They will change their tune real fast when the trumpanzee tariffs destroy the economy and collapse the u.s supply chain

>I'm sorry baby I didn't mean to go balls deep in that other girl and you're right that's just too far...so I'll just put the tip in her next time for sure

>Company actually humbles itself, admits they were wrong, listens to customers, and does right by them
>/v/: "KWAB!"
????

so basically avowed showed them no one cares about obsidian games
this is like a game going on sale before its even out

>xbox contoversially
honestly, it's over, you just know that their every move will be picked apart in the minute details because it's just such an easy target to punch down on
phil is a massive retard and I can't believe he seriously convinced microsoft execs and investors to waste close to a $100bil. to shut down a bunch of studios and lay off people

blud thought they had nintendo pull

>70 bucks
>This is a drop
AAA slop goes straight to the garbage

I assume preorders were beyond awful for them to have to reverse the price increase.

>>716253592 (OP)
>Nintendo laughing in the background

>>716254245
IT'S OK WHEN NINTENDO DOES IT!!!!

>>716253592 (OP)
they saw the low preorders and panicked these fucking kikes

>>716254245
Not surprising that tendies will put up happily with everything daddy nintendo does to them.

>>716254669
I hate the big three equally and I hope to see them all leave videogames for good.
I hate Microsoft the most though, no one has done more damage to console gaming than those kikes.

>>716253592 (OP)
You reallize they litterally jingled keys in your face to distract you from the fact they're making games costing $70 the new norm right?

>>716254869
BUT DUDE, THE PRICE, ITS GONE DOWN, THEY'RE HELPING CONSUMERS!!!

>>716253592 (OP)
I still can't believe it has been 33 years since that sweltering summer of 1992, bros...

>>716253787
Companies always do this shit. They do something they know is shitty, and then walk it back to make themselves look like "good guys" when they do something slightly less shitty.

>>716255117
I want to go back

>>716255346
Create problem, sell the solution
Pretty typical corpo MO

>>716253787
You're such a cocksucker it's shameful. They're just temporarily caving because they doubt they'll get away with it.

>>716253592 (OP)
This is pretty funny but Karl Jobst still has KWABOTY on lock, sorry OP

>>716253592 (OP)
>lowers game price to $70
Lul ok

60 dollars, 70 dollars, 80 dollars
it doesn't matter when you can pump and dump gamepass after a month for a fraction of that price.

>>716253732
How many weeks for that to happen, again?

>>716253732
TWO MORE WEEEEEKS

$70 is still too high

>>716253592 (OP)
Based Microsoft

>>716256135
where is the one where shes laid off?

Obsidian was a big waste of money for Microsoft. They could have gotten anyone to shit out mediocre RPGs with pretentious writing. Some MS exec must have read /v/ a few too many times.

>>716253592 (OP)
>$80

Kek who do they think they are? Nintendo?

>>716254186
People who pre order buy the most expensive SKU available.
MS just saw the rest of the industry not follow Nintendo with $80 games and deciceded to stick with $70 for 2025.

>>716253592 (OP)
This was all planned to make gullible retards accept the $70 pricetag.

>>716254845
>I hate the big three equally
PCfags have become more and more insufferable with every passing day.

>>716253732
holy fuck the TDS
have you considered ending your own life via your canadian healthcare? there are ramdeep sukshits that need what you have stolen from first peoples by existing

>>716254245
Yea but you lot are the biggest cucks in the industry, of course you'd pay $80

>>716258528
>Getting upset because people dislike big corpos
You are such a sad sack of shit.

>>716254845
Based. Microshit have always been a blight

>>716258185
Jokes on them I'm not accepting $70 either, I already have plenty of games to play

>>716253592 (OP)
what the fuck kind of "chutzpah" makes this kike think we are playing the lesbo worlds 2 at all?

>>716258528

>>716259123
apparently the first game made a profit

>>716259123
All the retards who fell for the shilling claim that the Outer Worlds was "New Vegas in Space".

>>716253592 (OP)
I predict this game will bomb. The first game sold decently well because it had some hype behind it, and had the "FROM THE MAKERS OF [game]" effect, plus critics gave it great reviews because they only played the first planet. (the game mostly nosedives after that)
Anyone who played the first game knows how bad it was, and the sales of a sequel always depend on the quality of the previous game.

My guess is they thought
>oh the game sold well this is clearly a valuable IP
>we can give it a higher budget now
>and then price it higher to compensate
[five minutes later]
>preorders are in the single digits
>hit the "fuck go back" button
>preorders will still be in the single digits as $70 is still way too much

tl;dr it's Pillars of Eternity again but 3d this time

>>716253592 (OP)
>70
Fuck off Microsoft it should be 60.

>>716253592 (OP)
Still Tony

>>716259152
>>716259249
the first game tricked idiots into thinking it might be good and everyone dumb enough to play it said "man this game was trash"
now nobody is buying the second one it's that simple

>>716253808
I care

I'll buy Avowed when it comes out on PS5

>>716259806
Doubt it, plenty of retards liked that trash

>>716254845
>no one has done more damage to console gaming
Wtf I love Microsoft now

>>716253787
>some months later they try again to see if now it's acceptable (after finding a new excuse)

>>716259889
lol okay buddy we'll see lol
I'm sure david jaffe is going to suck it's dick on camera if he hasn't killed himself or died from the vax yet, but real consumers in any number that matters? lol

>>716259992
No one has ever done more damage to PC gaming as well.
They left it to die back in 2006-2007 after the GFWL push failed and the 360 raped the PS3 in sales.

>>716260081
It's being extremely advertised and has no competition in terms of space games.
It's going to sell, if enough to cover it's budget, I don't know, probably not due to Gamepass.

>>716260147
I'm an arcadenigger

>>716253732
Trump is a retard but that isn't going to happen. He knows enough (or at least is surrounded by people who know enough) that he will TACO yet again.

The rest of the world really should just say "fuck you" and ignore him.

>>716260287
>muh advertisements
you guys still haven't realized that they aren't working anymore?

>>716253592 (OP)
Make it $15 and I consider playing it for a bit after the garbage pile that was the outer worlds 2 they made

>>716253592 (OP)
I'm guessing their preorder sales weren't out of this world

>>716260996
I meant the first but spoiled it by accident

>>716261017
kek

>>716253787
>humbles itself
lmao
>admits they were wrong
didn't, nor did they apologize for being such greedy fucks. it would still be $80 if they thought they could get away with it.
>listens to customers
backpedaled after preorder sales were donkey dick
>and does right by them
you are less than dirt to microsoft. the only thing that matters to them is your money, and the only thing they "do right by" is their shareholders/bank accounts. Stop being a naive consoomer.

>>716253592 (OP)
It could be $29 and people would still not buy it because AVOWED AND THE OUTER WORLDS SUCK

>>716261698
exactly

>>716253592 (OP)
xbox is dead, they don't sell any games. so this is purely to damage sony, who do.

>>716255357
Damn looks like backstage assault was everywhere in the sweltering summer of 92

>>716253787
>>Company actually humbles itself
They're only doing this to somewhat try and break the absolute embarassment streak of being a dying platform, previously rising their prices AND having the single biggest mass layoffs in the industry, none of this is humbling, it's trying to look less inhumanly greedy and stupid

>>716254669
They actively defend it too.
>$80 for Mario Kart just to drive FOMO for Switch 2 bundles
>$85 for a Pro Controller, and they still don't have analog triggers or hall effect/TMR sticks
They larp as le heckin richfag elites to justify it, being a sad imitation of how PS5fags acted in 2020 (in turn being a sad imitation of the PC master race stereotype).

>>716255725
its literally happening right at this second kid

>>716261953
>it was real in my mind

>>716260516
I want it to fail bud, AAA is pure slop that deserves nothing bur scorn.
But I'm staying realistic.

>negotiates to $10 above what the consumer wanted
>makes them think it's a win

>>716253732
Loving every laugh, thanks bro

>>716253732
I still don't understand the point of these tariffs, it just make us pay more for everything but nothing really changes or improves at all. It's the most pointless shit ever.

>>716260506
>The rest of the world really should just say "fuck you" and ignore him.
We wish you would, but instead the rest of the world is either flooding our country with shitskins, hiding behind our military, or stealing our taxpayer dollars.

>>716253592 (OP)
still not buying a game for more than $60 (actualy never paid more than 15)

>>716253808
I would care if they went back to making actual rpgs instead of shit like this. I have no idea what possessed them to make a sequel to fucking outer worlds of all things. No one wants this and its probably going to kill the studio.

>>716253787
>leave the multi billion dollar megacorp alone!!!

>>716254536
Nintendo literally only has one $80 game, the rest are $70 or lower.

>>716253592 (OP)
...(You)!
Stop falling for this bullshit already

>>716253592 (OP)
bump

>>716253592 (OP)
Still Tony

>>716253592 (OP)
DOA

>hey guys we’re going to keep it at the price we increased it to
Is this supposed to be a joke?

>>716270343
>even twitterfags are waking up
this game is doomed

>Sorry we tried to scam you, we'll be more subtle next time
Is this a fucking joke?

>>716253732
He never actually did the tariffs. It was just market manipulation.

>>716265730
In the short term, it hurts US citizens, but it also buttfucks foreign exporters that we're buying from even more. So if whatever country wants to not get buttfucked, they have to bend their knee to the US

>>716253592 (OP)
They knew good and dawn well The Outer Worlds 2 was not a game people were going to pay $79.99 when Avowed was such a pile of shit.

>>716253732
Two more weeks

>>716261017
Shut up Carlos.

>>716253592 (OP)
wouldnt buy it for $20
first game was a joke
linear square levels
basically starfield alpha
anybody who bought this shit is a tranny new vegas fanboy who believed anybody who worked on new vegas worked on this steaming pile of shit
