I'm in conflict because I also really value Austin's opinion over other reviewers, his tastes tend to very strongly align with mine. I'm specially disappointed that he didn't find the cast or worldbuilding memorable, but I also know that he is very much into cyberpunk and some of the IPs the story references/borrows from so it makes sense he'd be critical of the missteps in that area. The other reviewers are so enthusiastic and effusive about the game and he is very clearly an outlier though, I feel like I might end up buying and enjoying it anyway. I think I'm gonna have to read/watch a lot of reviews today to make up my mind lol.
boooo 89 club let's go
Fire Emblem at 89 (a must!!) and SMM2 at 88 :)
Yea bad pacing and no character to care about is a huge deal breaker for me.
As Piston said, a better definition of first party is imo probably IP ownership. Nintendo owns all of the IP in Piston's list, and we typically think of them as first party games.
They're both first-party games, the only people who refute this are shitposters and trolls
Is poor pacing and easy/sparse combat scenarios (according to the review) unrelated to the action?
You must've missed the first party / 2nd party nonsense that went on in spiderman threads.
I think I can say that it takes the form of increasingly difficult arena battles in different stages of the main game, that's it so far. I haven't done them all (there are A LOT) so it's possible there are still new difficulty options or other secrets hidden there.
Corporations are legally people. Nintendo was founded in the 19th century. People don't live that long, so we must assume "Nintendo" is in fact a hoax.
Sounds like a blast! Looking forward to it
Nintendo codeveloped this game and owns the ip just like Wonderful 101
I'm so disappointed with these reviews.
I was so sure the game was going to be 12-15 hours, and as a general rule I don't buy games at full price if they are shorter than 20 hours. Now I hear this is 25 hours long? It shakes my whole belief system, since I was sure I wasn't going to buy the game now with DQXI on the horizon, but now I will have to reevaluate my spending for the next couple of months. Thanks a lot Platinum.

Reviewed well and even got criticized for not being like Nier Automata, a game that I hoped for Astral Chain to stay as far away as possible. Pretty nice.
Now just hoping good sales follow these reviews... please.

I've been reading anywhere between 15 and 30 hours (or even 50 for 100%?). I guess it depends on how much side content you do?
It took me 31 hours but I have little doubt in my mind you could finish it in 15 or less if you really wanted to.
GameExplain guy said 15 hours, but he seems to have rushed it a bit.
Other sources are saying ~25 for story and ~50 for completionist playthroughs.
Austin regularly enjoys big game releases, he was just super into Fire Emblem...
I have no intention to derail this thread, though, so I'd just like to remind people that Waypoint's lack of score means it's not even going to hurt its MC score. You can just ignore it y'all, and it's good to have a differing opinion people can read to help make up their minds about their game purchase.
True, hence why it makes sense imo to consider Astral Chain a first party game.
Yeah, at least we won't hear it again for some months
