To add to this: Plus R was released on Steam in May 2015, and Xrd in December later that year.
So 10 years ago ArcSys were so niche, they barely had any presence outside of Arcades and PlayStation.

I'm sure they planned 10 years ahead for that dogshit Avengers game and Kevin Feige been a Testament main since 2013, yes 😂
I'd be extremely surprised if Sony reached out to ArcSys to develop Tokon before Strive's release.
I'm assuming they probably did right after Strive's release and Tokon has been in the works for ~4 years. 10 would be crazy foresight from Sony and Marvel…
It's weird how 4 or 5 years between entries actually feels
Hmm… TBF, Strive went on way longer than anyone would've thought when it was announced… I'm pretty sure even ArcSys weren't ready for how popular it ended up being seeing it's the first time they broke their 25 character cap in GG… who even knows when it'll end? They may end up releasing one or two characters after this season ends—Jam, for example, hasn't made it in yet.
I'll be watching from afar given the direction this series is going, but it'll certainly be interesting to see where they take it from here seeing every major GG release broke new grounds one way or another.
I don't see why this is necessarily a problem?
I didn't say it was? I said I have no interest in it.
You and Sucker Punch can do anything y'all want—I can only talk about my preferences.
Metal Gear is one of my favorite series of all time, and that's an Eastern developer's take on Western culture.
Listen, I'm suffering through the drudgery that is Death Stranding's story RN, so last thing I need is for anyone to invoke Kojima in this context 😂 Someone please tell this dude "we don't understand how [insert made up technology] works" is not an excuse for shit writing 😂
We've been in the "oh, who cares if it accidentally gets a few people killed" era for some time, haven't we 😂
Hmm… I think the $80 tag would've been easier to swallow if Nintendo didn't have a long anticonsumerist track record: from taking down emulators, sabotaging legally owned consoles, killing fan tournaments, nonexistent or notoriously bad game sales, an extremely strict exclusivity policy, and no regional pricing to speak of.
Either way, fuck'em, emulators all the way, suckers 🤘 Go play whack-a-mole on Github.
Good games on super deep discount—$2 or less—because their replayability is nonexistent. Like, you can replay them to re-experience the atmosphere, but you have no in-game incentive to do so.
Even the secrets are easy to find, and at most will net you a second playthrough.
Hmm… I still have zero interest in this game series. They can do whatever they want, but I have zero interest in any western developer's take on Samurai.
It's like when Scorsese did Silence—it's nice he got to live his Kurosawa fantasy, but I have no interest in Eastern culture depicted through a Western lense, even if the source material is Eastern.
I wish they just go back to making Sly. I'd be all over an all new Sly game with fancy gadgets and shit.
Yo, Deltron, let's gooo! I love this album! I appreciate Cannibal Ox, El-P, and I specially love Non Phixion, but no one's done sci-fi hip-hop like Del.
Artix + OpenRC is my favorite. Lighting fast, low resources, and has everything I need.
It's like Dumb and Dumber trying to delete a gender.
Politics is cyclical—their hayday will pass and future generations will laugh at how pitiful this is.
Unless the world ends first, that is. And if it does, no one won—especially not Dumb and Dumber.
