Xbox Game Studios Stupidity Hate Thread Game Pass Edition

[TrainWreckWatcher]

Probably the opposite will happen. They will get the money saved from wiping out other studios to hyper focus on Elder Scrolls and Fallout main series titles. In hopes that those games will be enough as exclusives to keep the Xbox ecosystem alive for another generation. I doubt that they have the talent left to make a game better than Oblivion or even Fallout 3. Let alone something like New Vegas.

Maybe Bethesda will be forced to rush it.
But obsidian has put out several games and all have been flops. Besides the lil mini people game which was outsourced from what I understand.

I also have a question for the people excited for E-Day: why? I watched the gameplay demo from the showcase and it looks like the exact same Gears gameplay we've had for 20 years.

That's why people are excited. It's been the same gameplay of impossibly chunky dudes murdering aliens underground dwelling bad guys for 2 decades and it fucking rules.

Very few games get the "weight" of gunplay right like Gears does. Also, the default gun has a chainsaw. It's so unapologetically dumb and balls-out that it comes back around to being brilliant.

This has been a problem since long before woke was even a concept. Dead Space 2 is infamously rumoured to have never made a profit, despite being a darling of critics and fans, because it was so expensive to make. That's why evil EA forced Visceral to pivot Dead Space 3 into a generic co-op shooter filled with microtransactions, but all that did was strip the series of its USP so even the fans didn't buy it.

I imagine someone at EA feels very stupid now for killing their equivalent to Resident Evil, considering the actual RE has turned into a reliable moneyprinter for Capcom.

It's especially funny because RE had encountered a similar issue as Dead Space by the time RE6 rolled around - loss of identity and audience fatigue, but instead of giving up on the franchise Capcom actually took a step back and reevaluated things, and managed to revitalize the franchise.

The biggest issue is that Bethesda lacks the talent to make a good game. Arguably, Skyrim was a lucky outliner and they have lacked that ability since after Morrowind.

The current Bethesda is a bloated, shambling corpse carried by sheer inertia. They haven't released a hit since Skyrim, Fallout 4 selling well on the backs of Fallout 3 and especially New Vegas.

Fallout 76 was an unmitigated disaster, and Starfield is a moribund IP they are unlikely to ever revisit again.

The company is made up by out-of-touch retards in ivory towers (Todd, Emil), woke and obese dangerhairs, and an underclass of jeets sweating away to make slop.

Nobody can seriously claim that a competent developer would need as much as Bethesda has to release TESVI considering just how much they recycle going from one game to another.

Just compare their pathetic ineptitude to the cadence of releases of FromSoftware - they can an do release major titles every 2-3 years.

It's a shame they decided on a pointless (but very expensive) DS1 remake when even running on backwards compat on the Xbox the 2008 original still looks fantastic. It would have made more sense to release a remaster of 1&2 then remake 3 as a proper Dead Space game if the interest was there.

Capcom really won a watch with RE and Monster Hunter's success, since both can easily pump out sequels and remakes with relatively little time and effort. I'm curious to see if they'll bend the knee on the tranny character in the Code Veronica remake.

I hope Obsidian and Bethesda feel the touch of the culling too.
They've rested too long on accomplishing nothing good.

Bethesda did not scale well when the studio expanded and devs that have left it (read: the actual talented people who made Skyrim) said that every creative decision still has to be run by Todd. And there’s constant meetings and bureaucracy. It’s easy to see why Starfield turned out the way it did with such an inefficient development process, but Todd and Emil are also creatively bankrupt hacks. They need to be demoted to janitors.

Wish granted, according to Nichegamer mass layoffs at Bethesda have began.

RE Requiem found a nice balance by including both Survival Horror and Action Horror.

Bethesda was warned. Once, twice, thrice and many many more. The Creation Engine is an outdated, tangled mess of a software. Every game keeps 90% of the previous game's bugs and adds twice more new ones. Should have made a new engine while they still had a reputation to shield them from criticism. After F76, they are a joke.

There's something really funny about how game development has NEVER had an easier entry point. For like £200 I can buy hundreds of soundpacks and assets off the Unreal store and using the FREE Unreal engine could probably put out a fun little game in 6 months. It won't be anything spectacular but this is coming from a retard with entry level coding experience.

Why the absolute fuck aren't all these teams just... doing that? Get three guys to knock out a project in 6 months and with a strict deadline you've got something tangible that COULD be sold. If there's a fear of it devaluing the brand, just release it under a new umbrella like idek Bethesda Micro or something. THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT MICROSOFT WANTED FOR GAMEPASS. Why the fuck can I, someone outside of the game industry realise this and yet every single fucking company under the Microsoft umbrella can't?

God, the more I think about this the ENTIRE game industry needs to have a huge culling. The cream will rise to the top and the fear or losing your entire livelihood will result in more passion projects. The age of the 3000+ employee studios is OVER.

The real tragedy in all of this is that Gearbox remains unaffected and Randy Pitchford still has a job.

A lot of these devs we're supposed to feel sorry for probably got very comfy getting paid to do nothing on Microsoft and Sony's dime.

Actually putting your reputation on the line and making an indie game with your face very publicly attached runs the risk of exposing the industry grift that 99% of these people suck at their jobs.

well heres the thing: you already answered your own question

moment you do this, its called an asset flip and no one will buy it

AAA games are now so expensive they have to be accessible to everyone (which means they have to play the same as everything else and carry little to no challenge) or they target niche demographics who don't buy games in large enough numbers to have any chance of seeing RoI.

I mean, we can see where some of that has happened that isn't hardware getting better and having to make better graphics/models to compensate, with Sony blowing money left and right on live service projects that only ever bomb and waste tons of resources for a season or two of content that won't fully see the light of day over a smaller scale game that would be considerably less expensive, and the times they do something that isn't a live service like the God of War game not starring the God of War, they spend it on shit that is absolutely a waste of budget like the mocap for the fucking cube when it could just be traditionally animated like it has been for years on end that they proudly show off like it's something that's supposed to be cool.

With other AAA studios or even any Sony or Microsoft-adjacent studios, it probably wouldn't be that hard to find something like the above if you dig deep into the development of thier recent games.

Unfortunately, Borderlands still sells ok despite being a dumpster fire of a series, and I think that they're somewhat propped up because their owner makes a killing on microtransactions from 2K Sports niggercattle.

Randy strikes me as the kind of guy that blackmails everyone else over their gooning but can't be blackmailed himself because he's too shameless.

[Silvanus Thompson]

Was she hired specifically because she had no connections to the gaming world?

In the sense that she could proceed with the culling without remorse or mercy.

That is somewhat admirable. Imagine being so true to yourself that it can't be used against you.

Makes sense. She is also someone they would have the chance to cozy up to.

That would be an unexpectedly clever maneuver by Microsoft (not something jeets are known for, but hey, happy accidents happen). It would also make it particularly juicy that immediately following her hiring she did that "thing" where she posted all her "gaming bonafides" and people mocked her mercilessly for it obviously being the work of a handful of jeets turned loose on a brand new account to build up some quick achievements.

Who's laughing now, eh gaming community?

 

[Oliver Onions]

Was she hired specifically because she had no connections to the gaming world?

Probably. I've floated the theory before she was hired not to save Xbox but to audit it and determine what assets could be salvaged and made profitable.

Judging by the on-going layoffs and studio closures the answer is apparently not much.

 

[PanLake007]

The same thing for Baldur's Gate 3, Expedition 33, Undertale, and so on - no one really cares if the game itself is good.

A lot of people care, and if you are anti-woke you don't give these motherfuckers your money simple as that.

Those games you mentioned are left wing.

Baldur's Gate 3, Expedition 33, Undertale are woke slop, BG3, everybody is bisexual, it's full of warrior women and niggers, even druid niggers and you can fuck a bear, how is that not woke. Didn't of course stop Kiwi retards from playing this trash book game, and giving them money, even the game was cracked day 1. Same true for Rogue Trader another woke book slop game full of niggers and warrior women Kiwifarmers love to jerk off to, and that all in the W40K universe (White men!). European Fantasy is White, there shouldn't be a single nigger in it. Expedition 33, niggers and warrior women everywhere.

That's why people are excited. It's been the same gameplay of impossibly chunky dudes murdering aliens underground dwelling bad guys for 2 decades and it fucking rules.

Very few games get the "weight" of gunplay right like Gears does. Also, the default gun has a chainsaw. It's so unapologetically dumb and balls-out that it comes back around to being brilliant.

How brain fucked are you guys. Imagine getting excided about a game made by troons and niggers, that has even more niggers and hideous warrior women in it than last time. There is nothing cool or masculine about the new Feminist of Nigger Troons. I bet Kiwifarmers jerking off to the disgusting creature in the third pic, chunky dude indeed.



The games section is really just woke vermin at this point or "anti-woke" people being apologists for woke slop because they have to consume and can't find another hobby or play older games, so they happily give money (also too retarded to pirate apparently) to anti-White companies. Or the games section is just blacks and browns at this point, them buying woke games I totally understand, and my criticism isn't direct towards them. But if you are White and support this here on the Kiwifarms (reddit exists, you know the place where woke Whites can jerk off to anti-White hatred) you are just filth and I hope you get raped to death by a niggers or Muslims.

PS pathetic how mods (all woke, brown or black I assume) don't remove this woke filth, games section feels more and more like reddit by the day.
