SAROS SALES OFF TO A BAD START What went wrong with Saros? Was the misinformation campaign and people rudely leaking the story a factor in the poor sales?
What are the numbers
>>738340193>The PS Blog has published the PS Store charts for the month of April, where Saros is positioned at 11th in North America and 17th in Europe.>In the UK's physical games chart, Saros debuted in third place, behind Nintendo's Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream and Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition.
>>738340193A big Number 2
>>738340324grim
>>738340158saaros....
>>738340324>Third place>Behind Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition.what?!
>>738340158Fuck you bastard bitch
>>738340158saars pls redeem
>>738340343hehe, because of poo
>>738340158I didn't even know about this game until the director had a huge melty over chuds "misinterpreting" his cuck fantasy.
>>738340474If you use google flow it will generate images without the gemini watermark
>>738340158i thought the /v/ headcanon was that the snoys bought this in droves
>>738340158izzat lost
SAAAR redeem the game right now
>>738340158>what went wrongThe target audience for a hardcore third person shooter roguelite is men. The plot leaked and people found out you get cucked. Straight men don’t like that so they didn’t buy it
>>738340486>>738341025Getting dumped because you were a neglectful partner and seeing them get with another person is not cuckoldry you fucking losers.
Playing as an indian is the least desirable thing possible. Subnautica was smart enough to hide seeing the mystery meat MC behind the rest of the game.
>>738340474This would somehow actually be a better game then the real one
>>738340416UK has millions of jeets, infact most jeets in Europe
>>738341154That's the definition of a cuckold. What are you, a cuck in denial?
>>738340158This finnish studio has some talent, ngl. I just dont understand why they are allergic to simply adding a White man as MC.Instead they make a game about a jeet.Fucking cucks, serves them well.
>>738340193350 copies sold
>>738341278It's literally not but go off.
>>738341154The definition of what constitutes cuckolding changes depending on if you are neutered feminist male or a non-castrated men For instance, if you are a non-castrated man, your wife who is bound to you by marriage leaving you and fucking a lesbian counts as being a cuckold. She’s basically your property and she’s out getting fingered and dildo’d by someone else.
>>738340158is it a good game? no one caresare you a cuck for giving sony 70$ and playing this? yes 100% so please buy it cucks sony needs your money
>>738341154leftist cuck in shambles pearl clutching at maximum power
>>738340158what went wrong is that exclusives are dead
>>7383401933 fiddy
>>738340158It went broke? It's a shame we'll never know why.
>>738341638Only on Piss5. Nintendo fans still buy Bingtendo games. Sony fans are either sick of the “better man” propaganda slop or all of the people interested in exclusives went to PC. But you’re never going to convince the average PlayStation owner to try something that isn’t ball and gun slop
>>738341827Nintendo has created a walled garden. Sony is going to do it too cause they already pulled off of steam. Thanks nintendo.
>>738340324>losing to the tranny mii madlib gamekek, says a lot about how undesirable jeets are
>>738340158>game about finding your ex wife that you still love on another planet>the twist is that you were actually a chud husband and chased her away so it's all your fault and you should reflect on your toxic masculinity >also your ex is now a lesbian and literal girlboss goddess who one shots you I can't imagine why it failed to reach gamers. This game would've sold like shit anyways but bless whoever leaked this god awful plot.
>>738342097Game ends with her basically saying “you thought I was some damsel in distress??? HA!!! Pathetic moid!” While you break down in the fetal position
>>738340158Sorry but I ain't playing as a fucking jeet
Did the game even receive any marketing? I didn't hear of it until I randomly saw it on metacritic's front page
I intended to buy it after pragmata but ironically did not due to the ending after defending both returnal and saaaaaaros on here in a fruitless and thankless effort for like 6 years. Returnal was God tier and it was impossible to discuss here due to old woman lel. Now I expected it to be the same due to gaslighting. But nah I watched the ending and it's over. These devs hate you and deserve to fail. Tiring. Wokeslop. Gameplay dumbed down for retards too but it still seems fun.,one of the pure gameplay games with awesome aesthetic and it's ruined by anti white anti relationship MEN BAD AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *fucks a black lesbian* slop
>>738342097It's The Boys all over again
>>738342683It’ll probably be on sale for like $15 bucks in a year, I would just buy it then for the gameplay
When this game comes to PC, you guys will suddenly be praising it.
>>738340324>beat by a game that released over 6 years ago on the worst platform to play it on
>Poo-r salesCome on, really? Was I supposed to just look past that?
>>738340486Same but I checked out the gameplay and absolutely hate the visuals and art direction. The dark and gold clashing with the bullet hell projectiles is annoying to look at
why didn't indians support?????
>>738343052It didn't release in India.India doesn't even have video games.
>>738340158>jeet cucks and lesbian niggers: in space!Who was this meant to appeal to exactly? Investment firms pushing zionist DEI policies?
>>738343098not true sar
>>738343021Was it at least better than the seizure-inducing gameplay from that game actually being developed in India?
>>738340158It could be. I remember a leftist using the lesbian thing to own le chud, saying that the protagonist (you) was the monster. I didn't know which game was about, but I guess it's Saaaaros.
>>738343221Unironically these look like well-adjusted individuals and are far less cringey than the contemporary American lines you see form for releases.
>>738340324>>738340158>April store ranking>game launched April 30th, the very last dayGrifter article
>>738343052Because the poo's want to be the big man chad, not the sniveling brown cuck who loses.
>>738340324This was the same studio that made Returnal, right? How do Saros' numbers compare to that?
>>738340158>Roguelite with content only for 12 hours. For comparison BoI Vanilla and Hades has 40 hours worth of content.>Pozzed story full of strongwoman lesbians and weak men.>70 buck price tag for a short PS5 exclusive in a genre primarily played by PC players.>Just Returnal again but shorter and less content.Yeah no shit it flopped.
sonyjeets don't buy exclusives
>>738343634So? Pragmata sold 1 million copies in 2 days.
Should've released on PCPS5 is a FIFA slop console
>>738341283Housemarque and Remedy both stopped hiring finnish developers years ago in favor of more "international (translation, californian feminist)" devs.
>>738340158Put it out on PC and I'll buy it for 30 bucks. Final offer. Console snoygers don't play bullet hells, even if they are third person and feature poojeets.
>>738340474>posting the fake versionThis the real one
>>738344014Pragmata is an interesting counterpoint here.>father simulator game to protect daughter>westoid GCJ/redditrannies seethe about muh lolis>sells 1m in 2 days, does good business for a new IP that's not a big deal>here comes Saros>you're playing as an Indian guy>your wife leaves you >game is about you being single and wanting that pussy back so much you go through hell to see her again>she's a lesbo and you're weak and should've been a Better Man>also a new IP, kind of like Returnal>underwhelming sales numbersIt's like a less embarrassing StS2 vs Marathon, kinda. Sony just can't stop losing money this gen, I guess.
>>738341154They never actually broke up. She simply pulled away and pretended it was all over.
>>738344065>terrible fucking turd being mocked and ridiculed>"Should've released on [my platform]"Why?
>>738342632Heard of it exactly twice outside /v/: Once during gaming awards and on a local lefty newsstation that always tries to gussy up the worst woke trashfires
SAAAR WHY YOU NO REDEEM, SAAR PLEASE SAAARS
I'm not playing as a fucking indian.
>>738344426Mustards really want to play Saros but can't so they've been relentlessly shitposting about it insteadit's that simple.
>>738341283>allergic to simply adding a White man as MCIt's called performative white guilt. They care about racism and shit enough to put a brown man front and center, but not enough to move out of their gated white-only communities.
>>738343221that line up is probably the curremt who's who in tech industtry.
I enjoyed Saros
>>738343098Marketing videogames to Indians is easy, you just have to tell them it's a high-caste hobby.
>>738340158>What went wrong with Saros?Playstation exclusive. No one gets a PS5 to play games.
I saw that the playable character is an Indian man and it turned me off to playing the game
>>738344339Pragmata is on FOUR fucking platforms, one of which is the switch 2. Saros is a first party exclusive funded by sony.
Yeah sure just like every other wokeflop that people totally wanted to play but Chuds made them shy away with dark meme magiks!
>>738344892>They care about racism and shit enough to put a brown man front and center, but not enough to move out of their gated white-only communities.Petty bourgeoisie neuroses are purely performative and hypocritical - news at 11.
>>738345124That's a fair point. Do we know the budgets for both games? If Saros' budget is as big or bigger than Pragmata, it would need to sell a ton to make up for only being on PS5, right?
>>738341283Hold on... Saaaaaros wasn't made by indians? These people are truly retards.
>>738345124I mean, if it's that easy why don't they just like... do that too? Do they hate money or something.
How long until they cave and make a PC version
>>738340324It was out for literally 1 day of April so that's pretty good
I just got to the Architect boss and its fun but returnal is better in every single way. The story is so bad even if you ignore the cuckoldry and pooloo shitThere is not a single likeable character in the entire cast, and that goes double for arjun
>>7383453292 more years. At full price too
>>738340158Why didn't you listen? All you had to do was redeem.
>>738345289Worse, it was made by Europeans.
>>738345334I promise you it isn’t. Still no 1m copies sold milestone announced
>>738345373i liked jerome
>>738345297If it's a timed exclusive then they're so retarded holy shit, only a few big name games can get away with it but bro, you got a new IP, why don't you take every advantage possible what the fuck.
they can release it on PC in two years and then blame it on that
>>738345861Weren't there a lot of rumors about Sony moving away from PC ports, though?
>>738345541Only asian companies are so worried about their relevance that they constantly stay on top of sales milestones
>>738341154why was this the plot in the first place?
Good.
>>738345746I also enjoyed the 3 minutes he was in the game
Fucking chud bigot losers!Such insecure little pp men that you don't want to play a nice game with a nice story where everyone is a faggot/lesbian, and your end goal is you getting cuck by your own wife who chooses a black lesbian to be her emotional bonding partner helper.It must be because you can't get laid!
>>738340158That explains the journalists early damage control
>>738344892>It's called performative white guilt.Many such cases. In fact, almost all of them. It's like the carbon neutral tax or offset thing you sometimes see these days. No, we don't want to make the necessary sacrifices to our personal lives in the way that we preach, nor fundamentally re-arrange the real world to reflect our idealized pretend one, so we'll just pay it off by inserting woke stuff everywhere. Karma +/- 0 achieved!
>>738346072Nope. All Sony singleplayer first party studios announce sales milestones. In fact they just announced the game sold three times faster than Returnal but still no actual sales numbers. Telling
>>738340158WE MUST BE BETTER SIRS
>>738340158Why doesn't India play games? If they just released it there and was like check out this Indian actor dude they would probably buy millions.
>>738340158It seemed like a WORSE Returnal, so I decided I wouldn't buy it. And from what I've watched, that is exactly what it is.Returnal, but add a retarded progression system, in form of the PoE skill tree, but mostly only with the boring stat notes. Then make it so there's significant spikes between the areas in the game to force you to engage with the progression system, and then they added a retarded hub where you talk to uncanny valley looking scuffed uninteresting characters between runs.Fucking dogshit, Housemarque has lost it by catering to le modern audience.
>>738344426So we could have steam chart threads and for literally no other reason
>>738347224Based chart bro
>>738345373I watched the preview longplay before it released and it was almost constant insufferable radio banter.
Sarrr...We did nod redeem inwestmen...
>>738340158Shame is it's really fun. It delivers harder on the bullet hell concepts than Returnal did, lots of fun shit to dodge
>>738347408It's not constant but there's way too much of it, especially in the first hour which is probably what the preview is showing.Not a deal breaker for me but it feels like they got a bunch of notes from the studio of "game design bullet points" like constant radio chatter to restate the plot and tell you to move, and a diverse cast of bland NPCs to talk to. I absolutely preferred Returnal's more minimal style that put you right in the core gameplay and only gave brief interludes of story stuff
>>738347023We must do the needful and see that total happiness in the world has increased. This is a good thing sirs.
>>738347952Very much true saar. It is my fault for not doing needful and being basterd benchod to my wife
>>738340158>saaroskek what kind of retard decided this was a good name
>>738340416Keep in mind thats physical charts too so its even worse with that context because Cyberpunk is 6 years old and expansion is almost 3 years old too. Physical copies of older titles are more expensive since Cyberpunk digitally goes on sale very often while Ultimate Edition is sold at full price. This means newest Sony AAA exclusive lost to physical sales of 6 years old game in UK which is a massive Snoy stronghold even more so than rest of EU since Spain,France and Italy has some Nintendo fans too lol.
>>738340343Underrated and unredeemed
Saros is sitting in the Top 8 on the PlayStation Store across all regions
>>738347852> like constant radio chatter to restate the plotYou know Netflix is responsible for this as a by product of people phone scrolling while watching. Then complaining they did not know what is going on in reviews.So it picked up steam in the SanFran/Hollywood writing circles.It is why dialog levels of>Somehow Palpatine returnedIs creeping in to games. Look it up, no joke that is why dialog sucks ass now. It is to combat twitter and tictok addiction.
>>738341154>BE BETTER MEN CHUDS
Budget of Saros is €70m ($82m)
>>738340158It just looks like shit. Photorealistic indian man running at incredibly hihg speed shooting lasers at abstract, floating aliens. Why.First game was no better.
>>738340158>No PC port>PC port of their last game (Returnal) needing stupid high specs for the Sony Magical Negro tech (a faster SSD).I just fucking want Super Stardust HD on Steam, House Marquee. Why can't you give me that?
>>738340158https://vocaroo.com/1iuNhFiOeJUP
>>738348372still getting mogged by fucking Fortnite in all regions, a 9 year old game that is reportedly at some of its lowest player counts ever.Great exclusive, Sony - hope abandoning PC works out for them.
>>738349148Fortnite is still a juggernaut
>its not typical snoy third person cinematic experience but fast paced shooter focused on gameplay loop>it flopsIts another AstroBot and Ratchet Rift Apart situation. Yes game hasa jeet cuckold as mc but this shows once again how modern snoys dont buy anything else than very specific snoy cinematic titles that basically are Last of Us but [here insert IP]. Sony ironically really fucked themselves in the ass with PS4 and one note first party output through entire generation so literally anything different than snoy massive budget third person cinematic experience gets ignored by nu Playstation fans.
>>738340158More like Poo Start, lmao
>>738341154Women shouldn't be allowed to leave a man in the first place.
>>738340474They made a mamdani game?
>>738349218not anywhere close to what it used to be judging by all of Timmy Tencent's recent layoffs
>>738340193Budget is full AAA, about twice that of Returnal. Maybe 80 million. It's just charting...okish. If it falls off, it will be in serious trouble. If it holds, it will be ok.Returnal did well, but mostly because of it's constrained budget.
>>738349526can't forget that Marketing cost will be additional 10s of millions of dollars
>>738341025Characters were also not compelling.>>738342632I actually saw the shitposting and thought it was a fake game first.>>738342683Just get it in the discount bin.
>>738342868Didn't happen for returnal, and this is dumber than that game.
>>738340158they thought an indian shit game will be better than butch lesbian KEK next time do a faceless astronaut lost in crazy shit pure gameplay
>>738343873Unfortunately about the same. Saaros needs to do MUCH better to meet budget.
>>738347852yeah returnal might have not had the best story or main character but it was really atmospheric and lonely and nice and quiet besides the occasional dialogue from selene talking to herself the facial animations in saros are so shit to and it becomes so much more obvious when they do the zoom in during in engine dialogue scenes
>>738340158Steam doesn't look that bad now, right Sony? Let them burn.
>>738348660Still might not be enough if Returnal couldn't sell 1m units. Is Saros $70?
>>738349228lets be honest nobody would buy a game that was a free demo and ratchet fursona genderbent lying about loading times and shill it as the greatest new shit
>>738345257We don't know for sure.Returnal:AA about 35 millionPragmata: AAA about 50 millionSaros: AAA about 75 million.>>738347037I don't think you underestand exactly how poor much of the country is.
Press s to shit on the street
>>738340158>Imagine wanting to play as an Indian >A cucked Indian at thatSomeone actually greenlit this thinking it would sell KEK.
Do you think this will be the last of the "woke" games (for lack of a better word). I feel most of these got going in the pipeline 5+ years ago and are all just coming out now.
>>738350103India is full of brahmin stock saar very rich superpower saaaar
DONOTREDEEM
>>738350214not until the space lesbian naughty dog game release and if flops
Objectively speaking can indians salvage their reputation?
>>738350214LOL. FAIRGAMES#AC HEXENInterstellar?Upcoming future AAA project from the tranny who made veilguard.We have a few years left, and the industry hasn't really shifted.
>>738350320Of course. Japan did it after fucking pearl harbor.There's going to be a future conflict between China and India. That's going to have wild side effects.
>>738345124Didn't the PS5 sell over 80 million units?
>>738350103>Pragmata: AAA about 50 millionSource? That shit got announced 6 years ago during first PS5 presentation and was in dev hell even director admitted so.
Are people really ignoring it’s like the top 5 selling game on psn in like every region
>>738350320Being disgusting biohazards is coded into Jeets at the genetic level. They will never be a respectable people.
>>738350329Isn't Hexe getting emergency retcons? They booted like 80 people from the dev team and toned down the witch stuff.
Aegh....you blody bich bastards...buy the saaros!!!
>>738350536NTA, but it could've had a tiny team and Jap salaries are way, way smaller than bloated Califorian ones.
>>738340158Sonysaars... we should've boughted it... Our last chance at bobs and vagene
>>738350458>A billion jeets fleeing to EuropeGod help them, I wouldn't even wish that on my worst enemy.
Why would pajeets even play saars if it leads to izzat lost due to cuck ending?
>>738350551Its fully priced title and these charts are by revenue. Im not saying it flopped or whatever but fully priced AAA title reaching top 5 spot at storefront during week of its release means absolutely nothing. Shit like DA Veilguard or Marathon were in top 5 sellers on Steam globally for over a week before release.>>738350683SaarOS was developed in Finland which is also significantly cheaper than California aka literally most expensive place on the planet.
Bullet hells, even fancy 3D ones, are normalfag repellant. That's the actual reason.
>>738350830its not just jeets but sandniggers. Soon Ireland will have sharia law and four armed elephant statues. The native europeans either need to fight back and start purging or their entire country will be dysgenic, gangly, weak-gripped and brown in 2 generations.
>>738350869I was talking about Pragmata having a low dev cost. Saaros probably cost what Returnal did +25% because of inflation, so probably around $90-100m
>>738349228>cuckdom>we must be better men>lesbiansi don't know it looks like a typical sony game to me
>>738340537In this case the watermark is an accurate statement about the effort made to create the game
>>738350458>pearl harborThat wasn't so much salvaging reputation as it was brat correction.
SANJEETA MA'AM DO NOT REDEEM THE GIRL BBC
>>738348660>70 milFucking retards should've saved on voice actors.
>>738351161If Saros had actual futa it would've been a more interesting game.
>>738350571yeah but like how much can they retcon? it was supposed to be a feminist witch game, how the fuck do you change that without rewriting the whole game?
>>738350214If it wasn't already clear the industry will ride this train until it's normalized or the industry collapses.
>>738350523Yes, and that only meaningfully impacts the bottom line of sports games.
>>738341487Anon i dont know what your particular fetish is that you identify with cuckolding but what you described, a mans wife leaving him for another man, is in fact the historical action from which the term cuckold is coined.
>>738340158Is our world even real anymore? This game is a shitpost, of course it's not gonna sell. Everything about it reads like a greentext to make fun of wokeslop, but it exists - it's a serious project adult humans spend their time on as a job, so many people involved, companies, money. This can't be real, right? We are in a simulation and each day they turn up the clown modifier by 0.001 to see when we notice, right? I refuse to believe random chance caused a game to exist with a yeet protag that is called "Saros" and then it just keeps going.
>>738340158!#%$ YOU, IT'S STABLE.
>>738350942why are normalfags so afraid to leave their comfort zone and try something different
>>738342632Maybe my algorithms aren't mainstream enough but I only saw shitposting on /v/ pre-release.I feel like Returnal got a lot more marketing.
>>738351403>This game is a shitpost, of course it's not gonna sell. Everything about it reads like a greentext to make fun of wokeslop, but it exists - it's a serious project adult humans spend their time on as a job, so many people involved, companies, money. This can't be real, right?I mean, Dustborn's like 2 years old at this point. Is this even a surprise anymore?
>>738351083Story wise yes but its actually arcadey title very focused on gameplay not cutscenes.
This begs the question: did a single Sony firstparty title actually do well this gen? All of their singleplayer cinematic slop like Spiderman underperformed, and all of their other exclusives like Astro bot and Saros flopped
>>738351403It’s still number 4 on the us sales charts
>>738341154I'm glad to know that you, a castrated creature, won't be able to pass on your genes
>>738351618If Saros actually gets 1m-2m in a few days and posts about it, I'm going to laugh because it will have done better than Marathon at that point
>>738351595no
>>738351172>budget is now 69.5m €HOUSEMARQUE HIRE THIS MAN
>>738351403you sound chronically online
>>738341025well there's also the fact that>main character is a fucking jeet>you cheat on your girl with a fucking dude, making you a jeet faggot>your wife cucks you with a sheboonwho the fuck would want to play this gay shit?
>>7383401586 years in and PS5 still has no games. Grim.But they - the joke's on me too, I also fell for it, I also boughted the useless alien router.
>>738351403It makes a lot more sense when you realize the average millenial cuck game dev actually lives life like the protagonist in Saros
>>738351408because everyone has played a bullet hell at some point and already made their choice about that shit?
I've played double the hours I played in returnal and I'm only halfway. Game of the decade
>>738351929Finally someone who actually enjoys games and not all the other bullshit
>>738351823and you sound like a chronically submissive bitch, so?
>>738350523>>738351308At least half of those 80 million are sitting in scalper's basements
>>738351231Honestly turning a witch into a magicless assassin sounds like a massive retcon with a ton of work required.
>>738351595Stellar Blade
>>738351929>>738352007Tried Returnal and it was nothing special, got bored quickly. Does Saros do radically different to justify it being the game of the decade in your eyes? Because it looks like more of the same shit to me
>>738352107they have to redo the whole story and hire a male voice actor to not have a female mc only gameif they had a brain they'd cut their lossesalas it's ubisoft so they'll spend 2 more years on a game that won't recoup costs
>>738352332More of the same with a lot of improvements
>>738340158I'm waiting for the Collector's Redeemed edition.
>>738352332it has easy and hard mode nowand it's even more of a woke therapy talk game
>>738352332It's as good as everyone pretends returnal is but better
>>738351403What do you mean? It is not normal to notices changes in the constant distribution of time and space dialy? Everyday I feel like Nemo trapped inside Acecombat3 (the matrix), everybody feels like a program, fake emotions, fake ideas, can't process new thoughts without following the herd, can't recognize good flavors and nice designs.Everything is worse since 2015, nobody wants to accept it. Even in my dreams somebody keeps telling me "we are only ones left".
>>738351618These charts are worthless, anon. Not only because sony has proven multiple times already that if they care they will simply pretend games are doing well, but even if it was reliable (which hey, probably is in this case, because they would've put it at 1) it's at 4 by losing to the regular sales of dated liveservice and sports slop. To make the comparison, Invincible VS is at 7, do you think that game is doing big numbers? Those are >what else even is there to play on this thing?sales.
>>738352396It's still female MC but they are doing big rewrites. Her ability to conjure smoke with magic got replaced with the classic smoke bomb.
>>738340193Poop levels
>>738352942this won't fix shitthe worst ist the game setting, like even if they made not woke and male MC it's 19th century germany as a setting... like lmao
woke is now dead but anti woke grifters are desperate for new woke content to criticize so they're now making shit uplike claiming saros is a cuck movie game when it's a cool bullet hell gameor that the new nolan kino will have a black girl as helen of troyit's this new weird bizarre trendbecause chuds are now resorting to blatant lying they're becoming insufferable meanwhile trump has betrayed all his promises and the pendulum will soon swing to the left again
No release on PC. Cucks eternally BTFO.
>>738353162Steam has a ton of NTR games though.
>>738353116poojeets are not cool
>>738353116>chuds are lying that the game about an indian cuck is about an indian cuck>and lying that a black actress is blackEh?
>>738353162Sony wins again, sweet baby!
>>738353363They do all of this just to get the same 85%+ male demographic buying their console and games
>>738340158>SAAROSCan't make this shit up
>>738349218Who the fuck is playing Fortnite on a PS5? Definitely not the zoomer kids.
>>738353363being a sony paypig is the ultimate humiliation ritual
>Indian protagonist is a closet fag>His wife is a closet lesbian Fucking lol.
>>738340158should've gone with anime artstyleanime fans love being cucked by a woman
Put in on PC and maybe I'll buy it for 20 bucks
>>738353597Isn't Fortnite's death "it makes 4 billion dollars a year instead of 6 billion"?
>>738353116how is woke dead? cause marvel rivals released a year ago? everything is more censored than even 2 years ago. let alone since 2016.
>>738353659Only yurifags and normalfags. Anime fans have a huge divide with "girls should be loyal to literally me the MC" and "girls should fuck around with each other"
>>738353732Pretty much
>>738342632I don't think they have spent any movie on marketing. Our national videogame radio program hasn't even mentioned it and those retards shill every single new Sony and Ubisoft crap on the clock
>>738340158But it had everything a sony fan could want, unappealing protagonist and gay stuff!
>>738353363i don't own a shitbox, but i just dont get how xbox cant outsell this bullshit. the most appealing looking game is just mario with cameos.
>>738342710at least the comics were based though
>>738353657this is like the musa thing, had it leaked before release people wouldn't have believed it
Good. Let it flop.You could have released day 1 on PC, but you would rather have your games flop.
>>738340158>What went wrong with Saros? Was the misinformation campaign and people rudely leaking the story a factor in the poor sales?I don't constantly follow game news. Just maybe once or twice a month in my free time.I literally only found out about Saros a couple weeks ago. Barelly any exposure.That's a problem that sony has had since the late PS2 days. They barelly have any marketing. In contrast I don't even play Nintendo games and yet I know significantly more about them than anything Sony (I'm not a sonyfag either, btw).
>>738353908Reminds me of Life is Strange where everyone thought dating a lesbian was hot but they weren't prepared for the emotional abuse, cheating and gaslighting.
>>738344339>>father simulator game to protect daughterit's a pedo simulator you retard
>>738353867money*
>>738354027A game could have all the marketing, you won't hear of it if you really only look at game news once a month.
>>738345329We already know how shit pc sales are for Sony’s gams, it wouldn’t have helped much at all. This game was always going to underperform
>>738342249Another case of progressives not buying a product made just for them.
>738354072Rope. Now
>>738349414Mamdani hails from the Turco-Iranic elite who ruled India and dominated the brown dravidian masses for centuries so the poop meme doesn't apply to him.
>>738354127Day 1 releases have sold the best on PC. Of course 2 year old ports past their marketing and hype aren't going to sell super good.However, it's mostly the sequels that haven't sold much. First games have sold 3-5 million on PC, probably more than Saros will sell in it's entire lifetime on PS5.
CHOO CHOO MOTHERFUCKERS
>>738354136But when God of War does it, everyone jumps for joy. They don't want things made for them, they just want things ruined for chuds.
>>738354323The only reason why god of war is even remotely successful is because it's piggybacking on an older existing IP.
>>738354127Helldivers 2 sold a lot because it was released day 1. No is buying this shit 2 years later. Compare the year 3 console sales to the PC release for a fair comparison.
Someone needs to shop SAAROS onto that "Playstation Presents NTR(adio)" picture
>>738354205It's like that guy that did the DMC and Castlevania animes who bitches about the British Empire and America, but lives in a cushy, gated white community in Los Angeles.
A black lesbian is on screenBe a better man, listen and learn
I don't have a stake in this game because I'm a tendie but it's telling that you've gone an entire thread without seeing any gameplay whatsoever. I don't think I've seen gameplay from this game when I passively look in these threads
I'll be pirating this on PC and playing in korean with subtitles off while using SpecialK texture replacement to swap the nig or just swap the model altogether
>>738353920Xbox always had better diversity when it comes to genres at least. MS would need to have to go through pains of short term losses but Xbox coming back as competitive platform is doable because Sonys first party studios sniff their own farts and release gay shit asset flips of the last of us. Say anything you want about Xbox and quality of games but they cover almost every single genre while Sony just shits out third person cinematic experiences.
>>738342097unironically who the fuck is this for. This last year i have been playing almost exclusively high power fantasy games after taking a break for a few years, with my first ever playthrough of bayonetta being the most recent and its the most fun ive had with games in a long fucking time. if the end of the game was that you had to punch a hole to the center of a planet and subsequently genocide a planets worth of people to rescue her after being kidnapped and having her soul used as a power source for years this would have done 1mil sales in the first hour
>>738354787That's because nobody here has played it. We are just seething about Indians.
REDEEM THE SAROS BLOODY BLASTERDS
>>738354787Too much gameplay for /v/
>>738354787The gameplay is probably good, it's a successor to Returnal which was fun. But the jeetery and the cuckery is such a turn-off no one has gameplay footage to share.
>>738342868Anon, people had the chance to buy Sony games on PC and didn't. People don't like those titles because they are bad, not because of console war reasons.Maybe you're projecting because you're only defending that poo because it's an exclusive.
>>738340486How the fuck is it misinterpreted lmao
>>738354205>Mamdani hails from the jeets who ruled India and dominated the jeet masses for centuries so the poop meme applies to every jeet.Don't try to church it up, dirt.
lol
>>738341154Not a good plot either lmao>>738342249Surely if he's the bad person they make him out to be (he killed his friend who found out he cheated ffs) wouldn't he just blow her brains out?
>>738355037Day 1 releases of Sony games have sold the best on PC. You can't expect massive sales of 2 years old ports which are way past their marketing and hype peak.
That's right, chuds.
>>738354001>assuming the GaaS slop will sellWTF Snoy?
>>738340158Do not publish the sales numbers
>>738354787i've posted gameplay before but anons are too busy talking about jeets, gays, and cuckery
>>738340158Gameplay looked good, but the jeet main character and the utterly cucked story killed it on the spot. Sony devs need to start facing real consequences for sabotaging their games with this kind of cancer.
>>738340158Ignoring the whole Indian thing, the horrible characters and the fact that is Returnal (again)... the game just doesn't look good.It has that asset flip feel, animations are weird, colour grading is all over the place, it just looks and feels cheap.A small example of this "cheap game" feeling: after the tutorial you get a high-speed assault rifle, I know it's THE FUUUUTURE and weapons are super advanced and whatever, but the rifle has like zero recoil, the character stays COMPLETELY STILL while firing, there's zero animations other than the particle effects coming out of the rifle, you can cover the rifle with your hand on the screen and the character is 100% static.
Can't wait for the next game to have Queen Latifa as the protagonist.
>>738354205And a ringy ding to you too sir
>>738340158I think it would have unironically been better to make him black. Indians are the one brown race right now that its perfectly fine to be adverse too. Everything indian practically radioactive with over a decade of scam calls, horrific behavior, and no white guilt over slavery
>>738355079>hails from the jeetsThey weren't jeets, they were conquerors who came from the central asian steppes and took the entire country with only a few thousand horsemen. This is what Babur thought of indians after conquering them.
>>738355459Maybe try playing it instead of watching a 240p YouTube video
>>738340158For a second I though it said poop start.
>>738340158>pajeet>better menWhat can possibly go wrong?
>>738350214No. The people making them are still the same agenda driven retards.
>>738345769>>738345297>>738345124It's sony exclusive because house marquee is owned by sony and made the game with sony's money. It's not gonna get ported anywhere either because Sony is retreating from ports after being huffy their sloppy seconds didn't sell gangbusters on Steam.
>>738350942>Bullet hells, even fancy 3D ones, are normalfag repellant.Touhou exists.
>>738356159Besides multiplayer games. They actually think Hell Divers 2 sold a lot on PC because it's multiplayer and not because it's the only one that was released day 1. The people in charge don't have any idea what they are doing.
>>738342249oh, this post made it so i'll never buy it even on sale. it's insane how much game devs started to make games that are anti male in an industry dominated by men.
Luna Abyss looks better. First person, on PC, and no roguelite slop.
>>738355342When will companies remember that men want games where they save the damsel in distress? Perhaps the reason why Nintendo is still doing well is because they've generally stuck with that formula for Mario and Zelda and their girl boss games failed spectacularly. Idk why people think they know better than over 2,000 years worth of stories. "Modern era" is a poor excuse when people haven't changed biological in 500 years, let alone 20.
>>738351083except this one has actual gameplay.
>>738356321>The people in charge don't have any idea what they are doing.Just like Arrowhead.I saw a stupid meme thing once that went, 'videogames is a funny industry, all you have to do is not fuck up as spectacularly a your competitor'.Nintendo fucked up and Sony became dominant. Sony fucked up and Microsoft became dominant. Microsoft fucked up and Sony became dominant again.Sony is in the process of fucking up, again, and microsoft might be trying to right itself. Nintendo of course has fucked off to do it's own thing, but switch 2 might finally be their next fuck-up. Fits their pattern, n64-gamecube-wii-wiiu-switch-switch 2.
>>738310819>there was an unusual uptick in Snoy shitposting>Nintendo announces a Star Fox 64 Remake that looks pretty good outside of the character models. Game is $60 physical and $50 digital complete with online MP and several offline modes>Sony's $70 cucky Indian shooter was a flopTurns out the frogposter was right. We ended up getting bad news for Sony and good news for Nintendo.
>>738356690>>738355342The issue isn't the plot persay, the issue is they spring it on you as a tweest, which in turn insults the audience and yanks them out of immersion. This is because videogames are not film, and you cannot write them as fucking film. People will always identify with the protagonist because the protagonist's actions are yours, and when you cast aspersions or reveal the protagonist was bad, you're leveling an accusation at the audience. This is bound to upset people and leave a sour taste in their mouth.Spec-Ops The Line at least had the dignity to not make it a secret or hide what it was doing from the start.
>>738356729>Nintendo of course has fucked off to do it's own thing, but switch 2 might finally be their next fuck-upIt's fucking up by... selling really well? Splatoon Raiders, that Yoshi game and Star Fox are being sold at a lower price than most big releases, so they've learned their lesson pretty quickly.
>>738356597>12 accessibility featuresmy woke senses are tingling
>>738340474looks kino lol
>>738356597No it doesn't. It looks worse in every way.
>>738356992I was interested in this game a while ago, so I joined their discord and saw tranny flags everywhere.Returnal is one of the best games I have ever played and Saaros would have been a pre order on PC. Too bad Playstation is run by idiots.
>>738357083False. Any game with roguelite elements is automatically and immediately worse than any game that doesn't.

>>738355015>REDEEM THE SAROS BLOODY BLASTERDSI can't wait for the Indian Tomb Raider to flop next. Indians and woke leftists BTFO.
>>738340158/v/ already spoiled the ending for me, don't care, still enjoying the gameplay and that's all that matters. Controls are tighter than your mom's cunt.
>>738357390most jamboy post on this site, of the last 10 minutes at least
saarOS
>>738356861That's a fair point, a lot of people get into the role they play in games. In something like Witcher 3 ,players will pretend they're Geralt. That's why the decisions are more impactful, when a game tells you that you're a fucking piece of shit loser, that's not what you want in your escapism. Especially when someone may be a piece of shit loser in real life and that's the last thing they want, some faggot that just got divorced is going to be triggered by Saros lmao. I see a lot of people posit on why older games are perceived as better and it's because they're male power fantasies 99% of the time. That's not to say games can't have deep stories but you can do that without going the Spec Ops route where the game is 1 gigantic shame simulator.
>>738356992>Playable at your own paceWhat does that even mean in practical terms? You can pause the game? There are no timers?
>>738357669It means bloody basterd Dalits won’t bother u while playing
>>738345329They stopped making pc games 27 years ago, so no.
>>738356690I want games where I make the damsel distressed.
>>738357189>my indian game is so peak, saars
>>738357605Even people who don't roleplay and don't project, inherently there's more self identification with the protagonist of a game than the protagonist of a film. The game is experienced only by your interaction and activity, film is passive.Not EVERYONE is gonna be offended by the subversion, but enough to harm a mass media project sure. And videogames at the end of the day are a product, a dream to be sold. Dev costs are too high in AAA for anything but the massest of media slop. Which is why these studios keep releasing one flop and immediately closing.
>>738357189>cleanest street in Hyderabad
>>738357390>don't care, I'm having a blast, saars
>>738357448Don't care about Saarjeet Betterman's story, really liking the gunplay.
>>738358671I'm surprised it's a lesson that the game industry is ignoring because TLoU 2's backlash encapsulates this perfectly. As time goes on, it's going to be even bigger financial suicide because some Chinese company will steal the gameplay elements and throw in waifus and then no one is going to be interested in paying $70 for a game telling them they're bad when the free game tells them that they're good and the anime babes/dudes are on their dick/pussy 24/7. Every one of these games that fails and has a gacha clone pop up is going to normalize people playing gachas and lead to less sales for the entire industry. We're already seeing articles about how gamers are buying less games for full price now, it's only going to get worse and they are digging their own graves.
>>738358816I'm a snow-white man from Kentucky. Stupid idiot.
>>738340158How well did Returnal do when it first launched? Curious
>>738359601>peakExclusivity and still running on the "goodwill" of the ps4
>>738350214No. It's not about money. It's about sending a message.
>>738340158It's simply just that literally nobody gives a shit, I talked about it with one close friend and a normie coworker who plays the latest AAA slop and neither of them had even fucking heard of it
>>738359548>saar, I'm a white Brahmin, saar
>>738350536It was also an 'instructional project" to train people. Director's first game. Restrained budget. Original scope was AA.
>>738350571So did AC shadows. >>738350834Ask them directily. I'm curious.
>>738351076No. We actually have estimates from the devs themselves. Returnal was cheap as fuck to make, by comparison. Pragmata only has analyists estimates.
>this threadSuccess breeds jealousy
>>738351595Ghost of Yotei did fine, mostly because they kept the budget under control to 50 million. Weak compared to tsushima.>>738351806I guarantee saaros will do better than marathon financially. Remember that Marathon's a 40 dollar title, and has like 3x the budget.

>>73834019330k discord users!
The funniest thing about SAAROS' story is that the game's story was told much better in the final episode of the original Teen Titans show.
>>738355194>Surely if he's the bad person they make him out to be (he killed his friend who found out he cheated ffs) wouldn't he just blow her brains out?LOL. You aren't the sharpest tool in the kekshed. They're only allowed to fight in the most nerfed, abstract, dot shielding way possible. He's not going to maritally rape the fuck out of her, the way I'm told happens all the goddam time all over india, and is a problem we need to solve by moving lots of indians into this country.
SAAAR YOU BLOODY FUCK YOU BITCHOT, WHY DO YOU NOT REDEEM THE GAME?ARE YOU RACIST?ARE YOU A BLOODY PAKI?ARE YOU A BLOODY AI?YOUR MOM ONLY FANS MODEL BUY LOTS OF THIS GAME FOR MY COCK YOU TIMMY BASTARDWE ARE CEO WE ARE GAME MAKERYOU BLOODY FUCKING BUY THE GAME NOW
Do you guys even play games anymore?
>>738359601Poorly but had legs. This time it's supposed to have the rep of returnal and double the budget to rely on. We'll have to see how it goes. The fact that kotaku has to simp for it is not a good sign.
>poop elemental posts median household income when poop elementals like 50 to one home
>>738360595You don't grasp that this is actually the greatest MMO of them all. Even when big companies try to P2W with pure marketing dollars. But that's ok.Make a new thread about a game you're really passionate about.
>>738360767the fuck are you sayin nigga?
>>738360243>household income>degreesIndian household means their entire extended family and their degrees are fake so this does make sense.
>>738340158It's almost like no one actually owns a ps5
From a better source>Initial commercial performance of Saros has aligned with internal forecasts, delivering a 4x uplift versus Returnal’s worldwide launch week baseline. Indicators point to stronger-than-anticipated market penetration, particularly across non-traditional and emerging territories.
>>738360243Funny what having 10 people to a house does to your household income.

>>738354205jeet is jeet - no exceptions
>>738346721>>738345192I recently heard an interesting take from Josh Strife Hayes (during the second half of this video: https://youtu.be/2_LhZmmVVL8?si=VWWqSXRR9dmTtQUi) where he identifies something about leftism:You get the feelings of doing good deeds without actually having to do anything. He compares to people who make vows for self improvement: if you tell others that you are going to lose weight / start reading / become organized then your brain will give you the reward feeling when you say it. So the common advice is to not tell others, but to just do the thing, lest your brain give you the reward feeling and stop you. He thinks that much of this modern leftist behavior is people who want the dopamine hit from being seen to be a good person without actually doing the work of being a good person. (I could have pretended this was my take but I wanted to link the video, since it's well presented and changed my view a bit.)
>>738341154that's nice still not playing your cuck game
shouldve had a granny protag like the first game
>>738361406also give her a big butt
>>738361457
>>738360846Both seem likely. The problem is that Retunral's launch week was fucking weak, and saros has double the budget. If it holds and does 4x returnal's take for something close to 4 million sold, it will be ok enough, but given the "too much of the same" and weak draw of the story and characters, I don't think you can count on that.>>738361457The GILF market is woefully untapped.>>738361051There seem to be a hell of a lot of them on public welfare here.

>>7383401583 reasons why it flopped.1. PS5 exlusive.2. Price is to expensive for what the game is.3. Its just a copy and paste game of PS5 Returnal with a male protag and shit story.

>>738361030>It’s the #1 selling game in Newest DelhiNo way
The whole point of the roguelite genre is to provide a lot of gameplay for a cheap price due to a lower budget. No one is paying $70 one.

>hey you know that game nobody cared about>let's make another oneReturnal didn't even sell one million copies in its first year on the market and it's not like there was a lot of PS5 games to pick from in 2021. And then they took five years to make another one and hired Rahul Kohli and other actors for mocapping and shit.I feel like Housemarque is kind of one of the odd ones out because Sony doesn't usually greenlight a game until somebody already proves that formula is profitable, e.g. Ghost of Tsushima would never have gotten made if they couldn't copy basically all the gameplay systems from Assassin's Creed.It's the weird combination of>very arcade-y gameplay-focused shit that Housemarque does>high budget production values for the sake of "prestige"Meanwhile you have a bunch of small dev teams at the indie level shitting out roguelite FPS/TPS games with similar gameplay to Returnal/Saros. This did not need the tens/hundreds of millions Sony probably spent on it to bruteforce to a market cap of less than a million at a premium AAA price.Fuck's sake they got Rahul Kohli doing Warhammer Boltgun 1/2 and that shit probably had fuck all of a budget compared to Saros.What was the game plan here?>have nice cutscenes>hire that one guy from a bunch of TV shows>????profit
>>738367712They buy a lot of games in india, Playstation has a 90% marketshare over there. https://0451games.substack.com/p/best-selling-games-india-2025-ps5-xbox-series-x-nintendo-switch
>>7383401931 million
>>738340158the cover art of this game legit looks ai generated, idk if that's the style they were going for but it looks so unappealing
>>738342683Why do retards like you do this?>overton window is moving left, wokifing shit>nah it's not bad, old woman is not a thing CHUD>overton window keeps moving left, wokifing shit even more>Ahh wtf, they ruined ityou literally enabled them to do this. you are a fucking frog getting boiled alive and you mock everybody that is outside the pot, telling you that shit is getting cooked.
>>738368419Qualify "a lot". Something like 50k sold over three fucking months is their idea of a blockbuster.>>738368142that sounds pretty much like their plan. They thought they could scale up on Returnal by going towards Hollywood shit and doubling the budget. It's a core thesis of Sony.
>>738340158Fuck you bloody bastard bitch
>>738366806>tattooshe's a whore
>make Returnal>do very little to change what you did in Returnal>get good reviewsThis is legitimately the biggest example of "X Company Bonus" and there is absolutely nothing you can do to disprove that. This game does nothing new from the last.
returnal wasn't even that popular so why the fuck did they think a more expensive sequel would sell more
>>738369672I get what you're saying but Ghost of Tsushima scored low 80s and Ghost of Yotei scored high 80s despite no meaningful gameplay improvements, while the aggregate difference between Returnal and Saros is basically a quirk of arithmetic.
>>738340158I've never seen anyone actually talk about the gameplay. What is it?
can't even remember the last sony game that didn't flop
>>738369848Minus 15% on that for the 15% they added to the score to "pwn da chuds".
has someone explained why they called a game with an indian lead saaros, like cmon how tone deaf can you be
>>738369897Roguelite TPS, think like the Hades kind of formula where you ostensibly get stronger with the stuff you accomplish in each run, but over the shoulder with guns.
>>738369897More returnal, just with reflecting dots with a shield too and guns instead of weird science weapons.
>>738369909Helldivers 2 probably just because it was Sony just giving Arrowhead money to make the games they were already making and probably just ironically flew under the radar while Sony and Bungie were bungling everything else trying to hop on every nascent trend.
>>738369672>do very little to changethat's not an issue retard if the game is good
>>738369672>>do very little to changeso they should make it worse you fucking retard just so retards like you can say it's different
>>738370349>>738370382>enemies look the same>the enemies attacks look the same>the gun feel the same>environments look the sameHow is this a good thing? Returnal came out 5 years ago.
>>738370434returnal was a flop so it's smart to not invest too much into the sequel>but it's the same thingretards still called TOTK a masterpiece
>>738344426steam charts threads? god knows I'm glad sony is doing exclusives again, keeps at least some filth of steam.
>>738340158Oh this was made by the guys who made Dead Nation.
The plot kind of sounds like Braid
>>738340158Does it feature cow dung missions? https://youtu.be/_WsPZC1-TLo?si=zLnpOMAbw36k37tp
>>738370820>indian gods are born from shitBruh
>>738361265I don't know who that Hayes dude is, but that's bullshit. The point of announcing intentions like this to other people (I plan to lose weight/do more sports/stop smoking) is that these other people will then hold you accountable on your (lack of) progress. And even if they are too polite to say anything, you know or atleast fear that they are judging you internally. Making a "vow" like this is a way to motivate yourself by putting social pressure on yourself.
>>738341154Lol what a cuck
why is the story being "sometimes relationships dont work out also dont cheat xd" supposed to be badmedia so far has made men miserable by deluding them that relationships are awesome and amazing
>>738357189
>>738341154if this was a real life scenario suremaking an entire game about it is an elaborate cuck fantasy though
>How can we top a geriatric woman?>A pajeet!
>>738353363I genuinely find it hilarious how hard Sony tries to pander to female audiences in the last 10 years, only for Nintendo to effortlessly steal all the attention with things like Animal Crossing and Tomodachi
>>738340158SAAAAAAAAAAAARos!
>What went wrong with Saros?As a more casual gamer, I can tell you what I disliked about it from a glance and what my circle of friends disliked too.First was the protagonist - I'm sorry, but none of us wanted to play as an Indian. When the game was first announced, it was the first thing all of us saw and my friends, total normalfags with wives and kids immediately shouted, "SAAR" to immediate laughter of all the other people there.Second was the cover art - it's just not appealing. Ugly darker colors, weird Indian God backdrop. Bad looking character design. It doesn't immediately tell us what it's about nor did it make me think, "Cool"Third was the leaked story - Just why? You make a game about Third Person Action and Shooting, your playerbase is Men. And you make the story about some weird, and extremely lame romantic issues as if it's written by a woman """speaking her truth""" and to make matters worse, you're some fag who gets ass fucked? What fucking man is gonna want to play something like that?Overall, the game just looks and sounds fucking gay. So fucking gay. The only thing this game did do is enforce a stereotype that Sony games will continue being lame fag games for the forseeable future. Sony = gay, according to my friends, so any Sony game will be infinitely harder to sell to them.
>>738371965Whatever. The combat is fun as fuck. That's all I care about, gameplay, because it's a VIDEO GAME, and that's the most important aspect of any VIDEO GAME.
>>738372065There's a million different TPS or any other kind of shooters out there for us to play. No need to waste money on a game where you play as a homosexual Jeet that gets cucked by girlboss. And it would seem that most people agree with me given it's flopping.
>>738371965>Sony = gay, according to my friendsAnd they're right.
>>738372065VIDEO GAMES need a story. Otherwise you might as well just play Pong
>>738372162Hard disagree. I'm completely fine with a game having no story if the game is fun.HOWEVER.......... If the game does have a story and I'm forced to partake in it, I don't want it to be about my character getting ass fucked and then cucked.
>>738372118>There's a million different TPS or any other kind of shooters out there for us to play.With bullet hell, AND absorbing said bullet hell to weaponize and send back at enemies?>>738372162>VIDEO GAMES need a story.They really don't.
>/v/ plays Silent Hill 2 for the first time in 2026>WTF IS THIS KEK SHIT I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA GET SOME PUSSY!
>>738372420That shit ain't SH2Literal keypoints in the story are changed
>>738355194>Surely if he's the bad person they make him out to be (he killed his friend who found out he cheated ffs) wouldn't he just blow her brains out?That would be pretty awesome.
>>738355342>Ok it's not woke because you see, yes she's a lesbian but it's actually been 1000000 years already so it's ok>Ok it's not pedo because you see, she's actually 1000000 years even though she looks like a child so it's ok
>>738360664>had legsI wouldn't call Returnals estimated 1-2 million in 5 years having legs, especially considering that's including PC sales. That's less than games like Bloodborne, Stellar Blade, Astrobot and Demon's Souls Remake.Saros is set up to fail and I see Housemarque getting the axe in future just like Bluepoint.
i wanted to buy it on pcreturnal was fantastic
>Indian>Sony exclusive>Lesbian shit>Cuck shit>Indian shit>IndianKek it's the recipiss for shit
>>738340158>What went wrong with Saros?A game no one asked for with an ending no one enjoys.
>>738357189Imagine the smell.
>>738354930it's just mental masturbation for the feminists who made it. that's the target audience - themselves.which is obviously a horrible idea for a business, kek
I don't know anything about this game other than;>SonyWhich means it'll probably have some kind of modern political messaging or be very gay in some way. A lot of modern Sony games have featured mixed race Lesbians.>Indian ProtagonistThis one is pretty much self explanatory.So no thank you. If there is a Sony paid shill in here, you guys need to work on your image.
>>738340158It came out?
>>738356690>People want the boringest story possibleMaybe if you're a smooth brain
I would have got it but the ps5 pro has made me completely demotivated to play on Playstation. It's such a fucking expensive upgrade to play the same shit at an unimpressive performance gain and if I refuse I still have the privilege of paying the same inflated price for too few exclusives with worse performance.
>>738371965>>738372869>normalfags now see Sony as the LGBT consoleHahahahahaIt's fucking over for Sony
>>738342097>the twist is that you were actually a chud husbandYou are a gay husband. Jeet and gay
>>738350214no. they've all been in the pipeline for a while, I think we still have at least 1-2 years of such garbage being released ahead of us.I honestly don't know how anyone thought that the ending of a game, which is the reward the player receives for beating it, should be>you suck, go and die, you worthless moid
>>738340158SAAROS PLEASE REDEEM
>>738357189The turds that couldn't fit in the streets
>>738372362>With bullet hell, AND absorbing said bullet hell to weaponize and send back at enemies?Go play Mars Matrix.
>>738373275Also Giga Wing
>>738372362>They really don't.They really do. Except retards like you keep saying they don't so Sony put in charge some of the gayest script writers and women to write absolute slop because they think it doesn't matter and gameplay will shine through. But no one wants to play some indian getting cucked by his lesbian wife.No one wants that.When will you stupid fucking retards get it?Actually don't so you faggots keep producing trash and killing off your own companies and get fired over and over again. I think that's actually better. Better get your office shit in a box ranjeet you probably won't be there by the end of the month.
>/v/ when a game has a story that isn't some gruff heterosexual white guy saving the world
>>738373450I just don't want to play as a Homosexual Jeet that gets his ass hole gaped open and then his wife finds out and cucks him.Is that really so much to ask for?
>>738341827>Nintendo fans still buy Bingtendo games.Kirby air riders says otherwise>its kirbyIt was also marketed as a Sakurai game
>>738373423tl;drWhatever nigga, I like the gunplay. It feels good to play, regardless of Saarjeet Betterman's story.
>>738373450BE BETTER MEN /V/
So let me get this straight, is the story really;>You are Mr. Jeet, you get ass fucked by your friend, your wife finds out and you kill him to silence him but it's too late. Then your wife leaves and cucks you. You then spend Ten Thousand Years searching for her only to realize this fact and she's now some girl boss god married to a sheboon.Is this correct?Because I don't think I can sell this game to anyone I know if that's true.
>>738344892>It's called performative white guilt.It's called subhuman white cucks (default state)
>SaarOSgood morning dearsirs.... our operation system flopped...... What we doing now???
>>738340158I didn't really expect it to do big sales, more along the line of Returnal. It's still really fun and I hope they reconsider putting it on PC.
Good morning
>>738343221What a lovely day in Montreal.
>>738373450gruff heterosexual indian guy getting cucked is worse I want femme homosexual asian girl saving her wife actually
>>738355342>Kenneth Shepard>"That's right, chuds! You're all chuds except for me, I'm a good male ally!"
saars you must redeem the needful
>>738350320Yes, but most Indians are poo flinging hobos.Smart Indians exist but they are too low in numbers. And unfortunately the smart ones have lower birthrate.
>>738341827Nintendo has sort of successfully cultivated pretty specific audience of normalfag casuals and/or disney adult tier millennials. Also switch is technically handheld so that's an advantage.
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDFUL
>>738340158Sony's exclusives are always gay faggot ass shit. Literally every single high profile exclusive they develop has to have forced faggotry in it and people are tired of this crap. Meanwhile Capcom makes a new IP in Pragmata and are raking in the cash because they aren't insulting their customers the way Sony does.
>>738373450this but unironicallylast thing I will play (and pay money for) is some bullshit jeet drama about their toxic relationship
In my language "saros" means "covered in shit".
>>738372362>They really don't.Plot twist. They do.
I can't remember the last time I shat outdoors.t. Russian (White)
it already came out? lol
But week for Indians. The Hantavirus and now this.
>>738369371>overton window is moving leftWouldn't be the case if Trump wasn't being a retard. The last thing normies want to hear is "muh woke" while the world is going to shit.
>>738340158Nobody wants to play as Indian, best way to kill your game
>>738371159That's a great counterpoint and it definitely can work the way you say, especially for disciplined minds. I think more often for regular people, the act of announcing intention just becomes an inhibitory act in the manner described earlier. If you want to verify this there is a paper on it: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/24354628_When_Intentions_Go_PublicAnecdotally, I've experienced it.
>Returnal reskin>no co-op>console (((exclusive)))>title is a homophone of a notorious kike>fails#ManySuchCases
>>738377457> Indians> HantavirusHuh? Did someone miss the loo on that ship?
Are there any studies that would suggest that having a poopskin MC on the vidya cover is not a deliberate sabotage?
>>738377703There's an interesting story from the production of Fable 3>Director went to Microsoft>Demanded that they put a black woman on the cover>Microsoft said "wtf are you talking about">"It will be more diverse and it will signal to the player that you can play as whoever you want! What says player choice more than a black woman?">Microsoft said "stop being retarded, we're putting a white guy on the cover">He complained about it years later as an injusticeWhat's funny is that the same thing kind of happened with the upcoming Clockwork Revolution. You watch Trailer 1 and it's a black woman front and center. Everyone assumed you had to play as her and no one cared about the game anymore. In the next gameplay showcase, they spend 5 minutes showing off the character creator and emphasizing that you can play as a white guy. Now the white guy is front and center of the trailer.
>>738377498it's going to shit because of jews, that made up woke, if normies dont want to hear that... well...
>>738341265rupert will fix it that fine chap
>>738340158>play as a brown>play as a brown that gets cucked>play as a brown that gets cucked by a black>play as a brown that gets cucked by a black womankek
This thread really proves how infantile gamers really are! You would never see a reader or cine file start demanding certain types of stories don't get made just because they didn't personally enjoy them but with gamers they do it constantly
How did someone (or more likely multiple people) write a trashfires like that and assume it will not harm their sales, no matter what else is included?Is the "muh grind" thing really so bad for zoomies that they sit down and make extra sure nobody wants to ever hire them for something like that again?
>>738378531you can make them if you want lolI will laugh at them, voice my distaste as a consumer base and I won't buy themproblem with freeze peach?
>>738378620how has Sony not cleared out every executive that greenlit the endless slop last 5 years
>>738340158>>738340193whoever introduced me to this image lmao, someone check in on the poor guy.
>>738378676As outside observer it feels like stepping back from sony america is doing just that in some legally defendable way. Wait and hope I guess
>>738355595You know nothing of conquering, you brown fuck. Everyone is under WHITE SUPREMACY throughout TIME.WE RULEKILL YOURSELF
>>738340158What is Saros?No, honestly, what is that? This is the first time I heard about it
Why do sony's game stories always revolve around cuckoldry?
>>738378729AHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>738378729> (and sisters, if you are reading)

>>738350523>>738352059And the other half of the half is magical receipts found in basements all over obscure villages in Africa, the real amount of PS5 units sold sits at around 20-30 million units, with 35 million being a theoretical maximum
>>738340158snoy would never admit it, but this again is one of those rare exclusive 1st party games that would actually sell OK on PC.
>>738372890Witcher 3 is a "save the girl" game and was lauded for its narrative. Shit, E33 is also a "save the girl" game, the entire game is about saving Maelle. You play as a man surrounded by a bunch of fucking broken women you can romance lmao.
>>738381624>bunch of fucking broken women you can romanceonly one roastie actually
>>738381835Lune is broken too because of her parents, technically it counts as daddy issues.
>>738381942romance doesn't happen, overselling nepo shill
>>738381987She is a romance option in the game. We're getting too far off the topic of "games praised for their narrative are often about a man saving a girl".That's all TLoU was too.
>>738382074>She is a romance option in the gameit's a bait where nothing happens on the level of JRPG shit
