Depending on when you jumped into the game your experience with that story may be different. As it was coming out it certainly didn't feel like AE was meant to be the good guys, IMO they pivoted.
Regardless, AI has no place in games content. Behaviour like this from HoYo is why I quit HSR.
I understand that take and I agree that's where they took AE's story in the end. They ended up blaming all the terrible stuff AE did on "a few bad apples" aka Cocolia. Which in turn I think is another juxtaposition to AI. Reconning history and forgetting where all the training data came from.
Calling your AI division Anti-Entropy is wild. HI3rd's early plot involves AE killing a girl to build a robot and installing a mind-control chip in an MC. Feels like an allegory for something...
True, the previews didn't show much of CC. I think people will be disappointed in that regardless. Like when Dragon Age switched from silent to voiced protag, you lose a lot of personal roleplay when it's voiced. You can't choose the tone and delivery in your head.
Oh absolutely, it's why I name dropped reddit. I just wanted to point out that the post was missing some of the nuance of the situation.
It's hard to be certain. I remember DA:I had a lot of compromises and limits because of the frostbite engine.
But I don't disagree, there are some systems I would have hoped they prioritise. Stat points are fairly cosmetic but they make it feel TTRPG.
To be clear the dlc and locked content sucks and shouldn't be defended. That's paradox trying to claw money back.
It just irks when people bag on small studios, who by all appearances are trying their best. I'm sure if they had another 500 devs that list would be shorter.
Reddit is being a bit misleading here. You can't play as some clans but they are in the game. You have guns they just hover with telekinesis
It's almost like TCR is a tiny studio and building systems and animation is hard. I too would like a AAA sequel to a cult classic game, but it's not happening
