Are these idiots out of their fucking minds?
Why the fuck would you add DEI to a game that cost $500 million to make?
How did the fuck you decide this was a good idea?
What the fuck is wrong with this world?
Why the fuck would Microsoft let these idiots waste $500 million???
>Okay, I actually played Gears of War: E-Day, and the game is actually pretty fun. The combat is fun, and for a shooter, it has an incredibly long playtime and a ton of content. It’s a shame they had to throw in that boring and annoying Black lesbian character, make her the protagonist, and have her spout nothing but nonsense,it ruined the whole thing.
Good thing I played a pirated copy,I’m not giving Microsoft a single penny.

But according to one source familiar with Xbox’s business, the cost of Gears of War: E-Day is in fact much higher. They told Kotaku it was over $500 million, and that’s before you include marketing. That would put it significantly above the reported budgets of other console-exclusive blockbusters this generation,

Nah~ The gameplay is definitely pretty good, but the story is just as important.
Just like the Call of Duty campaign.
That’s right,the game is all about shooting, but the story is crucial.
This time around, the story in Modern Warfare 4 is pretty interesting.
If there were no story and just shooting, Call of Duty would be trash.
Just like Black Ops 7
The worst Call of Duty ever

I've always loved the architectural style in Gears of War,it feels like a mix of 18th century European style and industrial heavy metal.
It's a very unique style, with intricate designs you don't see in any other games.

Most Games need to go back to being made by smaller teams of 50 to 200 devs max. There is no reason why a 8 to 16 hour game should have credits longer than 5, possibly 10 minunites.

Xbox first party games are designed as loss leaders for gamepass. That was Spencers strategy for the whole console generation. For Asha to revamp that it's just straight up too late.

Are you retarded sis. The game is still supposed to be profitable through it's effect on consumers. There is no way it could ever generate $500 million worth of interest let alone more than that for it to be worth being a loss leader in the first place.

Even if that number is wrong and they only spent like $150 million on gears, how did they manage to spend that much? It's a linear ass shooting game with mediocre multiplayer.

Yes and Xbox is analyzing subscriber rate, and a million other metrics, to determine that. Sold copies are a nice side effect but the main purpose is to sell gamepass subscriptions.

>>750133790
a lot of these studios are based in cities with insane costs of living and are bloated to the point of bursting with top heavy management, teams/committees to get anything approved, and redundant job positions which slows development to a crawl.
When you look at how long these projects are incubating for and the amount of cash being burned just to keep the lights on and people employed the figures start to make sense.

>>750133697
I'm actually too lazy to look all this shit up, and i highly doubt any of this is even public, but let's say gamepass games(just the newly released games, not the operating cost) have a FY budget of $Xbn that means that all those newly released games have to generate $Xbn in gamepass subscriptions in that FY. Keeping old games on that service PROBABLY doesn't cost Xbox anything so they are just added value IN ADDITION to the newly released games. Xbox PROBABLY splits the gamepass FY revenue according to analytics and metrics among the FYs released games. Problem is nobody actually knows anything but that equation makes sense to me.

the gameplay is unironically good (pve horde). But Gears of war is from the era of linear campaign heavy cinematic games. It's a niche that doesn't justify people paying full price for a game. The campaign is pozzed and worthless, and PVP multiplayer is way too retarded for anyone to take seriously competitively.
If you played the PVE horde during the free 2 week beta, you already got the most out of this game.

Modern AAA is obsessed with graphical fidelity which leads to them needing twelve billion artists pumping out models and assets constantly. We reached "good enough" graphics years ago which should have lead to game studios reusing old assets for new games to save a ton of dev time.
I don't think these companies understand that most people aren't interested in buying $70 games at release these days either after years of horrible buggy awful bullshit from other big games.
It seems like every time a big budget game comes out it's half off a few months later.

Isn't that in part because that's where most devs live? It's fine for a local team to live in bum fuck usa or european countryside or whatever but if you wanna make triple a slop, you need to be in a place with a lot of software devs already since a large team aren't gonna move to the sticks for you. Especially if they wanna quit or get laid off in a few years, since they have to find a new job and a new house.
The obvious workaround would be for you to base your dev in a town within a hours drive/ Train ride from a major city, however even that might be too big of a leap for some people.

It wouldn't surprise me if shareholders are just trying to pull the same shit with video games that they did with Toys R us.

Where they buy the companies, have the companies blow through millions and millions of dollars that they collect through other companies they own. Then they have the game company buy debt from their other companies and bankrupt the video game company effectively using it as a means to eliminate debt and also write off a fuck ton of other corpo spending

This figure is bogus because all they are doing is grabbing TC salaries from 2019 to 2026 and calling it a day. When The Coalition does way more than just doing Gears, they are basically Xbox's tech division that has their hands in multiple game studios over there, they work as a support studio for other xbox game, specially if those use Unreal Engine. For example, they multiple times had to babysit 343 with Halo:Infinite/Halo CE because they were that incompentent. This is why 343 was canned, they symphoned way too much resources from Xbox as a whole that even other studios had to go and help, TC does the exact opposite, they serve as the workhorse studio that goes and help, hence the huge budget they have for the studio as a whole. The Coalition's existance is also why Microsoft ended up gutting id Software, since they saw more reliable to invest in Unreal Engine that on ID Tech.

Helping other studios, TC's other job is being a workhorse studio that helps every Xbox dev studio, and this is the money they had since 2019 to 2026. Probably $100 Million alone went in helping 343 with Halo Infinite and Halo CE remake.

Why do they love putting all their eggs in one basket?
Why not divide that 500 million among like, I don't know, 100+ different smaller indie-scale projects that get like 1-5 million dollars in budget?
Games like Balatro, Stardew Valley and Hollow Knight prove that you can make games that sell tens of millions of copies with a tiny budget of way less than a million dollars.

I think it's because they're legitimately lacking in language skills. You might hear similar ticks from ESLs who learn on their own instead of formal schooling; it is heavily accented/wrongly accented, words stumble and come out awkward, and repetition is common due to lacking the right word in the moment.

Nigga, right now, I see normies everywhere using the chud term in an endearing way like "look at my cute fictional character, he's such a loser chud :3". An insult created by leftists specifically to designate us as untouchable has not only been completely overtaken by us, but normies use it and love it. We are where a vast portion of internet culture and modern culture in general comes from, every game we hate either flops or underperforms because we represent actual gamers (and humans).

The black lesbian was a huge mistake, but let's not delude ourselves, it's impossible for Xbox to produce a game people will like because there's a huge bias against them in the industry. If the game is not on PS5 then it's shit. The fact that this got more attention than Wolverine, which is both woke AND a bad game is telling.
>>
>>750152335
I still have no clue what the fuck a chud is, I just know that only the most ignorant or the most evil people use it in any serious context, so I can safely assume that feller is unworthy of regard and no word he says is in any way serious.

Customers may be fickle, but when a vidya works, it will generally keep working so changing it is just about the stupidest shit to do and these retard devs with no passion and grovel to the actual marxists in HR deserve to have that work ripped to shreds with extreme prejudice.
