wasn't it supposed to flop?
The game cost more than every Hitman combined (so at least 180mil), if you double the 1.5m sales at full price I don't think that's still enough to break even
no. what made you think so?
>>739809876It did.
>>73980987610 mil or it's a flop
>>739809936How would you know? I doubt you're accountant at that company
>>739809936Games don't need to break even in the launch week, retard.
>>739809876The chud council has deemed this not woke though
>>739809941You said it would flop because it's woke or something.>>739809998That's just the usual backpedalling every time it's wrong.
>>739809982https://frvr.com/blog/007-first-light-most-expensive-project-ever/I imagine the CEO knows>>739809986You won't be getting full price sales after the launch week, I don't know why you have to be so emotional about pure facts
Trannies lost again. Simple as.
Just the usual, a overhyped bad game that flops and is claimed to never have flopped.
Marathon and Pragmata both sold 2mil and are consider flops, so...yeah?
>>739810032You didn't even bother to read what you linked. No numbers there. Just writer making a guess based on another numbers that aren't official.
>>739810032I'm only emotional because you post stupid.

>>739810243Stop being retarded and read what you link. What a buffoon. You probably work for that blog anyway. LET'S SAY. MAYBE.
>it's just Uncharted disguised as James Bondmid
>>739810325I just linked you an article in which the CEO breaks down the dev costs for Hitman, 2016 being 100mil, 2 being 60mil and 3 being 20mil, 180m total. What's the problem? Take your own advice and read the articles
>/v/ being contrarian againso fucking tiresome
>6% of Palworld's sales Powerful.
>>739810374it's beyond boring at this point
this is the first im hearing of it so....
>>739810340James Bond games on PS2 you mean. I hate when faggots always say that game is like X when there are multiple titles that did this type of gameplay before.
game is kino/v/ can seethe
>>739809876You can never say something is a flop if you don't have at least an estimate of the production cost
The game is chud-coded thougheverbeit.
>>739810493lol I don't think First Light is like Nightfire or Agent Underfire at all.
>>739810583>moneypenny pits
>>739810583Cressida...
>>739810583i want a Cressida game, fuck Bond
>>739810493it has a lot of similarities with Mission impossible ps1/n64 as well
>>739810672Yes, I too want Cressida to fuck Bond.
>>739809936>so at least 180milI HIGHLY doubt that, those are first-party AAA numbers.At most this cost them 90~100 million.
>>739810648From Russia with Love? Everything or Nothing?>>739810717This type of action tps with stealth elements been done a lot before Uncharted, even Syphon Filter which is Sony IP did this lol.
>>739810771The IO CEO came out and said it cost OVER 200milly.
>>739809876Another shill thread. It did flop and all you can do is try to obfuscate that fact.
One day you guys will learn that marketers have started employing "IT'S WOKE IT'S WOKE IT'S DEI" as a viral marketing tactic.
>>739810883after posting paid content.jpg post 5 more shill accusations within the hour. call them jeets or trannies to really rile them up. then pause until next thread.
>>739810883yes anything remotely positive is a shill threadyou faggots have made this board unusable
>>739809876chuds have been lying?? SHOCKING
.
I know Pragmata broke you people into thinking 2m is some grand achievement for a AAA game but it isn't and neither is 1.5m.These numbers would have been considered kinda low on the PS1 decades ago when gaming was a hobby for fat nerds in their basement.
>>739811042Cressida my beloved
>>739810883>>739811042lmao chuds in full damage control get fucked retards
>>739811051>I know Pragmata broke you people into thinking 2m is some grand achievement for a AAA gameuh huh, that's why capcom considers it an achievement
>>739809876This is the last you will hear of it
>>739811141Because Capcom is a public corporation that lives and dies on share prices thus are legally obligated to hype up literally anything it possibly can get away with.
>>739810832>From Russia with Love? Everything or Nothing?Those suck
>>739811042You're absolutely pathetic
>>739810883>ANOTHER CHUD GAME FLOPPEDchudbros...
>>739809876Budget? That's also a very strange milestone to announce.
Grummz said it’s good so I don’t hate it anymoreCongratz on the sales!
>>739811437>strange milestone to announceas opposed to what?
>>739811437>no, you can't announce your first day salesIt's better than the generic 1 million sales and it's not players.
>>739811456this is the guy you are dying on?
>>739809876aren't james bond and hitman both very popular IP? why would it flop?
>>739811515Yes he knows which games are woke and he said first light isn’t woke anymore
>>739811537This board convinces itself things will flop so even if it sold 20 million copies they'd still argue it's a flop.
>>739811515wasn't he supposed to be chinese
>>739811576He became a honorary white for fighting wokeness, just like Asmon
>>739809936this. any and all theoretical revenue this game will generate will stop after the first 24 hours launch.
Caught in 4k
How much does a spam/flood license cost?
>>739811725>based anon calling the retards out
>>739809876Remove the 30% yacht tax + other taxes and I doubt its even close to break even.
>>739811835It's 30% yacht tax + 30% government tax + another 30% US government tax if your country doesn't have tax treaties with the US (idk if the devs live in a country with such treaty). And I'm not even counting the bank fees. IDK how this shit keeps working, the economy is fake.

>>739810771Hitman 2016 alone cost 100m. Their CEO said the game cost more than every Hitman combined
>>739812276Dane here to put the argument to rest. IOI's budget for 007 was 1,3 milliarder kroner, which is 1.3 billion DKK, which is the equivalent of $202 million.

>>739810863>>739810771Yall are forgetting the cost of the James Bond license which no doubt cost ballpark 8 digits, or Amazon is taking a fat chunk of the ptofits, easily 20-30%. Someone must be partially footing the bill for IO because the whole thing screams bad fucking idea, while the gameplay just the same is the kind of bland mainstream slop you'd expect in such a situation.
>>739812602looks like they didn't love them enoughwhy even make moviegames in current year+11 when everyone and their mother is just gonna watch a stream of it

>>739813003Read the thread Tyrone, it's well-established that the budget was around 200 million USD
How much of the sales required to break even are socmedia post touting this time? 10% or 0.1%?
>>739812852doesnt take a genius to see that it didnt even break 100k on steam
>>739813035nah those numbers are extrapolated from the info we had about the hitman seriesyou have no actual figures, and you're still forgetting ALL the other parametersbecause your retarded brain never went to school and certainly doesn't know how to operate a multimillion dollar company if you think the only numbers that matter are budget and sales

>>739812852It needs 5 mil to make profits so with 1.5m in 24 hours, it'll easily get there.>>739813120Moviegames sell best on the Moviegamestation 5, anon. Snoys are starving for some cinematic experiences due to Jim Ryans live service push.
>>739809876had the same sales and steam users as pragmata and cost probably 10x as much when you take in marketing and licensing cost, so pretty big flop
How did the right lose the culture so badly?
I'm having uncharted itch. How much shooting is there? I assume not much climbing and jumping?
>>739813305>Moviegames sell best on the Moviegamestation 5, anon.im sure it does. im not disputing that but thats still not a great number for PC. maybe it goes up more on the weekend but 68k day 1 is quite surprising

>>739813495yes, by virtue of exercising their right to vote. what do the 20 year olds do, cry in their streamers twitch chat?
>>739810583Good morning, Amazon India
>>739813498are you being a retard on purpose or did you just miss op >>739809876also recent rockstar leak showed console games and pc games are completely different markets with different expectations, those type of movie games are not that popular on steam (all things considered, ofc a james bond game would still be popular)
>>739810583You can post this image as many times as you want, but these chicks are still ugly as fuck. Not falling for it.
Shills are NOT happy about this being fpbp in the other thread

I seriously don't understand the hype around this game
>>739809876I won't buy it because the Bond in the profile pic doesn't look British enoughAnd because I wasn't going to anyways and just needed a reason to give
>>739813630Sure, how many copies do you need to sell to cover the 200 million budget, at full price mind you
>>739813639It’s 100% Amazon shills. The game is a generic, unremarkable moviegame.
>>739812756>who is falling for this garbageme
>it's a flop bro>trust me>bro only 100k players>why don't you believe me bro
>>739813630Veilguard sold exactly that amount on launch day and indeed flopped hard, and it didn’t have half the marketing budget this shit did.
>>739809876lol a slavjank early access game made for peanuts sold 1 million in one week, how fucking bad is that for an AAA game
>>739813552Congrats on capturing the Israel-loyal demographic then, I'm sure your peers love that ;)
>>739813695she's legit cute imo
>>739813639It's the first moviegame action adventure TPS of this generation. Of course people, especially on the PS5, will be excited after an almost infinite amount of sloppy UE5 Soulscopies.

why are chuds coping so hard over this game being a success? why did you want this game to fail so bad?
>>739813682That Micheal dude exposed the games lack of interactivity with segments where you can get away with holding one button, and NPCs that don't react at all when charged at with a car, and they all dogpiled him for it. I also saw the usual AAA stereotypes like the strong woman escaping being held hostage and then freeing James. I haven't seen a game so obviously shilled since Mixtape
>>739813904
>>739813774Quite high, if the shills in this thread are any indication. Although they could be paying you in jeetdollars, so perhaps less than expected.
chuds did nothing and lost lol
>They are literally having a meltdown over this gameAnd I thought /v/ was bad. These guys are seething.
Controversy about this game is so dumb. It's literally a Bond movie in a playable form, nothing wokie about it. People just see black/poojet in game and shit their pants. Also, Moneypenny a cute.

https://gameworldobserver.com/2025/02/19/palworld-32-million-players-first-year-indie-gamesPalworld hits 32 million players across PC and consoles, cementing its place among best-selling indie gamesTags:Palworld,PocketpairPalworld has reached a new impressive milestone a year after its Early Access launch. Pocketpair’s survival title cements its place among the most successful indie games of all time.Pocketpair took to social media to reveal that Palworld has surpassed 32 million players globally since its launch on January 19, 2024.The last time the studio shared any data was on February 22, 2024, when the number of players exceeded 25 million, including 15 million copies sold on Steam and 10 million Xbox users. This means it took Palworld about a year to attract another 7 million gamers.Palworld has since also made its way to PlayStation, but it is unclear how the audience is split between platforms (we’d assume that Steam still accounts for the majority of the total). Keep in mind that the game is available to Game Pass subscribers, so the exact number of units sold remains undisclosed.
>>739809876It´s an Uncharted with a James Bond IP by the people that make Hitman and want players to have fun rather by Drunkman, how could it flop? Get your head out of your ass OP.
>>739814465200mil budget, 1.5m copies sold, at 70$ launch price - 30% platform fee that's what, 73.5m in revenue?This is just sad coping anon
>chuds are unironically killing themselves on social media because this game didn't flop like they thought it would
Why does /v/ want this game in particular to fail so badly?
>>739814657Because it looks like a lot of woke shit? You’re not getting the response you want no matter how many times you repeat this question.
>>739814657>this game in particularWhere have you been for the last 5 years when /v/ has wanted nearly every game to fail?
>>739814485yeah now point to me the relevant data in that pdf you shared, where are the figures for the 007 game>>739814579yeah in 24 hours, keep being disengenuous retard
>>739814727Most woke thing about it is brown character and that it but some v/ tards art chimping out and trying really hard >>739814741this
>>739814775>yeah in 24 hoursSure, you think the sales will triple in the next 7 days or something? Keep in mind they have to be sold at full price, otherwise the amount of copies sold needed to break even increases drasticallyThis is just sad coping anon
>>739809876>wasn't it supposed to flop?Not with hot latinas it won't
>>739814727So far, I am 4 hours in, and haven't found anything woke about it. Maybe the problem is you.
>>739813807>must. defend. goyslop.you're an embarrassment
>>739814775>yeah now point to me the relevant data in that pdf you sharedWhat relevant data? You were sperging out and telling me that I had no insight into their internal finances. Then I literally show you their internal finances, and now you are moving the goalposts. Keep in mind, I am literally not the other guy you were arguing with.>where are the figures for the 007 gameThere are no figures for the 007 game, because it released 3 days ago. You'll have to wait for their next financial report, which is in August.
Palworld has since also made its way to PlayStation, but it is unclear how the audience is split between platforms (we’d assume that Steam still accounts for the majority of the total). Keep in mind that the game is available to Game Pass subscribers, so the exact number of units sold remains undisclosed.Below are the key milestones for Palworld:1 million copies sold — in its first 8 hours;2 million copies sold — in 24 hours;5 million copies sold — in its first three days;8 million copies sold on Steam — in its first six days;19 million players (including 12 million copies sold on Steam) — in less than two weeks;25 million players — in its first month.It is difficult to directly compare Palworld’s numbers to other indie games, but it is certainly among the most successful releases of all time. The leaders include hits like Terraria (58.7 million copies sold), Stardew Valley (41 million), Phasmophobia (22 million), and more.Following its Early Access launch, Palworld also peaked at over 2.1 million concurrent players on Steam. This made it the second biggest release of 2024 by that metric, behind only Black Myth: Wukong (2.4 million CCU).Last year, Pocketpair faced a lawsuit from Nintendo and The Pokémon Company, which accused the studio of patent infringement. The team then revamped the summoning mechanic in Palworld, removing the ability to throw Pal Spheres to summon captured creatures.
>>739809876What's this genre going to be called epstein-like?
>>739809876Why does /v/ hate this game again? Isn't this just Hitman 4?
>>739814939Nonsencial culturewars that don't even apply to this game.
>>739809876I can understand Marathon player cope because that is a multiplayer game that lives or dies depending on if people bother playing it. But 007 is a fucking movie game so why even care? Unless you really want a sequel, in which case one it's not happening lol and two you have some really shitty taste in vidja.
>>739814886>grrr im so racist guys just like you, here look at me insulting aryan looking white women, grrr white people are fucking ugly!!!! even niggers are hotter!
>>739814829here I'll use TW3 as an example because they recently annouced they sold over 65mio copieshttps://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-witcher-3s-incredible-sales-streak-still-hasnt-slowed-down/for a game that initially sold 1.7mio copies in the first WEEKhttps://www.vgchartz.com/article/259897/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-sold-17m-units-first-week-worldwide/was that a flop too? you think 007 will stop selling just like that after 24hours?retard
>>739814939>Isn't this just Hitman 4?It's a very dumbed down Hitman that's much more linear and you have way less ways to solve things. It sits more like in between Hitman and Uncharted. It's also 12-14 hours long and has zero replayability.
>>739814868I can find wokeshit in it without even playing the game, so I shan’t be buying. Keep shilling and seething, though, and be sure to reply to this post like a good little cuck.
>>739814829Media products don't have to make profit on day one sometimes they but most times they done Hitman sold a fuck ton in the long run
https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-68055030Palworld: 'Pokémon with guns' sells 5m copies in three days22 January 2024ShareSaveAdd as preferred on GoogleTom Richardson & Peter GillibrandBBC NewsbeatPocketpair A cute, blue, bunny like creature with stern expression and ruby red pupils in its large eyes stands in a field of grass. It's next to some flowers that glow blue, suggesting some sort of magical property. The rabbit creature also wears a dark blue cloak, fastened below the next with a gem with swirling pink and blue glow.PocketpairHave we met before? Palword's creatures have been accused of copying Pokémon's designsThe makers of an online multiplayer game dubbed "Pokémon with guns" say it's sold five million copies in three days.Palworld, from Japanese company Pocketpair, has been an overnight success since it launched on Friday.But its surprising popularity meant players struggled to log on at times due to server crashes.The game's also been criticised as a Pokémon rip-off due to the similarity of its creatures.Palworld is described as a "multiplayer monster-collecting game with open-world survival elements".Players, known as "pal-tamers" travel around a large map battling human foes and creatures known as "pals" which can be captured and recruited.
>>739814939It's Absolution 2, testing whether the people who called that a good game but a bad Hitman game actually had a point.
>>739814657Ideological capture, people so brainrotted they can't see anything without filtering it through their political biases, ergo see non-white woman -> it's woke -> I hate it. Not to say there aren't games pushing woke agendas, this game is just not one of them.
>>739814925Some friendslop also sold 8 million copies how is that relevant?
>>739815017>>739815056Ask an LLM how much does a typical singleplayer AAA game lose in sales after the opening 72 hour windowIt's better you accept the reality that there won't be a sequel now rather than crying about it later
>>739814908yeah so your pdf is irrelevant to the discussion, and you're interjecting to literally say shit about the financial success (or not) of the gamethat's my point, you guys have no idea what you're talking about because nobody knows except from the heads and finance department at IOI

>>739815135Or google if you want to waste your time proving my pointConcession accepted
>>739815132>>739815090>>739814364
>>739815159what point?TW3 sold 65mio in TEN YEARS, despite only selling 1.7mio copies FIRST WEEKso yeah ofc you get that fake "opening 72hour window" from some shitty AI
>>739815096>Ask LLMYou sound more retarded than some of these VCs a lot of games make money in the long run
>>739815208So you are retarded troon?
>>739815090>My master's game was mogged by some UE asset flip pokemon copycat ok
>>739815241TW3 is one game, go ahead and compare it to similar titles such as nuGOW or UnchartedThis is just really sad cope anon
>>739809936>Source I made it up
Why the fuck is someome talking about palworld in the james bond thread
>>739815097>yeah so your pdf is irrelevant to the discussionYou said "you have NO insight into their internal finances", so I just proved you wrong by literally giving you insight into their internal finances.>nobody knowsAt first I just interjected because you guys were fighting about the budget, so I set the record straight, but then you kept sperging out at me.
>>739815291Because he's a lobotomite
>>739815291Some guy is genuinely mindbroken by the fact it may not underperform.MAY.So he has to convince everyone it will.
>>739815276>I require a source.>Baseless. Give me a source>Source?>Where's the source?>NOOOOOOOOOOO NOT THE SOOOOOOURCEshartyjack_pride_noose.webp
>>739815285Sources for the budget being $202 million here >>739812404 and here >>739814087
Game will be forgotten about by next week. Disposable experience
>>739815284lmao yeah I told you I took TW3 because they recently announced a new milestonebe here's nuGoW for you, quick AI search since you consider it a valid source (lmao), and it completely disproves your 72h theory
Same happened with KCD2>Okay, so what if it broke even on day one They still need to make a profit>2 million is nothing, the marketing budget was massive>Okay, it’ll break even at 5 million copies sold, and that’s no big dealAnd now we know it was a massive success because they literally expanded their studio and are working on a Middle earth game and the next KCD game
>>739815345Source on what exactly? look in the mirror i called you a faggot for posting about pal world
>>739815314yeah their internal finances concerning the game that would actually be relevant to the discussion, not some figures for some unrelated shit from 2 years ago retardyou have no idea of salaries, licensing, marketing, all their departments and all that shit, you don't know shit about the game and there's nothing in that shitty pdf that gives enough insight in how well the game is doing
>>739809876considering their budget it'll break even on 4 or 5 milit's to be seen if the game has some legs or peters out
>>739815291You asked for sources and got them. >>739814364And subsequently had such an immediate fecal meltdown you forgot about basic syntax rules.>>739815276 (fixed for you)>So you are A retarded troon?Glad to help.
>>739809876>>739809936doing some quick math here....sounds like a flop bondbros....
I legit can't believe 1.5 million people would buy a video game about a shitty onions zoomer version of Bond.
This meme never fails
>>739815626oh wow that whole mental breakdown was because of me? didn't even realizeI initially asked you about marketing budget for 007 btw, not sure what your whole sperg out has to do with any of it lmao

>>739815698That's right marathonbros.
>>739815698Holy fuck, the left can’t meme.
>>739815729are you seriously retarded ?
>>739815804I'm a libertarian, get fucked cuckservative
>>739815683They'll make a sequel and make him 20 years older.
>>739815683notice how the shills here never post gameplay or examples of good writing because its a shitty movie game with blue tarp instead of yellow paint telling you where to go.
>>739815804Seething lil posts like this make it all worth it
>>739815698marathon daddies we won
>>739815843>>739815867Case in point.
>>739809876We will never know if something truly flops now since we dont know the development AND astroturfing costs
>>739815703Wasn't that anon, you simply are unable to operate an imageboard and included me in the reply, with the effect of asking for sources on Palworld's sales numbers as well.So you get Palworld's sales numbers.
>>739815528>you have no ideaYou have no idea. I have an idea. You can read their latest report and see what they are expecting to earn from all of their games, including the 007 game.>In May 2026 one of our major development projects will be ready to release. We will continue the other development project as well as start incubation on new projects. At the same time, we are encouraged by the ongoing performance of WOA. For the next 12 months we expect revenue to be in the range between DKK 1,2 - 1,6 billion across all titlesSo they are expecting to earn $200-$250 million across all their games from December 2025 to December 2026.Source - https://regnskaber.cvrapi.dk/xhtml/90261242/amNsb3VkczovLzAzLzk4L2ExLzY3L2IyLzE1NWEtNDNjNS05Y2U2LTMzNThkMDE0MzQ5MA.pdf
>>739815973and what makes you say those objectives won't be met? from that how can you extrapolate the game is a failure?
>>739809876Zoomers are completely fucked when garbage like this wont flop
>>739816059>and what makes you say those objectives won't be met?Nothing.>from that how can you extrapolate the game is a failure?I never said anything even remotely close to that. Once again, I am not the other guy you were arguing with.
>>739816101thanks for confirming your interjection was completely irrelevant to the discussion I was having with the other guyyou may fuck off now
>>739816079>fucked when garbage like this wont flopWhy is it garbage it's literally the bond game Where you sneak, brawl, shoot and drive

>>739816079It already did.
>>739816149>thanks for confirming your interjection was completely irrelevant to the discussionHow was it irrelevant? You guys were fighting about the budget. I came in and provided you both with the actual budget numbers.
>>739816179how was I btfo?retards keep arguing the game is a failure, act like we have all the necessary info to know how well the game is doingI ask for sources and retards interject with irrelevant datayou're not the sharpest tool in the shed are you
>>739816152you crouch in some hedges and turn on sprinklers. you press the magic takedown button to one shot people. you do the same rhythm game sequence for melee combat every time. driving is unfailable
>>739816190what palworld has to do with budget of 007?
>>739816235it was not about the budget, it was about the financesyou realize budget number alone doesn't say shit? as I already proved to youkeep acting like a disengenuous faggot, truth is nothing you say is relevant
>>739816284>Erm it's bad because you click buttons and things happen you sound moronic
>>739816340zero rebuttals, thanks for playing.
>>739816327>it was not about the budget, it was about the financesIs that why you guys kept going back and forth about what the budget was?>keep acting like a disengenuous faggot, truth is nothing you say is relevantVery ironic statement from you.
>>739809876>wasn't it supposed to flop?
>>739816285Idk, you asked me about sources for my claims, which were about palworld mogging the fuck out of shartybondyou're probably going to have to ask the other guy for that
>>739809876Veilguard sold 3 million and caused EA to be sold to Saudi Arabia lmao
>>739815698>>739815867>the slop wars continue
>>739816367>you crouch in some hedges and turn on sprinklers.You are a fucking retardhitman is also just that and it's one of the best games ever made>in dishonored you blink and stab them from behind >in sekiro you just parry
>>739815698It literally always fails and retarded brigaders are the only ones who ever post it. Like the thread is literally branded as a shill thread when I see that
>>739814192>>739814485>>739816397this is where you interjected, I was telling the other guy budget number alone is not enough to know how well the game is doing and we don't have the internal figures to fully grasp the financial success (or not) of this game>>739816101like you admited here we have no idea because we have no insight in their finances concerning this gameholy shit can you read or are you just mentally deficient
>>739816482What’s the point of comparing them?In 2025, a bunch of friendslop games sold 8–10 million copiesThat doesn’t mean every other game was a flop or a disaster
>>739813337I remember the leftist media articles flood between 2006 and 2008 about how there'll never be another Republican President ever again.How'd that work out for you?
>>739811456i stopped following this shill when he made 5 tweets about oblivion when it got announced
>>739816556do those games also have the magic blue tarp telling you where to go, or failing the visual cue, an npc in your ear telling you what to do?
>>739816620>That doesn’t mean every other game was a flop or a disasterI know it's a hard pill to swallow but it quite literally does.If a AAA game can't outsell some UE asset flip, well that's embarrassing to say the least.Which goes for the absolute state of the whole industry really regardless of idpol shitflinging.
>>739816614>this is where you interjectedNo. This is where I interjected >>739812404 when you guys were arguing about the budget of the game.
>>739815698The latest tally is 1 in 20 woke games being a "success", the "success" then having a downturn until the parent company is sold to China like happened with Warframe which is now owned by Tencent.So basically, your only existential value is to either close studios or have them sold to China.
>>739816927yeah and that isn't me you were replying to, the only reply from you I got is this >>739814485 so thank you for proving you interjected in a discussion you had no idea about to share data that was completely irrelevant to the discussion I was having with the other retard
>>739816835Actually yeah Both hitman and dishonored have story clues, do your research before speaking
>>739816914>Both things can be true at the same time: Thiel having all the insider info and future plans, while also being paranoid.That's a bullshit hollow knight sold more that most successful AAA games and it was made by 3 guys
>>739816728Well in 2006 Trump was literally saying Republicans are the biggest goytards on earth so that's not the gotcha you thought it was lmfao
>>739809876Im sure your average unemployed autist on 4chan will spend a non negligible portion of their life making up reasons why its a flop no matter what evidence to the contrary.
>>739817110suddenly dropped sekiro from your list. and no, those games did not have the blue paint telling you the correct door to walk through. keep shilling though, you must be hourly
>>739813376People on /v/ are still so mind broken by BG3 they claim its actually a flop and the sales are fake.
>>739817214Leftists live and breathe misinformation
>>739817320>AI fact check >fucking snopesLOOOOOL
>>739817293Yeah because sekiro is an action with stealth sections not a stealth game Oh so now it's not about story clues but blue paint ?can you show me all the blue paint in 007?
>>739817320>he says while sharing AI
>>739817309>>739813376>>739810029>>739809998How is this game or bg3 woke?No anti white or anti male messaging afaik.
>>739817398>>739817430AI is no different from Google, it fetches results and displays them with a source attached like on a wikipedia articlehttps://www.reuters.com/article/world/fact-check-trump-did-not-call-republicans-the-dumbest-group-of-voters-idUSKBN2342DH/https://people.com/debunking-viral-fake-trump-quote-people-magazine-11852804Leftists live and breathe misinformation
>>739817484it's woke because erm.... idk brown people?that's honestly it, also director said bunch of retarded stuff that's not even true
>>739817085You guys continued to argue about the budget here >>739813003 and here >>739813035 and here >>739813162>data that was completely irrelevantYou are hilarious. You guys were literally arguing about the budget, as evidenced above. Let me guess, you're now going to attempt to claim that wasn't you.I guess there's no point in me talking to you anymore, because you're just going to continue to go in circles like a schizo. I accept your concession. Don't bother replying.
>>739810523There is nothing to do in that room. You walk through it once.
>>739817530GOOD MORNING SAARS!
>>739817524What did the director say? Like if the creators say "this game is NOT for white men!!!" Then I could say the game is woke.I just really hate leftist freaks pretending the game is woke randomly to own the chuds.
>>739812438>if you love all the woke shit and want to pretend to not care about iYou are a genuine retard
>>739817524It's like with that Indiana Jones game, where the director said we'll be punching a lot of nazis and /v/ immediately declared the game woke, despite Indiana Jones taking place in 1930's.There is a reason nobody outside 4chan takes /v/ seriously.
>>739817398>>739817487SHUT IT DOWN >>739817487
>>739817603>We are moving on from old tropes what he probably meant >no more groping and slapping women what was blown out of proportion >Bond will be a onions male who never flirts
>>739817530>you have no actual figures, and you're still forgetting ALL the other parameters>actual quote from my postlike I said, I wasn't debating actual budget number but saying how it was irrelevant to the game success, I was telling the other retard he didn't have enough insightholy fuck you real can't read can you, the american education system at its prime lmao seriously kill yourself
>>739817214So Trump was an independent, as well as a registered Democrat, and shifted to the right?Just like Joe Rogan was a Berniebro and shifted to the right?You wanna talk gotchas, how about explaining how fucking retarded you have to be on the left to lose all these talking heads and push everyone towards the right? The right pretty much doesn't even need marketing, you do it for them it seems.
>>739817556there was multiple objectives in that room retarded shitposter
>>739817680People don’t want to admit it but the woke drought is very real.There’s nothing really woke to talk about, so they have to make stuff up to be upset about.
>>739817603I guess it's about "modern audiences"? The phrase /v/ always gets triggered about without even knowing what it actually means?
>dying light thread literally turns into a "NO!! TRUMP DIDNT SAY THAT HE LOVES ME" thread after 200 postsKWABOTY
>>739817741>Yeah? I'm a goycattle? Then what about Joe Rogan huh? What about asmongold? They believe in me. LOOOOOOL
>>739817487Video games? Nope. No relation whatsoever. Thanks!
>>739817742What? You cross through the backstage area once. But the middle of that room? I only walked through once.
>>739817839That's nothing I have seen KCD thread turn into very in depth discussion of Christian sects and medieval geography Mandalorian threads into Cops and ACAB threads
>>739817746Gwgb and similar things won. Companies even removed pronouns in introductions.>>739817778I've only seen these leftists call it woke but that line just reflects current population on London etc aka not a 45 year old looking James bond (younger guy) and an admitingly mixed race europe.Its not woke to represent current demographics in London etc.>>739817839I mean eggs are under 2 dollars. We won.>>739817680People freaked out more about the female Indiana Jones replacement character. I didnt play the game but thats what it was afaik.
>>739809876It did, it's a 100 years old franchise, the most popular spy ip in the world.
>>739817935fuck off retard
>>739817746I wouldn't say there is a woke drought. This game isn't woke, sure. But last year we had Avowed, Ghosts of Woketei, Assassins Creed Negroes, and KidsNCum Deliverance 2
>>739817746It’s woke, fag, and so are you. That’s why you keep losing. Seethe about it.
>>739818043So you can't answer what objective is in that room?
>>739817961>I mean eggs are under 2 dollars. We won. Lol
>>739817961Is gas still $5 average down there?
>>739809876That one twitter account polfags hate said it wasn't selling well thats why the marketing went cringe, it was a desperation move, but apparently then impression were very positive so maybe the winds change direction. Personally i think the whole for king and country thing is cringe as fuck.
>>739818118Really insane how trump back pedaled in every single election promise and people still contort themselves into saying they voted for this.
>>739817961>People freaked out more about the female Indiana Jones replacement character...there was no Indiana Jones replacement character in the game. He just gets a female sidekick as per usual./v/ mixed it up with that awful movie. But who cares, as long as rage is flowing.
>nipple covers baked into the meshthese niggas are cringelords
>>739817484Woke at this point just means it has non white people in it
>>739818118We are energy independant. We just decide to use others fuels so that in the year 9999 we will still have our stockpile. But yeah the grocery prices are way less than they used to be. Eggs cost 5 times less.
>>739818072It's not that's why you are grasping at straws >>739818046Out of all of them only ACS was something outrageous rest of em are alright
>>739818046Most of those games aren't even woke.
>>739818180Yeah I thought it was a movie and dont even know which specific Indian Jones game you even mean (I dont care about Indiana jones).But if the game has 0 woke stuff in it then like what are we doing lol.Like I said gwgb won mostly and I dont even see active woke games anymore.
>>739818208>We are energy independant.Lol
>>739818208Why do right wingers only live and breathe lies? Do they think people will fall for it?
>>739818225There is nothing that much offensive about ACS either. There is Yasuke, but he's barely in the game and he's not even inportant.
>>739818260In what world is playing a female samurai lesbian, a nigger samurai, or a medieval child sodomist not woke? Has the overton window moved so far that unless your character is reciting Marx directly while doing hardcore explicit anal it doesn't count as woke?
>>739812859It's funny, because the more money you have the more money you get from the government, I still remember the scandal months ago here in españistan where the up and coming journalist, Ignacio Escolar, got 80k from the government to make a basically propaganda documentary from the Civil War or Franco, the dude who's the owner of a paper, goes around every TV channel getting paid big money per appearance and gets millions of euros in institutional advertising from the government, but he really needed those 80k euros.
>>739818270Gas is 3.75-4 about.... what is this larp.>>739818316Higher Gas prices doesnt mean dependent or independent. My political opponents are retarded.
>>739818374I mean japnese rap music was fucking retarded
>>739818180>>739818269 I really like the Indiana Jones game, but Gina definitely qualifies as woke, since there are multiple spots in the game where she clearly upstages Jones with a smirk. And all of the final map is spent with her ordering your around incessently. She fucking flatlines the momentum of the game every time she is present (which again, is for an entire fucking act at the end).
>>739818316I was paying 4.20 a gal under King Nigger delivering Chinese food in NJ. All of you tourists are underage goldfish
>>739818518>since there are multiple spots in the game where she clearly upstages Jones with a smirkYou might be imagining things. It's Jones that does all the work all the time, while Gina's role is to throw hints during the puzzle segments.
>>739818316Nice to see you freaks kicked your egg obsession all of the sudden
>>739818576You can look at the price history, Anon. Gas wasn't $4.20 in 2012.
>>739818679So you already contradict yourself, since why does Indiana Jones need a journo chick giving him hints during puzzles. He should be explaining the puzzles to her.
>>739818771Did I say 2012? I said "under king nigger"
>>739809876how many did nvidia buy to give away with cards?
>>739818848You can check the price history Anon. Show it to the class. And not a single gas station either.
>>739818806For the same reason Atreyus keeps giving hints to Kratos. So that the player has some feedback.
>>7398188852008 gas hit 4.20
>>739809936cope
>to appeal to a younger demographic, who doesn't care about Bond as it is, they had to make him younger, wise-cracking (instead of suave), and have a 'diverse' support castHow bad does the game beat you over the head with this?
>>739818932Show us the charts. Or you can't?
>>739810583lollmaoimagine thinking this doesn't look like pozzed trash
>>739813695>>739813741HUMMINA HUMMINA AWOOOGABOING BOING BOINGOF?!
>>739819017It doesn't? He's younger and less jaded, but he is still Bond. He still hits on every woman in vicinity, he still has awful zingers, he's still a suave bullshitter.
>>739819039this isnt very hard anon. does your mother still spoonfeed you at dinner too?
>>739813695>>739813741>>739819157>zoomer haircutlegit as big of a turn-off as being fat
>>739817896>>Yeah? I'm a goycattle?That's rich coming from someone whose gotcha cope to a Republican President happening after all, is posting quotes that don't exist disproved by AP, and then having no retort for the Left being the best source for right wing recruitment in history. Maybe shocking dogs as a sacrifice to Moloch is not enough for you lot. You need to up the ante, your "left wing Rogan" in terms of Hasan is kind of shitting the bed.
>>739819017>Hey we want to make more bond games >Well let's start with an origin story
>>739819305>shocking dogs as a sacrifice to Molochone thing i'll give to chuds over trannies in this epic culture war, they can be funny
>>739819039Erm its above 4 and adjusted average it can hit 6 on some charts.Thats national average btw.If we look at new jersey it can hit 5 dollars with 8 adjusted.
>>739819157If a woman like this walked up and kissed you lightly on the cheek your boner would crush diamonds
>>739809986This. In the modern era of mega-rich billion dollar corporations bankrolling random projects that never turn profit for "cultural reasons", it's fine to release flops. That's why 20 Concord-likes released yet not a single studio shut down over it. Hell, Sony made 3 of them and didn't even blink.
>>739819247Interesting. So the spike was because of the recession and it trended lower. Now it is spiking back up again because Trump started a war for Israel for no reason.
>>739817896Okay but they do want to kill anyone center or to the right. Kirk was assassinated because they couldnt argue against a moderate. They would want to kill anyone more conservative.
>>739813950That faggot michael also not disclosing that he's playing on easy difficulty
>>739819474"Interesting"Raped?
>>739809876>>739809936Why is reddit pissed at the game this time?
>>739815038If you remember Blood stone, it's basically that with a sprinkle of hitman
maybe im a dumb retard that is easy to please, but im really enjoying the combatim not really surprised /v/ hates this game but it was kinda everything i wanted it to be
>>739819531Numbers don't care about which internet forum you frequent
Cuckypenny
>>739819528Yeah, at the pumps. Thanks Trump.
>>739813337The irony of this is people tend to vote more conservative the older and more world weary they get. The bleeding heart liberal hippies of the 60s are the ones voting for republicans today
>>739818206Well no shit. Why should I as a White male buy some media that has people that don't look like me in it?
>>739819667It's mostly because Republicans make policies that benefit older people, who tend to be wealthier. Look at Trump's stance on housing. He wants to keep it unaffordable on purpose to retain value for boomers like himself.
Who else here having a /blast/?
>>739819567It's a Hitman game with James Bond skin. In terms of James Bond it misses the mark, in terms of Hitman it's an okay Hitman game save for shitty racing sequences.I remember the looney troon circus trying to label this game as woke a few months back with the pic related article, trying to spin the journalist's insinuations and mouthfart as if they were coming from the dev himself.Was laughable. The retard didn't even read his own garbage.The psyops are getting ridiculous.
>>739813695this literally is a mutt zoomer>ay sheii i got that shit on fr fr no cap yall finna be me
>>739819567I like this bullshitting system the game has. Bond can literally walk straight into restricted areas by lying his ass off. I guess that's how they replaced the disguise system from Hitman.
>>739819608Its cheaper than when Obama was president 15 years ago though
>>739809876>/v/ - Angry Marketers Gloating About Sales Numbers Why do you cunts give threads like this any replies
>>739819567Brawling is nothing new but it feels pretty good shooting also feels much bettter than hitman
>>739819767It's nothing like a Hitman game you disingenuous queer.
>>739819780You can see in the chart Anon shared it is higher though. And this is self inflicted thanks to the Iran War.
>>739819804Because it's fun to laugh at chuds who are angry at things that only exist in their heads again.
>>739819847I wonder if 4.25 in 2010 is more expensive than in 2026? Oh infoation?
>>739815698the left cant meme
>>739809876I'm going to be honest with (you) Anon. I couldn't give less of a shit for an UNCslop franchise like 007.
>>739815698>>739819926Pretending people called this woke is so weird.
>>739819567i genuinely cannot understand who enjoys this movieslop lmao, i play stuff like retro shooters and rts/tbs so it's just incomprehensible to me
>>739815698Mucho texto o algo
>>739820028>Called*they are doing it right nowit's just a time killer now
>>739817896>that imageso why was kirk killed then
>>739819926>want to get rid of the anti-sovl gas by changing to srgb>skin tones become pinkbenchod devs
>>739819767This game really isn't Hitman with a James Bond skin and there are multiple people who would prefer this game to be a Hitman James Bond game. Like, this game is closer to Absolution than anything in Hitman WoANot that I think that's actually bad for James Bond either. If we're being honest NightFire wasn't too different from GoldenEye or The World Is Not Enough and its still a great Bond game.>>739820037I mean I play those too, I just generally don't have a problem with it because this game is based on James Bond films. Like the structure of it makes sense, the insulting shit about moviegames for me was that they took IPs or franchises or made random new games that could've been something else into moviegames. If you're doing it for James Bond or like Indiana Jones then I don't give a fuck, they're already movies.
>>7398098761.5 isn't big but anons don't hate that game either
>>739820154The anti soul gas is used well, it creates a nice atmosphere, reminds me of a lot of older games.
why is some random troon melting down about trump in a video game thread
>>739809876The layoffs announcement will be public in a few months.
>>739819967You have to factor in a lot of other things like wages and standard of living since we have been decreasing lately. It's not quite linear. I'm sure someone has done it.
>>739820190guess i can understand it if you're a huge james bond fan, not sure if there are any film series i would want to play through a moviegame version of. story won't be as good anyway
>hundreds of millions of dollars in development alone>for a billion dollar, multi-decade movie franchise>normie friendly moviegame that you can't fail in if you tryIf anything, the goyim should have flocked to this even more than they did.
Friendly reminder that the slop known as Goldeneye Rogue Agent was a commercial success within the first month of release and the market has grown 22x since then while Uncharted 007 has still failed to net any money.
I'm not keeping up with culture war slop why's this game with generic white guy actionman #656054 woke again?
FOR FUCK'S SAKE, JUST FLOP ALREADY!
>>739820390NO NO NO SHUT UP SHUT UP CHUD DELETE THIS NOW NOW NOW NOOOOOOOOW!!!
>>739820327Real wages and purchasing power has actually dropped according to all metrics in 2026. Combined with inflation it's raping a lot of American families. Even Trump said, "hard times" are coming. But it will be worth it. Supposedly. For Israel.
>>739820326It's doing much better than Indiana Jones and so far no one at MachineGames was laid off either
>>739820394Read the thread. Tons of browns, all women are uggos, Bond’s a fag, and the gameplay is shit. Only shills and liberals (same thing) will disagree.
>>739820478Indy was on saarpass
>>739820390>by the end of 2004So it only sold 1 million in 5 weeks? While First Light sold 1.5 million in a single day? Yeah i'm thinking IOI cooked here, great success for them.
>>739820541That's not making it much better for them.
>>739820583Majority of game sales come from the first 3 days or so while average attention span is significantly lower in 2026 than 2004 lol. No one will be talking about this game within 2 weeks, just like Forza Horizon 6 which came out last week or Crimson Desert last month.
>>739820641Well actually it gives them more job security regardless of sales performance, MS owns Machinegames
>>739820693>Great opening sales, fantastic word of mouth to the point where even Chudtubers like Synthetic and Asmon are calling it good and not woke, immaculate review scoresThis game is gonna have strong legs, 5 million by the end of june is easy.
>>739820773Just like Marathon and Mixtape, right? See you in the layoff threads!
>>739820697>Microsoft>job securityTell that to Turn10 and Tango and Arkane and The Initiative and RARE and Zenimax Online and Raven Software
>>739820583>nooo you can't compare>games only sell for 24hours, after that no sales are allowed anymore>if a game doesn't sell 100mio copies in the first 5min it's a flop
>>739820773SyntheticMan is actually seething and at the verge of killing himself, specifically because he can't find anything woke about the game.
>>739820818So another chud-coded game is flopping? Say it ain't so!
>>739820901Wait, so is it a chud game now and it's flopping or a woke one and it's succeeding?
>>739820849Who are you quoting.
>>739820951this retard >>739820693
>>739820941It's a chud game that is succeeding but chuds are saying it's a woke game that is flopping.
>>739820864>those facesYeah, not buying this one.
>>739820887>obsessing over random grifterHi gcj
>>739820989Oh nevermind, you're a based anon!
>>739820773assmongoloid viewers are broke indians and synthetic man viewers are pirates so they're irrelevant
>>739821017>this is a chud gameYeah, nobody's falling for it, fag. Buy an ad. If you reply to this post, I win.
>>739819071Why?
>>739821136you win what?
>>739821163Your mother's vagina. Tell her to open up the ol' thighs, because Daddy Chuddy's coming in DEEP!
>>739821136The only woke thing here is indian CEO but even that is the reality we live in, the game is set in modern day London, saars are CEOs of many big companies. Moneypenny is cute ash
>>739821017>game full of jeets and nigs>he still calls it chud
>>739821258Saars are CEO of Microsoft, Xbox and GOOGLE. London is full of saars and pakis. The game is not.Anons are calling aryan blonde women "mutts" these days. You've been blackpilled and mindbroken by third world Changs who want you to obssess over china and hate the west.
>>739820314>anti soul gasthis is literally just modern lighting engines no one does pre-baked lighting anymore, they all just rely on soulless dynamic lighting because they're lazy which results in everything looking flat and hazy
>>739819719Because you find it interesting? Are you retarded.
>>739820849>doesn't understand the simple concept of a budget or how game sales work thinking the game is magically gonna break even at its $20 discount
>>739821351What TF is this then man >>739821136 ?Also fuck china and changs
>>739820887The game isn't woke. It's just a shit interactive gamemovie.
>>739821395>finding anti White slop interestingKYS jeet
>>739809876I mean 1.5 million doesnt mean it didnt flop.What was the cost, including marketing, vs the revenue made on 1.5 million units sold.Gta 6 for example will need to be like 150 dollars to make a profit and thats with selling tens of millions of units and microtransactions out the ass.
>>739821369I think most of the lighting here is baked actually, there's zero raytracing yet, they'll add it in june or something.
>>739812438Genuinely what in the actual fuck are you talking about?
>>739821436There's one saar in that image.Here are blonde white women, white french women, a flat asian, a portugese latina and a mixed afrocutie. >>739810583
>>739821513>ALL SALES STOPPED AFTER THE FIRST DAY!!!see >>739820849
>>739821630OK cool. Now tell me more, do they have a big role in the game? Are they annoying blue haired dumb feminists? Are they bosses in a mini? Do they hate White men?
>>739821214>zoomer humoroof
>>739821423>1.5mio sales in 24hours>second best selling game on Steam after FH6>b-b-but it's a flop I tell you why don't you believe me
>>739821706>do they have a big role in the gameFor the most part.>Are they annoying blue haired dumb feminists?No, they're all lusting for you and would leave their boyfriends for you.>Are they bosses in a mini?No>Do they hate White men?No they all like you and call you handsome
>>739813629>his staged falseflag image got ignored againlmao I bet you were so proud of yourself for cooking this up too.
>>739811042Based beyond belief
>>739821806>For the most part.NTA but stopped reading there, not buying this slop.
>>739822075Do you want them to follow you around all the time?
>>739821798Another retard who doesn’t understand what making your investment back is.
>>739811042what am I even supposed to get from that
>>739809876weren't you supposed to kill yourself twitter tranny?
>>739822314Its selling like crazy on PS5.
>>739822314>muuh steam charts>completely ignores total sales>completely ignores the game being a best seller on steam>completely ignores the fact that the game JUST came outyep, it's retarding time
>>739821798>1.5mio sales in 24hours>68k peak on Steam>500k across PS5, XBX and Switch 2console plebs really will buy anything huh
most generic shit I've seen in my entire life not even worth $5
>>739822407moviegames were designed for consoles
>>739822392>>739822391Both you smoothbrains don't quite seem to understand it's months of preorders factored into those day 1 sales, right? Which is why they want people to preorder so bad - it all factors into day 1 sales which looks better for investors.
>>739822407yeah but that's not the point, top 3 selling games on steam right now are FH6, 007 and Paralives so many pc players are plebs too
>>739813515>they could have made 20 E33s with the money First Light costweird
>>739822423>genericname a similar game that came out in the last 5 yearsi hope we're gonna get many more action adventure cinematic moviegames like this again. who the fuck is still getting excited for UE5 soulsslop in 2026? LOL!
>>739822487doesn't change total sales either btw but I'll indulge, how many preorders then? so if a game has lots of preorders it means it's a flop? what kind of shitty logic is that
>>739809876>1.2 Mi "Sales">50k Players on steamAh yes, the 1.4 million from gamepass. Good old Microsoft incentivizing slop. Still not enough to pay the bills, layoffs incoming. >>7398099826.6 Years in development. 498 developers. Average developer Salary 133,080. 8 million for the James Bond License. 86,117,960. Development costs tend to be roughly double advertising, so tack on another 45 million. That's 131 Million. So at 69.99 for the standard, we'll assume to be generous they are able to sell enough cheap plastic to tack on another 5 bucks in proceeds on average. Don't forget about the 30% retailer cut for things like Steam, and Microsoft. So to break even the grand total sales needed is16,483,405 So assuming they aren't lying they are about 15 million copies shy of making their first dollar. Sorry no refunds!
>>739812404I wonder if that includes marketing and the license cost for James Bond, or if they also have to share their revenue with the IP holders.
>>739822487Game has amazing word of mouth especially due to chuds who keep calling it a shitty Uncharted clone like that's gonna make Snoys not buy it lol
>>739821685Dont try to change the subject answer the question. A flop means it doesn't earn its costs back so what did it cost
>>739822587>Ah yes, the 1.4 million from gamepass. Good old Microsoft incentivizing slop.tf is unc talmbout vro ts aint it :sob: :wilted_rose: :skull: :skull: :skull:
>>739820390I had no idea they sell games only for a day
>>739809876Western AAA games need to sold atleast 10 millions units to break even
>>739820693>Majority of game sales come from the first 3 daysNo KCD2 sold 3 million copies after that and E33 sold like 6 million copies
>>739822720It needs 5m for profits.1.5m on the first day is good because many were reluctant to buy it, including me, because it did look like AA slop at times. I bought it yesterday because good WoM and amazing reviews!
>Western AAA games need to sold atleast 10 millions units to break even
>>739822818Depends on the budgetyou can break even at 1 mil if it was around 50 million
>>739809876Needs to sell 25 million to break even
>>739813337Oh damn black unemployed 18-29 year olds are only 49% Liberal? Shits rough for the libs they don't even have the browns.
>>739810949>>739810971>after posting paid content.jpg post 5 more shill accusations within the hourThank you for admitting those were all your threads, and that you’re a shill. Now kill yourself jamboy.
>>739821136how do you do fellow chuds dont you think mutt women with broccoli haircuts are totally heckin valid as well? we need to secure a future for the beige race and a place in all arms of government for le based black men
>>739822850neither of which were linear moviegames
>>739822850Because of SALES you fucking retards. Selling 1 million copies at $30 is not the same as selling 1 million copies at $70. You also have gross sales and net sales. Modern games go 20% off after 2-3 months and 40% off after 5-6 months. So Last Light could sell 20 million copies for all I care but it's not doing it at $70. At the end of the day it might break even and maybe even make a little bit of profit but ultimately no one cares and we'll eventually see layoffs and more minimal viable slop.
>>739823361one is a fairly recent ip with only one other game in the seriesthe other is a completely new ipneither have ip recognition as important and universal as james bondneither is as normie friendly as some conventional action slopthe game is doing fine keep coping
>>739822745Do you think they just give the games away for free out of love to Microsoft? They pay them for it. Even if we assuming 007's sales are on the level of sports games like MLB The Show in it's distribution between consoles, and PC it can't have more than 400 actual copies, which is very unlikely as the standard for this genre is 39% on PC. Let me translate that into black zoom zoom. Microsoft want da bag. Dey ain't giffin it fo feee
>>739823361E33 is more linear than Bond >>739823514Idk what you are on it's IOI they'll release more content and more people will buy the game as simple as that
>>739812852If games like ff15 were flops selling 7 million units then this game selling 1.5 million during a period of even higher inflation than when ff15 came out shows that something is wrong with the game. Who knows it might keep rolling in sales, but I doubt this game has legs. The people buying this are the ones that just love james bond.
>>739823579that is some cope and you know it my friendthe game isn't going to triple its full price sales to break the 200 million development cost
>>739809876How different is it from Casino Royale?
>>739814228Honestly polymarket needs to do betting on game flops.It would be such a kino category.maybe it would be hard to track sales but tracking highest player count at anyone time on steam within launch week.
nobody cares about your imaginary numbers you twtitter subhuman
>>739823636you don't know that, plenty other games do it despite not being as big as james bondwhy you can't face the reality that some generic action slop game, with the bond name on it and made by a decently liked company, would sell easilymaking games is always a risk (especially big ones), but you'd have to be really dumb to bet against this one lol
>>739822937If you're a major studio spending 6.6 years paying 500 people's salaries. To put expected sales for IO Interactive in perspective they sold 25 Million copies of Hitman World of Assassination, Hitman Absolution was considered a massive flop prompting mass layoffs, and it sold 5 million, and they had less employees, and a 3 year development cycle as opposed to a 6.6 year one. IO Interactive is not two people in a garage.
>>739818929>Using GoW as an example of not wokeLmao
>>739819017It doesn't. Other than M being a Jeet, and there being a female chess player, there isn't anything woke whatsoever.
Bond is literally a boomer series the only people who would buy this are boomer normalfags
>>739809876>wasn't it supposed to flop?1 million sales was widely considered a flop and unimpressive when picrel reached it in the first 24 hours, and that game had a significantly lower budget because it was made in Asia, where they pay lower wages.Now, similar numbers are considered a success? Are you fuckers insane? Just because it's not a woman in spandex, you're suddenly this retarded?If the game reaches 10 million or more, you can consider that an actual success, because they will have gotten their money back and then some. Until then, the investors won't be happy with this performance.
>>739824636>boomer normalfagsI always assumed that was the moviegame target demographic anyway
>>739824662No it's because it was mid and the defenders were really weird chuds about it
>>739820390why do peope use gross revenues like they are earned money, that shit is taxed and shared between a dozen companies, even if you are solo on Steam you give 30% to Gaben before touching taxable income (so likely another 24% VAT is gonna drop)
>>739819189The clothing makes it so hard to see him as Bond. You spend most of the game in a leather jacket and baggy jeans.
>>739812438First off. Go fuck yourself.Second off this isn't supposed to be your typical run and gun retard slop. Your a fucking spy and have to use what remains of your pathetic brain to get through various areas. Fucking contrarian faggots trying to make this game look like ass simply to satisfy there retarded schitzo agenda.
>>739825080Simmer down, shilly, you’ll get your nickel even if anon doesn’t like the game.
>>739825080>Use your brain>Follow the trail of yellow paint and blue tarps.
1.5 million - 1
>>739825080>spy game>just follow the instructions goyEven goldeneye did it better and that was an fps
1 trillion + 8 x 3 / 5
>>739825210There is no paint or tarps that tell you who to interact with in the various paths you can take on each mission. An example being in the chest tournament there is more then one way to obtain a staff key or a press pass.>>739825315>goyYup only schitzos hate this game. Typical.
GoldenEye 64>Grenade>Grenade launcher>Rocket launcher>Throwing knife>Laser gun>Remote mine>Timed mine>Proximity mine>One shot Golden GunWhat a fun weapons sandbox this Nintendo 64 James Bond game. I can't wait to use all of these in First Light!
>>739825481One those multiple ways are highlighted with paint and blue tarps.And its a very small section with a couple of very obvious paths. Its not like Dishonored or something where you can actually get creative.
>>739825481Saaar
>>739824529Let's ignore James Bond constantly needing diverse woman and blacks to save him out of situations, because how dare a white man do anything by himself. Not woke though.
>>739826008Bond getting bossed around by a woman is not new and first light definitely wasn't the first bond to do this
>>739826008That's always been part of Bond. He has a black friend in in the first film, Dr. No that dies for him. In the second film, From Russia With Love, the Bond girl is the one who kills the main villain and saves him.
>le women are le bossySo I take it you incels never had sex (much less had sex at all) with a woman who likes to get bossy during sex?Because that is the hottest shit ever
>>739813904Same reason they wanted BG3 to fail. Because they wanted to circlejerk about it's failure.
>>739826602>millennial out of nowhere talking about his cuckold fantasiesew

>>739813807>how many reddit buzzwords can I fit into a sentence to defend my AAA dev cum game
>>739819531Even woke bond is still too problematic for them
God I can't wait for your 1 month contracts to end and this game disappears from the internet entirely save for when it shows up in a rare thread as part of a shitty game collage or list.
>>739830003>anyone who likes a game I don't like is a paid shillIt must be exhausting to be so jaded with everything in your life
Missed opportunity to have various suit outfits reflecting the different eras of the prior Bonds.
>>739830003God I can't wait for [DISCUSSION TOPIC I DON'T LIKE] to end and this [ON TOPIC DISCUSSION] to disappear from the internet entirely save for when it shows up in a [ON TOPIC] thread as part of a shitty game collage or list.
>>739809936Bondxisters...
>>739809876don't care. i don't wanna play a james bond game where bond gets constantly insulted, rescued and ordered around by girlbosses and where every white guy in general is depcited as evil or inferior to women
>>739830146>>739831108I've made that exact same post in many a shit shilled game thread and every single one was replied to in a similar vain, and without fail every single one stopped being discussed after 1 month.I'd say see you in a month but we both know that won't happen.
>>739809876seems a bit low
>>739831649>singleplayer game stops being talked about after everyone's played through itwow no shit
>>739831649>I've made that exact same post in many a shit shilled game threadThanks for derailing /v/ideogame discussion with your /pol/shit! Keep up the good work and see you on the next one.
>>739831108Yeah, that. Except without removing the mention of shills.
>>739823621dont forget io has to pay amazon for the bond license, the dnd guys charged 30% of all sales with bg3, spiderman 1 and 2 had the same deal with disney. So io is only getting 40% of the revenue.
>>739822850KCD2 got those because it was a genuinely good game and was very "clippable" which helped for free marketing. E33 got those sales because of a coordinated omega dick sucking campaign by every controlled outlet on the planet.
>>739820693Forza is a racing game, so obviously. Crimson Desert is forgettable trash, so obviously. 007 First Light is a genuinely good game.
