What went wrong?
Could it be that the Ico/SotC crowd is just a bunch of pretentious loud babys that prefer to praise their favorite "smart people" toy on the internet over actually buying and playing games?
Pretty much the same shit as with last guardian.

This can feed a team of about 4-5 people.
Currently Tequilla Works has roughly 50 (!) employees.
Why does a game being praised as similar too or drawing inspiration from, an old classic game mean that somehow everyone who has ever considered themselves a fan of that old game must then go out and buy it?
How exactly does that make any sense?
It MIGHT make sense if the fans of Ico were the ones praising Rime as a spiritual successor or something, but that's not where the comparison came from. It was the reviewers.
Aside from the idiotic racism this is accurate.
Just because it flopped on PeeC doesn't mean it flopped. Consoles will save it as they do every game.
MC is a negro
I dont buy negro games
This is literally the first time I've ever heard of this game and I have nothing better to do with my life than video games so somebody shit the bed with marketing
Racism is never idiotic.
What nostalgia meme?
This game plays nothing like old games, its the opposite it fell for the immersive walking sim meme
>It MIGHT make sense if the fans of Ico were the ones praising Rime as a spiritual successor or something, but that's not where the comparison came from. It was the reviewers.
This is inaccurate.
You answered your own question though.
I want people without relevant higher education to leave this thread immediately.
It's not out in Europe yet. I'll buy it.
>steam
PC gamers are a bunch of filthy pirates.
>pcfucks don't buy games
HOLD THE FUCKING PRESSES
even less now because its denuvo got cracked.
Just let them rot with no games, so they can finally slide into obscurity and die
People stopped caring when this stopped being a Ps4 exclusive.
bingo
we just don't want to play shitty walking sim
go back to your last guardian, faggots
Haven't heard about, maybe if it was backed by ubisoft and its advertising power it could have done better I think
>walking simulator
>nigger character
>5hour long
>denuvo
Oh jeez I wonder why it failed, how out of touch are these stupid devs
But you love Minecraft...
>hype hype hype
What! No? Yeah it was feature pn a lot of lists to look out for but it wasn't individually hyped.
It's not a very good game and didn't have much marketing or fanfare
Also this looks like a copycat of abzu I got in the humblebundle, dont need a second boring walkfest in my life
Minecraft literally lets you build an ingame emulator to play console games on. So there's that.
Never heard of this trash why should I care? Also what the fuck is Ico supposed to be?
I don't play games that come with paint bucket fills instead of actual textures.
Also, nigger mc.
As a project or curiosity, no one is really using minecraft emulators.
Yuropeon Sonyslaves aren't welcome here.
Man I love when people start threads pretending to ask a legitimate question but then procede to shitpost.
it is when you hate your own race
That's only if you're extremely autistic and invest hundreds of hours into it, though.
What was racist about his statement?
>hype hype hype
What? No one heard of it until another DENUVO BTFO threads
>$30 for 6 hours of boring gameplay
no thanks, I'll stick with anything else, especially when it's coming out during a year that's been great for games.
i only play games with straight white males as the playable character
No one actually likes shit like this except for videogame "critics".
Why the fuck would I play this when I could play an FPS or RPG?
Shadow of the Colossus and Ico were never mainstream system sellers.
They have a cult following, most normies are still unaware of them. I haven't played Rime yet but I plan to, it looks cool.
>the Ico/SotC crowd
They dont exist any more. They slowly died off during the Last Guardian hiatus, and the actuall release of the game killed off the straglers.
Thats probably why the game failed, they targets an audience that used to be huge, but had died down in the past couple of years.
To play something different for a change.
kek
>we
Fucking nerd. Also if it wasn't for Steam PC gaming would have died due to piracy. By the early-mid 2000s PC games were barely sold in stores. Consoles were gonna kill PC gaming if it wasn't for Steam giving publishers confidence back.
That's the truth. Looks like zelda with a nigger and no combat
Wasn't the game cracked right away?
I would normally disagree that piracy actually hurts sales, but in the case of PC gaming, piracy is definitely a rampant practice. Ironically though, I do think it's DRM and copy-protection that keep people from buying games. These protection schemes involve so much bullshit like expiring keys, backend clients or always-online validation that no one wants to bother. I mean, you're practically just renting the game even though you purchased a physical copy.
cheap knockoff of an already shit game
Yeah, but nobody uses LEGO for serious RC cars either, yet you can build one and have great fun during and after the build regardless.
Zero advertising. I played this at PAX and enjoyed it, and I didn't even realize it was out till I saw this.
Also according to steam reviews it's a shit port
Only people playing vidya as their job could consider walking simulators an actual alternative to an action or roleplaying game.
And situations like this once show once more that the PC market is not viable.
did this really happen
The two most retarded posts on Sup Forums
I found some walking sims better than the garbage you retards recommend sometimes. Dear Esther was sure more interesting than that bland shit called Serious Sam.
it'll sell more once you guys get done beta testing it and it comes to the switch
Thanks for all your hard work! Squash those bugs good for us! :^)
>Why the fuck would I play this when I could play an FPS or RPG?
They have removed Denuvo on the PC version.
Literally have never heard of this game before. Could it be people simply didn't know?
You gotta shill hard if you want to make it.
The last PC game I bought was Civ VI last year. Even though I bought it physical I had to install that Steam bullshit and now the game is locked into my account forever, so fuck PC gaming. No, seriously.
ico was a boring piece of shit, why would I want to play a watered down indie version of it?
Skelebros saved yet another man from getting cucked even further. Is there no end to the charity we get from the undead? Is there any reason to not be a Necromancer?
>Shadow of the Colossus and Ico were never mainstream system sellers.
Shadow of the Colossus was. It was even re-released under the Greatest Hits line.
Yeah how surprising that companies were abandoning a piracy ridden shithole like the PC market until Valve saved it. Its crazy that this companies don't wanna give away their product for free, how weird.
Gone Home was fucking popularised on PCs ya dummy
I wish "you" pc-only guys would play less shitty walking sims
Wait I thought this was gonna be like Zelda
The game isn't a walking sim, but I did find it pretty boring. Puzzles weren't consistently clever, and overall I can tell why Sony dropped this as an exclusive; way too similar to what Team Ico and thatgamecompany have made. I think the only significant difference is that this story is a lot less ambiguous (it's specifically about loss).
Nice try sandro
>Gone Home was fucking popularised on PCs ya dummy
it was popularised by retarded journalism
Or because there was now a singular place to get PC games from the comfort of your overstressed "gaming" chair
I think this is characteristic for mediterranean people. But MC should be a little bit wither like this.
Ehhh I guess, but I'd still call it an obscure game to the general public.
>Sup Forums now trashing ICO while praising whatever crappy generic fps that gets shitted out on PC
Fuck this board.
>Valve saved it.
And then it proceeded to fuck it all over again by turning its platform into Shovelware and Early Access Scams Central.
It has a shit artstyle
It was a racists analysis. The race had nothing to do with the game not doing well. Its was all marketing, its release was barely announced, it just kind of dropped into the market.
Is there a pleb board than this one?
Can you imagine if Sup Forums got angry about every independent movie hoping it would fail while rushing to see every shitty blockbuster because that's exactly what this board does.
More like I've never heard of Rime or if its a project that pushed a system to its fullest.
Case in point, Ico was a PS1 game that was so ambitious they just put it to PS2. Sounds familiar? Last Guardian went through the same thing on PS3 and move to PS4.
Only the PS2 was the oddball in that it had enough juice to have SotC work without a generation leap.
I got that game for free and I still felt ripped off when I played it. I just don't get popular games these days.
I didn't even realize Injustice 2 or Tekken 7 were out already, what makes you think I've heard about, or give a shit, about an indie.
>Dear Esther was sure more interesting than that bland shit called Serious Sam.
Sure you can argue that while Dear Esther is a long pretentious hallway of boring monologue, Serious Sam is a long bloody hallway of same-ish combat.
You still might have a brain damage for giving DE any kind of credit though.
You don't like videogames then. These no gameplay titles are interactive movies. Even as an atmospherefag it's rare to have a convincing ambiance from these.
Pathologic is up to now the only walking sim I enjoyed.
Oh fuck off. You were jerking off while that guys girlfriend was getting railed by some asshole, probably a Stronghold cuck. Skeletons will never let you down.
Ico sold like shit too, so it is indeed Ico for PC
I dont know if this is real or not but it really fucking hurt
Why are women so evil?
There's probably a good reason why this game came and went, it took forever to even come out.
But Sup Forums wants to see shitty blockbusters fail
SOTC barely worked on the PS2 and had a truckload of content cut
>loss
The comic?
I likely know more about about videogames than you. You are just retarded and can't enjoy things that dont appeal to your stupidity.
I was hoping that it would be a fun little action adventure game but it turns out its just a walking simulator
>>a regular programmer costs 30k a year
Really? 3 years of programming education gives you like 50k here in Norway, and that's with a historically weak Krone.
>The race had nothing to do with the game not doing well.
The Harvard IAT would like a word with you.
I bet if you showed Sup Forums screenshots of black/white characters and words like "fun", "good", "shit", "pandering", "kino", and "casual" it would consistently associate the black characters with casual pandering shit and the white characters with good fun kino.
Its proven games that star black characters sell less.
It was announced at gamescom user 3 fucking years ago because sony is desperate to show ANYTHING but it DID get announced.
It's popular in Sup Forums to be double irony, which is the normal ironic of being a slave to corporate douchery like Todd and Horizon as long as it isn't popular for the hardcore demographic Sup Forums deprises.
When's the last time we've even played a niche indie game that wasn't destined to be popular to start with like Noitu Love 2 or Demonophobia?
Sup Forums is not the place to go talk about vidya anymore. Its full of contrarian ignorant idiots who because they played Quake or CS 1.6 back in the day, think they anything about videogame's medium as a whole.
>playing Stronghold OR necropolis
>not maining dungeon or fortress
Everybody falling under the first category please leave.
Reminder there is nothing wrong with story driven games or playing games for the story.
>HURR WHY NOT WATCH A MOVIE THEN!
Because dear user the interactive element enhances the experience in a way conventional film cannot.
>I don't play negro games
>plays anime pedo bullcrap instead
no
Not video game, fuck off.
It`s fake niggers, the real video is "Hidden camera guy films fucking his girlfriend"It`s not even cuck shit.
