>Marketing Fail
i have yet to see a single ad on the electrical jew
did they run out off shekels

It sold 140k copies on steam in 5 days, thats nothing. Last wolfenstein sold 1.8 Mio. The userratings on steam are also pretty bad at 69%, (((metacritic))) has it at 89%.

Also the steam forums for this look like Sup Forums.

That says U.K.

20 million copies is good

The only good thing to come out of that game:

>Last wolfenstein sold 1.8 Mio

in 5 days?

What are you talking about? Wolfenstein is doing better than its 2 predecessors combined.

lol no

They are going to pay for desecrating an American flag like this.

lol yes, are you suprised or what?

are you claiming more people are playing it now? of course it's more popular than a 3 year old game. also it's like 20th on Steam so where are your numbers from since you aren't using any

its doing better sales on launch, and yes, since is halloween sale it isnt selling as much as gta or something

Just looked up who owns the studio (ZeniMax) and unsurprisingly its one of (((them))) ... founder and still CEO. He also publicly endorsed hillary and obama. Goddamnit they own alot of the good studios ...

Youre actually right, apparently the last one only sold 40k in the first weekend on pc, 360k on all platforms. Does anyone know the marketing budget?

stop being retarded

retail sold around 800k copies in the release week across all platforms
add the digital sells and you might get their

*there

Bethesda didn't make Wolfenstein, they're the publisher.

I've seen a few on scyfy in the US

Hans, they're not selling it in Germany AFAIK

You are wrong, actually. Wolfenstein was a great marketing success. It is a dying genre, and they still managed to sell well - the last singleplayer FPS that did, probably.

They misread the market and should suffer for making a $60 vida movie mash up where only 4 of the 12 hours is gameplay.

The bad reviews are because of bugs, not because it's anti-white.

>Sales down 60% on TNO despite nearly 3 times the install base

Fucking KEK

...

They are Jew--with modifications to remove swastica and so on. How do you not know this? You made the game!

...

iThis game has sold less than 150k copies.This game is an AAA title which means the budget was around 70-100 million $.To reach the target of 100 millions the game should have sale at least 500k copies in the first 3-4 days looool

Don't mention the current players are less than 20k players hahahahaah

Thats why OP calls it a marketing fail.

How about STOP MAKING GAMES KILLING THE GOOD GUYS. Or at the very least give us a choice to ally with whatever political faction we want (fnv is an example)

Thanks.

>this game hurts Sup Forums so much

ridiculous you whiny pussies
i know no other group that gets full crybaby so easily

This, it's only out a few days and has hundreds of thousands of buys. It will break 6 million.

This. OP stop associating poor Bethesda Game Studios with this crap game.

Yeah they are it's just censored. I've seen an ad on TV too.

>nazis
>good guys

nice edges, kid
also, you will never get such a game because Sup Forumstards, people like you are worthless crybabies who can't do shit but complain and pretend to be nazi in anonymous forum

>retail sold around 800k copies in the release week across all platforms
sold or shipped? that's a big question when it comes to physical copies, the steam numbers are very telling

there is a German Version on steam shlomo
see store.steampowered.com/app/650500/Wolfenstein_II_The_New_Colossus/
i suppose they replaced the swastikas with iron crosses to get a FSK approval as with all previous games
the reviews are even worse than for the original because space monkeys

>I've seen an ad on TV too
source?
i'm all in for a good cringe

It's getting it's shit completely pushed in by Mario.

Your precious anti-Nazi floater of a political statement got completely destroyed by a culturally appropriating Italian stereotype.

its not the game that pisses me off its trying to use the political climate as a marketing tool. the game is shit coincidentally.

pfff
>you will never get such a game
The game is trash.
But the joy is torrenting it 24/7 at full speed.

They're all the same.

It is sold in germany (on steam) but heavily censored. Hitler renamed, no swastikas etc also the synchro is godawful and you cant choose the english one.

how can you say that without knowing the production cost/ marketing budget? We dont even have console sales so far ... but yeah it actually could have sold a lot since steam sales arent even too bad. (140K in 5 days vs AssCreed 190k in 4 days)

Obviosuly if you are aware of the political propaganda in the game you wont buy it and wont review it. look in the forums.

good one. you dont know anything about game sales.

no, the game is a very good and quick shooter, much like DOOM 4 but with nazis instead of demons
it's trash for crybabies like you who got upset because they saw a nigger
grow up kid

Because BING BING YAHOOOO is actually a good game without being insulting to anyone who actually plays vidya.

Make Wolfenstein but like Fallout so you can join the Nazis or the KKK
That is all.

The depraved and disgusting attack us, the evil of hollywood is our most vehement critic.

Observe what despises us to find out our nature. Evil hates good. We wished to save our world from jewish sadism. Don't fall into their trap of demonizing us.

We made mistakes, but we are with all whites, poles included. We are brothers, remember what we are.

>nudoom is good

Such a shame they took this horrible path.

Return To Castle Wolfenstein (2001) was and still is one of my most favorite games of all time, both the single player and multiplayer. They really gutted my childhood with this SJW cringe fest bullshit.

>never get such a game
We got red orchestra.

VEGA in Doom 4 didn't act like a total wench bitching at my ethnicy every single time it opened its mouth.

I played the original wolfstein without hair in my balls, go be condescending with another idiot like you.
And the game is shit, the same way Doom4 is trash. Boring, monotonous trash.

This. It has a decent story, so obviously it's not Bethesda. It's a very well made game - the graphics are solid, the gameplay solid, it's well written, and there are some plot twists that are surprising but good. They go places few games would. It;s Machine Games, a Swedish company, they made Wolfenstein:The New Order and W: The New Blood, so they know the franchise pretty well. Plus, they used the same engine as Doom. And yeah, there are bigs, but not as bad as the ones Bethesda Studio ships.

The only thing with this game is replayability. There's stuff for completionists, but once you've done the story, there's no real need to go back, you'd just be searching in corners for shit. Unless they release some good DLCs for it, I don't see any reason to replay it. Some people are blowing through it in 5-6 hours, that's a problem for a game at this price.

Still, great game. I enjoyed it. The whole feel was spot on, never once did I think "Oh, bullshit!" or think they'd gotten anything wrong.

Lmao it's doing fine, but you guys are eternally butt blasted.

Suck sees nuts

If they had produced a pro-trumpenfuhrer game it would've sold buckets

How long do you think liberals will try to swim up river before they economically tire themselves out and give up? Do you think they'll ever realize that the safest bet is to stay politically neutral and that you should only introduce political messaging if you've got a good grasp on the grassroots trends and actual competent people in marketing?

t. Jew or antifa-ggot

We need to start making our own games. I dont care if you use RPG Maker 2000 to make an ironic right wing meme game. Just do something

>I dont care if you use RPG Maker 2000 to make an ironic right wing meme game
nope nope, anything but that

>source?
>i'm all in for a good cringe
It was Pro7 I think. Not a normal ad, an announcement for some event with Gronkh.

>Hitler renamed
>can't choose English synchro
WTF

Remember those guys that created Hatred? they alse created a Game about Killing Rapefugees.

t. mexican shitskin Juan Pedro Ortiz praising nazis and pretending to be white

TFW incel wannabe nationalist get btfod daily and can only find comfort in chans reddit and Twitter.

SAD!

>Against Nazism
>Racist

Looks like its a Jew that Doesnt want Open Borders of Israel.

there is one game called "Bad Goyim Simulator"
and there was another game called "Angry Goy"

both are pixel shooters but pretty good
and they're funny, a lot of humor

Only weak minded liberals need refuge

So is your pic related supposed to be a selfie of you or what? You do realize that cunt is a Polish coal burner right, you fucking cuck?

>only liberals need refugees
> definitely posts almost exclusively on echo chamber hug boxes

Rly activates the almonds

Did they actually sell poorly?

>Pro7
haven't watched the channel for over a year

Doom 4 was fantastic, this game is pure fucking trash. Apples and oranges.

That game was made by a cool socialist developer.

Enjoy comrade!!

>well written
>0.02$ has been deposited into your account, thank you for working with Bethesda and Machinegames

The protagonists are the worst part about the game. They're insufferable, racist, flat out assholes, or combinations of the three. The Nazi's are cartoonishly fun to hate, but they always were. Putting that on your MC's and whom you have to take orders from taints (what little there is of) the rest of the game. HEY LISTEN became HEY WIBOY.

>hugbox

Nope. Unlike Reddit, Sup Forums doesnt ban users for disagreeing with the current sentiment. Learn what a fucking hugbox is you stupid newfag.

I'll tell you why I hate this game.

Its 40 bucks for 10 hours of content, no multiplayer and lackluster story.

It has NO graphical improvements over the first, NO improvements to gameplay and absolutely NO replayability and NO ability to modify it.

This isn't a sequel, its not even an expac. Its a goddamn piece of overpriced overdue DLC.

Now take a look at XCOM 2: War of the Chosen, for example. You get a game with huge improvements to the gameplay, bugfixes, content and balance adjustments AND workshop support with endless replayability. THAT is how you do games.

how did it go so wrong? bethesda used to be the best dev by far

rockstar are still good

It's hard to say for sure without solid data, but release week sales are usually 50%+ total sales and often like 70%+ (exceptions to this rule tend to be good games with poor/no marketing which grow/explode from word-of-mouth)

Shitty games with good marketing get high release week sales, but trash long-tail sales (long tail refers to a statistical distribution curve I'm sure you can google it) because word-of-mouth spreads that the game is shit.

Shitty games with bad marketing get shit release week sales AND shit long-tail sales. This is where Wolfenstein 2 seems to fit in.

If the last Wolfenstein game sold ~800k copies in the first week, and Wolfenstein 2 has sold ~150k in the first week by comparison, then you could argue that their pro-communism, pro-antifa, absurdist lefty-messaging marketing attempt has actually cut their sales by at least 80%. That's remarkable to be honest.

How many more games and movies have to go through this before the developers and publishers finally realize that games are played by cishet white men, and that alienating them isn't conducive to making money?

Hey maybe if they throw another few million dollars at a second "GAMERS ARE DEAD" propaganda bonanza, they'll finally convince women and minorities to play videogames?

P.S. If you're a lefty and reading this post, it should be a wakeup call (desu Trump should've been that already). You don't actually have popular support, you only think you do because of the heavy-handed reinforced messaging you see in your twitter/facebook (echo chambers), and the mainstream media. Being lefty isn't hip and cool, it's a forced message campaign pushed by out-of-touch media conglomerates and marketers.

see
and .

they swim economically upstream because the goal isn't money but power.

That looks cool desu.

Zenimax has NEVER been a good publisher.
I encourage you to look up and investigate their behavior. They are worse than Activision/EA tier.

Bethesda by the way, is an awful company. They take on the same kind of money-grubbing, spend-a-dollar-to-save-a-dime culture that infests their parent company. Have you ever wondered why Oblivion and Skyrim are so buggy? It's not just because of the engine - Bethesda is a well-known gamedev mill where graduates go to get their first taste of game development before moving on to better development studios.

That's why everything is amateurish and often out-done by modders: Their staff is full of young college grads with no experience and little understanding of what they're actually doing.

They forgot that marketing alone doesn't sell games, especially if the marketing has shit all to do with the actual game and is just politics baiting.

It definitely gives you a good hook to haul potential customers inboard, but once you have their attention you still need to provide an actually at least somewhat interesting game.
Wolfenstein completely failed on that front. It's why every thread about it is nothing but politics shitposting from beginning to end, because there's simply nothing else with regards to that game that would be worth talking about.

I would buy it if I could hunt down Jews instead, who are actually the bad guys.

>WTF
Laws. Video games are neither considered to be art nor educational material so they have restrictions on displaying Nazi insignia and so on.

Viral marketing aside, it's not good game. I really enjoyed TNO and OB, but this one kinda sucks. I played it for some time now (got the body transplant), but still can't put my finger on what is off exactly. It's not new and colorful (read beaten to death caricatural stereotypes) cast. And it's definitely not the enemies you shoot.
Shooting is the same (don't really mix weapons, two ARs and two shotties still rule), Levels feel more linear and smaller. Enemies pretty much the same, but now there are more drones and Big Guys 4U appear more often (though they die really quick). Nazi terminators are new, but they die all the same.
I guess it's just two games, good, but with little variation were enough, but the third one is an overkill. Something a talentless hack would do.

Uh-huh, can't wait for RDR2: Online Boogaloo. Pre-order Shark Cards now!

>newfag

Ive been on this since since habbo hotel was new. No one cares welcome to the shit show

>Uh-huh, can't wait for RDR2: Online Boogaloo. Pre-order Shark Cards now!
atleast rockstar isnt pushing propaganda into our faces

You know that one of Zenimax board of directors is actually Trump's brother, yeah?

ayo hol up WE be savin the us and a from nazis, the civvie whiteys gave up long ago shieeet

Doom

You stupid shill

Pooland has the greatest cucks, believe me.

Sonic Mania failed? I heard it was a success among fans and game journos.

Mario is the epitome of what most people look for in a video game. It's story is there as an excuse for the gameplay and not to push some kind of agenda, and the game is simple enough that you can start playing right away without a 2 hours tutorial while still having a fairly high mastery cap.

Where do you think you are? Faggot.

i was planning on buying when I first heard of it but as soon as the commie anti white stuff showed i was NOPE.JPEG.. never ever will buy

people liked it but it didnt sell that many copies.

re-releases of old sonic games have sold way more.

Money doesn't matter. (((They))) will ensure an infinate supply of fiat goybucks for these companies.
