I only ever play the campaign, never online, so as long as you have a disc, that will never change.
I had a similar reaction. It's not bad, per se, but I find it utterly uninteresting. Traversing the bespoke wilderness of Skyrim or the Capitol Wasteland might have just spoiled me, but this game lacks the sense of "what's just over that next hill?" that pulled me through the other Bethesda games and the story just didn't hook me enough. Add to that the fact that I have no love for space combat or ship building and this game just seems to have been made for someone who isn't me.
From everything ive read, Dreamcast was ahead of its time and honestly wish other companies took from Dreamcast’s example. Their biggest “innovation” is using analog sticks based on magnets and the halls effect for positioning, meaning that those sticks wont suffer from analog stick drift for years unlike modern consoles where your controller’s sticks start getting funky after a year of decently heavy play. Im honestly considering how difficult it is to learn soldering so I can just buy replacement sticks and resolder them on. Not sure what the risks are to be honest and the internet does seem to state its pretty easy.
I kinda doubt that a hack of a partial game is gonna make a huge dent in the sales figures. More concerning would be a bunch of negative reactions swirling as a result of some unfinished feature or placeholder material or whatever.
Hopefully and luckily it was an incomplete version but it would be disheartening nevertheless. I didnt want to spoil the game for myself so didnt activetly search for leaks. I dont know if they decide to scrap what was leaked, tweak, or just carry on but they really need to buff up security now which means more money on security, less money spent on devs to make a better game.
That would be cool and would make sense. There is hype for God of War given the success of Ragnarok as well as the free DLC that recently dropped and I do think the devs need to think about what to do next with the series now that the Norse arc is over. I can see Santa Monica buying time while retaining interest by re-releasing the original trilogy and the side games on modern consoles and PC to keep interest in God of War up while they develop the next world they plan to explore. Although there are hints from Tyr's weapons used in Valhalla (Aztecs, Egypt, Japan), I could see them surprise us by not using any of these regions because Tyr already dealt with them (or they are allies to Tyr so Kratos doesnt need to visit them) although Valhalla does try to put an end to Kratos' story with Valhalla.
Still hoping that leaked Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster rumor turns out to be true.
