Why did mewgenics fail
>>744599359Punishing savescummers
>>744599359>"Why did my flavor of the month lose flavor?"
>>744599359a pun does not make a game great
steak too chewy
After you finish the main story, side quests, impossible modes, and bosses, there's nothing left to do. It took me 400 hours in total, and you don't feel like playing anymore, just waiting for a DLC that adds more content.
Are individual game and movie titles now expected to grow infinitely too?
>>744599359nobody actually likes cats he fell for the meme>>744600049yeah it's not pick up and play like isaac, there's no daily runs and save files are long and involved campaigns
>>744599359the UI is ass and it's main draw - eugenics breeding - is implemented like shit.
>>744599359I don't think it failed? It sold over a million copies. The reason the playerbase has dropped is because once you beat the game there is no incentive to continue doing runs beyond doing difficulty challenges. Other than that, the time you have to spend managing your base keeps increasing more and more.
>>744601760No it failed because it doesn't have 1 million concurrent players as a single-player game several months after release.
>>744601871well, it currently sits at around 5k concurrent players, which isn't terribly bad for a roguelike, though it does pale in comparison to Isaac, which was already sitting at a comfy 30k~ active players every month before it blew up even further thanks to a sale.Mewgenics could maybe get there years from now, if in the dlc they streamline a lot of the mechanics to make it easier to drop into a run. That and modding support.In the end though I still think it'll be overshadowed by Isaac simply because it is a more niche game.
>>744602580I would say concurrent players isn't a metric for success but that TBOI sale made Edmund a boatload of cash
>>744601760>The reason the playerbase has dropped is because once you beat the game there is no incentive to continue doing runs beyond doing difficulty challenges.most dropped the game way before act III, wouldn't that qualify as a failure at that point?
Edmund's a weirdo.
>>744599359The breeding part sucked and led to tedium in the actual game, just not a fully baked concept
artificial hype and you fell for it
I liked it and will play the DLC
Why did /v/ fail
>>744605153I'm having a blast though
1. Game is punishing2. Cannot savescum3. People can't pace themself and blame its too long4. Act 2 is the great filter
>>744604485anon the vast majority of games purchased on steam are dropped around the first 2-10 hours. Why do you think progression achievements see such steep decline?
>>744599359The lead programmer bought a new house with the money they made on sales.
>why fotm not fotm'ingGee...
Because $0yreddit heckin caiterino retardation should be shunned into oblivion.
Nobody wants to play a game that supports eugenics and platforms a convicted rapist.
Brown OP
>>744604567100% this. I'd play it if it was made by anyone else on earth.
>>744599359it combined 2 great concepts: being ugly and being boring
>>744605606Act 2 is brutal. You raise a cat for several generations and then send it out and it gets pushed into a cactus by the wind and explodes and your necromancer eats the remains.
Did the shitposters get humiliated. It feels like they ran from the thread.
>>744605153influx of indians, browns and bots
>>744605606game is punishing yes but you cannot soft or hardlock yourselfyou can safely savescum twice per run with no penalty, third time is 10% chance to not do anything which barely hurts the cat>>744607312how do you keep a lineage for several generations before crater and without a third room which is 50 fucking retirees, i beat crater and bunker first tryi mostly used fantastic strays for all of act 1
>>744599359Cat/House management was a giant pain in the ass on release, that's why I dropped it. I'll check it out in a decade once all the DLCs are out like with Isaac and if it's still not fixed I'll call steakmund a nigger, until then don't care
>>744605153normgroids started consuming ai sloppa fake 4chan posts from twitter so they dont need to come here + shitposters keep getting diminishing returns so they fuck off to bait elsewhere + particularly vicious narcissistic schizoids fucked off to hugboxier alternatives + all before mentioned demographics pushed out the fun/creative type of autists a long time ago so there's no good OC to come here for
>>744608204You can bypass Steven entirely with end process tree.
>>744608204>i beat crater and bunker first tryI took 500 quicksaves to beat Xcom 2. Don't underestimate how bad I am at video games.
Runs become tedious and boring desu
>>744599359No unskippable fully animated cutscene of Marshmallow pegging your cat she ran off with every time you lose one to her.
>>744599359literally the definition of fotm
>>744605153janny trannies and modniggers banning anyone talking about video games and actively defending offtopic shit just because they personally like it
>>744599359What the hell? The squiggly line is going down. That's not cool.
>>744599359The gameplay is too antagonizing in all aspects and completely disrespects the player's time.It's just not that fun to play for the sake of itself like Isaac is.
>>744605153The majority of users are zoomers who started using the site post 2016 that don't mesh with the earlier culture at all and they have been conditioned by being raised on social media to be extremely sarcastic turbo assholes that hate everything and actively try to ruin every discussion, while at the same time having a terrible frame of reference for gaming in general so they have an extremely distorted sense of what good and bad games are like. This makes trying to converse with any of them extremely unproductive and insufferable. Meanwhile the board is absolutely saturated with total dogshit like eceleb and gacha threads, stuff that would've gotten you a month long ban AT LEAST in the past, and it's still fast enough that decent, slower threads get bumped off the log quickly by all the spam.tl;dr gentrification combined with a loss of culture mixed with the mods and jannies being useless cultural parasites that shouldn't even be posting here, much less managing the place
>>744605153What a failure. /sPoorly moderated and lack of $70 generic gacha anime scam dlc.Time for /v2/!
>>744599359Weeeell you rub a flavour on a month and the month turns fat not sure what's up with thatFOTMGENICS!
>game designed with hardcore gamers in mind>filters casualssheesh i wonder why
>>744599359unlocks too longruns too longrng too punishingneeding to farm equipment
>>744599359no joke, the house management stuff ruins the gameI don't want to have to look up optimal breeding guides, I just want to play the fucking game without my cats exploding if they get lightly brushed by an enemy
>>744599359I dropped the game after beating Act 2 and hearing everyone say that Act 3 was pure fucking AIDS.>>744605153This place is a cesspool now. Endless normalfags, Xitter tourists, coom threads, off-topic threads, Tendies, Deltatroons, etc. etc. etc.
Sex With Marshmallow!SEEEX!!!
>>744605153Moot selling and not killing /pol/.
>>744605153What happened here exactly?
>>744618213Probably all the summer events like SGF and what not
>>744599359Because it wasn't fun.
>>744618213That's when we all had sex.it was wonderful you should of been there.
>why did successful game shitted and flopped?what causes misconceptions like this? Google is free.
>>744618471if something isn't in the cultural zeitgast 24/7 then it shitted and flopped
zoom in
>>744605153Newfags
