So no one is even negatively talking about this game? What the hell went wrong? The buzz on this game feels like an obscure nippon import.
Haven't really played the game yet but is it really that bad?
femenism :/
>>341880478
No one cares because the SJWs got a hold of it. And rightfully so.

what was sjw about this game?

/v/: The Posts
Mirror's Edge 1 was a cult classic. Adding an open-world and collectibles turned off the few fans of the original, while still being too obscure for casuals to care.
As it turned out the number of ME fans is much smaller than their vocal fanbase would lead you to believe. EA fell for the meme and didn't realize this.
It's just not as optimized or good looking as the first one that's all
>>341880823
Yep. Do you have a problem with that?
>>341880805
There's a woman in it
>>341881078
Yeah, I do have a problem with it. You're acting like degenerates as if it's normal.
>>341881112
A minority woman, as a matter of fact. Not that that's wrong, necessarily. But let's be clear.
>>341880805
Didn't EA bring in Sarsleezian herself to direct development? I thought they did.
when did it even come out
>>341880839
>He also revealed that the original game sold around 2.5 million units, and that the company fully supported the series and were eager to make a sequel.
>“We sold about 2.5 million units with Mirror’s Edge and people haven’t even blinked at it – like, ‘of course we’re going to make a new Mirror’s Edge’. The whole company has been behind it” he said.
apparently this game had been prototyped for several years until they zero'd in on a specific vision.
>>341880839
I really liked the first one but all the news about it scared me of it.
>>341881327
>>341881045
>let us cake the whole fucking screen in screenspace reflections which break during moment in a movement focused game
Art director needs to be shot.
>>341880478
well the first game was rather shit. so who cares about the sequel
>>341881327
>You're acting like degenerates as if it's normal.
Way to not make sense. I have no idea what in the fuck you're talking about anymore. If you don't like /v/ culture then get out, douche.
>>341881393
The first game also had an asian woman? The random cover reveal made /v/ sperg the fuck out since the angle and lighting implied she was a random brown woman.
also http://www.gamerheadlines.com/2014/12/ea-replied-fan-petition-remove-anita-sarkeesian-mirrors-edge-2-game-development/# the anita thing was a baseless rumor
>>341881327
boo fucking hoo big shoots, want a tissue?
I beat it last night it's an ok game . Combat is still ass, sentinels are a retarded only kick them or you lose enemy. The world is big enough to just run around and be faith but for an open world there's nothing to do but trials and collect random things that are just there to do, provide nothing to the world except the voice recordings , it's a solid 7, if you like ME, 6 otherwise .
>>341881427
right before e3, no mention of it during EA's e3 for some reason
>>341881543
This is literally what happened
>Our game had great art direction with tons of colors and nice textures, what should we do for our sequel?
>Make everything cast reflections
>Will do boss
>>341881393
but she was in the first one too
>>341880839
It's more that they completely fucking failed to appeal to the people who liked the original.
>>341882020
pasta pizza parmigiano
>>341882537
I know right
>>341881697

This doesn't look like native 1080p. This looks like it's internally rendered at 720p and poorly upscaled to 1080p.
What the fuck?
I loved Mirrors Edge but I won't be buying ME2.
Open world sounds awful and has no appeal to me.
Art Style looks significantly worse.
They didn't fix the combat, and from what I hear made it worse.
Its a reboot so I've heard, so as little as I cared about ME story, I care even less for ME2.
First one is the main reason though, I don't want an Open World game, I wanted Mirrors Edge 2, just more levels, advance the plot, fix up combat. It wasn't too hard.
V aint the place to ask about this game, OP. As soon as the sjw meme was attached to it all the idiots who didnt play it came to argue politics and meme on the game Shit posting ine every thread.
Personally i enjoy it a lot. They brought back the speed runner created mechanics, Has everything i loved in the first one plus more. The running and combat afe fun. The running challenges are cool, and i like the user made challenges.
>>341880478
Origin only.
Would probably buy iton saleif I didn't have to use this cancerous platform.
Who was in the focus groups that wanted Mirror's Edge to be more combat-oriented anyway?
>>341884043
Pretty much all of these
People would talk about it more, whether positively or negatively, if they knew that the game is out.
Funnily enough, EA totally forgot what marketing is this time around.
>>341884806
this
>>341881430
bullshit, i remember they made it because Reddit nagging it for sequel.
The EA actually reject it because low sales
Same thing what will happen with mafia 3, remember this es jay double u
>>341885047
>the only marketing is a poster of this ugly mug in some stores
Holy shit, who thought this was gonna sell copies?
>>341885362
They're retarded for making her uglier.
>>341885362
They must've missed her ethnicity, she looks like a bleached nigger.
I like it, but it's largely unused potential. Obvious that development time was cut short. Characters are not interesting enough and relationships with them are shallow because of the pacing. Has the problems every open world game suffers from, including the collection bullshit that's reminiscent of infamous. Take that boring side stuff away and it's short as fuck too. Would've been better as a runner MMO in eye candy city.
>>341885362
>>341885639
That is a messed up art work. Dont know why they used it. She looks nothing like that anywhere else in game or otherwise.
just buy the fucking game you ignorant shitlords
>>341885823
She looks Thai there.
>>341886012
I think it's the angle. I've seen shots of her that look fine, and some that are full mongoloid. Probably didn't put that much work into it considering it's a 1st person parkour game. Which begs the question of why they're bothering to use her face as marketing material when she's the least important aspect of the game.
I don't want to play as Ms. "Fuck me in the butt" Faith
>>341886419
They should have just used the art work or screens where she looks better. Worst thing is that it's the actual cover art.
>>341880478
Failed to appeal to the fans of the original, failed to make a game interesting to the normies.
>>341885823
shows how much you actually go outside and interact with people you autist
>>341880839
This,i love the first one,played the demo of this shit and it's so fucking casualized that hurts.
>>341880478
honestly nothing is wrong with it. it got near the exact same reviews as ME1(mediocre). The only issue is they didnt market the game for shit. I never knew it was even near release until 2 days after release.
>>341880478
I didn't know it was out and don't frankly care, I lost all interest before I even saw gameplay. 'Open world' and 'more focus on combat' is all I needed to hear. Maybe I'll give it a shot when it drops to 5€ or less
>>341884043
Pretty much this. Open world was the biggest mistake.
>>341887272
>le op3n wurld meme again
The fears people had about open world ruining it never came true. Its a big open map but each area is unique, detailed and feels hand crafted for free running. Time trials and challenges everywhere you go.
There is also no focus on combat. They took guns out ffs. You can avoid every enemy.
>>341880478
>focused on the story
Anyone who says they played the first one for the story is either lying or an idiot. You got a better clue of how the world worked from the environment details rather than any cutscene that ME2 has.
>Open world
ME2 being open world was a mistake. Maybe a multiplayer only mode would have worked like that but they really should have kept it condensed to the small linear levels.
>>341880478
$60 seems too high a price for what they've changed from 1. I'll get it eventually since I really enjoyed 1.
>>341881045
It's because everything is real time rather than everything being baked in the first game.
>>341889327
>real time
>baked in
elaborate
>>341889327
the open world also makes the graphics worse a bit.
>>341890035
>what is google
>>341890035
Mirror's Edge had baked global illumination, ray tracing, and soft shadows pretty much everywhere. The lighting in ME2 is completely real time so obviously it won't look as good as even high end PCs have issues with real time GI and raytracing.
That's what devs get for raising expectations with prerendered garbage.
>>341880839
>Cult classic
Sure, a game published by fucking EA
>>341880478
The game wasn't that well known to begin with and EA did zero promotion for it leading up to release so hardly anyone is aware of its existence couple that with Denuvo meaning even pirates aren't playing it.
>>341885362
She looks like that caveman spongebob meme
>>341880478
>So no one is even negatively talking about this game?
Everything I heard about the sequel was setting off warning bells, so I stopped caring about it.
Seriously, the game has no audience. People who liked the first one hated the changes, and everyone else know nothing about the franchise period.
>>341880725
piss off delusional /pol/ack
no one cares, because ea got a hold of it
>>341890390
Like Dungeon Keeper or Nox or Syndicate or so many others? Sure.
EA employs shitty business practices, that doesn't mean every game published by them will be shit.
>>341881430
>apparently this game had been prototyped for several years until they zero'd in on a specific vision.
It took them years to make ME worse?
>>341891853
Pitching a prototype once in awhile isn't the same as straight game development anon. But yeah, this was the best they could come up with apparently.
>>341890390
newfag.
>>341891294
Aw shit nigga Nox was my joint
>>341890590
This
>>341880478
They took a linear game that was known for it's awesome parkour setups and instead made it an open-world game with collectathon missions. It was the update this game never needed, some things are better as linear games.
>unlockable moves
D.O.A.
They spent their marketing budget for ME2 on black celebrities to shill BF1 at E3.
>>341880478
I don't know. For me personally, something about the very first trailers just felt unappealing and I guess I mentally wrote the game off and didn't even try to keep up with any news or trailers about it. Even so, really does feel like EA/DICE didn't put much effort into promoting it.
Or maybe like someone else said, the audience for the game wasn't as big as they thought afterall, and that's why there's no natural buzz about it.
>>341881393
>Didn't EA bring in Sarsleezian herself
yes and people keep trying to pretend it didn't happen
>>341894692
no they didn't
she gave a talk to the studio and had nothing to do with this game
the fact that you incessantly try to spread lies about this suggests that you have some mental problem that you should seek therapy for
>>341894019
My dick enjoyed that pic
>>341880478
the writing is shit especially on the characters
I preordered, activated with a korean VPN and cleared the story a day before it was due to release ineurope.
I enjoyed it, but i kinda burned out on it from playing 3 days solid. I'll go back soon and clear out all the side content
>>341895837
>she gave a talk to the studio
so you admit she talked to them. she could have influenced them for this game as well as future projects
I've been worried about how badly they'll butcher the setting and Faith. I haven't looked it up from the moment it came out.
Is it terrible?
>>341880839
Stop this cult classic meme. It was a niche game that luckily turned it to be above mediocre. It didn't need a sequel.
>>341882020
screen space reflections are sexy....
>>341896119
she gave a generic talk
if you had a job at a corporation you would have gone to several of these
since you stalk jewnita you should also know that these speaking engagements are quite common for her, and how she makes her money
thanks to clever people such as yourself that go around the internet sperging about her, causing these businesses to pay her to blather on so they can separate themselves from you
>>341896119
>so you admit she talked to them. she could have influenced them for this game as well as future projects
what is a slippery slope fallacy?
>Let's just make it open world so we don't have to hire any level designers!
>>341896119
people are saying dice brought her in to work on the game though. that's not true. either way, judge the game based on itself. people were crying about some dev from crypt of the necrodancer but the game was still a lot of fun, and there were many bigger problems to point out than some faggot comment from the soundtrack producer or whoever it was.
>>341880478
An EA game with Denuvo didn't do well!?
STOP THE FUCKING PRESSES.
Also, Origin only on pc, and literally shows zero gameplay in any trailers and screenshots.
>>341880805
I remember I was hyped for the game then Anita appeared, they boasted about following her suggestion and my hype died down pretty quickly.
I am surprised I havent even followed it since, only now I realised that the game disappeared from my radar entirely at that moment.
I am not even sure what played bigger role, the fact they eat out of her hand with all this BS about difficulty and proud womyn representation or just the fact that pathological liar and person who slandered people was there all cozy with devs like she has anything to do with vidya.
Whatever that was, game just stopped existing for me since that moment.
>>341896869
>i literally regurgitate fabricated /v/ memes
Just so you know, all you idiots do is create a protection racket for Anita.
>>341897095
>losing customers creates a protection racket.
Ok
Finished the game and just have a couple more time trials (non-player created) left to finish before I pretty much 100% it
AMA hesitant gays
>>341897559
You reek of autism wherever you go, anon. You don't lose anyone customers. You post forged images to try to force memes, people point out that they're fake, people know the ebil misogynerds are harassing poor Anita again.
Meanwhile Anita gets tens of thousands of dollars to give vacuous speeches, and credited for influence for doing literally nothing.
All because being associated with you in any way, shape or form is worse for a business. You know, because you're garbage.
Can you even name a single large developer at this point that doesn't pretend to care what Anita Sarkeesian says?
![6FC5X4P[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/iutxeoI.png "6FC5X4P[1].png")
>>341898115
Even the fact she appeared there all cozy with devs is a message that devs fully approve of her BS.
I could get behind having different opinion if not the low level BS Anita chose to propagate it.
Of all the things said about /v/irgins her claims made me rage just because they were mostly made up and cherrypicked for the purpose of propagating her persona.
She went to a swamp and cried "Ogre" at every single frog at the damn swamp just so she could send villagers with torches and pitchforks at them and claim it as a win against misogyny./autism
>>341898853
>she appeared there all cozy with devs
It couldn't possibly just be her talking shit. Nope.
>>341899030
>her talking shit.
If this was the case Dice should have reacted.
They didn't.
And there is this.
https://twitter.com/ea_dice/status/446618092618387456
>>341898853
What exactly did Anita influence on ME2 that made it bad? Does open world = femnism now? Is it that the protagonist was an asian chick despite that being a thing back in 2010?
So she went to a studio that gave a talk and then they're instantly brainwashed? This is about the same influence as the developers just watched her youtube videos and agreed with it. She wasn't a consultant at the studio, she didn't make any choices on the project, and she didn't direct the game. Stop being a retard.
>>341899460
savage
>>341899568
She is a cancer's midas. Even without anita DICE is still shit.
>>341898853
Yes, anon, she's going to get invited to give talks by every AAA developer, because you spergs make paying her $40k to avoid having the opposing hate mob brought against their products cheap.
Just like the tards that go to milo jewnopoulos's speaking arrangements and spread red pant on themselves make him rich.
>>341899771
Ok so Anita had very little to no effect on the game, glad we agree.
>>341899961
You dont know that.
>>341880478
I hope Dishonored 2 ends like this.
>>341900178
But Dishonored 2 actually looks like it improves on just about everything while retaining what was good about the original.
>>341900062
I'm still waiting for ONE example of Anita's influence potentially ruining a feature or story point. If you're telling me there's no way to know then it probably doesn't fucking matter.
>>341884043
They would have never been able to pitch the same kind of game as the first one to EA.
>>341880839
>Adding an open-world and collectibles turned off the few fans of the original, while still being too obscure for casuals to care.
Nope. its great and im loving the game and look forward to getting the platinum trophy and getting some good dlc stages similar to the one we got for mirrors edge 1, but hopefully not carbon copies of it.
>>341882020
>>341882736
>>341881045
This is the only issue i have with the game.
Its still got the comfy vibes the 1st had, but some of the areas just aren't as pretty and unique as the original.
Ocean Pier and Regatta bay are the best looking areas, but aesthetically they make no sense.
A lot of platforms obstacles are just there for the sake of being there and its slightly noticeable sometimes
>>341900178
>I hope a game is shit
Why. Also like the other anon said it looks like it's improving on everything and it isn't falling for the open world meme like ME2 did.
>>341899961
I actually think if she had a chance to influence the game, the shit combat would go away, but, also, I think the populace would have responded negatively to the corporation.
Anita doesn't like violence, and she wants media to display capitalism successfully resisted against.
But EA thinks all games need to have the hitting, and they obviously are going to leave the game open for a sequel.
Although what I gather from the shift in marketing, is that at some point (probably the beta) they realized the game was a lame duck and stopped trying to market it.
I'll post my negative critique. The game is boring. Open world is just not as interesting as the finely tuned levels of the first game. Also, the side quests times are ridiculously short. So many retries and loading times.
>>341880478
they made faith ugly as fucking dog shit and didn't tell anyone it was coming out. fuck them
>>341880478
Open world is only the illusion of choice, there is no substance. Its a meme that needs to die.
>>341900668
I played it for 4-5 hours.
Took out the disc and put Odin Sphere in.
Haven't looked back.
>>341880478
They somehow managed to make an open world linear.
It's just SO
FUCKING
BORING
>>341899568
For me it was this.>>341898853
>>341899798
>she's going to get invited to give talks by every AAA developer
Dont care anymore, after whole shitstorm that went down I lost interest in modern vidya industry.
Dont misunderstand, its not that I lost interest because "Anita is bad so I wont buy your games anymore, its more on subconscious level".
For whatever reason after being called misogynist by media, game devs, bloggers, random mob on twitter lead by Anita I just got this unpleasant feeling somewhere in my stomach when ever I think about modern gaming.
For some reason vidya started to associate negatively on some subconscious level so now I am playing mostly older games.
Feel kinda weird about it because I have hundredths of $ worth of vidya on my psn account and in discs on shelves, stuff I bought because I was enthusiastic, because there was nice box, premium version or because it was bargain and just thinking about them makes me lose interest in playing, feel almost guilty.
The effect is even stronger when I think about games that made by some devs that engaged in this progressive BS, like fucking Bioware.
This shit not even depends on me at this point, just strong aversion,
>>341900674
I fucking hate Faith so much, not only does she look like a space nigger that's been curb stomped a couple hundred times, but her dialogue is cringy as fuck
In fact I believe that all dialogue in the game is trash, Faith goes out of here way to try to BTFO everyone and fails everytime
>>341880478
It's just a bad game. Every character is flat and boring, the story is fucking shit, and there are just random moments that don't make sense, like Faith disrespecting the police in the beginning and not getting put back in a cell or beaten.
>>341885362
How is she ugly? She's not as attractive as she was in the 1st one but I don't understand this meme
>Mirror's Edge before Anita and GG
Good game although a bit short
>Mirror's Edge now
OMG LOOK AT THIS PANDERING FUCKING SJW
>>341898853
The original game had several cool female characters including the protagonist. Why did they even need her there?
