RIP Metroid 6
What's wrong with 10 hour workdays? That's totally normal.
>>723338203>10 hour workdaysisn't that standard?
>>723338420>>723338445buckbrokinstan
>>7233386078h 18h is relatively common
>>7233398968h is pretty common here, but lots of people do more because they want more money
As an electrician, I envy them.
>>723338420not if there's 5 a week and you have commute on top of it
>>723338445t. American who normalized abuse
>10 hour work daysTHE HORROR!!! YOU POOR THING!
>>723338607mindbrokistan
>>723338203>10hr workdaysI do that shit every weekend, please. And I have a public-facing job, too.
>>723338203It shows, to be honest they have been doing that since forever. The studio is shit anyway
The amount of third worlder slaves in this thread holy shit LMAO
>>72333820310 HOUR WORKDAYS?OH! MY! GOD! THAT IS ABUSE! AND RAPE!
>White collar sissies complaining again.lmao
>>723338445Not in Europe, I guess. In Asia or America nobody would care.
>>723343141>>723342553>>723342410You are weak.
>>723343369The cope begins sir
People have been complaining about the head of this studio Enric Álvarez for well over a decade now.
>>72333820310 hours is a lot, but it's game dev. It's not going to be an easy-going job
They are the only videogame company in this country other than mobile/indie ones btw. And all this shit just to release Blade of fucking fire kek
>>723338203>RIP Metroid 6Nobody cares if that shitshow ever gets released. It looks absolute CHEEKS.
>>723338420Maybe if you're a cuck who's okay with being milked dry by some loser in a suit.
>>723343942How can it look 'cheeks' if it doesn't exist yet, anon?
>>723343185tbf 10 hour workdays doesn't not equal 10 hrs of productivity. At some point the devs get tired and start making mistakes which lower efficiency.
>>723339896when the fuck do you have free time then
>>723344076half of that is just chatting and eating anyway like in construction working
>>723344108Anon posts while working.
>>723338203Good riddance, now Retro just needs to die too and maybe someone competent can have a shot.
>>723338203Why is there a screenshot of that Castlevania game? Was that the last fucking thing they worked on?
Whats going on with this dev? I remember they bitched as well about Lords of Shadow 2 getting fucked because the director was an egomaniac.
>>72333842010 hours you actually believe in are fruitful10 hours of fucking around, misery-inducing bosses and a feeling of unfulfillment will kill you
>This thread.
Can't Nintendo just buy these losers and keep them in line? They only make trash when they work for someone else anyway.
>>723338203>10 hour workdays
>>723345686>Japanese Company
>>723345686They got bought by someone else the second Mercury Steam finished Metroid Dread, now their value has gone up even though they made a shit game under another publisher.
>>723346092Yes anon, Japanese companies can buy western studios. They literally did it last year with Shiver Entertainment, they can absolutely do it with MercurySteam if they really wanted to.
>>723338420>>723338445Peasant mindset on display here
>>723343942Metroid 6 isn't Prime 4, mongoloid.
>>723346092Bandai Namco and Limbic Entertainment wants to say hi.
>europeans' collective faces when they're expected to work like everyone else in the real world
>10 hour workday is too muchNo wonder Europe is fucked
>>723347205There's a reason why Europe isn't relevant in the videogame industry. It's all US, Japan, and China. And I guess South Korea to an extent.
>>723343141I understand why the government are FILLING Europe with immigrants.It's your fault ( also most of Eurocucks want more State control, so yeah)
>>723347280>best selling games of all timeEuropean>most hyped games of all timeEuropean>most GOTYs this decadeEurope What has america contributed to gaming recently outside regular doses of humour-inducing high budget flops?
>>723347380I was about to say that. Now it makes sense why they're importing workhorses into Europe.Those faggots don't want to work. A bunch of pompous peasants thinking they are royalty.This is why their women are fucking immigrants non-stop: there are no men around their vicinity.Sad.GRIMKK
>>723347205The government assistance bucks got them too comfortable and out of touch.
>>723348330if you're talking about gta then you're wrong because it's mostly made by indians not europeans
>>723348558>sar it was all Indian britishers did nothing saaaaaar
>>723348330That's because they get immense assistance from EU shillbux and Sony to hype up their graphics and meme qualities like story. Their games don't play that well as the U.S indies or any Jap ones.
>>723348330Let's see some of these "games"
>>723348690Am I wrong?
>>723348795Witcher I think.Cyberpunk 2077 comes to mind.
>>72333820310 hours sounds bad. Is it paid overtime? How many workhours do they have in a week? Do they have weekends and siestas? >mutts ITT proud of being slavesUSAsia lmao. No wonder all your food is full of sugers. Gotta keep the tank topped up to keep grinding, am I right and am I right? Do the walmart dance.
>>723348690he looks like hes seen shit you wouldnt believe
>>723348894>Cyberpunk>total floparino that needed Japan to bail them out grim
People like spending nearly half their day just at work alone? Factoring in commute, sleep and general household duties that doesn't leave you a lot of free time at all. That sounds awful.
>>723348941US and Asia rule the world. Europe does literally nothing but brutalize and torture its own citizens. In fact, I think the UK is going ban its citizens from going to 4chan soon.
>>723348894>WitcherVery poor gameplay. Story is stolen from a book and not an original thought down to the folklore. Nope>CyberjunkMeh gameplay. Story is illusion of choice meme and a mess. Try again
>>723349115Didn't the Witcher win goty some years?
>>723349035americans are literal goy cattle and think slaving their life away so the rich get richer is a good thing
>>723349190I don't care for shill awards. They're usually bought out.
>>723349253What's the point of game awards if the only metric of value the audience understands are big vocabulary words?
>>723345243I wonder how many people he's got seriously injured by operating heavy machinery while his brain micro sleeps due to severe sleep deprevation.
How did these Spaniards even land metroid?
>>723349115You are just a salty American who will call anything else shit. Argue like an adult not a child.
>>723338203What have they made since Metroid Dread?
>>723346364That's the thing. They don't want to.
>>723338420
>>723349310They don't take quality of gameplay into account. Most great games fly under the radar while popslop wins by default.
>>723349035gotta afford a better car to drive to work with and a bigger house to come home to after work, with a bigger bathroom so you can get ready for work more comfortably. But hey you might also be able to afford a jacuzi so you can relax on your weekends when you're stressed out because of your work.
>>723349370I'm from the Faroe Islands and I think CDPR is massively overrated and should be held to the same standard as any other game out there instead of wanking its awards.
>>723349432Surely there has to be more than "magnificent," "wonderful," and "tour de force," to say about good games like Cyberpunk and The Witcher series. People like games for more than the long winded vocabulary terms describing them, and that many people voting for games they like must also operate on popularity, possibly an agenda?
>>723348795isn't minecraft swedish
>>723349115>Story is stolen from a bookAmerican games would improve 100x if they did that. Instead it's all written by committee with zero risk, just ticking off checkboxes.
>>723349683Indies aren't usually stolen from books word per word and still out perform CDPR's stories.
>>723349640I seriously hope you aren't citing Notch as a shining example of good work ethic
>>723348558Holy shit that cope
>>723345243>>723349342he killed his girlfriend by driving over her drunk.>"Colten Mushinski was previously charged with manslaughter and DWI after a tragic incident in which his girlfriend was killed by being run over by his pickup truck"
>>723349640Roblox stole its thunder.
>>723347106but thats the thing. we arent :^)
>>723349820I was citing it as an example of being a successful european gameare you gonna cope and say it doesn't count?
>>723349035>People like spending nearly half their day just at work alone? The freaks shitposting on 4chan about the virtues of working 10 hour days, which they obviously don't do themselves or they wouldn't fucking be here on a weekday, aren't people.
>>723350117its weekend here retard
>>7233384458 hours here (while retarded commies want to push the 6h worktime)
>>723344076>At some point the devs get tired and start making mistakes which lower efficiency.Longer shifts are for on-call gigs, and >>723344125 is true in those cases. If you're on-call, you're mostly just waiting for something to happen. That's a different kind of work.For productive endeavors, like game development, you only have a good 3 hours of work tolerance and good output per day, including careful decision-making. Once that's over, usually after lunch, it's no longer about producing new stuff, but about surviving the circumstances and making spot adjustments on stuff you just finished - or doing knowledge share and building rapport with the guys.If you're already doing 10 hour productivity shifts, ideally you should just move into the building and live there at that point. That was the only way things could get done in video game development studios of the past, when boy's club culture was more prevalent and not made fucking illegal. So here we now have our problem: developers are overworked because they all hate each others' guts. There's no more "working with the guys", now it's "putting up with the psychos".These days, even in small studios, there's no cohesive culture or shared ambition because there's no common ground. Diversity or you're bigot, and bigotry is illegal. Guess what that means? Nobody wants to be around their whiny, shit-smelling coworkers, much less spend 10 hours a day imprisoned with them. It's more exhausting to share space with political, cultural and racial enemies, and pretend they're your friends for any amount of time, than to spend three whole months with the bros grinding out a project you all want to see finished.tl;dr woke fucked the work culture10 hours of being around kiketoys does not qualify as work, it's financially compensated torture.
>>723350117I shit talk here on my breaks and bathroom runs.
>>723350154Oh yeah? Where's that, Uranus?
>>723350312I know youre like 7 at most and finally got mommy to buy you a phone so you can be a tourist here but you have to learn that the world does not revolve around your retarded ass and different countries use different calendars, you will learn about this once you learn how to spell uranus correctly
>>723343369You're a golem slave
>>723338445*whip whip whip*
>>723350207> It's more exhausting to share space with political, cultural and racial enemiesI mean say what you will about 'woke' but even in the halcyon days of the 90s there was some degree of 'diversity'--several of the old-school Blizzard guys like Allen Adham, were sandniggers (Adham was an Egyptian). In any case if you want homogeneity you could always start a whites-only dev studio in West Virginia or something. I suppose we can see firsthand whether you guys actually are as hot shit as you claim to be.
>>72333820310 hour workdays are insane in like fast food or warehouse gigs.You pussy fucking niggers are working in OFFICE jobs. Get the fuck out of here with this muh more than 8 hours a day is torture shit.
>>723338420The perfect goyim:
>>723350626sorry that you dropped out.
>>723338445I live in Japan and it's not even standard here lol.
>>723344108Just don't sleep? I don't see the problem lmao
>>723338420Show your nose.
I think this is unique to corporate Spain and most LATAM countries where they take long hours to work but have one or two hours of siestas(naps) or butt hours where they sit around and do nothing.
>>723350779Ameriburgers have 90 minutes too
>>723350654...how do you get that from my post? My office job has me working 14 hours once every blue moon. 10 hours at least twice a week
No job requires longer than an 8 hour shift. Fact.
>>723350117it's periodic work where they fire a lot of people and cut hours after the game ships and you probably have "time off" you don't want while you find your next job
>>723338203Finally some good news, this studio sucks ass and killed both 2D Castlevania and 2D Metroid. I sincerely hope they never make another video game ever again
>>723350470Well I've certainly heard of countries where Friday or Monday are considered a part of the weekend but never Wednesday or Thursday, so either you are from Uranus or somewhere equally backwater and irrelevant.
Good fucking riddance, Mercury Steam needs to fucking die
>>723350969lollmao even
Euros are lazy fart huffing faggots, their bootlicking procedes directly from this
>>723350605>even in the halcyon days of the 90s there was some degree of 'diversity'Not culturally. You'd only function well if you adapted to the work environment, and if you couldn't, no matter what race you were, you'd get the boot.You just try starting a company with nothing but like-minded strangers these days. That's impossible without being sued into oblivion by every rejected applicant, even if they look like you. Nobody agrees on anything, and everyone has a fucking "complicated, nuanced" opinion about everything.
I work office but I yearn for the fields and physical work. My body can't take it anymore but it pays a little better.
>>723351296I LOVE my warehouse gig. I can listen to audiobooks all day. I can't do that for a job that requires my focal attention. Fuck offices
>>723350848Only losers work these hours. If you made wise career decisions instead of obsessing over weed and bitches, you'd work clean 40 hours or less without having to cope.
>>723349876Am I wrong?
>>723344775Blades of Fire. It gigaflopped because some genius decided it had to be EGS exclusive.
>>723351610I do sometimes work less champ
>>723348996Nah, he just eats shit you wouldn't believe.
>>723338420Europeans are liberal pussies that hate working. Video games were better when it was nationalist capitalist doing it
>>723351610>obsessing over bitches>loser activityOk cuck lmao
>>723351872That is to say, Blades of Fire was the last thing they worked on, but Castlevania LoS is what they're most-known for- despite having made Metroid 5.
>>723351959Only if you don't score, which you didn't. Oh well, at least you're doing 60 hour weeks like a real man.
>goys are still fighting each other instead of uniting against uslooks like we won afterall! hurhurhurhurhur
>>723338203In case you were wondering, they’re last games was a 6/10 Epic Games Store exclusive, released May 2025.No one bought it. https://youtu.be/KEWI2AQVTDY?si=62EESXeZFKaKuVqn
>>723351241Ah, so "culture" can even outweigh political and racial enemies (like Adham the sandnigger or Morhaime the kike)? Good to know.
>>723350171shut up and get back to recording your wife and your boss from the cuck chair
Just remember, during the HORRIBLE AWFUL BACKBREAKING serf life, Britain was considered overworked. A third of the year was holidays.You were guaranteed a nap at midday.You were guaranteed three breaks for meals.You could drink on the job.You did NOT have some old cunt vibe-checking your resume.Anyone who argues against this is fundamentally not white.This is how Europe operated before the industrial revolution.This is how Europe operated when it ruled the world.Europe conquered the world with a guaranteed nap.
I thought Euros were dead asleep by now. It turns out the ones that post here have no jobs defending their shithole lmao.
>>723338203Do Europeans really only work like 4 hours a day?
>>723353469Better than defending Israel lol
>>723338203They let themselves get bought out instead of working with Nintendo. That's on them for being retards.
>>723352080Sorry kike but COVID 2 > WW3, all day all night.
>>723349407It’d be better for them to just poach any talent that leaves and form their own studio made up of said talent instead of outright buying out MercurySteam, saves a lot of money and keeps the team lean.
>>723349884""""""""""""""accident""""""""""""""""""""Based.
Holy cross!
>>723349876Rockstar is mostly indians now
>>723338203I thought these niggas were already working on metroid 6. What the fuck have they done since Dread?
>thread full of children pretending 10 hour work days are the minimum
>>723338203Wait the people that made Metroid Dread were the fucking bums that made that terrible fucking Castlevania game??
4 hour work days should be the standard.
The song is "working 9 to 5" not, 9 to 7. Where the fuck are 10 hour work days standard? Has America abandoned Dolly Parton?
>>723358138Probably Canadian
>>723338203>>723353531
>>723338420No it isn't. 8 hours maximum for like 90% of industries. You must work in medical or the ER.
>>723338203I was kind of expecting this was the case after no new Metroid announced after a 4 year gap.
>>723338203shovelware dev
>>723338203Potential game dev
>>723338203bicycle maker?
What next?
>>723338203CV: LoS3 soon?
>>723344694Devs aren't the issue, metroid 6 will be fucked regardless of who develops it as long as sakamoto is in charge
>>723338420I work 12 hour shifts on my feet and this anon is right. Fucking crybabies
>>723343369you're retarded :)
>>723338420Amerigolem moment
>>7233509572D metroid was killed internally when fusion released. Dread has its problems but it's not a total embarrassment like fusion
>>723338445I've done plenty of 9 and 10 hour shifts.10 hours is the limit or else you need to take another break.I'd much rather get paid for 10 hours than 6 hours because if I have to work my day is fucking gone anyway.
>>723352360looks like Unreal engine slop.
8 hours on the clock and an hour lunch is a 9 hour workday. Working an extra hour to meet a deadline isn't the end of the world.
>>723338203>Mercurysteam>Woke faggot tranny company implodingYou love to see it Get woke go broke faggots Am2r won nu Metroid lost
Damn this sucks Dread was a great game
>>723338420It's not an unreasonable workday assuming it's just five days each week, with a day off every two or three weeks. 6+ days/week regularly though is rough if that's the case.
>>723338203You seem to think that Mercury Steam's condition would effect the release of a new metroid game. Metroid Dread was shelved for 15 years. It's far more likely nintendo is in no hurry to make another 2D metroid so soon and Mercury steam is having trouble because of that.
