Bleh.

No? They are bankrolling their failed single-player RPGs with Grounded, similar to what Bioware was doing with SWTOR (before EA caught on and took it away from them).

>>718832661 (OP)
They tried charging 80$ for this? No wonder it got a price cut what are these designs?

>>718832661 (OP)
must be nice having infinite money by being in microshits pocket. you dont have to fear failure and just produce ideological trash all day long

No? Microsoft has infinite money and loves funding woke shit

enlighten us how constantly losing money by trying to force identity politics down people throat is actually good for the business

>>718832661 (OP)
considering they've been putting up shit games since forever and are still alive i doubt it

>>718833214
>They tried charging 80$ for this?
Ikr, I'd pay at least $100.

>>718833214
I wouldnt get this shit for free, no clue what the hell they were thinking with that price point. Its not like the first one was a raving success and everyone was clamoring for more

Genuine question. What the fuck are niggers doing in space to begin with? There is nobody to rob and rape there.

Doubt it, look at pirahna bytes, they released one good game which was original gothic, one mid game which was gothic 2 and for 23 years they made one shit game after another. And they weren't funded by microsoft and had less soigoy fans.

>>718832661 (OP)
are there really people who look at these characters and are like "yeah i want to learn their stories and do their personal gay drama quests"?

>>718832661 (OP)
Say what you want about the Veilguard companions, at least they look better than this

>>718834630
I liked the risen series, all 3 of them. Could never get into elex though, the aesthetics of that game just repelled me and i heard the 2nd one was dog shit

>>718832661 (OP)
Why are they all brown?

>>718833710
They don't do that and you're schizophrenic and you have a persecution complex so you invent completely irrational behaviours to justify it.

That trailer for companions was like an anti-trailer. It made me want the game less and the writing seems so fucking out of date.

>>718833089
right? even avowed had an alien

>>718832661 (OP)

>>718834929
Fuck off, shill.

>>718833710
You aren't the target consumer
Their (((investors))) are the client. The game is not the product, THE MESSAGE is the product.

>>718835052
This and the Pillars setting should've stayed in the previous decade

>>718834625
Not to mention it's completely unrealistic that humanity would get off of earth and into space anyways, as the presence of browns suggest the continued presence of THEM, which by itself wholly precludes the required state of civilizational unity that is required for space colonization in the first place.

>>718834884
I don't know what was going on in piranha bytes but whoever thought Elex setting was a good idea may have been singlehandedly responsible for company death. If they just released another fantasy janky slop i could even buy it and play it. But with that weird ass clusterfuck of a world and lore I didn't even bother to pirate it

>>718833260
Wasn't the CEO at the Trump inaugeration?
They're playing both sides.

>>718832661 (OP)

Brazen post after devs have been posting on their personal Twitters for years saying they do just that. This is the /v/ version of "It wasn't me".

Hopefully

>>718832661 (OP)
The gunplay looks kinda cool. I might pirate it and try it out. The first game was ok gameplay wise it's just the story and characters that sucked . Also I wonder if it will get mods this time around

>>718835541
Trump liked Nadella years ago because he could cuck Bezos out of government contracts by giving them to MS. Bezos got so butt mad that he spent millions suing the government because they turned down the AWS offer. No idea what it's like now, Bezos got friendly with Trump by blasting the WaPo staff in their own paper, telling them to find a cure for their TDS or quit. Nadella seems exhausted on a personal level and probably just wants to complete his personal quest to bring as many Indians to America as possible to fuel his own presidential campaign.

>>718836065
>The gunplay looks kinda cool
No it doesn't

>>718833214
>what are these designs
looks like Concord to me
one of them is probably trans too

Sony niggers really are foaming from the mouth seething at Obsidian of all things. A studio that actually releases many games at a reasonable budget and of good quality.

>>718832661 (OP)
I don't get why western developers are so obsessed with this particular brand of ugliness. Even with those retarded ass outfit designs, the least you could do is make the cast not look so fucking ugly. Nobody here looks cool or pretty, they're all fucking gross to look at. I don't get it, man.

Grounded 2 sold very well
Maybe Microsoft forces them to make more like that and less like this, but I wouldn't bet on it

>>718832661 (OP)
I actually really liked the first one, but those designs do not inspire confidence

>>718835860
>Fallout 3 not even on the list
What do, saars?

>>718836339
They don't look that different from the first game. Are you lying about having played it ?

>>718836119
Yes it does.

>>718832661 (OP)
No
MSFT paid $70b+ for ActiBlizzZeniBeth and got pitifully little in return. Redguard and Starfield are the highest profile games since then, lmao, and everything else is AAA budget development hell no release date on the horizon. MSFT bought Obsidian for less than 1/1000 of that price and gets something new every quarter, on well managed AA budgets. Eventually patience will run out and Microsoft will just send all of ABK into the IP graveyard.

>>718836379
They are similar, but somehow uglier and browner

>>718836493
>and got pitifully little in return.
The mobile games division of Activision blizzard makes enough profit to pay for the acquisition tenfold. Also call of duty. It was worth it the studio runs on auto pilot printing money from those two things alone

>xboxcuck trying to console war
Xbox is dead, let it go already.

>>718836351
Now that you've mentioned it, I should've included it. I didn't include it initially because sane people play FO3 through TTW, ironically enough.

But its vanilla 24 hours peak is STILL higher than Outer Worlds and Avowed LMAO. Here you go senpai.

>>718836584
The entire pre-merger ABK had an EBITA of $0.6 to $2.9b, so MSFT is looking at about 30 years to break even in pre-inflation dollars. They absolutely need new games coming out to make it make financial sense.

>>718832661 (OP)
Is this outerflops 2?

>>718837202
Also I didn't include Oblivion demake since it's still new (despite massive drop off) and it wouldn't be fair to other older open world games on the list.

But I should've included vanilla Oblivion and even Morrowind because even they mog Obshittian garbage lol. Morrowind much more so but everyone plays it through OpenMW so it can't be tracked.

>>718832661 (OP)
Are these characters from the Concord new season pass?

>>718832661 (OP)
Nah, they recouped development costs with the DEI funding.

>>718837202
>>718837534
Those Fallout 3, Oblivion and Morrowind are today's numbers. Here's Avowed and OW for today. Even worse lol

Starfield and now this why cant niggas just make a capital S SCI-FI GAME? No one gives a FUCK about hard scifi or whatever its called, youre not cool or interesting for doing it

>>718832661 (OP)

Unironically what is going through their heads when they design these characters and think people will want to play and interact with them.

They look like a crowd of people when you see coming you cross the street. None of them look appealing even in an "outsider" way. It looks like an entire crew of characters that would be the last pick for a crewmember if given a normal selection.

Atrocious.

>>718834641
Yes

>>718835052
I might be out of the loop but "anti-trailer" should be a term, if it already isn't.

Perfectly describes what these clueless companies are putting out based on misleading social media metrics.

>>718834630
>and for 23 years they made shitty gothic clones
ftfy

Obsidian put 0 effort into their games, just constantly shitting out these bad to mediocre titles

Even if i ignore how ugly these things are, what kind of retarded shit are those googles on its head?

>extremely generic characters
>no white man
its bigly over for obsidian

>>718838571
Always have. There's a reason why the only 3 good games they made were when they were using other people's shit.

It’s funny how much Mass Effect did with a couple of Star Trek forehead of the week characters plus a handful of actual aliens. It felt much more alive and fun than these snoozers.

On the contrary, 24hr peak is essential for big replayable open world RPGs. It shows the prolonged interest of the install bases, modding communities, staying power and "shelf life".

I frequently post all time peaks too but all time CCU is only useful for showcasing hype at release date and therefore the most profitable window. Useful of course but not the topic at hand.

at this stage just let the zoomers take over, millennials are a lost generation

I only just realized the thing in the center is supposed to have a robotic arm. Why's a space arab need military hardware from the Revoutionary War on his shoulders? What even is the bitch in the center right wearing? Who thought the female arab on the far left was good design? Why'd anybody believe an ugly yellow sash somehow works against black and red on the dyke cut on the far right?

Starfield 2 is finally here, boys.

this place is so misinformed about games. obsidian is more successful than ever thanks to Grounded making them shit ton of money. They aren't going anywhere.

>CP2077 still gets 50-60k concurrent players daily after 4.5 years
That's actually pretty good for a single player game.

>>718846048
It's a pretty good game despite them convincing themselves and their investors that it could run on old gen consoles or that it was anywhere near ready when released.

First game was okay, the companions were the weakest part of the game. Probably the same thing with the second game.

>>718846048
Shitflix anime saved them also they keep marketing every single patch with livestreams and journalists. So it spikes even when the patches themselves are dogshit that adds 2 cars, new bugs and destroys mods.

>>718846118
>consoles
Kurwa grift. The game is utter dogshit on PC too and it has no advanced features that require a PS5. It had no police chase system that PS2 games used to have and it doesn't even have player reflection.

>>718846530
>A company actively marketing its product
Oh no, how dare they.

>>718832661 (OP)
>mock fans in latest trailer for wanting meaningful romance subplots in their games
I will no longer buy your game. Not because of the lack of them, but for the mocking.

>>718846530
>Shitflix anime saved them
But the anime was trash

>>718847436
Sure. But the Chinese loved it. Even added anime references to the Chinese dub of the game.

>>718847639
The Chinese are like 30% of the playerbase. It used to be lower.

Avowed was good and the ragebaiters were wrong. Simple as.

Unfortunately for all pf us grounded is actually good.
I have no idea how they release a banger like that while also producing this absolute dogshit, but I will be ignoring this one.

>>718848031
>>718848389
Avowed wasn't that bad, but it took like until the second half of the second zone to get interesting

>>718845603
That's a dude?

>>718848857
"not that bad"

the director/writer is a white woman married to a pajeet that writes romance novels about white women courting brown men. I'm sure the writing in the game is about netflix quality but considering netflix is unwatchable trash for brown people I have to wonder about your taste

>>718833089

OOF

even slopfield have fewer ugly people. are game studio recruiters blind or something? does dardevil recruit the western devs? kek

>>718845798
Literally who is playing grounded I never see anyone talk about it and I don't know anyone who has played it

>>718849380
Starfield was anti woke which is why it's so successful, nobody cares to play wokeslop like outer worlds 2.

>>718849419
>who is playing grounded
streamers

>>718849419
No kidding, it's meant to be play with friends and you don't have any.

>>718848000
Avowed did a lot of things right. I really like how much your companions chat by the fire, they wrote a shit ton of dialog. Really weird none of that seems present in Outer Worlds 2

>>718836275
them being ugly is the whole point

>>718849537
>it's meant to be play with friends
so it's shit by design

>tries to charge $80 for The Outer Worlds 2
>pre-orders are so bad that they drop the price to $70
Obsidian seemed to have forgotten that the only reason people bought the first Outer Worlds game was because it was advertised as the next Fallout: New Vegas. After The Outer Worlds 2 flops, I expect most of Obsidian to be laid off and the remaining devs will be only allowed to make multiplayer games like Sea of Thieves and the Grounded series.

Daily reminder white people are a tiny percentage of the population and continue to shrink

or was it approved three years ago before trump won

>>718850047
>or was it approved three years ago before trump won
This shouldn’t matter. The entire series has always been a terrible idea.
The first one only sold because of the entire “from the makers of Fallout: New Vegas” thing.
Anyone who played it knows it was blatantly unfinished and will most likely not buy a sequel, but here we are.

>>718835860
>oldrim has 1.5k players
who are they?

>>718832661 (OP)

They just made a shitload of money with Grounded 2, they are never dying, let alone Avowed broke even.

>>718832661 (OP)
Is the idea that they somehow invest into these companies, force DEI changes, and purchase the IP at a reduced rate, less than it would have cost for them to buy it before wrecking the franchise? That has to be it right? No way someone made this on purpose?

>>718850325
Japs with super rare waifu mods that were never ported

also waifufags in general because taking screenshots is still better on Oldrim due to superior ENB

>>718850574
I don’t think Obsidian own any IPs that are particularly valuable in the first place though.

>>718849419
I talk about it all the time, you’re just not paying attention.

>>718849610
I can see some of passion in Avowed compared to a lot of the other recent flops in memory, but you can't really out-talent a bad idea. I'm more sad it did poorly than I am for other games in recent memory

>>718849621
I don’t have friends but I still have over 500 hours in it solo. Its a good game.

The unfortunate reality is that this is just the prevailing corporate culture across the entire western world.
Every corporate office is like this. Why? Because its inoffensive to women. All of this makes sense when you take into consideration the retarded fucking bullshit women busy their worthless minds with. Its why none of this was an issue when only men were in the workforce. Now its filled with bitches that cry and throw a fit when someone sats the faggot word, so now we all get to experience the inverse social order where the entire globe is padded out for stupid narcissistic cunts.
It was engineered this way by jews by the way. They all deserve to be burned alive.

>>718833089
Most of them are clearly aliens

>>718833089
Yeah, like genuinely, how the fuck is Fallout 3/NV feels more "alien" than a sci fi space setting? It's the same shit with Starfield. They take the most boring parts of the genre and leave out all the cool parts. What the fuck is this plague of dogshit writers with no imagination? You can make any cool and weird shit and you come up with absolute snoozefests like "nasa punk" or OW.

>>718832661 (OP)
Literally none of these people look interesting

>>718849749
who will you leech off when they're gone?

>>718853167

The only people who'd hire these freaks are other freaks like them.
And then people are surprised "chuds" root for these companies to burn down in to the ground.

Why does this game's look and tone feel even worse than the first game, which already felt like it was trying too hard?

>>718832661 (OP)
I think their strategy of churning out shit really quickly will keep them alive for a while, because Microsoft is really trying to make gamepass work and needs all the filler they can get.
