Gastino.
Thanks. I could hear it in my head but couldn't place it.
Not for $60 imo. Go play DMC V haha
But only having Luffy as a playable character was a huge mistake.
Really shouldn't have make it an open world in the first place.
because it's truly massive only on japan and japan stopped being a relevant market years ago.I just don't understand how a massive franchise such as One Piece just can't get a truly good action/adventure-title. Surely the audience is big enough to warrant a larger budget?
West don't care about One Piece.I just don't understand how a massive franchise such as One Piece just can't get a truly good action/adventure-title. Surely the audience is big enough to warrant a larger budget?
This being open world was probably an attempt to grab more people than the fans.i remember when i was really curious about this big ambitious game for the 20th anniversary..and it ended up being this one...

nowadays an "anime game" has to appeal to the west and on this side onepiece it's way behind properties like naruto, dragonball..even bleach and my hero academia have probably more western fans than onepiece at this point.

This.They just need to make Unlimited cruise 2.0 with new bigger islands and add the new attacks the crew has gotten since then, it is not that hard.
I don't know how they were able to get so much right with unlimited cruise and then so wrong with all the follow ups.
i didn't say that the west doesn't care about onepiece, i said that it's massive only in japan, thus they are not gonna put the budget it would need for a great game on the tableHero Academia isn't a surprise. It's the biggest Jump franchise to hit as hard as Naruto did in the early 2000's. Bleach though? Absolutely not. One Piece volumes are still getting published in English, the anime still has an on going dub, and has as much useless merchandise as other Jump series. Saying the west doesn't care about One Piece is extremely dumb.

Not sure you should be bragging to us about wasting a ton of time on shitty games.I played, and platinum'd/1000'd, Burning Blood as a PS4 import (I wanted the anime music edition) and as an X1 game. I played through Unlimited World Red on PS3, PS4 and...the 3DS. I think I'm gonna do fine here.
Don't gaslight, it's rude. Gastino has nothing to do with Ceasar Clown.
Pretty sure that his point was about how much fun he had with those games smhNot sure you should be bragging to us about wasting a ton of time on shitty games.
I wasn't bragging? Fuck off?Not sure you should be bragging to us about wasting a ton of time on shitty games.

You instinctively would be making a triple a game for a single market AKA Japan. Which probably doesn't really make any senseI just don't understand how a massive franchise such as One Piece just can't get a truly good action/adventure-title.

And One Piece games don't even do well in Japan.You instinctively would be making a triple a game for a single market AKA Japan. Which probably doesn't really make any sense
It's almost quite literally that game with a slightly bigger budget. Except the co op and playing as other strawhats are goneFor anybody in here that has played One Piece Unlimited World Red would you say World Seeker is better or worse than that game?
Oh yea, whatever happened to that one image of Mariejois burning lol
Can't play as Zoro either which is far more important but I see your point.I keep seeing this it's for the fans rebuttal...and ok fine.. But I can't play as sanji so it ain't that either
Ya, and it didn't stop them from being playable in Unlimited World Red.Robin,sanji(fly) franky(motorcycle,shogun,coup de poo)
Usopp pop green wolf
Nami(Zeus(it's a game they don't have to follow them rules) and milky road
Chopper and brook can just run
That wasn't open world and the levels were flat compared to the verticality of World Seeker.Ya, and it didn't stop them from being playable in Unlimited World Red.
I'm 6 hours in and at chapter 7. The best thing about this game are the visuals. This is hands down the best looking One Piece game. It perfectly captures Oda's art style and is just dam colorful. Luffy animates well from fighting to even the movement of his clothes. The music is also good, despite it only playing for a short amount of time. It's cool that you can make your own custom soundtrack from the game's music. It just sucks that the majority of the game doesn't play the music in long sessions. The story seems alright, even if the whole pro-Navy vs. anti-Navy thing feels a bit clumsily handled. I'm into the whole prison island setting and it's politics and people that settle on the island. Jeanne is ok so far and Isaac seems like he could be a cool villain, although I still don't know much about him yet. Everything else though is a mixed bag.
The world, for as good as it looks, is mostly empty grass plains and towns filled with the same looking NPCs. None of which are all that memorable with the exception of Steel City. There are a lot of villages and Navy bases that mostly look the same. NPCs lack different emotions. They're all mostly smiling and stay smiling even when they're clearly suppose to be sad or angry. They also repeat models a lot so you'll see the same guy in a suit and top hat but in different colors throughout the game. I am baffled at how much this game has no voice acting. Not even for the main quests. Whenever a character talks you get short amounts of voice acting but it's not what they're saying in the text, it's mostly "Luffy!".
The gameplay has so many cool ideas that are executed so poorly. The camera is way too close to Luffy. In tight moments when you're surrounded or need to get a good look of the area around you your field of vision is too limited. Controlling Luffy feels weird and off. Your button presses take almost a second to register and Luffy is very slippery in moving around. You can easily fall off a mountain cuz you didn't time your input and Luffy wouldn't stop moving. It's not tight and because of that combat suffers from feeling like you're not in control. This game should have had a constant lock-on instead of having it be based around you controlling a reticle at all times. I get that the devs want you to have full control of where you're looking as to make the range combat an important mechanic but I feel like it doesn't work. It doesn't help that the range attack in Armament Haki trivializes fights and puts you at a safe advantage. So many of the exploration skills that you have to spend points to get should have with you from the very beginning. You shouldn't have to buy Gum Gum UFO and Gum Gum Rocket. They both make traversing the world so much more fun. Rocket should also let you glide longer. Why can't Luffy swing around like Spider-Man? They show him doing it in cutscenes and all you get in the game is a half-assed swinging mechanic that only works on specific billboards in Steel City. The chests taking long to open is just LOL. Like, I get that the game doesn't want to steal chests quickly from enemies but come on game. And finally, the quests are boring. It's mostly been fetch quests and meet someone here and there. Nothing spectacular.
I just don't understand how a massive franchise such as One Piece just can't get a truly good action/adventure-title. Surely the audience is big enough to warrant a larger budget?
