Gamers... wtheck? I could swore I tagged him
>>734522635Hitler killed 6 million people
>>734522830But did he have a blast?
>>734522635Don't care, still having a blast.
>>734522635Just seems like a bad weekend to have released something like thisRE9 was a big hit and millions of people were playing that instead, it was also the focus of most of the major streamersSlay The Spire 2 is the surprise indiehit of the month and also hit at the exact same timeSo in terms of time availability it was an extraordinarily terrible weekend for a premium multiplayer shooter. Add to that how the economy might fall off a cliff at any moment so people are more selective about their entertainment purchases than ever before, and you've got a flop on your hands.
>>734522830>"people"
>>734522635>>Steam Charts? Everyone who believed the weekend would save the player count… leave the room.kek
>>734523003Every time was a bad time for this piece of shit lmao, cope
>>734523003Anyone who was surprised by StS2 being a hit is a moron
>>734522635>>The entire strategy was built around the weekend bump!this is unironically true. they paid all the streamers big bucks to stream it on the weekends. almost 250k viewers
>>734523003I would think both the zombie survival genre and autistic deckbuilders are more of a niche than a multiplayer FPS.Maybe the problem was that the game chased a trend that has died. They could have released it on the best possible day and it still wouldn't have done better.
This scene was totally unrealistic. Every account we have paints Hitler as a very sober and measured personality, he wouldn't act like that.
>>734522635>weekday bump.i kek'd
>>734523301The overlap is not in the genres themselves, it's in the paid video game categoryMost multiplayer shooters these days are free-to-play and their playerbase is almost entirely separate from the people who actually pay full price on release day for anything, so Marathon isn't even competing with Fortnite or COD Warzone. It's competing with other premium priced releases like RE9 since that's where their overlap is.
>>734523341The man was obviously bubbling with rage and malice.
>>734523003>economy might fall off a cliff at any momentthis is such a bullshit cope for these failed games. other games are doing just fine. people are still buying RE9 and STS2
>>734522830far more than that, every single western front death is on his hands. Even if holocaust was fake that would've only made him maybe 2-3% less of a monster.
>>734523341This. Every sober and measured personality kills himself and his wife and his dog. That's the normal and sane approach.
>>734524397Trust no one, not even yourself.
>>734524254Sure but they're buying actually good games, rather than mediocre multiplayer shooters or shit that will just hang around their Steam inventory unplayed for the next decadeIn a better time, Marathon would be something that more people would be willing to give a chance on despite its price point or might even add to their cart along with other purchases. But when you've only got enough financial freedom to pick one game, it sure as fuck ain't gonna be Marathon.
>>734524397That was objectively the correct thing to do at that point, you retard.
>>7345226356/10 due to lack of console cope.
>>734525364Feedback noted, I will improve the pasta for next time.

>>734522830will Hitler 2 be a return to form?
>>734522635Watch the thread go from talking about Marathon to World War II and how either Hitler did everything right (that's why he lost) or did everything wrong (that's why he lost)
>>734522830Proof?
>>734525303>Ackshually when you do insane illogical shit on drugs that leads to the destruction of your army and country, this insane illogical action makes sense y-you r-retard... I'm trans btw
Is a world where Hitler didnt win really a good one?
Marathon is an obscure game released for the mac thirty years ago. Picture this, instead of making a live service game, they made a remake. Of all the unnecessary remakes out there, this is one that could've actually made sense. Single player, maybe make a simple multiplayer mode too with no frills, and send out to the market like that.Wouldn't that obviously be more successful, even if it wasn't a smash hit? Is anyone actually surprised that the new concord is concording?
>>734522830More than that. His retard tier war killed tens of millions of white Europeans and destroyed the continent for a century later by ensuring they could let infinite Islamic invasion overtake it.
You know the chuddies lost this hard when they're spamming posts about Hitler
>>734526302er ist wieder da
>>734522635FEGELEIN
>>734526302look who's back
Is HItler posting politically incorrect once more?Or is is it correct? Last time i looked it was lame.
>>734526495He couldn't win. He overstretched his logistics and his allies were Italy whom were even less competent and Japan that was always going to stall out after the US cut off their oil.
Apparently marathon is less interesting than hitler.
>>734522830First I’m hearing about it
>>734527002To be fair, dealing with one of the crucial political figures involved in one of the most defining moments in the 20th century is definitely more interesting than multiplayer live service game #453314464.>inb4 some nerd tries to argue that the fall of the Berlin wall or the Russian revolution was more important than WW2
>>734522635Hitler was right about a lot of things. Anglos are ruled by Jews and everything they do is for the benefit of the chosenites? checkFrench invited Africa into Europe and began replacing their own population? checkRussians are mongoloid savages who are currently killing their own Slav shitter "brothers" who they supposedly need to protect for the 4th year in a row? checkWe will never know what the Reich timeline would have looked like but the man had a point.
>>734522635KEK
>>734527171Germany moved less capital than a modern entertainment industry and with Marathon menacing to spawn a new thrilling aesthetic style possibly influencing the videogame landscape for the next decade: Marathon is a little more important than World War 2.
>>734527171>>inb4 some nerd tries to argue that the fall of the Berlin wall or the Russian revolution was more important than WW2yeah WWI was more importantWWII is just a shitty sequel
>>734527443>t. jewro kosher nazi
>>734527518>blue guys team up with their rival red guys to defeat the evil black guysKIN->they go straight back to hating each other after thatThis isn't like my japanese vidyas
>>734527515>Hitler had less funds than the devs of Marathon and yet managed to create a more thrilling, hardcore PvP experience for the whole worldReally makes me think.>>734527518WW2 had a way better eastern front. WW2 also had the better visuals and asthetics. Sure, the moral ambuguity was gone but not every story needs to be morally gray.And if we are honest about it, most of WW1 was just sitting around in the western front
>>734522830oh yeah? where are the bomes then?
>>734522635>can't have meme threads without trannies and chuds going atthis board is fucking cancer
>>734522830damn thats hardcore
There’s an alternate universe where Bungie instead made a single-player Marathon sequel in the same style as the old Mac games.
>>734527767you have to agree that WWI expansions like Russian Civil War were far better than >Korean War >>734528125>Marathon sequel in the same style as the old Mac gamesI'm surprised barely anyone tried to do games in that stylethe only one that I've played that comes to mind is Return of the Obra Dinn

>>734522830ok, and?
>>734526917I don't know shit about history, but what if he stopped Barbarossa after acquiring Kiev ? Or maybe he could've accept the first few Soviet concessions when the operation began.
>>734538436I think he needed more than that, supposedly he needed oil to continue the war on other fronts and that meant that he would need Caucasus. But I don't think it really mattered anyway, no point in stopping when you're advancing and fast whilst your doctrine assumes total extermination of certain groups.
>>734536113Humanity isn't like you, rabbi
>>734538901nta, but he couldnt win for a lot of reasons.>manpower is one if the main ones, the germans lost 6 million men (no, not that) on the eastern front and had stretched themselves thin in Africa. their offenives in 43/44 were the nail in the coffin. >oil/ logistics. they had no oil, and simply taking Russian oil wouldnt fix shit. they still has no infra to get the oil where it needed to be in any timely matter, and the russians absolutely would harass any german in their way>air power. they had none>navy. lol.
>>734539403>air power. they had noneafter battle of britain, sure. After invasion of poland, they definitely had a seriously threatening air force for everyone around>navy. lol.yeah they were completely in the shitter with that. Should've conquered all of scandinavia and have them take on naval force expansion and maintenance duty
>>734539403So Hitler should've stopped at Czechoslovakia ? Even if at that point Germany's economy was fucked ?
>>734539403They had the navi, though they were never a naval force but their air supremacy was definitely palpable during the first years of war. Interestingly enough, the Soviet command executed some of its key Air Force officers not long before the invasion, which begs the question as to why anyone would assume they had any intentions or even capabilities of attacking Germany head-on.
>>734539971he should've stopped at france, but in reality he wouldn't be able to stabilize german economy anyway. There was literally no way, except with ayylmao space tech, for germany to win the war.They would either succumb to constant UK/USSR harassment, or fold immediately after getting nuked by US (US nuclear program was initially prepared with the intention of nuking germany into surrender)
>>734539860>Should've conquered all of scandinaviaSweden would fuck up Germany before getting occupied, especially since Germany needed a lot of iron, and Sweden was providing it to them in the early years of the war
>>734522830the ovens ran so hot that the part between the oven and the chimney vaporized
>>734539860im talking about by the end of the war, anon. but yes, their airforce was very effective. >>734539971eh. his best bet would have been an assassination of Churchill and hope another appeasement politician took his place. the war was inevitable by all accounts. its about how he could have positioned himself before the war. >>734540062pre war air doctrine for most countries was weird. they really had no idea wtf they were doing and kinda had to hope their developments worked out. the Russians also had very little industrial build up before the war broke out. (as in not enough for a country of that size nor for the scale of warfare to come)
>>734522830Users have added context to this post:No people were killed in German concentration camps, only kikes and commies.
>>734524397He and his wife gets tortured to death otherwise.Stain wanted Hitler alive.Suicide was actually a logical way out.
>>734526561It's because of the AAA design cycle. Games take five to seven years to finish, and investors don't want to wait five to seven years to get a single return (the initial sales of a single-player or non-live service multiplayer game). They want continual growth and continual returns from skin sales, and if there's a 1% chance that Highguard or Marathon are the next Fortnite, it's worth it to them. What they're too dumb to realize is that every other investor wants the same thing, and that's how you get a period where you have Concord, Hyenas, Highguard, Marathon, Fairgame$, Arc Raiders, that one God of War live service thing Bluepoint was working on, and half a dozen other clones of the same game all in development at the same time.It's the same exact thing that happened to gachas: investors saw them as easy money until every investor got into them at the same time and the market got oversaturated and there were too many games trying to get a piece of the same, very limited, pie.I'm sure at some point, once Fortnite inevitably dies and the next big trend happens, we'll get another wave of the same shit with games getting cancelled left and right or pulled from market after two months.
>>734540127they couldnt stop at france, cuz france dragged britian in, which dragged in bla bla bla, and it was already too late. Poland giving Germany dezing wouldn't have helped either, cuz they still would have gotten partitioned and the soviets would still want the west of Poland. now, had Germany tried to get closer to the us, even that wouldnt work, as Roosevelt hated Germany. but, theres was a slim change of getting britian to not act retarded and join france, but thats a lot of what ifs and retarded theories involving assassination. the whole situation for Germany was just untenable but to do nothing was not an option either.
>>734526561>Wouldn't that obviously be more successful, even if it wasn't a smash hit?their Sony overlord demands ALL the money, not just some money. ALL of it. ALL or nothing. So they get nothing after nothing after nothing (with the pozzed Horizon game becoming Concord 4 soon)
>>734522830if "muh 6 million" is all you think about when you see Hitler you have been utterly utterly mind raped by jews and need to seek help

Forced anti cheat installation that lies to your face using data. 3/10 it only got points for atmosphere, everything else is trash.Background, played shooters for over 20 years.
