>people are complaining you can't group with friends nor communicate in Dead By Daylight
>these same people didn't buy Evolve
Lol
Is submit Destiny.
All my console friends were stoked as fuck for it, thought it to be something out of a Chris Roberts dream universe.
Turned out to be Halo/warframe

Evolve would have been fine as a f2p game which the devs intended it to be. But 2k forced it to be full price.

>blunder
even if its shit, over $500 million dollars in preorders alone isnt a blunder
>>341594239
>What went wrong?
Nothing really. Hype up expensive multiplayer game -> Lots of people buy it -> game is shit so people leave -> take down servers, so you dont have to pay for them
It made crapton of $$$, which is the only thing devs/publisher cares about
>is there a bigger blunder in recent memory?
no

The problem is it's a 60 dollar game where playing with friends is always required. 240 dollars to play the game properly.

Fair enough, didn't it cost them 500mil to develop though?

>everquest next
still hurts with the promise of good AI. Singleplayer games suck now after playing tons of MP, everything is predictable patterns.

nah, it will cost 500mil for the 10 years of content theyre planning.
probably 100 on the game and 400 on marketing

i was hyped until they showed actual gameplay, some of the features sounded neat but the game just screamed failure. wonder how all the backers and people who bought landmark feel

if you're a helpless scrub sure
Nosgoth was a real weird project, but kinda fun, never left beta.
>>341595058
Still has a pretty big community. It's just not the next CoD like Activision wanted.
>>341594239
>Is there a bigger blunder in recent memory?
Yeah, actually.
