You didn’t answer my question. In fact, you didn’t speak to anything I asked beyond basically reiterating your point and lacing it with an ad hominem. Get some sleep and respond tomorrow (if you want) with something more than assumptions.
To reiterate, I’m looking for what you actually know, not what you think you know, or what your gut tells you or whatever. If you actually know how to program the color, the effect, and anything else that goes in to it, then I’ll absolutely defer to your wisdom. Otherwise, you calling them out when you don’t know what they had to do to create these is just baseless conjecture over something not passing your eye test. Just wondering which one it is and nothing more.
Ah, thanks! I wasn’t sure what the story was for them. Makes a lot more sense now. Much appreciated! 
I think the stage looks nice, but okay, you seem to be on a rant so let’s see where this rolls.
If you look back at how they handled season 2’s story, it was the same deal. Current season character’s got the lion’s share of the content. Still, we did get a few cutscenes for other characters and everyone got dossiers, which is nice. I kinda like the reading mixed in with the viewing. Reminds me of Lost Odyssey a little.
I do hope that they add more cutscenes though, since it’s a living mode. I also hope that we’ll see some actual interactions and not just voiceovers, but that seems to be the style they’re going for.
I think the mode’s really fun, like an upgraded version of Soul Calibur’s Edge Master Mode, with way more stuff going on. I’m not sure what kind of game changer you needed, but I’m happy.
As for making KI great again, I think that’s a great slogan because America’s already great and KI’s already great, so that’s a perfect use of that vague, jingoist nonsense slogan; a sort of innocuous appeal to tradition when tradition had its (massive) faults in both cases, and we’re way better off now.
I’d like you to elaborate. What’s gimmicky about it? I mean, most fighting game modes have a gimmick or conceit, so what’s wrong with this one and why are you so underwhelmed by it?
Nothing screams “entitled” more loudly then questioning the passion of people that work insanely long hours to bring you content. That’s just not cool at all. Seriously, do you and shellshock just think they make paper airplanes for a few months before hitting the “add purple” button two minutes before the update goes to Certification? Who are you to question the love, drive and desire of people you’ve never met for the project that puts food on their tables?
Don’t say “we,” as you’re absolutely not speaking for the general audience. Bludgeoning through the dark isn’t a thing I’ve heard of. What do you mean by this?
A realist would know that time and resources are limiting factors, but I don’t think I’ve heard anyone say “suck it up and be happy you got anything at all.” So you can burn that straw man to the ground all you want. Don’t think anyone will fight you on it.
Also, when you say “most of us believed this was it,” What do you mean here? Cuz most people here were well aware that the Eyedol story update was bringing more stuff with it and they hinted at shadow skins as well.
You’re projecting. The content isn’t up to your standard so they must be lazy people that are okay settling for less, is that it? I imagine they take a little more pride in their work than that.
Man, being a devs must be a blast when you read stuff like this. SMH
Oh okay, I see the train has left the station and now it’s fully off the rails. Quite an imagination you have. Let me see if I can parse your intricate scenario for clues on your actual opinion. Soooo you think they’re trying to swindle us with bare minimum levels of effort and subpar content? Am I getting warmer?
Look man, if you hate so much about season 3 and a couple of stupid backgrounds being lost for this neat little letdown of mode makes you feel like you were swindled, then do yourself a favor and go find a game that doesn’t make you feel that way.
I’m 100% NOT telling you to geeeet out if you don’t worship at their feet. I’m saying if they’re not meeting your standards, and you’re so frustrated that you’re incapable of voicing your opinion constructively to such a degree that you’re perfectly fine or feel justified in making assumptions about who these people are and how they go about their work, then maybe you’d be happier with a game that does meet your standards.
Well, I guess this is turning into another one of those “bash the new content” threads, so I’ll just hit the bricks and leave you to it. I’m sure I’ll pop back in, but probably best to call it a night at the very least.
