what happened?
>>692183721The modern audience strikes again.
>>692183721There's more people looking at the Steam charts than playing the game
Made by sweet baby inc writer starring a pajeeta who beats up white men. Pretty much the expected result is zero sales. I'm sure there will be some legendary copium from sbi that the message is all that matters.The message? Unknown
>>692183758>>6921838308 more games are planned for the remaining 8 "Unknown 9"sIt's like octopath traveller but each character is its own game
Never even heard about it. Could be that.
More like unknown toilet
>>692183854>Made by sweet baby inc writerWhy aren't they advertising that fact front and center? Aren't they proud of themselves?
>>692183721Bamco fully embraced DEI
spare a thought for unknown 9 a kind and earnest game sent out to die
>>692183721Nothing. It turned out exactly as expected.
>>692184180>Why aren't they advertisingGood question. They don't even have a Wikipedia page unless you count the French one.
>>692183721I can't believe they thought this would sell.
I didn't play the first 8
>>692184319This is another Concord like situation. An unknown dev bought up before their first ever game releases with other multimedia stuff related to the ip already made.
>>692184337What even is this? Never heard of it
>>692184465>Never heard of itThat's because it's Unknown
>>692183721>concurrent players that low>check reviews >everybody reviewing it is saying it’s shit and it came bundled as a code with a CPU/GPU purchase Can’t even hardly get over 100 people to play a game that they got as a free code. I hope Bandai goes bankrupt and has to sell Xenosaga to Nintendo.
>>692184576lol i remember when deus ex was going to pull this shit 10 years ago before mankind divided flopped
>>692184576Yet another big hit for the Concordlike genre.
>>692184576kek what is this 2013
>>692183721Bandai Namco must be seething. They spent money on this shit. How tf did they get convinced by Sweet Baby?
>>692184686The gaming press. and astroturfing trannies.
>>692184576>coming soon Not anymore
>>692184590Wait, this in Bandai? Is this the reason they cancelled their One Piece/Nardo games?
Next for DEI chopping block
>>692183721Okay yeah the faggot shit came out and died pathetically. Very cool Bandai, now CHOP CHOP THOSE SPARKING ZERO DLC PACKS WON'T MAKE THEMSELVES!
This got a 5 from ign lol. Overall, sounds like a AA studio tried to make a AAA franchise game.
>>692183721Let me remind everyone that Bamco cancelled a lot of games, but they allowed this shit to be published.
Apparently the game is straight ass even when you don’t consider the sjw stuff.Also>montreal based studioWhat is it with this city? It has to be the sjw capital of the world
>>692184802>>692184686I'm sure they got their blackrock money.
>>692184731youre a discord schizonobody hates expedition 33
>>692184576How do I convince companies to give me millions of dollars to fund an obvious flop franchise?
Why do all these "new" franchises all look the same. They all fail pathetically, think nobody actually wants new stuff, and then everyone suffers slop for it.Why are they so dumb?
>>692183721Is this what the kikes wanted with the Blackrock money? To get everyone to shit on pajeets? Becsuse it is working lmao
>"Well done, U9. Now it's my turn!"
>>692184946>Why are they so dumb?purpose of a system is what it does. the purpose isn't to make money but propaganda
chuds have ruined the world of vidya
>>692184576>planned to create a giant multimedia project>but the core concept is bland and shittywhat were they thinking?
>>692183721Bandai be like>LET'S CANCEL ANIME GAMES AND THE NINTENDO PROJECT, THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT
>>692184940depends, are you jewish?
>>692185168Thankfully no.
>>692184576marvel ruined entertainment
>>692185202then you're out of luck, gentile
>>692184576the people who made this decision get paid millions every year

>>692184576By the way, issue 1 of the comic and 9 podcast episodes are already released lol
>>692183721It's unknown.Captcha: YGMMA
>>692185161Ah yes, another naruto game, just what we need.
>Name your game "Unknown"Ngmi
>>692185547Ah yes, another shitskin ugly woman game, just what we need, saar.
>>6921849401. girl pills
>>692185126>>but the core concept is bland and shittyWhat do you mean? Kim Belair worked on the writing
just you wait the modern audiences will surely buy this game
>>692184576>the unknown 9 storyworldliterally the first time i heard of this
>>692183721Western trash happened
>>692184452Sadly, I doubt it'll become as large a flop as it clearly had a small budget and looks like a ps3 game.
>>692185719>brand content manager>story architect
>Reflector Entertainment is a video game developer headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and a subsidiary of Bandai Namco Entertainment.Is there even good thing coming out of Montreal nowadays? I hope jeet completely took over that shit hole and make all the game dev living there homeless
>>692185719How conceited do you have to be to call yourself a "story architect"?
k-kino...
>>692186103Dang new dragon age looks lit
ALRIGHT WHAT AM I IN FORNO I DIDN'T PAY FOR IT
>>692183721Unexpected token
>>692186103someone got paid a lot of money to make thisand everyone in the studio probably gathered around to watch it and clapped when they saw it
>>692186103queer coded designs and costumes.
sweet baby ceo is the story architect, whatever that means, so it's instant woke flop
>>692184984>that CalArt smileIt's DOADOADOA
>>692186153>ALRIGHT WHAT AM I IN FORyour ssd having 55gb less in write endurance
>>692184940This is Bamco trying to expand their IP. They've been stuck on the same Dark Souls, anime arena fighter and samey games, they want to get new ones as their new company mission when they changed logo like 1-2 years ago.
This is economic terrorism, chuds.
>>692183721An average QA slave made more money testing this than it made in revenue total
>>692184984jews are just competing who can make the ugliest shit and still have people buy it
>>692186340They could've used that money to fund AC8 instead.
>>692183721>unpopular game flops>ITS BECUS WOOKE!!Maybe its because the game is just bad and it had zero marketing???
>>692185547Naruto sells. Hinata a cute.
>>692186353I'll do nothing again.
>cancels One Piece and Naruto, both would sell way more than this woke flop
>>692186464>>cancels One Piece and Narutothank g-d
>>692186103Bamco cancelled their Nintendo collaboration for this
Bamco actually wasted money on this woke slop
>>692186428Who are you quoting schizo?
>>692186552>build transmedia experiences
>>692184661Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.
>>692186428>just badYes, woke.
>game is called unknown 9>at any point in time, it occurs to you whether 9 people even are playing it
>>692186428>Maybe its because the game is just badand why is the game bad?>i-i-i-it just is...! there's not particular reason the game just happens to be bad for no reason! there's no possible explanation for it!!! no one could have predicted it would be bad!!!!!!!!!!!
developers lives are at steak
>>692185124seasoningbros...
Sucks that this game has nothing going for it. You can't even make funny Bazz memes. Just poo in the loo and misery.
>>692186103What's this. Pajeet game or something?
>>692186198>queer coded"Queer coded" newspeak post.
>>692184946You will see alot of games like this.Those game got greenlight in big number the last 10 years, paid with cheap DEI/blackrock loans with the promise from the woke social media marketers of a big new "modern audience".This, concord, dustborn are the tip of the iceberg, (well, most will be cancelled now, expect even a bigger surge of layoffs)
>>692186656Have you looked at it at all? It's clearly trying to have the scope of a AAA with a AA budget.
>>692186419Perhaps wanting to bring back interest in old IPs was why they did AC6 in the first place. We're also seeing some of their older titles remastered on Steam.
>>692186430No one gives a shit about naruto besides shitskins.
waitTHIS is Harada's mega project?
>>692186552>How do we reach the white piggu gaijin market...?>I know what pigs like, let's give them slop.
>>692186103>Pajeetas shit out stupid lag switch possession powers to defeat le evil white man>He wins anywayTruly, the lust for BWC is unstoppable.
doesnt matterthe money bamco spent making that game they made 5 times over already with dragon ball
are you smiling yet gaijin
>>692186771>reflector entertainment is based in canadaso yeah pajeet game
>>692186428100 players is more than a flop, it's a complete failure. that doesn't happen unless you have no idea what the audience wants.
>>692185124YTs cant season they gaems
>>692186921>100 playersAnd how many of them got the game for free?
>>692186103White guy looks based.
>>692186103Messiah but gay.
>look at the reviews on steam>all of them say "product received for free">still all negative
>>692186464What the FUCK do I have to do to get a good One Piexe action platformer that's FAITHFUL to the manga, with more emphasis on the platforming?
>>692186819NTA but what does that have to do with anything? Nobody is claiming that the game is buggy, short or uncooked
>>692186890I'm laughing my ass off from all these failures so, yes.
>>692187160I just read the IGN review which could basically be summed up by those three words
>>692183721So what is the story about? Pajeeta fighting off British colonizers but with magic?
>>692187067When there are less than 200 peak players, most of them are reviewers, sponsored streamers/content creators, and the devs.If Concord sold 25k copies, this probably sold less than 500 on all platforms.
Does this mean that they won't release the other 5 books, comic series, tv series and 3 more web series episodes anymore?
>>692183721I don't buy games with ugly bitches.
Code Vein 2 died for this
>>692187219>>692187445>They're thinking about creating their very own MCUOh no no. That's why it's called Unknown 9 because they are serious about this
>>692184716Yes. Also no digimon games.
>>692185547More like, just what bamco needs after this shit bombs, lmao faggot.
>>692187569They are not thinking it, there's already a lot of extra material about Unknown 9 that released
>>692187569this nigger acting like he's tolkien
>>692187532Please dont remind me.
>>692186103>mfw I realize Bamco cancelled a bunch of games, including one fronted by Nintendo but still thought this slop was fit to release
Dragon Ball The Breakers didn't receive any support but Bandai invest money on this garbage
>>692187532
>>692187569Why did he do it?
>>692183721For every shit game like this we have -1 amazing game made by competent and passionate devs that got denied funding because it didn't push a message.
>>692187532Seriously?
>>692187856
>>692187906
>>692183830Topkek
>>692187906Is that DSP
>>692184843Here's the thing, the woke shit is usually a symptom of the publisher or devs looking for a quick infusion of cash for their game. That's the real reason why it's a red flag, it's a way to recoup development costs somewhat by getting free ESG money. It's basically a sign that they know it's not going to sell anyway because it's shit so they sell out instead. The problem is not that woke games suck, it's that games that suck go woke.
>>692183721Maybe this is a good wake up call for Bamco. Hopefully they're smart enough to notice that "ugly pajeeta + libtard propaganda in video games = no sales"
>>692186340Why cant game companies just be happy with the games they have?
>>692188049Meanwhile /v/ complains about rehashes and rollslop
>>692187532it's joever
>>692188031Ah yes because companies are taking notes after a hundred other similar slops crashed and burned for a whole decade.
>>692186103sh-she-s fast!>also no actual part of gameplay
>>692183721Wait the game actually came out?I still dont even know what the game is about or how it plays.So watching the game-play its a jank action adventure like a nu god of war and uncharted.Sometimes i wonder if people just dont care about interesting character design anymore.Making your character a woman of color is not a replacement for memorable character design.
>>692187569>"What was the inspiration behind [your story]?>That is a tough question to answer...What the fuck? That should be the easiest question to answer about a good story. What a piece of shit.
>>692184843good thing pajeet are raking the leaves in big numbers.
>>692188031none of these companies have learned shitthey'll keep making the same pozzed garbage until they die
Remember, Bamco killedVarious shounen jump titlesTales Of (including the gacha)Soul CaliburGundam titles.HackTekken monetizationKlonoaJust for this universe and in order to recoup losses from Blue Protocol!
>>692183721if the dustborn dev can claim dustborn wasn't a flop with 80 peak players Unknown 9 is an unmitigated unfettered global impacting SUCCESS with more than double those players
>>692184576>'Why aren't people buying games?'>'Why are devs being laid off?'>this is what the devs in question put their resources towardsCollapse and failure is healthy at this point. Banging out an entire franchise before you even know of there's any interest is peak hybris
it just looks like uncharted but with an uglier protag
>>692188243Their "inspiration" is currently trying to erase every trace of their involvement in those games.
>>692188359And Digimon
>>692183721They made a shit game.Even if SBI was not involved it would have flopped. Just look at that gameplay. Its boring as shit. And the characters are not interesting either.
>>692187893When Blue Protocol flopped Bamco cancelled a bunch of gamesWhen this was already flopping in preorders Bamco also cancelled several games. We don't know what was in the chopping block. Yoshimura is (or was) making a Code Vein and posted updates until recently
>>692183884>8 more games are planned for the remaining 8 "Unknown 9"slol. With sales like this, Bamco will cancel them all unless they are retarded as fuck. Then again, they're the ones forcing all this DEI crap within their own computer, maybe they'll go broke.
>>692188552Bamco has been chasing the gacha crowd for the past few years instead of making new mainline Tales games. If they go under, they have nobody to blame.
>>692188426gotchu
>>692187532Please no...
>>692184237Meanwhile Harada won't ever allow soul calibur againFuck Namco.
>>692188687Well they killed all their Tales gacha. Even Rays, the best selling one
>>692187532>>692188552>they canned code vein for this shit
>>692185124>that faceO8O
>>692183721FLOPCO DOES IT AGAIN BAAAYBEEE
>>692188719fucking kek
>>692188552>soulcalibur dead>code vein dead>super robot wars stuck in gacha hell>but this garbage is greenlit and releasedwhat a shitty company
>>692187219The steam description reads like they asked chatgpt to write a synopsis for a game based on the most bland story concepts imaginable. Typical formulatic checklist slop
>>692183721It was unknown to the general public.
>>692189116to be fair with those description i remember seeing Signalis and being less than impressed with itThen you play it and is an absolute banger
It brings me more joy seeing a game with brown female MC fail, than playing new games. Sad times.
>>692188807It's not certain.They surely canned many games but Code Vein was profitable. Hopefully this impacts western projects more>>692189036Soul Calibur had been rumored for remasters and possibly a new game to relaunch the IP. It was 2023, hopefully that didn't get axed
>>692186552>Studio with 120 devs>AAA development terms>In Montreal neverthelessIt's certainly ain't a cheap investment.
>>692183721sweet baby ACK!
>>692189272>hopefully that didn't get axedI assume you didn't see harada's twitter post. The TLDR is that there's nobody within bamco with the ambition to bring it back (like Okubo did). It's dead (for now).
Why not make a new Code Vein game. Or a new God Eater game that doesn't suck now that Monster Hunter got immensely popular?Its like Bamco wanted to lose money with a game NO ONE asked for.
>>692189335That's just Harada being a retarded boomer cock blocking SC projects because he wants his Tekken shit to be their only fighting game Funny since meanwhile snk has like 3 different fighting ips coexisting
>>692189378Anime titties badDEI good
>>692183721I have literally never heard of the game before and I use /v/ every day. Same with Dustborn or Concord or whatever fuck that thing was called, they just exploded in "popularity" when they came out. It's fucking weird desu.
>>692189036They unironically fell for the "modern audience" meme.The dumbass japs actually think that the people who bought TLoU 1 and Goy of War are a completely new crowd who loves corridors, walking and talking while squeezing through gaps and DEI shit.
>>692189378does this look diverse and inclusive to you
>>692188552>>692187532I wish Satan would stop tormenting me in new and crueler ways.
>>692189437>Adopt DEI>Suddenly massive flop with their most DEI games to dateBamco are bunch of greedy fucks, so profit is their #1 priority. I'm sure that not even them would be willing to dive to the SBI tranny shit even more when investors are knocking on their door.
I just got my copy Gonna install it and check it out
>>692183721Saars why did you not redeem...
>>692189218Signalis description gives you >genre>setting>gameplay features>main character motivationU9 gives you nothing. It's impossible to learn anything about this game based on the description. No wonder nobody bought it, there's no hook, nothing to catch you interest. Doesn't help that it looks like super generic photorealistic UE slop
>>692189615>Old couple>Gay>Asian>Russians>Autist and his Autist girlfriendSounds diverse to me
>>692189543Japanese boomers are retarded and should never be allowed to workGo feed the birds. If you need to fucking pay MILLIONS for consultation in the fucking internet era you are just a fucking burden lmao
>>692189656>I just got my copyWhy? Just go play Uncharted or something, anon.
I can't wait for the next Tales of Sweet Baby Inc. Seal of approval
>>692189763But there's already a Tales of game with Sweet baby flavour.
>>692189543Yeah, Japs are usually late on copying fads so we're only now getting to see what they're up to when it comes to aping Western-influenced cinematic storytelling, diversity™ games thing.
>>692189763This is the most importat part.Will Bamco double dip on DEI bullshit even after this collosal flop, and with all this pushback that is going on even in Japan against DEI?
>>692189705>Japanese boomers are retarded and should never be allowed to workJapanese boomer suits are 100% responsible for what happened to Kemono Friends, Kancolle, and all the woke shit happening to vidya, anime, and manga.
>>692189803why would a black man making a game based on African fables need a diversity consulting group?
>>692184984The Spiderverse artstyle is ugly as fuck and only worked because of the Spider-Man name attached to it.
>>692189863Take a wild guess who that dindu was part of:https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/14831091/officers
>>692189857Asian and white boomers are the worst thing that happened to younger asian and whites.
>>692189838Bamco's boomer top hats must have been sending each other faxes and signing documents ever since God of War 2018 came out. And after they bought the company that was making this slop and invested in it, it was too late to pull the plug.And then they didn't even bother advertising it.
>>692186260What do you mean? If anything it looks like the DreamWorks smile
>>692190031It's funny how even fucking Konami is smarter now>Wtf cinematic horror games still sell look at RE And then they managed to make sh2R somewhate successful.
>>692190112God bless chinks and koreans for at least taking advantage of the anime aesthetic appeal. World is already depressing enough to survive Pozzed Japan
>>692189863Because if you don't pay their extortion money all the journos will cal you a racist.
This is the first time Im hearing from this game? Where's the marketing, did it appear in the Game Awards at some point? What's the genre? Why are we paying attention to it? Please tell me it's not AAA, that would be pathetic
>>692186103The whole sequence looks like a Skyrim animation glitch, what the fuck.
>french Canada>The only region of Canada not plagued with jeets>Make jeet gameWhy
>>692186103I fucking hate face scan shit so much. Ugly westoid actors aside, those facial expressions are genuinely disgusting to look at.
>>692187569>christophe rossignol>french canadian of northern-italian originsYou could figure just from the name alone what an obnoxious motherfucker this faggot is
>Bandainamco wants the Western audience>Buy a studio making a game about poojeets with Westerners being the bad guys.never underestimate the out-of-touchness of the Japanese boomer businessman, they have spent their entire careers surrounded by yes-men, it's become such a problem that Japanese people use Westerners in their workforce to share grievances with their bosses as they're the only ones with the backbone to challenge authority.
>>692186103Pajeeta gonna astral project zirself into you and make you poo on the sidewalk.
>>692189437>ugly chickbioleninism is real
>>692188425It's forced as hell. Reminds of when devs try to specifically to make a game for esports and artificially fund an esports league for it into existence, instead of creating a decent game first and foremost, that then it naturally becomes one that players want to compete in. It almost never works out, it's putting the cart before the horse. This is not much different with just making a huge multimedia project first, instead of making one decent thing and then if there is interest in that, go from there.
>>692183721It's quite unknown
>>692188443>>692187856>>692187569>>692185719If you recall, they tried to turn the ship at the last moment.
>>692190574
I piss on bamco
>>692188031No, surely this time it will be a success. No, no, this time! But this time! The Modern Audiences™ will show up any moment now, I can just feel it.
>>692184576>if we burn as much money as physically possible we will surely become the next big thing!
>>692190769Sure worked for Concord. Now /v/ can't live without it.
>>692189992It looks good exclusively when they have the masks on, the second they show their faces it crumbles
>>692190220>did it appear in the Game Awards at some point?Apparently >What's the genre?Over the shoulder slop>Why are we paying attention to it?SBI>Please tell me it's not AAA, that would be patheticAA
>>692183721why would bandai namco agree to publish absolute shit? I never even heard of this till today.
>>692186103The astral projection should be T-posing since I only ever see that kind of weird sliding movement with glitches.
>>692188425Do game companies even have market research or something? the fuck is going on?
>>692184576lmaoLITERALLY Concord 2, they thought this shit was a new big IP.
>>692190915Japanese boomers are cancer.
>>692185124>1620 approvals>1 playerseems legit.
>>692191035>the Japan is 10 years late to Western trends meme is real>they're only starting to engage with heavy DEI shit>they're also only starting to follow the Western cinematic universe shit that flopped for everyone except Marvel
>>692190983Worse, boomers pay millions to consulting companies in the fucking internet era lmao
what the modern audience actually wants:
>>692185124>400 players max but somehow nearly a 1600 reviews and 30 recent reviews>1-10 players in the entire last stretch of steam trackingSeems ABSOLUTELY normal
>>692191176Sadly, yes.
so why do companies fund these absolute flop games? Concord wasted over 200 MILLION DOLLARS.It's insanity. You can SEE this would be a failure, before launch. No one said anything. Why?
>>692191243Does it even matter when the studio 41% itself?
>>692189698not that kind of diversity silly.
>>692191320Sweet Baby niggas sell some REALLY FUCKING GOOD snake oil.
the funniest thing is this is a BUNDLED GAME with new boards/gpus.imagine getting this lump of coal as your free game.
>>692189437>A good One Piece game died for this
>>692191176>10 years late>cinematic universe shitIt's funny to me because japs already tried a multimedia universe thing 20 years ago, with the .hack series. Seeing the same idea bounce back and forth across the pacific, with a decade long delay each time is amusing.
>>692191176cant wait till otaku blow their offices up if they remove cute anime girls
>>692191526>good>One Piece>in the same sentence
>>692184576>scripted podcastSo a... live audio drama? Are they trying to pretend that they're breaking new ground and inventing new shit here when live radio dramas have been a thing since War of the Worlds caused Bonglanders to panic en masse back in the early 20th century?
>>692190335If he stayed in Italy he could've been based. Unfortunately the Qu*becois got to him.
>>692191615Japan is much better at self correcting than the west, so I don't expect this bullshit to last.
Wukong had over 2 MILLION people playing it at one point.This game, has peaked at 126 players. 126.People unironically need to be strung up over this.
>>692191628>So a... live audio drama? A. Scripted. Podcast.
>>692191618make a black flag clone with wild abilities and nico/robin boobseasiest game in the world to do. pirate majima game actually is doing this.

>>692183721Why does it even have players at all? Who was like "yep, that's a day one purchase for me!"?
But really guys. Why would companies put so much money into projects that ABSOLUTELY will fail? It's like knowing a car will go off a cliff, and never pressing the brakes. Why?
>>692191984Why does this SEAmuslim care so much about white people?
>>692191986
>>692184893>frogs think they aren't universally despisedJust you wait, Henri.
>>692192002theres literally a certain group of people that will give them money for doing so.

>>692189696also, Signalis is a GOOD GAME. the gay shit doesn't bother me because the story and gameplay are good to begin with.

>>692191853>unknown 9 invented linked storytellingI kneel
>>692192136neither do the developers
what you are seeing now with concord/dustborn/etc are all the DEI slop projects that were inevitably going to fail, and obviously, they are all fucking shit.
>>692183721they are all negative
>>692192110Extremely based taste. You are my nigga.
>>692191853This level of pretentious fart huffing only works if people get invested into your universe
>>692192043Because her boss will give her money if she talks about it on twitter. They probably have quotas of "fuck whitey" posts for their yearly bonuses or something.
>>692192281I'm talking about Mark Kern. Hence the term SEA.
>>692189218>>692189696God, who the fuck approved that store description for U9. Like Action-Adventure 3D. It could literally be pic related with those tags. Absolutely no description of note either. A Quaestor? The Fold? What genre and style is this? Action? Was this written by INTL nana?
>>692192002More money than sense, cultural revolutionism, more stuff that's big words that sound smart that I can't recall.The thing of it is and the fact of it is, white male gamers are vastlt outnumbered by a variety of different cultures, Indians, chinese, Africans, and a large part of the pie, as in females, HAVE money, and a willingness to spend it. They just haven't figured out exactly how to unlock that sector whilst being like, exclusively objectively nice.What the ever ephemeral "they" haven't figured out yet, is that everyone likes fucked up shit at least a little bit, so it needs to be more fucked shit but not too much, but in that world corporately, it's hard to speak out amongst a crowd and say "let's add some fucked shit" without being kicked out of the pack. So, it's a struggle and you continue to get shit games. The simple part of it is, I don't mind playing as a female character but I don't want it to be obvious that, oh you're playing as a female character, hard to describe, but games like Primal, the original Tomb Raiders, that nailed it(the advertisers fucked it up immensely, though). Games like Forspoken, or Horizon Zero Dawn, they fucked it immensely from the get-go. Horizon 1 gets a pass because it was sort of before all this shit REALLY started.
>>692183721Was there any marketing for this game at all? I don't remember a single trailer during any of the summer game events. Even Dustborn seemed to have a higher profile launch.
>>692192303do not utter His name in vain.

>>692192267I thank Hideaki Anno for introducing me to 'Zilla. Shin was the catalyst for my passion. Watched almost all the movies after it.
>>692192378they fail to realize it's not just "white chuds" who like hot girls in games, it's literally EVERY culture. as if minorities only want ugly fucking whales, or something. These retards fail to realize making a good game isn't hard, make good gameplay, make attractive designs. Make a script that isn't pretentious DEI shit. And people will play it.
>>692192378>vastlt outnumbered by a variety of different culturesthis is retarded and misses basic economics 101
>>692192425Oh, also, fuck the haters, the Godzilla Planet trilogy was good.
>>692192440Hell, you can even get away with some pretentiousness as long as the game isn't shit.
>>692186819Nice cope people are tired of woke cunts. Now it is finally mainstream to ridicule you evil fags. Yes, people noticed that you hate white people and that every single one of your woke products sucks. KCD was an AAA game with the budget of AA, and they did sell 6 million.
>>692192440Out of touch executives think Twitter = real life. That's literally the only issue.
>>692192425Shin is fantastic. I keep trying to get my wife to watch the full movie with me. I hope you saw Minus One! If you haven't, they're rereleasing it in November this year, at least in the US.>>692192478I found the second movie to be really boring, but I liked the concepts behind Goji Earth and Void Ghidorah. I recall executive meddling getting in the way.
>>692184576>executives still fall for the "multi franchise" scamAnd these guys have a 6 figures paycheck.
>>692192515the problem is these companies are infested by yes men afraid to tell the truth. ONE person at Concord studio saying "these designs are ugly" could have fixed (one aspect of) the game.
>>692185474>>692186924true truehttps://files.catbox.moe/cqdcdq.webm
>>692192554>I hope you saw Minus One!Saw the original subbed in theater.Re watched it on TVThen watched the -Color version. Safe to say, it was great all three times. Also yes, apparently Gen wasn't given full executive freedom over the movies, which is why the books are better. (Too bad they never got translated.).
>>692192629Yeah, all of the cool monster battles were pretty much only shown in the books. It's a huge shame that they were never officially translated.Anyways, we're getting off-topic. Have a great day!
>>692192475I see your angle but it's a simple numbers game ultimately, PCs and PS5s and Nintendos are sold all around the world.
how long can companies spend hundreds of millions and have failures like this? it's literally unsustainable.
>>692192786I honestly don't know how you could even blame shit like "greed" or "capitalism" at this point. It's like companies are TRYING to love money.
>>692192767You too, my nigga.
>>692192616it's so fucking funny that these retards are the best option for the libtard party.
>already 30% offLmao
>>692191986They gave away around 100k copies for free.
>>692183721>Never head of this game 'till I got an email 2 hours ago it was released >curious what was it >checks page >looked interesting> noticed it has mostly negative reviews >sees what's up>its your typical DEI/SBI bullshit Why do they keep doing this
>>692192956Instant gaming is a gray market site so it's not really fair to compare. It did flop 100% though.
>>692186924>>692185474What's with these people's obsession with spices? I once said that meat can taste good even without spice, and I had people tell me that they could "smell the caucasity" from their screens.I'm a fucking Flip.
>>692190983There is, it's call sweet baby inc.
>>692193019Don't worry lumpiabro, they don't mean actual spices. They mean shit like barbecue rub and seasoning salt. I'm pretty sure 99% of them have never even heard the word "nutmeg" in their lives.t. Spaghettiman

>>692183721I didn't even know it existed.It truly was unknown.
>>692192987Do what? Game developers are changing and adapting for the future of gaming.
>Instead of making more Code Vein, Bamco invested in this indian slopI just don't fucking understand the CEO mindset. People are supposed to have a chain of logic operating them but I see no thread, only chaos.
>>692192987Best part - devs pay millions for SBI "work".
>>692193293>I just don't fucking understand the CEO mindsetIt's kinda like a dictator mindset. Imagine you're Kim Jong Bandai, surrounded by yes men that want your approval and money. You kinda lose contact with reality.
>>692192987Larry Fink softening up companies for Tencent takeover.
>>692193293as time goes on there are more and more retards being let into gaming companies, and the quality declines. Very few companies are reliable every time, like say...Fromsoft.I *guarantee* you this is a project led by he/him's.
>>692192401That's not a real NPC from the game is it? It looks like a troll edited image.
>>692193019That kind of "people" put the same premade seasoning mix / ready made sauce on everything. The point is to make everything taste the same, regardless of what it's made of. Something about security and familiarity.
>>692193293I don't think this is entirely their fault. They were just the publisher partnered with an unknown developer. The odds of this game being a success was -0 'cause who the fuck heard of Reflector Entertainment Ltd. Bamco probably already gotten paid and just said 'fuck it" and released this crap anyways because their rep ain't gonna be tarnished.
steamdb descriptionYou are Haroona, a Quaestor born with the ability to venture into a mysterious dimension: the Fold. On her quest for powerful hidden knowledge, she must learn to master the powers of the Fold to fight a secret society with a hostile agenda.Haroona.
>>692193445Anon-tan... They own the developer. It's a subsidiary of Bandai Namco Europe.
>>692183721Reading the steam reviews is funny as fuck, most of the reviwers got the game for free and felt obligated to give a negative review so people wouldn't waste money on it lmao
>>692193409that's the power of unreal engine 5
>>692183721who?>>692184576WHAT?
>>692183721>what happened?Go woke, Go broke
>>692193445>They were just the publisherThis means they PAID for development. Publisher - developer relationship are the same as master - slave. It's rare case like From that developer allowed some free will.
>>692183721>Made by white people
>>692183721Wasn't this shit written by Kim from SBI?
>>692193508Majority of the reviews won't be count as legitimate since the stars are greyed out so they were definitely handed keys. Bamco probably banked that it would not affect the overall score.
>>692193594What happened to the french, man. They were like the peak of sexy in Europe. Now they're just weird perverted gay prudes.
>>692193208That didn't come out five minutes ago.

>>692193409That's the main character's ghost shape or some shit.The models are fucking garbage.
>>692192050They still do this crap? The last time I remember they gave steam keys when you bought a graphics card was that one Batman game.
>>692193719>>692193734It kinda saddens me, we're basically cultural brothers and I've seen them, the mostly atheist, push-the-envelope artistes become more prudish and weird than the country with the fucking pope in It.
>>692184731>>692192052You are a troon. You aren't fooling anyone with this shit.
>>692192786more importantly, why aren't investors asking for the Board's head? it makes no sense. they are costing hundreds of millions of dollars to investors. And no one is getting fired.
>>692193710The crazy thing is, things have blurred together at this point due to the amount of flops released in quick succession. From Forspoken to Immortals of Aveum, Concord to Uknown 9. They're no slouch either, these games cost a fortune, and all they had to show for it was less than a thousand players, fucking insane.
>>692193835
>>692193775>game being given away for free with CPUs>still can't crack 200 players because people only care about the other gameDon't act like this doesn't make the L even worse.
1 player is hanging in there:
>>692193887Forspoken is still the funniest. One of the few times in the last years where our memes entirely bled out into the wider internet.
>>692193835if you possess people, why not just make them jump off a cliff then leave?
>>692193984It failed thanks to one game.
>>692193887we genuinely need a gaming crash. but, there are rare moments of good games, in february there is: KCD2, monster hunter, pirate yakuza, and civ 8....and AC shadows, lol. I dont count that as a good game though.
>>692184576How many times has a multimedia IP ever succeeeded? Only ones I can remember was back when EA dabbled with it for both Dead Space and Dante's Inferno. The Dead Space stuff outside of the game wasn't actually terrible, I liked the movies.
>>692193974Waiting for the F2P rerelease
>>692193710It's because these games were put into development 5-8 years ago, under consulting from diversity departments who promised a new modern audience.
>>692193837Fucking hell KEK
>>692183721I have never heard anything about this game that isn't some Twitter culture warrior saying how it's going to flop because it's woke.
>>692186428Friendly reminder that woke is a symptom and not a disease. People see woke shit and know it's a bad game because that has been a proven constant for years now. You can see woke and know the game is going to suck.
Honest question: Has ANYONE heard about this game before today?
>>692194065That's depending on how wide the net for "multimedia franchise" is. This is a specific thing "transmedia" means a single continuous story told across many pieces. The aughties were full of this shit and it had good success. Hell NIN did it.
>>692189803NO ONEWANTSTO PLAYAS AFUCKINGNIGGERHOW MANY FLOPS UNTIL THEY UNDERSTAND?
>>692193835Why is he running like he's about to shit himself? Why doesn't his model actually move? This is fucking bizarre.
>>692194172I saw the trailer at TGA. Was actually excited for a sec when I saw Bandai Namco, that died real fast.
>>692191176>>the Japan is 10 years late to Western trends meme is realAlways has been, you just needed to pay attention
>>692194172Only heard of it a few days ago because of the Bamco layoffs.
>>692193887The baffling thing is that a lot of these duds have this weird affixation with gauntlets, bracelets and the like.Flopspoken, Aveum, Atlas Fallen and now this one - it's like as if they all got their orders from the same place/person.
>>692184560That's not even a quip
>>692191879He is the physical incarnation of their spite towards americans, of course he's based
>>692194250>it's like as if they all got their orders from the same place/person.Blackrock and SBI of course.
>>692194250Guns are an evil white-person thing, mmk?
>>692194105>lets make fortnite but for terminally online pronoun people
>>692194172I remember seeing it at one of the not E3 streams.
>>692191885>Ad hominem
>>692194172the idea of posessing stuff to get new powers isn't terrible, but they managed to ignore that and focus on ugly characters and bad writing instead.
>>692194250>it's like as if they all got their orders from the same place/personNot the case. It's just a marketing trend. Remember that marketing works on image. Same reason why most products aimed at all ages have young adults instead of kids or 40-somethings. It appeals to both markets without alienating either. Same for the gauntlet. It isn't aggressive, like an actual weapon, but it's still decently "cool".
>>692194250I genuinely think we are in a simulation and someone is spam pressing the "release woke shit game" button.Dustborn and Concord were literally a month ago.
>>692194164>woke is a symptom and not a diseaseyet
>>692184576>scripted podcastSo... a radio drama?
>>692194415It's just an inflection point. This is the "saturation" phase of the peaks and valleys theorem.
>>692194250If I were to guess, they're trying to emulate Iron Man or something.
>>692194415>I genuinely think we are in a simulation and someone is spam pressing the "release woke shit game" button.nah it's that those games get greenlighted during BLM and shit, peak woke, somehow they needed 7/8 years to come out, they're coming out all at the same time. SBI was founded in 2018 I think, it checks out.Why AAA games need 7 years to make? don't ask me.
>>692194172Maybe but it's becoming increasingly harder to remember what's shown off during the various game shows trying to make up for E3's absence
>>692194513>Black woman>In a rock bandHonestly the least believable thing in that game.
>>692191853>nine different media>we missed out on the Unknown9 rock opera
>>692194415We're finally entering the saturation point of the woke zeitgeist.
Bamco is a decent company. We got Sparking Zero people have been waiting for since god knows when, Taiko is finally out of Switch hell in 2 weeks, and we're getting Bleach in 2025. But with those beloved games and titles, we know will be a banger, one have to wonder what the fuck were they thinking making this? SOMEONE had to had the brains and realized this was nothing but slop and they released it anyways.
>>692194469the industry is in a dire state, there are a handful of good games and a LOT of shit games.in 2010, there was like 20 clear GOTY candidates.
>>692194453But imagine being too stupid to know what a radio drama is.
>>692193887the only one of these flops i have seen in ads in the normiesphere was forspkoen. i literally never heard of unknown 9 until this threadit seems the publishers themselves aren't wasting advertisement money on this shit. but why finance something they know is gonna bomb? did the devs con them into funding development? is their some financial incentive behind this (money laundering)? also games journalists and sweet baby types are the absolute lowest of the low of humanity, and we would all directly benefit if they all disappeared
>>692194486>somehow they needed 7/8 years to come outdev times have increased due to all the meetings they have while also trying to avoid any "crunch time" allegationsalso covid hit them all
>>692194582>Still haven't ported Gundam Extreme VS to PCThey're just idiot savants.
>>692194486these companies need to literally go out of business or they will never learn their mistakes. look at Ubisoft.
*does nothing*
>>692194660That's terrorism.
>>692194595Hence my point. All creative mediums thrive in the valleys. The peaks is when artistic integrity consolidates in profit chasing and corporatization of art. Hungry mindsets breed success and creativity.
>>692194604Money laundry is a possibility. Or the development was near completion and it was too late to pull the plug.
>>692189218>troonalis>goodlol
>>692194740The abundance of DEI shit is an overreaction to the dindu riots of 2020, and the fake push for "diversity". I hope every single one of these executives lose their jobs and kill themselves. Don't ruin my entertainment over your need to be "progressive" or by hiring worthless retards. Good companies still exist, but the people funding this shit need to go away.
>>692193887The sheer lack of interest is really something.You'd think that with extensive marketing on a global scale, recognizable names, and a simultaneous multiplat release, you'd be able to get a million unenthusiastic impulse buyers. But some of these games have every advantage and are still selling numbers that you'd expect to see with tiny studios that would be absolutely ecstatic if their games sold over 500k copies in a year. Concord numbers would have been a disappointment even for them.I guess that if there's a silver lining to the horrible economy, it's that people are saving their money for games that they definitely want to play.
>>692194741it seems the latter might be likely, upon reading >>692194486's post. a bunch of incompetent retards got their woke projects greenlit
>>692194364Not ad hominem ESL. Ad hominem would be calling (You) an ESL retard
>>692194848Why buy games now if KCD2/monster hunter/yakuza are out in February? None of these games are worth a penny. I just wish these people would go out of business faster, but they are propped up by DEI bux from blackrock/etc.
>>692187532FUCK YOU
>>692188097>>692187532this was supposed to be a happy thread...
>>692194250>it's like as if they all got their orders from the same place/person.Because they are lol. This is a direct consequence of relying on consultants to design and write your game
>>692186103Uwe Boll seal of quality.
>>692183721So, when it is it all imploding? I know it takes years for games to be made and this was probably planned at the height of this weird trend, but surely investors have to be looking at this and wanting to pull the plug, right?Or, is spitting in the face of "chuds" worth it?
>>692194807Only a handful of companies still give a fuck about releasing good products. The ones that WERE good are nothing but wokified and the trends they chase are not working so we're to blame for not buying into their slop. You look at ATLUS releasing banger after banger this year when people did not give a fuck what they did prior to the persona series, then you look at companies like UBISOFT which USED to be good but they think they were too big to fail and sold their soul to make slop.
>>692187532LmaoBamco is fucking retarded, holy shit
>>692186428When a game is woke, you know that all the devs are leftards or outsourced to pajeets.And those idiots only progress through social nepotism by parroting to their project managers their leftist biases.There's then only two scenarios in which someone would work in this kind of garbage.Either they are deluded enough to believe that their vision and direction is good (your leftist ideologue) or it's a wagie that is making assets/codemonkey who needs to clock his 9-5 and knows the product is shit but he's not competent enough to read the writing on the wall and quit before his CV is forever tainted with a garbage product.So yeah, woke games are shit. Not necessarily because they are woke, but they are woke because they are shit.
>>692183721I've never heard of this game. Whats it about?
>>692194807That's because it's not artists or creatives making choices anymore.Frank Zappa called this shit out in fucking 87“One thing that did happen in the 60s,” he says, “was some music of an unusual and experimental nature did get recorded, did get released.” The executives of the day were “cigar-chomping old guys who looked at the product and said, ‘I don’t know. Who knows what it is? Record it, stick it out. If it sells, alright!’”“We were better off with those guys,” says Zappa, “than we are with the hip, young executives,” making decisions about what people should hear. The hippies are more conservative than the conservative “old guys” ever were. This Zappa of 1987 recommends getting back to the “who knows?” approach, “that entrepreneurial spirit” of the grand old industry barons of the 60s.
>>692194214It's a Dark Souls 2 reference
>>692195000Blackrock already shifted away from ESG like a year ago. They don't use the term anymore. So investors at the highest level are starting to move
>>692184731She's cute though
>>692183721i never heard of this game until today
>>692190743HE WAS A TRIBUNE OF ROOOOME
>>692195069Didn't they just shift to another term?
>>692195000Money is all people understand, deep down people know this DEI shit is worthless and people will buy a game with the hot Lara Croft and fun gameplay, over the ugly Lara Croft with shit gameplay and a woke story. This phase will pass, or they simply go bankrupt.
>>692195152Yes and it's called sweet baby inc
>>692190667>>692190574based grifter bros
>>692195152Yeah they call it Bridge now.
>>692195000They invested millions on the production already with years of development set up, might as well release it with the hope that MAYBE the game will end up as a sleeper hit. Out of all these examples, only SEGA managed to have a moment of clarity by canceling one of these games to cut their losses (Hyenas).
>>692194771You will never reproduce though
>>692195179>This phase will pass, or they simply go bankrupt.we've been dealing with this for a decade. it's not a phase to these people. They really mean to make the gaming industry crash and burn just because.
>>692195220SEGA being the least retarded out of the big japanese third parties is a hoot.
>>692194897You dismissed the post by attacking the source rather than the content. Ad hominem, tranny.
>>692195039Any game with woke retards is going to be a bad game because these fuckers 1) are bad at tech, they aren't the smart STEM kids, and 2) they inject their idiocy into narratives/gameplay, which ruins the game as well. So they make poorly made, shit games.This is John Carmack who programmed Doom for contrast.
>>692195253They can keep giving subprime mortgages (development contracts) to any ol' retard that passes by with shit credit score (a highly diverse and cinematic idea.) but the house of cards always comes crashing down.
>>692195253>They really mean to make the gaming industry crash and burn just because.Because it's mostly aimed at straight men, or was, so their entire mission was to take that away.
>>692195201Hows the game doing? Havent played it in ages.
>>692195059Yeah, now we have execs that think they know what the audience wants, instead of letting the audience decide and trying new things. The "modern audience" target who aren't buying any of these shit games, go figure.
>>692183854The message IS all that they care about, it's not their money that they're using to make these games. It's government subsidies and sponsorship from DEI supporting corporations.The game director for Dustborn literally said he didn't care about the low sales cause "the game accomplished what we set out to do" Which is to be a propaganda piece about open borders and demonizing cis people.
>>692193835>Morrowind 3rd person animationsSOVL
>>692194172it was in every showcase trailer, I've seen is sandwiched between bunch of shit over the years, it's not really memorable
>>692195353Yep. And just like happened to the 80s and 90s with the rock renaissance when people making music from their garages made billions, the same will eventually happen with gaming. But it's a history of long wait times and expensive production, so it'll take longer.
>>692195259and now their pirate yakuza game looks like fucking black flag + yakuza gameplay, they made a better skull and bones than Ubisoft.
>>692194660based and win-pilled
>>692195439I checked out of Yakuza with 7 but godspeed to the RGG team. Their games have soul.
>>692194582>Bamco is a decent companyNo
>>692195350came out on steam this yearand it's basically dead
>>692195437I think AI tools will get to a point where a handful of people with a 6090 can just make a game that shits on Ubisoft trash.
>>692191775It is infuriating that the only Black Flag "clones" we got were shit like Ravens Cry and Skull and Bones. Why can't someone competent make a good pirate game?
>>692195559retard
>>692191853this is next level delirium
>>692193019I fucking hate niggers>Cook steak in butter>Put some salt>leave it rare inside>absolutely delicious best food ever could eat every day>goy cattle: "WHERE'S THE SEASONING GEEZE SO BLAND"This is how I know I am right in everything and everyone else is wrong
>>692195527>I think AI tools will get to a point where a handful of people with a 6090 can just make a game that shits on Ubisoft trash.AI is a pipe dream, unfortunately. But humanity isn't and will never be going in a singular direction. History is a pendulum, not a straight line. For every culture there is a counterculture. And the two switch places. In fact, it got faster.
>>692195559All Ubisoft had to do was copy/paste Black Flag (for skull and bones) and make some new maps, a diff campaign, and ship it out.And they couldnt even do that.
>>692183721never heard of it.
>>692193019it's just a safe meme to goof on so they will look less like lizards
>>692195526Oh well. It was a good run.
>>692184576>scripted podcastIs this one of those zoomer things I'm too old to know about? Or just an euphemism for a shill play?
>>692195652Man, you're making me wish I bought the discounted beef at the supermarket right now.
>>692195000It will end when retards stop giving money to companies after they say "sorry".The people at the tippy top don't give a fuck about money. They can ask their pals at the federal reserve to print more money and they can use (((clever accounting))) to use debt to their favor.They care about forcing behaviors to shape society to their vision. A vision in I won't get into but let's say that destroying concepts like Western culture, masculinity and freedom of speech is imperative for their vision to come to fruition. But even clever accounting won't help them if ALL of them, news media, hollywood, vidya, etc are bleeding money. They will start cannibalizing each other to get you back. And they will do whatever it takes to pander to you.These people wanted people like you removed from society and all that you care for to burn to the ground, because people like you are in their way.They need to crash and burn. Completely.
>>692183721Where are the first 8 games?
>>692195737It's literally just an audio drama. But probably released weekly or some shit.
>>692195774Unknown
>>692184576holy SHIT, TWO Concord-like games in 2 months? We are eating good.
>>692185719>story architect>at sweet baby inc
>Elden Ring 2 will be cancelled because of this
>>692195819Y'know what's funny. The "woke" Zelda game where you play as the girl respects its male hero far more than any western game with a female lead in the last 10 years. Yes I'm looking at you uncharted.
If people find the fall of your entertainment industry to be more interesting than the stories that you're telling, it might be time to get aggressive in changing direction and removing those who aren't on board or who aren't competent at their jobs.Gamers should be mortified at the thought of the big names potentially going under, and it's 100% the fault of those big names that they're celebrating instead. It started when they rolled out the red carpet for the fake geek girls who hate videogames and gamers.
>>692195918FROM got elden ring back
>>692195924There was no legitimate group of people who were upset over that game. It was completely fabricated by the wokoids themselves.
>>692195925>changing direction and removing those who aren't on board or who aren't competent at their jobs.Oy vey that's anti-semitic. You're better not using an iphone goy.
>>692187532I know.
>>692195975Bamco will buy it back and then cancel it
>>692195975Least Bamco isn't dumb enough to think its playerbase wouldn't play an Elden Ring 2 by some other developer.
>>692185124"Chuds" didn't make this or any of the other DEIslop put out this year.

>>692195924>"woke" Zelda gamenothe contention was that zelda should be just like Link and use violence, Ninty made sure she uses magic and not brute force, thus making al the usual kikes mad that she wasn't presented as she-link
>>692195983Yeah I know. I'm pleased with Nintendo regardless though. They did a great job at making Zelda and Link equally as important as each other. It's almost as if they understand their own characters...
>>692187532FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
>>692195925>fall of your entertainment industryWhat are you talking about, retard. My hobby (video games) is not affected by any of this shit. Troubleshooter 2 is coming soon. Elin in 2 weeks. Amazin Cultivation Simulator will get new DLC for free soon and they are working in ACS2. Many other great games from great developers to be delivered.retards with their garbage games from garbage companies really think they represent industry
What you've been seeing the past year is the rapid collapse of wokeslop and DEI worldwide. The bubble has burst and it is taking a lot of people and companies down with it. Next month will be especially brutal for retards still in denial.
>>692196154>Triforce of Wisdom>Doesn't even use a sword or actual weapon in age of calamity>They give her a sword anyways>People are still madI really don't get it. Zelda is a priestess, Link is a knight, Ganon is the monster. They have their own things. Ganondorf fighting with a rapier instead of a great sword would suck too.
>>692195925>fall of westoid entertainment industryFixed that for you
>>692193883I don't need to fool anyone in pointing out the French aren't respected at all, Jean Claude, this is patently obvious to everyone.
>>692196279>I really don't get it.what's to get, they view the state of nature as inherently oppressive and Zelda must be the hero now, etc etc
>>692196279They gave her a sword in the latest zelda game as well. Even her copy staff isn't her own magic.Way to ruin a character
>>692196398Wrong.
>>692196153KEK
>>692196398It's not her sword. It's link's spirit possessing her through devil trigger. >Way to ruin a characterThe Tri-Rod makes perfect sense. Zelda is a descendant/reincarnation of Hylia, the keeper of the triforce as a whole. It makes sense she would be favored by the Tris to use their power.
>>692186428>ITS BECUS WOOKEIt is, woke made this look like the most unappealing shit ever.Dumbass.
>>692195925Companies can be rebuild, Zach
>>692196649I wonder how the Sony intern felt writing that.
>>692196210>>692196290I chose "industry" because I couldn't think of a better word for a collection of companies that pull from a shared workforce and do things in a similar manner even if they aren't technically under the same leadership. In that sense, the western indie industry could be considered semi-separate.What would have been better? "Entertainment scene"?
>>692196717Samefag here. I think I just thought of the perfect word."Ecosystem".
>>692196717Industry is fine, maybe add AAA as a signifier.
>>692183721>is called "unknown 9">no one knows about itClever name
>>692194054>Civ 8>GoodThat game has a metric ton of red flags yo the point I'm recommending people to stay on civ 6 despite hating civ 6 myself.
>>692196692probably like some epic rebel
>>692196692They/them probably got promoted and a pay raise.
>>692183721I got it for free (amd promotion) should I redeem the code?
>>692193409Just look at that fucking video thumbnail.That's some low budget PS3 tier modelling.
>>692196991>Indian game>Should I redeemYou already know the answer, young Padawan.
>>692187569Isn't that the exact playbook they pulled for Concord?Protip: We don't want Indian Batman.
>>692197054Jesus fucking Christ...
What will a post-wokeslop videogame industry look like?
>>692197181Unfettered creativity like the post-Atari era.
>>692197181Thank based Xi for unleashing his hordes of coomer developers on the world.
>>692197247
I have to wonder... which retarded asshole is in charge of Bamco these days?Did they not know their last mainline Tales game.... Tales of Arise, was RPG of the year when it came out? And that was 2021.We haven't had a new Tales in years and it's basically free profits for them to make a new one. But nope, they want this garbage that nobody asked for meanwhile all their fans are still asking for a new Tales game.
>>692193019It's probably just being poorer. When you use poor quality ingredients you need to compensate with seasoning. It's like how poor people will pan fry the shit out of a steak, salt and pepper the fuck out of it and then eat it with ketchup or you got Feijoada in Brazil that was like black beans and cheap parts of animals and lots of spices(still delicious).
>>692197068Right. Its Unknown Awakening 9 time! I hated that Indian woman in witcher tv series so I can hate her some more in video game
>>692183721sweet baby barfing up another fag fest, killing a possible new digimon game in the process. their retardation knows no bounds!
>>692193835Why would everyone else be frozen when you're possessing someone? It's because it'd be obvious to shoot you in the head while you're out of your body in cutscenes, right?
>>692195924zelda game was actually good, it's just lttp with platforming and summons. but these games are just..."we want to be diverse" shit.
>>692197517They get paid millions in "consultation fees". The only retards in this situation are the game companies who fell for this scam.
>>692194172Yeah. I saw it on that DEI Detected steam curator page.
>>692197328part of that is true, like when it comes to true poverty and the food is practically spoiled.but that doesn't explain america where everyone can get fresh food. it's much more due to being psychologically crude such that nuances go unnoticed and mature tastes never develop. everything needs to taste like doritos and sugar or else it's bland.
>>692197632*Awakening with summonsin any case, these DEI retards need to stop getting funding, they legitimately are worthless at game development.
>>692197293They should make a new Ace Combat and Code Vein while they're at it. They'll sell millions each no problem.
>>692197685They're less than worthless.They create legitimately toxic work environments and slow down production with their stupidity, laziness, tempers, and entitlement, and they make the industry hostile to its customers. They bring negative value. Just telling them to keep their mouths shut on social media does nothing to fix the core problem.
>>692184576kek
>>692198556>THREE novelskek
>>692184576>>692191853Holy fucking shit, how far up your own ass can you be lmao>Yeah, we're gonna create the biggest thing ever, we planned everything, it's gonna blow everyone's mind, it's like the second coming of Christ but better.>No we don't need to gauge interest first, it's gonna work trust me bro
Not enough body positive big lip black queens to guarantee a success. if they had 3 more screeching banshees the chuds would be kneeling right now...
