The spin/cartwheel dodge has been a thing for Mihoyo since Honkai Impact 3rd which they released in 2016. Nier Automata was released in 2017. So was the character switching system.

Genshin is a Honkai Impact 3rd that substitutes active fighter mechanics for elemental. Now whether HI3 copies an even earlier system is another matter, but it certainly wasn't Mihoyo copying Nier Automata.

Interesting. Never touched HI3 so I didn't know. I concede the remark, then.

There's evidently a lot of cross pollination in design and ideas between developers. As a consumer I just hope they continue incorporate what fans liked and improve upon what fans did not like, even if it was another studio making the mistake.

More Genshin drama as X'ers accuse Hoyo of copying this dance for Xilonen's idle animation.


First, this is called jamskating or crazy legs. This goes back to the '80s.



Second, dances can't be copyrighted.

Ubisoft's QC has truly gone down the drain with bugs here and there. Another problem is their wreckless inappropriate appropriation of another culture with cardinal cultural mistakes here and there, like not being able to tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese architecture, using the one legged gate in Nagasaki that was a memorial to the atomic bomb blast, misalignment of the sword sheathing, a wooden trapdoor in a Japanese tiled roof; wearing the Oda clan symbol when you're not a family member.


The JP trailer for Assassin's Creed Shadows got heavily ratioed by the Japanese players. Ubisoft should have gotten a proper consultant on Japanese culture like the devs of Ghost of Tsushima did.

Another problem I see with AC:S is that it looks visually mediocre, not any different from any other Ubisoft game of late, such as Star Wars Outlaws.

Compare it with this.

For those of us still holding out for a disc-based release for Black Myth: Wukong, a heartening parallel of good things coming to those who wait can be found in Alan Wake 2. That game was released digitally in late 2023 and is only now receiving a belated .

(Alan Wake 2 was #2 in Digital Foundry's , and I look forward to finally experiencing the disc-based game on PS5 Pro. One anticipates that Black Myth: Wukong will also feature in DF's best graphics of 2024.)

Gets even worse. Ubisoft commissioned figurines with their main character and a one legged torii gate, totally ignorant of what a one legged torii means --- the symbol of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. While it's expected that non Japanese would miss this detail, still if you want your game to represent some culture, Ubisoft should have actually hired some real Japanese historians rather than 'diversity' experts, and would have caught this issue on the bud. On top of that, when you're told you're wrong, instead of quickly correcting it, you decided to double down on it.



Ubisoft has cancelled its press release of AC:Shadow on the Tokyo Game Show and everywhere around the world.


This is how you destroy a franchise. This is how you destroy a games company.

So this is the demo of EXTREMELY HARD difficulty for Phantom Blade Zero
It is not on Youtube yet so I post here.
There will be Easy, Normal and Hard difficulty at first
