Why did it flop, bros?

Why did it flop, bros?

Are you serious?

It's not even out yet, how can you call it a failure?

I wouldn't call that a flop just yet. You've gotta wait for all the people who are going to buy the complete edition of the game for sixty dollars.

I really don't know what they were thinking making Hitman episodic.

It's not an interactive movie or barren open world collectathon

This. I'm not touching that shit until it's a full game.

I'd imagine there's a lot of people who think the same way.

I wonder how much they need to sell to break even. Probably a couple of million, AAA is fucking expensive.

I don't know whats supposed to be so bad about hitman being an episodic game.
Sure, maybe you dislike episodic games in principle, but why shouldn't hitman work as an episodic game?

im guessing it sold more on consoles. also why the fuck did they make it episodic? its the most retarded shit ever

Because maybe people don't want to wait months and months before they can play the full game?

Because maybe they should have just taken the time to fucking complete the game and release it instead of releasing it piecemeal over the course of a fucking year?

PC is different than consoles. Not all AAA games sell well, sometimes indies sell millions.

Terrible launch

>Because maybe people don't want to wait months and months before they can play the full game?
Well, then just buy it when it is finished.

If it would have taken them a year to finish the content and release the full game, I don't really see the difference.
People who want to play now can buy episodes, everyone else can wait for what would hace been the release date anyways but with episodic players evaluating it.

It sounds like it's all been high quality so far. Literally everyone wins.

Because life isn't fair. Blood Money didn't sell particularly well either.

>but why shouldn't hitman work as an episodic game?

Depends on how you like to play Hitman. I personally like to finish a level, then move onto the next one until I've finished the game.

My concept of 'replayability is playing through the entire game multiple times over the years, not just playing the same level over and over in a short time span.

It's like the entire thing is designed for autistic achievement hunter type gamers, and if you're not one of them then you're basically paying like £10 for like an hour's worth of gameplay then just going back to waiting for the next one

>I don't really see the difference.
You have no guarantee the later episodes will ever materialize especially if their development is predicated on the sales of the previous episodes. I'm still waiting for D4 Season 2

brb, killing self

You need internet to play steam games, no?

Absolution has been on sale for pennies, wasn't it part of a humble bundle too?

I own it and don't even know how.

most steam games won't kick you out if your internet goes down for 5 seconds

yea, one of the humble SE bundles... along with Thi4f and Murdered: Soul Suspect

> kick you out

That was patched after the first mission

episodic content is shit.

thank god everyone keeps tracking of post-release patching

No, after you downloaded them, you don't
