Square Enix Is Poisoned (The Jimquisition)
Added 2022-03-14 13:14:34 +0000 UTCBabylon's Fall and Chocobo GP have both recently demonstrated Square Enix's commitment to being an awful videogame publisher. It's the culmination of years of poisoned thinking.

"The Quiet Man" really should have been heeded as the warning it so clearly was.

2022-03-16 03:31:20 +0000 UTCLooks like some reports have come out that they're just like every other developer. Crunch, poor working conditions, especially low pay, and especially poor treatment of pregnant women.

2022-03-14 21:48:15 +0000 UTCWait why did the "we'll be talking about From Software next week" sound ominous? There's nothing ominous here is there

2022-03-14 19:18:02 +0000 UTCI enjoyed this video. I think it's overdue.... that said, I did really love seeing Jim cover a game, its mechanics/world design, and like... actually getting into game criticism again (on the main show) last week. It was nice to see, and I hope they'll dip more into bringing up things they like as the centerpiece and use that to contrast to the rest of the industry. Again tho, great video. 100 percent a banger.

2022-03-14 18:29:48 +0000 UTCSo yeah, thanks for getting this Chocobo theme song stuck in my head. It hurts, and bashing my head in with a hammer seems more appealing every minute. Another enemy destroyed by Commander Sterling.

2022-03-14 16:48:26 +0000 UTCYeah... Definitely agree with everything said in the video. Great video as always. This one hurt a lot since I was really looking forward to Chocobo GP as I loved the old Chocobo Racing for Playstation. But as time went on and they started announcing more and more live service bullshit I began getting worried. Now it's the dumpster fire it is today. I will not play that since, as Steph mentioned, I may eventually give in to the micro transactions. I really hate modern gaming...

2022-03-14 16:12:22 +0000 UTCI've said it for years, FFXIV is only as good as it is DESPITE Square Enix, and was almost killed for literally the EXACT SAME REASONS so many of these other games have suffered. Their upper management save for a select few is severely hampered in their capabilities to even to the basic function of running their own business without relying on the sheer momentum of their properties rather than actual competency of management.

2022-03-14 15:22:20 +0000 UTCI really like the parallel alliteration of "broken and laggy on top of being boring and lethargic".
