The X Button - Dense Destiny

I’d also really like to see a better skill system. Obviously the game wants you to constantly be fusing new, better personas. But the fact that keeping your best skills is a big chore actually discourages that. I often find that, while I could fuse new persona it just isn’t worth it half the time because I’ll lose at least a couple of my useful skills. What they should do is get rid of the random element in selection. Instead, give us a certain number of inheritance points and give all skills an inheritance cost (perhaps with a modifier based on the persona’s affinity for that skill type). Then just let us choose outright. That should still keep things in check and prevent every persona from having every skill but still offer a lot more incentive to develop your skill pool and fuse new personas.

The same thing happened with Devil May Cry and the reboot had casual gameplay with poor AI (not to mention a social documentary disguised as a plot). Dead Rising 3 is also being developed by a Western team and all the trailers I've watched have been too serious (nothing to do with the ridiculous style of Frank West). Dead Rising 2 was also made by a western studio, now owned by Capcom and making the 3rd.

x_x Capcom was still the main developer for DR2. Keiji Inafune and the other Dead Rising 1 team worked on it, and Blue Castle Games only helped out with side stuff, which is why it still has it's unique charm of the first game. DR3 is entirely western studio with no original team on it with Capcom not involved at all so expect it to not be very good and more serious and shootery. The fact its bein published by Microsoft Studios and not Capcom is a good indication.

In Japan, adults generally don't play video games.. its mainly teens and otaku. Games have always been made for a lower age demographic because of this... its not like America where the average gamer is in their late 20s. JRPG series will always appeal to the same demographics over there.

Yeah it dosen't have the humor of the last two, but that humor was mostly lame

I'd hate to see Dead Rising lose all that charm and personality and just become another Call of Duty Zombies or Walking Dead style game that takes itself too seriously, especially by actually focusing more on shooting, where guns were mostly mediocre in the previous games to force you to be creative with your weapons. At this point you have to ask what separates it from all the other zombie stuff anymore? Though I guess since Inafune left Capcom, they don't want much to do with the franchise anymore so they handed it off to another team.

It'll be great for Persona 5 to include same-sex dating options; it'll appease both the yuri and BL crowd and show they're willing make progress in their game. Just like when they developed Catherine to be about dealing with adult relationships.

Also I would question your use of the term progress, I would hardly call allowing same sex couples in a game like Persona progress. Especially when more larger and popular games like the aforementioned Mass Effect and also Dragon Age have already done it.

I personally don't care if they put it in, though lets not kid ourselves, sales will remain roughly the same; its purely a political move, not a business one.

They did'nt hand it off to another team. it's the same people that have been involved with 2 and Off The Record.

Crispy45 You're such a shallow jerk. How does being western=bad? How does being Japanese=good? Last time I checked, Star Fox Command was considered the best Star Fox game since 64 and the main director was American, as well as a shit ton of other staff. Sure, the original creator Miyamoto was involved, but it doesn't change the fact that Americans worked on the game. It's not where, it's about it being good. There are several Japanese games, which are utter shit. Okay? Get this notion out of your head that western games are all shit and Japanese games are all good. The video game crash of 1983 is over. You'd have a point there. Too bad you're 30 years late.

Yes, it was handed off, which is why Capcom/Inafune are not involved with it anymore.

They may have worked on the second game but it was under the control of the original team. If they just worked on it as grunt programmers then that's hardly comparable to them now being totally in charge creatively

And I'm not sure how you can say CoD is as "over the top" as Dead Rising is with a straight face.

It's fine if you like CoD, but they're not really comparable styles at all

and just saying "CoD is a good game, who cares" misses the point of people's complaints. Not every game has to be rebranded as CoD.
