ITT: Colossal failures
The game was financially successful
all that matters
>inb4 a bunch of well received and popular games.
>>340431165
obligatory
>>340431775
Considering it's still going I'd say it's at least semi-successful.
>>340431165
Didn't they just rename it and keep trucking?
Last I heard it was pretty big with battle royale.

>>340433197
Except jak 2 wasn't a failure?
>>340431165
It wasn't. They just rebranded another shitty game as fast as they could to profit from the DayZ hype. It was all lies from the start, they never planned anything for this game.
Watch Dogs.And Watch Dogs 2. Screenshot this post.
>>340432916
>being this ass mad.
I dont even play overwatch, go for a walk or something.

Yeah. AFTER.

>>340432874
That actually sold really well.
It's also not a terrible game, it just didn't live up to what was originally promised.
>>340433057
>C&C 4
I don't know what you're talking about, anon. Was there a C&C game released after Red Alert 3? That one got a lot of shit but it was decent.I'm not mad because C&C4 exists, I'm mad because that FPS Tiberium got cancelled for 'quality reasons' and C&C4 got shoved out the door
>>340433307
welp looks like i cant read
>>340432134
Someone, now unemployed in the industry, must have thought hero shooters were the next big thing, which it clearly isn't. Only Blizzard pulled it off with massive shilling, fall controversies they probably fueled and endless fan service rule 34 to get all the young boys attention because clearly women don't actually play video games.
>>340433757
>the most successful thing Rockstar has ever done

>>340433504
The gameplay was shallow as fuck, but this fucking cyber-nord/viking world was 10/10
horrible story
unlikable characters
it only looks good on screenshots
technical mess shit
horrible combat system

You personally not liking it does not make it a failure.

Bloody embarrassing when the original mod is still better than the standalone

Literally fucking why
Strange, I went through my folder and there isn't a single picture for MN9
Obsidian didn't get milions of $$ beacause of 1% on meta
game was better that F3 in every single thing
>>340434659
Colossal failures, games that didn't succeed in any form.
Calling GTA:O a colossal failure is simply false.
>>340433943
I liked the gameplay but it was kind of clunky along with the menus.
like you said though, the setting was 10/10 cool
>>340434846
Yeah the meta critic score shit was dumb but they shouldn't have agreed to it in the first place
best fallout btw
>>340432038
I have no idea where they're making all their money.
>>340434534
But wasn't 3 the colossal failure?
Legends got canceled before it was released.
>>340434861
yeah, in you shekeles-orientaited head
![Evolve_Box_Art[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/NR95g9f.png "Evolve_Box_Art[1].png")
It was a pretty good game. Then they decided to charge people out the ass for it and killed it before launch.
>>340435134
>Good game
No
balanced was fucked to all hell

>>340431775
just cuz u can’t comrepehdnable the situational understand in to they of those that spoked to the point in understandable them and then comprehend what their said to them and until then dont spoke

I wouldn't be surprised if it actually did well.

>Stillborn fans still can't fathom the idea that Overwatch's success is founded on it being a good game
ITT: Games /v/ wish had failed miserably but in fact were perfectly successful from a financial standpoint, with maybe a handful of posts that understand what failure actually fucking means

It wasn't even that bad.
>>340435706
Literally nobody in the world thought it was good.
>>340435689
duly noted, now back to neofag with you
>>340434983
It being the only decent multiplayer space game
>>340431165
I will admit to the shame of actually buying this game, but the PVP was enough to keep me engaged for over100 hours
it at least controlled better as a TPS than Stand Alone did
>>340435426
They're not wrong. They just did a shit job of obsfucating how truly little they actually think and know of gamers. Thankfully the AAA companies have learned from the mistakes of the past
>>340432916
>being this fucking assblasted
Honestly it doesn't matter if you even like overwatch or not,battleborn was a huge fucking flop, and there's no denying it
>>340435269
The worst part is they purposely moves away from the quirky fun from underground because they thought the fans didnt like it
>>340433779
>clearly women don't play vidya
Why does this need mentioning?
Rule 34 to get the young boys interested is all you needed to say- mentioning female gamers is like describing a chef's dishes and then mentioning how there are no deer in the restaurant.
It's irrelevant.
>>340432771
It made a ton of cash before it too, its just that EA jews are so greedy that they wanted it to make much more.
![Diablo_III_cover[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/yhrFscj.png "Diablo_III_cover[1].png")
>>340436019
Oh don't even try to fucking pretend that's not entirely the case.
You have people unironically posting Watch Dogs and TOR for god's sake, when 2 seconds in google will tell you neither of those games were failures despite how shitty they both were.
Sad truth is garbage is successful all the time, no matter how much you or anyone else wants to believe otherwise.
Pic fucking related.
>>340436038
>Decent
Well, I'll give you this. It's an average game
>Multiplayer
I won't give you this one. Multiplayer doesn't work for plenty of people thanks to the peer to peer infrastructure. Not to mention there isn't actually anything to do multiplayer wise. I also don't think Frontier are making bank off of Elite Dangerous as they have to constantly charge out the asshole for features that were supposed to be base game.
>>340435652
It's Valvedrones.
>>340431165
you know, that way of coding a reflection on water isn´t even half stupid. It works if you don´t look too close and is light on resources. The only mistake the devs made was not having a better filter of what actualy get´s rendered on the reflection.
>>340431165
>Actually have a brother that defends this thing up and down, even after the entire fucking fiasco including its rename
The fuck is wrong with people?
>>340433757
To think that a single car can pretty much ruin the entirety of online.
>>340436765
I can't believe how crazy that sounds on text and is 100% true. What the fuck were they thinking?
>>340436494
Everything that is the single player experience is possible in MP. I'm not saying it's perfect, but if it's agreeable that it's the only decent single player space game, there's not much to be argued against for the MP. My whole EVE crew dropped EVE for this game for months. It not being a huge thing after that is irrelevant. They game had already been purchased, and they had a fucking load of fun while they were at it, always saying to warp to each other for catching PvP.
>>340436669
>Defends it
How??
>>340436765
>>340437013
What do you mean?
I haven't played that shit game since it first came out.

Who knows? They could be talking about the up armored Karuma, the new Insurgent, they could have been talking about the fucking Rhino which I'm pretty sure you've been able to buy from day 1. Shit online setup. Just takes others longer than skme to realize.
>>340437132
They released a rather cheap armored that can withstand explosives, gunfire, etc. All players do is drive that and nothing else whilst chucking explosives.
It single-handedly killed the freeroam lobbies.
>>340431165
I can't believe I actually bought this ...
Probably the most naive purchase I ever made. It was the first time I ever bought into an Alpha game and I got fucked so hard.

Everyone dismissed Battleborn since it released around the same time as OW, but they're really not very similar. They're also about equally fun. Fuckin Blizzard, man.
>>340435140
It actually looked interesting when it was presented. What a deception.

And he constantly buys its microtransactions. Again, what the fuck.
>>340437639
I wasn't reading /v/ threads about this when I bought it. I had a good friend at the time and he convinced me.
I was drunk and had extra cash kicking around so I made the purchase. Still mad about it.
>>340438146
>buys its microtransactions
He's deep in denial. Don't bother with the subject any longer. He'll learn the hard way soon enough.

what in the actual fuck is going on with the reflection in the lake
how do you fuck up reflections so hard that an object 100 feet away is reflecting something 2 feet away from you like that, in a way that is completely physically impossible
>>340431304
Look at the reflection of the speed sign.
>>340435306
Has anyone really been far?
It was so bad the devs decided to never made a game like it ever again.
>>340431165
It wasn't a colossal failure it just didn't sell to many units the first week. Probably because of 2
>>340437296
Kek, that ending was perfect.
>>340431165
>ITT: Colossal failures
> ITT: Colossal failures
Wasn't this game just a massive scam? Surely a game can't fail if the developers put in as little effort as possible in the first place.
>>340439283
It was so much of a colossal failure that the only stat published by EA about it was the amalgamate of the amount of hours played by owners
This was received so poorly Ubishit actually decided to a skip a year in AC releases.
This was pulled from steam for sucking so hard.
>>340437607
>make fun of battleborn being dead, which is basically fucking is. Go look at the current players and tell me it isn't
That makes sense
>Call overwatch dead, when it's insanely popular
You can call the game shitty if you want, but it's infinitely more popular and played than battleborn
Does anybody know anyone that plays this shit?
>>340439882I put money in that game

>>340438451

>>340431165
What ever happened with that game? I know about the initial controversy and name change but is the game still going? Is it still on Steam? I saw a game on Steam recently that looked like the same kind of game and had the same font that Day Z and Infestation had, but it was called something else

>>340440169
Previously we had to submit our grant proposals to a film commission. Which was a bit weird but at least they judge our proposals on artistic merit. And they have rejected a few as well. The new Game fund consists of game industry professionals. Let’s just say that it’s easier to explain games to art people that to explain art to games people.
There’s also a few rules in the Game fund that are different and less art-minded than those of the Film fund. Like they will only cover up to 50% of your production budget, eg, as opposed to up to 85% if you make a film.
Government support for the arts is sadly dwindling as right wing politicians take control. If we don’t want to lose civilization entirely, something needs to be done to support more non-commercial art. The game industry, with its much touted millions of dollars, could easily cause a global cultural revolution by spending a tiny fraction of its budgets on a few promising artists. Maybe some of the more forward looking studios and publishers will start realizing this soon. There’s a lot to be gained from expanding the market and improving the social and cultural esteem for games, including dollars.
>>340440463
They completely changed its name to something else. For some reasons a few morons actually enjoy it.

>>340436494
If you play it with a squad it always instances you together (it was the east they could do but whatever its something)
The game is fun if you play it with you squad on RES and Warzones, PvP is decent and the power play mechanics can be fun when you actually accomplish something.
When Star Citizen rolls in this will probably die

>>340446858
>>340447797
It was a hastily hacked together assets from another cancelled game. Of course it was going to be shit. The cancelled game was utter fucking trash too.

>>340432134

this was the game that freed me
>>340432134
I'd get it just for the singleplayer if it was all like 20-30 dollars. The MOBA/multiplayer shooter shit just looks so boring, I can't believe someone thought it was a good idea.
Borderlands 3 when, Randy?
Nobody mentioned HAZE yet?
Supposedly GOTY and a black horse of the respective year that it was released in?
Halo and CoD killer of its time?
>>340437331

>greedy Jews finally getting their just deserts
If they hadn't kept nearly everything behind a pay wall this might've been an actual success.
>>340431304

Pretty sure we will get a GTA this generation, but not two GTAs like last gen. They will be able to make even better looking and bigger worlds with the new hardware. GTA V was already pretty impressive on last gen so imagine what they'll be able to do the the next few years. If they develop GTA VI the same time they did GTA V, then we'll get VI somewhere around 2018.

I'm almost glad it wasn't released to ruin the fucking lore

i wonder what happened to them. it wasn't their first project they put up on kickstarter

>jews gonna jews
>reason why Obsdian / Neo Black Isle disbanded (again)
I will literally never buy a Jewnimax game, and that goes for Doom and Wolfenstein 2 unless they stop being such fucking kikes.
I mean they drove Carmack out of gaming too, fuck Zenimax.

If I recall correctly, the reason for the reverse Midas touch was focus group testing where underages whined it was too cartoony. Funny how that worked out
>that ending
>that shitstorm
>that everything
The day EA got dunked into a giant pit of shit by everyone, even normies. They had to create a massive and expensive PR campaign to combat the truth.

Given how gaming development works, possibly it was really good, but they fucked up the micro transaction system, and their spirits had already crushed so they cancelled it.
As far as I know, some people talk highly of it, others thought the system was imbalanced.

Watch_dogs 2 presentation was just a couple of hours ago

I saw ads for it at the central square of my country's capital every day for ~1 month. Yet people still don't know what it is.

Sorry for your downy brother, but your parents should have had that ultrasound.
>>340435272
There's always situations like with Prey 2 where the publisher is just a fucking ass.
>>340439679
How can they keep fucking up these games? Unity was fun, just shit at release, Syndicate has zero redeeming qualities.
It is like every AC game has one good thing about it, but they feel to capture each of them, not only that subsequent releases are worse.
>>340440116
This one is just poetic justice.
>>340448675
I didn't even know it existed. Had no clue it was ever announced, no nothing. Only way I found out about it was the shitposting wars with Overhype.
I wouldn't have touched it anyway if I knew who made it.
>>340453760
Usually the publishers are to blame. I'm sure Bioware at some point wanted to deliver on multiple endings that you are building up to the whole trilogy but then EA said them "no, too expensive, do that instead"
Same shit with fallout4, it's garbage not because Todd or Hines are retards, but because Zenimax wanted to make more money so the went for the "cinematic" approach.
>>340454314
what are you talking about? Syndicate is better than unity in like every way possible.
>This Piece of shit
>>340454675
I'm sure Todd, being a massive jewish faggot, had something to do with FO4 being garbage.
