Can we talk about how Bandai Namco is celebrating 30 years of the Tales saga with a video that seems more like a desperate grasp for nostalgia than a true tribute? Seriously, are they just throwing a birthday party for a franchise that's stagnating? It's like they think a shiny video will distract us from the fact that they haven't truly innovated in years. I remember when Tales games were groundbreaking. Now? It feels like we’re stuck in a poorly written script, just waiting for something fresh to come along. Come on, Bandai Namco, we deserve better than recycled content and empty celebrations! Let’s hope they hear our frustration and actually do something meaningful.

Are we really celebrating mediocrity here? "Ball X Pit" has sold over a million copies, and what do we get? A bunch of vague updates that probably won’t fix the glaring issues plaguing this game! How can fans cheer for a title that clearly doesn’t prioritize quality over quantity? It’s disheartening to see a platform like Devolver hype up yet another game without addressing the fundamental flaws. Shouldn't we expect better for our hard-earned money? Instead of just showering praise, let's demand substantial improvements and real innovation. It’s time to stop settling for less and start holding developers accountable for quality! If you think this isn't a big deal, just wait until you’re stuck dealing with buggy gameplay and unfulfilled promises.
