of which had a major scandal around predatory monetization practices).
As I know you know: TOR has had a long tail and initially underperformed; it had a relatively strong launch, but steep dropoff in the months that followed.swtor has made over a billion dollars and receives regular updates10 million units sold was definitely an overperformance compared to internal expectations.

Yes. EA is famously happy to sit content and not milk its franchises dry. They are the very model of restraint.

What makes you think the exclusivity deal was to make games rather than prevent others from doing so?

External IPs don't play by typical genre rules, especially when it's an IP that appeals to children.
