Like seriously they all have flat vacant stares. Mr. Nomura… are you okay? Are you being forced to use Ai?

Batto McClain @smartbatto.bsky.social · 6d

Also why do all the models look lifeless like they were made with ai? #Dissidia #SquareEnix #Creepy

That is DISSIDIA without thinking it’s always going to be a cash grab and not a fun game.

Anyway- I wish you about as well as you claim to wish us and this frustrating time for fans has reignited my ideas.

“Don’t assume your dreams are just fantasy. If you can imagine a world, believe in it…and dive in.”

A lot of us want to believe in 012; however you have our Hearts Shattered, leaving us Wandering the Dark.

We don’t know how much longer we can afford you to speak of the Hollow Shell-

#DearTetsuyaNomura,

We do not want a 3vEv3 DISSIDIA title that will just close servers in one - two years. We want a DISSIDIA that’s on par with 012 that will remain for years for us to enjoy.

No more best wishes. You said it yourself:

I think it’s time the “Creative” Director at Square Enix steps down. They’re ruining DISSIDIA and reducing profits.

Batto McClain @smartbatto.bsky.social · 7d

Last time, Now with added Dislike amount.

Youch.

Also Square, Why you hide 012's Likes and Dislikes? Don't want to face the hard truth?

A screenshot of the New Dissidia Game receiving more dislikes than likes. Being "ratio'd" by a considerable Margin. 60k Views to 3.9 Thousand Likes and 4.2 Thousand Dislikes.

It just keeps getting worse. It’s like a wreck- I just can’t stop watching it burn.

Batto McClain @smartbatto.bsky.social · 7d

The New DISSIDIA Ratio got worse. It’s only been two hours for me since I took the initial screenshot.

Not good Square. ☠️

Said skill ceiling wasn’t even an issue to begin with. Take it From a furry-people who know how to make money:

You won’t make money if you chose to be ignorant of customers desires, you’ll have no customers at all if all you make is unappealing slop. Put your heart and soul back into it!

DISSIDIA and 012 worked because it was a Zippy Actiony 1v1 Arcade Fighter with a minor change to the 1v1 formula being in-depth ability customization.

NT was “Innovative” by forcing 3v3 with slow clunky controls and 0 in-depth controls in order to lower the skill ceiling…

Opera Omina was a hit because it was more strategy RPG than a Competitive Game.

The Theatrhythm games work because they’re Rhythm games, and the formula never changes in a major way that detrimental to the genre.

Batto McClain @smartbatto.bsky.social · 7d

People don’t want 3v3 Competitive Boss Fighters.

Players kept telling you exactly what they wanted but you ignored them because you want to innovate. Tekken is going strong because it uses the formula it knows works.

You’ve pulled yourself out of that shallow grave just to bury yourself again.

🧵1/5 This Ratio is foreboding. @square-enix-games.com

I’m going to be BRUTALLY honest here with you, not out of hate but love.

Go back to 012’s Formula and give yourself a safety net.

People don’t want Mobile Games that exist to get cancelled to your infamous 27 Mobile game graveyard.

Game.

Here is my match prior to this festival. Please not that I did not upload this for “Profit” I just hate mechanic exploiters SO MUCH!

Sandbagging? How about NO!

@sega-west.bsky.social I just had the Sandbagging Amy and Metal Sonic again. #SonicRacing:Crossworlds needs to get sandbagging fixed so people don’t Stop, Turn around, and fish for better items. I literally saw the Amy make a HARD U-Turn just to be last. They were on my team so I just closed my

@sega-west.bsky.social Had a couple people exploit the last place item mechanic to Sandbag for better Items, marked them in red. They full on stopped and waited hoping for good items.

I stopped and started fighting them so they HAD to race.

I did report their accounts.

A list of racers in the match. The user is unmarked, innocent racers are marked as white, and the players who sandbagged are in red.

Sandbagging is a term used when a player stays behind to get better items via abusing the catch up item mechanic- giving better items like a bullet bill or lightning bolt, holding onto them until the final lap and using them to steal victory.

Like it’s fine to not like a game or have issues with it, but to constantly silence your friend because you didn’t want to hear positivity from them… that’s kinda disgusting.

BE HAPPY YOUR FRIEND LIKES IT!

Batto McClain @smartbatto.bsky.social · 12d

To stop making counterpoints- not even letting them speak. It was so awkward to watch him just constantly tell the friend “Shut it, I don’t wanna hear you make counter-points because they’re sloggy.” Or “I don’t wanna hear whatever excuse you’re making.”

In the wake of this game ( #SonicCrossworlds ) being a hit, (at least compared to prior racing titles). I’ve been seeing a lot of streamers, but I never thought I’d come across one that would say SR:CW is worse in every aspect compared to MK:W and then tell their friend(? They were Off camera.)

Like I’m out here, looking behind me and they all drive around me like I WASN’T trying to do the objective and line up with them for tap boosts.

At this point I may as well stop trying to go for team taps and just try and place first.

I even plan my Gadgets accordingly!

Batto McClain @smartbatto.bsky.social · 12d

Okay, so the #MinecraftFestival in #SonicCrossworlds sucks with “Tap Boost” because my team mates tend to stay away from me 90% of the time- I’d rather it be Enemies than allies to be completely honest.

Batto McClain @smartbatto.bsky.social · 13d

And by better, I mean my handling is normal and my speed is fixed rather than an inch left or right when drifting and going half my speed.

I just ran two races and got top 6 again.

Batto McClain @smartbatto.bsky.social · 13d

I just had an idea. So I’ve noticed that the game runs better after I restart it instead of putting my PS5 to sleep when trying to play #SonicCrossworlds.

I don’t know if there’s a correlation, but this may be a PlayStation bug based on a p2e connection.
