Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

No current examples available.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Archetypes are the game's version of the classic JRPG class system with over 40 unique Archetypes including familiar roles like Mage, Thief, Knight and Healer.
  • Euchronia's king has been assassinated, and players must elect a new one.
  • The game includes a royal tournament for the throne in six months and monsters as bosses.

Deceptions

75%

Examples:

  • Microsoft's game studios have a lot going for them, but with all of their titles coming to PC (and several to PlayStation and Switch) great games might not turn into great console sales.
  • The former would pare down the new controller's features and cloud connections, but would supposedly include a new industrial design.
  • The tough thing for team Xbox is Sony and Nintendo are broadly walking their own road and doing pretty well at it. Sony has sold 58 million PlayStation 5s and is preparing to launch a pro variant that will be significantly more powerful than the Xbox Series X. It's also opening up to publishing on PC and just announced a game that's coming to Nintendo Switch.
  • We already figured that the Series S wouldn't be refreshed, given Microsoft has been selling a $350 1TB version since last fall. But Microsoft's vision for the Series X was unclear, and what we ended up with was a pretty weird pair of configurations: a 1TB all-digital Series X console priced at $450 and a 2TB special edition with a disc drive, priced at $600.
