Why can't Arkane into sales?

>all those shills saying its System Shock
>all of those shills that dissed bioshock
>all of them are now gone without a paycheck due to the failure of the game

feels good

who is op quoting

>mass amounts of marketing

nigga what?

Best game of the Year in my opinion

>Dishonored 2
>PREY

That's two strikes for Arkane. Do they get their last chance?

>Millenniscums don't watch TV

>mass amounts of marketing

What?

boards.fireden.net/v/search/image/VfvHF6ROVRvUlu8qqbzkeQ/

look at the patterns

prey 2 when?

It got a lot of marketing. Problem it was misdirected marketing that told you very little about the game and was ultimately confused on the message it was conveying.

Good. Maybe devs will learn to actually commit to making good games rather than doing a cross between modern cancer and good games.

Many people on Sup Forums are unable to comprehend that people enjoy different things. The only way they can understand it is assuming it's a mass corporate conspiracy.

Half of those are calling it shit. Stop being paranoid.

>watching television
heh... hahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHA HA HA HA H AH A HA HA HA HA HA HA H A HA HA H AH A HA H A HA HA HA

$13.7 million is failing? How much did the game cost?

this shit had 0 marketing

Let's get this over with

>post yfw you didn't fall for it

you need to understand at some point people started doing reverse shilling to "counter" the real shilling. very much like actual retards taking over this site where people were pretending to be retards this became a sad reality benefiting no one in the end.

That's not that bad desu, along with console sales it's prob approaching or already over 1mil for a '''niche''' game

>all these plebs defending Bioshock

"I don't watch TV" is the new "I don't have a facebook"

...

Nowadays only surprise indies make it big on PC at launch, though.

...

Meanwhile fucking mobageshit is actually getting mad dosh while an actual vidya is flopping, truly the worst timeline

you got that reversed, buddy
I quit television way back in 2007 or something, deleted my facebook account in 2012

>never had a facebook or myspace or whatthefuckever
>stopped watching tv nearly 10 years ago

How many did it sell on console?

The demo and marketing seemed to cater more to them than PC players.

it's a good game. I didn't buy it tho

shame though. game is really good, another solid fps by arkane, as usual. not sure if you faggots even played it or not. pirate it, it's great.

>be a turbojew
>only hobby is vidya
>got a €13 rule
>want to play titanfall 2, battlefield 1, watch dogs 2, prey, elite dangerous, nier auto tomata, etc.
>have to wait 2-3 years for them to drop in price

Yea, most games pc games make money over time, through steam sales and whatnot

prey is full of fps cliches everyone got bored of in the 90s
who the fuck wants to play a game on a space station

>Sup Forums defended this shit left and right
>it flops

YOU FUCKS DESERVE EVERY OUNCE OF ANGUISH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>Prey
>actual vidya
>better than mobashit

Right. It probably hand broken even yet but word of mouth is good and I think after summer sales it'll be profitable.

Not giving out review copies is definitely hurting sales though.

That's too bad. The game was actually pretty good.

Their retarded review policy is fucking them in the ass

>PC sales

It's kinda sad. I thought the game was a 7/10. These kinds of games just don't sell well anymore.

They really aren't though, the tone seems to be call out an issue saying it's been fixed, or backhanded compliments. It's the kind of thing I'd expect a marketer to do to keep their posts under the radar.

I have honestly no fucking clue why anyone would watch TV in this day and age. The very few shows that matter you can just torrent.

TV is as outdated as the newspaper.

This. Bethesda really hurt the game by forcing Arkane to name it "Prey" and by that review policy.

>2007

9/10 for me. Couldn't really complain about anything. What would you do to improve it user?

>a game reboot completely unrelated to the original doesn't perform well despite marketing and paid reviews
Wow I wonder what could have went wrong!?

I'm just hyped for the new season of Twin Peaks.

Well it is the blandest of the bland games. Pretty dissapointing considering it's Arkane.

I mean, who would have thought that reading infodumps and collecting crafting materials would get old fast when it's neither a good shooter nor a stealth game.

Well yes, sp games that arent particularly long dont sell well when theres 100h+ open world games or f2p games that people play for 3k hours.

Its not even a reboot, it was its own game and Bethesda stepped in and forced them to name it Prey because it was an IP they owned

Arkane really needs to work on their storytelling to engage people who aren't creative with game mechanics and can't derive pleasure from. That's really what's holding them back and you can tell stories are not a priority for them.

>elite dangerous
dont bother unless you love grinding
>near a tomato
buy at full price

pirate the rest

yeah, I haven't seen a single ad. Don't watch tv though.

>220k on Steam
Now add the console sales. Pretty sure it's not a flop.

>thought about killing myself today
>see this
>delayed suicide

>all those shills saying its System Shock
That's what put me off.
Because System Shock sucked.

>reverse psychology

>IGN gives it a 4
>paid reviews

It just got a little boring as it went on. I'm mostly a story fag, so I felt that the narrative was lacking a bit. It just felt like I was being led around the station by everyone unlocking doors. Gunplay was serviceable though.

it's 8 now because they got a paycheck

a denuvo game doesnt sell? who could have seen this coming

Prey was definitely a step in the right direction, especially after the snoozefests that are Dishonored's stories. They can craft a world, but I've only ever briefly cared about Daud in their games. Whenever they try a regular narrative is when things get extremely dull.

That sucks (at least on consoles), the game looks pretty fun

Good, I wanted to be the predator hunting the prey reversing from the first game but got some guy fumbling around a spaceship with black blobs and audio logs. Normies didn't think that sounded fun either.

Triple A game with the prey name long since held over, also steal gets 30% of all sales.

If you read the review you would've seen it was over a bug. Which most certainly did not deserve a four point lowering of the score.

>Bethesda doesn't send pre-release copies anymore
>regular outlets can't compete with individuals who can get reviews out much faster
WHAT DO
>post a controversial score for clicks

But 2butt and msg5 sold a whopping 1mil copies.

Better weapon upgrades, no +5% stat bullshit.
Alternative ammo types or new firemodes unlocked via upgrades.
Or just add more weapons.
Fix the shitty sound triggers so I don't hear the 'scary sound' when I walk into a room I've already cleared.
More enemy variety. (maybe even a giant mimic that pretends to be a vending machine)

They're one of those "traditional marketing is dead" companies, so they paid a bunch of youtubers twitch streamers and social media marketing firms to spam Sup Forums.

>be a turbojew
>spend money on vidya instead of pirating it

Pick one

>2butt

what?

how will Sup Forums ever recover?

I like it.
Gonna buy it when I have the money.

game mechanics are average at best in prey

>a system shock clone failing hard
what a shocking surprise
that's what zenimax and arkane get for what they did.

>current year
>watching advertisingvision
those born in the 80s are millennials, btw

My GOTY so far easily.

Amazing game.

Bring on the shill comments.

Wasnt it really rushed according to leaks guy?

Millenniscums starts at '82 the earliest and depending '82 is sometimes considered gen x.

Yes, let's celebrate immersive sims dying all over again. Let's celebrate Arkane inevitable going the way of LFS. Let's pop open the bubbly over the dismissal of IO and the failure of the greatest Hitman game to date.

Congratulations! Now video games can be bad again!

>all of those shills that dissed bioshock
i hate both prey and bioshock

>immersive

Does Sup Forums really judge the quality of a game based on how well it sells? You guys aren't that retarded right?

nier

Maybe they shouldn't have half assed it while working for Bethesda and maybe people would care. Arkane is nothing more than a poor man's Looking Glass and nothing would be lost by them disappearing.

The new Hitman also had a shitton of bad decisions. I'm not going to reward bad decision making on the off chance something good might come from it later. Doing that doesn't make anything better.

>massive amounts of marketing

what? it barely had any marketing

Its an above average game. I had fun
I pirated it

why would you laugh at the shills? You know they get paid for that, they don't really have any personal stake in the game's success.

if anything laugh at bethshit those stupid cunts

>blocks all ads
>doesn't watch tv
THERE WAS NO MARKETING AT ALL.

>immersive sim

Sooooo, is VtmB shit since it sold like garbage?

>literally 2 enemy types
>boring combat
>outdated visuals, ugly gun models
>inventory management
>obvious twist
4/10

yep

No, it is shit because it is garbage. Maybe you hot topic emo's would know that if you ever grew up.

...

I remember seeing the tv commercial and thinking "This sounds like SJW trash. Fuck that shit."

I'll be the last time i saw someone say immersive sim on here it was the same bethesda marketer.

He didn't have anything to reply with when people called it " a walking simulator where you can open drawers"

I tbqgdh thought it was a reboot/re-something of the 2006 game right up until launch, until some user told me it was closer to a ---Shock title
