Very negative reviews - Analysis about Square Enix the Company and the Stock

[mrorange]

Hey friends,

Square Enix is overall a great company, or has been very noble in the past with Final Fantasy, Secret of Mana and many more great japanese RPG. But recently there seem to be problems with the company and the quality of the recent games as well as their success shows this in a good way.

If you are interested in my analysis about Square Enix I can recommend you to take a look into those two videos:

Video about Left Alive, updates on the stock of SquareEnix

Stock of SquareEnix, Financials of SquareEnix, Overview company and history

Thanks guys.
Btw: my videos are not monetarized. I just prefer to make a video instead of writing thousands of lines and long text. This is free info or at least entertainment. :)

Square Enix had become Japanese version of EA ~

Square is fine, this is one game. I think this topic is a bit ridiculous

One game? Really?

Because the release of Left Alive reminds me of: NieR: Automata, Final Fantasy 15, Secret of Mana, and World of Final Fantasy.

All of which had severe issues with poor hardware support, the first two of which ran poorly even on hardware that was above recommended specs.

Don't compare Left Alive to these games, especially Nier. Nier is high quality game with garbage port. Left Alive is garbage game with garbage port.

I think that's besides the point. They're all terrible PC ports, thus why I compared them.

Yes, those other games are all great, when they work. Problem is Square Enix doesn't care if they do.

What's wrong FF15 port?

Still has severe Memory Leak issues, especially one tied specifically to using summons later into the game. The people who claim it's not there either have 32GB or more of system memory or only play 1-hour sessions at most.

They worked out some of the hardware support issues so certain GPUs that were well above minimum specs could finally run the game without crashing the GPU.

Dont forget Just Cause 4 and the Game with the deaf guy:

If you take a look at my second video, I will talk about some major issues the company had recently, where a lot of professionals of the gaming press were writing about.

Honestly, these days I think "Professional" and "Gaming Press" are mutually exclusive and don't make sense when used in the same sentence.

It depends, I read most of the gaming company news on yahoo finance, its classical business news about a publicly traded company. Gaming Sites mostly don t talk about the Gaming Industry - exception maybe PC Gamer - but concentrate on the games. The customers, readers are mostly different, like between distinguishing investor and gamer. I am both, investor and gamer.

It goes beyond just one game. If you look at their earnings call, FY2019 Q1 was the lowest net sales they had. Additionally, they're slowly turning to mobile games as their primary source as they released 9 mobile games in 2018 and have another 6 upcoming in 2019.

And then maybe we could both have new TRPG/sRPG Front Mission games AND have TPS Front Mission games to rival Armored Core or something better.

Remember when Square Enix was good ? I do, but now they are releasing horrible "games", AVGN should review this game.
