So...

So, now that Mortal Kombat 11 is the second best selling game of the first half of 2019 and the best selling game of the month on every platform it released, can we agree that the whole "Get woke, go broke" meme is nothing but wishful thinking?

Yes, normies don't give a shit about politics, they'll buy established franchises

I always thought that meme was retarded

How did it sell compared to the older MK?
Remember that the achievement of "NUMBAH ONE ON ALL THREE CONSOLES" is only possible because Nintendo hasn't had a real console in a long time

You keep spamming this yet every-time leave out that no numbers have been published, there was no competition in April, and Anthem which was paraded in the same fashion as "best selling of Feburary" is a confirmed failure now. This recent shit regarding MK11 is dishonest as fuck and screams that WB are panicing.

/pol/niggers spout shit like that (and "They don't even play games") because they're hoping developers read Yea Forums and will start pandering to them out of fear they will lose money. They're hoping that if they repeat lies like those enough times, they'll stick.

So why did an established franchise like DMC5 get outsold by a new IP like Sekiro?

Is this you?

>It's physically impossible to get retailer sales numbers until ATLEAST one month after the release of a product.
Explain how Japan does it each week then

No. The fgc is a market that works entirely differently than FPS, MMO, action/open world. Base games in the FGC are almost always guaranteed strong launches if they have a really well known name brand such as Street fighter or Mortal Kombat. So no, get woke go broke is still 100 percent true no matter how many retarded shills attempt to use the "lie told often enough becomes to the truth" method to change that

cope
SFV was a complete failure and Mortal Kombat 11 has already sold a billion times more than it.

No, because "woke" was neither their primary advertising mechanic nor did it interfere with the established gameplay/main story enough to even matter.

>These are shipment numbers
Do you think they give them away for free?

If it wasn't woke, then why did we have 500 threads on Yea Forums crying about it being woke? Is this board ever right about a game? Ever? "Woke" doesn't mean anything anymore.

I don't think you read my post pretty sure we agree. Gj though

Nah like I said retarded shills are just trying to change the rhetoric by telling the lie often enough. Mortal Kombat sold well because it's the most popular fighting franchise in America. You are retarded or shilling if you say otherwise

Mortal Kombat 11 advertised itself on being woke about as much as Battlefield 1. And /pol/niggers were very quick to brag when the later flopped. This seems like post-hoc rationalization from you. If this game sold poorly, you'd definitely be celebrating and naming it as yet another example.

And more people play MK than SF in America so fucking duh bro. Shit bombed in Japan. Just wait until the next SJW battlefield game hits. You'll get shutup quick

>Mortal Kombat sold well because it's the most popular fighting franchise in America
...How is this any different from what I (the supposed shill) said?

You can't ignore the "woke" games that succeed and just concentrate on the "woke" games that flop. The fact that there are "woke" games that don't flop is enough to prove that, as a whole, "Get woke, go broke" doesn't necessarily apply.

What was its competition? Anthem?

This copy pasta is seriously retarded.

More like copepasta

CARLOS!!!

SFV was an utter failure at launch because they released the game incomplete, not because it isn't as strong of a brand as MK. The circumstances and context are different if we compared them.

>leftists and leftits think they are in control
Look I'll tell you this, just so you can realize why you're an idiot, even if your "ideology" wasn't such a shitshow.
Beforehand? Leftists held basically every source of information: universities, book publishers, media, etc etc.
Now?
We got the internet.
The left isn't the gatekeeper of information, the elites exist no longer, at least not in the sense that you know things the masses cannot potentially know as well.
So you lost that game, the game of intelligence/culture/information.
Now let's look at the leftists credo: "Just do whatever man!".
Cool.
Now let's look at the right's credo: "Improve yourself, work hard, be disciplined".
Which one of the two is more predator in nature?

You are on the wrong side in history if only because the right is gong to win and victors write history.
You're still in time to bail, get out of your hugboxes, of your pipe dreams, reality doesn't care about what you think even if you were right (which you aren't), only victory matters and the left is going to lose.
>"B-BUT TRUMP"
Are you stupid?
Europe is rising in a new wave of fascism.
Yeah.
Fascism, actual fascism.
Not the "we don't like migrants" fascism but the "everyone that doesn't work for the nation is a traitor" type of fascism.
Antifa is busy ridiculing themselves and calling everything fascism which only serves the purpose of real fascism, you make it look common, inconsequential and if anything make their "sins" lighter, the same way jews in hollywood make jewish characters that are always the butt of the joke.
"Look at me! I am harmless! I am a fool!", that's how you're making us look, we're wolves and you gave us the sheep's clothing.
You used your weapons so much they are dull now.

Jump the ship while there's still time, you'll be hailed a hero and get the popularity the left cannot provide any longer.

I admit I cannot find evidence that dark souls was used as a piggyback in the marketing of sekiro. however I find this detail to be trivial in the reputation preceeding sekiro as the developers have made several high quality games with similar elements that any gamer would be aware of and as such I am not admitting defeat

Dmc is just a cringe fest combo breaker game.. I've tried picking it up to finish on several separate occasions just to be bored and embarrassed by the next mission

I think companies care less about initial sales these days and just want to the people into the eco system of ingame stores.

Every developer should have extensive crunch time to keep the quality as high as MK11 was.

Just pointing out it works, my dude.
No matter what you think about the gameplay of MK11, it's an extremely high quality game in terms of visuals/presentation. Without crunch time this game wouldn't be nearly as impressive as it is right now.

One exception does not disprove the rule.

Nice hyperbole, but being the best selling game of the first year's half is pretty impressive. It's only behind Kingdom Hearts 3. Very far from broke.

Yeah no that's not what I was talking about. And the fact you replied to me in this "2 kewl 4 school" attitude is cringe squared. Seriously, go outside today. Your mom's worried about you.

>More money and work was put into it
>"B-but they dont care if it sells more than MKX"

Holy coping

wtf i love purposely ugly characters and censorship now

nice mad

You can dislike something AND not pretend it's gonna sell badly because you dislike it. There's room for both.

Mat is so full of shit.

no one said it was going to sell poorly, everyone was in agreement that it would still sell okay compared to other games. however that doesnt mean it sold as much as it should have or as much as they expected it to. discounts day 1 shows clear signs of overstocking and rejection by the public. thats like saying anthem was a success because it sold more than most games in 2019. no it isnt, because they spend more to make more.

>no one said it was going to sell poorly
I think that's the implication with "Get broke"

Go broke means lost revenue most often not actually going broke. No one doubted that SW will make money, but in business everything is about return of investment. Even if you make 2$ for every 1$ you put in, investors might not be happy because you promised 4$ and other investment did 3$. Fact is that MK11 is expected to do better than MK10. It is released with absolutely no competition. Go broke here means that they could have got much more without getting woke.

you can go broke by spending a lot and not selling enough, while still selling more than most games. im sorry that such basic business math is difficult for you to grasp.

Mortal Kombat 11 definitely profited, though.

who knows? you can tell it has a massive production budget and massive marketing. it probably will profit over time but for now, its clearly underperforming or else they wouldnt have overstocked and priced dropped on launch day. damage to reputation also has worth too.

Small profit for big investment is often seen as failure, especially if it also lowered value of the brand.
As I have said, imagine you give a company 100$, they say they will give you back 200$ in a year. Other company is saying the same thing. After a year they gave you back 110$ while other company gives people 200$. You made a profit, but also lost potential 90$. Next time you will give that money to other company.

>damage to reputation
Non-existent

Stop giving this shit (yous) with low effort crap. I don't care if casuals don't want to talk about the game with you and pro players talk privately in their discord that's not a good excuse billy

If you want this meme to end, it's easy, post the sales numbers.

The "get woke go broke" meme is just that, a meme.
You can "get woke" and still provide produce a good game.
Just like you can not "get woke", and produce a bad one.
People just like to say politics and SJW themes are why the game failed/sold poorly, when there are much MUCH bigger issues with the games overall than anything having to do with politics or SJW themes.
Also keep in mind this is pretty much an echo-chamber. How people think on this board is a very niche way of looking at things. A majority of gamers (normies) don't really have a strong option one way or the other about stuff like this.

This. The best example of this was when Telltale went down. The reason why they went down was obvious: They went all in on trying to relive the meme success of the first season of The Walking Dead. They kept buying new famous licenses and making poor choice simulators out of them.

But what /vpol/ showed was tweets of SJW people inside the team, as if it couldn't apply to every company in America. It's pure lunacy.

wow! mommy must be so proud of raising such an intelligent young man like you. so insightful. i look forward to you chiming in with your genius "not all ____ people though" posts in the future on Yea Forums, reddit faggot.

Get woke, go broke refers to a product that tries to use politics to sell something that people wouldnt wasbt otherwise. People still wanted mortal kombat, even with lack of tiddies.

I thought it referred to previously good and popular established franchises becoming shit because SJWs infected them.

same

Just a reminder, that NRS games are shit. Go play SF, Tekken, or some anime fighters if you are looking for better gameplay, characters, visuals, music, and literally anything enjoyable about fighting games.

Underrated post

Because /vpol/ seething is music to my ears.

I'm the dude who bangs your mom and I play mk

I mean, you're posting on the website that was convinced Black Panther was going to be a massive flop and spent months forcing memes about it then BP came out and shattered sales records.

They also did the same with Get Out, and surprise surprise that movie was also a massive success.

What exactly was woke about MK11 anyway?

See:

Don't forget Captain Marvel, followed by "The theaters were empty" coping when they got BTFO yet again.

Almost a good cope, almost.

I see that Ron.

Real talk now Yea Forumsros. Why do people defend this game so much? We all know it failed hard; yet they won't admit defeat.

Attached: 1558390269754.jpg (618x455, 62K)

Wouldn’t that mean it gets most of its money from the microtransactions and special editions, and that barely anyone has played or owns a copy?

I don't think NPD tracks micro-transactions, but I could be wrong.

Leave the poor trannies alone. It's not their fault they have mental illnesses.

It’s only a handful of people on Discord or Resetera who defend this game.
Or people who are literally paid shills.

>eating shit is fun, sorry you have actual taste
Ftfy

I just want to be good at ONE fighting game
but I'm just bad at all of em

It actually panders to both sides. There are "woke" and "redpilled" shit in MK11, although the wokeness is more visual (non-sexy femme chars, some woke dialogues, Jax woke ending, etc.) and the redpilling is more subtle (Kollector is pretty much an entitled/deluded Jew, some redpilled dialogues, Chad Johnny/Kano/Shao Kahn, etc.). But since the wokeness is more visible, MK11 is labeled as woke. Don't get me wrong. I don't like any hint of woke on my games--I pay to play, not to see/hear mental illness--but MK11 does have redpill moments, so it ALMOST evens out. What I really don't like is/was the grindiness of the Krypt (still require more "balancing"), the shift in meta (a flaw--of course, to make it more "accessible"/appealing to casualshitters and terribads), some mechanics, and the lack of lewd female costumes. Which is why it's a NO BUY for me.

>game sold well
>have to shill it
Something doesnt add up

Kingdom Hearts 3 is #1. MK11 is the second one. I think DMCV, Sekiro and RE2 remake are up there, too. Probably a Tom Clancy game, too.

They've been lewding it up all the way to 9. It's from X forward that they've went the poz way.

So is the game good or what?

Tranny Kombat? Disgusting.

>The CHAD KAHN
- makes all women including his wife, adopted daughter, clone of his adopted daughter fight half naked
- crushes his enemies, sees them driven before him and hears the lamentation of the women
- wanted to fuck another king's wife so he kills him and takes his wife
vs
>virgin Kotal
- gets shitted on by Shao Kahn
- women now fight clothed
- stops conquering realms

They didn't even market the game as woke like that OneAngryFaggot is claiming. They marketed it based on the characters, story and the fact that it's Mortal fucking Kombat. They didn't pander to anyone except fucking MK fans who just wanna play as fucking Noob, Shao Kahn and Kitana. The faggots complaining about the game being 100% woke is pure bullshit lies.

They're basically pulling a statistics trick here. They'll single out some data where they look good, but omit the rest of the data where they look bad. Never fully trust statistics unless they provide actual numbers for any/all relevant shit.
>How does it compare to previous entries?
>How does it compare to other fighters?
>Is this game popular enough in the fighting game community and by how much?
>Other questions

It's almost like /pol/niggers cry about every game ever being woke so they can get clickbait material and outrage fuel for their shitty "culture war"

>Things I don't like is /pol/

>How does it compare to other fighters?
Excellently, I'm sure. When's the last time a fighting game was in the Top 3 of the year? Mortal Kombat gets the normalfag dimes more than any other fighting game.

>is now a cripple

>has nothing to do with sales and the "get woke go broke" thing is completely retarded and games sell well or don't sell well based on a plethora of factors
Believe it or now, wokeness is a factor, and it's becoming more and more important with this heavily (and increasingly) politicized world. Yeah, it's not entirely the deciding factor, but an important factor nonetheless.

Why do you emphasize "first half"? It's not july yet.

>The NPD is trust-worthy.

I see they subscribe to the same school of thought as Blizzard with releasing numbers.

It's alright, kike shit aside

Johnny Cage always sucked

They require too much time to get good. I already moved on to the next one. Never get time to practice a lot even with just one character.

I havent been keeping up, why is MK woke and SJW now and how?

Attached: 1429996184172.png (817x720, 638K)

I never got this. Why do you think people are trying to incite you to buy by saying it sold great?

It is not even in the top 20 on Steam. That means consoles have no games if MK11 is in their top 3.

See: Basically, the outfits aren't sexy enough according to /pol/tard degenerates.

4k online is really good for a fighting game, obviously is going to fucking die in 3 months or maybe a little more but thats expected unless they add cross platform

That's dumb

its Mortal Kombat, not fucking Dead or Alive, who is playing this for fapservice?

The average person that cries about SJWs doesn't care for logic. They're just looking for excuses to bitch.

Redditor who started using Yea Forums after 2015

Yea Forumsirgin who has been here at least before 2014 or properly assimilated into chan culture.

SJWs deserve to be demonized. Bunch of retards and faggots willing to spend money on "woke" trash

"Normies" is funner to say. It sounds silly. The "xfag" think got old. I just call people faggots instead.

98% of people who bought the new Mortal Kombat don't give a shit it's woke, my delusional friend. They bought it because it's fun. You're the cancerous retards that want people to stop buying games for political reasons.

Only redditors use 'normie' though because it sanitizes -fag.

>because it's fun

Is that why the online userbase is dwindling?

God, can't fighting games just die already?
It's an obsolete, archaic genre that hasn't advanced in any way ever since it's creation.
In fact, every single entry seems to be a worse and worse take on the genre.

It's like racing games, why can't they just die and instead focus on developing games that will be played by someone other than eSport furshits?

Attached: 1548522272620.gif (315x174, 1.39M)

As I said, it's funnier sounding

It's already dying.
Fighting games are just incapable of mantaining a big fanbase outside of the release week.
They are the kind of games that rely on microtransactions to live on, and with no people playing, no one will be buying microtransactions.
They'll soon die out and just stick to eSports instead of making actual games.

Not that I care much, i've always thought of the fighting genre as second rate games, the kind that aren't worth more than $5.

OP's pic is dollar sales, not number of units shipped or sold. In other words: It's still the second game that made the most money of the year so far, even with the discounts. Pretty good.

>Are you only talking about fighting games on pc?
In general.
But honestly, who cares.
If the fighting game genre died I don't think anyone would miss it.
There's just nothing to it.

Tbh I think this game had cooler characters than mkx

i think thats pretty retarded considering barely anyone is online

In what platform?

Gameplay>technical achievement>politics

MK11 is pretty fun and the most polished gameplay wise and the netcode is the best in the business. It's one of the few games I can play online and not feel like I lost to bullshit netcode and I've been bodied on 30 games sets vs semi-pros, so I know how to take a loss. I play Tekken and Im too laggy to punish a -11 move with a 1 or I play SF and the match unsyncs and gives me a ton of stutter. This shit rarely happens in MK11. Out of 500 games I probably had two yellow bar matches that were bad and they were 2am Russian games where I came back from drinking (I'm American).

no one is buying your shit game kys

>All the /pol/tards seething ITT

They did the opposite of going woke.

See:

It's music to my ears

Mortal Kombat secured two niches very early on - a realistic artstyle and over-the-top violence. As the series evolved it carved out another niche of having a fairly rich lore for a fighting game series, and yet another of its usage of cinematics (which helped enhance both the lore and the gore). None of these are inherently political, so other features of the game can be changed to fit the times without making any notable impact on the effectiveness of these cornerstones For example, because character designs are fairly vacuous, they can be easily changed per the sensibilities of the lowest common denominator and it wouldn't impact on the game's realistic look, violence, lore or cinematics in any meaningful way. Characters like Sonya Blade have seen their designs change drastically from MK9 to MK11 as the common idiot went from chirping, 'Dude! Boobs!' to, 'That's sexist, bro.' The four attractions of Mortal Kombat, given that they have mass appeal and, though tacked on, are ingrained in the series's identity, did not need to and thus have not.
'Get woke, go broke' only works depending on how vulnerable the subject is. Comics that 'get woke' will 'go broke' because comic books in general have a much smaller audience - therefore, pointing out the absurdity of SJW comics to a comic-reading audience is much easier than, say, doing the same with movies to a movie-watching audience (which is much more general because lots more people - therefore lots more DIFFERENT people - watch movies).
MK will always sell well because its niches all appeal to the masses, including those who are not gamers (perfect, considering MK was never well known nor cared about for its gameplay). That doesn't necessarily mean that people aren't tired of 'politically-correct nonsense', however.

>That doesn't necessarily mean that people aren't tired of 'politically-correct nonsense', however
It does, however, make them pretty pathetic if they brag about how the game is gonna fail for having the wrong politics, when anyone with half a brain knows otherwise.

You are the same guy making this thread. Get some pussy loser.

You're posting on Yea Forums, my man. And you're browsing it frequently enough to notice a thread pattern.

Yeah, except they completely fucked over the lore in the reboot with MK9 onwards so I no longer buy their games, so fuck NRS, fuck John Vogel and fuck Sean Kittelsen.

I dont care about fighting games, especially not Mortal Kombat but those burka outfits are fucking hilarious especially next to half naked steroid junkies

They should ip ban anyone who has ever posted in /pol/. If it happens I promise these boards will drop dramatically in falseflagging

The thing that the writers misunderstood about anglos getting into the slave trade is that if not for Britain and North America trying slavery for itself, they then may have never come to the conclusion that the institution needed to ended around the globe. So Ironically Jax messing up with time with his preferred outcome would have likely led to more globally continued slavery in the recent period.

Holy shit you're even to fucking stupid to post on /pol/ and they are run by confirmed 16 year olds

This is cringe of the highest order. Is every single /pol/tard a 2014 tourist?

I doubt the majority of this board browses /pol/. You don't need to browse /pol/ to hate SJWs.
The problem with people like you and your moral relativism is that you believe if you manage to convince enough people about your own perception of reality created by mental gymnastics, it will become the new norm and people will just stop asking questions, thinking for themselves forever. Your morality is the only right way of thinking, your perception of reality is the right one, you are the good guys, everyone outside you is the bad guys which means you are allowed to destroy everything that gets in your way, since you are the good guys after all fighting the evil.

The problem is reality does not care about your moral relativity. Just because a bunch of dysfunctional people like you infested reddit and twitter, your version of reality is not the norm.
Seriously, I can't even imagine what kind of fucked up life led to a kind of thinking where you think if you downvote enough ""bigots"" for the greater good on an internet forum, suddenly people will change their opinions. If you enforce a certain opinion in a very closed circlejerk no sane person heard of, then automatically its the new norm.
I'm tired of retards like, pretending to be normal, represent the voice of reason. At least kissless virgins on Yea Forums know they are pathetic. Meanwhile, you dysfunctional autists pretend to be normal. Everyone who seen a normal person knows you are not normal. Even according to fucking New York Times, only 8% of the democrats consider themselves progressive. Less than 15% of the US consider themselves a feminist.
I'm tired of you psuedo-normal faggots. You are not normal. You are literally worse than neckbeards. You are an imposter. You only have a sub personality, which is about how much you can virtue signal online.

I don't care for your marketing slogans. How much did it actually sell?

Notice how these threads are all about muh April sales but never about anything else? That's right, it's because the game is so shit it's not even worth talking about

And to finish this rant, nothing makes me want to kill myself more than going on twitter or reddit.
It's not even a meme at this point, the people there are more dysfunctional and autistic than here. It is filled with trannies who look like freaks, I'm talking about 20 something clearly balding men with a gut and lipstick. They are so un-selfaware they genuinely scare the shit out of me. Like I look at them and I know they can snap any moment. They are not just ugly, they genuinely look disgusting. Fucking furries, everywhere. if thats not enough, gay furries. Then people who don't even know their gender and make their identity out of their fetish. People typing shit like "uwu". NEETs in their 20s posting on communist forums. Unhealthy looking men with a gut and beard. Men open to poly relationships expect not even fat and disgusting girls are willing to enter into a relationship with them. Teenagers who already complain about how they want to kill themselves. People who can only make friends through meta circlejerk communities. People who cant stand anything and have to make an anti-meta circlejerk to combat it. 14 year olds who feel "mature for their age" and spend time blogging about how much smart they are.

And I could go on and go on. The point I'm trying to make here, if you are some faggot from GCJ or some other discord tranny group, maybe if you stopped being a pathetic piece of shit more people would believe you are normal. Because right now, there is nothing more demotivating than people like you. The way you talk is like walking on eggshels in case someone has a mental breakdown over a bunch of words on twitter.
Holy fuck stop pretending to be normal you ugly miserable sad faggots
