So, you've played the
most played Platinum Game, and you just can't get enough of it. You know, the
one with the guy wearing a mask and a sword and the girl in white riding on a horse
and the clouds above you. All that excitement, all those great feelings of
accomplishment, the satisfaction... Well, for many people this is their
addiction. They will play this game until there is nothing left.
But wait... There's a
problem here, though. The problem is that as a highly addictive game, the
Platinum Dragon expansion packs often don't last very long. It gets to the
point where you're trying to figure out what to do to continue to enjoy your
experience.
Let's start with a
little story about how the game came to be. The original game was an
arcade-style card game created by a group of gamers in Japan. They used a
pretty standard game plan and the result was an incredible game. They were
having so much fun that they started to think about making an even bigger game,
one that had bigger characters and more detailed backgrounds.
Well, their first
effort failed, but then they got an idea. What if they made an expansion pack
for the already finished game, one that would make the game even more amazing?
And they did. This expansion pack ended up being called the Platinum Dragon
Packs. With this set, they hoped to create even more hype about the game,
hoping that more people would buy the game just to play the Platinum Dragon
Pack.
Unfortunately, they
were not able to add any more characters, change up the game much, or even add
the new stages that they had envisioned. But they still kept the game going.
They just added a few extra characters and made some changes here and there.
Soon, they were playing this game with their friends on an online server and
enjoying the joy that comes with a successful fan campaign.
The success of the
Platinum Dragon Pack was short lived however. Soon, the game had lost its
popularity, and it was time to move on. Instead of spending more time on the
game, they spent it on other projects. The team did, however, create a sequel
to the game, called the Heartstone Legend.
A lot of time and money
was spent on the new game. It was received well, but it never reached the same level
of popularity as the first game. One reason for this is because the graphics
were not the best. Perhaps they were basic. Another reason is because the game
was not too different from the original. So, once again, the team decided to
move on to other projects.
The decision seems to
be a smart one. For one thing, they did not have the time or the money to keep
making more games. For another thing, they are not selling too well. Other
companies took over the concept, creating games in the vein of the old ones.
That does not mean that they are bad, but it means that it may take time before
we see the great remakes we were promised.
