ITT: We make games that are bound to flop

>Inclusive

Suuuuuure

Horizon sold like 8 million. Gears 5 is doing really well also.

Not gonna lie. This game is a visual treat even on lower settings.

You mean like RDR2, BOTW and literally any Ubisoft game? I fucking WISH liner and hub based games would come back

Control is fucking fantastic but the combination of EGS and non-jerk off bait female protag is too much for the Yea Forums hivemind to overcome

>Female protagonist who look like your every day resident of seattle
>Generic low science fiction setting
>White rooms galore
>Plot has corporation or government as enemy
>Third Person, over the shoulder
>Guns only
>Linear

>Political agenda

>FPP only

>EGS
This is literally the only reason for me to not buy the game. If it was on GOG i would've bought it day one. Publishers are hoping to survive on EGS exclusivity money but by limiting the player base you are limiting the word of mouth and the amount of players that will be interested in future games in that universe. This is a very stupid way of doing business from my point of view. Epic exclusivity money simply can not counteract the lost sales from people who would've bought the game on Steam and GOG.

>I'll start with
>>female protagonist
Because Nier: Automata was a flop.

>story rich
>great soundtrack

>generic female protagonist
>dark tough clothing from hot topic
>boring physics power instead of real magic shit

What is this appealing to the female fantasy or something?

Rich and complicated!

That's different. False equivalency

I don't mind the more realistic protagonist but EGS is a deal breaker for me.
Didn't really help that the console version also runs like shit apparently and it came out around the same time as Astral Chain and Iceborne.

where did you find that outfit?

>I don't mind the more realistic protagonist but EGS is a deal breaker for me

It should be the other way around.

>non-jerk off bait female protag
It's not that so much as how generic she looks. Black coat and pants with red hair. Wow. How interesting. It really doesn't help that she basically only has a pistol.

No I'm pretty sure EGS is the bigger evil.

user begs to differ.

lmfao dilate more tranny

you just can't appreciate the deep social commentary about the deep evil of capitalism!

It's not linear because sometimes you have to go get a keycard and walk back to the locked rooms!

Change female protagonist to male protagonist and you have Quantum break

No it's a pre order bonus outfit or something. The exes unlock them if you didn't pre order the game.

The game is fucking decent you autusts

>Western game with female protagonist
Ftfy

>The game is fucking decent you autusts
>epic games store
Who cares if it's decent. It has cancer attached to it and if you buy it you are literally funding cancer.

Rotfl I dont give a fuck about that, epic store gave me like 15 games for free already. Why would i care about corporate wars? It's not like installing the client costed me anything
Things like these make me think you guys literally have no life. Imagine being upset about """"having"""" to make an account that takes like 3 minutes to set up. Since then I have gotten allan wake, for honour celeste, torchlight, transistor, untold stories, etc. For free

Fair enough, but that also means there are better games out there that are more worthy of our time.

>visual treat
>blurry fucking occlusion shadows around everything

Shadow resolution is set at low. Only textures are set at high and everything else is mid or low. AA is 2x .

>decent
People will either play good games, multiplayer games with some kind of addictive gameplay loop, or "so bad it's good" video games. "Decent" games aren't worth anyone's time because they don't elicit any kind of response, they're just there, not providing any sort of experience that someone would describe as unique or interesting.

turn on raytracing then

Lol F.E.A.R did that back in 06 and better

if you like 3rd person shooters you've likely played all the great ones already
but its important to support good ones so devs don't think they're an outdated genre like strategy games or immerssive sims

You say that but Borderlands 3 has a shit load of players, you gotta remember most people don't browse r/fuckepic and just wanna play games

If devs make a good product and market it wisely then it will sell. Nobody benefits from rewarding mediocrity.

>Papers disappear beneath the floor instead of landing

Is this anti-technology?

You can hate HZD as much as you want but it didn't flop, and nothing you say can every change that.

Didn't play the game. Post a vid or webm of the portion you're referring to.

i havent played this yet but look at the gameplay, it looks so damn bad. the animations suck, the visuals look flat. even the sound design doesnt seem great and the voice actor for the woman is way too dire, all the time.

Last time I checked games like tomb raider, horizon zero dawn, bayonetta etc. all did pretty well

MCs at least didn't look like Christoph Waltz

bl3 had an established group of shit slurpers bent over and ready for randy to drop a deuce down their throats. people who like bl have zero standards.

Sure gib sec

Pastel rectangles

Neither of those anons, but can you shill me HZD? Game is cheap as dirt now but I already have a pretty big backlog as it is so I'm not that convinced in picking it up.

its a B- at worst

>people who like bl have zero standards.

this is actually fact, not even opinion. they are only popular among zoomers because its co op and its a constant drip-feed of loot and it has CUH RAYZ "humor." even when i was in high school and BL first came out i never got it. the gunplay is shit and thats all there is to the game.

As a big fan of FEAR (actually replayed it yesterday), I will say that Control is a major step forward in destructible environment. Even stuff that you thought wouldn't break will break.

youtube.com/watch?v=TMjsqlgtShw

You should, it has the best enemy NPC's in any FPS game. They don't constantly rush you like in HL2, they don't constantly stay in cover like in COD. They decide dynamically how to reduce the threat (you), by things like
>sending a small patrol
>patrol encounters you and dies/retreats while shooting
>main team is rushing into cover in the next room to ambush you
>deciding when they have the positional/numerical advantage and become more aggressive
>deciding when they're fucked and retreat

the list goes on, it's very fun to mess with them.

Despite that, it is and will be a commercial success. does that make you mad?

It should.

But it changes nothing. Just like you.

Maybe but still god damn is FEAR a visual fucking treat.

You have absolutely shit taste user

>I will say that Control is a major step forward in destructible environment

>shoot wooden object
>instead of a hole it produces a large chunk taken it out and a bunch of splintered sections around it
is the gun not firing bullets? that would make sense if it wasnt i guess.

>"This Is the Game, made by a Woman, that Gamergate tried to Stop!"

>>Singleplayer Only
God of War was a massive success. Why is everyone in this thread a braindead dipshit?

>people getting buttmad about EGS

Exclusives work. Oculus did it, Microsoft did it, Sony did it. Nintendo did it, many games are only available on Steam, or GOG, or X platform.

It's time to get over it, man.

>EGS money can't counteract the lost sales

Prove it. BL3 is proof you're wrong.

>Maybe but still god damn is FEAR a visual fucking treat.

And always will be. While Control is amazing, judging by how tech was improving during the 90s and early 2000s, I expected something like that to come out in 2010, not 2019.

Who cares? It's not like realistic bullet interactions are important in a destruction spectacle games. Go play Arma for that shit.

Think it shoots little energy blasts. Regardless the amount of mayhem that happens during shootouts is good fun and something most Remedy games do

>Epic exclusivity money simply can not counteract the lost sales from people who would've bought the game on Steam
This is what steam cultists ACTUALLY believe lmao.

>half the time nothing is happening and the guy is just standing in a room trying to interact with a stack of papers

around the 8:37-8:39 mark he is in a fight and the NPCs are barely even shooting at him, i actually laughed out loud. the protag is floating in the air for everyone to see and the NPCs are just walking toward her with guns out, not firing.

>itt delusional COPE

The setting and story of Control is second-rate SCP, which shouldn't technically be possible.

>Who cares?
>Control is a major step forward in destructible environment

i guess i thought we did, i thought it was what was being discussed. just pointing it out. it occurs to me that if you're praising your destruction system i thought being realistic might be better than being a confetti machine, it appears i was wrong.

i mean, plenty of games have done bullet holes before. you imply it has to be a full on simulation like army but even siege does singular bullet holes, its only when the game detects several in a row that an entire chunk blows out.

I'm praising a destruction system that looks like an over-the-top action movie.

well, video games being 50% movie are Remedys bread and butter so thats pretty on-brand. maybe the gun shoots shards like the guns in Altered Carbon and thats why they blown out chunks, who knows. i figured someone who played the game might.

>1 minute of gameplay and 30 minutes of cinematics

>the animations suck, the visuals look flat. even the sound design doesnt seem great and the voice actor for the woman is way too dire, all the time.
How any of this

Why so much bad faith criticism for this game

>You should, it has the best enemy NPC's in any FPS game

Heard a lot of good things about enemy AI in FEAR. Is that gameplay with modded textures or something cuz if not that's really fucking good for a game that came out in 06.

Know your lane

*sells 10 million on PS4*

It came out in 2005. And that's not modded.

Not as many games have as much attention to detail when it comes to destructibility
The fact that it could run on anything with those effects is nothing short of impressive

>Nu Raider
>Did well
Nope

Games with female protagonists like Shantae do well because they focus at quality and fun, unlike most "woken" crap like The Last of Jews

wow, this looks boring.

Another one with the projector and some other game physics. Levitating the3 projector also moves the picture.
