Gamers. Won.

>70
Gamesux btw

You're a fucking retard if you pre-order a game for any price.

ha ha ha im so happy these corporate cocksuckers are having fun fucking me in the ass

it's gamepass slop anyways, no one is buying this turd

They saw that literally 0 people preordered at that price. That's the only reason why

>>716252238 (OP)
>lower price to $70
>look like the good guys and $70 is now seen as low and acceptable
gamers are fucking retards

>>716252238 (OP)
The preorders must have been abysmal.

Everyone who gives a fuck is just planning to play on GamePass.

>>716252384
nobody is gonna buy this either way

Only Nintendo games can justify prices above $20.

>>716252238 (OP)
This shit is on gamepass right? Who the fuck is preordering it

>>716252484
The resident obsidijeet will buy at least 1000 copies for himself.

>>716252507
faggot manchild

>>716252238 (OP)
They could lower it to $30 and it would still sell nothing

>>716252238 (OP)
>paying for a gamepass game
Not like I would pay for gamepass either, but come on now.

>>716252384
>>716252238 (OP)
I bought into Fomo for 2 games I've been waiting years for in their "Buy early access to the game a week early! for $100 USD" bundle.
Both games "Starfield" and "Civilization VII" were both broken messes on launch, and not worth it.

I'd never buy this tier again, it's only offered in desperation to bank on years of hype.

This same reason also is why I'd never preorder a game for 80+ Dollars again in my life.

Fuck these fraudsters

>>716252628
>Bawww the actual market doesn't matter
Snoy shit ends up in $20 sales a month after release, companies can't just charge whatever they want. They are forced to adapt to the market.

OH THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PAY $70 FOR A VIDEO GAME VERY COOL VERY BASED

Outer Worlds is most well known for some fags fansong, what makes them think they can charge anything for these games?

>>716252707
>we are stupid drones that spend $100 on cardboard
>this is a good thing actually
kys

>>716252384
Hasn't $70 been the new release ceiling for a few years now?

This is unironically a great deal now. Adjusted for inflation modern games should be $100, so this is basically on a -30% sale on launch day.

Goty 2025 was 50 dollars btw

>>716252756
>brings up product no one bought that flopped and shidded
go be a retarded commie somewhere else

They know it's going to bomb, this is just a convenient opportunity to say "see? price doesn't matter! otherwise it would have been a hit!"

>>716252238 (OP)
Who even asked for a sequel to that game? It was forgotten about not even 3 months after release.

>>716252814
we are stupid drones that spend $80 on a shitty open world Mario Kart that is a downgrade from 8DX in every way
>this is a good thing actually
kys

>>716252238 (OP)
Keep not pre-ordering it and see how far they'll drop the price out of desperation

>>716252238 (OP)
I wonder what the revenue lost for them will be
(80 - 70) * 0 = ?

>>716252757
No, that was $60. $70 is when Sony decided they wanted to be greedy and upcharge, and now Nintendo is wanting $100 for games. We should have fought harder against this shit.

>>716252937
>It's not worth $80 even though people buy it because I said so!!!
Any other youtube/twitter opinions

>$70 for a video game
most games aren't worth $60

lmao they are completely aware this game is going to flop

>>716253062
>meth is the best drug ever!!
>millions of meth heads can't be wrong!!!
fucking retard, kys

>>716252660
>Civ VII

I learned my lesson with Beyond Earth to not pre order civ games.

>>716253062
No game, I repeat, no game, is worth paying 80 fucking dollarydoos. Not when rent costs literally as much as the average wage and you need to work 2 jobs just to survive.

>>716252238 (OP)
why is this writing style so embarrassing?

>>716252931
No one. I regretted even wasting a couple of hours on it for free. Boring and insufferable.

>>716253165
I'm and several other people are willing to pay $80 for it, so it's worth $80. Sorry you're not white and can't afford nice things.

>>716253139
So what separates Nintendo games from Xbox and Snoy if Nintendo actually moves units while they don't

>>716252238 (OP)
I wouldn't even pay $10 for this game

WE'RE BREAKING THE CONDITIONING

>>716253085
Got the first one for free and I still feel like I got scammed somehow

>>716253252
>white
Jewish you mean. Unless your daddy's a lawyer no one can afford that shit.

>>716252507
No nintendo game is worth more than $5.

>>716253252
>Sony doesn't move units
holy cope, their gaming division alone makes way more than Nintendo, just less profit because they aren't nickel and diming turbojews like Nintendo

>>716253192

OP is a shill, most likely some shit smeared jest that gets paid a few cents an hour to defend corporate slop.

>>716252238 (OP)
>pre-ordering Gamepass filler
Being owned by Xbox is the worst fate of all, your games are inherently worthless because of Gamepass, but execs still expect numbers despite your game having nearly zero cost to entry. Only Microsoft would and could run this moneysink operation, it's baffling how much it conceptually doesn't work on every level.

I wonder what the world would look like if I went back in time and killed Edward Bernays as a baby

>>716252238 (OP)
I will only buy a game for $20 or less
This is not negotiable
No interest in this game thougheverbeit

The Outer Worlds wouldn't be worth playing a sequel to if it was offered for free

>>716253601
I'll only fork over 20 if it's on discount. $15 is the most I'll pay full price for a game.

>>716252384
whatever it takes to own the capitalist pigs baby!

I stilll won't be buying it lol.

>>716253601
you mean $7

>>716252238 (OP)
How is a game dropping from $80 to $70 a win? Lmao

>>716252238 (OP)
They're competing against every game to have ever released, the vast majority of which are available for less than $70. What does this game do to justify its cost?

>>716253048
Yeah but that was like 5 years ago when the PS5 launched and I'm pretty sure xbox/pc and eventually nintendo started charging $70 for new releases soon after.

>>716252238 (OP)
I wouldn't play an obsidian game for 29.99
Fuck they should be paying me to sit through it

>>716252238 (OP)
Doom flopping probably played a part in this. Truly only Nintendo can get away with it.

>>716252238 (OP)
I ain't paying more than $20.

>outer worlds sucked
>lets make sequel and charge $70 for it lol
won't even pirate

>>716252628

Don't sign your posts.

>>716252238 (OP)
>expecting praise for $70
60. 60 is the standard, not 70

>>716252660
>This same reason also is why I'd never preorder a game for 80+ Dollars again
you're almost there... just drop the pricetag condition completely, and you'll do all right.

>>716254925
But if Sony didn't set the precedent for greed, games would still be $60 today.

>>716252238 (OP)
>look how generous we are!
>we lowered the price from obnoxiously high to ridiculously high!
lmao what a bunch of retards

>>716252660
Think the last game I bought day one release was Trials of Mana.
Would've done it with P3Reloaded but they slapped a $70 price tag so I waited for it to be 50% instead.

>>716252660
I prebought Starfield too. Only time I ever done it, last time I ever will. Thanks for the lesson Todd.

>>716252238 (OP)
>$70
LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

>>716252238 (OP)
this shit is going to flop hard
the first game lost all his hype as the nu-fallout after people actually played the game and shit was mid af

>>716252238 (OP)
SAAR dis is gud news now I can prree order the latest edition for much lower price!

Last one was 40 I bought it for 5

>drop the price
>majority of people even your own fans are still saying it's too high
LMAO

>>716252238 (OP)
is this thread going the way you wanted, Marketer-kun

>>716252238 (OP)
Oh boi what youtuber is going to report this slop news as a "WIN" ugh

>>716252238 (OP)
so the preorders were that bad huh
not sure $10 is enough to save this shit

Thank you Christ Benoit

>>716252238 (OP)
TAKING ALL BETS WHOSE GONNA FLOP HARDER
OUTERWORLDS 2 OR BORDERLANDS 4!!?

>>716252238 (OP)
Why did Gamers settle for $70 and not anything lower, say $40?

>>716259989
BL4 still has it fans.
Outerworlds however... Does anyone out there have the first game as their favorite of all time?

>>716252238 (OP)
So now we have to be happy that games will be costing "only" 70 trumpbux?

>>716252384
Games won. We did it reddit.

>>716259989
nigga borderlands 3 literally sold 20 million copies
you are retarded if you think bl4 is going to flop...

>>716252238 (OP)
>had to talk to [REDACTED] to change the price
what did they mean by this?

>>716260197
This started before cheeto man was in office, stooopid.

>>716259989
that's kinda hard to choose
BL3 caused a lot of fans to hate the series
but Outer World 1 was dog shit way to start a series
Outerworld 2 is gonna flop harder since people will give gearbox one more chance

>>716252384
I never pay more than 20 bucks for a computer game anyway

>>716252384
only mouth-drolling retarded niggerfaggot trannies buy games full priced at release, let alone pre-order

Considering how garbage the first was, I wouldn't play it even for free

>>716260227
How old is BL3?plus weird you bring up BL3 sells when tiny tinas wonderland is the newest installment...

>>716260265
I didn't say it happened only on Orange's term.

Who the hell is even excited for OW2?

The first game was a fucking slog to play. Completely boring and lifeless. Its just going to be Starfield all over again

>>716252384
the worst part:
>paying $70 for a current day Obsidian game
loving every laugh

>>716259405
The answer to all of those quotes is "yes and thats a good thing"
Law of the jungle is eternal

Funny to see people accept $70 games as standard as they complained about that price not too long ago. Also, they are still okay with the $20 extra charge of 5-days early access, huh? Sure, there are extra stuff with it but people are really okay with this new trend so easily, huh?

>>716259989
I find it hard to believe that Borderlands 4 would flop. Borderlands 3 sold gangbusters and it was a fucking EGS exclusive for six months and was the one success on EGS and then it came to Steam six months later and sold even more copies.

That being said, Tiny Tina's Wonderland did underperform if I remember correctly.

>>716260590
>when tiny tinas wonderland is the newest installment...
Because tiny tina is not a main borderlands game?
Fucking retard, just like people were not comparing BL3 to TPS but BL2...
>How old is BL3?
22m copies in 6 years is still impressive, but sure, the series that sold almost 100m copies is going to flop...this time for sure...

>>716260861
but only with certain normie games
GTA, COD, FIFA, MADDEN,
everything else eventually becomes 40 bucks or lower

>>716260861
I still only buy games with a 50% or more discount so nothing has changed for me.

>see garbage preorder numbers
>panic
>lower the price and pretend you're a heckin wholesome company listening to fans and doing them a favor
die already microsoft

>>716259007
I thought Starfield was okay, but to be fair I got it bundled for free with my 6700xt that was on sale for $300 at the time.

>>716259989
BL4 because its bigger and has alot of retard cope surrounding it.I doubt zoomers care about this brain dead franchise and millennials are phasing out of the FPS genre in general.A couple of million for outerworlds would be a success since its basically an indie game.

>>716252238 (OP)
Outer Worlds 1 was the very definition of mediocre game, and this one isn't looking any better. Anything over $30 is asking too much

>>716252469
>The preorders must have been abysmal.
I always assumed Pre-preorders were heavily backloaded because only diehard fans pre-order day 1. The day 1 pre-orders must not have even broken beyond 4 digits considering there's still three months to go till release.

>>716252384
Yeah, except no one's buying this, there would be no price slash in the first place.

>>716259405
The first statement is true and based, the rest are retarded. Why the fuck should society have a place for you if you're gonna do fuckall for it.

>>716262292
>there's still three months to go till release.
Yeah, it had to have been looking pretty brutal if they didn't even try to hold out til closer to launch.

>>716259989
BL4 will do well. OW2 got cucked by Shartfield being shit and Oblivion remake being recent and cheap

>>716252507
I have access to every Nintendo Switch game for free, and I haven't played a single one.

>>716259405
Per default, you deserve to not be killed, but expecting people around you to sacrifice themselves in order to sustain you is selfish to the point of retardation.

>>716259007
>>716252660
Spore taught me that games can be bad, and Starfield taught me to never preorder.

>>716259989
Microsoft is just going to pretend that a quadrillion people only renewed their gameass because Outer Worlds 2 was so great, even though it's completely dead everywhere you can check and nobody talks positively about it.

>>716263845
how did you end up pre-ordering starfield? the previews looked bad.

>>716252238 (OP)
Why would you pre-order this when you can pay $5 to try it for a month to see if you like it?

>Capitalism is....le bad. Buy our overpriced game to learn more.
People who sell shirts of Che have greater self-awareness

>>716259405
I agree with the last one, which is why I think everyone should be an enslaved farmer.

>>716252238 (OP)
Nintendo is still going to charge $80 for their S-Tier games. They’re also going to discontinue the MKW bundle for the holidays.

>>716259405
I'd never played FFT but all this time I saw people post that first quote, which is actually pretty clever, but goddamn do the next two completely devalue anything he fucking says. What a fucking tard.

>>716262220
I tried the first one on GP and instantly uninstalled when I slipped and fell into a gay side quest. The female companion asked for my help asking out a girl she had a crush on. You wanna eat carpet, go ahead. But do not make me an active participant.

>>716259989
BL4 will sell great, but if it's bad BL5 will flop. Dogshit writing aside (like that's new), BL3 is a fun video game, arguably better than BL2. As long as the gameplay is good then it'll be fine.
TOW was shit from top to bottom. I'd argue it actually has worse writing than BL3 because it's about on par but trying to take itself seriously. There's a perk tree but only two builds actually exist: ranged and melee. There's no incentive to specialize into anything. And then Obsidian got up their own ass about people liking dialogue checks in FNV and decided
>what if we made tons of those but they weren't tied to any actual skills, just the equivalent of Speech
and you can damn near walk through the entire game without fighting anything, even psychotic pirates who seem to respect consent and listen to reason.
TOW is possibly the worst non-shovelware game I've played to completion.

>>716264760

>>716252660
My first and last time was CoD: Ghosts, nowadays I won't even buy the game if it's over $20

>>716252757
Fuck no. Up until very recently it was $60.

>>716266130
*without DLC or Expansion pass

>>716252238 (OP)
>$70
Lmfaooooo

>>716266130
To be fair everything else is more expensive than it was in 2006. Publishers had the nerve to hike prices and still release unfinished games or games full of MTX.

I'm scared this is going to kill the studio. I just want a proper pillars 3 before microsoft inevitably shuts them down.

>the outer worlds 2
$4.99 during steam sale is the best i can do, and no i won't play it.

>>716266403
And people still buy it because your average video game consumer buys 1 game a year.
70 dollary doos ain't that bad in that hindset now is it?

>>716252238 (OP)
>artificial discount to the always intended price

I have yet to pay 70 bucks for a video game. I will continue to not pay 70 bucks for a video game. There's already enough to play, they can eat a dick. Also the first game was so fucking mid it hurts. Just painfully average in every way.

>>716266430
Nah. They'd just become the Grounded game studio. Maybe do a spinoff for Fallout but that's it. The teams that made Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2 will be fired.

>>716252238 (OP)
How long after launch until they kill off Obsidian? I really can't think they can bounce back with how bad they've been recently.

>>716267871
MS will only keep the Grounded team. So, unless they get to do a Fallout game, I don't see any reason to keep the rest of the team. They will be downsized.

It's funny to see people celebrate this when it's the most basic tactic of the anchoring effect. They made the price $80 at first to make you accept the price they wanted which was $70. They are still charging extra $20 for 5-days early access. This is like how people got tricked by Borderlands 4 thinking it was $80 before the announced $70 and prematurely celebrated that. But then they still are charging $130 premium deluxe edition and $150 collector's edition without the game. They didn't bend the knee. They merely moved on the next step of their marketing switch.

>>716252660
You deserved that, especially after seeing fucking Harriet Tubman in civ, but I am very happy you learned your lesson. Keep spreading the good word. Never preorder

>>716252660
That's why I pirated Starfield instead of waiting for gamepass, fuck "advanced access".

>>716252238 (OP)
Preorder numbers must look really dire.

>>716252238 (OP)
cool
still won't buy it

>>716252238 (OP)
lol, must've had like 5 preorders at $80 being day one gamepass.

>>716268432
>Game so bad their biggest shill went into a depression
Moral here is never make a job based on a singular video game series.

>>716252238 (OP)
Wake me up when it's below 25,
or don't, I skipped the first one, I'll probably skip this one too

Do you really think The fucking Outer Wilds 2 was ever going to be eighty dollars? This image was conceived by Microsoft from day one. Their plan was to slash the price all along. Now you find the seventy dollar price “acceptable.”

>>716268839
*Worlds. Fuck

>>716268751
Without even giving it much thought, I can name like four different people/series this has happened too in the past 5 years

>>716259989
Outerworlds 2 by a lot

Borderlands 4 will sell well, but have an insufferable story, as per usual.

>>716252660
>Both games "Starfield" and "Civilization VII" were both broken messes on launch, and not worth it.
Oof, same. We never learn. 2k/Firaxis employees should face a lottery, and whoever is drawn is slaughtered. I will only accept blood as an apology at this point.

Outerworlds ONLY message was "Capitalism is bad, but we are going to depict Captalism, as a Tyrannical Fascist Slave States and not actually have an Capitalism to speak of"

that was it, that was the whole game, they tell you its Capitalism, but.. everyone is a Slave to a "Corporation" which are just, in the end, Governments.. Dictatorial ones.

no one can buy products from other Companies, and all they are given is company scrip.. to buy their own Companies products, which they make.

how is anyone MAKING ANY FUCKING MONEY? the answer is, they aren't, because they are just Slave States

>>716260850
Then go back to the jungle and leave town, dumbass
