>>687824319I wonder if they're going to start cutting back on the amount of money they use to make these games and actually try to put effort into them with the smaller budget that they will have. I feel like they think that a game having a high budget will make it automatically good, which is not the case at all.
>>687824319Where are all the gamers? Why does every community online post covid feel either empty or filled with pajeets?
>>687824319Starfield is doing fine
Complete gamer victory.
You left out a fair number of flops. It's understandable as they were forgettable games but>Redfall>Foamstars>Suicide Squad>Skull and Bones>ForspokenJust to name a few. Even then I'm leaving some I'm sure.
>>687824601Covid made normalfags realize how ruined this hobby is. They bailed.
>>687825001OP only named games released in 2024.
>>687825001>Suicide SquadI completely keep forgetting that this exists lmao
>>687824319>>Persona 3 Reload floppedIt didn't but it's obviously not a contender.Unironically the Monkey game is the biggest GOTY contender... because it has not competition.
>>687824319Don't forget that AC Shadows will flop too. If we're lucky it might kill the rest of Ubiflop's stock with it.
>>687824319SUICIDE SQUAD BADDIESWE ARE OUTLIVING>concord>foamstars>redfall>gollum>dragon's dogma 2WE FUCKING WON
Don't forget the disaster that was Homeworld 3
did tekken 8 really flop or was it just a normal fg release
>>687825342Didn't it sell like 1m?
>>687825162Shit Refall and Forspoken were last year. Suicide Squad and Skull and Bones were definitely 2024 flops though.
>>687825505If it didn't sell 10 million copies it's a flop
>>687825505It's the fastest selling Atlus game ever.
>>6878255051 million in the first week. Fastest selling Atlus game ever. It would have sold more since then. It won't have the total sales of Persona 5 over its lifetime but it is far from a flop when you consider Atlus is a AA developer working on small budgets and Reload was a C-team project.
>>687825505AA game, right? No need to sell that much on the first place.
>>687824319>zzz success>wuthering wave success>black myth wukong success
>>687825573Yeah spot-on those two!
>>687824319you're really reaching including some of these. Foamstars? Remasters of TLOU2 and Persona 3? Dustborn? those were never going to be mega hits that broke records. i don't know why you left out Street Fighter 6 either, that garbage flopped out 9 months ago when sales dried up.
>>687825421Uh, Foamstars is still alive (somehow) and soon will go F2P.
>>687826041They're still worth mentioning as notable flops of 2024 faggot-kun.
>>687825989>gachatrashWe're talking about video games ITT.
>3 Square Enix entriesHe knows no fear.
>>687824601I stick around for news on Tendie games but I mostly found new hobbies. I witnessed the glory days of video games, but vidya is for fags now.
>>687826126ZZZ has more gameplay than any of the games listed by OP.
>>687826114I was agreeing with you.
>>687824319>Visions of Mana floppedGood, there are unironic marketer shills trying to prop up that shovelware, glad their efforts were for naught.
>>687826297As does chess, but its not on the list either.
>>687826126Sorry about that, I thought we were talking about woke flops
I wonder what these games have in conmon...
>>687826378Because chess actually sells. This thread is about shit games that flopped.
>>687824319Maybe make games that people actually want to play?Shocking, I know.
Was there any successful game this year? AAA or otherwise?
>>687826584Wukong
>>687826584ENTER
>>687826584The good ones.
>everything I dont like flopped despite the fact they are still in business>I want everything to fail cause I failed
>>687826650>t. bought Foamstars at full price
Gen X and older millennials are either gaming less and less (the gamer dads), only playing sports games and Call of Duty five hours a week (normalfags) or just quitting gaming as a hobby.At the same time the industry has failed to make zoomers and gen alpha kids "premium customers", zoomers just play F2P GAAS and and children just play stuff like Roblox and phone games.
>>687826584Mostly indie.
>>687825450alternatively please forget it
>>687826584Wukong and Balatro I guess. Also Tactical Breach Wizards apparently vastly exceeded dev expectations.
>>687826885I don't think it's possible to make the younger generations care about these kinds of games when it takes you 5-6 years to put out a game. Remember when you could play Final Fantasy VIII and then IX would come out the next year and then X the year after that? Gone. Zoomers never knew those days. How do you develop an attachment and a preference for these games in that climate?
>>687826627Funny, I thought /v/ hated games with monkey MC's.
>>687826885Good, everything globohomo touches turns to shit. And they have no option but to keep doubling and tripling down despite people losing interest. It's just desperate pearl clutching by the global elite at this point.
>>687826584Unicorn Overlord sold well for Vanillaware standards, with at least half a million within a month.
>>687827308>And they have no option but to keep doubling and tripling down despite people losing interestThat is also where price hikes come from. The growth of gaming has stalled and the corporations have no idea how to expand their customer base anymore so they try to squeeze more money out of their existing customers.
>>687824319Starfield is literally the most successful new ip of the generation and proof that avoiding woke shit and dei keeps your game successful and thriving.
>>687826992>Remember when you could play Final Fantasy VIII and then IX would come out the next year and then X the year after that? Gone.This makes me sad. SE used to be able make really unique and cool games yearly, with time to spare for other projects, to now MAYBE making a game every 6 years (unless it ends up in dev hell).
>>687826992this is a good point, the dev times are way too long. and a part of the problem is that zoomers have really poor attention spans, and gen alpha will be even worse. f2p live service slop is the only thing zoomers and gen a will be able to play
>>687827570Uh oh our games aren't selling well. Should we scale back the blatant propaganda and focus on making games that gamers are interested in?No just continue churning out low effort products at an even higher price!
>>687827661Anything with a Bethesda-AAA-budget that is still sub 3m after a fucking year is a flop. By the way it came out in 2023.
>>687826885>zoomers just play F2P GAAS This. There's a reason for the gacha boom during the covid era. Young people dont have money so they play f2p games, only occassionally spending during big banner updates. Since they already commited they have no time to spend 70 dollars on new games they know wont have a thriving online community compared to the f2p games they already play so it will feel like a wasted purchase. Notice how all the big sellers this year like elden ring sotc already has a big meme community so zoomers can talk about it online. This 70-80 dollar price hike is going to kill vidya because people will only be buying maybe 1 or 2 games a year these days.
>>687826885That explain why we keep getting remakes and remasters.
>>687825162>Starfield>TLOU2>2024Are you ok?
>>687827809Literally bigger and more popular than fallout.
>>687824601Because a lot of people burned out and are doing other things. covid was people doing shit they normally wouldn't do because they had no other options.
Granblue Relink and Kunitsu Gami are the only games worthy of GOTY so far.
Gamers have been taking it in the ass for a while in this industry. Nice to see the industry itself take it in the ass this year.
>>687826584Palworld was a massive giga hitEnshrouded, despite being in Palworld's shadow, was also a big successManor Lords was another breakout indie hit I believe Helldivers WAS successful, but I guess as a GAASlop you may not count it for getting ruined later or whatever
GTA6 is unironically the "sink or swim" moment of this industry now. 2024 has shown that there is no IP big enough to be immune to failure. GTA6 needs to set the world on fire, bring in a revolution, something that all generations will sink their teeth into for years and years and pay out the ass for. That's the spark the AAA industry needs to prove that gaming is still valuable.Anything short of earth-shattering will only continue the downwards spiral. If it somehow flops gaming is officially going back to being a basement-nerd hobby.
>>687828319People said the same for diablo 3 back in the day. Where people thought the game would be a cure for cancer.
>>687828413Diablo 3 was just another step down the dark path for Blizzard and it will be remembered as such by future generations.
>>687824319DD2wonPoorfags lost
>>687828319>If it somehow flops gaming is officially going back to being a basement-nerd hobby.We can only hope.
>>687828521>AAA games sells sub 3m copiesCopium.
>>6878262384 if you count Visions of Mana. Even though it was built by an external team, it was still developed AND published by Square Enix.
>>687828319All you need to do is make a good game. This is a year of flops because the industry has decided to make bad games. I would make a good game instead.
Are things really flopping as badly as /v/ says?
>>687828771Yes. Just look at the sinking ship that ia ubisoft.
>>687828606Its funny you retards think a few month sales make or break giant publishers, its still going to continue selling for years as they continue making more games and all you will do is seethe the entire time
>>687828723>I would make a good game instead.Quick, someone tell the suits!
>>687828852Depends on the publisher. Ubisoft isn't doing so hot. Capcom will be fine even with multiple flops in a row.
>>687828852Haha, who's talking about a publisher? This entire thread is about laughing at individual games. You need to lay off the crack rock there Anon.
>>687828941>I don't understand, we are making good games>look at all these trend and design document boxes we checked!
>>687829025Ubusoft will literally be saved by the French government. Too big to fail.
>>687829142Make a good game then.
The industry went woke.And now they're going broke.How are Jews coping knowing their propaganda is old and busted, and that they're the out of touch old boomers now?
>>687824319>good games flop>shit games thriveStop this crazy cruise. I want to get off.
>>687829084You people can't properly explain what contributes as a flop, its just oh this feels low or this other game sold better therefore this flopped
>>687829142Remember when Concord was going to become Sony's most important IP?
>>687829398Hasn't it?
What's next for the globalist information gatekeepers now that they know people are getting fed up with their garbage media?
>>687829398Concord isn't funny to lay into anymore.There's no resistance to it anymore, they don't have any 'last plan to save it' or an 'attempted relaunch' on the horizon. It's just over.
>Tekken 8 floppedWhat?
>>687829575Trump
>>687827995>granblue shitstink>706 players in gamedead multiplayer game. literally unplayable for anyone buying the game 1 month after release. how the hell is that goty?
>>687829707>multiplayer
>>687827995>GranblueYou don't want it. Trust me.
>>687827843The biggest gachas also put out new content frequently enough that it actively eats into time and attention you have to play other games.
Kinda crazy that we would get one, maybe two massive flops a year before woketards took over.
>>687824558Probably not since it's already been discovered that taxpayer money is being used to make some of these.
>>687830157Hobby's dead bruh...
>>687824319Woke, remakes, sequels, all weak garbageBut monkey is strong
How about Indiana Jones?
>>687830501guaranteed flop. nobody under the age of 70 even knows who indiana jones is. also the gameplay looks like dogwater
>>687824319Starfield, Dawntrail, TLoU, Tekken 8, VII Rebirth, DD2, P3R and Visions of Mana all sold millions and are thus all relative successes. Not everything is going to break 10 mill, but all of those games sold in the millions.The only actual flops there are Concord, Dustborn and Foamstars. You are conflating these 3 games flopping with the other games that were successful. Those other games may not have put up Wukong numbers, but they were still successful.
>>687827894THE YEARS ARE BLENDING TOGETHER NOW
>>687824319>rightwingers haven't made ANY games ever (non-woke games don't count)>the West has gotten more and more leftist since 1792>woke games continue to be funded from taxpayer money>w-we're winning guys!
>>687828413Diablo 3 was pretty open about being shit long before release. I guess since gaming didn't die after D3 it did everything right in your timeline, though.
>>687828771No, half of those games were successful. Those retards think that flop equals "I don't like this game".
>>687827995based Granblue Relink enjoyer. i agree. GotY pretty much comes down to Granblue Relink, Shadow of the Erdtree, Marvel Rivals, or maybe Sonic x Shadow Generations in a month or two for me, if Shadow goes as crazy as it looks like it will.
>>687830986>dustborn >not a right wing game design false flag Look at this idiot.
>>687830704Not to mention it's on a console no one owns.
>>687830774>relative successes
>>687830774No company wants line to go down, and all of those games are made by companies heavily invested in line going up.
>>687830986>rightwingers never made any games if I don't count games made by rightwingers Kindly, kill yourself
>>687831186>goty is objectively bad games that I like because I like themstupid
>>687831681not leftist =/= rightwingkill yourself
>>687824319Why do wow troons insist other games flopped instead of playing the tranny within? Is it not fun? Wow troons need to be executed publicly, for the good of mankind.
>>687824319Concord didn't simply flop. It failed and flopped so hard that a proper word to express it doesn't even exist.
>>687827894Flops that transcend even time!
Starfield really does feel like it came out this year. Are we in a time warp?
>>687830774Sales alone do not determine success. The budget of a game will have a sizable effect on whether or not a million is enough. SE directly stated that they were money, and that Rebirth underperformed. How is that not a flop?
>>687826126Gacha shit makes more money than every triple A game combinedSorry Boomer, no more bing bing wahoo for youYou're either gambling on girl rolls or you're not playing modern vidya
>>687832672You keep posting this shitty graph, but you completely ignore the fact that the size of gaming on other platforms did not shrink with the rise of mobile. It's a completely different market from console/PC. Who cares if it makes more? There are other industries that make more than video games too. Mobileshit will never be real video games.
>>687832672Do gacha games even have gameplay? I've never played one.
>>687826584Do you count Shadow of the Erdtree?
>>687824319>left out Suicide Squadlollmao
>>687828771Yes. But it also doesn't matter because none of these companies are going under and instead are just becoming another part of the Zombie Corporation monoliths of the WestThe problem has transcended to the monetary worth of the dollar and if people continue to accept it overseas as opposed to any individual product
>>687832672>vidoe game
>>687832829>Who cares if it outcompetes everything! We still have microshit to feed us sloppaThat's not the win you think it is
>>687833028You're ignoring my point entirely. Mobile did nothing to dent the PC/Conole market. It is a different market entirely and should not be compared to it. There are no similarities between the two, so why do you act like they are the same thing?
>>687824319industry is still dead if any demake gets released in any year
>>687826584Palworld is one of the most succesful launches of the past few years and i believe is the best selling game so far. Wukong is not that far behind. HD2, ddespite shooing their audience with time, sold very well too. Enshrouded did Great too. Strangely enough it's the new IPs overall that have been performing great and most of them are actually fun and deserving of success, at least...As long as they're not Western DEI Slop, of course
>>687832565Because I said so and companies I like can't flop!!!!
>>6878243192024 was a good year for mech fags
>>687830105I blame the ultra mega faggot of FKHR
>>687832831Sure it does, just grab your credit card!
>>687824601
>>687826584lethal company, ac6, stellar blade, wukong, are a few that comes to mind
>>687833148>Mobile did nothing to dent the PC/Console market. It did though
Stellar Blade GOTY
>>687824319Unicorn Overlord won and is GOTY
>>687833545Floppa...
>>687833386This pie chart literally doesn't line up with your own graph. Your graph shows that mobile went down year over year in 2022 too.
>>687833386Also, nice cherry picking the year that fits your narrative.
