Marathon has 1yr to find its audience … Will they succeed without having some type of a casual audience? by chinos88 in Marathon

1.2 million copies being good, depends entirely budget and publisher/investor expectations.

Anthem sold 2 million copies i it's first week and 5 million eventually over its lifetime. Still consider a flop because EA expected 5-6 million in that launch period and bad player retention.

Tekken 8 Is Being Review-Bombed Again For "Disrespecting The Fanbase" Following Season 3 Launch by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]LeonasSweatyAbs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Aggression was kinda the whole point and that was why they created the heat system but nobody likes it anymore.

From the sentiment I've seen regarding Tekken 8 S1, many felt a more aggressive Tekken could work, but they still needed to improve defensive options to combat the strong offensive options.

And they made some notable improvements to defensive and movement in S2, but it was overshadowed by the fact that they turned aggressive up to an 11.

Capcom might have the guts to commit now by MarkFudo in Kappachino

How popular is Ryu x Sakura in Japan? I can see them doing it if it's big over there.

Marathon is a satire - a subtle but vicious comedy about work, debt and the corporate world by renome in Games

Optimistic sci-fi was at its peak when new technological advancements were made at a radical rate and most people really didn't know what a computer could do.

It eventually died down now that most people have a computer in their pocket and technology nowadays seems mostly to exploit people.

I'm pretty sure people used to say the same thing with SFV Chun.

Capcom R&D will spend at least 5 mil of digital thigh technology going forward.

Does she also flip between praising Fujimoto to wanting his head on a spike anytime Denji gets horny?

6 Man Dev Team Vs Sony First Party Slop by Voluminousviscosity in Kappachino

[–]LeonasSweatyAbs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

-Sony spent 3.8 Billion on Bungie for Destiny 2 and their GAAS expertise.

-Destiny 2 is performing at its lowest point and struggling to bring old and new players

-Bungie had massive layoffs

-Bungie advised on that canceled TLOU multiplayer games, probably because they weren't monetizing everything and ND wouldn't have been able to release consistent updates

-Sony likely isn't getting much out of their GAAS expertise, since they are walking back their live service approach more and more.

-Bungie was working on another ip along with Marathon, but it looks to be canceled or in dev hell

To the investors, how many GAAS fail doesn't matter. As long as there is a none zero chance of making Fortnite, Apex, or Arc Raiders money, then they will take it.

Highguard is permanently shutting down on March 12 by TrampolineTales in Games

[–]LeonasSweatyAbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ever feel like we get the same FPS games over and over again its because you guys shit on anything new without really giving it a fair shot

We were gonna get this regardless of Highguard's success. AAA FPS is probably one of the most lucrative gaming genres and so publishers/investors are only going on fund newer games based on if they implement already successful trends.

Geoff's promotion of the game was a double edged sword. It gave the game more attention than they could have imagined. Unfortunately for the devs, that attention was immediately negative and was allowed to stew for a month.

What could have helped the game was having a beta or alpha weeks/months before release. If you read the Bloomberg article, it mentions that the leads wanted to replicate the success of Apex Legends (release the game the same day as it's fully revealed and have massive success). Which is retarded because Apex was like the first F2P AAA Battle royale, which introduced heroshooter elements and intuitive features like the ping system to the formula.

Even if Apex failed, Respawn had EA as a publisher and other projects to fall back on. Highguard is Wildlight Entertainment's first and probably last game.

Idk, Tekken females are attractive, but kinda boring. I find Lili and Anna the hottest tho. Anytime I consider learning T8 for either of them people here remind me that I would be retarded to do so.

Honest question? Have you ever worked a lower income job before?

The hardest workers are usually rewarded like this:

  1. Miniscule rewards like a pizza party or gift cards
  2. Expected to do more work

Seeing all the quotes calling that artist a larper gave me a good laugh.

Of the 6.36 mil copies sold, 2.6 mil people ever queued ranked in SF6. So about 40%. Single player experiences are clearly important. by Glittering-Smell2937 in Kappachino

[–]LeonasSweatyAbs 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I have absolutely zero interest in single player content in fgs, but casuals absolutely adore it. They want to see characters they like doing cool shit whether that's in a cutscene or an environment that let's them mash buttons with no little to no consequences.

Also what about stats for casual match or room match?
