Wolfenstein 2 A Massive Failure

archive.is/vLGj6

>Wolfenstein 2 came in at 14, and The Evil Within 2 was 13th, in the list of best-selling games in the U.S. last month. Forza Motorsport 7, Gran Turismo Sport, and Grand Theft Auto V all finished higher (NPD does point out that racing-game sales are up 43 percent year-over-year). This comes with some caveats. Bethesda doesn’t report its digital sales to NPD. The only other publisher with a top 20 game that doesn’t report digital sales is Nintendo. Full-game downloads could represent anywhere from 10 percent to 40 percent of the total copies sold. On top of that, Wolfenstein 2 only had two days on the market before the end of NPD’s reporting period.

>The biggest issue here is that every single one of these Bethesda games are well made and the exact kinds of games many people claim they want when the complain about live-services that rely on loot boxes and microtransactions. Prey and Dishonored 2 are some of the best immersive-sim action adventures ever made, and I think Wolfenstein 2 is the most impressive work of political criticism so far in 2017. The Evil Within 2 has even won over a lot of fans. But for some reason, they just aren’t finding blockbuster-sized audiences.

>paying for single-player games at launch
bargain bin in half a year just like the first one

That is what happens when you try force propaganda down the people's throats.

Lol neonazi butthurt

>Sup Forums is still seething about this game
Rent free

Exactly, they just cannot stop posting out of their containment.

this, the only game i've bought on launch (pre-ordered, technically) in the last few years was sonic mania and i ended up getting screwed over by a two week delay that was announced four days before release
even when i make an exception i get reminded why buying a game at launch is a terrible idea

Stop posting this

This is what they get for forcing real life politics into my fucking VIDEO GAMES. I PLAY GAMES TO ESCAPE THIS SHIT, STOP FORCING IT DOWN MY THROAT HOPING TO GET MORE SALES FROM THE VOCAL MINORITY YOU STUPID FUCKS.

>Prey and Dishonored 2 are some of the best immersive-sim action adventures ever made

Are these people living in the same reality as the rest of us? Also:

>I think Wolfenstein 2 is the most impressive work of political criticism so far in 2017

"everyone I disagree with politically is a nazi, now lets kill some nazis", isn't political criticism, its stupid and childish.

hopefully lessons learned and III will be better

Prey and Dishonored 2 are almost perfect games though.

So less politics and more killing?

Don't digital sales make up more than half of all units now? Not including them makes these "charts" useless.

>...and I think Wolfenstein 2 is the most impressive work of political criticism so far in 2017.
>impressive work of political criticism

>CONSERVATIVES ARE NAZIS
>WHITE PEOPLE BAD
>PEOPLE OF COLOR GOOD
>COMMUNISM GOOD

>impressive work of political criticism

I think marketing fucked it up.
But more killing for sure , game was way too short.

how many times has Sup Forums spammed this thread?

boards.fireden.net/v/search/text/vLGj6/type/op/

yes, a series that has been killing nazis for years. Totally modern political critique. You butthurt fuckers got angry that there was a commie in the game and they played off that and it worked. You alt-right idiots got played.

>Prey sells like ass
>Dishonored 2 sells like ass
>Dishonored Death of the Outsider sells like ass
>The Evil Within 2 sells like ass
>Wolfenstein 2 sells like ass
Don't let Sup Forums trick you into thinking it flopped because "muh women and minorities", Bethesda is horrible at marketing their games.

This as well, all political shit aside, the game was short as fuck and had more forced cutscenes than gameplay.

>people on Sup Forums still think this game is a commentary on the current day political climate
>they still don't know that the marketing team are the ones pushing this Nazi punching narrative.

>Look, mom! I posted it again!

>dishonored 2
>prey
>wolfenstein 2
>evil within 2
All well-received single-player games
All bombas

Meanwhile Mordor 2 topped the charts, despite widespread criticism for its lootboxes, and Battlefront 2 will likely do the same.

Any lesson Bethesda takes from this will probably not be the one we want.

No amount of marketing could of saved those dumpster fires they had the audacity to call games.

Because they know Sup Forums and Reddit will get upset over making fun of them so they keep talking about it. It's perceived power through real power.

they're adult games. adults don't mind patiently waiting for the price to go down.

Fuck off

all highly praised by fans, new players, and critics.

>dumpster fires

>Wolfenstein 2 is the most impressive work of political criticism so far in 2017

Here's how you know this entire article is just a fluff piece for Wolfenstein 2. What is it about this game journalists love to felate? The history of video games is littered with "good" games that don't sell. The reality is, most of the time, those games suck.

I don't give these out much but I hope you enjoy it.
(You)

KEKENSTEIN II
AHAHAHAHA
I'M FUCKIGN DYING HERE

The only resent game I bought at launch was DS3, just so I could shitpost with Sup Forums. Good times

A case study in the effects of bad marketing.

>Wolf 2
>political bullshit, 3 hour cutscenes and boring gameplay
>sales 206,050
>Doom 2016
>no political bullshit, fun gameplay.
>sales 2,430,095

Damn it's like good games sell more.. who would have thought?

The anti-Sup Forums marketing was fine, it's the normies they didn't go after.

,050
thats atleast $12,363,000

You sound angry friend

Says the guy still making this thread.

>6 hour game
>3 hours is shitty cutscenes with cringe dialogue and antics
>lack of actual content in form of weapons and enemies
>no fucking boss fights at all
>overly political marketing making people think it's a super political game
Gee.

If you had any reading comprehension at all you would have seen that I wasn't complaining about the fact that you kill nazis in Wolfenstein, or even about the fact that the games have always portrayed nazis as pure evil. The issue, you brainlet, is that Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus makes direct comparisons between Nazis and modern day conservatives, and has a very anti-white narrative.

not really. you guys are angry about a video game saying things you dont like tho.

well the game is noticeably unfinished by the time you get to the second act

literally what was the point of horton

>Prey and Dishonored 2 are some of the best immersive-sim action adventures ever made

except it doesn't. a character saying white boy is not a full on anti white adgenda.

There were some fairly basic mistakes with all of the games the article mentions.

>The issue, you brainlet, is that Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus makes direct comparisons between Nazis and modern day conservatives
Shouldn't it? If you're even slightly conservative you have more in common with the Nazis than you do your own liberal countrymen. Which is probably why the game sold like shit. Why would I want to play a game where I kill Germans on behalf of some blaxploitation woman who won't stop yammering about how much she hates whites?

Wolfenstein has always been about fighting Nazis, sorry you and your Sup Forums buddies made it political to hate Nazis.

>yes, a series that has been killing nazis for years. Totally modern political critique.
That's what the article in the OP says. It's the most impressive work of political criticism released in 2017.

Why would he be angry when that game sold miserablely?

Not him, but yes it does.

Prey was actually really good, but man is seemed dated even on release. I really appreciate the care the devs put into the station, making it seemed lived and even naming some enemies after known people on the station. Soundtrack was excellent too.

It doesn't deserve to be lumped in with shitty Wolfenstein II.

I'm sorry you like a bad game

>literally too dumb to read the op article

Maybe they should've stayed on the killing nazis business instead of try to say that every white people = nazi, trump voters = nazi.

See the problem is not that we the Muricans fight Nazis. The problem is that the Swedes completely mate a fool of the Nazi army. They want to force an political agenda on you, so you can hate the Alt Right. The previous Wolfenstein games never did that.

You should have posted the, "these are not fine people" one instead.

You said one of the reasons it sold poorly because of politics, to which I replied "Its always been about this, you made it political"

lmao leftypol btfo

Killing robot Hitler down a doom hallway is not political. Retard.

Except that it's not. WWII games are about killing Nazis. Wolf 2 is communist propagandized fiction about killing white Americans hiding behind the pitiful excuse of "come on guys, it's just about killings Nazis!!"

>Shouldn't it? If you're even slightly conservative you have more in common with the Nazis than you do your own liberal countrymen.

Not really. "Slightly conservative" these days is what "extremely liberal" was a decade ago. If you simply believe that white people have a right to exist, you're seen as extremely conservative, borderline white supremacist Nazi.

delicious anti/pol/ redditor tears

>But for some reason, they just aren’t finding blockbuster-sized audiences.
It's almost like the vast majority of people don't want political BS forced on them, especially when it's done as fucking childlike and cringey as Wolfenstein II.

>I think Wolfenstein 2 is the most impressive work of political criticism
Probably the kind of idiot that thinks changing letters around on the name of the political candidate you don't like is amazing criticism.

>when communists kill people it's horrific but when right wing dictators do it it's funny and cool
Sup Forums confuses me

This
*in my che guevarra shirt*

>If you simply believe that white people have a right to exist, you're seen as extremely conservative, borderline white supremacist Nazi.
Aren't you? Was WW2 not fought so that the white man could go extinct?

You're right in that it wasn't the sole reason, but there's no way it helped the situation.The political bullshit did not endear it to any of the people I discuss games with across multiple sites. It was stacking one negative on top of another.

>/vpol/ celebrates that single player games sell like shit

Enjoy a future infested with online-only, microtransaction-filled trash

> Say for years that SJW shit doesn't sell.
> Constantly prove that SJW shit doesn't sell.
> Developers continue to try to sell SJW shit.

You dense motherfuckers.

>I think Wolfenstein 2 is the most impressive work of political criticism so far in 2017.
The fuck? Even the people who hate Trump and the right in my social circles thought it was cheesy and OTT.

I liked Prey and even The Evil Within 2. Never had any interest in Wolfenstein games.

...

Sequelitis is setting in, finally.

/vpol/ is celebrating the failure of a Swedecuck chick tract. The nature of the game doesn't matter.

>all the butthurt ITT
Glorious.

Lmao.

Mario Odyssey sold fine, moron.

Where my fellow Civic nationalists at?

>leftists think because you're against politics being forced in the game industry that means you're all the bad boogie mans
Why are you faggots still here you're not subverting people you're just making neutral people hate you more

Karma at its best.

In the end god always watches over us.

>What is it about this game journalists love to felate?
The converse reason right-leaning people have to dislike it. They love the politics espoused and were probably gung ho supporters of shit like the recent riots in Berkeley.

Oh yes goy-er I mean Comrade, communism is good!!! Feel that heat!

>I'm going to insult and meme the opposition I am most like as to distance myself from everyone, because that will get more people to join my cause

Never cared about the series and probably never will. They should move on to something less shit.

This is what happens when a cuckshed studio makes Wolfenstein political.

The series' tone has always been a cross between FPS vidya gaem, campy nazisploitation and Indiana Jones, until the the reboot and it's sequels happened.

We want Air Jordans.

Correction:
>celebrates Western single player games sell like shit.
Also Wolfenberg 2 has a season pass on top of an already short campaign so I don't feel bad at all.

Only feel bad about Prey, but Bethesda did it to themselves by using the Prey IP instead of just marketing it as a new IP and a spiritual successor to System Shock

It's the logical outcome of polite society condemning anyone with even a modicum of thought potentially linked to fascism while simultaneously openly entertaining the ideas of those like Assata Shakur and Che Guevara.

If you didn't want Pinochet memes, perhaps you should have shut down the academic worship of Castro that gave birth to the former.

...

That isn't logical at all m8. People don't like fascism. It's that simple. It isn't your idealistic "why won't people give it a chance" ideology. Most people dislike communism as well. Get over it. Both are garbage and kill people.

Why can't you just say "socialism is bad"?
There, both extremes don't exist.

Neoliberalism kills people too. Killing is normal.

Rightists seem to want politics in games, though.

So then why is communism bad? Is it just that Sup Forums has to grasp something to hate it for because fascism demands it?

If killing is fine then there is nothing wrong with communism according to Sup Forums.

Felt like a dlc for TNO.
Anyone else get that vibe?

Communism is not bad because it kills people, but because it's a utopian fantasy based on a lie called equality, which results in nothing but misery.

I didn't say anything good about fascism, I just said while the double standard quite clearly exists people will gravitate towards anything to shut down one being ingratiated. In this case, violent communists having free reign to discuss their ideas in academic circles while fascists (or even just nationalists these days) are violently attacked just for existing will produce obvious results in those with a growing dislike of leftwing ideologies.

Because I had more to say.

Why would they want politics in games when it will always be leftist politics(in the current climate)

I think you're missing his point. He isn't trying to exonerate killing. Also you can swap communism and fascism around and replace Sup Forums with leftists and your point remains the same

>Wolfenstein 2 is the most impressive work of political criticism so far in 2017
found the reason
noone but a selected few care for politics and just want fun game to play
