It doesn’t make sense, it had the universal acclaim, it’s a sequel to a beloved game and more importantly it’s a game aiming for the biggest demographic in PS5, it should’ve been a massive success
>>738833260They're busy playing better games like Pragmata, Crimson desert and Starfield which came out last month.
playstation owners cant figure out how to play a game unless it's got quick time events or is mostly just a series of cutscenes tethered together by sections of walking
>>738833260>it had the universal acclaimlolremember to do the needful
They failed to read the room
>>738833260>it’s a game aiming for the biggest demographic in PS5The biggest demographic on the PS5 are normalfag ball & gun gamers followed by children and then gacha whales.
Sell us on it right now.
Actual Indian Brahmin here (I'm serious, grandfather is literal Brahmin caste), I'm playing Pragmata.
>>738833260The AAA industry is fake. Its all paid astroturfing. Nobody wants these "interactive experiences".
>>738833260Literally what were they thinking naming it Saros
>>738833260Did you buyded it?
>>738833643I boughted the cunny game
>>738833260If every Indian buys the game it wouldn't have flopped.
>>738833260Real answer? No one's got any fucking money or time. This shit is $119.95 in Australia. Our economy is so borked, that's the same as two bags of groceries. That's the same as a tank of petrol (3/4 a tank of diesel). That's the same as your monthly private health insurance (half if you have a family). Everyone here is either working their arses off to get then get taxed to destitution, or they're on the dole and can't afford vidya anyway.
The only reason Returnal sold most of its copies was for people to justify the purchase of their newly purchased PS5
>do you want to play as the cool dude in power armor that gets a cute daughteru>or an indian man that fucks a guy's ass and then got cucked by a african american lesbian
76 million euro budget was way too high for this type of game. It should have been 5-10 million. Also, pajeet as a main character?
>>738833260It got instantly dismissed as soon as the jeet was shown. No nobody cares that he's an "American" jeet either. Jeet is instant turnoff for most people
Indian, homo-shit, cuckolding...Wait, the Sony fanbase hated it???
>>738833260bad economy and it spent too much time in development to offset the cost
>>738833260They should pay me to play as a SAAAR
Is Kitboga the final boss?
>>738834913No, it's Latisha De'shaunda Jackson the Wife Redeemer
>>738833260Saros reminds me of an insecure person looking for a partner who tries to change themselves to appeal to that partner and in so doing marred the one thing that made it special.What can we learn from this?Sci-fi has a considerable interest drop vs. FantasyAction and gunplay is alright when it is competitive PVP, but not when it's against the CPU.There is some interesting cross-section of consumer that is turned off by the roguelike elements in this game, where in many other areas roguelike elements are beloved. Saros roguelike elements are turned down and less interesting this time around than in Returnal, unfortunately, hence my original argument of compromising for no good outcome.My personal feelings:I hate skill trees - The armor skill tree thing in this game sucks. I would have much preferred a roguelike system of permanent growth. This was a blunder.The modifier system is a dud. I never used it, nor did I want to.Edit: The Shield mechanic is interesting, but 99% of the time I am gonna dodge or try to. If that fails because I should have shielded I get a bit annoyed, but then only shield when I learn it is unavoidable. If they want you to shield in the game, there should be more moments where the blue attacks are simply overwhelming, but I find shielding completely breaks the flow of my ballet because it shares a button with the parry and there is a time delay between them. I find parry far more interesting than the shield and is probably the best addition to the flow of the ballet.Gameplay feels like Returnal. That's the good news.Text drops are 100% worse than Audio logs. Just do audio logs. I want to listen while I fight shit, not stop and read.All the crew you meet should have just been recordings and you are a sole survivor. Keep the non-human characters like Primary.I am baffled that this took 5 years to make when it's essentially a reskin of Returnal. Should have taken 3 years max and been Returnal 2.
>>738833260>sequelWait, to fucking what?
>>738833260armor but no helmet doesn't make sense
>>738833260Paid reviews + faked outrage campaign
>>738834913No it's Loomia, the elder witch.
>>738835391But then how would we know the main character is a jeet? Then people wouldn't be able to praise the developers for being super progressive and then all of their hardwork would go to waste.
>>738833260Meanwhile mid games like crimson desert gets average appraisal from critics and players alike, but it sells a lot. Life isn't fair...
Kek, and snoy think people will buy their console for their exclusive games
>>738833260>importantly it’s a game aiming for the biggest demographicPS5 gamers are BETTER MEN, Mr Saros wasn't a better man.
>>738833260People are experiencing jeetfatigue after electing mamdani and getting completely fucked (raising taxes on the middle class, broken promises, rich getting richer, etc)
>>738837964>rich getting richerNothing wrong with this. Just work harder instead of being a lazy parasite.
>>738837964retards will never learnthey think the answer to corrupt government co-opted to businesses interests that have outgrown them is an even bigger government that can serve them even better
>>738833260the protagonist is a smelly jeet
>>738833260>$70>not on pc>25 hour platinum>roguelite>brown protagonist>cucked by a lesbian narrative>made by leftoid whitesNot a single redeeming quality.
>>738833260>Why did Saros flop?Have you even seen the top-selling PS5 games since it came out? The only so-called "system sellers" are GT7 and Spider-Man. Not even the most die-hard Playstation fans buy something like Saros, they didn't buy Returnal either.
>>738837964>raising taxes on the middle classHuh? I thought he was all about tax the rich and shit. Did that not work out or something?My entire knowledge of burger politics comes from this site, so thats just what I heard.
>>738833260you may not like the answer but gamers are racist. they will never buy jeetslop, niggerslop or lesbo troonslop.
>>738838531>25 hour platinum>rogueliteIm starting to notice how roguelites, that should grant you hundred of hours like Isaac, are becoming much shorter
>>738833260>every character is ugly>dykes>all in le head once againThey just want their games to fail.
>>738833260>Returnal >Beloved
>>738842000yes.
>>738838654Rich don't pay taxes. Never will. Also there's genuinely just not enough of them for it be worth trying to do it beyond ideological reasons. Tax the rich always ends up being slightly above average middle class paying for niggers.
>>738833260Saaaaar, why didn't you redeem bloody bastard
>>738833351Nice cope, Ranjeet
>>738842265That must be why it has a sequ--ACK
>Why did Saros flop?The homophone cut too close to the frenulum.
>>738833260>whyBROWNROWN
>>738833260>it had the universal acclaimi don't think you know what these words mean
>>738833260name sounds like soros
>>738833260I wonder why Indians dislike it. Is the main character not cool enough for their standards?
>>738833260all housemarque games look kinda unappealing visually and from a gameplay perspective to methere's a kind of messy arcadey-ness to them that looks like it may have the potential to be fun, but conversely doesn't look too light hearted that you can pick up and play it - like it might take itself a bit too seriouslythey might be decent games but you'd have to pay me just to boot them up
They made the game easier when the original games appeal was its difficulty. Adding NPC personalities shone a light on things better left in the dark.A faceless protagonist on dark unexplained planets with an emphasis on enemy variance and combat would have saved them money and sold more titles long term. Instead they served marvel jeet made easy. They deserve to sell less copies.
>>738843263>I wonder why Indians dislike it.They don't. It's either they are unaware or can't afford it. Remember that most Indians are in poverty.
Crazy how irrelevant vidya journos are nowawdays.
>>738833260I wanted an immersive sci-fi horror inspired by Chambers' stuffRainbow toohoo danmaku bullets remove the immersion The King in Yellow stuff was used as window dressing for some shitty melodrama crap about the guy's ex-wife which while admittedly not as bad as Returnal's "it's a metaphor for loss!!!!!" crap is still lame as fuckis it too much to just ask for mysterious alien bullshitno metaphorsno ex-wife crapjust creepy alien bullshit you cunts
The story is a cuck fantasy, meanwhile the gameplay is the exact same as the other roguelike they shat out, I'm not kidding. Go look up the gameplay. Its identicalThey released the same game twice, first with a suicidal self hating woman and then a jeet cuck
>>738843643>Remember that most Indians are in poverty.And yet they're the only ones buying the $2000 AI GPUs, interesting
>>738838531>Not on pcGet used to it.
>>738834913Unironically, no. The MC is. Same thing happened with Returnal. Both games are about accepting what happened and trying to move past it.
>>738833260good morning saar let your wife kiss another woman saar we men are not worthy
>>738833260>Why did Saros flop?
why release console only? i dont know anyone that doesnt game on pc.
>>738833260>/v/ gaslit itself into thinking the game is Indian because the title sounds like saar, >/v/ is now criticizing the game for the Indian themes they made up as a jokeWhat is this type of culture called?
>>738845572algorithm culture. People scroll social media, then they post their discoveries here. This place stopped being the source of memes a long time ago.
>>738843643The highest earning american household by the way. Meanwhile your American abomincion kind can't get even on the chart.
cuck storypajeet mcbad titletoo little focus on the gameplay in the marketing and more on 'vibes'absolutely overpriced
SAARGAME WAS SUCCESS SAARBITCH BLOODY BASTERD BUY GAME
>>738845572/v/ is one person and its me
>>738845572But he is indian. /v/ didnt make this game, the jeets did. They chose the name and this guy as the MC
>>738833260I would have bought it if instead of a disgusting browner man, it was a gorgeous chocolate skin goddess wearing a futuristic skin tight outfit and with a nice, bubble shape ass
>>738846578Are you the infamous hacker?
>>738833260I know at least one person who didn’t buy it out of protest for sonys liveservice bed shittingI didnt buy it bc I saw what the story was
I bought it. It's a fun game. Needs the daily challenge mode or something extra. It's a bit short for $70. Also add gyro. More ps5 owners should buy it.
>>738833321>better games>StarfieldYou were doing all right with your bait until this part.
The only gaslighting going on here is that Sony is trying to convince people they released a different game.Saaros is just a expansion pack for Returnal. Its the exact same game
because it's $70 not $25
>>738833260>Spiritual sequel to a game that also floppeded and done did shitted itself>Visuals almost exclusively consist of shades of black, brown and dark red, misery incarnate>Worst of all, Indian-codedWe'll never know
>>738833260I has no audience. It's not "cinematic" enough for casuals and the gameplay is too hardcore for normies that buy AAA slop usually. But at the same time the audience for demanding gameplay is chuds and they are turned off by the jeet MC and cuckoldry. It's also a PS5 exclusive, a new IP from a studio nobody cares about sold at full price. Interestingly enough if believe it could've had done well if the player character was a cute or sexy girl and the roguelite rewards were cute or sexy outfits and events.
do not redeem
>>738833260>It doesn’t make sense, it had the universal acclaim>the universal acclaimAHAHAHAHAHA *wheeze* HAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA
>>738833260I will never play an Indian protagonist, there is nothing redeeming about this race
>>738835391I assume you raised the same complaints about mass effect?
>>738848471Helmet is forcibly toggles on on planets without atmosphere and without air. You can also toggle it on even in cutscenesYou are inventing a issue mass effect doesnt have
>>738848304this is why no one cares what reviewers think
>>738844092>Both games are about accepting what happened and trying to move past it.BULLSHITreturnal is about something something time travel, plotholes, its a all a dream, or not, le in your headthe plot makes 0 fucking sense, it has too many mistakes and plotholes, timeline issues to be about anything, character ages, chronology are pure nonsenseits ether: 1 an incoherent nightmare in her head, every cinematic is pure abstraction2 a badly told time travel / alien story3 a badly told alegory for grief, with a lot of pointless filler about her familyAnd no matter which you believe, her family shit is pure fucking filler that makes already a bad story about losing her son even that much worse.
>>738843826This.
Charging the equivalent of almost $96 here in Scandinavia for a roguelike is certainly a choice. No shit its flopping.
>>738842541The rich pay the largest portion of taxes, retard. You can look at the IRS data yourself. That's why they dipped the fuck out when dumdani tried squeezing them harder.
>>738833260>$70 for a roguelite when the most popular games in the genre are $20-$30>Not on Steam
>>738850005>>738838531So PC gamers love to consume garbage?It's a good thing it never got a PC port then; a dogshit game would have been successful without deserving it
>>738850632Fact check: FALSE
Because no one wants to to play as a STINKY STREET SHITTING PAJEET
if they want men to play their games, they should make games that actually appeal to men
Saaros..
>>738833260I don't know why others didn't buy it, but I didn't buy it because;>not interested in roguelites, the best roguelites are on PC>the best roguelites are also a fraction of the cost and give you hundreds of hours compared to only like 10 to 20 hours like Saaros>I didn't want to be a Jeet>the game cover looks ugly and didn't draw me in so I ignored it for a long time>when I finally did try and look into it, I found out the story is about being a homosexual indian that gets cucked by his wife, which sounded so incredibly lame>again, I don't want to be a jeet
>>738850684Then the game not being ported to PC was the right decision.
>>738833260why do they advertise these games with gaming news and magazines reviews? no one cares about that them. they would better off putting streamers and influencers in them.
>>738846656>the jeets did.it's made by finns. not jeets
>>738833260Do you have any numbers to back your claim up
>>738848304>mixtape in theresus
>>738833260i am an indian and i bought plapmata over this dogshit
>>738833260This game and Returnal look like those fake games that are played by kids and teenagers in the background of tv shows
>>738842265returnal was trash. entire weapon design and feel sucked balls. and dodging and movement wasnt good, probably unreal engine thing. ammo systems with doom like weapon swap tech maybe 4 max weapons would've made the game actually decent. like only good thing about it was aesthetics of aliens
ps5 first party games have never sold well, sometime between the transition of ps4-ps5 playstation users just en masse decided to stop buying first party games and instead go for third party games.Helldivers being the sole exception, that sold really well.
why didnt a hundred million poo jeets buy it?
>>738845572>SAAAARS SAROS NOT INDIAN AT ALL BLOODY BENCHOD BASTARD
>>738846853You should go take a selfie on the tracks
I like how chaotic the combat gets. I hate the weapon drop system though, also I was there were more kinds of guns.
i honestly don't want to play a game as an indian guy, they're gross
Militant finish wokies want you to play as an old lady and a pajeet. those people hate you. as a sony fan im not supporting that shit. if you want me to play your game i want aspiring protagonists. not social experiments. (yes raiden is awesome stfu)
>>738838654When the left talk about "taxing the rich" they consider any person that isn't a public money leech as rich.You add that to the fact that real rich people have mechanisms to pay less taxes and the result is that the middle class pay for everything.
>>738851426>ps5 first party games have never sold well,>Helldivers being the sole exception,
>>738852542>posts a PS4 game
>>738833260I literally found out that it was released like 2-3 days ago lmao
Do you even enjoy vidya anymore?
>>738833260They were busy playing Mixtape... it's the first indie game with the gameplay of a playstation exclusive where you don't really play but enjoy the cinematic experience
>>738833459>ball & gunb-but it's mostly guns and dodging orbs/balls
>>738854959Absolutely. I just happen to like games /v/ loathes
>>738835171Refundal
>>738851336The gameplay was one of the better thigns in Returnal, polished and responsive.Everything else was uninteresting and mediocre.
>>738833260>sequel to a beloved gameI can't even begin to guess how bad the marketing campaign was, because I had no idea it was a sequel to anything, or that it even existed until maybe a month and a half ago. Zero IRL/normie saturation, and online /v/ saar-memes are the entire reason I've heard of it.
>>738833260>Why did Saros flop?just look at cover art and name
>>738833260>it’s a game aiming for the biggest demographic in PS5
>>738833260Not knowing anything about this game, im guessing it’s a third person immersion shooter with rogue lite elements and a focus on story and cutscenes, and that the game has about 20-30 hours of story with a game plus mode.
Universal acclaim from big names such as...uhh "gamespot" and "gameinformer"
